Chapter 202: The Vision Hunt Ceremony site! The Raiden Shogun appears!

Kamisato Ayaka had only just received the news and wasn't sure if it was true or false.

However, she and Thoma had agreed to meet at the Komore Teahouse at this time; since he wasn't there, it meant the rumor was likely true.

Thinking of Thoma being treated as the "lucky one" for the 100th Vision Hunt Ceremony, Kamisato Ayaka felt extremely anxious.

Before being a servant of the Kamisato Clan, he was first and foremost a friend she interacted with daily.

They had been joking together not long ago, promising to enjoy flowers and wine if there was an opportunity.

Yet in just a few short days, everything had changed.

"No, I have to save him!"

After hesitating for a moment, Kamisato Ayaka finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

She would never sit by and watch her friend's Vision be taken away, eventually becoming a walking corpse.

At that point, living might be no different from death.

The Traveler quickly stopped her.

"If you go yourself, wouldn't that mean the Yashiro Commission is going to be an enemy of the Raiden Shogun?"

Paimon chimed in: "That's right, if you openly defy the Raiden Shogun, those ordinary people in the Yashiro Commission will also be implicated."

"There's no other way; time is running out, the ceremony is about to begin, and I cannot just give up on Thoma."

Kamisato Ayaka turned her head; although she knew her impulsive behavior might bring extremely terrible consequences, it was impossible for her to abandon a friend.

Seeing her firm appearance and sad expression,

The Traveler thought carefully and said solemnly: "He is also my friend; I will go save him."

"But..."

"You said there isn't enough time, right?"

Facing the Traveler's "trust me" expression, Kamisato Ayaka had no choice but to nod: "Hmm, alright, I will wait for you all to return safely."

"Don't worry, when it comes to a friend, we will definitely not fail."

Paimon patted her chest with great certainty; after all, until now, they hadn't failed a mission yet.

Looking at the success rate alone, that was indeed the case.

However, if Luo Li were here, he would probably advise Paimon to stop jinxing things.

People who say such things usually don't end up well.

"Traveler, this is very dangerous; the Shogun herself will be present at the scene, please be extremely careful!"

Before leaving, Kamisato Ayaka urged them repeatedly.

That was the god of Inazuma, the thunderous majesty that ruled this world.

"Hmm, I know."

Under Ayaka's worried gaze, the Traveler and Paimon left the Komore Teahouse together.

After learning the news of Thoma's capture, the two no longer had the mood to watch the fun as they did before.

"Hey, Traveler, are you really sure about this?"

Although they sounded full of confidence just now, when it came to actually facing the Raiden Shogun, who wouldn't feel guilty?

Anyone who had seen Luo Li slap a god into a daze couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

"I'm not sure."

The Traveler was very straightforward; there was no need to lie to their own people.

"Then what should we do? If only Mr. Luo Li were here."

Paimon, thinking only of relying on a powerful backer, muttered in a low voice.

"We'll take it one step at a time; let's go over first."

Saying this, the Traveler immediately picked up the pace and headed toward the Statue of the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God under the Tenryou Commission.

It was said that in order to deter those with ulterior motives, the Shogun would personally appear to conduct the 100th Vision confiscation ceremony.

Because of this, maybe they could kill two birds with one stone.

"Speaking of which, can we complete our goal for this trip this time?" On the way, Paimon suddenly asked with a flash of inspiration.

The reason the two came to Inazuma from Liyue was mainly to meet the Raiden Shogun and see if she was the culprit who separated the siblings.

Secondly, it was to figure out Luo Li's identity.

Now, since the Raiden Shogun would show up, it meant they could see her without any effort.

In that case, was there still a need for Kamisato Ayaka to introduce them?

"Oh, wait, if it weren't for Thoma, we wouldn't be able to see the Raiden Shogun."

Thinking of this, the Traveler couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

So Thoma, you had such deep intentions, actively offering yourself up to danger just to let me see the Raiden Shogun.

Truly a good friend!

While complaining, the Traveler and Paimon passed through the gathering crowd.

With the help of Anemo energy, they moved very quickly, and when they arrived, they found that the ceremony hadn't started yet.

A large number of Tenryou Commission officers were maintaining order, clearing the area within a hundred meters of the Statue of the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God.

It wasn't that they were worried about assassins, but purely to prevent anyone from bumping into the Shogun.

"We're here! We're here!"

Paimon looked at the crowd gathering in front; because there were too many people, she had to fly to a high place to look around.

The Traveler looked up and asked: "How is it?"

"I don't see Thoma, and I don't see the so-called Shogun; it seems like only the officers are clearing the scene."

"Then it seems we arrived quite early."

Breathing a slight sigh of relief, the Traveler was afraid of arriving too late, with the Vision already confiscated.

At that point, she would truly be helpless and could only fight the Raiden Shogun head-on.

She would probably only be able to shout "Luo Li, save me!"

"What do we do next?"

Because the two had ulterior motives, mixed in with the crowd—some curious, some gleeful, some complex—Paimon had to lean close to the Traveler and ask in a low voice.

Because Visions only involved extraordinary people and had almost no impact on ordinary people, they wouldn't oppose the Vision Hunt Decree.

They might even clap and cheer, because in all things, people worry not about scarcity but about inequality; why should you have it when I do not?

People all have dark psychology; saints are always the minority.

Seeing those who were once high and mighty fall into the dust, most people could derive pleasure from it.
