Festival of the King of Elves

id "con1036061">

Noon, Xiaobo Town.

It was originally just an ordinary coastal fishing village. Because of its coastal location, it developed its economy based on tourism, and gradually upgraded to a town with thousands of households. If migrant workers are also included, the small town The town has a population of nearly 10.

At the entrance of the town's commercial pedestrian street, Haitong and others were walking, and this time there was an extra guide.

Haitong looked around and saw that the shops and stalls on both sides of the street were deserted. There were only a few tourists, but they were also walking in a hurry towards the outside of the town. If you look carefully, you can see the disappointment on their faces. .

The current guide for the four of them is a young man with a round face and many freckles. His complexion is dark and rough, which is obviously caused by living at the beach all year round. However, because there is no shortage of seafood, his body is quite strong and relatively strong. The well-developed pittosporum is one finger taller.

The brown-haired, round-faced boy with freckles is named Mo Casey. When he was first introduced to them to brief them on this mission, the introducer also said that this name was given to the child because the boy's parents particularly liked an elf like Casey. , which made the boy blush. He obviously didn't like his name being used as a joke.

At this time, Casey's face was a little gloomy and he said: "The situation is the same as what everyone has seen. Originally, in June of previous years, there should have been more and more tourists, but now no one comes. I heard that on the Internet There are also a lot of people saying bad things about us here.”

"Don't worry, we will definitely try our best to help find out the cause." Xiao Xiang comforted the local boy and looked at Haitong at the same time.

At this time, Haitong was thinking about what happened before and didn't notice.

Not long ago, Xiao Xiang drove them to a coastal town with the same name in the Hezhong area. After that, he immediately found the local police station to learn about the situation.

But something was not right about the situation at that time. Haitong noticed that some people were looking at them frequently, and some were dodging. It was clear that they were here to help solve the problem, but none of these people seemed very enthusiastic.

Even in the end, no official police officer or Junsha came to explain the situation to them. Instead, they randomly sent this young auxiliary police officer who was still in the internship period to take them to understand the seawater pollution incident in the town.

I was outside the police station and walking towards the commercial street.

"I don't know why, but this place reminds me of Huatian Town." Haitong recalled the people in the police station.

"It's not necessarily exactly the same." Xiao Xiang shook his head and explained from his perspective: "We are now officially incorporated as bounty trainers. To a certain extent, we can be regarded as the alliance's police system. Non-staff forces, in fact, one of the major obstacles to this matter comes from the Junsha family and the police system. After all, our appearance has proved from the side that the police force of our Jiuzhou Alliance is problematic. They cannot fully guarantee the stable life of the people. As a result, we have to seek help from private trainers.”

Haitong nodded after hearing this, feeling that this sentence made sense.

Qingyue Suzune was also very curious about what happened in Huatian Town. Just hearing about it in the newspaper was not enough to satisfy her curiosity. At this time, she asked: "Is this the same in Huatian Town? You also wanted to help at the time, but in the end Junsha and the police didn’t appreciate it.”

Xiaolan, one of the parties involved, also said at this time: "Huatian Town was also very deserted at that time, but there were still more tourists than here."

Casey listened to this. It was said that he was a stranger who came to help solve the problem, chatting about some things outside the small town. He also led the way while listening to these new things curiously.

Haitong casually mentioned some situations in Huatian Town without saying much, and then asked Casey to start detailing what he learned.

"Actually, this problem has already occurred very early. I remember that it was probably last autumn, not long after the summer tourist wave passed. There were some rumors in the town that there was some peculiar smell at night on the beach. However, At that time, only some people living near the seaside were talking about it, and no one paid much attention."

Casey frowned. It would be a bad thing for anyone who lives here if this kind of thing happens to the town's tourism industry.

"In winter, the situation seems to be less serious, and the strange smell comes and goes. Until spring, when the weather warms up, the strange smell wafting from the seaside becomes stronger and stronger. As summer comes, the weather becomes more and more intense. As the weather gets hotter, the smell gets stronger and stronger. Now just standing on the beach feels like standing in a garbage dump, let alone playing in the water. Many people living on the beach can no longer stand it and have moved away one after another. "

After other people heard this, their first reaction was that it was a problem of sea water pollution.

"However, the fluidity of seawater means that unless it is garbage that has been accumulated for a long time, it will produce these odors. It does not sound like normal seawater pollution."

"Of course. If it were a normal incident, the town government of this small town would not entrust the issue to Ya."

With that said, several people had already crossed the commercial street and arrived at the beach not far away.

Before stepping on the fine sand, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with their hands.

There is indeed a peculiar smell drifting from the seaside. It can be clearly smelled hundreds of meters away, and the smell is so strange that it is unbearable.

Casey was prepared and took out several masks to distribute to everyone.

After Haitong took one of them and brought it up, he felt better, but as he walked into the beach, a small part of the smell still penetrated the filter layer of the mask. He could only suppress his nausea and continue to check the situation here. .

At this time, Xiao Xiang made a gesture and pointed his hands to both sides, asking everyone to disperse.

"Miss Suzune, let me take you there to take a look." At this time, Casey took the initiative to face the silver-haired girl who was the most beautiful in his opinion, without being able to hide his obvious intention.

Qingyue Suzune originally wanted to decline politely, but she glanced at the black-haired boy intentionally or unintentionally, only to find that the other person didn't care about her situation at all. She didn't know why she was a little angry, so she simply nodded and walked to the right with Casey. Go check out the situation.

Haitong has now entered working mode, and first looked around the entire beach landscape.

This is an L-shaped beach with a total length of more than 800 meters. He walked along the seaside to the long northern end.

The tide on the beach keeps coming in waves during this June season.

Haitong looked at the water at the seaside. The color was not that blue, but turned into a kind of blue-black. One can imagine how serious the pollution is.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked farther away. He saw that a few hundred meters away, the sea surface was just a little bit blue.

In this case, he did not release any of his elves.

Haitong also discovered another situation, or it was an expected necessity, that is, there was no movement of any elf at all.

He turned around and found no clues other than witnessing that the water here became strange.

After walking back to the coast, other people also walked around for a circle or half a circle, and then left the beach almost as if they were relieved.

Xiao Xiang was the first to say: "What do you think or think about now?"

Casey just took Qingyue Suzuyin around half a circle, talking to the other party non-stop on the way, but only received some polite answers, and did not get any enthusiastic response. At this time, he wanted to express himself even more, because in childhood In the town, he really had never seen a girl as stunning and beautiful as Suzuyin, so he immediately continued: "Our police station has already tried to investigate, and even dived into the bottom of the sea."

"What's going on at the bottom of the sea?" Xiang Xiang asked immediately.

"The situation is very bad." Casey recalled for a while and continued: "The elves nearby have already left, and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the water have also died a lot. They said that there are some toxic chemicals that have polluted the area. ocean."

Everyone nodded and listened to the description, which seemed to make sense.

Xiao Xiang continued to ask: "Then have you discovered how these toxic substances appeared? Did they come from other places, or did they flow out of the town?"

Casey looked a little embarrassed at this time, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Only senior police officers can review the subsequent investigation results."

Xiao Xiang wanted to ask something else. He noticed that the black-haired young man glanced at him, so he stopped asking and said to everyone: "We also looked at the situation at the beach. Then everyone split up and went to the nearby area where people had not yet moved. Ask the residents to find out what they know. Haitong and I will act together, and the three of you will act together, no problem, right?"

Of course, Casey was happy to be accompanied by two young and beautiful girls. Qingyue Suzune had no objections. Xiaolan was not willing, but seeing Kaitong gently nodding towards her, she could only agree.

With this separation, Xiao Xiang and Haitong no longer have to worry about anything. After all, Casey was here just now.

"This is not quite right. In terms of police force, this town has a population of almost 10, but we only saw about thirty people at the police station. If you include those on patrol, the ratio of police force to town population is really low. , it’s no wonder that there aren’t enough manpower for this matter, but the current situation, as far as the operation of concealing information from us, I think is not just caused by the inherent competitive and contradictory relationship between the bounty trainers and the police.”

Pittosporum and Xiang Xiang walked slowly along the road beside the beach, trying to stay away from the smelly beach, and at the same time began to discuss their findings.

"Your judgment makes sense. I actually think that when the anomaly has lasted for so long and has seriously affected the local tourism industry, the police station's attitude towards external support is not consistent with common sense." Xiao Xiang Now I agree with the black-haired boy.

"Before accepting missions in the future, you should first go to the local area to try to understand the situation before making a decision. Otherwise, if you encounter this situation again, it will be very uncomfortable to have your reputation points deducted." Haitong began to complain about the alliance's official "updated" bounty mission system. system.

"That's right. Although if we don't accept the mission, the other party won't be able to find out if we accept the mission, so they may not be too cooperative. But at least we can investigate some situations privately before deciding whether to accept the mission." Xiao Xiang thought about what if the mission was not available After finishing, the credit points to be deducted are also speechless.

In order to ensure that trainers do not accept tasks randomly, the alliance bounty task system is another system used for assessment. Things like reputation points will be obtained if you complete the task, and will be deducted if you fail.

But this time, since it was their first mission, they encountered someone who was uncooperative, and they were obviously the recipients of the mission. Both of them were smart enough to immediately take note of this, so that they would not do it easily next time. Step into the trap.

"It is better to ask the local residents first. I think it may be the same as in Huatian Town. Maybe some people or forces in the town have interests. At least there should be a high probability that some people may know the true cause of seawater pollution. Reason, but the news was suppressed, at least from the abnormal reaction of the police station, we must consider this possibility."

"There is no way. This is adult society, and it is also some of the situations you must face after staying in school for eight years."

Xiao Xiang sighed. Even if he is a young man over 25 years old, he still feels disgusted and helpless when faced with people and things like this that disregard collective interests for personal gain.

Haitong was not as pessimistic as he was, and said half-jokingly: "This is nothing. Since we have encountered each other, we must help the local residents. It is also for our own mission. Although there is only a mission bonus of 8000 alliance coins, But it’s not bad. As long as we find out who did it, we will try to expose it to the Internet and the media. If that doesn’t work, we will directly spread the inside story in the town. Even if we can’t get rid of the culprit, we will make him shameless in this place. Go down."

Xiao Xiang smiled and didn't know what to say. He said that the other party was naive and childish, but he really envied this childishness that was willing to "do justice."

Next, the two of them began to knock on doors and visit the houses along the beach, asking for news.

At this time, another group of people, Haitong and their "competitors" also came here.

There was a blue stretched sports car, and in the driver's seat was a young man with millet hair and a shawl. He was wearing sunglasses, a diamond-encrusted watch on his right wrist, and a diamond chain around his neck. He seemed to be dressed to impress with his wealth.

On the other five seats, there are five beautiful girls of different looks, including girls and more mature young girls. There is also a person in the passenger seat, and there is a girl wearing a dress that is usually only seen in TV movies. Blonde girl getting black and white maid outfit.

Before he even got out of the car, someone came to greet him at the door of the police station.

Among the people inside the police station, one of the new police officers curiously asked the old man next to him.

"How come we, the police chief, personally greeted that person?"

"It's amazing. That man's family is very rich anyway. Do you know about the evolution stone?"

"Bullshit Elf Evolution Stone, who doesn't know about it?"

"That's alright. Anyone who has a vein of evolutionary stones will just sit around and wait for money to drop from the sky every day. This man's family has a mountain top, and there is a vein that can mine evolutionary stones. If nothing else, it's... rich"

The veteran veteran was indeed well-informed. After hearing this, the young police officer looked at the shawl-haired boy surrounded by five beautiful girls of different looks, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
