Versatile Mage: Heavy Water Overwhelms the World

Chapter 23: One step ahead

Lucheng was as hot as ever in September. The scorching sun released its energy unbridled, making the entire Lucheng unbearably hot.

In the past, even on such a hot day, even half a month earlier, in the vicious August, Lucheng was still the peak tourist season!

Lunan Road is a tourist street specially built by Lucheng to attract tourists. At the same time, it is backed by several well-known magic schools, which attracts many people to come and have fun. This prosperous tourism industry contributes a significant amount of GDP to Lucheng every year!

But this situation has changed recently. Needless to say, the reason is the recent landslide incident that has caused heated discussions. Nanyi also did a lot of research before finding out the general situation of the landslide.

This collapse has been going on for nearly a month. The first place where the collapse occurred was a barbecue restaurant, and it happened just after six o'clock in the evening, during the peak evening meal period. The consequences can be imagined. In the end, three people were seriously injured and fifteen others were slightly injured. Fortunately, there was an intermediate water mage there to have dinner with his girlfriend. The girlfriend was also a water mage. The two reacted in time and blocked most of them with water magic. The rocks collapsed, but no one lost their lives.

Since it was the first landslide at that time, officials initially concluded that it was a natural landslide and did not attribute it to a magical event.

But within the next week, three landslides occurred in succession, mostly at night and in irregular locations, including hotels, shops and banks. This attracted official attention, and after the search yielded no results, a bounty mission was issued in the Hunter League.

At first, everyone didn't think it was true. After all, as a hunter, I always felt that I was better than the official in this regard. After many hunter teams tried and failed, they finally gave up their high self-esteem and paid the price of being slapped in the face for their arrogance.

The officials are also very anxious and continue to increase the reward. After all, every day of delay is a loss that you cannot afford to lose!

The bounty pool has also been increased by such successive attempts, reaching the current 2000 million!

In the following nearly a month, there was no solution, and as many as ten stores collapsed!

At this time, the two of them were walking around Lunan Road. Recently, due to the landslide, there have been fewer people on this road. Many shops have even closed their doors and stopped doing business. The bustling Lunan Road in the past has become deserted. few.

After all, no one dares to joke with their own lives. Even mages may not be able to guarantee their own safety. What's more, ordinary people don't have the self-protection ability of mages, so they worry about their own lives.

"Nanyi! There is earth magic energy left here!"

Nan Yi heard the sound and came over and saw that it was indeed the case.

"It's just as those hunters said, it was not a natural landslide." The Hunter Alliance is not only the place where the largest number of missions are handed over, but also the place where hunters exchange information. Although the authenticity of the information cannot be judged, it can also help Nan Yi and the two. Quickly understand the basic situation here on Lunan Road.

But no one has found out whether the landslide here was caused by humans or demons. After all, being in the safe world doesn't mean there are no monsters, there are always fish that slip through the net!

Nan Yi was also very confused about this, so the two of them were now searching for clues.

The two of them searched all morning, and the anomalies they found were not much different from what the hunters said. Presumably, the official reward has reached 2000 million and no one has solved it, which means that this matter is not based on the surface but the remaining clues. I can follow the clues and follow the clues. I heard that even high-level mages came to check but couldn't find out the reason.

,,,,,,

"This 2000 million is too difficult! I've been looking all morning, but there's nothing!" Chu Qingxuan complained while eating curry.

"It's not difficult for it to have been taken away by others a long time ago! Take your time."

"Is there something wrong with our thinking?" Chu Qingxuan asked.

"You won't be able to find any clues on Lunan Road now. I think we need to be one step ahead."

"Why are you one step ahead?" Chu Qingxuan was confused when she heard this.

"Since we can't find any valuable clues, why not go to the site to experience the landslide?"

"You are really not afraid of death! That's right! You turtle shell is really not afraid!" Chu Qingxuan said angrily.

"Everyone is confused here now, and they are all checking the results of the landslide. In this way, the clues will only become less and less as time goes by!"

"But if we experience it ourselves, maybe we can discover something from it?"

"It makes sense... Then where should we stay? It's impossible for you and I to just gamble on two families, right?"

"Of course that's not possible! There are hundreds of stores on Lunan Road, and you may not be able to bet on them until half of them collapse!"

"What should we do?"

"I have seen the distribution map of landslides this month. A total of ten stores collapsed this month. These ten stores are roughly clustered on the map at two-thirds of Lunan Road. That is this area."

Nan Yi took out his mobile phone, opened the map, and pointed to a certain area to Chu Qingxuan.

"Yes. According to your guess, the next landslide should be in this area! We just need to squat here!"

"That's the truth! I've seen the scene. There are two stores relatively close to these ten stores."

“So it’s still your family and mine!”

"That's true... but at least it's not a casual gamble!" Nan Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, then let's eat at these two stores these two days! Have you seen what store they are?"

"A fried chicken shop and a noodle shop."

"Not bad! Take turns eating!"

,,,,,,

As the night gets darker, the originally popular Lunan Road becomes even more deserted. Anyone who knows something about the situation knows that Lunan Road is the most dangerous at night!

On the road, I saw a few men and women holding selfie sticks, probably here to take pictures of adventure material.

Chu Qingxuan chose that fried chicken restaurant and planned to reward herself. Nan Yi went into the remaining noodle shop.

Walking into this small noodle shop, Nan Yi was the only customer.

"What do you want to eat, young man?"

"Large intestine noodles."

"Pack?"

"Dine."

"Dine?"

The landlady in front of her, whose face was covered with traces of time, looked at Nan Yi in surprise. In this recent situation, there are still people who dare to dine in. The proprietress was worried that Nan Yi didn't understand the situation, so she kindly reminded her.

"Young man! There have been landslides all over the place recently. For safety's sake, I suggest you pack it up. There will be no extra packing fee!"

Nan Yi was a little touched, but still said with a smile.

"It's okay, boss lady. I understand the situation here. I'm just here to investigate. But you, boss lady, are still running a store. All the stores near you have collapsed."

"The young man is a hunter, no wonder. Oh, who is not afraid? But having no money is even more terrifying. If you don't open a shop, it will be a day if you open a shop. If you open a shop for one more day, you might earn more!"

"Come on, young man, your noodles! If it tastes good, I can recommend your friends to come here when it's safe again! Get 20% off!"

Nan Yi smiled and took the noodles.

"Okay~Thank you, boss! Come back next time!"
