The immortal body is called Teevat
Chapter 86 The murderer...has appeared
In the end, Wu Cheng remained silent, and Zhongli did not ask Wu Cheng any more questions. He had already known everything he wanted to know through the previous questions.
But in accordance with the fairness and relativity of the contract, Zhongli had to ask Wu Cheng so many questions, so it would be more appropriate for Wu Cheng to ask him a few questions.
Then Zhongli said to Wu Cheng: "I have asked all the questions I want to ask. Do you have any questions for me? My friend, except for the question about Him just now, I can answer them all for you."
Wu Cheng felt quite funny at this moment. Before he traveled through time, there had been rumors that Zhongli was a white-hair fan, because most of the rock-type people had white hair. Some people couldn't help but joke that the Rock God Zhongli was a white-hair fan and only gave the Eye of God to white hair.
Since Zhongli was standing right in front of him, Wu Cheng wondered why not ask Zhongli himself for confirmation. Could there be a more truthful answer than asking him in person?
Afterwards, Wu Cheng asked Zhongli his own question: "Mr. Zhongli, do you like people with white hair?"
Zhongli uttered a puzzled "hmm", which was rare, and then responded to Wu Cheng in a rather puzzled tone: "My friend, where did you hear the rumor that I like characters with white hair?"
Wu Cheng smiled awkwardly at Zhongli and said, "Well, when I was browsing Liyue recently, I occasionally heard passers-by say that most of the holders of the Geo Elemental God's Eye have white hair, so I felt that it might be related to Mr. Zhongli, the Geo God."
Finally, Zhongli explained to Wu Cheng in detail that you really don’t like people with white hair: “The distribution of the Eye of God is not related to the Seven Lords of the Earth. The Eye of God involves higher rules and a part of Him. So instead of saying that I like people with white hair, it’s better to guess whether He likes people with white hair. My friend, do you have anything else to ask?”
Wu Cheng simply shook his head because he really had no questions to ask Zhongli. After all, what he cared about most was Zhongli's attitude and the answer to this question.
The friendly conversation between Zhongli and him just now proved that he was absolutely safe in Liyue now. As long as he didn't seek death, he would never die. As for missionary Wu Cheng, he first ruled out the possibility of Liyue.
Because almost everyone in Liyue mainly believes in the Rock God Morax, his own Blood Moon Cult has no chance in Liyue. If he is not careful, he will be suppressed by the Seven Stars of Liyue as a cult.
The answer to this question is indeed the same as what Wu Cheng had guessed. After all, it is impossible that Zhongli, who has lived for more than 5000 years, is really obsessed with white hair.
Finally, Zhongli stretched out his arm and said calmly to Wu Cheng: "Since you are fine, there is no point in staying here. Hold my hand and I will take you back to Liyue."
City Lord Wu held Zhongli's hand tightly. The moment he held it tightly, he felt the scene in front of him change like a kaleidoscope of light. He was originally on the mountain top of Liyue, overlooking the distant mountains and forests, but now it had changed to the nameless alley in Liyue where they were just now.
Zhongli then advised Wu Cheng: "Since you already know my identity, don't mention my real identity to others. After all, I walk in the world as Zhongli to observe whether Liyue has the ability to deal with crises on its own. Just think of it as a contract between you and me."
Wu Cheng nodded to show that he agreed with Zhongli's words. After all, Zhongli had his own plans, so it would be better for him not to interfere.
After all, a person as powerful as Zhongli might be able to drink tea with you calmly one second, but the next second he might use thousands of rock spears to suppress you into ash. Wu Cheng didn't want to have his own private room in Guyun Pavilion. He chose to shut up.
After Wu Cheng returned to Liyue, Zhongli saw that Wu Cheng might not know the ways around Liyue, so he reluctantly served as a free tour guide for Wu Cheng. Under the guidance of Mr. Zhongli, Wu Cheng finally walked out of the alleys of Liyue.
Wu Cheng saw the bustling Liyue Night Market. Zhongli said to Wu Cheng, "Just now, you ran away when we met at the night market. I guess you were so nervous when you saw me. I guess you didn't enjoy the Liyue Night Market to your heart's content. Why don't you go shopping while it's still bustling?"
Wu Cheng nodded politely and responded, "Zhongli, thank you very much, Mr. Zhongli. I will continue to visit the scenery of Liyue Night Market. Will Mr. Zhongli accompany me?"
"No, my friend, please enjoy Liyue's night market culture. As a guest of the Hall of Rebirth, I should also fulfill my duties according to common sense. I will go back to the Hall of Rebirth to handle matters first. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the contract."
Before leaving, Zhongli gave Wu Cheng a few more words: "From now on, as long as you don't do evil in Liyue, Morax will no longer ask about your affairs in Liyue. Don't worry."
"If you have new experiences or things you don't understand during your travels, please come to the Hall of Rebirth to talk with me. I will definitely prepare a pot of good tea for you to chat with."
Finally, Zhongli turned his back and continued to walk away, until he used the sound transmission spell to convey the last words to Wu Cheng: "My friend, immortality is not a blessing, but the most vicious curse for any living being."
"Perhaps you don't understand now, well, time will prove everything. I hope you take care of yourself."
Wu Cheng heard Zhongli's advice, but he just heard it and didn't take it to heart, because for Wu Cheng, it would be a bit too hasty for him to mention the time now.
Wu Cheng also knew why Zhongli told him that immortality was the most vicious curse in the world. Because of immortality, you can live longer, but the people around you will die one by one. You can only watch the departure of the people you cherish, but you can do nothing about it.
The longer time goes by, the more people will pass away, and you will become more and more lonely in this world until your emotions reach a peak and collapse, and you even want to end your life but there is no way. After all, how can an immortal body be killed?
By then, perhaps we will understand the true meaning of immortality as a sinful curse. The so-called immortality is a blessing of hope for those without it and a curse of pain for those who have it...
But Wu Cheng felt that that should be a long, long time in the future. After all, the only ones he cared about now were his 11 brothers and sisters, so he could put the others aside for now.
According to Willy, after his brothers and sisters drank the blood of the Blood Demon, their lifespans should be extended a lot, at least by a few hundred years. And Wu Cheng didn't believe that he couldn't find a way to solve all of this during these few hundred years.
Wu Cheng thinks that it is better to enjoy the present life and complete the goals that one has set first. After all, if a person cannot enjoy the happiness of the moment, then life would be too boring.
Afterwards, Wu Cheng continued to visit the night market in Liyue and bought a lot of small toys made by mechanical arts that he was interested in. He put all these things into the storage space of the Eye of God until it could no longer fit.
After all, when my younger brothers and sisters wake up, I, as the eldest brother, also want to give them some gifts, right?
at the same time…
Liyue General Affairs Department Headquarters
Tianshu Xing, who was in his prime, was worried in the General Affairs Department. He was looking at the complicated clues on the chopping board regarding the recent Liyue dismemberment murder case. Although the clues were very complicated and numerous, they could not be connected together.
When he was a Tianshu Star, few people knew his real name. Perhaps it was to keep his work secret or for some other reason? The contemporary Tianshu Star rarely mentioned his real name, and people in the General Affairs Department mostly called him Tianshu because he was the oldest.
Although all the victims of the Liyue dismemberment case were members of the Liyue human trafficking criminal group, it can be said that the Liyue General Affairs Department has been wanted for them and wants to bring them to justice, but no action has been taken.
The deeper level is that the spies of the General Affairs Department have discovered that their human trafficking organization has close cooperation with Zhidong. They wanted to use the next trafficking of this human trafficking organization as bait to lure out the forces behind Zhidong.
Just when the General Affairs Department learned that they would be conducting a docking transaction with Yuzhidong in the near future, they were silenced at this time, which is very intriguing.
Could it be that Zhidong, the one behind the scenes, realized that Liyue was using them to fish, or was this a retaliatory killing, or did a new force intervene in this dispute?
Secondly, among all the big and small secrets in Liyue, such a cruel and bloody case is the greatest violation of the laws formulated by Liyue as a country of contract.
After all, although the more than ten people who died were evil, they should have been judged by law, rather than being subjected to such extremely bloody lynching. Therefore, solving this case also has great political significance.
Even Uncle Tian, who is the current Tianshu Star, shook his head after seeing this. Because according to the on-site investigation, this is not something that the Winter Fools could do. The Winter Fools simply killed him and destroyed all the evidence.
However, when the Qianyan Army was investigating, they discovered the account books of the human trafficking gang's transactions with Zhidong. The account books recorded the time, place, number and amount of each transaction in great detail, and there were many such records.
If it was really the work of the Fatui, then it would be impossible to find these account books. The people in Liyue General Affairs Department knew this very well. The Fatui would never leave such a big handle at the scene for Liyue to use.
Such cruel and bloody dismemberment of bodies would probably only be done by someone who truly has a grudge against the human trafficking gangs.
First of all, they suspected that the murderer might be the parents of the abducted child. For this reason, they also visited the families of the lost children in Liyue and questioned them one by one, but found that the possibility of revenge was also very small.
Because the parents of these children did not have the Eye of God, and generally did not know martial arts, facing a dozen vicious and desperate criminals, it was obviously not something they could handle.
The clues were cut off for a moment, and Uncle Tian had no choice but to send the ace commissioner Ye Lan from their General Affairs Department to investigate the matter.
Although Ye Lan has only been in the General Affairs Department for less than two years, she has been recognized by the Department for her meticulous observation and extremely strong case-handling ability.
After learning the detailed information from Tianshu, Ye Lan seemed to suddenly have a clue. He thought that he would be able to find out the truth in three days. He then requested to conduct the investigation alone and required the cooperation of many departments.
Uncle Tian naturally gave him the green light all the way, helping Ye Lan to obtain clues more efficiently and in a shorter time, thus improving the efficiency of solving the case.
And tonight is exactly the time when Ye Lan said to hand in the task. At this moment, Uncle Tian and other General Affairs Department specialists are having a headache looking at the extremely complicated clues and unclear lines.
At this moment, a blue figure slipped in through the window next to the General Affairs Department headquarters. Everyone was not alert at this time, because Ye Lan never went through the door but only through the window, and the movement was very small.
This has been Ye Lan's special habit as a commissioner of the General Affairs Department in the past two years. Even in daily life, he is practicing hiding quietly so that he can sneak in and obtain intelligence more easily during the execution of tasks.
Uncle Tian was very happy to see Ye Lan approaching him, because he knew that Ye Lan would not come to him if she was not absolutely sure.
Then Uncle Tian asked Ye Lan: "Ye Lan, you must have gained something by coming here. Have you made any progress in the case? Have you found anything?"
Ye Lan then nodded and stated to Uncle Tian: "After a few days of investigation, I have found some clues. I already have a rough guess about this matter in my mind."
Uncle Tian was also quite excited at this time. In the past three days, apart from asking Ye Lan to investigate the case unilaterally, he did not miss any other avenues of investigation and exploration.
He and other Liyue General Affairs Department personnel also entered the stage of intensive investigation. However, faced with the scattered clues they collected, they really couldn't make any sense and even made mistakes.
Afterwards, Uncle Tian said to Ye Lan with great joy: "Then please ask Miss Ye Lan to help us solve our doubts. You newcomers are still the best, while we old people are a little useless."
Ye Lan calmly took out the account book in her hand and said to Tian Shu: "Uncle Tian, you are in your prime now, still very young. I am just lucky. If I want to run the affairs of the General Affairs Department, I still have to rely on you. But before I explain, Uncle Tian, can you let me use the cutting board behind you to describe the whole case?"
Uncle Tian smiled and made way for Ye Lan, pointing to the chopping board and saying, "Of course. Everyone has been waiting for your conclusion. Ye Lan, please."
Then Ye Lan walked towards the chopping board, and she began to connect the unrelated clues bit by bit, and used what she had recorded in the account book to help him connect the clues until a very smooth logic and story was formed. Then Ye Lan told them the truth he had explored.
