Chapter 19: Brother! Don't hit me! If you hit me again, I'll die!

In the real world, Lumine furrowed her delicate brows.

She couldn't quite understand, does this Fatui Harbinger have some kind of serious illness?

"It's a good thing we haven't reached Go Go Go Liyue yet. We must be careful of this person!" Lumine said to Paimon with a serious face.

Paimon nodded in deep agreement.

This Tartaglia doesn't look like a good person at all!

Must stay away from him!

[Kaeya]: @[Tartaglia] Why were you wearing an Abyss Mage's clothes?

[Venti]: You're so hot!

[Gu Chen]: Good heavens, Tartaglia, are you trying to collaborate with the Abyss Order?

[Tartaglia]: I don't know, I don't know, I said I don't know! (Collei·No response)

Northland Bank.

Tartaglia himself was confused.

What kind of tricks was his past self playing?

Why couldn't he understand it at all!

"Can you see what deep meaning my past self had?" Tartaglia turned to look at Andrei, the manager of Northland Bank.

Andrei was stunned, then shook his head repeatedly: "I don't understand."

"Sigh, it seems I can't count on you." Tartaglia sighed.

He could only hope that the video would provide the answer.

According to the plan, he had no reason to do such a thing!

At the same time, within the Abyss Order.

Aether let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest: "Phew, I said so, how could there be such a tall Abyss Mage in the Order? It looks like an Abyss Herald... This Tartaglia, what a tactic, actually dragging the Order into the water..."

Hmph!

Aether sneered repeatedly.

Everyone knows the Abyss Order isn't a good thing, but are the Fatui good people?

Everyone is a villain, but for you to use me as a shield is a bit unethical, isn't it?

"Shameless!"

Aether gave his evaluation.

A group of Abyss Heralds and Abyss Mages echoed his sentiment.

In the video.

Go Go Go Liyue outskirts.

A silver-white spear appeared in Gu Chen's hand, and he asked with an unkind expression: "Sir, what is your purpose in framing us like this?"

"Haha, of course, it's to pull you into the game!"

Tartaglia smiled. Under the sunlight, the smile on his youthful face didn't make him look like a heinous person.

However, his actions were completely inconsistent with that face!

"We don't want to wade into these muddy waters." Gu Chen's expression darkened slightly.

"That's not up to you."

Tartaglia shook his head, saying with a slight smile: "Gu Chen, I know you. I've heard about your affairs in Mondstadt, so I've been paying attention to you, the Honorary Knight. My plans always need pawns, and it just so happens you came to the Rite of Descension today, so I chose you... I heard your strength is great, fighting the Dragon of the East to a standstill. I wonder to what extent your strength has reached?"

As he spoke, a look of obvious excitement appeared on Tartaglia's face. He seemed very eager to have a fight with Gu Chen.

"Is this guy's brain not quite right?"

Paimon asked in a low voice.

"Perhaps it was caught in a door." Lumine replied after a second of contemplation.

[Lumine]: I agree with my past self. This guy Tartaglia doesn't look like a normal person!

[Paimon]: How could a normal person do such a thing! (Baron Bunny·Get away from me)

[Tartaglia]: I'm very sorry, I can probably understand my past self, but don't worry, I definitely won't do this in the real world.

[Kaeya]: After all, it's been exposed, no one will fall for it if you do it again! (Funny)

[Tartaglia]: Hahaha.

[Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Ningguang]: @[Tartaglia] Mr. Tartaglia, I hope your side can cause less trouble in Go Go Go Liyue. This is a turbulent time, if your side does anything out of line... bear the consequences yourself!

[Tartaglia]: Don't worry, don't worry. To show my sincerity and to prove the Fatui's innocence, I can responsibly tell everyone that the Fatui have no plans to assassinate the Geo Archon. Everyone knows the Geo Archon's strength is superb, how could the Fatui be so overconfident?

[Miss Miss Keqing]: You'd better be!

[Tartaglia]: Believe it or not, it's up to you. But my past self is about to fight Mr. Gu Chen, I'm really looking forward to it! (Xiangling·Starry eyes)

Bang!

In the video, Gu Chen and Tartaglia collided directly without warning.

Born from a warrior's intuition, both sides had sensed the birth of this moment the first time they met.

Gu Chen's spear tapped lightly, the tip moving continuously like raindrops. For a moment, countless afterimages of the spear tip appeared in front of Tartaglia.

Tartaglia was worthy of being the youngest Fatui Harbinger; his combat intuition was very sharp, and he dodged attack after attack by a hair's breadth.

"Gu Chen, go for it!"

Paimon flew to the side, acting as a cheerleader, cheering loudly.

"Don't distract him." Lumine patted Paimon with some concern.

"Oh, oh!"

Paimon realized, floating next to Lumine and watching nervously.

More than ten moves had passed between the figures.

After a backstep, the short blades formed by Tartaglia's Hydro elemental energy were shattered. His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and he said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Gu Chen, you shouldn't be using your full strength, right?"

[Tartaglia]: What?! This wasn't full strength? (Tartaglia·Shocked)

"I'm thinking, should I kill you to report to the the Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Liyue Go Liyue Liyue Qixing, or should I consider it after understanding your plan?" Gu Chen replied calmly.

"Hahahaha!"

Tartaglia laughed out loud upon hearing this, his expression turning fierce: "Mr. Gu Chen, do you really think you can kill me?!"

The next moment, an ominous power erupted.

Powerful Electro elemental energy bloomed, and the air crackled, which was startling.

Battle armor began to appear on Tartaglia, who was surrounded by Electro energy, while Gu Chen's expression remained calm, watching indifferently.

[Venti]: Is this a transformation?

[Neuvillette]: Why not interrupt him?

[Tartaglia]: Mr. Gu Chen, aren't you being too arrogant?!

[Gu Chen]: That year, I walked with my hands in my pockets, not knowing what an opponent was!

[Ararycan]: Such an arrogant Nara!

"Then let's end it here!"

The aura on Tartaglia, who had activated his Foul Legacy, became even more ferocious.

His speed became very fast, difficult for the naked eye to capture, but Gu Chen responded calmly to every move.

After dodging Tartaglia's attack, Gu Chen twisted his body and thrust his spear.

Pfft!

The spear pierced Tartaglia's lower back without any resistance. Gu Chen then leaned in, pulling the spear back with his left hand, causing Tartaglia to fall toward him, and threw a punch with his right hand.

Bang!

The punch landed solidly on the Foul Legacy armor, causing it to crack and fragments to scatter all over the ground.

Tartaglia himself was pale as paper, hanging on the spear with a painful expression.

Gu Chen reached out his right hand to grab Tartaglia's head.

[Tartaglia]: Brother! Don't hit me! If you hit me again, I'll die! (Thoma·Kneeling)

[La Signora]: Good riddance!

[Tartaglia]: We're colleagues, why are you being so sarcastic! (Tartaglia·Damn it)

Gu Chen, who had reached out his hand, turned his wrist and grabbed Tartaglia by the collar, saying: "I'm not familiar with this place, killing you might cause a lot of trouble... Now, can you tell me your purpose?"
