Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

"what?"

"How long have I slept?"

Paimeng opened his eyes in horror, and when he found the familiar "Qiujin Amusement" stalls around him, he realized that he had been tricked by Jiang Yi.

"hateful!"

"Why do I faint when you're next to me?"

The first thing she did when she woke up was to question the suspicious Jiang Yi.

Until now, her head is still dizzy.

"Who is that ghost who made the surroundings so dark, with ghost lights flickering everywhere and black fog swirling around? Could it be your men?"

"There is no description of this monster or ghost in the Hundred Demons Record?"

Although it has been delayed for a long time, Jiang Yi's "Record of One Hundred Ghosts" is still being updated by Inazuma. Because it has a detailed record of the stories of ghosts' lives that are not in Inazuma's traditional "Monster Atlas", and it focuses on warmth rather than horror, it is very suitable as a bedtime reading for those who are timid at heart but want to learn about ghosts.

It was also the first time that everyone learned that the ghosts in the legends were not all bad, man-eating, or scary... They had the same joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as separations and reunions as humans.

There are many stories that make people happy and sad together.

The Lord of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons also said that he was not the creator of the story, but a recorder.

Every story and every living being is eternal because they are “remembered”.

Paimeng shuddered, and saw Ying, Xiao Gong, Kamisato Ayaka, and...

Her heart stopped and she almost fainted again.

The "ghost" from before was actually looking at her with concern.

"Are you okay?" The ghost said in a pleasant voice, "I'm sorry! This is the 'Test of Courage'! It's our job to scare people, and I didn't mean it."

Of course, Paimon’s fainting was not actually caused by being frightened, but by inhaling the “strange floral scent”.

This "floral fragrance" is better than "sleepy black tea".

It's a kind of witchcraft.

As for why the others didn’t faint... it wasn’t because the little bread fungus was partial, but because the lightbulb Paimon was not self-aware!

So... Jiang Yi was careless and failed to protect her.

The child had already had his snacks and played in the hot springs, and now he had to sit at the same table with Yandora and Slusha so that he could do adult things.

So, don't blame me for "sending a blindfolded expert to assassinate you. Paimon."

When there is danger, Jiang Yi is the safest support, but when there is no danger, Jiang Yi is the biggest danger... Paimeng recalled this truth belatedly.

At this moment, Jiang Yi definitely did it on purpose.

Bully her every day.

If she could "transform" in a fit of rage... she would punch Jiang Yi and send him flying to an alien planet.

Now I am angry and can only do it in anger.

Paimon looked at the blindfolded master, no! A ghost.

The enchanting crimson flower has light-colored stamens, like a pupil, and the other eye that is not "covered" is scarlet.

Her long black hair was like dark clouds reaching her waist, her bangs half covered one side of her forehead, and a red knot was tied around her neck.

Like the other people out there, she was wearing a "yukata" that was worn during festivals. The color of the yukata was made up of large blocks of black and blood-red patterns, with pink cherry blossoms as embellishments, and a white waistband to show off her waist.

Her temperament is gentle, yet she carries an indescribable sense of melancholy that is “mono no aware”.

The whole "ghost" has a sense of pessimism.

"Fortunately Jiang Yi caught you when you fainted, otherwise you would have fallen to the ground." Ying breathed a sigh of relief. "I know you have a lot of questions, but don't rush to ask them, because... I don't know this Miss Ghost either."

She looked at the "female" ghost in front of her with scrutiny.

Good looks and unique temperament.

Are they Jiang Yi's men?

"The Record of One Hundred Demons..." The ghost answered Paimon's question first, "How can a 'little demon' like me be qualified to leave my real name on it?"

This is not right! Ying and Paimeng thought to themselves, Jiang Yi is not someone who cares about the strength of monsters.

"My name is 'Chizuru Hanyuda', and I'm very happy to meet His Majesty the God, Miss Kamisato, Miss Yomiuri, and this Miss Ying and Miss Paimon." Chizuru Hanyuda said her own name, which was naturally not her real name, but a name she imitated from a human.

This was the first time she saw the world-famous God of Man, His Majesty the Lord, at such a close distance.

"Hello, Ms. Hanyuda Chizuru!" Kamisato Ayaka nodded and asked politely, "Are you the stall owner here?"

"This... I should call it 'substitute stall owner'." Hanyuda Chizuru scratched her head, "I am just looking after the stall. The real stall owner is someone else, or rather, someone else."

"The third round of the 'Test of Courage' has ended. They should be back soon."

Paimon was surprised. "Huh? Doesn't this mean that the scores of the three rounds of competition have come out and the champion has been decided? Who is it?"

"An unknown girl." A strange voice interrupted the conversation. The person who came was a short boy with reddish-brown hair and trousers, wearing the Eye of the Wind Element God.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Divine Lord, Princess Bai Lu."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shikanoin Heizo and I'm a detective."

"It is under the command of the Heavenly Leader."

"I have received a commission and am currently investigating a suspicious incident before the start of the 'Test of Courage' as a personal matter."

"Because this matter involves the game 'Akitsu Yugai', I am taking the liberty to step forward."

"I'm so sorry to bother you."

Ying and Paimon looked at the person who came: "Is it you?"

As masters of tasks and commissions in various countries, Ying and Paimon know dozens of people in each country.

A detective who just happened to meet this Inazuma.

I still remember that the other party was the undisputed number one case solver in Tianling.

He often appears at crime scenes, seemingly free and undisciplined, not working, but he always relies on his wild imagination, meticulous logical reasoning ability, and investigative intuition that amazes others to solve various difficult cases first.

The other person's cousin, the shrine maiden Nana Kano, is the caregiver of Hayateu.

"It turns out to be Mr. Heizo..." Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

The two were just nodding acquaintances, but Kamisato Ayaka remembered that her brother had a very high opinion of this person.

"Shikanoin Doshin is a man of quick wit and intelligence. Although he is arrogant and boastful, he still has natural talent. It is a blessing for us to have such a great man in the Tenryo Bugyo." Kamisato Ayato once praised Shikanoin Heizo in this way.

As for Tongxin, it is a position carried out by Tianling.

Jiang Yi knew this person from the files of Kaiji Island on Mingshen Island.

During the period of hostility between Kaijima and Narukamijima, this person was a special person who needed extra attention.

He looks like a smart guy, but in fact he is a man of both civil and military talents, with extraordinary martial arts skills.

Legend has it that there was once a free martial arts competition held in the Tenryo Bugyofu. There was no limit on weight class, style, or weapon. The one who could knock the opponent off the fifty-step platform by any means would win.

This person entered the finals with his bare hands.

Finally, Kujo Sara personally came out and commented: "Shikanoin Doshin is as light as a swallow, his fists can fight swords, and he is hard to beat in close combat. Only those who are proficient in bows and crossbows can defeat him."

He invited Shikanoin Heizo to a duel. Neither side used the Eye of God. Within the 50-step platform, whoever touched the other's body first with Sara's arrow or Heizo's fist would win.

Kujo Sara took out a straw bow and shot an arrow. Incredibly, Shikanoin Heizo snatched the arrow with his bare hands and caught it two fingers away from his heart. The arrow was trembling like a snake choosing its prey.

Then admit defeat.

"My victory is based on the rules. I have rarely seen anyone who can snatch my arrow with bare hands. If it were an actual fight, the outcome would be hard to predict." This was the praise from Kujo Sara at the time.

Not long after that, Heizo Shikanoin also won the martial arts tournament championship.

"The thing you are talking about, couldn't it be... someone was playing games on the beach and got trapped for several hours?" Xiao Gong suddenly thought of something that could be called a "case" and investigated by a detective.

Chizuru Hanyuda's expression changed.

"Yes!" Shikanoin Heizo nodded, "I have met that man, and he is obviously hiding something, but I have obtained the testimony of his companions, indicating that this is true."

"Ms. Hanyuda Chizuru, do you have any clues?"

"Ah! I'm sorry again for hearing your conversation."

He looks well-behaved and polite, but in fact he never follows the rules.

Many people knew that Shikanoin Heizo didn't follow the rules very well. His greatest superior, Kujo Sara, had repeatedly reminded him, "If you are willing to follow the rules more, you will achieve great things."

Unfortunately, Heizo is a person who often ignores everything once he throws himself into a case.

Therefore, Kamisato Ayato commented that he was "arrogant and unrestrained because of his talent."

Hmm! Inazuma's genius detectives are indeed very unique. Jiang Yi was not annoyed by the other party's interruption.

Because the ones who appeared here were not gods that made people tremble with fear! Instead, they were just a few ordinary people who were on a date.

Heizo Kanoin also knew this, which is why he stepped forward like this.

Although he did not abide by some corrupt rules, he still understood etiquette. If it was a formal occasion, he would not disturb His Majesty the God and Princess Bai Lu like this.

The God likes "the king and the people to have fun together", so he naturally came up to disturb them as if he were an ordinary person.

Give… um! Some interesting things that happened during the trip to His Majesty the God and Princess Egret, who are on a date, and I think I am helping others.

Didn't Princess Egret wear the Fontaine costume during the daytime test of courage? Miss Ossitz is a detective and a colleague. Maybe she also likes "reasoning"?

He had begun investigating in the morning and now seemed to have grasped the final piece of the puzzle.

Chizuru Hanyuda glanced at Jiang Yi. She had indeed done some things but did not report them, because theoretically speaking, she was not a working member of the "Test of Courage". The games here were not actually part of the "Test of Courage", but another activity that was not responsible to the company.

The organizer is not human either.

It was just that the organizer of the "Test of Courage" promoted this event as part of the "conference" to hide the plot. She actually had some complaints in her heart, but she couldn't change the decision of the monsters above.

But if we want to know who is the highest person in charge of this "hidden activity", it should actually be the leader of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, His Majesty Jiang Yi.

"Eh? You ask Miss Chizuru. As the acting stall owner, if she has never left the stall, she would know the case you mentioned... Wait, it seems that the case might have been caused by Miss Chizuru..." Paimon looked at the woman in yukata.

"It's just that Ms. Chizuru can be scary, but she doesn't seem like she would 'overdo' tourists! Trapping people for hours."

She still remembered the other person's concerned and apologetic look when she woke up.

"Is there some misunderstanding here?" Xiao Gong said, "Don't worry, Miss Qianhe, we won't wrongly accuse anyone. If it's a problem with the tourists... just tell us."

Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka looked at Hanyuda Chizuru.

"Actually... it's like this." Hanyuda Chizuru said frankly, "... that bastard was extremely greedy and wanted to steal the decorations displayed at the Akitsu Amusement Park and sell them at a high price. So I used my demonic power to punish him and teach him a lesson."
