Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Chapter 157 Liyue Port

For Li Mochen, the profession of "errand runner" is something he is very familiar with.

Ever since he came into this world, he has been running errands for others.

He was running around so much that he almost lost contact with the other world, and his legs were almost broken from running so much.

The task assigned by Shenhe that he had taken on now was just to add to his long experience of running errands.

Fortunately, these errands are not completely useless, so Li Mochen didn't care too much about it.

"Okay, I'll go gather those immortals over... By the way, how many immortals are there in Liyue?"

Although Li Mochen had seen many immortals, he was not sure how many immortals there were in Liyue.

"Master Lishui Dieshan, Master Xiaoyue Zhuyang, Master Xianlin Shouyue, Great Sage Jiangmo, Sister Ping, that's all."

The people Shenhe mentioned were all her old friends among the immortals. These were almost the only immortals left in Liyue.

If we count the current Qiqi, the "True Lord of Rescue from Suffering and Despair" and the divine crane itself, there are a total of seven immortals.

The seven great Lords gathered together to hold a meeting of the immortals. This scene must have been quite spectacular.

"Just these few?"

However, Li Mochen shook his head with a puzzled look on his face, seeming to have some doubts.

In addition to the True Lord Lishui Dieshan and the True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang mentioned by Shenhe,

Li Mochen knew and had seen most of the immortals.

But he didn't believe that there were only a few immortals in Liyue. There must be at least one unknown immortal.

"Not really. How many immortals do you think there are in Liyue?"

"I'm afraid there is at least one more. I once met a gentleman in the Hall of Rebirth in Liyue Harbor who might be an immortal."

At this moment, Li Mochen thought of the mysterious Mr. Zhongli.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Mr. Zhongli exudes a strong immortal aura.

Especially for someone like Li Mochen who often deals with immortals, his extraordinaryness can be seen almost at a glance.

Although the "Daoyou System" has not yet responded, he firmly believes that Zhongli is very likely to be an immortal.

"The Hall of Rebirth? Where is that?"

"It is...a place where funeral arrangements are made."

"Why is that man staying in the Hall of the Dead? Did someone in his family die?"

"Not really. That Mr. Zhongli is actually a consultant for Wangsheng Hall and works there."

Hearing this, Shenhe couldn't help but sneer, making a disdainful sound through his nose.

"Are you kidding? How can an immortal work in a place like the Hall of Rebirth? Do they have to escort people to the afterlife all day long?"

"It's not uncommon to see someone off to their grave."

"This is unprecedentedly rare. I know the immortals of Liyue very well. No matter whether they are alive or dead, they will not choose to work in the Hall of the Dead."

Since more than three thousand years ago, the number of immortals that Shenhe knew could probably fill a basket. She knew the personalities of the immortals very well.

Generally speaking, immortals are a group of people with noble character who are not contaminated by the mundane world.

Especially after the war, most immortals chose to retire from the world.

Even the very few immortals like Grandma Ping and Xiao only hide in the world and have no intention of getting involved in human affairs.

However, Li Mochen told Shenhe that the "Mr. Zhongli" who seemed to be an immortal actually worked in a secular company?

It’s not just an ordinary company, but he is actually working in a funeral company?

This is too outrageous, how is it possible?

How could an immortal with the leisure time go to the Hall of Rebirth to be a consultant? This is really unacceptable.

Therefore, Shenhe determined that Mr. Zhongli was definitely not an immortal.

But if Zhongli is not an immortal, why does he give Li Mochen a different feeling?

"So, the identity of that guy named Zhongli is probably not simple... huh?"

Shen He completely trusted Li Mochen's feelings. Since he felt that there was something wrong with that person, there must be something wrong with that person.

It was at this moment that she thought of a surprising possibility.

Wait, Zhongli has lived in Liyue Harbor for a long time and also worked in a special enterprise like Wangsheng Hall.

Could it be possible that this guy was related to the assassination of the Emperor?

Suddenly, Shenhe seemed to have found a new idea.

Zhongli gives people a feeling of an immortal, but this does not mean that he is an immortal.

The title of "immortal" is actually just a respectful title, and its essence is not much different from that of "demon god".

For example, many monsters in the Liyue region in the past, the kind and merciful ones were called "fairy beasts", and the evil ones were called "demon beasts".

But in fact, "immortal beasts" and "demon beasts" are just differences in names, and do not mean that there is a real distinction between immortals and demons.

From this point of view, the character named Zhongli might not be an immortal, but a demon, or a similar being.

A demon? Could it be that a long-sealed demon has broken out of the ground, transformed into a human form and lurked in Liyue Harbor?

"Sister He, do you think there is something wrong with Zhongli's identity?"

Seeing Shen He fell into deep thought while speaking, Li Mochen also realized the source of her doubts.

"Yes, Zhongli is very likely the incarnation of a demon. He is indeed very suspicious."

"Suspicious? You mean the death of 'Emperor Rock' might be related to Zhongli?"

"Maybe. You just saw him in the Hall of Rebirth, and the Emperor was killed not long after. Is this just a coincidence?"

Yeah, why didn't I think of that?

Li Mochen immediately nodded in agreement.

As a funeral organization, Wangshengtang itself is not very auspicious.

Ordinary humans would try their best to avoid such places. How could an immortal go to work in such a place?

So there must be something wrong with Zhongli. He must be different from ordinary immortals.

In other words, he is a hidden demon or a similar large-scale villain.

In some of the literary works that Li Mochen had read before, there had been such plot settings:

A certain big devil deliberately hid in a remote place, but took every opportunity to observe the enemy and better command his minions.

From this point of view, Zhongli is indeed very suspicious, and can even be said to be the prime suspect, and must be strictly examined.

"Okay, Sister He, I will go find those immortals now and bring Zhongli here to ask for clarification."

"...No, that would take too much time. It would be better to split up into two groups."

At this time, Shenhe looked at Klee who was confused and Lisa and Qiqi who were lost in thought.

"You three are also participants in this matter. You must contribute to some extent. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Master Liuyun, I know what to do now."

Before Shenhe finished speaking, Lisa nodded decisively.

The so-called splitting of troops into two groups actually has a very clear meaning.

Let Li Mochen find Zhongli immediately and bring him back, and at the same time let Lisa, Qiqi and Klee go in groups of three to find other immortals.

In this way, the troops can be divided into two groups, which will greatly improve efficiency and will not delay things.
