Chapter 200 Audience with the Water God
Chapter 200 Audience with the Water God
Qiuhe spoke in a very low voice, as if toying with the fear in the hearts of the nobles, but even so, his voice was still very clear to them.
But like a thunderclap, a bolt of lightning struck them squarely on the head. Qiuhe, in fact, knew nothing of anyone's crimes; in his previous life...
Their plan only uncovered evidence of Lanah and Destriker's crimes; as for the other nobles, Qiuhe only knew that they were colluding with each other.
But there's no specific crime committed or any evidence of it. However, everyone has a demon within them, and every sin committed becomes food for that demon.
The moment the demon takes form, it instills fear in people of the crimes they have committed. Qiuhe doesn't need to do anything; a single word is enough.
These nobles were already pale with fear at the sight of their own fantasies, and the more terrified they were, the larger the demons within them grew.
Until their inner defenses were completely broken down, Qiuhe walked towards the treatment room where the little girl was, while Qiage knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
She staggered to her feet, her eyes glazed over, tears streaming down her face, and slowly walked out of the hospital. As soon as Qiuhe pushed open the door to the ward...
She then exchanged glances with several nurses inside the room, two of whom were currently bandaging the girl and applying the best medicine.
Looking at the unfamiliar boy at the door, a nurse looked around for a moment before realizing who it was. "Hey, this is the medical room. Doesn't the sign say no entry?"
"Get out of here!" Just as the nurse was about to step forward and shoo Qiu He away, a younger nurse quickly grabbed her hand.
"Head Nurse, Head Nurse, wait a minute." The head nurse was suddenly pulled back by a junior nurse. She looked a little confused, and then the junior nurse whispered something in her ear.
After the young nurse finished speaking, the head nurse's pupils dilated for a moment, then she looked at Qiuhe standing at the door, "Uh, sorry,"
"I didn't know you were sent by the Water God." Even if the Water God sent someone to investigate somewhere, people wouldn't usually be this nervous.
Seeing the somewhat uneasy expression on the head nurse's face, Qiuhe knew that the young nurse hadn't used friendly words to describe him. "Ah, it's okay, don't be nervous."
"The Water God sent me here to investigate this girl's case, and perhaps I can heal her now." Upon hearing this, the nurses all stepped aside.
Qiuhe walked to the girl's bedside and looked at her. He noticed that her body was wrapped in bandages and gauze, and there were still bloodstains on both sides of her chest.
In one private area, blood was even continuously flowing out along the gauze. Several nurses nearby noticed this and were very anxious.
They wanted to go forward and change the girl's bandages, but the head nurse stopped them from making decisions without authorization. "Tell me about her current injuries," she said.
Qiuhe suddenly asked this question, and the nurses around him were at a loss for words, given the somewhat sensitive location of the injury.
Several nurses were unsure how to explain the situation to a boy, and finally, the head nurse racked her brains and came up with countless tactful ways to explain the girl's current condition to Qiuhe.
The nurse recounted, word by word, that the girl was first intimately touched, then had her private parts removed with a sharp instrument, and that the two pearls on her chest were kissed off.
Listening to these carefully crafted words from the nurses, Qiuhe trembled with rage, her clenched hands bleeding from her fingernails.
The bloodshot veins in his eyes resembled haphazardly intertwined threads. Every time the nurse explained the origin of a scar on the girl's body, another vein would bulge on Qiuhe's face. No matter how skillful, natural, or well-packaged his words, he couldn't hide it.
However, this cannot change the fact that the box, once opened, revealed a bloody, horrific, and nauseating scene. If one hadn't seen and heard it with their own eyes and ears...
Qiuhe probably couldn't believe that anyone in the world could do such a beastly thing to a 6-year-old girl.
He dared not imagine what he would do if such a thing happened to Kree. Not daring to contemplate that possibility, Qiuhe slowly closed his eyes and composed himself.
He then gently placed his hand on the girl's forehead and channeled all the energy within him into her body, which could even heal her injuries.
In this era of the Genshin Impact world, even though Fontaine's technology is quite advanced, its medical technology is not yet advanced enough to restore lost flesh.
Forget about whether the lost flesh can be recovered; looking at the girl's injuries, she's probably hanging on by a thread, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Even though Akikawa possesses the magical power to heal wounds, and this power has been enhanced, he is not 100% certain that he can save the girl.
After all, the magic originates from within one's own body. While it might be useful for healing, this magic isn't truly healing; it contains corrosive elements.
If the girl doesn't make it through, her short life will come to an end; but if she does, there is still hope.
Meanwhile, at the reception desk below the Momang Palace, Sedna was idly resting her chin on her hand, staring at the ceiling.
"Hello, I wish to have an audience with the Water God." Sedna, who was lost in thought, suddenly heard an old yet very familiar voice. As she slowly lowered her head to look ahead...
Upon discovering that the visitor was none other than Chiag, a wealthy man from Fontaine, "Oh, hello, Mr. Chiag, may I ask what business you have with Lady Funina? Is it merely a simple request for an audience?"
"You need to make an appointment in advance." After a few seconds of silence, Chiag smiled knowingly. "I have important business with the Water God."
"Please do me this favor." After completing all the formalities, Sedna took the audience document and headed to Funina's room. Just as she approached the door...
Sedna then heard a beautiful, melodious tune drifting slowly from inside the room. "Huh? Strange, what kind of instrument is that?"
Sedna was filled with confusion as she listened to the sounds of the instruments inside the room. She couldn't recognize what instruments were making the sounds, but she knew from the sound that...
Furnessa must be busy right now, so Sedna didn't disturb her. She waited at the door for a long time, and the music gradually stopped, "knock knock knock".
Just as she finished playing the pipa, there was a knock at the door. At first, Funina was puzzled, then she realized it could be Qiuhe. "Lady Funina..."
"It's me, Sedna." Hearing Sedna's voice, Furnessa also spoke, "Ah, come in," and after receiving permission...
Sedna slowly pushed open the door and entered the room. "Lady Frinina, I heard some beautiful music outside, but I have something important to discuss with you now."
"I'm sorry to have taken up your time." Funina simply smiled slightly. "Oh, it's alright. Is there something you need?" Seeing this,
Sedna then produced the letter of audience. Funina took it and glanced at it, recognizing it as a letter of audience. "Lady Funina, Mr. Chiag requests to see you."
"They said they have something very important to discuss with you in person, so I came to inform you." Looking at the letter of audience in her hand, Funina still didn't understand.
What important matter could he possibly need to discuss with me? "Alright, then go and inform Mr. Chiag that I will be waiting for him in the audience room at 11 o'clock sharp."
After hearing this, Sedna left Fryna's room. As time passed quickly, it soon reached 10:59, and Fryna was already sitting in the audience room, drinking her tea.
As Funina took a sip of her tea, the clock struck 11:00. "Knock, knock, knock." "Come in," came the voice after she received permission.
Chiag pushed open the door and entered the house, where Funina was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, holding a teacup she had just finished drinking from.
Upon seeing that it was Chiag, Furina greeted him with a confident, almost divine smile, saying, "Hmm, very good. Mr. Chiag is very punctual."
"This is something I greatly admire." However, Qiag interpreted Funina's words differently, and he dared not look Funina in the eye.
He swallowed nervously, "I would never dare to be negligent in my audience with the Water God." With that, Chiag walked to the other side of the table and sat down.
Fu Ningna maintained her elegant expression as she listened, taking another sip of her tea and gently wiping the surface of the cup with the lid.
It was just an ordinary, mundane action, but the sound of the teacup lid rubbing against the teacup reached Chiag's ears.
But it was as if Death itself was standing behind him, relentlessly sharpening the scythe in its hand with its claws.
