Chapter 21: The World is Poisonous
"Purple Venom?"
A middle-aged man with gray hair and gold-rimmed glasses asked Fang Qi nervously.
This person is Lao Ju of the Evidence Department, who is in his 70s this year, but because of his long-term cultivation of spiritual power, he looks no different from a person in his 50s.
Because everyone cultivates, in this world, there is no strict retirement age, and only if you feel that your physical conditions are not up to it, you will apply for retirement.
"Yes," Fang Qi nodded, and then described, "Purple, it smokes when it touches something, and the smoke is also purple, and even the steel plate can instantly corrode into a big hole!"
"Oh...... Isn't it ......" Old Ju didn't dare to look at Fang Qi squarely, he just lowered his head and asked weakly, "There is a fishy smell, is it the fishy smell on the sea?"
"Yes, yes, yes......" Fang Qi nodded quickly, "It's that smell, so you know what kind of poison this is?"
"Well......" Lao Ju said, "Inspector, if I guess correctly, this venom you are talking about should be the most poisonous water poison in the world!"
Water poison?
Fang Qi looked for his memory, not to mention, he really had a little impression of water poison.
He knew that this poison was the most poisonous thing in the world, and it was so powerful that it had even destroyed a race.
"Have you forgotten?" Old Ju sighed, "170 years ago, our Dongyuan City in the Holy Light Continent was attacked by water poison, and 30,000 people died!?"
Dongyuan City ......
Fang Qi had heard of this city, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"In 30 years, not a single inch of grass will grow!" Lao Ju said, "The water poison has invaded the underground and has not been cleared up so far, so Dongyuan City is still an empty city!"
Oh......
As soon as Lao Ju said this, Fang Qi really found the relevant memory, and sure enough, as he said, because the ancient buildings are still there, people prefer to call the empty city a dead city.
"Old Ju," Fang Qi asked curiously, "Then do you know where this water poison came from, and who created it?"
"Inspector, you...... Are you testing me?" said Lao Ju, wiping his sweat, "You should know that the water poison was invented by the Shui people?"
Yes, yes, this morning, when Fang Qi searched on the Internet, he had found out that the water poison was indeed invented by the water tribesmen.
It seems that the race that was destroyed by the water poison is also the water tribe.
"You tell me more about it," Fang Qi lied about, "I didn't test you, I really can't remember clearly!"
"Well, the Shui people have always been a distant and mysterious place, and there are many discrepancies in the information we have recorded here. Lao Ju said, "Some historical records record that the Shui people disappeared 1,000 years ago, and some say 2,000 years, or even earlier!"
"Are they exterminated because of their research on water poison?" Fang Qi asked, "Because of the water poison they researched?"
"Perhaps, right?" said the old ju, conservatively, "or maybe, there is another reason!
"Listen to my teacher, the water tribe people turned out to be the most powerful race in the entire ten-colored sea, they have the source power of the sea, they can drive the water and drive the waves, no one is invincible!"
"Wouldn't it?" Fang Qi wondered, "It's so powerful, why did it perish?"
The reason is that although they are powerful, they are weak and insecure. Lao Ju introduced, "Therefore, they like to study the art of poison creation the most, and in the end, until they reach the point where they can't control it, they are destroyed by what they invented!"
"I'll go," Fang Qi grinned, "It's really self-inflicted! Without a strong heart, even if you have great power, it's in vain!"
"Detective, these are just legends," Lao Ju said sternly, "after all, whether it is time or location, it is too far away from us!"
"I heard from my teacher that the sea area where the Shui people live has traveled 30,000 kilometers northeast of our Holy Light Continent, and few or no people have ever been there.
"I heard that because of the poison of the water, the sea of the Shui people has been completely infected, and it has become a sea of poison, and the sea is full of miasma that kills when you smell it, and you can't get close at all!
"As a result, we have received very little information about the Shui people throughout the ages......
"Alright, alright!" Fang Qi waved his hand and said, "Then let's be serious, let me ask you, is water poison common in our place? Is there anyone who can get water poison?"
"No, won't it?" said Lao Ju with a frown, "I have lived for more than 70 years, and I have never seen water poison with my own eyes!"
"......" Fang Qi was speechless, wondering in his heart, was it not the water poison that he had last night?
"If you want to get water poison, you must first be able to get close to the sea area of the water tribes...... "Lao Ju said, "a drop of water poison can kill hundreds of people, the poisonous water contains strong corrosiveness, and the poisonous gas cannot be smelled, and it is impossible for ordinary people to reach that sea area alive!"
"What happened to Dongyuan City?" Fang Qi asked, "Isn't it also that someone has poisoned the water?"
"That's war!" Lao Ju said, "At that time, Dongyuan City was fighting with the dwarves of the Dry Eating Clan, and the water poison that destroyed Dongyuan City should have been obtained by the dwarves!"
"So, we don't have a good relationship with the dwarfs right now......"
Eaters?
What is this term?
Searching for his memories, Fang Qi quickly got the relevant information.
It turned out that in the northeast of the Holy Light Continent, there was still a race, and because of the cunning nature and narrow-mindedness of this race, the Holy Light people gave them a derogatory name, called the Dry Eater.
Meaning, they have to worry about even a dead branch.
And because they are generally short, they are also called short.
In fact, the so-called dry eating clan refers to the wood clan, and what they cultivate is the green wood spiritual power.
170 years ago, due to trade and diplomatic issues, the Shikushi Clan had a skirmish with the Holy Light Clan, and Dongyuan City was the main battlefield at that time.
Therefore, people naturally believe that the poisoning tragedy in Dongyuan City was planned and carried out by these dwarves.
Because, the continent they live on is closer to the sea area of the water tribes, and they have a better chance of obtaining water poison.
"Inspector General," Lao Ju asked timidly, "You are so interested in water poison, is it because there is a case related to water poison?"
"If it is, then we must pay attention to it, the disaster 170 years ago can't happen in our Whale City!"
"I didn't ...... It's okay, just ask casually, ask casually......" Fang Qi said on his lips, but he was pondering in his heart, a drop of water poison can poison hundreds of people!
So...... The puddle I vomited yesterday wasn't enough for me to die thousands of times?
Why, if I get poisoned by water, will I be fine?
Also, water poison is so difficult to deal with, who poisoned me?
"Hmm......" Fang Qi thought for a while, and then asked Lao Ju, "If someone is poisoned by water and doesn't die, is it possible?"
As he spoke, Fang Qi gestured a circle with his fingers, which meant that he had been hit by such a big puddle of water poison.
"This ......," said the old man with a sweat in his head, "you have asked me, I think, if it is like ...... Hmmm......"
As he spoke, Lao Ju saw the portrait on the wall at a glance, and hurriedly pointed to the portrait and said, "If you are like a person like the Eight Great Masters, maybe you can not die!?"
