[No wonder 1 couldn’t probe deeper. The corpses that were thrown into the water have formed a natural magnetic field over the years. After the two interferences, the water quality here has also changed greatly, and it has also blocked my perception.]
In theory, Meatball’s domain could scan a very wide area. In fact, when Ah Yu completed more missions, it could also upgrade its authority to envelop the entire planet and the galaxy it was in. It was not difficult.
However, this was only in theory. In fact, some special obstructions could block its perception and cognition.
This was also the reason why Meatbail didn’t often let Ah Yu use the x-ray vision. It was afraid that after Ah Yu got used to it, she wouldn’t be able to deal with a special area.
Hearing Meatball’s words, All Yu had other thoughts.
“Elf, Jiangsai City didn’t become like this in a year or two, so the water here naturally didn’t form this phenomenon in a short time. We’ve already begun to reorganize Jiangsai City. The Protectorate General and City Lord Wan are both under my control now. Is there still a huge external force that we haven’t discovered? Otherwise, the strangeness of this water area would have long been used by someone to do something.”
Ah Yu did not think too deeply about it. She only felt that after she came here, she had become very suspicious of the water here. Now that she had discovered the secret under the water, it was very difficult for her not to think about it.
After that, Ah Yu asked Chi Tu to continue investigating. She did not even have to deliberately hide the news. She only wanted to know if there was another person hiding behind the scenes.
When King Xiaoyao and w.a.n.g Wulang returned from this round of victory, it was already the 13th of August. All Yu’s investigation had also made much progress.
Originally, when they investigated with great fanfare, they were seen by the surrounding commoners. They did not care at first, but Chi Tu and the Governor-General had brought many people with them. In addition, King Xiaoyao’s manpower was very large.
These people fished up the corpses from the rivers in Jiangsai City every day.
On the first day, after they salvaged more than 30, more onlookers gathered every day.
In the next few days, someone even secretly handed them a note, indicating that they should stop.
A few old doctors also came to remind them, “If we forcefully salvage these rotting corpses, I’m afraid a plague will spread!”
Chi Tu said, “Despite lying in the river for so many years, it didn’t cause a plague. Can it still cause a plague by being fished out?”
The old doctors couldn’t answer, so they could only let them do as they pleased.
After King Xiaoyao returned and heard what Ah Yu had done, he did not ask her why she had done this. He only said, “All Yu, do whatever you want. In less than three months, the few remaining bandit dens around will be cleaned up. At that time, Jiangsai will be different.”
“Uncle Ah Shu, I didn’t think too much about it, but it’s fine if they didn’t discover anything. Since they did, we have to bury them safely,” All Yu said. “We’ve already made some progress during this period of time. It was those people from the West Wind Nation who provided the clues. However, we still have to trouble Uncle Ah Shu to help us mediate. In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days. 1 realized that the people here don’t celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wanted to distribute some mooncakes. I wonder if it’s feasible.”
King Xiaoyao: “Of course it’s feasible. I remember that the Mid-Autumn Festival is also your birthday. There are White Sand Foxes here. In the afternoon, I’ll bring people to hunt a few for you and make them into scarves. They’ll be useful for the winter.”
“There’s no need. In the past, my family has always celebrated my birthday for me. This year, I’m working as an official outside. It’s not good to be too extravagant. I’ll celebrate the holidays with everyone.”
“Alright, it’s up to you.”
At this moment, Chi Ding returned and reported, “Miss Ah Yu, someone has appeared.”
Ah Yu stood up. “Uncle Chi Ding, bring me to take a look.”
w.a.n.g Wulang, who had been napping at the side, woke up with a start. He wiped his face and said, “All Yu, where are you going? 1’11 accompany you!”
Fighting outside was even more tiring than he had imagined. Even with Ah Yu secretly feeding him the spiritual spring water, w.a.n.g Wulang’s face was still filled with obvious fatigue.
Not only would All Yu get someone to salvage the corpses, but she would also let the surrounding commoners go forward to identify them. If they could identify the corpses and were willing to take them away, she would let them take them away and bury them. If they were unwilling, they would dig a hole and bury them after some investigation.
She even paid the workers who dug the pit.
Although there were also many people who had families here, the family ties here were relatively thin. Even if some people recognized their deceased families, they were unwilling to claim them.
There were even people who scolded them for being nosy because after some of their families pa.s.sed away, they were thrown into the river. Who would have thought that they would be fished out?
As for those who caused trouble, Ah Yu asked the Governor-General to deal with them. If the bailiffs sent by the Governor-General could not suppress them, she would ask City Lord Wan to send someone.
Most people bullied the weak and feared the strong, so they did not dare to cause trouble again.
When Ah Yu arrived at a restaurant, the person waiting there had his back facing her and his tone was very arrogant. “Ignorant child, if you stop here, 1 can leave your corpse intact. Otherwise, you, your family, and your subordinates will die a horrible death.”
Chi Tu and Chi Gou instantly blocked in front of Ah Yu.
“How arrogant!” The murderous aura that w.a.n.g Wulang had cultivated on the battlefield appeared at this moment. “Who exactly are you to be so arrogant!”
The person turned around. All Yu and w.a.n.g Wulang were stunned.
“It’s you?”
The person who came was none other than someone they had seen before..
