Chapter 351

The video continues.

"Miss Han Ya, where is the fastest route to the bottom of the Prison?"

"If we cannot race against time, I fear the entire Prison will become our enemy."

Dan Heng asks Han Ya.

"The only way now is to use some clever methods. Follow me, everyone."

"To reach the bottom of the Prison as quickly as possible, we must make use of certain tools."

"Follow me to the next level."

Han Ya begins to lead the way,

and Stelle and Dan Heng follow closely behind.

"The path is broken?"

"Someone must have tampered with the mechanism."

"No matter, a little operation will clear the way."

After arriving at the next level,

Han Ya discovers the path ahead is severed,

and operates the mechanism nearby a few times.

Immediately, the mechanism begins to run,

and after the path ahead rotates, it successfully reconnects.

The group continues to walk downward along the path.

"The roads in the Prison are difficult to traverse. Some underworld officers occasionally take shortcuts by using the artifices from the Artisanship Commission."

"Devices like the Realm-Replacing Screen are strictly prohibited within the prison to prevent facilitating the escape of prisoners."

"But given the urgency, we cannot worry about orders now."

After descending another level,

Han Ya brings Dan Heng and Stelle before the Realm-Replacing Screen mechanism.

They begin to use it to speed up their journey.

Stelle: "I've used this thing before!"

Stelle: "As long as you align it with the screen on the other side and jump in, you can reach the other side in a flash."

Stelle: "I didn't expect to find this stuff in the Prison."

Stelle: "This makes traveling much more convenient!"

Furina: "In that case, will we still make it in time?"

Dan Heng: "Yes, by speeding up our travel, there might still be a chance."

March 7th: "Heaven help us, please don't let Hu Lei escape!"

The video continues.

"The Prison-Breaking Key has opened the path. I hope we aren't too late..."

"Sister, you must hold on!"

After a swift dash,

Han Ya finally brings the two to the entrance of the path leading to where Hu Lei is imprisoned.

The three look at the entrance ahead,

and without any hesitation, they go straight in.

A moment later, they arrive at the location where Hu Lei was held.

But what meets their eyes

are only the corpses of Borisin and guards scattered across the ground.

"It seems a fierce battle took place here not long ago."

This scene of devastation makes Dan Heng frown.

"...."

"The prison gate has lost contact with the pocket dimension. Hu Lei has escaped after all."

"Where is the envoy from Yaoqing? Where is my sister? Are they still alive?"

Han Ya takes a look at the situation at the distant prison gate,

her expression becoming somewhat anxious.

"Search around; we should find some clues."

Dan Heng begins to move deeper to look for clues.

Seeing this, Stelle and Han Ya

also begin to search the scene separately.

After searching for a short while,

Han Ya and Stelle find the remains of Xue Yi.

"Xue Yi... is here."

Looking at Xue Yi's lifeless form,

Stelle cannot help but feel her expression dim.

"Miss Xue Yi sacrificed herself heroically... Miss Han Ya, please accept my condolences."

Han Ya looks at Xue Yi's remains without saying a word.

Seeing this, Dan Heng has no choice but to offer some words of comfort.

March 7th: "Did Miss Xue Yi end up being killed after all?!"

Paimon: "Wuu, Miss Xue Yi is so miserable!"

Paimon: "Her body is even a bit deformed..."

Paimon: "Paimon can't bear to look anymore, wuuuu..."

Furina: "This emotional blow came way too fast."

Furina: "Miss Xue Yi had only just appeared, and she's already sacrificed herself."

Furina: "It's truly upsetting."

Dan Heng: "Miss Xue Yi fought to the death to stop Hu Lei; she is truly a model among the Judges."

Dan Heng: "Her achievements will be remembered by the Luofu Xianzhou."

Mualani: "Miss Han Ya can't even speak while looking at her sister's corpse..."

Mualani: "She must be very sad right now..."

The video continues.

"Mourning? I have no such intention."

Hearing Dan Heng's words,

Han Ya turns around with a normal expression.

There is not a trace of sorrow to be seen.

Kachina: "Eh?!"

Kachina: "Why isn't Miss Han Ya sad at all??"

Kachina: "Is... is she deliberately putting on a brave face?"

Xilonen: "But this doesn't look like an act."

Xilonen: "Did we misunderstand something?"

Han Ya: "Didn't I tell you before?"

Han Ya: "My sister has a puppet body; even if she dies, she can return to life again."

Lumine: "Ah, this..."

Lumine: "I remember now, Miss Han Ya really did say that before."

Lumine: "I forgot about that."

Han Ya: "Is that so?"

Han Ya: "I thought you still remembered, so I didn't explain."

Mavuika: "No wonder Miss Han Ya said earlier that her sister was going to die in battle again."

Mavuika: "I thought Miss Han Ya had misspoken due to her complex emotions..."

Furina: "In other words... Miss Xue Yi didn't really die?"

Furina: "We worried for nothing?"

Hu Tao: "That is clearly the case."

Sparkle: "Oh my, what kind of innate 'getting-stabbed' constitution is this?"

Sparkle: "Can't even be killed by a blade, right?"

Sparkle: "This is truly amusing~"

Firefly: "Just now, electricity flashed across Miss Xue Yi's body, and I thought I had seen wrong."

Firefly: "Thinking about it now, it must have been because Miss Xue Yi's puppet body was too severely damaged, causing a leak?"

Firefly: "But regardless, it's great that Miss Xue Yi is fine."

Xue Yi: "Thank you all for your concern."

Xue Yi: "For me, this situation is actually a normal occurrence; it happens from time to time."

Boothill: "Holy Luofu Xianzhou technology, that's actually damn impressive!"

Boothill: "Infinite resurrection, huh?"

Boothill: "When can I experience that too?"

"You misunderstood."

"Thanks to the grace of the Ten-Lords, my sister became a puppet body hundreds of years ago."

"After death, her soul returns to the archives of the Hall of Karma; for her, this has long been a daily routine."

"Although I don't want to see her consume her body so recklessly every time, as if it were a part that could be easily replaced."

"But..."

March 7th: "Although Miss Xue Yi didn't really die."

March 7th: "Miss Han Ya must still feel conflicted seeing this, right?"

Han Ya: "Yes, seeing my sister like this does make me feel heartbroken."

Xue Yi: "Sorry, little sister, for making you worry."

Han Ya: "It's okay, sister, you had no choice."

Mualani: "The soul returns to the archives of the Hall of Karma after death..."

Mualani: "And then she can be resurrected by changing into a new body?"

Mualani: "This sounds like it has a similar effect to our Natlan's Resurrection Poetry?"

Stelle: "Huh? You Teyvat folks also have a resurrection mechanism?"

Stelle: "Good grief, the waters on your planet really run deep."

Stelle: "Everything strange exists there."

Kinich: "The Resurrection Poetry only works on the inheritors of Ancient Names; compared to the Luofu Xianzhou's resurrection, it's not quite the same."

Hu Tao: "Became a puppet body hundreds of years ago?"

Hu Tao: "In other words, Miss Xue Yi is at least several hundred years old?"

Xiangling: "Then as her younger sister, isn't Miss Han Ya also several hundred years old?"

Paimon: "Uh... you can't tell at all."

Paimon: "They are clearly both incredibly young."

Silver Wolf: "They are both long-lived species; isn't eternal youth the standard?"

The video continues.

"By the way, have you found any casualties that might be the envoys from Yaoqing?"

"One of them is a Foxian in gorgeous attire, and the other is wearing a dark robe, looking like an outlaw."

Han Ya is slightly dazed for a moment before hurriedly asking the two.

"...No, apart from the Borisin, I didn't see any deceased who looked like a Foxian among the remains here."

Dan Heng shakes his head, indicating he didn't see any.

"In other words, the prison breakers and Hu Lei have taken the Yaoqing envoy hostage."

"This is truly the worst-case scenario."

"With a hostage in hand, the prison guards will likely be powerless against these guys."

"If anything goes wrong, the relationship between the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou and the Yaoqing Luofu Xianzhou... will likely fall into an irreparable rift."

"We must save the envoy, escape from here, and send word out."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must never give up!"

Han Ya's expression is firm,

preparing to rescue the Yaoqing envoy.

Hearing Moze: "An outlaw wearing a dark robe?"

Hearing Moze: "Is this how I appear in the eyes of others?"

Han Ya: "No, only in my eyes."

Han Ya: "If there is any offense, please forgive me."

Hearing Moze: "It's fine..."

Hearing Moze: "Perhaps I really should look into changing my image."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Hearing Moze, you kid ran away quite fast."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "I can't even find a trace of you now?"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "You didn't really run away, did you?"

Furina: "What do you mean by 'really run away'?"

Furina: "Didn't Mr. Hearing Moze just run away?"

Hearing Moze: "He means that after I withdrew, I should have sent the message out as soon as possible or found reinforcements."

Hearing Moze: "But you overlooked one point."

Hearing Moze: "The Prison is so large and complex; without spending some time, I might not necessarily be able to figure it out."

Navia: "Miss Xue Yi can be resurrected, so she's fine, and Mr. Hearing Moze successfully escaped, so he's fine."

Navia: "Then the only one in mortal danger is Mr. Seeing Jiaoqiu."

Hu Tao: "It really is just as Mr. Hearing Moze said... he was confident in his ability to escape."

Hu Tao: "But what should Mr. Seeing Jiaoqiu do?"

Miss Yunli: "Being taken hostage by the Borisin is not a good outcome."

Miss Yunli: "Those impatient beasts might kill the hostage at any moment."

Dan Heng: "At the very least, while Hu Lei hasn't completely escaped the Prison, they won't do anything to Mr. Seeing Jiaoqiu."

Dan Heng: "The rest depends on whether we are fast enough!"

The video continues.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a mechanical bird in the distance attracts Han Ya's attention.

"What did Miss Han Ya find?"

Seeing Han Ya like this, Dan Heng cannot help but ask.

And at this moment, the damaged mechanical bird on the ground speaks eerily.

"Han... Han..."

A stuttering, intermittent voice comes out,

giving Stelle a fright.

"What the hell?!"
