Chapter 233 Lingling Arrives

Mu Ningxue looked at Qin Chen in surprise, her eyes clearly saying, how do you know?

"I have entered your body. How can I not know what you are thinking?" Qin Chen said with a slight smile.

In response, Mu Ningxue gave this shameless guy a beautiful look and rolled her eyes. How long has it been since she was still telling such dirty jokes?

"I have found the information about the Drowning Curse. My hunter partner will arrive tomorrow, and then we will solve this international bounty case together." Qin Chen said.

"Drowning curse?" Mu Ningxue asked curiously.

"Yes, this kind of weird drowning death has happened in many coastal cities. It is called the drowning curse. The Hunter League even has a bonus pool for the drowning curse case. As long as we can solve the drowning curse incident, , you can get 350 million from the Drowned Curse bonus pool, which is a big reward.”

Qin Chen said with a hint of excitement in his eyes that he would never feel enough for money, and if the drowning curse could be solved, his hunter level could at least be upgraded to a five-star hunter master. If he needs anything by then, he will publish it directly in the Hunter League Tasks, countless people came to search for him.

"I see!"

Mu Ningxue now understood why Qin Chen was so active. Based on her understanding of Qin Chen, if there was no certain benefit, Qin Chen would be indifferent at all. It turned out to be for the bonus.

The next morning, Lingling, a little loli, came to the door.

"After my investigation, I found that the place where curses occur most frequently in the world is in our city."

Lingling said after listing all the cases of curse-drowning incidents in the world on the electronic map.

"No wonder, I've heard before that eight people have died from being cursed in this city this year," Mu Ningxue said.

"Most of the people who died from drowning were people living by the river and the sea, so later we will go and find out on the spot the situation of the residents near the sea and rivers."

"It would be best to find the family members of those who died due to the curse, and ask them about the state of those people before they died, and see if we can find some similarities."

Lingling kept staring at the computer and said that she was quickly sorting out the data to analyze the reasons for the drowning curse.

Later, Qin Chen and Mu Ningxue went to the city's seaside residents to conduct on-the-spot investigation. Qin Chen knew what was going on with the drowning curse, and it would be best to find a corpse that had just experienced a drowning curse.

Qin Chen used music magic to constantly listen to the sounds around him, and could quickly detect whether there was a sharp drop in life fluctuations around him, while Mu Ningxue was responsible for asking the residents for information about the drowning curse.

Now Qin Chen's music system exploration range has reached a radius of three thousand meters, and any disturbance within three thousand meters cannot be hidden from his ears. In order to quickly understand the field of music system, Qin Chen has been at Exercise the power of your phonology system.

The reason why he was able to understand the space system and chaos system so quickly was because the ancient king's cultivation insights gave him a lot of inspiration. After all, the magic practiced by the ancient king included space system and chaos system. It was easy to understand by analogy. Realized the realm.

Music is different. Nan Jue, who majored in music in the team, has not yet understood the field of music, let alone Qin Chen, who is not even a minor in music.

However, everything has something in common. He has already understood the realm of space and chaos. It also has some auxiliary effects on the realm of music. He believes that his understanding will definitely be able to understand the realm of music.

"The life fluctuations are drastically decreasing, and the heartbeat has almost stopped. Found it!"

At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly felt that a heartbeat within the range of his music exploration was getting slower and slower, and it stopped beating in a short period of time.

Qin Chen immediately went to the location of the man whose heart had stopped. However, when he arrived, he saw a sloppy man with a faint water element ice wave on his body. He was a water mage.

"Who are you? Why are you coming to my house?"

The water mage said vigilantly, Qin Chen knew at a glance that he was a young master from a noble family, and he must have bad intentions when he came to his poor family.

"Is there someone at home? He is about to die. Why don't you hurry up and take a look?" Qin Chen pointed at the door of his house and said.

"What?" When the water man heard this, he immediately took out the key and opened the door.

"Noko!!!!!!"

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a man chained up. The man actually cut his wrist with a knife, drained the blood and put it in a basin. Then he immersed his face in the blood basin and drowned. !

The water man looked at the dead man in despair, his eyes were dull and out of focus. This was his only relative, and he didn't expect that he would die in front of him like this!

At this time, Mu Ningxue also came over. Seeing this horrifying scene, she couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"Hey, Lingling, come here. We found a person who just died due to the curse."

Qin Chen immediately called Lingling. This was a recent case of drowning curse and it was very important to solve the drowning curse.

"We are the Hunter Masters of the Hunter Alliance. We are investigating the Drowning Curse incident and want to completely solve this Drowning Curse that is endangering mankind. Can you tell us about your brother? We want to know about the Drowning Curse. Then find out the reason and completely solve the drowning curse."

After the water man cried in pain for a long time, Qin Chen asked.

"My brother Noko loves surfing"

Bobby told the story about his brother Noko bit by bit. Bobby naturally hated the drowning curse that killed his brother and hoped that someone could completely eliminate it. So even though he was immersed in sadness, Bobby told all these things one by one in response to Qin Chen's questions.

After the story was finished, Lingling just came here.

"Little sister, don't go in!"

Bobby saw such a cute little loli Lingling coming in, and quickly stopped her to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.

"I am the hunter master, you rookie, get out of the way."

Lingling saw this guy with the high-level hunter medal blocking her way, so she took out her hunter master license.

"Hunter master? Senior?"

Bobby felt that his worldview was destroyed. Such a little loli turned out to be his senior?

Lingling ignored Bobby's shock and came directly to Noko, examined Noko from beginning to end, and then took some samples for research.

"Find a master with good skills to dissect him for research, so as to further confirm the cause of the drowning curse." Lingling said experiencedly.

"What? Autopsy? No, he's my brother!"

Bobby refused immediately after hearing Lingling's words.

"If you think giving him a complete body for a funeral is more important than finding out the cause of his death, then I have nothing to say." Lingling rolled her eyes at Bobby and said.

"Okay then."

Hearing this, Bobby's heart sank and he agreed with Lingling's opinion.

Afterwards, after Lingling's experiments and the jellyfish maggots found in Noko's blood, it was determined that the cause of the drowning curse was the jellyfish maggots.

"These transparent jellyfish maggots enter the human body through seawater, and then absorb nutrients in the human body to reproduce and grow. They also have the power of mental control and control the human body's thinking."

"When the nutrients in the human body are absorbed by the jellyfish maggots, the maggots will control the human body to go to the seaside. As long as the human body comes into contact with seawater, the jellyfish maggots will drill out of the human body and dive into the sea."

"When the nutrients in the human body are completely absorbed by the jellyfish maggots, the person is dead at that time, and the jellyfish maggots are really alive. When the jellyfish maggots leave the human body, the person will naturally show the phenomenon of drowning death."

"This is the truth of the drowning curse."

Lingling sorted out her words and said seriously.

"Doesn't that mean that this jellyfish maggot can transform into any demon, even us humans?" Mu Ningxue asked incredulously.

"In theory, this is the case." Lingling nodded seriously.

"How should we solve it now?"

Bobby seemed to have heard some shocking secret, but what he cares most about now is how to solve the drowning curse incident and prevent more people from being harmed by the drowning curse.

"The solution lies in the jellyfish maggot. The jellyfish maggot is still a larva. We need to release it back to the sea and wait for it to mature. Then we can find the pathogen in it and make a vaccine. In this way, people all over the world will not be cursed by the drowning curse again." Lingling said.

"How long will it take for this little guy to grow up?"

Mu Ningxue frowned and asked. If it takes too long, they will not have time to do this.

"The growth of jellyfish maggots is very strange. As long as they enter a demon, they will devour the demon and grow into the demon very quickly. That's when they mature." Lingling said.

"What are you waiting for? Mark this little guy and release him back to the sea. We will be its nanny all the way until it grows up."

Qin Chen stood up and put a Chaos Mark on the jellyfish maggot.

At this time, Mu Ningxue, who had not done many hunter missions, felt a little absurd. They actually wanted to release this murderer back to the sea and protect it all the way until it grew up.

"I am a water mage. I can sail with you. I am very familiar with the sea area around here." Bobby volunteered.

"Well, let's get ready and set off together." Qin Chen nodded.

Before going out to sea, you need to prepare a lot of things, because you don't know how long it will take. At least food and fresh water need to be prepared for a month, and there are various overseas medicines, etc. At the same time, Qin Chen also asked Ai Jiangtu to ask for half a month's leave for him and Mu Ningxue.

"Bobby, this is a water spirit seed. I give it to you. It's your reward for taking us out to sea."

Qin Chen went to the magic market and bought a water spirit seed for Bobby with 20 million. This is mainly to enhance Bobby's water power so that he can lead them better. After all, he and Mu Ningxue don't have water power, which is inconvenient in the sea.

Another thing is that the bounty is very high. Bobby helped them complete the bounty, so this is his reward.

"I can't accept this. It's too expensive!"

Bobby is just an ordinary mid-level water mage who doesn't even have a spirit seed. Seeing such a water spirit seed in front of him, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted. But when he thought that he went to sea with them not for money, but to solve the drowning curse, Bobby refused.

"Take it. If we can solve the drowning curse, we will get a large bonus. I give you this spirit seed because you have contributed to this matter." Qin Chen stuffed it directly into Bobby's hand and said.

Now the spirit seed is nothing to him. Xiao Yanji eats soul seed fragments for snacks every day. One soul seed fragment is almost equal to one spirit seed. So, for him, the spirit seed is just a snack for Xiao Yanji.

"Thanks."

Hearing this, Bobby no longer hesitated and directly refined it on the spot.

Soon, Lingling also marked the jellyfish maggot. After releasing the tree jellyfish maggot, she immediately drove the boat and followed it five hundred meters behind to protect it.

Fortunately, the jellyfish maggots at this time were weak and could not dive into too deep waters, otherwise they would have been lost.

"Qin Chen, hurry up, it has encountered an enemy, go down and help it deal with it."

Lingling looked at the laptop and shouted.

"Come on, come on, he is such an ill-behaved and bad boy. He knows how to cause trouble all the time. It is better to have three little guys I raised."

Qin Chen said helplessly, and then jumped directly into the water. At the same time, he used the space system to give himself an air layer to ensure that he could breathe underwater.

Entering the sea, he used the power of space to turn into power, which was equivalent to installing a propeller under his feet, and he quickly shuttled through the sea.

"In the sea, the fire system is suppressed by the sea, and its power is cut in half. The space system's power is reduced by two levels because the space in the sea is more stable. The sound system's power is increased by two levels because it propagates faster in the sea. The Chaos Element has not been suppressed. Should I awaken the Water Element? The future is the age of the sea. If I don’t awaken the Water Element, it will be a big loss to fight in the sea.”

Qin Chen swam over while comparing his situation in the sea and on land.

"You dare to chase and kill the baby maggots I protect. You don't know whether to live or die."

Before Qin Chen could figure out the answer, he saw a sea monster covered with swordfish spines chasing the jellyfish maggots that he had planted with the mark of chaos.

"Chaos - Vortex"

Without any hesitation, a chaotic vortex appeared in front of the pursuit of the Jianwei Sea Monster, and the strong devouring power swallowed up the surrounding seawater and the Sword Wise Sea Monster.

The Chaos Vortex can not only swallow magic, but also demons. It has unparalleled crushing power within the Chaos Vortex. The warrior-level sword-wielding sea monster that entered it was directly crushed to death by the Chaos Vortex.

However, Qin Chen did not reverse the vortex of chaos, because the Jianwei Siren after being crushed was very bloody, and a large amount of blood would attract more Jianwei Siren.

"Boohoo!!!!!!!"

However, even though Qin Chen was so careful, he was still discovered by a large number of sword-wielding sea-monsters. He saw black shadows rushing towards him from afar, each of them a warrior-level sword-woken sea-monster.

Under the investigation of Qin Chen's music system, those sword-wretched sea monsters seemed to be endless, rushing over in a steady stream, as if they smelled some delicious food, making them crazy.

"The sword-wretched sea-monster I just killed couldn't be the prince specially protected by these sword-wretched sea-monsters."

Seeing so many sword-wrecked sea monsters rushing towards him, Qin Chen couldn't help but say that logically speaking, the killing he had just done had absolutely no smell of blood. There was only one explanation for attracting so many sword-wrecked sea monsters.
