Chapter 454 Dilemma
While Gao Muming was chatting in the chat group, Ying, who was supposed to find a way to go to the Mulou Teahouse on Ming Shen Island to meet Thomas, entered the Chen Ge Pot with Paimon with a gloomy face.
As soon as he saw Gao Muming, Paimeng spoke anxiously.
"I'm so angry. Why would that guy come up with such an outrageous commission?"
Hearing Paimon's call, Gao Muming left the chat group and pretended to speak with some curiosity.
"What happened?"
Hearing Takagi Akira's question, Ying softly told him about her meeting with Hiiragi Shinsuke, the head of the Hiiragi family and the Kanjo Bugyo.
"You mean you went to the Kanjo Bugyo to apply for a 'pass' to leave the island, and the Kanjo Bugyo, Hiiragi Shinsuke, the head of the Hiiragi family, received you very warmly."
"The moment he met you, he recognized your identities and started talking to you about your deeds in Mondstadt and Liyue before you even told him the purpose of his visit?"
"Yes, that's it."
After hearing Gao Muming's summary, Paimon nodded.
Ying, who was sitting opposite, slowly spoke.
"Hiiragi Shinsuke was very enthusiastic towards us on the surface, but in reality he was praising me and Paimon with his compliments."
"Then, when I asked for a 'pass', they made some outrageous requests of me, saying that they would consider giving me the 'pass' only after I helped them complete those outrageous tasks."
Hearing Ying say this, Gao Muming couldn't help but sneer.
"Hiiragi Shinsuke is worthy of being one of the three magistrates of Inazuma. He is a very smooth guy."
"Ying, you were right not to agree to the other party. No matter what you do, the other party has no intention of giving you a 'pass'. Hiiragi Shinsuke is deliberately making things difficult for you to dissuade you from leaving."
"As expected."
Hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying murmured something and Paimon on the side suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh? Trying to persuade us to quit? But he was very enthusiastic towards us at the beginning, although the conditions for the commission he asked us to help complete were very strange."
Hearing Paimon say this, Gao Muming chuckled and explained to Paimon.
"Hiiragi Shinsuke was very enthusiastic in getting close to you at the beginning in order to confirm whether some rumors about you were true. His main purpose was to confirm whether you had the strength to fight against a giant dragon as rumored."
"After confirming your strength, Hiiragi Shinsuke judged that you were very powerful. If we angered you and forced you to fight with force, we would suffer a great loss. That's why we used this exaggerated condition to make you retreat."
"Otherwise, you will receive many commissions from Hiiragi Shinsuke that can be easily completed, but in the end, he will say, 'After consideration, we still cannot break the rules and provide you with a 'pass'.' You will be busy working for nothing."
After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Paimon opened his mouth in shock.
"No way? Didn't they promise to give us a 'pass'? How can a dignified Kanjo Bugei cheat?"
Ying shook her head.
"The other party's behavior is not considered as cheating. After all, from the beginning to the end, the other party did not clearly promise us that we would definitely give us a 'pass' after we helped him complete the commission. He just used the four words 'consider it' to leave us a specious illusion."
After hearing what Ying said, Paimeng immediately drew inferences from it.
"Eh? The eldest lady of the Hiiragi family sent a letter to Ying asking us to meet secretly at night. She also wanted us to help her for free."
In response to Paimon's somewhat nervous reaction, Ying shook her head and comforted him softly.
"Probably not. Before she gave me the letter, we quietly checked each other's eyes."
"I see. But can the young lady from the Hiiragi family really help us?"
Listening to Paimeng's sigh, Ying shook her head without much hope.
"Maybe, but it's better not to have too high hopes. After a brief contact, the Kanjo Bugyo Shinsuke Hiiragi, who is currently the highest-ranking person in charge of the outlying islands, obviously doesn't want us to leave the outlying islands and go to Narukami Island."
"And the fact that Miss Hiiragi has to avoid other people at night to meet with us already shows that she has no real power, so she probably can't help us legally."
"Hey? So Ying, are you not going to meet her tonight?"
"No, it's better to go and meet him. Maybe we can get some unexpected gains. At least we can learn about the current situation of Inazuma from the top management of Inazuma."
"It's all about luck."
After hearing Ying's explanation, Paimon's smiling face immediately fell.
"Will we be trapped on the island? No, we have already made plans to go to the Mokuro Teahouse on Narukami Island to settle accounts with Thomas."
As he spoke, Paimon stared at Gao Muming with his big watery eyes.
"Takagi Akira, as part of the treasure-stealing group, you must have some friends in the underworld, right? Do you have any friends in the underworld on the outlying islands? Can you ask them to think of a way for us to bypass the blockade of the Kanjo Bugyo and head to Narukami Island?"
"Well, leave this matter to me. I do have some sources of information in the Inazuma Treasure Thieves community."
"That's great, I'll leave it to you."
Before Gao Muming could finish his words, Paimon made the decision with a happy look on his face.
"I really didn't expect that your treasure-stealing group, Takagi Akira, is so powerful. Even Inazuma has you and a lot of connections."
Hearing Paimon's words, Gao Muming showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
"Well, Paimon, my connections in the Inazuma Treasure Stealing Group are not the connections within the Treasure Stealing Group as you imagine. It's for other reasons."
"Because most of the members of the treasure-stealing groups have their own fixed countries and ranges of activities, the treasure-stealing groups that are far away from each other are not familiar with each other."
"The reason why I am famous in Inazuma's treasure-stealing group is because the series of novels "The Target is the Number One Thief in Teyvat" written by me under the pen name Lost are quite popular among Inazuma's treasure-stealing group."
"Oh, it's the novel you mentioned before whose royalties were in arrears because of Inazuma's isolation."
"That's right. Before Inazuma, when the country was not so closed, I often received messages from readers sent by Yaedo. Some of the people who wrote to me clearly belonged to the old treasure thieves."
"Are you planning to use your identity as an author to contact your readers of the Treasure Thieves Group? Ask them for help?"
"No, with the current tense and high-pressure situation on the outlying islands, a smuggling channel between the outlying islands and Ming Shen Island that is unknown to the Kande Bugyo is simply the goose that lays golden eggs. No treasure-stealing group will easily tell the route to a stranger."
Gao Muming said this and moved his hands and feet under Paimon's somewhat disappointed look.
"I just plan to visit each of the outlying island addresses I wrote to and have a friendly conversation with them."
