Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Sue began to find the kid annoying. "If you don't want to buy it, leave."

However, Shikanoin Heizo seemed to be very interested in Choji and kept asking about his situation.

For example, Changci had to go out to make a living at such a young age. Where did his parents and relatives go, where was his home, and how did he survive in the dangerous thunderstorm area.

Changci rolled his eyes and said, "Damn, a mysterious treasure! Because of that, I can move freely on the island."

Su Lai became interested.

Is there any magical armor? You can arrange it for Paimon.

"Sister, do you want it?" Changci said sincerely, "You can exchange it for crystallized bone marrow. I also buy crystallized bone marrow."

Sue: “How much?”

Changci: "I want twenty... No! I want thirty-six crystallized marrows!"

Su took out the crystallized bone marrow and said, "Here you go. Give me the armor."

Changci put all the crystallized bone marrow into a backpack and gave Su an address.

"I'm just a little kid, and it's easy for treasures to be stolen if I carry them with me. So I hid it in a safe place before I left. You sisters just need to dig it out."

Su looked at the detective Shikanoin Heizo who was good at solving puzzles and finding objects, "Where is the Snake God Seven Inch? Take me there." Treasure hunting~

After taking a look at Choji's running back, Heizo Shikanoin seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He took Su to the so-called "Snake God's Seven-inch Treasure Place" first.

Su dug out a box with a shovel, and then found three wilted carrots in the box.

Shikanoin Heizo touched his chin, "These are the food he stored, right? The treasure thing is really a lie."

Before Su could vent his anger, Shikanoin Heizo took the initiative to lead the way, "I roughly know where he lives."

——*——*——

Changci had never expected that the victim would come seeking revenge so soon.

"I don't beat children." Su said that he is a person with a bottom line.

Changci's eyes lit up.

Su's fingers made a crisp sound, "I am "educating" you!"

But the bottom line is very flexible.

Changci ran away with his head in his hands: "I was wrong, sister. I won't dare to do it again. I will return the crystals to you!"

······

Changci, with a big bump on his head, washed rice, vegetables and cooked skillfully. With his full self-care ability, he quickly prepared a nutritious meal with meat and vegetables.

"Poultry meat? This is delicious. Write a recipe for me." Su instructed the children while eating.

Changci, who was huddled in the corner of the dining table gnawing on a wilted carrot, took out a pen and paper and obediently wrote down the recipe his mother taught him.

By the time the child finished writing, there was nothing left on the table.

Inaba Hisazo took out a bowl and handed it to Choji, which contained rice and vegetables that he had quietly picked out before he started eating.

Heizo Shikanoin asked Choji again about his family situation, and Choji was finally willing to tell him.

"There were problems at the mine, many people got sick, many people went missing, and then everyone tried to leave."

"Mom left too. I don't know why, but I felt she would leave very early on, especially on the day when the uncles and aunts at the mine built a cenotaph for Dad..."

"Mom believes that Dad is still alive, and I believe it too. As long as I work hard to make money, I can buy a boat ticket to go abroad and find Mom who is sick!"

"Doesn't the shogunate care about this place?" Inaba Hisazo remembered that the army had sent samurai to pick up the miners and their families. Could it be that this place was too remote and the shogunate samurai did not come?

Choji shook his head, "Mom said we can't get on the shogunate's ship."

His mother left on a pirate uncle's ship. Although the ticket was expensive, the pirates were also moral people.

Shikanoin Heizo held his forehead with his palm, and there were many speculations and emotions churning in his eyes covered by shadows.

Both parents are missing, this child is so miserable!

Su rarely felt any sympathy and handed Changci an apple.

Choji held the apple and pleaded, "Sister Miko, can I ask you for a favor..."

Sue: “Speak.”

Choji looked hopeful: "Washizu... is the chief of Himiki Village. He used to build some shrines on the island to worship and appease the spirit of the snake. Mom used to pray for Dad and me at the shrines. I would like you to go and take a look. Maybe Mom will leave some message for me there."

"He used to be a very good person, but now... he has become weird and scary. I don't dare get close to him." Choji felt that Washizu would do something bad to him.

Changci pointed Su in the direction and warned him seriously: "You must be careful, he is really abnormal!"

Shikanoin Heizo followed Su, "Inaba-kun, please stay here for now. We'll be back soon."

——*——*——

Sitting beside the high shrine was Washizu, fully armed, with his face covered by armor and a demon mask.

Even though the thunderstorm has passed, it's still very cold here.

"Young man, please worship our god," Washizu tempted, "He will give rich rewards to the faithful."

Shikanoin Heizo shook his head at Su, then stood in front of the shrine and clapped and bowed.

During his worship, Washizu did not move except for mumbling something to himself.

After he finished his visit, Washizu kept his promise and really handed him a box as a reward for his visit.

Washizu urged Su: "Miko, come and meet our One who embraces everything."

Su stood in front of the shrine, examining the old shrine.

"······Be careful behind you..."

"Sacrifice! It's time!"

"storm!"

At the same time, Su heard the sound of the shrine's reminder, the sound of Washizu drawing his sword, and the sound of Shikanoin Heizo beating Washizu.

When Su turned around, he found that a large amount of black mist was coming out of Washizu's body, and he looked crazy and frantic.

"His strength has increased!" Shikanoin Heizo wrapped more wind elemental power in his fist, "We can't tie him back properly!"

"Get out of the way." Su raised the White Star Ring and sent down purifying thunder when Shikanoin Heizo jumped away.

The endless thunder did not stop until it split Washizu into a wisp of black smoke.

Sue said, "He is no longer a human being."

It was obvious that he had been affected by the demon remnants for too long, and his entire body had turned into a monster. Even the effect of his death was exactly the same as that of a monster.

Heizo Kanoin checked the equipment left behind by Washizu and did not find any remains of the body inside, but he did find a list.

The list was kept inside the armor. Except for the first few pages that were carbonized, the rest of the papers were intact and the ink was still clear.

The list contains the names, ages and causes of death of the villagers recorded by Washizu.

The causes of death recorded above are all normal situations, including premature death, accidental death, and natural death.

Gradually, the cause of death behind the villagers' names changed to death in battle and death from illness.

In the end, it all became one - sacrifice.

Those who were sacrificed included not only local villagers, but also nameless passers-by and warriors whose only surnames were recorded.

The last page records an unknown foreign boy.

"What?!" Su snatched the roster and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the record behind the foreign teenager: "Seduction failed, escaped."

Su turned around and summoned more Farai, which directly blasted Washizu's remaining armor into half-melted fragments.
