Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"Xinhai, something bad is going on!"

Ying rushed to the Coral Palace non-stop and broke into the palace without even having time to report.

After searching for a while, Xinhai's figure was not found, and he actually broke into her dormitory. This startled Xinhai, who was emulating on the bed, and subconsciously wrapped his body in a small quilt.

"Wha, what's the matter?"

After being forcibly interrupted from the emo and brought back to reality, I was still a little confused. After asking subconsciously, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the person coming was Ying and not the nightmare.

After quickly returning to normal, he asked Ying the reason for his visit in a normal tone.

"Huh...it turns out to be a traveler. Calm down first and tell me slowly if you have anything to say."

……

"That's it."

While describing to Xinhai what had just happened, Yingze was secretly observing Xinhai's state.

She could tell that the other person was in a bad state, as if he was extremely overworked and had to force himself to hold himself up, or he seemed to have the remnants of a mental breakdown.

This was not normal. Xinhai gave her the impression of being a bit like a degraded version of Zuo Xi.

Although sometimes she feels very naive, but overall she can be said to be a strategist who can win thousands of miles away.

Moreover, Yae Kamiko's evaluation of her was not low either. It's not normal for such a person to look like he's completely defeated.

Ying suddenly had a bad premonition... She felt that her trip might be in vain.

"So that's it... As expected, you also know Zuo Xi's identity."

After listening to Ying's description, Xinhai's expression couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. It turned out that the other party had no intention of leaving a way for him to survive from the beginning... But that was not the case, at least he left a way for her.

Xinhai suddenly realized that he, the resistance army, and Haiqi Island may all be tools used by the other party to achieve a certain purpose... Although it is not clear what this purpose is, it is obvious that Ying may be their last hope. .

After realizing this, hope was rekindled in his heart. It's not scary that the difficulty is high. What's scary is that the opponent doesn't give them any chance.

Since the executive officer left a way for Ying, she and Hai Qidao still have a chance to survive.

"I'm sorry, he is my best friend...I will do my best to help you."

Ying lowered her head. As Zuo Xi's best friend, she felt that she also had a responsibility. She had no intention of sitting idly by, and now she was determined to do her best to help Haiqi Island and the resistance find the only way to survive in Zuo Xi's script.

"Speaking of which, you just said..."

Ying recalled what Xinhai had just said, and found that Xinhai seemed to have known something inside.

"Sigh... There is nothing to hide now. The matter still starts from that night..."

……

Time goes back to the night when Xinhai and Zuo Xi negotiated.

"Your goal is Yuanxia Palace, right? The twelfth executive officer of the Fools—[Mortal]."

Xinhai decided to show off his cards. After understanding the other party's purpose, his own situation became clear. An earlier showdown can bring more vitality.

"...Oh, Miss Coral Palace. There is a saying that cleverness can lead to mistakes. Sometimes pretending to be stupid is the way to survive.

In this regard, you are not as good as that fox. "

Zuo Xi was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled. The smile is gentle and casual. The smile... made Xinhai feel scared.

She vaguely felt as if she had made a wrong decision, a decision that she would regret endlessly.

"Yuanxia Palace...you can guess that my purpose is indeed smart. It is also very courageous to decisively throw out all the chips after clarifying the situation.

No wonder you are so young but can lead Haiqi Island and the resistance army to fight against the shogunate. No wonder Yae Shenzi, the fox, would give you such a high evaluation... You are really good. "

While approaching Xinhai, Zuo Xi clapped gently. With every step closer and every word spoken, the uneasiness in Xinhai became stronger.

But reality didn't give her much room to think, because Zuo Xi's chanting wasn't over yet.

“But, Miss Coral Palace, why are you so sure that Yuanxia Palace is my only target?

Why do you think that if I want to take over Yuanxia Palace, I must rely on you, Haiqi Island? Do you really think that your method of breaking the seal is well hidden? "

Zuo Xi continued to approach, and when he said the last sentence, his voice became smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible.

But Xinhai could still hear it very clearly, because Zuo Xi had leaned against his ear, and his breath hit the side of Xinhai's face. It was obviously very warm, but Xinhai only felt cold in his limbs.

The devil's whispers lingered in her ears, and a creepy feeling spread throughout her body.

As early as Zuo Xi pointed out her favorite food, she had guessed that the other party's control over Haiqi Island had reached a very terrifying level.

But at that time, she still had a sense of luck, because the secret method to open Yuanxia Palace was a secret among secrets, and only a few people in each class of miko knew it except for her, the living god miko.

The loyalty of those people is absolutely reliable, and it stands to reason that there is no chance of leakage of this method.

Yes, absolutely impossible...the other party must be deceiving her.

After taking a deep breath, Xinhai had organized his words and was ready to expose the other party's lies. You don't want to make the other party angry, but you also want to let the other party understand that there is no point in cheating on this kind of thing.

But before she could say anything, she saw the confident smile on Zuo Xi's face, and her heart suddenly sounded the alarm again.

It was a step too late to say anything, and what Zuo Xi said next made it no longer necessary to say the words she had prepared.

"Eye, teeth, fins, tail, heart."

Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Xinhai's heart. She could no longer hold on. She looked at Zuo Xi with horrified eyes and staggered back. She didn't stop until she heard the touch of the pillar behind her. Come down.

There is no mistake, he...does know how to open Yuanxia Palace. This means that the biggest bargaining chip in her hand has lost its value, and it also means that her guess about the purpose of Zuo Xi's action was wrong from the beginning.

It means that tonight's negotiation was not established from the beginning... She has never been qualified to negotiate.

Perhaps the other party did have other motives for not taking action immediately, but that was no longer important to her, no matter what the purpose was.

Haiqi Island is completely a chess piece in his hands, completely controlled by the other party. Her resistance and defensive measures are so ridiculous looking back now...

This is no longer a matter of winning or losing. From the beginning, he never regarded himself as a competitor.
