Hearing what Gao Muming said, Paimon showed an expression of watching a good show.

"In that case, let's go with you."

"It's better not to. I'm currently a wanted criminal under the Inazuma Eye Hunting Order. I can be said to be on Inazuma's list. There's no benefit for you to act with me."

In response to Paimon's proposal, Takagi Akira shook his head.

"Why don't you just change your appearance? With your disguise skills, it's impossible for the patrolling soldiers of Inazuma to find out. I really can't understand why you have been staying in the Dust Song Pot since you accidentally exposed the Eye of God on the island."

Ying, who was standing by, expressed some dissatisfaction when she heard what Gao Muming said, and muttered something in a low voice.

"I was originally thinking of going on a stroll around the outlying islands with you."

"I can't help it. Unlike Liyue where people come and go, there are almost no strangers on the island now that Inazuma is in seclusion. Judging from the performance of Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi Shinsuke, he wants to prevent you from leaving the island."

"If I show up openly next to Ying who is already on the key observation list, the Kanjo Bugyo, who has no reason to restrict your actions, will immediately summon and imprison us on the grounds that my identity is suspicious."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Paimon's little face showed a surprised expression.

"No way. Even though that Hiiragi Shinsuke made some rather excessive demands on us, he wouldn't just arrest us outright, would he?"

"I'm preparing for the worst."

Gao Muming continued speaking with a smile.

"Also, I have a small task for you to do."

"How come you've also developed a bad habit and assigned us tasks?"

Paimon said this, turning his head to the side and holding his dissatisfied little hands on his chest.

"This mission is a backup. If the treasure-stealing groups on the outlying islands don't have a way to sneak to Ming Shen Island, and we can't leave the outlying islands immediately, the result of your mission will affect the time it takes us to go to Ming Shen Island."

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Ying also became interested.

"What kind of mission is it?"

"Didn't you happen to have helped the International Chamber of Commerce on the outlying islands before? Go find the president of the International Chamber of Commerce and ask him to use his connections to find someone to take us to the outlying islands."

"Are you trying to get us to use our connections to take the smuggling route between the International Chamber of Commerce and Narukami Island? Didn't you also say that under normal circumstances, no one would risk being exposed to tell us about this goose that lays golden eggs?"

"You missed Paimon. I want the International Chamber of Commerce to contact a merchant who has a 'pass' that allows him to travel to Ming Shen Island normally, and ask him to take us there."

Hearing Gao Muming say this, Ying subconsciously thought that Gao Muming wanted to disguise himself as a member of the Chamber of Commerce and follow the delivery team to get away with it.

"Because of the isolation order, foreigners cannot leave the island at will without a 'pass'. Besides, the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce, which is already in an extremely difficult situation on the island, will not risk angering Hiiragi Shinsuke to help us?"

"Even if the International Chamber of Commerce finds someone to cover for us, we won't be able to get away with it when we are under the spotlight of the Kande Bugyo, right? After all, Paimon is too special."

Hearing Ying say this, Gao Muming knew that she had accidentally walked into a blind spot in her thinking when she was thinking about this matter. With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Gao Muming explained softly to Ying.

"Ying, have you forgotten the Chen Ge Pot we are hiding in? What we need to do is to ask the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce to find someone to help bring the Chen Ge Pot we are hiding into Ming Shen Island as ordinary goods."

"It's just a teapot hidden in the cargo sent to Ming Shen Island. There is no risk. It should be easy for the International Chamber of Commerce, which has been rooted in the island for so long. The only uncertainty is how long it will take for the International Chamber of Commerce to coordinate this matter."

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Ying's eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh.

"Yes, why didn't I think of using the Dust Song Pot to sneak across? I'll go discuss it with President Kurisu now."

Having said that, Ying stood up and prepared to leave Chen Ge Hu.

"Wait a minute, Ying, don't rush to find someone, find a corner and put me down."

In a secluded corner of the outlying island, Gao Muming and Ying agreed to meet here before dusk, and then watched Ying and Paimeng hurriedly run to the headquarters of the International Chamber of Commerce.

After Ying left, Gao Muming stood there and waited for a while, glancing at the corner to the side.

"Ying and I were both followed by someone. The person's ability to conceal his presence was very high, similar to the level shown by those subordinates suspected to be Ye Lan when they followed me in Liyue. It's likely that they are someone from the final mission of Inazuma's intelligence work."

"Forget it, if they want to follow me, then let them follow me. Thomas was originally an olive branch from the Society Commissioner. If Ying and the Society Commissioner haven't fallen out, there's no need for me to take action against the guy under the command of the Society Commissioner."

"Let's find the secret passage first. Although we can get the approximate location through the game, this is reality after all. Trying to find a hidden entrance on an outlying island is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's better to ask the locals. There must be someone among the treasure-hunting groups living near the secret passage who knows the relevant information."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming withdrew his gaze and followed the address in the reply letter to search for the treasure-stealing group near the secret passage off the island that he remembered.

After having sufficient and friendly exchanges with three members of the treasure-hunting group, Gao Muming successfully found the specific location of the entrance to the secret passage.

Looking at the entrance of the secret passage leading directly to a hidden cave on an outlying island, Gao Muming opened the entrance and looked inside, a look of joy appeared on his face, and his eyes fell on the loyal reader who had gained weight because of being carried by him.

"Very good. I am very pleased with your frankness."

After saying that, Gao Muming put the man down. After watching the treasure-stealing group limping away, Gao Muming took a walk himself and soon arrived at the end of the secret passage.

Gao Muming carefully leaned out of the secret passage, observed the surrounding environment, and after making sure there was no ambush, his figure suddenly appeared in the corner of a simple small camp.

After looking at the surrounding environment, Gao Muming knew that he had found the right place and a smile appeared on his face. He walked out of the camp and came to the beach. He found the hidden boat in a hidden corner and nodded after confirming the safety of the boat.

"Very good, we can sneak across to Ming Shen Island directly under the cover of darkness when night falls."

Afterwards, Gao Muming returned along the same route and met Ying who had returned from the International Chamber of Commerce at the agreed place.

As soon as they met, Takagi Akira and Ying couldn't wait to share their good news with each other, and they spoke at the same time as soon as they saw each other.

"Good news, I found a way." / "It's done."
