Hutao uses me to judge my performance

The arrows condensed by the water flow struck the Fool soldiers who were standing next to the crack with props in their hands and measuring something with a sound of breaking through the air.

The soldier sensed the danger, but it was too late. He watched helplessly as the water arrow with terrifying power struck him, hitting him in the chest.

Before Jiang Bai did anything, he saw Yelan next to him taking off his disguise, turning into a shadow and rushing towards the other fools in the cave.

Only then did Jiang Bai really see her face.

This is a very beautiful woman, but judging from her no-nonsense skills, she is also an extremely cold and dangerous woman.

Several Fool soldiers didn't put up much resistance, and were all tied up by her with water lines.

She tugged at the lifeline that tied all these people together, and stepped on the shoulder of one of the fools with one foot. Her short and neat short hair covered half of her eyes. She stared at them condescendingly, her eyes filled with confusion. Leng Sen.

"This is Liyue's forbidden area, who allowed you to enter?"

The few fools didn't react at all to this sudden crisis, and they are still a little confused.

It's true that they entered a blocked area, but they were really just doing research and didn't do much.

They were just a research team and not very strong, so they were defeated by Ye Lan easily.

"We...were just doing research..." one of them said.

"Huh? If you had said this before you released the demon god, I might still have believed you. But after you did such a thing, and you said such a thing in such a dangerous place, do you think I would? Do you believe it?"

Yelan grabbed the person who spoke by the collar and looked at him indifferently.

"That was done by Mr. Young Master, and we didn't know either..."

These fools and researchers felt that they were wronged, very wronged, and they cursed the unreliable executive officer bloody in their hearts.

They, these innocent soldiers, were made to take the blame for what their superiors had done, but there was no other way. Who made them all fools?

The speaker had a bitter look on his face, "Our mission is to study the dark pollution and find other purification methods besides long nails. We really don't have any bad intentions in the dark..."

Although what they did was beneficial to all mankind, they were no longer trusted after the incident of releasing the demon god to wreak havoc in Liyue.

Even if the starting point is good, given the lessons learned from the past, their presence here has become a sin in itself.

"This is a relatively safe dark crack. It is isolated from the real world by a magic circle. The pollution in the past has been gradually purified over the past 500 years..."

"Although this crack has not disappeared, and dirty energy still escapes from it from time to time, due to the suppression and purification of the crystal stones floating in the air, the pollution of the escaped energy is already very small, so we can conduct research here. …”

"We really didn't destroy the seal here. If you don't believe it, you can check it, really!"

Each of the several researchers spoke with bitter expressions on their faces.

"I think what they said must be true."

Jiang Bai came over with the experimental records he found.

The date, process, and experimental data of the experiment are recorded in detail above.

To be honest, he was also surprised when he saw this experimental log on filth energy.

He has always had a bad impression of the Fools. He feels that they do whatever they want to achieve their goals, and they are just a bunch of troublemakers.

But now, he has really changed a bit.

It turns out that they are not all doing bad things, sometimes they do some human things.

Ye Lan took the experiment log and read it at a glance, checking the seal after confirming the authenticity of the above.

There is indeed no sign of damage to the seal, and it is still functioning.

She checked the surroundings carefully again and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that these instruments were just testing instruments.

As long as the seal has not been destroyed, I am worried that these fools are brewing some conspiracy. Liyue, who has just experienced a catastrophe, cannot withstand such a series of torments.

"Do you know what this floating crystal is? And how was this crack created? What is the dirty energy pouring out of it?"

Jiang Bai has too many doubts. Perhaps these stupid researchers can help him answer some.

One of the researchers, who looked older, answered:

"This is a spike fragment dropped from Sky Island. According to our research, this spike can purify these dirty energies and has a certain repairing effect on Teyvat's cracks..."

"Albedo also said that this spike has the energy to purify dirty energy. It seems like this..." Jiang Bai was thoughtful.

After knowing the history of the Snow Mountain, he had a hostile attitude towards the punishment spikes dropped from the sky. After all, lowering the spikes to destroy a country without any reason could not be called a good intention.

But it happened that the Nail of Hantian purified the pollution caused by the poisonous blood of the demon dragon several years later...

It can only be said that there is no good or evil in the item itself. After all, it still depends on the person or god behind it.

The use of their Sky Island not only destroyed the ancient Snow Mountain Kingdom, but also saved countless lives in other places. It cannot be judged simply by good and evil.

Just like the fools, although some of their actions can be called serious sins, some of them are truly saving.

It can only be said that people are complicated, an organization is like this, gods are like this, and even the Sky Island far away in the sky is like this.

"What about this crack? How did it appear?"

The researcher didn't need to answer this question. Ye Lan answered his question.

"500 years ago, a dark disaster enveloped all countries, and countless terrifying monsters came to our land from these cracks. Dun Yuling was the first to be affected. It was countless ancestors and Qianyan Army who used their lives to control the situation. With the suppression of this crystal, this crack is sealed here...

"However, Dun Yuling has been contaminated and cannot be lived in any longer. The Qianyan Army can only organize the residents to evacuate and seal the place completely."

There are two more updates tonight, please vote for me!

Chapter 343 He died of natural causes

"So that's it..." Jiang Bai understood.

The story of Escape from Yuling itself is not complicated, but it has been too long and there has been no official explanation, so it has become a historical mystery.

It's just that this mystery is a mystery to some people, but to those in the know, it's not at all.

For a moment, Jiang Bai felt a little pity for Wan Liangji.

If he could have known the truth here earlier, would he not have died here?

Speaking of which, where is Wan Liangji's body?

How did he avoid so many fools and soldiers and enter here?

"Have you ever met an adventurer from Liyue?" Jiang Bai asked these researchers.

Hearing this, the researchers looked at each other in confusion, and finally the most prestigious among them took the initiative to speak.

"If you are looking for the adventurer named Wan Liangji, he is in the open space over there."

Because he was tied up, he couldn't make the movements that his wife did and could only use his chin to indicate the direction.

"We saw that he hadn't come out in the morning, so we wanted to go in and call him, but when we went in we found that he was not breathing..."

"Although with the presence of seals and crystals, the harm caused by the dirty energy here to people is greatly reduced, the damage is still there. His health was not very good before, and I am afraid he has reached his limit..."

"Well, we want him to leave this underground place, but he is too stubborn and unwilling to listen to us, so we can only let him..."

Hearing the familiarity in these words, Jiang Bai paused and gave them a complicated look.

He walked to the location pointed by these fools. This location was the farthest corner from the crack in the cave. Wan Liangji's body was next to it, and there was a tent next to it.

Although this adventurer named Wan Liangji is only in his 50s, most of his hair is already gray. His years of adventure life have left him in poor health. In addition, he suffered many injuries when he was young, and these injuries have not been completely healed. It turned into a hidden injury that has been affecting his body.

He had his eyes closed and the expression on his face was very calm, as if he had quietly lost consciousness in his sleep.

Jiang Baizai carefully inspected the state of the body and found no external injuries. It seemed that he died of natural causes.

Yelan also walked over, her eyes falling on the deceased adventurer.

Judging from the traces around him, this adventurer has obviously been living here for a while and has never even gone out.

And I'm afraid he didn't enter here alone, but with these fools.

She walked into the tent next to her and looked around.

The tent was a bit messy. A pair of muddy boots were placed casually by the door. There was a sleeping bag on the left side. The sleeping bag was a bit messy. There were some clothes piled on the wooden boxes next to it. One of them was made of stones and wood chips. A simple desk was set up with ink and some books on it.

Several pieces of paper filled with words were sandwiched in the book. She took out the paper and began to read the records on it.

It was a diary of some kind, except there was no date written on it.

[...It has been a few days since I came to Dun Yuling. Even though I have been here many times, it is still difficult to imagine what kind of star can make such a huge dent in the solid rock. Moreover, the star it smashed is still... Not completely, just fragments of it.

The real star fell on the current layered rock abyss. Compared to the abyss, which is like the eye of the earth, Dunyuling, which is just a small basin, seems a bit insignificant.

But even if it is insignificant, to me, this place is still huge, huge, and impossible to explore in a few months.

Unfortunately, these records are so old that I don't know whether I should believe their authenticity.

Are there really stars falling from the sky?If what hit here was just a fragment of the star, why did it fall so far away?

Shouldn't Lingjuguan and Qingxupu be closer?

I hope that this trip can find some evidence about the sky stars. Only real evidence can ensure that what I write is correct and will not let my book become a toilet reading that is criticized as a fabrication...

……

I have been here for a week. 500 years have passed. The ruins here have been visited countless times by the stolen treasure group, and nothing of value has been left behind.

But even so, I still found some ancient papers from the buried ruins.

This should be a diary written by the residents here a long time ago. It has been so long that many of the handwriting cannot be read clearly, and the paper has become very fragile. I read it carefully and finally found some fragments about the past.

Huge changes took place here 500 years ago. A gray mist shrouded the city. Some people's temperaments changed drastically. They attacked everyone like monsters. Some people fell ill directly. There were also dark monsters appearing silently in the city.

I think this should be the reason why the residents evacuated from here. It was too dangerous and it would be life-threatening to stay here.

It's a pity that there are no more parts of this diary, and I don't know whether the person who wrote it evacuated or died in the disaster.

But from a historical perspective, this is a disaster that has been eliminated.

I should have thought of it a long time ago. Something big must have happened to turn a once prosperous city into ruins, and the dark disaster that swept everywhere 500 years ago was undoubtedly the most likely possibility.

But, what exactly is this dark disaster?Where did it come from?

Why did it sweep all countries 500 years ago when it never happened in the more distant past?

I originally came here only to study why this place was suddenly closed. I should leave after getting the answer, but once my curiosity arose, I couldn't control it.

I want to know what the dark disaster is, why it appears, and why it will not appear again.

If we learn more about it, when this dark disaster occurs again, our current people will not be as helpless as the former residents here.

……

I've been here for another week and sadly I didn't find anything this week.

But surprisingly, I met a group of fools.

This group of fools is different from the soldiers I have seen before, more like scholars.

When these fools saw that I was stationed in the Dunyuling, they came forward to talk to me. Several of them were very knowledgeable and could actually tell a thing or two about the strange activities in the abyss.

But the abyss has been sealed, and it is said that a lot of weird black mud has appeared in it. This black mud not only affects people's health, but also affects people's sanity and even the environment. It is very evil.

Chapter 344 But I can still die

These fools are also stationed in Dunyuling, and we have become people who can speak well.

After spending another week together, they knew what I was investigating and what happened here 500 years ago.

No, it should be said that they have long known that something happened here 500 years ago, but they are not as detailed as I know, and that is why they came here.

To be more precise, they came for the fragments of the sky star that were said to have escaped.

We reached an agreement on our goals and began to cooperate.

But I don't believe them, after all, they are fools.

I had the idea of ​​using them and getting more secrets from them, and they had the same idea as me.

We stayed here for a long time, and they brought out many advanced instruments that I had never seen before.

Finally, under the inspection of their instruments, we found that the dark pollution here had not been completely eliminated, and some still existed.

They dug a tunnel all the way to the site of filth.

I think it is not good to enter dangerous areas privately. It should at least be reported to the General Affairs Department for approval before taking action, but my dissuasion is meaningless to them.

I followed them into the underground and saw the sealed dark crack and the stars suspended in mid-air.
