Original God's Dark Priest

"That's it. I hope Mr. Bai Shu can let Qiqi stay with me for a few days, and I will let her come back after the Lantern Festival." After stating the whole story, Safiel made his request.

After listening to Safir's words, Bai Shu touched his chin thoughtfully, and suddenly looked at the little white snake lying next to him: "Changsheng, what do you think?"

"What? Why are you asking me about Qiqi's affairs?" Changsheng stuck out his tongue, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

But Bai Zhu shook his head slightly, and then said: "I'm not asking you about Qiqi. I want to ask you, during the Lantern Festival, do you want to stay in Liyue Harbor for a few days?"

Changsheng was stunned by Bai Zhu's suggestion. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. If I'm not here, God knows what you will do to treat those patients. I have to stay by your side and supervise you!"

"Is it just for this kind of thing?" Bai Zhu smiled warmly and then looked at Qiqi, "Qiqi, what about you? Are you willing to spend this Lantern Festival with Miss Anmu?"

"Mr. Bai, please wait a moment..." Qiqi slowly flipped through the booklet in her hand, and after turning to a certain page, she read softly, "Saphir... dark-skinned, with red eyes, gentle, good-looking... is... a friend."

After reading it, her eyes sparkled: "Oh... they are friends, so it's okay."

"Does this count as consent?" Safire tilted his head and asked uncertainly.

Qiqi nodded seriously: "Okay, let's celebrate... the Lantern Festival together, but... I don't know how to perform... Qiqi."

"It's okay. Let Jiang Liqu consider this matter. I'm only responsible for inviting people." Saphir was not responsible at all and even thought about how to pass the buck.

Qiqi frowned and began to flip through the booklet again: "Jiang Li...Jiang Li...cute little baby, yes, a friend.

Yes, sure. "

Although Qiqi is indescribably cute, Saphir always feels distressed when watching this scene. This little girl has spent thousands of years in this state. What seems like a very cute action to others is a source of pain for Qiqi.

Qiqi doesn't even know whether to maintain the status quo or make changes. Safir doesn't know how long this chaotic state will last.

She had made up her mind that if one day Qiqi decided to become an ordinary person, she would definitely help her realize her wish, even if this would be very cruel in some way.

But she was Safire, and she had done countless cruel things, so she had long since gotten used to it.

After confirming Qiqi's situation, Saphir was about to take Qiqi away, but was stopped by Bai Shu: "Please wait a moment, Miss Anmu, I have something else I want to ask."

"What's the matter?" Saphir stopped and turned to look at Bai Zhu, whose expression had become serious.

Bai Shu pulled a bottle out of a drawer, and Saphir could tell it was a healing potion she had made by combining primordial water and healing prayers.

Was Bai Zhu calling her for something related?

"I have analyzed this potion for a long time. But I have not found any herbal ingredients in it. No matter how many times I try, the result is just water." Bai Zhu held the potion with a wry smile on his face. "Miss An Mu, can you help me understand what this is..."

Saphir looked outside the door, confirmed that there was no one else, and said, "The reason is very simple, because it was created by my ability, I injected vitality into it, and the water is not ordinary water, but the original water that can neutralize the power of the virtual world.

The combination of the two has resulted in what it is now.”

After hearing this, Bai Zhu suddenly realized: "So, this is not a medicine, but..."

"It's life." Saphir smiled. "You can also call it 'hope', the hope of living."

Saphir took Qiqi away, leaving Baizhu sitting behind the counter. He thought for a long time, raised his hand and tore off the label of "Anshen Soup" on the medicine cabinet next to him, and replaced it with another label: "Hope". After changing it, he looked at it again and again, and added another label, which read: Calming the mind and calming the spirit, it can prolong life.

He looked at the words "extend life" and the more he read, the more strange it seemed to him. In the end, he removed the label and replaced it with "calm the mind and strengthen the body."

After putting this on, Bai Shu finally showed a satisfied expression. A man does not talk about strange things. Although there are many gods and ghosts in Liyue, Bai Shu still doesn't like those mysterious things. Although according to Saphir, the extension of life is true, but... it is too exaggerated and not good.

After bringing Qiqi to the Yanshang Teahouse and handing her over to Jiang Li, Saphir rushed to the Wangshu Inn without stopping, picked up Xiao and left, leaving Fushe and Xiaobao stunned.

"What? Him? Performance?" After hearing Saphir's explanation, Fushe was so shocked that his four arms almost started fighting with each other. "This person can also sing? I have never heard of such a thing in my thousands of years of life."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao, who looked pale, with a serious expression: "Jin Peng, tell me the truth. We have been friends for so many years. Are you still hiding something from me?"

"..." Xiao's native language now is speechless. After a long time, he finally managed to utter, "Your brain may have been corroded by the abyss. Let the adults help you purify it."

Fushe was immediately amused, patting Xiao's shoulder and laughing: "I knew you were good, now you've learned how to joke!"

No, Xiao was not joking, he really meant it.

Saphir was also helpless. As she led the way to Liyue Harbor, she said, "Anyway, that's it. I don't know what Jiangli is thinking. She insisted on forming a band or something, and even designated the personnel. Sigh... It's so frustrating."

Fushe was a little curious. He thought for a moment and asked, "So, sir? Are you also in this band?"

"No. She wants me to play solo." Saphir looked up at the sky. If it weren't for the fact that the little girl had worked so hard this year, she really didn't want to accompany her in such nonsense.

The three of them went to Liyue Harbor in a noisy manner.

On the other side, Ying and little Paimeng met Ye Lan in Tianheng Mountain.

Although this girl kept talking about wanting Saphir to go visit the immortals with her when she got up in the morning, in fact, they had to wait until Ganyu finished her business before they could go together. Today was only the first day that Ganyu mentioned, so naturally it was not the time to visit the immortals yet.

As for why they came to Tianheng Mountain, it all started with what the two clowns encountered at Yujingtai in the morning.

After getting up in the morning, Ying took Paimeng to Yujingtai to see how Ganyu was progressing, but she ran into Baiwen who was in a panic. After asking, she found out that Ningguang asked Baiwen to check for unstable factors before the Lantern Festival.

As a result, she really discovered an unstable place. A strange melody was heard near Tianheng Mountain. As a secretary without strong military force, she had to find Keqing, who was good at fighting, to deal with it.

But she didn't find Keqing, but found Ying and little Paimeng instead.

As a kind-hearted traveler, Ying naturally took the responsibility and took on the job directly, so the two of them went to Tianheng Mountain and began to investigate.

Under this premise, the two of them came to Tianheng Mountain and began to look for something wrong. Then, they met Ye Lan who also came to investigate.

Little Paimon was also startled because Ye Lan walked without making any sound.

Now, they were standing at the door of a house, discussing this emergency.

This incident was quite strange, because according to their investigation, they were sure that the house had been robbed, but the house was very tidy, there were no signs of a fight, the doors and windows were locked, and it looked as if the owner had just gone out.

Therefore, Ying and Paimon were very confused and didn't know what the cause was.

Seeing their confused faces, Ye Lan simply shared her intelligence: "A long time ago, there was a group of bandits in the suburbs of Liyue. They would blow horns before looting a village. That strange music was not to set the mood, but a threat to the weak and a warning.

In order to save their lives, the villagers fled their homes overnight, taking as much property as they could without caring about anything else. Later, the bandits were naturally caught, but the fear and shadow remained in the hearts of the villagers forever.

Whenever they heard the melody from before, they would subconsciously think that bandits were coming again and would flee in panic. The criminals in this scene took advantage of this and confiscated all access."

After she finished speaking, Ying and Xiao Paimeng suddenly realized that this was taking advantage of people's fear. The long-term persecution had made the villagers like frightened birds. They would run away at the slightest sign of trouble, so much so that they even gave up many of their family's belongings just to save their lives.

Ying nodded slightly: "It seems that fear and terror have allowed the residents here to avoid possible physical pain, or even life-threatening situations."

Ying already understood it completely, but she would not laugh at the other person for being timid. In many cases, timidity itself is an instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Ye Lan nodded in agreement, “Although our victims may be a little timid, at least they won’t be in danger.

The key point now is how to find this...'copycat'."

In order to better describe the case, Ye Lan even considerately gave the bandit a professional name.

Ying looked at little Paimon, then looked at the surrounding environment, and asked tentatively: "Will elemental vision work?"

Ye Lan shook her head slowly and looked at her with a playful expression.

Ying felt that she was being looked down upon, and immediately changed her tone: "Then let's find footprints! Footprints will be fine!"

"Hahaha, you've been following that Safir guy for so long, and you haven't learned anything else but to be smooth-talking?" Ye Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stopped teasing her. She straightened her face and said seriously, "The methods you proposed are probably useful methods in normal times.

But it won’t work today. If you search the area, you will find that this criminal not only knows how to use melody to do evil, but also has experience in escaping. "

As she spoke, she took Yingchen to look at the surrounding land: "Look, there are no footprints on the ground, which means that this person deliberately avoided the dirt road, naturally in order to cover up his footprints. As for the elemental vision..."

She chuckled. "Even footprints were taken into consideration, and they were very good at avoiding leaving any. Naturally, it was impossible for me to be contaminated by the elements. The purpose, of course, was to prevent any 'experts' from noticing me."

She said it with certainty, and added: "You can try to find some clues using the elemental vision."

Ying nodded and turned on the elemental vision to try to observe the surroundings. It was not that she did not trust Ye Lan, but since there was a way to obtain clues, she could not not try it. In case it was effective, it would also help advance the case.

However, after Ying opened the elemental vision, he found nothing. Just as Ye Lan said, the other party was not contaminated by the elements and did not leave any traces.

This result made Ying a little discouraged. Then she looked at Ye Lan a little embarrassedly.

Seeing her like this, Ye Lan smiled and nodded: "You don't have to feel ashamed. Learning to question is a necessary quality for handling cases. Even the conclusions drawn by the most authoritative people can be questioned, and I am no exception.

Your approach is correct. Although you didn't get any results, this quality deserves recognition. OK, let's move on."

Ying scratched her head and followed Ye Lan's footsteps. Little Paimeng followed quietly behind. When it came to using her brain, that was her blind spot.

After walking a few steps forward, Ye Lan spoke again: "The other party is very vigilant and thinks he can hide it from everyone, but unfortunately, I am an expert in tracking, not only tracking, but also camouflage and counter-detection. There are only a few people in Liyue who can surpass me...

Forget it, let’s talk about this case. In any case, the level of this copycat is too low. In my eyes, he is really not good enough.”

Little Paimeng looked at Ye Lan with a bit of admiration: "It seems that we just need to follow Ye Lan!"

"By the way, has Ye Lan not been going to work recently?" Ying asked, changing the subject.

Ye Lan frowned and looked at Ying: "Why do you say that? Am I not working?"

"Well, I saw Saphir calculating wages a few days ago, and he deducted your money for being late and leaving early." Ying stretched out her right hand and raised her fingers upwards, "Also, you were recorded as absent from work for... 15 days."

"Uh..." Ye Lan's expression almost collapsed. She had been out of town for something a while ago, so she didn't go to the Yanshang Tea House. She thought Nadia was so familiar with her that it was unreasonable for her to remember her absence from work. Unexpectedly...

Although she didn't really care about the position at Yanshang Tea House, she was still very upset about the salary deduction. In fact, Safir was very generous to her and the salary he gave her was indeed not low, so much so that she was a little reluctant to leave.

However, Ye Lan felt that Safir did this on purpose, just to disgust her. As for absenteeism or even dismissal... this should be impossible.

After calming down, Ye Lan rolled her eyes at Ying and said, "Focus on it and don't talk about irrelevant topics."

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry." Ying admitted her mistake honestly.

Ye Lan rubbed his brows and wanted to continue, but then paused: "Where was I just now?"

"You said that person's rank is low and he's not good enough in front of you." Little Paimeng reminded.

Ye Lan immediately recalled: "Yes, look here, since he is seeking safety, he will definitely choose a route with relatively lush vegetation along the way, but not so much that the bushes or branches will be broken."

As she spoke, she led Ying and little Paimon to a bush in front of them. There was a small mark there that was extremely easy to ignore. "Did you see it? It's very shallow, but very unnatural. It's the mark left by a heavy object dragging through the vegetation. It means we are heading in the right direction."

Ying looked in the direction of Ye Lan's acceleration and indeed discovered some slight unnaturalness. It was not obvious, but Ye Lan still found it.

Her opinion of Ye Lan has been elevated to a higher level. This woman with side bangs is indeed very powerful and an intelligent character.

The three continued forward and soon found another clue. Ye Lan squatted on the ground, touched the ground with his hand, and said, "The opponent's speed has increased... Generally speaking, when carrying heavy objects, the more physical strength is consumed, the more you go.

I guess this abnormality is related to "psychological factors", such as... we are almost at the base."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying saw a familiar tent on a stone platform not far away.

"It's the tent of the Treasure Stealers!" Little Paimon exclaimed, "Damn it, why is it the Treasure Stealers again! The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and they don't know how to behave themselves."

Ye Lan crossed her arms across her chest. Everything was as she expected: "Let's go and catch them all."
