Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

A group of people conducted a survey in Aru Village, asking local residents if they knew any clues about the disappearance of the village guard.

Paimon muttered, "But there's basically no useful information, and there's a kid following us."

Candice touched the child's head and told him to go play somewhere else.

But Isaac shook his head and said, "I think you are all great. I want to follow you so that I can see grandpa."

Candice sighed and explained the child's situation, "Isaac lived with his grandfather at first, and after his grandfather passed away, he ate at other people's houses in the village."

"Later, an elderly mad scholar came here. Isaac thought the scholar looked very much like his grandfather, so he often went to peek. In the end, Isaac took the mad scholar home and took care of him as if he were his own grandfather. The two depended on each other for survival."

Paimon sniffed, feeling touched and sad.

Candice was very calm. "Everyone in the desert has their own difficulties in life, but even so, we have to continue living." She fights for protection.

Isaac said: "Grandpa sometimes wakes up, and he teaches me to recognize the stars in the sky and stays with me until I fall asleep. Grandpa is the best grandpa!"

Su and Kong looked at each other, their expressions speechless.

Nashida, why are you still responsible for being someone's grandfather?

As expected, Nashida loved children very much. She always gently embraced the children's hearts and gave them loving care, no matter whether they were in a desert or a rainforest.

A guard came to Candice and whispered something to her.

Candice nodded and said, "I'll leave Isaac in your care. Dishia, come and do me a favor."

Candice and Dishia left, and Isaac led the traveler team and two brothers who were high officials of the Order to a more remote house. "Sister Shani has a keen hearing, she might know something."

Xia Ni was frightened by the working state of Seno, and praised him with a dry laugh, "Wow, what a courageous look! You, you look like the type who is good at fighting!"

Sino still had a stern expression, "Don't go off topic."

Xia Ni twisted her hands, "You said guard... No, the mad scholar, the last time I saw them was three or five days ago. Because I go to bed very early, I basically can't see what happens at night."

"Although they are crazy, they have helped me. It was little Isaac's grandfather who protected my house! I saw it clearly."

"But I don't know more. I'm sorry, I don't have any more information to provide you."

Seno glanced at the shadow of the house and said, "Something happened. I'm leaving now."

After Senuo left, Xia Ni seemed relieved. "Um... you guys still have things to do, right? I won't bother you any more."

"Yes! Thank you, Ms. Shani." Paimon turned and called his friends and El Haisen, "Let's go ask somewhere else. Um, why aren't you moving?"

Elhaisen glanced at the innocent Paimon.

Paimon: "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you say anything?"

Elhaisen said slowly, "You never seem to think before you ask a question. I'm giving you time to make up for it."

Paimeng got angry after being scolded, "You! Ah, I'm so mad, I'm going to give him an ugly nickname!"

Su encouraged from the side, "Get up! It has to be something unpleasant!"

Paimon tried hard for a while, "Uh, uh... forget it, I can't think of it... Although this guy is very handsome, he doesn't have any obvious characteristics. It's hard to summarize."

Su: "Tsk, Paimon, it's fine if you can't come up with a nickname, but why are you praising me?"

She came to get it, the headphones are weird!

Um... no, no, this guy has helped me with headphones, and they are good headphones, so this nickname is not okay.

Elhaisen was able to change the subject. "We can put the nickname issue aside for now. What's important now is finding clues, right? The clues are right here."

Paimon: "Eh, really? Where is it? Where is it? Why aren't you talking again?"

Paimon was so amused that he even began to doubt himself and asked his friends, "Is it because he has music playing in his headphones that he can't hear me talking?"

Sue showed Paimon the headphone port she had just unplugged and pushed Elhaisen, "This guy did it on purpose, he's teasing you."

Elhaisen looks like a serious person, but he actually likes to see others jumping for joy because of him. What a bad taste!

"He pretended to be deaf very vividly," Su Gaizhang concluded, "This guy must be a veteran actor."

Veteran actor El Haisen pulled the headphone cable from the girl's hand, reconnected it to the Walkman in his waist bag that was not playing any music, and looked at Xia Ni, who was left aside by them, at a loss but did not dare to leave.

"People in Aru Village have different views. Many people accept the village guards, but there are also many people who actually hope that they will disappear and never come back."

"The person who was secretly monitoring you has been taken away by Senor and dealt with. Now you can tell us the news you hid."

Sora nodded, "I can sense that she actually hopes that the people guarding the village are safe, but she doesn't dare to share the information she knows."

Paimon finally understood, "So Miss Shani has the real clue but is hiding it from us?!"

Xia Ni laughed dryly, "Ha...haha, what are you talking about..."

"Don't play dumb." Elhaisen ended her excuses and stated his judgments one by one, laying them out in front of everyone.

El Haisen: "At the beginning, you were very afraid of Senor. You were afraid of his identity and strength. It also proves that you have heard the rumors and reputation of the great disciplinary officer in handling cases."

Paimon: "Oh, that's right! Miss Shani praised Seno for his courageous eyes and said he was a good fighter." Doesn't their Traveler Team seem to have high fighting power?

El Haisen: "Then, you changed the way you addressed the village guards. You changed it deliberately because you knew very well that there were loyal supporters of the Red King in the village. If you act too close to the village guards, you will easily become a target for radicals."

Paimon: "It seems so! Miss Shani is sincerely grateful to Isaac's grandfather, but she calls him a... crazy scholar."

Elhaisen: "Besides, you also specifically emphasized that you went to bed early and couldn't see what happened at night. But the village guards protected Aru Village in the middle of the night."

Paimon: "Oh, that's right! It happened in the middle of the night! Ms. Shani saw that it was Grandpa Isaac who helped! And how can you sleep when there's a disaster? It's not K..."

Kong covered Paimon's mouth and said, "Alright, stop talking about Paimon. You're almost becoming El Haisen's supporting actor."

Completely exposed, Xia Ni held her head and thought for a long time before giving up and telling the truth, "I... am actually a mixed-race of desert people and rainforest people. I am probably the most unpopular person in Xumi."

Some people believed in the Grass God, some believed in the Red King, and she did not belong to either of them. So to people on both sides, she was very redundant and even discriminated against by her compatriots.

"You were investigating the missing village guards in Aru Village with great fanfare. As soon as Candice left, I was immediately monitored by the radicals in the village."

"Now they are being targeted by the big disciplinary officer and they are busy with their own affairs. I have been exposed, so I will tell you what I know."

There is an abandoned hospital not far from Aru Village. Xia Ni has heard faint crying sounds coming from there.
