Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 66 Contaminated Area

When the three of them left the magic scroll shop of the mage, the miserable boss who was unable to defend himself was being escorted out of the crowd by the guards holding his neck. The hunter whose head was smashed by Bigfoot became the best evidence. The boss will face the charge of "selling counterfeit and shoddy products causing serious injuries" and will be investigated by the Hearth Bay Supervisory Committee.

Old Mu is a talkative tree man. When he saw that Ivy was interested in Heisenberg, he enthusiastically told her about Heisenberg's great achievements.

They shuttled under the masts, bathed in the warm lights. In the distance was the endless black sea, as if at the end of the horizon was the origin of the Heisenberg legend.

This is a story called "Heisenberg and the Magic Book".

In the story, Heisenberg's life experience was completed. He was once a respected elemental shaper in the academy and became a teacher of elemental magic defense at a young age. When a northern girl with rare long white hair and a pair of red eyes became his student, the gears of fate began to turn.

"So, Heisenberg is actually... that person's teacher?"

Ivy immediately attracted great attention.

Ethan couldn't hold it in after hearing the first few words. Although the rumors were helpful for him to hide his identity and give people wrong information, the tree man turned against Tian Gang right away. Now he learned that the Winter Witch was still alive. If the witch herself heard about it, she would hold his head down and make him write "Respect your teacher" a hundred times on parchment.

But the more exaggerated things are yet to come.

The white-haired girl fell in love with the knowledgeable and humorous Heisenberg, and often sought Heisenberg privately to discuss knowledge under the pretext of discussing elemental magic. Soon, Heisenberg discovered the girl's amazing magical talent, among which she was particularly good at ice magic.

Over time, Heisenberg also developed a strange feeling for his student, but it was not out of love, but a kind of... fanaticism. Heisenberg clearly realized that as long as he was carefully cultivated, this talented student would most likely become one of the greatest elemental shapers in history.

"Wait a minute!"

This time even Ivy could sense something was wrong. "Where did you hear this story? Heisenberg was that guy's teacher? And she had a crush on Heisenberg?"

There is probably no more outrageous story in the world than this.

Ethan agreed wholeheartedly. He supported Ivy in striking hard. If the rumor got out, it might not be solved by copying "Respecting Teachers and Honoring Elders" a hundred times.

"As I said just now, this is the story of 'Heisenberg and the Magic Book'. Later on, Heisenberg will steal the forbidden magic book from the library to guide the white-haired girl in her practice and let her learn the dangerous knowledge in the book. By the way, I have already thought of the title of the second novel. What do you think of 'Heisenberg and the Chamber of Secrets'?"

"No way."

Ivy's face was pulled down, but it was completely hidden by the swirling mask.

She was so happy for nothing that she glared at Lao Mu's back with some ferocity, wanting to hit the tree man's head as flat as the hunter's, just like Bigfoot!

They returned to Lao Mu's shop, and business was still slow. Only a very small number of investigators from the shelter would use these strange props.

Old Mu had long been accustomed to such a life. When there was no business, he would light a gas lamp at the counter and pick up a feather pen to write quickly.

There is a parchment book on the table with only the beginning written on it. The sloppy handwriting looks very atmospheric.

"You know, my dream has always been to become a writer."

Mugram had tried to create many works, but most of them fell into oblivion. But this time, he had a strong feeling that Heisenberg's story might become the best-selling novel in Hearth Bay!
"No, we have no idea and we are not interested." Ivy didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore and said in a tough tone, "We want to check the information related to the contaminated area."

"Contaminated area?"

Lao Mu suddenly became alert, "Why are you checking these?"

"The case we have on hand is likely related to the contaminated area."

Ivy had heard about the concept of contaminated zones when she was studying at the Enlightenment Academy. It was an elective course that explored the world's anomalous spaces. The professor was a former A-level investigator of the Containment Bureau. He mentioned that contaminated zones were the most common type of anomalous spaces, and they often occurred after large-scale sacrifice ceremonies to evil gods.

Every year, the Containment Bureau dispatches personnel to conduct in-depth investigations in the contaminated areas. A group of scholars believes that these abnormal spaces that cannot be explained by common sense are directly related to the gods that disappeared from ancient times. However, the Containment Bureau's investigations are not smooth. The spatial distortions in the contaminated areas are often accompanied by deadly environments and many dark creatures that are not recorded in the manual.

Old Mu said, "All explorations into the contaminated area were halted three years ago. That's right, the previous director died, and the new director issued an order after taking office. All books related to the contaminated area have been strictly controlled. If you want to look up information on this, you may have to go to the General Administration and apply to the director in person."

"Stop, why?"

"Because some people believe that the containment failure that broke out in the imperial capital was caused by the contaminated area. The deeper you go into the contaminated area, the easier it is to lose your mind."

The conversation reached a deadlock.

Ivy frowned, there were many more mysteries in this containment bureau than she had imagined. Recently, she felt more and more that the containment breach three years ago was a time anchor point, and many changes had occurred since then.

Someone was hunting down the surviving A-level investigator, but even after she read the files over and over again, she couldn't find any clues.

Now, the investigation of contaminated areas is almost banned across the board, exuding a suspicious atmosphere everywhere.

"But you believe in the God of Truth. I have seen many investigators like you."

Old Mu suddenly spoke up, “Even if the application is rejected, they will eventually dive in without knowing anything about the contaminated area and disappear without a trace, just like Director Jacqueville.”

Ivy remembered the name immediately.

The founder of the Asylum Bureau, the first director, and a good friend of my grandfather. The last message he left was that he lost contact in a certain case.

Several subsequent directors continued to investigate Jacqueville's whereabouts, but until they left their posts for various reasons, the investigation failed to make any progress. The nobles believed that Jacqueville was dead and held a private mourning service for him.

“So, I kept this.”

Old Mu bent down, opened the drawer under the counter, and began to search carefully in the thick parchment book. After about a minute, he finally found the book titled "Jacqueville the Messenger of Light" in the book with almost the same cover.

"Strictly speaking, this is a novel I wrote. The content is purely fictional, but maybe... there will be some information that you can use. After all, I did a lot of research to write this novel."

(I would like to report the current situation of this book. It is the best one among all the books of Lao Tao before it is put on the shelves. Thank you for your support, dear readers! It has been removed from the new book list today. Generally speaking, Lao Tao has entered the top ten of the new book list for the first time, and it has also been recommended by Er Er Xin Qiang and Xiao Laba for the first time.
