Chapter 310 This Liu Xuewei still hasn't given up.
"Should we continue the investigation? Where should we start?" Mo Yu asked, looking at everyone.
"How can we investigate? The villagers simply won't cooperate with us, nor will they tell us the truth. Even if we wanted to investigate, we wouldn't know where to begin!"
Wen Luoya raised an eyebrow at Mo Yu, who sighed. Suddenly, everyone was at a loss.
"How about we look for the couple's remains first?" Si Nansheng muttered, stuffing a pastry into her mouth.
In an instant, everyone looked at her, and she involuntarily leaned back.
"Did I... say something wrong?" Si Nansheng looked at them innocently.
“That’s true, but does anyone know where their remains are?” Meng Feifei asked directly.
Once again, a deafening silence ensued.
Si Nansheng, the only one who knew, didn't speak. She knew very well that if she dared to say she knew now, people would definitely chase after her to find out how she knew.
"If you don't know, that's fine. With so many of us, how could we not find two sets of remains?" one person said, and the rest of the group naturally agreed.
Then, the group started discussing where to begin their search.
After much discussion, the result was that they split into four groups and searched in different directions.
To prevent Liu Xuewei and the others from feeling isolated, Hua Lianyi and Meng Feifei went over to talk to them. Liu Xuewei and the others were willing to cooperate, and even specifically chose a direction for them.
After Hua Lianyi told Si Nansheng and the others about the direction Liu Xuewei and the others had chosen, Si Nansheng raised an eyebrow.
Isn't that the direction Si Nansheng found Hai Yan?
Liu Xuewei still hasn't given up!
When they went out, many villagers hid in their courtyards and houses to watch.
The village chief and several burly men stood by the roadside watching Ye Yanqing and his group.
"Immortals, where are you headed? Is there anything we can do to help you?" the village chief asked respectfully after bowing.
"No, village chief, the fog in the village is very strange, so we plan to go and see if the problem is in the surrounding area."
Mo Yu waved to the village chief, and the others nodded, but no one showed anything.
Is the problem around the village?
"Aren't you all immortals? How come you haven't found any results yet?"
"If this keeps up, none of us will dare to go out!"
The villagers bombarded him with questions, and Mo Yu didn't know who to answer.
"Hey, stop arguing, let the immortal answer slowly. Immortal, have you found the person who went missing a couple of days ago?" After stopping the villagers, the village chief looked at Mo Yu.
“Found it.” Mo Yu turned to look at Si Nansheng, who was standing there obediently.
"Found him? Why can your people find him but ours can't?" The villagers became anxious as soon as they heard that Si Nansheng had been found.
"Although my junior sister has been found, she was seriously injured. If my senior brother hadn't arrived in time, she might be gone."
Mo Yu told them the answer they had agreed on beforehand, and when they saw Si Nansheng's pale face, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
If even the immortals are severely injured, then the children from ordinary families certainly won't be able to come back either.
"Everyone, we need to hurry and check it out. Farewell." Mo Yu said to the village chief and the others, and then left.
The group of people split into four directions and left, while the village chief and villagers watched them from behind.
"Village chief, what should we do? Judging from their behavior, are they about to uncover something?"
"What if they find out our secret...?"
"You guys follow them. If they find anything, come back and tell us right away, and we'll figure out a solution immediately."
"If they discover the secret, then eliminate them all." As the village chief said this, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
Several young people followed Si Nansheng and his group stealthily, unaware that a shadow flashed past in the shadows.
Although the young people moved cautiously, Ye Yanqing and the others still noticed them the moment they caught up.
However, they seemed oblivious and continued with their own affairs.
They searched around but found nothing. During their break, Si Nansheng set up a soundproof barrier, and Shaoyu slowly emerged from Si Nansheng's shadow.
“Miss, the village chief said that if you discover the village’s secret, he will eliminate you all.”
Shao Yu looked at Si Nansheng and spoke softly. Si Nansheng sat on the ground, resting his chin on his hand.
"It seems this village has some serious problems. Junior Sister, what are your thoughts?" Ye Yanqing asked Si Nansheng.
“Before, Hai Rui told me that he used the dense fog to take some people away from the village, but there were no children among them.”
I remember you said that some children in the village seemed to have gone missing, is that right?
Si Nansheng thought for a while and felt that something was not right. Hai Rui, whose divine consciousness was about to disappear, had no reason to lie to her. What about the missing children in the village?
"Do you think the disappearance of those children might be related to the people in the village?" Mo Lie's voice suddenly rang out.
"They can't possibly have lost their child themselves and then blame it all on the thick fog, can they?" Mo Yu found it amusing.
But his words were met with silence from his senior brothers and sisters.
"No way?" Mo Yu turned to look at them, his face filled with disbelief.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so these people wouldn't abandon their own children, would they?
"Fellow senior brothers, have you ever considered that while consuming mermaid flesh and blood may grant immortality, it comes at a price?"
Si Nansheng sat up straight, his tone serious.
"Could it be because their child looks like a monster? So they abandoned the child? That can't be right." Wen Luoya shook his head, somewhat disbelieving.
"If it's really possible? Adults might develop features like fish scales, but what about newborns? Could they have other features, like... webbed feet or fish tails?" Si Nansheng asked cautiously.
"I did hear Elder Dan mention that when he went out to search for spiritual herbs, he saw people who had accidentally eaten mermaid flesh and blood. Their children had webbed hands and feet, just like the hands of a mermaid."
Nan Qingfeng suddenly remembered what Elder Dan had said before, and everyone fell silent. It was as if they now understood why those so-called missing children had disappeared.
"Almost everyone in the village has eaten mermaid flesh and blood, so naturally few of their offspring are normal. No wonder there are so few children in this village."
Mo Lie frowned. They had been wandering around the village for the past few days, but they had only seen a few children. Moreover, the children were all timid and hesitant when they saw them.
At the time, they didn't think much of it, assuming they were just afraid of meeting strangers.
Now it seems that they are not afraid of strangers, but rather afraid of being seen by them of something they shouldn't see!
"These people are truly laughable. They ruin people's families and cause their deaths, yet they still act all compassionate and sympathetic," Nan Qingfeng said angrily, clenching his fist.
