Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 201 Vitality House

Obviously, everyone's attention is now focused on the disappearance of the village guards.

"Where is the village guard you found?"

Heisen felt that it would be easier to analyze clues starting from the victim. Seno also thought of this, but he did not want to act with someone who could not be distinguished as an enemy or a friend for the time being.

"Where is that child you were talking about?"

Seno chose to get some useful information from Isaac.

The two clues have been divided up. Dixia has no clue for the time being and can only wait for them to bring back information before taking the next step.

After a while, the sandstorm subsided and Candice returned safely, accompanied by the village chief Anpu.

"It's almost lunchtime, why don't you stay and have a quick meal together?"

During the chat, Hines told Anpu that everyone present was willing to intervene in the matter of the missing village guards, which touched Anpu a little.

The silent lunch ended quickly. There was no way around it; the atmosphere was too depressing.

Heisen and Seno sat on opposite sides of the table, their distrust of each other almost written on their faces.

Fortunately, An Pu tried his best to find topics to talk about, which made the dinner go smoothly.

During the chat, Anpu also revealed an important piece of information: the number of sandstorms in the desert has increased significantly recently.

This phenomenon is related to the withering of the World Tree.

The withering of the World Tree manifests itself in the accelerated creation of dead zones in the rainforest and in the increased occurrence of sandstorms and earthquakes in the desert.

After the dinner, Hines and Egolia planned to continue to investigate matters related to the Demonic Scale Disease at the hospital ruins.

"So where are you going?"

Hines asked Ying and Paimon casually.

"Why don't we go with you!"

Of course Paimon wanted to goof off with reliable people, but unfortunately, Paimon's opinion didn't matter on this issue.

"I plan to go find that child with Senor."

Faced with Heisen, with whom he had worked before, and Seno, who he knew very little about, Ying still felt that he should observe this unfamiliar "discipline officer" first.

Paimon sank slowly and helplessly from the air. She had no right to resist the decision made by Ying.

"Then I hope everyone can get useful information."

Hines and Egolia waved goodbye to everyone and left the room.

Heisen asked Candice about the current residence of the village guards who were brought back, and also started his own action.

"First, find a place to exchange information."

Seno had no complaints about Ying's behavior of not trusting him. If he were in Ying's position, he would make a similar decision.

"Candice, what happened to those mercenary prisoners they captured?"

Candice naturally understood what Dixia was concerned about.

"Don't worry, they're still alive, but they don't really have any useful information. Do you want to go check it out?"

......

"Xige ran away again..."

"There's nothing we can do. With so many new characters, it wouldn't be appropriate for Xige to steal the show."

"That makes sense. So when will Hines be re-engraved?"

......

This time, Sines and Egolia could tell the direction of the ruins without looking at the map, simply because the red color on the ground was too obvious.

"Hines, be more careful next time."

Egolia was somewhat helpless. Even if they were enemies, being dragged along like this was too much...

"Next time I will be sure not to damage the environment."

I'm not asking you to pay attention to this!

Egolia rolled her eyes and didn't dwell on the topic any further.

The road in the desert was so unappealing that the two of them hurried back to the ruins at full speed.

"Some footprints appeared here, and it's obvious they're not ours."

Hines squatted at the entrance of the hospital, observing the traces on the sand that had not yet been covered by the wind and sand.

"Is it that group of mercenaries?"

Hines shook his head.

"I don't know. Maybe they, or maybe the mastermind behind this, noticed something."

It seems that the mercenaries should have set up an action to send messages to report safety at a specific time every day.

The mercenaries stationed here in the morning were no longer able to complete the task of delivering the message.

"Let's first look for clues related to the Demonic Scale Disease. We'll go back and discuss the issue of the missing village guards with Ying and the others."

Hines spread his hands helplessly. Egolia's kindness always made her get involved in troubles that did not belong to her.

But it doesn't matter, he will help her solve it.

Walking through the secret passage and returning to the basement, nothing here seemed to have changed.

"Fortunately, it seems that they only care about the village guards who are temporarily left here. Let's split up and look for clues."

Being in the real situation was completely different from what one saw in the game. Hines looked at the narrow hospital bed, which was separated only by a piece of rag.

The withered black branches are placed in a cracked vase. Perhaps long ago, there was a beautiful rose here.

Chines picked up the vase and looked at the words on the bottom.

"To Alvin..."

Even though Hines tried to move as lightly as possible, the fragile vase could not withstand the pressure.

"Hines? What's wrong?"

The area Egolia searched was very small, with only some useless paper materials. After she finished her exploration, she walked towards Hines and happened to see Hines breaking the vase.

"It's okay. The person who originally lived here seems to be called Ivan. Did you find any useful clues?"

Egolia shook her head.

"It's all unimportant stuff, except that I saw Abbas's name again, and there are three doctors here, but one's name is blacked out..."

There is no doubt that this unnamed doctor is the most suspicious.

Hines nodded silently and continued to check other beds. The tableware, which had long been covered with dust, and the blackened earthenware jars, were all covered by the erosion of time.

Egolia looked at the beds on the ground, not knowing what to say. Each bed was stained with blood.

The treatment here may be the same as that in the ruins.

The two continued to go deeper, and at the deepest part, they saw an abandoned test bench with only worthless bottles and jars on it.

"Here, there is a key."

Under the test bench, Hines found the most critical mission prop. Only with it can he truly uncover the history of the Vitality House.

"key?"

Egolia recalled that there seemed to be no locks underground. So where was this key used for? Could it have been dropped by the previous village guard?

"Maybe on the ground?"

Hines's 'guess' was as accurate as ever. When the two returned to the surface, they indeed found a lock in another room that could be opened by this key.

"Another document?"

Egolia watched as Hines opened the cabinet, and the long-covered papers finally saw the light of day, but she still had a familiar feeling.
