My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit
Chapter 519 - 349: Detective Xediles_2
And now that the whole world is filled with Evil Ghosts, suddenly finding only two Evil Ghosts on a street makes it seem like there’s nothing to fear anymore.
After all, the world is already like this.
The Little Witch seemed to think this way, following behind Xue Dili.
The two once again arrived at the entrance of the refuge through the Teleportation Gate. Under Xue Dili’s Space Slash, the door opened easily, revealing the scene inside the refuge, covered with black liquid.
Similarly, there were no remains, and humanity as a whole doesn’t know what they suffered here. The thick black liquid almost covered the soles of their shoes, making a sticky "squelch" sound as they entered the refuge.
Even more than just the floor, the walls, the ceiling, everything bore such traces, as if uniformly smeared over every surface, evolving over a long period into this scene.
What kind of disaster did this world encounter?
Xue Dili didn’t understand, but he was determined to find the answer.
The three types of vision kept switching; at this moment, the ordinary vision and the Divine Purification Demon Eye’s vision looked nearly identical, both showing a mass of thick black liquid, except that in the Ghost Eye’s vision, the black liquid appeared to be... oil?
Xue Dili could only describe it with that word—a ground covered with dirty oil and a mechanical room full of various odd components and configurations, all abandoned now.
In the view of the Ghost Eye, it looked like a large abandoned mechanical room and storeroom inside, indeed filled with the materials they mentioned.
But Xue Dili wasn’t here to find these materials shown in the Ghost Eye’s view; he was here to look at the traces and information left behind.
"It seems this place once sheltered a lot of people. Let me see, after the disaster, people from nearby mostly ran here, and because it’s near the city hall, most of the people who came were high officials and their families," Xue Dili began analyzing the scene based on the location.
The Little Witch was stunned beside him; she couldn’t imagine how Xue Dili discovered traces and deduced the situation from a place flooded with sticky black liquid.
Though over time she deeply realized she was useless, wasn’t this too outrageous? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Xue Dili pointed at the area, then said, "Because this area has fewer traces, indicating low population density, but the other places have two to three times the thickness of black liquid compared to here, so it can be roughly judged that this small area was where some high officials and bodyguards were."
"Can you really deduce so much just from thinner thickness here?" The Little Witch instantly showed a disbelieving expression, her face all innocent.
Innocent like a child who could talk to a snow leopard.
Xue Dili pointed at a map, calmly saying, "Because it’s the city hall building on the opposite side, a bold assumption is all that’s needed, without overthinking it."
The Little Witch was bewildered by Xue Dili’s response for a while, but she just followed behind him, continuously observing the surrounding traces, yet couldn’t find much information after all.
The interior of the refuge was full of such things; how was analysis even possible? Could it be this guy was just guessing wildly?
"There seems to have been a riot, everyone wanted to attack the city hall officials and their families, but were stopped by bodyguards, and during this riot, everyone suddenly died, seemingly from an internal explosion?" Xue Dili continued.
Little Witch: "???"
Not again, how are you getting this information? Doesn’t this make me look dumb? And how can you tell? Why would ordinary people attack officials, and why would they explode from the inside out?
"Explaining it to you is pointless," Xue Dili said, but still simply told her why he came to this conclusion, "Firstly, the entire walls and even the ceiling are covered in this liquid, and upon checking, it matches the distribution pattern of an explosion spatter."
"Then why couldn’t it be a bomb detonated inside causing this?" The Little Witch immediately raised her hand.
Xue Dili immediately gave her a look as if looking at Little Dragon Lady, making the girl retract her extended hand immediately.
"If it were an external explosive, there should be a blast center, but do you think there’s a blast center here?" Xue Dili’s tone was calm, but the Little Witch shrugged her neck further.
She looked around, right, there wasn’t any sign of a blast center.
"As for why I said a riot occurred..." Xue Dili walked to the back wall of the area, pointing at marks on it, "traces of being hit by hard objects."
Little Witch: "..."
Xue Dili used the Divine Purification Demon Eye to look at her and questioned, "How did you manage to see nothing with such a handy eye? Using it merely as a scanner should place you among the best, right?"
"Stop scolding... stop scolding... I’m Fei Wu, just call me Fei Wu Susu or Fei Wu Witch from now on... I really didn’t see anything..." She was holding her head, looking utterly desolate.
Why does the Divine Purification Demon Eye have a completely different effect in Xue Dili’s hands, while in her hands, other than seeing Evil Ghosts, it isn’t much different from Xue Dili’s ordinary eye?
