Original God's Dark Priest
Chapter 558: The Phantom Thief Appears
After talking for a long time, little Paimon swayed a few times in exhaustion and crashed directly onto Saphir's head.
It was of course not possible to carry a little kid on his head, so Saphir picked her up and held her in his arms. He had done this countless times, but he was used to it.
Being held by Sapphire, little Paimon rubbed his lips for a few times, changed to a comfortable position and then sighed: "Hmm... My mouth is so dry. How many times have I told you what happened?"
Saphir smiled dotingly, took out a bottle of water for the little guy to drink, and then looked at Seno: "This is the situation, are you interested in investigating?"
Seno did not answer this question, but looked at Saphir steadily: "I don't believe you can't handle this kind of thing."
"If I have to do everything, what's the point of the Traveler? I need to rest, too, okay?" Saphir hugged Paimon's arm tightly and said, "Besides, if I were really asked to investigate, what happened in Xumi has nothing to do with the Fatui. This is against the rules."
After hearing what Saphir said, Senor raised his eyebrows, and nodded after a while: "Okay, I'm free anyway, and, as Paimon said, my duty is to maintain the rules and judge the crimes."
He suddenly felt that Saphir was much more pleasing to the eye. At least, this person was obviously above the entire Xumi but was willing to respect the rules of Xumi. She really was so sad that Seno cried to death.
"What does Miss Qiliangliang think?" Charlotte looked at Qiliangliang who had been silent.
Qi Liangliang knew that this was already a concession decision, because if local law enforcement agencies were involved, they would generally be more forceful, and it would be rare for them to be willing to take her emotions into consideration.
So she nodded decisively: "Okay, but you should stay far away when delivering the goods."
This is the bottom line. No matter what happens after the delivery is completed, at least until the delivery, Komagariya must do what it should do. This is a matter of credibility.
After saying this, Qi Liangliang added: "I know this client is suspicious, but as long as there is no conclusive evidence, a client is still a client."
This was an explanation for the others. She was not good at speaking and didn't know how to explain it clearly, but fortunately, the people here were not stupid and understood it immediately.
Little Paimon locked himself in Saphir's arms and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! We promise you."
After finalizing this point, Charlotte raised a final question: "If we can't hear your conversation from a distance, how will you let us know if Miss Qiliangliang feels that something is wrong?"
"Don't worry about that. Just look at my tail and it will work for you." Qi Liangliang said, showing his tail.
Two slender, cute, furry tails bend left and right, forming a heart shape.
Little Paimon craned his neck to look over, a little confused: "Tail? Uh... which tail do you want to see?"
"Of course I looked at both together! I will find a way to let the customer confirm the contents of the package." Qi Liangliang said as a matter of course, "If the other party is a normal customer and the contents of the package are not the back of the card, I will sink the two tails and you don't have to make a move.
If the other party is really a Phantom Thief, I will..."
"Get down on the ground," Seno interrupted.
This confused Charlotte. She frowned and looked puzzled: "Why?"
Safir suddenly raised his eyebrows, thinking something was wrong.
But it is already late.
Seno showed a smile of success: "Didn't you say she was a monster? You're hinting at us being 'weird'."
Charlotte covered her forehead instantly, and for the first time felt a temperature even colder than her own Eye of God.
"I don't want to do such a shameful thing! Isn't this too weird?" Qi Liangliang was very normal, so normal that she looked quite abnormal in such an occasion.
Maybe it was because she was a monster, she couldn't understand the essence of the joke. Anyway, she cracked Seno's joke in a very normal way.
Seno did not insist, but changed his mind: "Really? Then you can just pat your back with your tail."
"This... why is this?" Charlotte did not learn her lesson and asked again, triggering the key words at the same time.
Sino crossed his arms, his expression serious: "It's simple, 'pat on the back'. So it's... 'card back'."
Charlotte staggered twice and almost lost her balance. After she recovered, she silently took off her God's Eye and said, "Perhaps you are more suitable for it than me."
Of course, this is just a joke. Regardless of whether Seno will accept it, the Eye of God itself cannot be transferred or discarded.
With a sigh, Charlotte finally returned to normal. She stared at Senor without blinking and suddenly asked, "Mr. Senor, do you want to come over and pick up news headlines part-time?"
“Is this how clickbait headlines appear?” Safire looked at the scene thoughtfully.
Little Paimon quickly reached out and patted her forehead: "Hey! Don't let your imagination run wild on this kind of thing!" Then she looked at Charlotte, "It's a good thing you can appreciate his sense of humor..."
Seeing that the argument would be endless if it continued like this, Saphir simply coughed and interrupted the discussion: "It's almost time, let's act quickly."
"Oh, it's already this late, the delivery time is coming!" Qi Liangliang was shocked, "Listen to me, if the other party is a thief, I will make my tail one high and one low, and you come to bring him to justice..."
"You really aren't going to lie down?" Seno asked, seemingly not ready to give up easily.
Qi Liangliang was so angry that he yelled, "No - get down -!"
"Hiss! Okay, I get it. Why are you yelling so loudly?" Seno turned his head away, seemingly frightened.
After finalizing all matters, Qi Liangliang set off, and the others followed her not far behind until they reached the agreed delivery location, and then they hid themselves, leaving Qi Liangliang to deliver the goods alone.
"Come to think of it, if we want to deal with a few bandits, Saphir can just give Qiliangliang some support, right?" Paimon muttered on the way, "Are you so unwilling to intervene?"
Charlotte chuckled and explained, "Paimon still doesn't understand what Miss Safire meant just now, right? In fact, from the beginning, what we lacked was not military power, but reputation."
"Name?" Little Paimeng raised her hand and scratched her hair. She really didn't understand these things.
Saphir noticed the little guy's puzzled look and asked, "What kind of identity do you think is needed to deal with a group of people?"
"Well... you have to be able to beat them, and then you have to have a good reason, such as being a victim, a law enforcer, or something like that." Little Paimon thought about it and felt that this was the case.
There are no particularly perfect laws on the continent of Teyvat. Even in Fontaine, which is famous for law and justice, there are many loopholes in the laws.
Other countries tend to believe that the bigger the fist, the more final the truth, so many people don't care too much about the so-called name issue. There are so many cases of chivalry and justice in Liyue, who would have to find an excuse to punish evil?
Or, in other words, punishing evil and eliminating evil is itself a reason.
"That's right. I'm not a victim, nor am I a related person. These people have never done anything harmful to the Fatui, so it's not easy for me to step forward to resolve this matter." In fact, no one would pursue this, but Safire himself had to care.
At that time, Ying Lai Xumi dealt with Dottore on the pretext that Dottore interfered in Inazuma's internal affairs, and Barnabas had no way to refute this reason.
Zhongli had no clear reason to snipe Dotore at Xiangzui Slope, but that was in Liyue, and he was the God of Rock, so he could act recklessly. Moreover, the envoys of Zhidong usually need to submit documents when they go to a country, and only then can they be formal envoys.
Dotore showed up in Liyue without a visiting card or a formal visit, and even his itinerary did not involve Liyue, so he deserved to die there.
As a leader, it is very unclassy to get involved in everything.
When he accepted Alice's commission, Saphir still has to worry about going to various countries to unlock the seals of the earth veins. It is really annoying. Every seal of the earth veins hides some strange things. From the beginning of Dekarapian to Nabu Marikata, the level of strength has also undergone several leaps.
Even in the Eternal Oasis, the Nibelungen, where time almost stopped, had appeared. If the order were reversed, Saphir felt that he would have died a thousand times already.
So she has always been very unenthusiastic about getting involved in other things.
The case of Dotore is an exception, that is called seeking revenge.
The group ran all the way to the delivery location. Little Paimon looked around and sighed, "This place is so desolate... Qi Liangliang, have you really confirmed the address?"
Which kind person would be here to receive the goods?
Little Paimon felt that it was probably a mistake.
"Walk about a hundred steps along the main road from Kawanyi toward the desert, next to the first flaming flower you see. That's what the address says." Qi Liangliang confirmed it again and nodded. She was not wrong.
After hearing what she said, little Paimeng couldn't hold it in anymore and yelled, "This doesn't look right, does it?"
Ying and Saphir looked at each other, and both of them understood.
"Here in the wilderness, there are no good intentions..." Safir muttered, his eyes becoming much colder.
Ying nodded in agreement: "I'm afraid from the beginning they didn't intend to let the courier leave alive. This place... is cleverly chosen."
Qi Liangliang didn't hear the two people's whispered conversation, but was busy looking for the specific location: "The first flaming flower... um... flaming flower... OK! We're here!"
She walked over to a flame flower and stopped.
Little Paimon had already flown out of Saphir's arms by this time. She looked around and saw only barren mountains, dead trees, and a sky full of dust. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
She spread her hands helplessly: "I can't see a single house around..."
"Maybe the consignee wants to come here to pick up the package in person. I've encountered this kind of thing before." Qi Liangliang's eyes were full of clear stupidity, and he was still thinking positively, "It's not time to collect the package yet, so you should find a place to hide now. Remember, watch my tail."
Qi Liangliang said, turning sideways to show his tail and signaling.
Led by Seno, several people came to a high ground where the view was better and they could overlook the situation below, and the delivery location was right below.
After arriving here, Little Paimeng could no longer hold back and said, "There must be something wrong with that consignee! Who would arrange to meet here? To hand over the Heart of God?"
Saphir immediately looked up at her.
Feeling the thorn in Saphir's eyes, Little Paimon smiled and said, "I was just kidding. Besides, wasn't your handing over of the Heart of God aboveboard?"
"It's not that fair..." Saphir waved his hand, not wanting to discuss this issue. Senor is still here, don't treat him like a fool.
Seno looked a little embarrassed. The Heart of God of Xumi was no longer in the hands of the God of Grass, and no one in the entire Xumi knew about this.
Seno felt a little cold on his neck, swallowed and said, "I didn't hear anything. You continue."
"Forget it. After all, we have to consider the reputation of Komaghaya, so let's just give in. I think Seno has no objection." Saphir asked.
Seno had no expression on his face and sat quietly aside, showing with his actions that he had no objection. After two seconds, he spoke: "It doesn't matter, let's just follow her lead."
Charlotte felt a bit of a headache. As a pure newcomer, she suffered three consecutive blows from Seno's jokes in a short period of time, but she didn't go crazy. She was worthy of being the holder of the Ice God's Eye.
"I said that people who are cold-resistant get along well with Seno. The last one seemed to be Albedo." Saphir rubbed her temple. She felt as if her brain was frozen.
Ying and Paimeng were also speechless, they also felt cold.
Seno looked around and noticed that their faces were not very good. He thought they didn't understand, so he decided to explain: "What's wrong? 'Wei Se' means, 'tail'..."
"Ah, okay, okay, we all understand!" Although little Paimeng is usually a little coward and is afraid of everyone he meets, he will become very arrogant after getting familiar with them. He is really an expert at taking advantage of the power of others.
In such a situation, she resolutely stood up and interrupted Seno's explanation.
Thanks to Paimon, I was born with a heart that is not afraid of power, and eyes that can see the situation clearly.
After being frustrated by Seno's cold joke, everyone lost interest in chatting and began to wait quietly.
During this period, Seno had inspiration to say something several times, but was glared back by Saphir.
Thanks to Seno, at least he understood the warning look.
Finally, it was time for delivery. In the sight of Saphir and the others, a group of people approached Qi Liangliang from a distance.
"Look, someone is really coming!" Little Paimeng felt that the waiting time was too long. When she saw someone coming, she suddenly became very excited. Finally, she didn't have to wait any longer.
She didn't know how many times Saphir's glare could scare Seno, so it would be better to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Below, among a group of people rushing in from afar, a tall, strong, one-eyed middle-aged man asked Qiliangliang, "Are you the courier from Komagariya?"
"Yes, it's me. You must be Mr. 'Didi Baba', right?" Qi Liangliang confirmed the order information and said the name left by the other party.
Of course, this is just a pseudonym.
The middle-aged man called Didibaba didn't answer, which was considered as tacit agreement. He just asked, "Where is the goods?"
"The goods are all here, please keep them." Qi Liangliang took out a courier box and handed it over.
Didibaba took the box and turned to leave, but was stopped by Qiliangliang: "I suggest you open it and check. I have traveled to many places in the past few days. The roads were bumpy and the weather was changeable. I don't know if the contents inside have been affected."
Her suggestion was reasonable. Most people would confirm it first after hearing it. After all, if there was damage during transportation, they could ask for compensation. If they took it back and confirmed it themselves, Komagariya would not have to take responsibility if there was any damage.
Unexpectedly, Didi Baba refused: "No need, you haven't seen what's inside along the way, right?"
"No, no, this is expressly prohibited by our company." Qi Liangliang waved her hands repeatedly. She was a mature and experienced courier and would never make such a low-level mistake. "If the item is important, I suggest you confirm it. If there is any damage, I can compensate you now."
This seemed to anger Didibaba. He turned around and turned back again, with a fierce look on his face: "I told you it's not necessary, why are you still bringing it up?"
At this moment, a young man came up behind him and whispered in his ear: "Boss, I see there is only one courier... not as good as us..."
After hearing this, Didibaba thought for a moment and nodded, then looked at Qiliangliang: "Hey, you. You came here alone today, right?"
"Eh? Right...right, how is it possible to bring so many people to deliver a package?" Qi Liangliang became a little flustered when she heard this, and her tail kept swinging up and down unconsciously. This was a subconscious action when she lied, and she couldn't control it at all.
The people on high ground were watching her tail. After noticing something unusual, little Paimon exclaimed, "There's a signal!" Then he looked confused, "Huh? This... this is different from what we agreed on."
Seno didn't know what signal Qiliangliang was sending. He wanted to ask for help from Safir, but found that Safir had disappeared.
