Genshin Impact [Outsider]

Chapter 32 Ring of Chaos

Su Li arrived at the door of the main hall, which had already been heavily guarded by servants, and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering or leaving at will.

"Hey, you over there, who are you?"

The two people guarding the door couldn't help but be wary of the fact that a outsider could come here so openly and not be stopped by the patrol.

"Ah, hello, two brothers. I have been invited to join the new army."

Su Li smiled widely and walked quickly forward to shake hands with the two men.

"Oh, I see. Let's go in. The registration office is in the lobby on the first floor."

The gatekeeper made way and signaled Su Li that she could enter.

Su Li didn't expect it to be so smooth, so she stepped into the main hall and went to the registration office to sign up.

The registration staff glanced at Su Li and said with some disdain: "Another one? As thin as a firewood stick..."

Su Li smiled and said, "I am a little thin, but I am definitely a good worker!"

The registration staff chuckled, picked up the registration book and said, "Okay, report your name."

Su Li thought for a few seconds and responded, "Luo Kai."

Without thinking, Su Li knew that she had to use a pseudonym or a fake surname. Since she could not rule out the possibility that someone in this group knew her identity, she had to remain vigilant.

The other party did not notice anything unusual and wrote his name on it.

"Since you are so confident, let me see your performance."

Soon, a staff member took out a set of work clothes and a junior medal of the rebel army, and handed them to Su Li with an unconcealable smile on his face.

What Su Li didn't expect was that the first task assigned to her by this group of people was cleaning.

Although Su Li was somewhat reluctant, she had no choice but to accept it, and then she was yelled at to start cleaning the first layer of stains.

In the huge main hall, there was only one cleaning staff member, Su Li, and there were stains everywhere, obviously no one had cleaned it for a long time.

These guys were clearly trying to fool Su Li, but in order to reach the upper level as soon as possible, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

After working for nearly two hours, this floor was finally much cleaner. Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Hey, Luo Kai! It's not over yet, don't be lazy!"

The waiter curled his lips and said with a sly smile, "The stairs also need to be cleaned properly, so get busy."

At this moment, Su Li just wanted to pick up the mop and hit him on the head to brainwash him.

Su Li held the mop tightly, but it was also good this way, at least now she had a reason to go to a higher level, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity to find Xiao Huiguo.

"Okay, I'll go right away..."

Su Li pretended to be reluctant and walked towards the stairs, then went up step by step.

They looked at Su Li's embarrassed appearance, looked at each other and laughed.

After leaving the sight of the people on the first floor, Su Li immediately quickened his pace and headed upwards.

"Ah, why are you acting like the cleaning lady..."

Su Li sighed helplessly. This was completely different from what she had imagined. She didn't expect the people here to be so corrupt.

Su Li soon arrived at the first floor exclusive to Xiao Huiguo. Just as she was about to push the door in, she found that the door was already locked tightly with an iron chain.

It seems that they have done something to prevent Xiao Huiguo from escaping, but can these things really stop that little guy...

Su Li untied the chain, reached out and knocked on the door gently, and asked, "Is anyone inside?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise in the room, followed by a pair of small hands slapping on the door, making a crisp sound.

"Shuli?! Is that you?" Xiao Huiguo's weak voice came through the crack in the door.

"Yes, it's me! Don't worry, I'll rescue you right away."

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Huiguo was only imprisoned. However, her condition seemed a little delicate, and her voice just now was a little hoarse.

Everything would be clear as long as the chain was opened. Su Li transformed into a shadow blade, aimed at the chain, and cut it off in an instant.

The moment Su Li broke the chain and turned the doorknob to open the door, a black mist rushed towards her and dissipated outwards.

Xiao Huiguo was sitting weakly on the ground. When she saw that the person coming was indeed Su Li, she almost cried with excitement.

Su Li noticed that there was a small cube emitting strange energy in each corner of the room, and the black mist was emitted by these devices.

"My friend, you finally came to save me..."

Xiao Huiguo propped himself up and stood up, forcing a smile as he continued, "I thought I was going to die here, but now it seems it's still too early."

"It's been a long, long time. I miss you so much..."

"I'm glad you're okay. Wait for me for a moment."

Su Li has realized that those small cubes are the Chaos Box mentioned by Lao Xie. It seems that the black fog in the Sand City also appeared because of these things.

Seeing Xiao Huiguo's current condition, Su Li also understood why she couldn't escape by her own strength.

In addition to affecting the Flower Speaker, the Chaos Box also has the Little Wisdom Fruit...

At present, it seems that ordinary people have not been affected by the Chaos Box, but if they live under the influence of chaos for a long time, it may not be the case.

After checking everything, Su Li came to Xiao Huiguo and asked, "Are you okay? You seem to have been seriously affected."

Su Li looked at Xiao Huiguo's shaky appearance and couldn't help but worry about her current condition.

"Don't worry about me for now, but to be honest, I do need help from my friends."

Xiao Huiguo took out a mechanical device similar to a wristband and handed it to Su Li.

"Hurry up and take it, it's a good thing."

Su Li took the wristband and observed it carefully, discovering that this mechanical device was very finely crafted and more like a high-end decoration than a wristband.

A golden gem is inlaid in the center of the device. Most of the gem is covered by the mechanical device, and the exposed part emits a faint light.

The mechanism is lightweight and overall doesn't look as bulky as a real bracer.

"Put it on and have a look. This is a gift from the Flower Speaker! You know, that guy hasn't been willing to give me a gift for such a long time..."

"The flower whisperer gave it to me?"

Su Li was a little curious as to why the other party would give her something for no apparent reason.

The Flower Language Man and Su Li were strangers to each other, and they had never even met each other once. Yet, the other party actually gave Su Li something...

And this gift doesn't seem that simple.

"Hehe, this is a treasure!"

Xiao Huiguo raised an eyebrow at Su Li and continued in a low voice:

"I'm telling you in secret. It seems that it needs your help, but I'm embarrassed to give it to you personally, so I asked you to pass it on."

Su Li said she understood, and then put it on. Su Li waved her arms, and surprisingly, the device was so light that it felt weightless.

And there is no obvious feeling after wearing it. It seems that it is just a mechanical device that is not connected to the main body.

After being worn, the mechanical device can only protect the wrist part. It is indeed more like an accessory such as a bracelet than a wristband.

"Well, it doesn't feel like anything, but it looks like high-tech jewelry."

Xiao Huiguo shook his head, pointed at the Chaos Box and said, "You can use this to devour those black furnaces. It's very powerful, okay!"

After hearing this, Su Li went to a corner with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, and aimed the mechanical device on her left wrist at the Chaos Box.

"How do I use this thing?" As soon as the words fell, a miracle happened.

The gems on the mechanical device seemed to have some special gravitational force, gathering and absorbing all the energy emitted by the Chaos Core.

Finally, the Chaos Box was stripped of its core, leaving only an empty box on the ground.

Su Li was surprised and asked, "Speaking of such a powerful device, why don't you use it to eliminate the crisis directly?"

Xiao Huiguo stamped her feet and replied angrily, "I can't use it... Humph, that damn flower speaker seems to have deliberately made this device reject me. I hate it so much!"

Su Li became curious after hearing this. She had thought that Xiao Huiguo and the Flower Speaker were in a relationship of elder and junior, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Is there some reason why he doesn't let you use it? Maybe he's doing it for your own good."

Xiao Huiguo thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Sand City is so dangerous now, and I don't know what's going on with it..."

Su Li saw Xiao Huiguo's worried look and asked, "Did you have a conflict with the Flower Speaker?"

"No, it's just that these black furnaces have a particularly strong impact on the Flower Whisperer. I don't know if it can hold on..."

"Hmm? Since the Flower Speaker has this device, can't he do anything about those boxes?"

Su Li looked at the device on her wrist suspiciously. After all, it was a demon god who possessed such a device, but he couldn't even handle these boxes. It was still a little unbelievable.

The Flower Speaker clearly has the ability and power to suppress this rebellion, but why did it choose to remain silent...

Xiao Huiguo recalled the scene when he was taken away and snorted, "When those bad guys took me away, it didn't even look at me! Woo woo, I don't know what went wrong..."

"Well... the gods in your country may have their own considerations."

Xiao Huiguo wiped away her nonexistent tears, put on a serious look, and said to Su Li:

"So my friend, I need your help, and I will treat you to wisdom fruit afterwards!"

Su Li looked at the small Hui fruit and said, "Well, but it seems that I can't eat it now."

Xiao Huiguo touched his head, thought for a while and said, "Well... when I recover, I will treat you to a meal first."

Su Li nodded, "Alright, but by the way, is it convenient for me to meet the Flower Speaker now?"

Xiao Huiguo replied doubtfully: "Do you want to see the flower speaker? It is a stubborn person and is even unwilling to leave the top of the tower to save me... I don't think anything good will happen if you see it."

"I want to ask some questions about myself. In addition to Sand City, my country is also facing a crisis and I need help."

Xiao Huiguo looked at Su Li with some confusion, then immediately retracted his expression and hid his thoughts.

"Can you tell me about it... maybe I can put in a good word for you when I meet the Flower Speaker."

"The remaining shadow of the demon god Xing Ji has launched a war against her own country. I must gain enough power to fight her."

Su Li sighed and continued:

"I came to the Sand Region to seek help, but I was ambushed by her before I arrived. Fortunately, you helped me."

Xiao Huiguo nodded seriously and said, "It is indeed very serious. Just like the current Sand City, it is in crisis..."

Su Li then smiled and said, "You are my only friend here, and you are the only one I can trust, my benefactor... although you are still a child."

Xiao Huiguo widened his eyes and retorted, "I'm not a child. Look carefully, I have lived for a very long time. I'm very old!"

Xiao Huiguo argued unconvincedly, but no matter how hard she tried, she was still only about 1.3 meters tall when she stood on tiptoe.

"Haha... Could it be that my friend is an elf? I remember that elves from the forest usually control the power to heal all things."

Xiao Huiguo thought for a moment and said, "Well, maybe... I guess so."

"This is the first time I've seen such a lovely elf. I'm still alive today thanks to you! Thank you, elf."

After Su Li finished speaking, she seemed to realize something, a blush appeared on her face, and she coughed hurriedly, "I just wanted to thank my friend, nothing else."

Xiao Huiguo stared at Su Li for a while, then chuckled and said:

"My friend is shy? I know I'm cute, no need to thank me, hehe..."

Although she said so, Xiao Huiguo still had a smug smile on her face. She moved restlessly around Su Li's back and put her arms around Su Li's neck.

"In that case, my friend, please carry me on your back to see the Flower Speaker. This will be your way of thanking me. After all, I can no longer walk."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Su Li picked up Xiao Huiguo, left the room and continued to go upstairs.

Xiao Huiguo is in very weak physical condition at the moment. Carrying her on her back can prevent her from over-consumerizing her energy and also help her regulate her breathing and body.

"My friend, the sky is getting darker..."

Xiao Huiguo looked at the pale sky through the window. The light of the crystals was a little dimmer than before.

"Well, the current Sand City is like a lost land. Everything was originally beautiful... I don't understand why they chose to rebel."

Su Li sighed deeply, he liked Sand City very much, everything here was like a dream, it was a paradise for hermits.

Countless people yearn for this kind of life, but he really can't figure out why the people here would rather abandon this kind of life and rebel.

"Maybe they are tired of living here..."

Xiao Huiguo put her face on Su Li's back, feeling the warmth coming from her back, and whispered, "Maybe I can't give them happiness."

"People are always driven by desire and then do stupid things."

Su Li glanced out the window and could only see several tillage machines patrolling near the main hall.

"With this kind of technology, why is it so easy to get lost..."

"Friend, the entrance to the summit may be guarded... don't kill them."

Xiao Huiguo was quite aware of Su Li's strength; ordinary people were no match for him.

To be able to barely survive the hands of the devil, one must be very powerful. Xiao Huiguo understands this truth.

At least ordinary people would not be able to withstand an attack that could easily tear the earth apart. Even if it was only one-tenth of the power, it would be enough to kill many people.

"Well, I know my limits and will try my best not to hurt their vital parts, don't worry."

Su Li also understood that Xiao Huiguo was kind by nature. She had helped a stranger like her before, so how could she bear to watch her people get hurt?

"Well, thank you, my friend."

Xiao Huiguo said no more, but just rested quietly on Su Li's back. She had to recuperate as soon as possible...
