Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 196 An unexpected gain

There are still a few days until the birthday of the Flower God, so there are no guards at the border of Xumi City to stop passers-by or prohibit entry or exit.

Ever since Sines and Egolia left Xumi City, the signal from the void terminal has become increasingly unstable.

Especially when the two of them walked to the edge of the desert - Kawanyi, the void terminal had almost lost its function.

Fortunately, Hines bought a map before leaving Xumi City, which avoided the embarrassing situation of the two getting lost.

"The terminal is no longer useful here. There's no need to carry it with you."

Hines casually took off the terminal from his ear and threw it on the side of the road, and also threw away Egolia's terminal.

Egolia looked at Xines in confusion.

"Why did you throw it away?"

Hines spread his hands casually.

"Such a convenient thing is actually distributed to everyone for free. It's hard not to suspect that there is some hidden secret."

Egolia smiled and didn't care about Hines' actions. Anyway, this thing could no longer provide her with more information, so just let it be lost.

The most notable feature of Kawanyi is the huge wooden sand-proof wall. After hundreds of years, it still bears the responsibility of preventing wind and sand from entering the territory of Xumi.

"The miracle of the tree king is truly spectacular."

Egolia stood at the foot of the sand barrier, looking up at the proof of her old friend's existence.

Hines stood beside her without saying anything. In his opinion, her company at this moment was far more reassuring than any words.

Egolia glanced at the 'wood' beside her and said, "Don't you even say a word to comfort me?"

It turns out that you can never guess what a woman is thinking, especially an older woman.

The above speech is excerpted from "Memoirs of Sines - Version 2.0 Undiscovered by Egolia".

After passing Kawanyi, the two officially set foot on the desert territory.

The sky was filled with yellow sand, which was swept up by gusts of wind. The dust in the air made it difficult to breathe.

Hines waved his hand and gathered a small ball of water in front of him. In a moment, the water ball became turbid.

“The desert environment is really harsh...”

What Sines complained about was exactly what Egolia wanted to say. Even though it was a doll's body, she felt that the surface was covered with dust and sand.

Egolia took a bottle of water from Xines and simply rinsed her mouth.

"On the bright side, at least we haven't encountered the worst of it yet, like the sandstorm or something like that."

Hines looked at Egolia expressionlessly, and pointed to the side.

"Look at the bright side. At least the sandstorm is still a few hundred meters away from us. Oh, it seems to be less than 200 meters away now."

Egolia: ...When did I become a jinx?

The two people who were eager to avoid the wind and sand had no mood to look at the map. Although the sandstorm would not cause any substantial harm to them, it was really dirty!

Fortunately, there are still many ruins and other buildings in the desert where the two can hide.

Eugolia pouted as she looked at her yellowing skirt. At this moment, she missed the mild climate of Fontainebleau very much.

As for Chines, he was still looking at the map...

Eugolia had a bad feeling when she saw the frown on Shines' face.

"Hines, where are we?"

"Based on common sense, we should be near Aru Village..."

“What if it’s not common?”

"At least we're still in the desert."

"..."

When the sandstorm subsided, the two men walked out of the ruins and planned to find a way to Aru Village, but they found a pothole where the sandstorm had passed.

Beneath the pit was a dim room, with a torn piece of paper stuck on the supporting pillar of the room.

Egolia glanced at it casually but was attracted by the 'Hypothesis on the Treatment of Demonic Scale Disease'.

Hines looked at the surrounding terrain. This must not be the House of Vitality, but who said that only the House of Vitality was researching the Demonic Scale Disease?

The doctor's experimental base may have more than one Vitality House. After all, the potion he uses to 'treat' patients is demon residue.

The two entered the ruins, a long-abandoned room with almost nothing of value, but Hines still felt the aura of the remnants of the demon that once existed here, which was very similar to the karma on Xiao's body.

Egolia walked forward to check out the so-called 'Demon Scale Disease Treatment Hypothesis'.

"This...what kind of conjecture is this? How can this possibly cure an illness?"

After reading this short passage, Egolia felt that the person who wrote it was a madman.

"Hines, this person actually wants to inject the demon residue into the patient's body, so that the power of the demon residue and the forbidden knowledge in the patient's body can offset each other?"

"Egolia, look at this..."

While rummaging through the drawers, Hines found some remaining documents, perhaps things that the owner of this place considered useless.

Egolia took the paper and read it out.

"Experimental Subject: Abbas."

"After injecting the demon god's residue and replacing the diseased skin and limbs, the symptoms of the demon scale disease have been alleviated, but the subject often coughs up blood. It is speculated that this is due to the subject's poor physical condition."

"What a surprise, he survived to the end."

"To facilitate research, I intentionally let him escape and look forward to further observation."

"He lived up to my expectations and walked to me alive. The look on his face when he saw me was so funny!"

"Today's plan is to replace the body tissue of the experimental subject with the Demonic Scale Disease and observe whether the disease spreads."

"Today's plan is to inject different types of demon residue into the test subjects and observe their vitality."

"Tsk, useless thing. We're replacing the failing organs of the experimental subject today, so the plan has been postponed."

"The test subject is rebelling. This is great news. We can increase the injection dose today."

"..."

"The experiment failed, but I discovered something interesting. This is the next step in the experiment."

It was a simple experimental log, but Egolia couldn't calm down for a long time. The Abbas mentioned in the log was obviously a person.

In this short diary, she could already see that Abbas had been treated inhumanely.

The final experiment failed, which undoubtedly sentenced Abbas to death.

"Hines, is this true?"

Hines sighed and gently hugged Egolia.

"I hope this isn't true..."

It cannot be said that the exploration of the ruins was fruitless, but it can only be said that Hines's murderous intent towards the doctor became even stronger.

Egolia tore up the documents and scattered them on the ground. She couldn't imagine what kind of person it was. No, could someone who did such a thing really be considered a human being?

What kind of monster would do such an outrageous thing?
