Chapter 154

"But because of erosion, they lost their sanity and were sealed by the Geo Archon together with many adepti."

"My subordinates and I have checked carefully and found no adeptus or Archon that fits the criteria."

Hearing this, Childe became even more silent. After pondering for a while, he pressed:

"Is it possible that someone from outside this world descended and is cooperating with Liyue?"

"This..."

The Fatui member hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly:

"That is also possible, but such information is not something we can inquire about."

"Additionally..."

The Fatui member thought about the news they had received, but upon closer reflection, it seemed too outrageous, and they didn't know if they should say it.

"If you hesitate again, I will send you to that madman Scaramouche!"

Hearing this, the Fatui member was terrified.

Who among the Fatui didn't know that among all the Harbingers, only two completely disregarded human life.

One is the Doctor, who is obsessed with human experimentation, and the other is Scaramouche.

If they really followed Scaramouche, they would likely be rotting in some unknown gutter within a month.

The Fatui member hurriedly said:

"My subordinate did investigate the powerful Vision wielders in Liyue and did find one who is somewhat similar to what you described, Lord Childe."

"The person's name is Keqing, and she is the Yuheng of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing."

"She has long purple hair styled into cat ears."

"Moreover, according to intelligence, she was indeed seen in Jueyun Karst previously, and she hasn't been seen active in Liyue Harbor these past few days."

"But she is only an ordinary Vision wielder, compared to you, Lord Childe..."

"Furthermore, her ability is an Electro Vision; although her swordsmanship is good, it is absolutely impossible for her to wound you like this in an instant."

Childe did not respond, but suddenly thought of those Millelith soldiers below Jueyun Karst who had inexplicably become very strong.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly:

"Do you have a photo?"

"Yes, I do!"

The Fatui member hurriedly took out a photo and showed it to Childe.

At just one glance, Childe's pupils suddenly contracted.

Even if he were to die, he would never forget this silhouette.

The purple cat-head!

The case is solved!

The person who almost killed him this afternoon was Keqing!

This silhouette was exactly the same; although Childe was still somewhat weak at the time, he could never forget that silhouette.

Especially since the other party was flying on a sword; how could he forget such an impressive sight?

"Lord Childe?"

Seeing that Childe had no reaction, the Fatui member asked in a low voice.

Childe's heart was roaring like the sea, but on the surface, he was extremely calm as he said:

"Go, have people investigate who left Liyue Harbor on the day the thunderclouds obscured the sun."

"Also, have them check if the Millelith were uniformly deployed after that day."

"Do not focus on the whereabouts of the Yuheng; her identity is special, and it is inconvenient for us to act."

"Have people focus on the cultivation trend that has recently emerged in Liyue, specifically when it started and from where it spread on a large scale."

"First, go and find out which big figures have been absent from Liyue Harbor recently!"

The Fatui member was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said:

"Lord Childe, we already have this information."

"Then speak quickly!"

Childe urged urgently.

The Fatui member hurriedly said:

"On the day of the thunder, no major figures left, but in the early morning, someone saw that half-adeptus secretary of the the Liyue Qixing, Ganyu, leave Liyue Harbor."

"The deployment of the Millelith began on the third day after the thunder; likewise, Liyue's collection of strange resources and the spread of the cultivation trend also began on the third day."

"The exact location of the initial spread is unclear; it seems as if the news began circulating throughout all of Liyue at the same time."

"As for the recent high-level officials of Liyue Harbor..."

The Fatui member paused and said helplessly:

"Lord Childe, we dare not investigate the information of Liyue's high-level officials."

"The other the Liyue Qixing are somewhat secretive and do not usually move around Liyue Harbor much."

"However, that Yuheng used to visit Liyue Harbor every day, but she has disappeared in the last few days."

"And that secretary Ganyu, it is said that she especially loves to work overtime and can handle all the affairs of the Yuehai Pavilion by herself."

"But recently, the Yuehai Pavilion has suddenly become chaotic and has even made arrangements for expansion."

"Looking at it this way, she is also not in Liyue Harbor."

"As for the others, it is unclear."

"By the way, there is also the consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli, whom you asked us to focus on; he also seems to be absent from Liyue Harbor."

Now, the doubts in Childe's heart grew even stronger.

After a moment of silence, he dismissed the Fatui member.

The person who wounded him today was undoubtedly Keqing; even Childe found this outrageous, but he trusted his own eyes.

The suddenly deployed Millelith after the thunder obscured the sun, the public opinion spread by Liyue officials, the large-scale collection of materials, the departure of high-level officials...

These issues might be confusing if taken individually.

But if one connects them with Keqing coming out of Jueyun Karst and then rushing back to Jueyun Karst...

Childe suddenly understood that all the changes in Liyue originated from Jueyun Karst!

And over there in Jueyun Karst, there must be something that allows people to become stronger without using elemental energy!

Those Millelith and Keqing are the evidence.

The Fatui naturally had intelligence on Keqing's original strength.

It was indeed not weak, but it was absolutely incomparable to a Harbinger.

In just a few short days, she went from an ordinary Vision wielder to a powerhouse who could casually kill him?

Who would believe that if it were told?

But this speculation was the only explanation that Childe felt made sense.

So...

Are the Liyue high-level officials who left all over there in Jueyun Karst?

And that Zhongli, whom the Cryo Archon specifically instructed him to contact and whom he suspected to be an adeptus, likely went to Jueyun Karst as well.

Looking at it this way...

Liyue's high-level officials and adepti are all over there in Jueyun Karst.

The intersection of all doubts lies in that thunder that seemed to want to destroy Teyvat that day.

With the doubts in his heart roughly sorted out, Childe felt a headache.

"It's too eerie..."

"What kind of existence could allow these people to become so much stronger in such a short time?"

After a pause, Childe muttered suspiciously:

"Could it be... that Liyue is really practicing immortality?"

100. Ningguang's exploration, grand distribution of Nine Nether pills

Jiang Yan was unaware of, and did not care about, the increasing number of people paying attention to Shushan.

In any case, it did not affect the daily life of Shushan.

Life on Shushan, strictly speaking, could be considered quite peaceful; basically, every day was normal quiet cultivation.

No one felt bored, after all, that feeling of being immersed in cultivation and feeling one's own life slowly improving was truly quite joyful.
