Genshin Impact: Become a heart-stealing thief in the land of justice

When Yu Shui returned to his hiding place, he just changed his mask and left again from the place that was originally the hidden base of the Brim Hat Society and has now been transformed into the secret prison of Merlot Petersburg... In fact, there are guards patrolling this place regularly. Yes, but the number is relatively small.

It would be easier for Yu Shui to hide... In fact, if he had gone through the normal detention process in the opera house and had not saved each other in the mystery, then he would have been locked up here with a high probability. From the cell.

Criminals of the level of Thief Youlin need special treatment even in prison... In fact, it can be said that what happened in the mystery world changed what was supposed to be the incompatibility between Yu Shui and Leosli. Till death.

Should Yu Shui thank Abyss from this perspective?

Riding the elevator in the abandoned factory area slowly upwards, Yu Shui likes to listen carefully to his heart the most when there is no one and it is quiet... He likes the current situation between himself and Leosli, and he is a little worried about gains and losses.

I originally wanted to take on the role of fighting against the Abyss alone, but because of the design of the guy in the oracle machine, I am no longer alone. Is this also part of your plan, Fukalos?

The lift stopped, and Yu Shui, who was wearing a mask, smiled softly and walked out.

……

"Wow, this is Merlot Petersburg? It looks really nice, uh... but is there no one here to tell us about the rules here?"

At this moment, Sora and Paimon were standing at the entrance of the management area of ​​Merlot Petersburg, looking around curiously. It was the time for screwing in the morning. There were not many prisoners in the management area, but there were quite a few guards.

As Sora and Paimon were secret sentries who sneaked into Merlo Petersburg, naturally no one except Leosley and Xiavore's team knew their identities. Before they took the initiative to find the guards for help...

Sora saw a small newsstand with a "Steam Dog News" sign not far from the entrance, and Paimon followed his gaze and looked over.

"Hey?! Then... what is that, a steam dog newspaper?! Isn't it a steam bird newspaper?"

"Maybe it's an imitator. Let's go and have a look."

In the newsstand called Steam Dog News, Cousteau and Lavelan were shouting very hard.

"Let's take a look! The Fontainebleau has a Steam Bird newspaper, and our Merlot Petersburg should also have its own Steam Dog newspaper! There are daily newspapers, gossips and entertainment gossips from all over the castle!"

“Everything you need!!”

It seems like this is the slogan, right?

Sora and Paimon were new here, so they thought it was quite interesting to hear this, so they stood next to the newsstand for a while.

Unexpectedly...that fat little brother Custus actually stuffed a newspaper into his mouth.

"Hey, little brother, and the elf over there, you two are strangers, are you new here?"

"Huh? Oh yes, we are new here."

Sora didn't react for a while, but responded quickly afterwards. He didn't know whether to hand the newspaper back or keep it in his hand.

"You're right if you're new here. This newspaper records most of the gossip in Merlo Petersburg, as well as many things to note about survival. It's definitely not a loss to buy a copy. It only costs fifty concession coupons!"

Kustu's face was full of excitement in the promotion, his eyes were shining and his tone was seductive. It seemed that it would be a pity for Sora to miss this opportunity... Sora was indeed considering it. After all, they had just arrived. If there was a newspaper that recorded a lot of news, it would really be...

"But, we don't have concession coupons."

"It doesn't matter, you can get credit from me. When you earn the concession coupons later, wouldn't you just pay me the principal with interest?"

"Uh…"

Sora and Paimon looked at each other, and they both saw something was wrong in the other's eyes. Does this "with interest" sound like a trap?

While he was hesitating, a smiling and elegant male voice came from not far away. As soon as he opened his mouth, it seemed to make people calm down and listen to him.

"Aha~ Fat guy over there, it's not a good idea to deceive newcomers like this, isn't it? Apart from some useless gossip, there's nothing real in your newspaper."

Sora saw a handsome but unfamiliar white-haired young man strolling towards this side, holding a newspaper in his hand, with a half-smile on his lips... It reminded Sora of someone.

Even Paimon couldn't help but secretly mutter to himself, "Does this feel a bit familiar?"

"You...how can you say that? My newspaper has already written everything that can be written!"

"Indeed, I shouldn't refute you from this aspect. So... Kustu, has your 'Steam Dog Newspaper'... received Duke Leosley's application to open it?"

"Ah? This...this..."

"That's it, no?"

The white-haired young man curled his lips slightly, seeming to be sure.

"Hurry up and close the stall. I won't report it today. It's a good idea. You two news agents can indeed afford a small newsstand, but you'd better wait until you get Leosley's application, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around. .”

Yu Shui gently threw the newspaper in his hand back into Lavelan's arms. The two prisoners lowered their heads in despair and were about to pack up their things and close the stall... They looked at their packing actions with great satisfaction. When they turned around, they found that Kong and Pai Meng Zheng looked at himself suspiciously.

Some thoughts of teasing them quietly appeared in his mind.

"What's wrong, two friends? I just helped you escape from the treacherous loan shark crisis! Why don't you thank me and take the initiative to get to know me?"

Yu Shui pretended to be helpless or even dissatisfied and spread his hands, letting Kong realize the current situation.

"My name is Sora, and this is my partner Paimon... I just thanked you for your help, but you look a bit familiar...?"

"Look familiar? I have been here in Merlot Petersburg a long time ago. How can I look familiar to you, a newbie in the water? It's impossible, impossible~"

Haha~ Let’s see when you recognize me.

Yu Shui was happy in her heart, but she pretended to be calm and confused on the surface. Her superb acting skills successfully deceived the two simple little guys for the time being...

How on earth did they travel to five countries.

"Then may I ask, sir, are you..."

"If we meet by chance, don't ask me my name... Are you new here? You probably don't know much about the basic rules and hidden rules in Merlot Petersburg... Unfortunately, I have a lot of research in this area. Please give me some help. How about I tell you some benefits?"

"Ah? Please...do you want any favors? Paimon, let's go."

Hearing these two words, Kong's stubborn temper suddenly rose. He turned around and dragged Paimon away, but Yu Shui had already thought of the words in his mind at this moment.

"Oh~ It's true, I came here with good intentions to help, but ended up leaving without caring, that's all~ You have to come to me later anyway, that's all."
