Genshin Impact: Emperor

The old woman quickly grabbed her arm, "No! Tallulah! You can't go out! What a good child, my Tallulah, those are black bugs that eat people without blinking! You can't go out, just hide Stay in the hut! They are just doing routine inspections and they won't be able to find you!"

"So, we can't let them oppress the uncles and aunts in the village anymore. There should be an end to this kind of thing. I will distract them, warn them, and let them know the consequences.

I know how to measure, grandma.I will not let them take this opportunity to take revenge and kill people in the village...

I still remember my brother next door being beaten to death just for throwing a rock.

I can't forget. "

Tallulah shook her head and smiled, "Grandma, you can't hide, it's so naive, the village is so big, you can always find me, I shouldn't have let them go last time, but things have come to this... I can only leave Open o If it is found out that grandma and grandpa have protected me, then you will be hurt, this is not my way of repaying."

"No! My Tallulah, there will definitely be a solution... The solution is all thought of!"

"Swallow __"

A sudden knock on the door made the old woman's heart tighten, "Who? Who's knocking...Is it the picket team? Go away! There's nothing to search for at home!"

"Old mother, it's me."

"Alina? It's you, come in quickly."

The old woman hurried up and opened the latch.

Alina didn't have time to wipe off the snow and dust on her body alone, so the old woman held her arm and asked eagerly: "How? How is the situation in the village now? Is it too late for Tallulah to leave now?"

Although she couldn't bear to see the old woman's disappointed expression, Alina still shook her head slowly, silently looking at Tallulah who had already pinned the very long sword to her waist.

"Someone has informed, and the pickets already know that there is an infected person in our village."

"Huh? Infected? Why would they know?! Who, who snitched?"

"I don't know, and it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing now is that an infected person must be handed over to appease their anger."

Alina bit her lower lip, with a somewhat hesitant expression, but finally made up her mind.

She held down the excited body of the old woman, and said softly: "Old mother, my father passed away early, and my mother depends entirely on you to take care of me. I treat you as my own grandparents. At this juncture, I have nothing to worry about." It’s easy to hide, but I’m actually…”

But before he finished speaking, Talula suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute—where's Grandpa? Why didn't you see him?"

She suddenly had a very bad premonition, and rushed out the door.

Alina wanted to hold her back but couldn't catch her figure at all, and stomped her feet angrily.

Tallulah, are you an idiot! ?Let me go out and carry this blame, wouldn't it be 830!I am also infected!

She knew that there would be no good results for Talula rushing out, and the matter could no longer end well.

"Stupid deer.

Hearing that the words in her mind didn't sound like curses, Alina was startled, and murmured a little unhappy:

"Mr. Zhongli, you are the one, you don't care about Talula,

Why are you still in my body?

"Talulah can deal with mere pickets."

"...I didn't mean that, oops! Mr. Zhongli is an idiot."

Alina tapped her own head lightly, as if this could hit his soul, and ran out quickly.

"Stupid deer."

"??? Mr. Zhongli! If you talk about it again, I will get angry!"

"You treat me as a teacher and as a friend.

"??? Both.

"Then, in the future, when you do something that requires a lot of risk, even if it's just a little bit of risk, you must first discuss it with me. You are not allowed to disobey.

Alina suddenly felt a warm current rushing through her heart.

"But you'll tell Tallulah..."

"I won't. I swear by the contract."

"OK then."

She smiled brightly.

"Mister won't lie to me?"

"Do not lie to you.

"I trust sir."

"I will live up to that trust."

"It's actually quite nice to have someone who understands yourself."

"I'm not human."

"??? Although I know what Mr. means, but it sounds really subtle.

Chapter 18 Between You and Me

in the village.

The difference from a month ago was that there were ten members of the picket team who came this time. There were not many people in the village, and a team of up to three people came here on weekdays, which shows how much attention is paid to this operation.

It might be better to say that it attaches great importance to Tallulah or hiding infected people in the village.

After the members of the picket team issued the search order, they dispersed in twos and threes to investigate in the village.Then an old man stopped in front of a line of pickets.

"Smelly old man, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to plead guilty."

"Confession? Yes, speaking of it, there was indeed someone who attacked a member of our picket team last time. That guy was really stupid. He insisted on being serious with these poor bastards, and it almost took an arm."

The picket team shook their heads and laughed, "Forget it, look at your shabby appearance, you have nothing to blackmail, go away, get away, we are here this time to catch the infected."

"I, I am.

"Oh__huh?"

The pickets watched in amazement as the old man rolled up his sleeves, a large area of ​​origin stone fragments adhered to his rough skin.

"Are you...infected?

The people in the picket team were speechless. The information they got originally did not seem to be such an old man.

"Really, I am really an infected person, if you don't believe me, look!"

The old man took out a pocket knife.

The pickets laughed and said, "If you want to use this kind of weapon against us, should you say you are naive or courting death?"

"No, no, I don't have any intention of doing anything to the masters, just take a look."

The old man slashed a gash in his arm with a knife, but the red blood did not flow down, but turned into a red mist floating in the air.

"This is the origin stone technique, right! I am a real infected person! So, masters, take me away! Trust me!"

"I believe."

"Clang--!"

The sound of the sword unsheathed.

"puff_"

The sound of a sword piercing a body.

The old man lowered his head, staring at the sword piercing through his lower abdomen, with a relieved smile on his face.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Infected."

The pickets drew their swords and put them back in their sheaths.

Now...Talulah should be fine, right?Children, live well...

At the end when he lost his consciousness, the old man saw the monstrous flames in front of his eyes, and he shouted angrily, "What have you guys done"?! "

"Uh... ah..."

Tallulah never expected that the moment she rushed out of the house, what she saw was her grandpa who had fallen to the ground and could no longer move. The spray from her body hit the three members of the picket team.

"Fire, fire... ahhh!"

When Alina followed and ran out the door, what she saw almost made her want to vomit out all the food she ate last night.

She saw the smell of burnt clothes and the strange smell of meat from three people on fire. She knew what it was, but she couldn't even imagine it.

"Talulah...you...did you set the fire? Well..."

She covered her mouth and felt nauseous, and quickly turned her head to avoid seeing the plight of the picket team. She could no longer hear the screams of the picket team.

"Tit for tat, grandpa's life must be repaid by them! This is to eliminate hidden dangers for the village, grandpa has done nothing wrong!"

"No, Talula, you are bringing disaster to the village! You are an infected person, and so is grandpa, but everyone in the village is not! They are innocent!"

"Wait... you said, grandpa is an infected person?"

Tallulah's eyes widened in fear, she suddenly guessed what Grandpa's intentions were, guessed that Grandpa was hesitant to speak a month ago.

Alina nodded deeply, other members of the picket team had already discovered the anomaly here and were rushing over here.

"Talulah! Go! Go! Get out of here! Don't come back!"

The old woman cried and urged her to leave. She was hesitant. She wanted to deal with the pickets, but she also understood that leaving by herself was the best way out. Without her, the people in the village would not suffer much.

culprit.

Because only she is infected.

"Let's go, we can only leave now in this situation, if we don't want to make the old mother sad."

Alina hurriedly dragged her to flee outside the village. Seeing the earnest eyes of the old woman, Talula clenched her fists tightly, sighed deeply, then let go, and followed Alina out of the village.

Her power is too weak to protect those she cares about, she must, must have enough power to do it.

The two escaped far enough to come to a small valley that was hidden enough.

Many houses have been built in the valley, but there is no one there.
