Brett shuttled back and forth underground. Although the Earthly Hound's natural sense of smell was not as good as the Yellow Dog's, it was still unique.
Especially after attaining the Mythical Metal Body, it was much more sensitive to Heaven and Earth Vitality. After all, its body was almost made of Heaven and Earth.
It sensed the slight flow of Vitality and soon found something unusual.
In the air, there were countless subtle flows of Yuan Qi. These Yuan Qi flows were absorbing the Yuan Qi of the entire Earth and then gathering somewhere underground.
It followed the flow of the Vitality Flows and finally arrived at a familiar place.
The Greater Rat Underground Kingdom was brightly lit as if it was daytime. It was a city that never sleeps.
Brett stood on top of the rock formation and looked down at the Kingdom below, trying to sense the source of the abnormality.
The Kingdom was clearly divided into two major districts, the inner and outer districts, separated by an inner city wall in the middle.
The inner district was obviously very prosperous, there was light everywhere. Tall buildings of different styles could be seen from time to time in the district, they were all beautiful.
If it was not for the rock formation above its head, Brett would have thought that it was in a bustling area of a human metropolis at night.
It could clearly smell the familiar scent of humans coming from some of the buildings. It could also hear strange voices such as "Bet on big", "Bet on small", "You won", "Sir, come and play".
The lights in the outer district were dimmer, the buildings were simple, and it could vaguely hear some "clanging" noises, probably coming from some factories.
"That's strange, what are these rats up to?" Brett sensed carefully for a while, and once again confirmed that this was the place where the vitality anomaly occurred.
To be precise, the last place where the Vitality Abnormality disappeared was in the biggest building in the inner district … a palace.
It thought for a while and did not go in. Instead, it took out its phone and sent a message to its master.
"Oh no, this is underground, there's no signal, right?" Brett was about to keep its phone when it realized that there was a signal here, and it was full bar …
"These rats are really busy …" Brett was very surprised and sent a WeChat message.
Then, it began to observe the rat demon city with great interest. For it, this was a very novel experience.
It had been staying in Morality City all this time, so it naturally made comparisons.
It quickly understood that those places with a strong human presence were places of depravity such as casinos and brothels.
In Morality City, everyone was kind and hardworking. In their leisure time, they would either train their bodies or cultivate their abilities. Mahjong and Pai Gow could not even be seen, let alone such a depraved place.
Most of the leisure buildings in the city were libraries, sutra pavilions, cultural palaces, science and technology centers, and so on. There was no place of decadence like this.
"As expected of a bunch of rats. They only know how to do dirty things," Brett said in disdain.
After all, it was a gentleman among dogs that had cultivated the Atmospheric Morality Technique. Naturally, it would not be interested in these places.
Of course, it did not know that this was a new invention created by the newly appointed king, Bai Shixin, in order to reverse the trade deficit with humans.
Greater Rats were in the early stages of development, so they had a huge demand for human products. On the other hand, humans did not have much demand for Greater Rats' products.
The only things they could export were cheap geothermal power and raw materials converted from the garbage industry.
It just so happened that China had already banned the import of garbage, but the Greater Rat Clan did not mind at all and contracted the garbage.
Importing other things required money, but importing garbage was the only thing the humans paid for …
Previously, it was only limited to China. As underground passages began to spread in all directions, the related garbage in developed areas such as Europe and America were contracted by them.
Although this industry was not on the surface, it was extremely profitable, especially for developing areas, as they could obtain raw materials at a low price.
Not long after, Vigilante A quietly appeared beside the Black Dog.
"Master, I've discovered it. No wonder vitality has decreased so much, it was all stolen by these rats. They really haven't changed. Master has taught them a few times, but they still dare to do such a thing. "The Black Dog quickly took credit.
"Mm, you've done well." Fang Ning nodded and passed a bottle of pills to the Black Dog.
"Thank you, Master." The Black Dog stretched out its paw to receive it. It shook its head and wagged its tail happily. Its servile behavior was vividly displayed.
"You rascal, I really can't let you be a detective with my body. You're too generous. You're just casually giving away my pills as a reward." The System suddenly interrupted.
"You're really short-sighted. The Black Dog and the Yellow Dog never get paid. Without some rewards, how can they improve quickly?" Fang Ning said righteously.
"Forget it. Hurry up and solve the case." The System said resentfully.
"That's easy. Let's go visit the relevant personnel first." Fang Ning said casually.
Then, he brought the Black Dog and directly appeared in front of the palace in the inner city.
A group of palace guards on duty immediately noticed Vigilante A. They were shocked and then lowered their heads, not daring to look at him directly. At the same time, someone immediately began to report inside.
The first important person to remember on duty here was not their King, but Vigilante A.
If they offended the King, they could still find someone to plead for mercy, but if they offended this guy, no one could save them.
A palace guard in bright clothes, who seemed to be the captain, bit the bullet and came up.
As the leader, it knew a little more. It understood that this important person would not bully the weak, nor would he slaughter the innocent.
However, it did not know if the things it had done were considered innocent … After all, the values of a rat were very different from that of a human.
"Venerable Dragon God, what's the matter? Do you want me to report to the King?" The captain of the guards asked carefully.
"Hmm, go ahead." Fang Ning nodded.
"Why so troublesome?" The System was dissatisfied again. "Why don't you just say something and I'll directly find Bai Shixin?"
"You don't understand. This is called beating the grass to scare the snake …" Fang Ning said forcefully. "If they're guilty, they'll definitely make some changes when they hear me. Either there'll be some loopholes in their words, or there'll be some problems with their actions. Don't tell me that an Inland-sea level system like yours can't sense it at such a close distance? "
"Of course I can sense it." The System said forcefully. "At this time, the movements in the entire palace are all in my senses, down to the smallest detail. That Bai Shixin is grading documents. He's really working hard. I haven't seen him for a few months and there's a lot more white hair and wrinkles. "
"You're so silly, really …" Fang Ning said disdainfully. "This guy is putting on a show for others. Even if he's lost a lot of power and overworked himself, he can still afford to buy some Face Rejuvenating Pills. How can there be a lot of white hair? There's only one explanation. He's deliberately keeping these white hair to show how hard he's worked. "
"Uh … What you said really makes sense. I'm really still a simple and honest system. This world is too sinister. "The System said resentfully.
"Stop talking nonsense. Is there anything unusual about him now?" Fang Ning asked.
"Yes, Mr. Rich Boss is wise. This guy picked up a phone call and then got up to take out a USB drive from a cabinet and plugged it into his laptop. "
"Good, this guy is still relatively honest now. It seems like he knows why we're here. "Fang Ning said in realization.
"I don't understand." The System was confused.
"Go in." Fang Ning was too lazy to explain.
…
In one of the side halls of the palace, Bai Shixin was receiving Vigilante A again.
"The Venerable One must be here because of the disappearance of vitality, right?" Bai Shixin asked calmly.
"You're as smart as ever. Then explain it to me." Fang Ning said lightly.
Bai Shixin did not waste any time and pushed the laptop over.
There was a video playing on it, and there was even sound.
A woman in white was talking to Bai Shixin. Bai Shixin had a careful look on his face.
The video was not long, about 20 minutes.
After watching it, Fang Ning fell into deep thought. He already knew the ins and outs of the matter.
"I'll let the Venerable One know. It's not that I don't want to report to the Venerable One, but this Exalted Immortal's background is too powerful. I can't afford to offend him, so I can only wait for the Venerable One to come. This way, I'll have an explanation." Bai Shixin leaned on the chair with a helpless look.
However, Fang Ning keenly sensed from the other's eyes that this guy seemed to be a little fearless.
"Sir, looks like your opponent has appeared again. This Bai Shixin is the most cunning. He must think that the person who came is not someone we can handle, so he's keeping a distance from us. In the past, he would definitely take the initiative to tell us about this. After all, the impact of this matter is too big, and it's very likely to lead to bad consequences. "Fang Ning said with a headache.
