Chapter 252: Radiation? Field?
While the people were frightened, people began to die in the village.
Grave robbers' neighbors, infirm paralytics, children and the elderly......
As more and more people died, the villagers became more and more convinced of the fact that the red-clothed female ghost was asking for her life.
They managed to find the grave of the female ghost in red and returned the bead.
But it didn't quite work.
The villagers continued to die intermittently, but the interval between the dead became longer.
Everyone said that this was the anger of the female ghost in red, which had not been quelled.
At that time, the villagers did not seek help from the government.
However, the government is also helpless about this.
Eventually, the village decided to relocate and leave the ancestral land.
In this way, you won't be asked for your life by the female ghost in red!
When I first left the ancestral land, people still died one after another.
But after a while, Jober noticed that the dead man had stopped.
Although they stopped, the villagers did not dare to go back to Danhe Village at will, so they wandered around.
After hearing about the affairs of this village, Li Shimin's face was grim.
He doesn't believe in the legends of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
So, after Jober had finished telling the story, he said angrily:
"This must be a mad guy who is killing people like crazy! At the same time, use the ghost thing as a cover!"
Hearing this, Qin Fan was stunned.
"Not really, right?"
Qiao Bo on the side also shook his head and said:
"Master, you don't know! If this is really man-made murder, then our village should have discovered it a long time ago."
"But so many people died, but most of them died of bleeding from the Seven Orifices, and none of them had obvious scars or other marks on their bodies!"
Hearing this, Qin Fan nodded: "If it is really a man-made killing, it is indeed a little difficult."
Li Shimin still did not give up: "Anyway, it is too ridiculous to say that ghosts are haunting, if they are all bloodied and died violently, is it caused by someone poisoning?"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he shook his head again.
If it was poisoning, such a violent reaction, the dead should have died one by one.
Instead of a dead man like Danhe Village, who died without rules!
However, Qin Fan was stunned.
"Poison?"
"Poisoned?"
"It could indeed be poisoning!"
Qin Fan's words attracted the attention of several people back.
"Brother Qin, why do you judge like this? Is there really someone who poisoned it?" Li Shimin asked.
In fact, in the old village chief's account just now, although he suspected that someone had poisoned him, he finally overthrew himself.
"No! Maybe it wasn't someone who poisoned it, but inadvertently brought it back to the village."
Hearing this, Li Shimin spoke, "That tomb robber and that night pearl?"
Qin Fan nodded and said, "Not bad!"
Then he asked Li Shimin:
"Since you know a lot about alchemy, you must know a kind of stone that emits fluorescence on the surface!"
The reason why Qin Fan asked this question was because in order to expand the production of minerals, he had communicated with Li Shimin when refining gunpowder.
After Li Shimin heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment.
Indeed, not long after he ascended the throne, a priest sent a strange stone that emitted green light.
He was overjoyed, so he put this green stone in the imperial study.
Seeing Li Shimin's contemplative expression, Qin Fan said directly:
"Since you've seen that kind of stone, and now you're standing in front of me, it proves that you haven't been in contact with that stone for long!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded: "I once got it, but after playing it for a few days, I gave it to others."
Actually, it is the reward that is given to meritorious service
people.
"Did the person who received the gift die quickly?"
Qin Fan asked.
Li Shimin was silent for a while, and then responded, "Yes!"
"This is poison!" Qin Fan said firmly.
But Li Shimin couldn't believe it:
"If it's poison, why am I safe now?"
"Because you've not been in contact long enough, and you're not close enough."
Qin Fan explained as he spoke:
"That poison, also known as radiation."
"Radiation?" Li Shimin was very confused.
"You can think of it as a kind of field. Anyone who comes close to these fluorescent stones will enter this field."
"And the closer you are, the deeper the poison, and the longer you stay in the field, the deeper the poison."
Hearing Qin Fan's words, Qiao Bo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat:
"Master, are you saying that the pearl of the night is the truth about the continuous death of people in my Danhe Village?"
Qin Fan nodded: "Not bad!"
But Qiao Bo retorted, "Then why are there still dead people in the village after the night pearl is sent back to the tomb?"
Hearing this, Qin Fan said lightly: "There are two possibilities."
Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Which two?"
Qin Fan opened his mouth and said, "First, near the field near the Pearl that night, there were other substances that were relatively good at absorbing radiation."
"And although the Night Pearl was taken away, the stone near the Night Pearl became a new source of radioactivity."
Li Shimin understood: "You mean, that night pearl created a new source of poison?"
Qin Fan nodded, and then continued to speak:
"The second possibility is that in addition to the Night Pearl, there are other things with radiation in the tomb that have been left unattended; Or maybe the person who returned the Night Pearl became greedy and hid the Night Pearl not far from the village."
"In this way, the dead will not stop."
"It's easy to discern which one is why."
As he spoke, Qin Fan turned his gaze to the village chief Qiao Bo.
"Joe, dare to ask the person who returned to the Night Pearl, is he still alive?"
Hearing this, Qiao Bo left a cold sweat: "He...... Gone!"
"Everyone thought he was taken away by the wrath of the female ghost."
"Could it be that it is this person who has caused the situation that there are still people dying after returning the Night Pearl?"
Qin Fan nodded: "I think it's probably like this!"
"It's easy to verify, just go to your village and see."
Hearing this, the village chief Qiao Bo was shocked:
"Gentlemen! The reason why Xiao Lao'er was reluctant to elaborate on this matter before."
"I'm worried that the old man's curiosity will be troubled, and I want to go to our Danhe Village to have a look, but I met a female ghost and asked for my life, and I died in Huangquan."
"In this way, it is the sin of our Danhe Village!"
Qin Fan shook his head and said:
"It's not a female ghost asking for a life, it's a field carried by a radiated substance."
Jober still wants to stop:
"Whether it's a female ghost or a field!"
"Master, didn't you die in vain when you went to our village?"
Qin Fan shook his head and said, "Leaving such a thing here is the one who harms more people!"
You know, many creatures will mutate under that kind of radiation!
