Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 445 Mine Disaster (Part 5)

Or rather, the actions within the mining area were merely a smokescreen to deceive others.

Moreover, the fact that they acted so discreetly here, creating a mining disaster by luring the ferocious beast "Iron-Eating Rat," proves that they didn't actually want anyone to know about it.

Or perhaps what they truly want to accomplish is something that cannot be done in the open, so this is the only way they can do it.

This was an action that no one else would have found flawed.

That is, Han Yi, who had been in contact with the Green Robe Alliance, plus his abnormally powerful and indescribable ability to identify toxins.

The Pure Lotus Body granted him a powerful sense of smell, but it also exposed him to thousands of different toxins. This allowed him to immediately detect the characteristics of toxins in fragrances and quickly locate similar sources by combining them with his previous memories.

Only then can we discover some shady dealings in the Green Clothes Alliance's actions.

Even after Han Yi discovered that the Green-Clad Alliance was behind it all, he still didn't have a good way to deal with it.

He wasn't strong enough to just go and cause trouble for the Green Robe Alliance.

He reported it to the sect and asked Jing Tian Manor to handle it, but he didn't have enough evidence. A mere whiff of smell wasn't enough to convince anyone.

The most he could do was report the situation to his master, Zhong Yunxiu, and strengthen security in the mining area to prevent such incidents from happening again.

'My own strength is still too weak...'

He sighed inwardly.

"Master Han, we've confirmed that the monsters in the mining area have been cleared out." Qu Qiao was standing next to Han Yi at this moment, reporting cautiously.

After arranging for his men to inspect the mining area, he immediately came to Han Yi's side to report the situation.

Han Yi's punch just now really scared him.

He truly hadn't expected that Han Yi, who was usually all smiles and seemed so easy to talk to, would have such a side to him...

Fortunately, I've always been quite respectful...

He felt a sense of relief deep down.

"Okay, it's alright now, let's go." Han Yi nodded, suppressing his doubts, and slowly led the team out of the mining area.

At this moment, Qu Qiao and his group of men, carrying a large number of iron-eating rat corpses, stood with their backs exceptionally straight.

Many miners who received the news gathered at the entrance of the mine early in the morning, their faces showing a mixture of excitement and fear.

In the distance, faint cries could still be heard; they belonged to the families of the miners who had perished. Looking into the distance, Han Yi saw plumes of white smoke rising from several areas between the mines, all from the burning of paper money and firewood in ceremonies to commemorate the dead.

Although he quickly resolved the mining accident, the initial collapse inside the mine, especially the mine shaft used as a rest area for miners, coupled with the chaos and casualties caused by the iron-eating rats, still contributed to the disaster.

In total, twenty or thirty miners died.

Among the crowd were many relatives of the miners who had died in the accident. When they saw the culprit appear, they became agitated and vented their anger on the carcass of the iron-eating rat.

Han Yi didn't care about this trivial matter. Regardless of the truth of the matter, the iron-eating rats had been eliminated. At least morale was stabilized, and many industries in the mining area could return to normal in a short time.

After everyone had calmed down, he coughed a few times and glanced at Qu Qiao.

Qu Qiao was a slick man; he could tell what Qu Qiao meant with just a glance. Qu Qiao immediately started shouting and yelling to restore order, revealing his sycophantic behavior.

At this moment, Han Yi stepped forward and issued several orders at the same time.

The main points are: increase the compensation and benefits for the dead and injured, ensure that the compensation is paid by designated personnel, and impose the death penalty on anyone who dares to embezzle or misappropriate the funds.

Furthermore, the miners who were frightened can also register at the Lotus Hall to apply for compensation. If similar incidents occur again in the future, those who perform outstandingly will be rewarded handsomely.

Finally, there was the cleanup work. He arranged for people to seal off and reinforce the collapsed mine shafts in the middle of the mining area to prevent secondary collapses.

Meanwhile, another mine shaft was opened up in another area of ​​the mining area to serve as a temporary transit station and rest place.

As for the deceased miners' supervisor, based on everyone's usual performance, he selected several outstanding individuals to serve as supervisors again. In short, it boils down to this: reward those who deserve it, punish those who deserve it; rewards and punishments are clearly defined.

Han Yi's series of combined attacks instantly swept away the low spirits of everyone in the mining area caused by the deaths and injuries.

Afterwards, he called over the three main hall masters, Qu Qiao, Zhu Haishan, and Luo Meiwei, for a short meeting and asked them some questions.

It's actually about the truth behind the mining disaster.

For example, if there are any suspicious persons in the mining area recently, or if any rare minerals have been discovered inside the mine, and so on.

Han Yi wanted to see if he could discover any clues about the Green-Clad Alliance from these everyday trifles.

As expected, there were no results.

Han Yi thought this was normal. He hadn't noticed anything unusual recently, let alone his three subordinates.

He could only wave his hand, telling the three of them to handle the aftermath. Seeing that the matter was almost resolved, he slowly got up and walked towards the Inspector's Office.

.....

.....

Moonlit night.

The dark woodland was covered with branches and leaves that were half yellow and half green. A cold wind howled through the dark forest, and wolves howled.

A blurry black figure slowly moved forward through the forest among the trees.

The shadowy figure was dressed in a black robe and wore a black hood, completely shrouded in darkness, its face unseen, almost blending into the night.

"You've gone too far this time!" Suddenly, as if a piece of bark had been ripped off a tall tree branch, a person in green appeared out of thin air, his voice cold and sharp.

"If we don't do this, how can we balance the books and make up for this quarter's transactions?" The man in black paused, his voice rough and cold, like that of a strong man.

"The main problem is that you need it so urgently this time. There's no other way!" he added.

"..." Green Shadow fell silent.

"This is just a transaction, just a transaction..." the green-clad man's sharp voice rang out. "The principle of a transaction is that both parties must be satisfied. In short, I am not satisfied with this transaction."

"If you're not satisfied, that's your problem. I'm only responsible for completing the transaction. What does your dissatisfaction have to do with me?" the man in black said coldly. "You should also know that you and I are just the most insignificant links in the transaction. The real mastermind behind the transaction is not me."

If you have any complaints about me, you are welcome to give feedback to your superior and have me replaced.

The green figure in the tree fell silent again.
