Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Chapter 74: Abnormalities in Succession

"So magical?" Ying said in amazement, "To have such a treasure, isn't she a cultivator of the magic sect?"

A treasure that is loved by people all over the world must have an extraordinary influence. Ying felt that a cultivator of the devil's way would not give it to other people casually, so there was a high possibility that this woman was a cultivator of the devil's way. But looking at Ling Yue's appearance, she didn't seem to think so.

"This thing is not as powerful as you think. If you knew where this charm bead came from, you would understand that its effect is not that strong."

"How did it come about?" Ying asked curiously, and Guiyan was also curious.

Ling Yue organized her words and then said:

“There is a kind of fox demon that can transform into a human form, but it does not have human intelligence. The reason it transforms into a human form is just to facilitate activities in places where humans live and steal some food.

However, the fox demon's magic power is not strong, and its changing appearance may not be good-looking. In order to avoid being killed by others, they have a charm bead in their body that they have cultivated. With this bead, they can move safely in front of ordinary people.

But once their stealing behavior is discovered, people will become wary of it and the effect of the charm beads will disappear. The natural result is that their identities as monsters will be discovered, and they often end up dying.

However, people with some knowledge would know the existence of the charm beads. They only need to tie up the foxes that have turned back to their original forms, put a jar with a very small mouth in front of them, and put freshly roasted meat in it. The foxes will want to eat the meat because of the aroma, but they cannot reach it.

If you attract a fox like this for three days, it will die of hunger and spit out the charm beads in its body. During this process, if the fox dies prematurely or is killed by other methods, the charm beads will disappear and can no longer be obtained. "

After listening to Ling Yue's description, Ying was silent for a while, and then said with some hesitation:

"It sounds... a bit cruel."

"Yes, it is very cruel. So, if the charm bead really has such a powerful effect, do you think the fox demon would still die? And look at those people in the hotel, they didn't do anything extreme."

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there really wasn't anyone like that. When Ying and the others were investigating in the hotel, they only found one or two people running over and talking to the lady.

Including Ying herself, she just felt that this person had become more attractive. She didn't want to get close to this person crazily, and she didn't even have the idea of ​​getting close to her.

"Then how do you explain the restlessness you mentioned?" Ying asked.

"Well, it may be just like what you said. Although it is winter now, for people, it can be spring all year round. When seeing someone they like, some people will always feel restless inside, especially since this hotel has a large flow of people. This is even more true when the number of people is large."

If one out of ten people feels restless, no one will think there is anything wrong. But if ten out of a hundred people feel restless, then the feeling will be different.

"...I understand. But not everyone can get this kind of thing." As Ying spoke, she noticed that the woman walked out of the hotel. Some people's attention was attracted by her, but no one followed her.

It was when she started walking that Ying discovered that there was a white bead the size of a chess piece hanging around the other person's neck, which looked very smooth.

Ying, however, planned to follow her, not because she was affected by the charm bead. After all, Ling Yue had already removed the influence of the charm bead on her, and she was now wary of this person, so the charm bead was naturally of no use to her.

She followed this woman because she felt that this woman had some connection with the evil cultivator and wanted to find the evil cultivator behind her through her.

But Ling Yue stopped her.

"No need to follow her, just remember her and hand her over to the people of Tiancang Sect to deal with her later."

"Why?" Ying was still confused.

Not to mention that there might be a traitor in the Tiancang Sect, what would we do if we didn't continue to follow up on the clues we had finally discovered and ended up cutting off the clues?

"If I have enough mana and can recover it, I can use magic to make her tell me who gave her the charm bead. However, I think it is impossible for a demon monk to reveal herself so easily. I am more inclined to believe that she knows nothing."

"Just leave it like that?" Ying was still a little reluctant, but if Ling Yue insisted, she was going to listen to him.

Ling Yue said mysteriously:

"I have experience in dealing with demonic cultivators. I have an idea now. It's time to take action."

After saying that, she brought Ying to the second place, which was located to the east of Canglan Tower. Ying still had some impression of this place.

Although she had never been here, she remembered Shu Dan mentioned in the previous timeline that this was where he opened a clinic.

As soon as Ying arrived here, she felt that this was another strange coincidence and subconsciously thought that the abnormal location was inside Shu Dan's clinic. However, according to the results of Ling Yue's investigation with spiritual sense, the place where the problem occurred was actually an ordinary residential house.

"What's the problem here?" Ying asked.

This place is close to Dongcheng District, and the style of the houses is the same as that of Sangge and Xiaonan's homes. There are not many people here even in broad daylight, so it seems a little too quiet.

Ying looked around the place carefully, and at least from the outside, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

But under Ling Yue's spiritual sense, any abnormality could be detected.

"Look!" Ling Yue pointed at the window of that house from a distance. Suddenly, a huge black hand appeared on the seemingly ordinary window. It was hit by Ling Yue's spell and quickly fell to the ground.

"Ying! Take action! That's a monster!" Ling Yue immediately shouted to Ying.

Ying was also unambiguous. As soon as Ling Yue finished speaking, the black sword appeared in Ying's hand. Accompanied by the lightning of the thunder element, in just a moment, Ying arrived in front of the huge black hand.

Then, three lightning shadows flew out from the tip of Ying's sword and accurately hit the black-handed monster. The monster died with just a scream.

But this is not the end. After the black hand monster's body fell, it changed again and became a pair of black wings.

Ling Yue also walked over afterwards. She was not surprised at all and simply grabbed the pair of wings, shook them in the air, and then a piece of black jade fell out of the wings.

"What is this?" Ying asked, but Ling Yue still didn't tell her the answer. She just blinked and said:

"There's another place. We'll talk about it after we finish looking at it."

It was already noon when we arrived at the third place. Compared with the slightly cold air in the early morning, the warm sun at noon made people feel a lot more comfortable.

This is the farthest place from Tiancang Sect among the three locations. It is located to the north of Tiancang Sect. However, if you calculate carefully, the journey between the two is only about half an hour. If there really are cultivators from the evil sect here, they can be said to have committed a crime right under the nose of Tiancang Sect.

The third location is in a building. Unlike Dongcheng District, the number of people coming and going here is not much less than that in the city center. Ying is also worried that taking action here like at the second location will cause unnecessary panic.

Fortunately, the location Ling Yue discovered was not inside these buildings.

She led Ying around those buildings and finally walked into a secluded alley.

Although the alley was dark and damp, it looked as if someone cleaned it regularly, and there was not much debris and garbage on the ground.

They walked along the alley until they came to the low house.

This house looked like a warehouse. The door was closed and there was a sign saying "No Trespassing" on it. However, Ling Yue naturally didn't care about that. She just pushed open the door of the warehouse.

The darkness that had been silent for a long time in the house was finally illuminated by light again.

The tentacles of darkness were like ice cubes touching a raging fire, and most of them melted in an instant. Unfortunately, darkness always found a place to hide, and they finally hid behind the walls and under the eaves. In this house with only one door, the light could never illuminate every corner.

The environment inside was very simple, with only a broken table, three chairs, and a bed next to it. There was a person lying on the bed. The face could not be seen clearly, but he seemed to be dead.
