"Besides Ying and Paimon who were informed by Zhongli, only a few other executive officers besides the Ice God of Winter knew about this. Even Gongzi, who was one of the executive officers, was only informed after the fact."

"According to the time calculation, the news of the death of the Rock King has just reached the Mondstadt region. How did he know these secrets that should not be known to ordinary people when he was alone in Mondstadt? Or is there a huge intelligence organization behind this guy?"

"This mysterious guy knows too much. It gives me a bad feeling. I must be more careful with him."

Just as Takagi Akira was secretly speculating about the Deinsleib in front of him, Deinsleib had already asked Ying the last question.

After getting Ying's answer, Dainsleb just said lightly.

"You two really look alike."

"You guys? Does that mean you do know my brother?"

Ying looked at the delighted expression on Dainsleb's face.

Dainsleb looked at Ying, then nodded slightly.

"We do know each other. We were once traveling companions. But now we have parted ways for a long time because of our different philosophies."

Hearing what Deinsreb said, Ying's eyes widened. Knowing that she had found her brother's suspected enemy, Ying subconsciously made a defensive posture towards Deinsreb.

"Although you may not believe me directly, I will not bear any ill will towards you just because of your brother. You don't have to be so wary of me."

Sensing Ying's wariness, Dainsleb spoke slowly and introduced himself at the same time.

"I am currently traveling in Teyvat to fight against the Abyss."

Hearing what Deinsreb said, Ying stared closely into Deinsreb's eyes.

"I met someone from the Abyss Cult in Mond before, and was mistaken for their Highness when we fought. So you parted ways with my brother, is it because my brother joined the Abyss Cult?"

In response to Ying's question, Dainsleb did not give a direct response, but only acknowledged Ying's guess about his brother's identity.

"This is what happened between your brother and me. But there is one thing I can tell you clearly. Your brother is indeed a member of the Abyss Cult, and his status within the Cult is not low."

"It's indeed not low. He is even called His Royal Highness."

Ying curled her lips in dissatisfaction and then looked at Dainsleib.

"If, as you said, you are acting to fight against the Abyss Cult, does your appearance in Mondstadt mean that Mondstadt has been ravaged by the Abyss Cult again after the dragon disaster?"

"Yes, the reason why I came to Mondstadt is because I found traces left by the Apostles of the Abyss in Mondstadt."

Dainsleb nodded and confirmed Ying's words.

"The place where you found the traces, isn't it the alley near the city wall of Mondstadt?"

Gao Muming, who had just come back to his senses, suddenly interrupted.

"I did find traces of the power of the abyss there."

Dainsleib looked at Gao Muming with a serious face, and Ying on the side also looked at Gao Muming with some surprise.

"Then you must be late. The guys from the Abyss appeared there when Ying was pacifying the dragon disaster."

Paimon looked at Gao Muming curiously and helped the people present ask questions that concerned them.

"How did you know?"

"How do I know? Because those marks were left by the Abyss when we were fighting. Do you think I should know that?"

Gao Muming spread his hands helplessly.

"I have a piece of news for you. After the dragon disaster ended, I fought with the people of the Abyss Cult in the Wind Dragon Ruins."

Ying was also somewhat surprised by Takagi Akira's revelations.

"When did this happen?"

"It was the night before you came to the Wind Dragon Ruins to find me. I tortured that guy for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't get any information about your brother, so I didn't tell you."

Ying could only complain about this.

"Strange, is your connection with the Abyss Cult a little too good?"

Paimon on the side also echoed.

"Yes, yes, since the dragon disaster, Ying and I haven't encountered anything related to the Abyss Cult again."

After hearing what Ying and Paimon said, Dainsleb thought about it thoughtfully and then spoke.

"Perhaps you didn't encounter the Abyss Cult because your brother ordered them to avoid your route when they acted."

Ying was very happy after hearing Dainsleib's explanation.

"The Abyss Cult is avoiding me, which means my brother is keeping an eye on my whereabouts."

But the happiness didn't last for a while, Ying looked depressed and muttered something in a low voice.

"But since my brother knew my whereabouts, why didn't he come to see me?"

As Ying said this, she looked at Takagi Akira beside her.

"This time, if your treasure-stealing group had not planned to attack the secret realm controlled by the Abyss Cult, I'm afraid I would not have had any contact with the Abyss Cult until I went to Inazuma."

After hearing what Ying said to Gao Muming, Dainsleb was instantly attracted by the news that a secret realm controlled by the Abyss Cult was discovered, and looked at Gao Muming with some excitement.

"Wait, you discovered a secret place controlled by the Abyss Cult? Where is it?"

Looking at Dainsleib, Ying shook her head.

"We only know this news. The exact location of the secret realm is not clear at the moment. But what we do know is that the secret realm is located in Liyue."

After getting the information he wanted from Ying, Dainsleb nodded.

"I see. After I finish searching for clues about the Abyss Cult in Mondstadt, I'll go to Liyue to have a look."

Ying, who was originally planning to leave, looked at Dainsreb with burning eyes after hearing what Dainsreb said.

"Can you take me with you to the trace of the Abyss Cult you mentioned? Maybe we can find some clues about my brother."

"The Abyss is chaos and destruction. It is an unpredictable, crazy chaos that erodes the foundation of this world."

Deinsreb told Ying about the dangers of the abyss in the hope of scaring her away. After seeing the determination in Ying's eyes, Deinsreb still tried to persuade Ying.

"The Abyss Cult is a minion that serves the Abyss and spreads chaos in the world. Their power is too dangerous. If possible, I do not agree with you going with me."

"Besides, your brother asked the Abyss Cult to avoid you when they acted. It was probably because he didn't want you to have a deeper bond with the Abyss."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore. If you don't agree, I will find a way to contact the Abyss Cult and find my brother."

Ying interrupted Dainsleb, his tone more resolute than ever before.
