Genshin Impact [Outsider]

Chapter 40: The Easy-to-Deal-With Assassin

“If I can still find it, I will eat my fill!” After satisfying my hunger with hotpot, I still couldn’t forget those plump sand pigs.

That being said, Su Li hadn't tasted real meat for a long time, so she couldn't help but feel a little craving for it.

But no matter how greedy they were, they couldn't get a sand pig, so they could only imagine it in their minds.

The two left the ruins of Star City and quickened their pace, soon arriving near the flyover.

The stars were emerging, the moon was shining brightly, and it was no longer extremely dark. Even without the light of a fire, one could still see the road ahead clearly.

This flyover is made of wooden planks and thick ropes and is built between steep cliffs.

There is a wide gap in the bridge deck at each step that must be stepped over, and these cracks are large enough that an entire leg can easily pass through them.

The bridge seemed unsafe, as it was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see where it ended.

It is like a sky bridge leading to death, giving people an inexplicable sense of fear.

Su Li looked at the disturbing bridge and tried to step on it.

As the wooden boards creaked, the reins of the entire bridge deck were shaking slightly. It seemed that the wooden boards on the bridge were not as solid as imagined.

Su Li reminded: "Watch your step." Then he stepped out from the first wooden board and walked onto the second board.

Looking down at my feet, all I can see is endless darkness and abyss.

They had to be careful at all times, after all, on this bridge, one could fall off if they were not careful.

Su Li knew very well that if she fell into the dark cliff, she would surely die.

“Fortunately, I’m not afraid of heights…” Hotpot stepped onto the first wooden board, and the entire bridge seemed to shake even more violently.

I don't know if such a thin piece of wood can bear his weight.

Su Li was relatively light, so it was not a big deal for him to step on the wooden board. He moved forward easily and soon left the hot pot behind.

Every step Hotpot took made the wooden planks of the bridge make a heavy sound, as if they might break in the next second, which made him nervous.

If only Bingji was here...

Hotpot couldn't help but think that Bingji only needed to freeze the gaps in the bridge deck, and they would be able to cross the flyover without any accidents, and there would be no need to be as nervous as they are now.

"Su, how long will it take for this bridge to reach the end..."

Hotpot arrived at the center of the overpass, looking at the deep dark cliff, and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

He would never step on each wooden plank of the bridge for more than three seconds. After all, he was really afraid that the planks would not be able to bear his weight and would break.

Su Li still hadn't seen the end, but he felt vaguely that it shouldn't be too far, so he replied: "There's about half left, hold on a little longer!"

"I try my best……"

Hotpot has no other choice but to keep moving forward. The road back may be even longer than the road ahead. It would be a great pity to back down now.

At this moment, the entire flyover suddenly shook violently. Su Li immediately grabbed the reins and shouted, "Be careful, hold on to the ropes!"

Hotpot could also feel the bridge deck beginning to shake violently, so he immediately grasped the reins on both sides with both hands and distributed his weight to the entire overpass.

"What's going on all of a sudden?" Hotpot felt a little nauseous. If he continued to be shaken like this, he would vomit sooner or later.

Su Li could vaguely see that not far ahead, there was a black shadow shaking the overpass wildly, making the bridge surface unstable.

"Someone is stopping us from crossing the bridge!" Su Li seized the opportunity and threw a shadow dagger towards the black shadow the moment the bridge surface stabilized.

The black shadow sensed the danger and jumped up at the moment when he was about to be hit. He did a backflip to avoid the shadow dagger beautifully and landed steadily on the reins of the bridge.

Su Li took this opportunity to quickly approach the black shadow, the flower blade in his hand appeared, and he broke through the heavy fog and stabbed with the sharp blade.

The moment the black shadow appeared, Su Li was stunned, and the flower blade in his hand slowed down by half a beat.

The opponent seized the opportunity, leaped backwards, and threw out a hidden dagger in his arms.

When Su Li blocked the dagger, the opponent had already escaped from the pursuit range and landed steadily on the bridge surface, holding the scimitar in both hands backwards, staring at Su Li.

Su Li held the blade and confronted him while quickly searching for a breakthrough so that he could attack again.

Hotpot almost vomited bile after the vertical bridge stabilized. He quickly adjusted his state and no longer worried about falling. He just kept rushing forward.

Hotpot rushed to Su Li and stopped. When he saw the black shadow clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Woman?!"

The black shadow standing in front of Su Li was indeed a young girl.

The girl was wearing a black cloak that completely concealed her figure. When she heard Hotpot's complaints, she immediately tightened the buttons on her chest and stared at the two of them vigilantly.

Hotpot noticed the girl's actions and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you afraid that we will do something to you?"

The girl remained silent, staring at the hot pot more vigilantly, and slowly leaned back.

Seeing that there was no response from the other party and realizing that the finish line was not far away, Hotpot walked forward impatiently.

"Ignore me?! It's inexplicable. Who would care about your flat body? Do you want to fight with us or not?"

The hot pot exuded a fanatical breath, and the big knife shook his hand, and the powerful momentum went straight to the girl.

The girl was as nimble as a civet cat. When she saw Hot Pot approaching, she immediately retreated, always keeping a safe distance from him.

Su Li looked at the girl. She seemed to be only about 1.6 meters tall and had a very slender figure.

Her face was completely hidden in the hood, and she held an extremely short scimitar in each hand, and her movements were extremely light and swift.

She was like an assassin hiding in darkness and serving the light, elegant and mysterious, and Su Li was full of curiosity about her.

She is not a desperate person, nor a survivor of Star City. Then who is she and where does she come from...

If Su Li wants to get the answer, she must make her speak and be willing to communicate with her. However, at the moment, it is only possible to negotiate with her if she is caught first.

"I'll keep her." After Su Li reminded Hotpot, the flower blade flashed and the figure disappeared in an instant.

Hotpot immediately shouted loudly, and his body was wrapped in flames, rushing towards the girl from the front like a ball of flame.

The girl also sensed the danger the moment Su Li disappeared, and when the hot pot was on fire, she quickly adjusted her posture and retreated.

However, when she turned around to escape, Su Li had already come behind her, with the sharp edge of the flower blade flashing, and slashed towards the girl.

The girl stopped abruptly, shielded her chest with her hands, blocked the flower blade with her scimitar, and bounced backwards as sparks burst out.

"Fell into a trap!"

Su Li smiled slightly, and suddenly threw out a chain of lightning to sweep towards the girl, and her figure disappeared again, and the next second she appeared directly at the point where the girl was ejected.

The girl had no way to retreat. At this moment, she had already walked into a fatal situation. She could either confront Su Li head-on or endure the violent impact of Hotpot. These were the only two options she had.

However, the girl chose a path that Su Li had never imagined.

She spun in mid-air, and the two scimitars slid down. Then she landed on the ground and knelt down in front of Su Li.

"I surrender... I have realized my mistake. I beg you to spare me."

The girl knelt with her forehead on the ground, assuming a proper kneeling posture, her entire body completely hidden in the cloak.

Looking at the hamster ball in front of him, Su Li was stunned for a moment. He had to stretch out his hand to retract the lightning chain and surround the girl in the area in front of him.

He originally wanted to wait for the girl to attack him so that he could defeat her with one move, but who would have thought that she would just surrender.

Hotpot rushed over and was a little confused when he saw this scene. He asked, "What's going on? How did you do it?!"

Su Li spread his hands helplessly and said, "As you can see, I surrender."

Hotpot understood and said, "Oh, so you were frightened by my aura, hahaha!"

"So, why did you stop us from crossing the bridge?" Su Li came to the girl and squatted, injecting the Raikage into the girl's body.

The girl shuddered, and then a muffled sound came from the bridge.

Su Li picked up two scimitars and inserted the flower blades into the wooden board in front of the girl. He smiled and said, "Don't move. Hand over the hidden things obediently."

Hotpot came to Suli, looked at the trembling squirrel ball and asked, "What is it?"

Su Li did not answer the question about hotpot immediately, but just looked at the girl quietly.

The girl slowly took out a dagger from her arms and raised it above her head.

"It just fell out accidentally... I really didn't have the thought of resisting..."

Su Li took the dagger, threw all three weapons to Hotpot, then pulled out the flower blade from the wooden board and put it back into the scabbard and said, "Stand up, there's no need to kneel."

Hearing Su Li's words, the girl slowly raised her body, put her hands together and stretched them out, then looked at Su Li pitifully.

"Hmm?" Su Li looked at the girl with confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.

"No, don't tie me up..." The girl said weakly, her tears almost overflowing.

Hotpot's eyes widened, the flames on his body dissipated, and he pointed at the girl and asked, "What do you think we are? Human traffickers or robbers?"

Su Li hurriedly stopped Hotpot, fearing that he would pick up the girl with one hand and throw her off the bridge in the next second.

"No hurry, just explain it carefully."

Hotpot didn't continue to yell, but just shouted helplessly: "Why is this person like this? It was obviously her who caused the trouble first, and now she is acting like the victim... I'm so angry!"

"Let's go up first. This bridge makes me dizzy and I really can't stand it anymore..." Hotpot didn't stay any longer and walked around the girl towards the shore.

After Hotpot left, Su Li sighed helplessly and explained to the girl: "Don't worry, at least we won't hurt you now, he just has a hot temper."

The girl raised her head and looked at Su Li pitifully, tears streaming down her cheeks. She begged, "Don't get rid of me, I still have value..."

Su Li had never seen anyone with such a strange way of thinking. He had begun to suspect that the girl had some kind of paranoia.

"I didn't say what I would do to you, don't cry..." The thing that Su Li was least good at dealing with happened.

The girl wiped her tears and shook her head, saying, "Don't sell me to them. Although I don't have Mora... I can give you something more valuable than Mora..."

What she said became more and more irrelevant, and Su Li could no longer understand her at all. He could only shush her to ask her to stop.

"Calm down, please, and tell me your name."

"Lin Qingqing"

Su Li looked at Lin Qingqing, recalled what she had said, and suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Lin Qingqing... That's a good name. You said you have something more valuable than Mora, so what are you going to use to pay me back?"

Lin Qingqing looked at Su Li's evil smile in panic, and then responded helplessly: "I, I can do anything..."

Su Li slowly moved closer, stared at Lin Qingqing and repeated, "Anything?"

Lin Qingqing nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, anything! As long as they don't catch me back or throw me down."

"That's what you said." Su Li stretched out his hand and touched Lin Qingqing's forehead, and a lightning shadow was injected into her body.

Su Li explained: "This is the Heart-Locking Thunder Seal. If I want, I can strike your heart with lightning at any time, so please behave yourself and don't do anything tricky. Do you understand?"

"Well, I will definitely be obedient!"

Although Su Li said so, it was actually all made up. It was just a lightning shadow that posed no threat at all.

The Thunder Shadow was introduced into the earth after passing through Lin Qingqing's body, so Lin Qingqing had the illusion that the Thunder Seal locked her heart.

Su Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now can you tell me why you attacked us?"

Lin Qingqing lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and replied weakly, "I was afraid that you were here to arrest me, so I thought of taking the initiative..."

Su Li smiled in a somewhat annoyed tone and said, "But you didn't expect the two of us to be so strong, did you?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was wrong. There won't be a next time..." Lin Qingqing quickly knelt down, not daring to look up at Su Li again.

After all, her power over life and death is now completely in Su Li's hands.

"Forget it, since you came from the Dust Sea Cliff, then show us the way. This will give you a chance to redeem yourself."

The Cliff of the Sea of ​​Dust is much larger than Su Li had previously expected. This place is more like a plate close to the cliff, and the richness of the area does not seem to be much worse than that of the inland of the Sea of ​​Dust.

And it just so happened that a man from the Cliff of the Sea of ​​Dust came uninvited, and he would never refuse this free guide.

"I... I can, but I only know the way to Dust Cliff and have never been to other places..."

Seeing Lin Qingqing's humble appearance, Su Li didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

"Okay, get up. Don't kneel down to others all the time. At least keep your dignity." Su Li walked towards the shore without paying any attention to Lin Qingqing behind him.

Lin Qingqing naturally did not dare to run away. Even though she was very skilled, she had no way to deal with Su Li.

Lin Qingqing asked cautiously: "Master...what should I call you?"

Su Li turned around in surprise and immediately shouted, "Don't call me master!"

Lin Qingqing thought for a moment and asked, "Then, boss? Or young master?..."

Su Li stopped Lin Qingqing and sighed.

"You should just call me Master..."
