Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous
Chapter 135: Exorcism (End)
"This is the scene of the crime!" Chongyun led everyone to an alley. It looked nothing special. It was just an alley that could be seen everywhere in "Liyue Harbor".
"What was the specific situation at that time? Can you tell us about it?" Ye Luo asked.
The witnesses who were summoned stood casually by the wall, blaming each other, and it seemed that no one was willing to speak first.
Xiang Ling said anxiously, "What are you worried about? We are trying to find a way to help you and the entire Liyue Harbor solve the problem. You are the only witnesses, and you don't say anything. How can we continue?"
Ye Luo also discovered that they seemed to have some unspeakable concerns, so he patiently asked: "You don't have to feel any psychological pressure, just tell us what you saw. Since everyone has already determined that this is a supernatural event, we won't mind whether what you say is reasonable or not."
One of the younger men was about to speak, but the old man next to him coughed violently, so he immediately lowered his head and said nothing more.
The two groups of people just stared at each other, and the scene fell into an extremely awkward silence.
Ye Luo set his sights on the old man. The old man obviously had some prestige among the crowd. As soon as he coughed, everyone fell silent.
Ye Luo didn't know why he stopped others from telling the truth, but what Ye Luo could be sure of was that he obviously knew something, and a lot.
"Of course, if you know the truth but don't report it, we can't do anything to you. We can only ask Yujingtai and Yuehaiting to question you."
The old man got anxious when he heard this: "Why, are you threatening us?"
The four of them immediately became alert, but Ye Luo's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, without any emotional fluctuations: "You call this a threat? But I'm just stating the facts. We are just an investigation team and we don't have the qualifications and power to interrogate. If we can't get the answer, they will definitely send someone to interrogate you."
"Uncle, is what they said true?"
"Uncle, you can't lie to us. We followed you because we trust you."
"Uncle, we don't want to go to jail! You have to think of a way!"
The youngsters suddenly became a mess, and the old man asked them to stop, but it was of no use.
Ye Luo understood the reason and unconsciously revealed a sly smile.
Walnut was getting annoyed watching from the side and yelled, "Can you please be quiet for a while?"
This shout really stopped these people. Ye Luo coughed lightly and walked to the old man: "Old man, if you have anything to say, it's not too late now."
"After all, the person who comes to ask the question is different, so the nature of the question is also different."
The old man lowered his head, feeling indignant. He glanced up with a sinister look, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and casually raised a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, Chongyun took a big step in front of everyone, took out a talisman, and stuck it in front of them.
There was a loud thunderclap out of nowhere, and Chongyun's talisman instantly produced a huge piece of ice, which blocked all the flying sand and rocks raised by the old man.
Ye Luo acted decisively, took out a handful of seeds from his pocket and threw them out. The seeds took root and sprouted the instant they hit the ground, and the vines that grew from them bound up the old man's body and hands and feet.
Seeing this, a few youngsters turned around and ran, but they never expected that the road behind them had been blocked by the Qianyan Army, and there was no way to go.
Chongyun frowned and stared at the old man: "I don't know which alchemist you are. We learn the alchemist's method to drive away evil and protect the world, not to learn some unorthodox methods like you to harm society!"
The old man sneered at this: "Where did you come from, you little brat? You have only been a Taoist priest for a few years, and you dare to teach me a lesson."
Chongyun answered in a resounding voice, "My name is Chongyun, and I am the 'Tianheng Taoist Priest'. Although I am young, I know how to protect justice. Although you are older, you are disrespectful. Three-year-old children in Liyue know to protect the 'contract', but you don't know. You have done these insidious and treacherous things to create chaos in 'Liyue Harbor'. We came here today to give you a chance, but it seems that it is unnecessary."
Ye Luo snorted coldly: "I have learned the methods of the alchemists for so many years, but I don't know how to use them in the right way. What a waste of my skills."
The old man laughed a few times as if to mock himself: "Yes, I have learned the methods of alchemists for decades, but I am still no match for a few children. If I could also have a divine eye, I wouldn't have to come to this point today."
"Another person who doesn't look for the cause in himself, but blames everything on others." Ye Luo sighed: "With your sick mentality, how could God's sidelong glance fall on you?"
Chongyun was furious: "You have lived to such an old age in vain, and you are bringing shame to us Taoist priests!"
"Even if I'm caught, I won't submit to you! When I get out, we'll fight fairly. None of you can use the Eye of God."
Chongyun was filled with righteous indignation, while Ye Luo held Chongyun's shoulders and said to the old man calmly, "I don't have the Eye of God at all, but your tricks are still seen through. The criminals don't have the brains to commit crimes. You only know a few dirty spells, and you don't have the original intention of a Taoist priest to protect Liyue. You are doomed to fail, no matter how many times you try."
"You used a sleight of hand to create the illusion of a supernatural event, spread rumors among the neighborhood, gathered a crowd to expand the scale of the rumors, refused to admit it after being caught, and even attacked the investigation team. I don't know how long you will stay in prison. If you can still come out of prison safely, I, Ye Luo, will be waiting here."
It turned out that the paper people and straw horses carrying the sedan chair were all illusions created by taking advantage of the dark and windy night. The old man brought a few unemployed prodigals from his family and walked the streets to "Liyue Port", where they openly cheated. Several people staged a big show together, and at the same time took advantage of the recent unrest in "Liyue Port" to create such a scene.
Because the old man was born into a Taoist family and knew some telekinetic techniques, it was easy for him to create a trick where paper figures and straw horses moved on their own. The effect would be even better if some uninformed people happened to see it.
And these juniors of his only need to spread false information and spread the rumors to the maximum extent so that everyone will believe them to be true.
"It's finally over. I didn't expect that the collection of supernatural events that caused such a sensation was actually a bunch of ridiculous man-made farces." Ye Luo shrugged and laughed out loud.
Chongyun felt very regretful: "I thought I could show off my skills this time and let everyone in the family see my growth, but I didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding. Sigh..."
"Don't be disappointed. Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you believe, the future will always become what you hope for."
"Nothing is difficult in this world if one sets his mind to it!"
