Chapter 362

His trousers were likewise embroidered with subtle patterns; though not as conspicuous as those on his upper garment, they were sufficient to reveal his unique status.

His feet were clad in a pair of high boots, the ornaments carved upon them complementing his overall appearance, being both stable and agile, suitable for various complex terrains and rapid chases.

Upon his head he wore a hat with a sun-shading brim, serving both as a symbol of status and as part of his mysterious aura, casting a measure of enigmatic shadow over his youthful face.

The gaze piercing out from beneath the hat's brim was sharp as an eagle's, its deep blue as unfathomable as the ocean.

"The One Fatui."

Seeing this individual, Lady Lady Keqing knitted her brows tightly, her expression icy cold.

She had not expected to encounter the One Fatui here.

Recalling the information she had previously obtained, that the One Fatui were investigating the meteorite, could it be that these meteorites were related to the One Fatui?

That's right; previously Lin Mo had said that this meteorite seemed to be connected to the One Fatui.

"I didn't expect to be recognized; judging by your demeanor, you seem to detest the One Fatui quite intensely."

· ····Seeking flowers····· ····

Hearing Lady Lady Keqing's words, the Wanderer sighed lightly; "However, judging by your appearances, you do not seem to be Vision holders from Mondstadt; strange indeed, how did you find your way here? Could it be because of this astrologer?"

As he spoke, the Wanderer looked toward Mo Na with considerable interest.

"Be careful."

Seeing the Wanderer's gaze directed her way, Mo Na stated in a grave tone: "This individual is very dangerous; he is a One Fatui Harbinger."

As she spoke, a faint magical array manifested on one of Mo Na's hands held behind her back.

Just moments ago, upon encountering this individual, Mo Na had performed a divination.

"A One Fatui Harbinger?"

Hearing Mo Na's words, both Hearing Hearing Yelan and Hearing Hearing Yelan felt their eyelids twitch.

One must know that there are only eleven One Fatui Harbingers in total.

Yet here they had encountered one.

What secret does this meteorite hold, that it could compel a One Fatui Harbinger to arrive in person?

"Oh? You actually know of me? You ought not to recognize me at all."

Hearing this, the Wanderer remarked with interest: "Could it be merely based on the One Fatui insignia on my clothing? I am nothing more than a vagrant from Inazuma."

"Stop joking; nowadays Inazuma is under lockdown, and no one can enter or exit."

Hearing the Wanderer's words, Mo Na snorted coldly: "Moreover, through my divination, I was able to calculate your identity; trying to deceive my calculations shows you are rather naive."

Speaking of her divination, Mo Na lifted her head with a slight touch of tsundere pride.

Regarding her divination skills, Mo Na was fully confident!

"Divination, is it?"

Hearing Mo Na's words, the Wanderer immediately became intrigued: "Then are you capable of divining even more?"

Hearing the Wanderer's words, Mo Na frowned slightly.

This fellow gave her an intensely strong sense of danger.

"Strange; logically speaking, as the Sixth Seat of the One Fatui, under the current circumstances of Inazuma's closed-door policy, how did you manage to appear outside of Inazuma?"

Lin Mo also inquired of the Wanderer with considerable interest.

As he spoke, Lin Mo employed Kafka's Yan Ling Shu, blending it into his speech.

"Obey Pierro's order to investigate the meteorite."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the Wanderer frowned slightly, but in an instant felt a mysterious power surge forth, flooding immediately into his mind.

The Wanderer, who had originally furrowed his brow, wished to resist, yet his expression showed pain only for a moment before his tightly knitted brows instantly relaxed, and he spoke "honestly": "At the same time, I must cooperate with the One Fatui Lady from Mondstadt; if there is a need in Liyue, I am to assist this individual at critical moments."

"The Lady from Mondstadt?"

Hearing the Wanderer's words, Lady Lady Keqing's expression changed: "That woman is in Liyue?"

If that is the case, then there are three One Fatui Harbingers active within the Liyue region.

One Young Master, one Lady, and this individual standing before them.

In response to Lady Lady Keqing's words, the Wanderer said nothing, but remained standing in place with a somewhat vacant look in his eyes.

"It seems... something is not quite right."

Seeing the Wanderer suddenly standing in place like a puppet, Mo Na and Hearing Hearing Yelan frowned imperceptibly.

What was going on with this fellow?

Just moments ago he had seemed so arrogant, his words filled with an air of indifference.

But now, he was like a marionette on strings.

Most crucially, this individual was actually answering their questions honestly?

Lin Mo asked just once, and this fellow spoke so honestly????

To obey the orders of another One Fatui Harbinger and cooperate with yet another One Fatui Harbinger; these are clearly matters of utmost secrecy.

How could this fellow just blurt them out?

For a moment, Hearing Hearing Yelan subconsciously looked toward Mo Na, and the two exchanged bewildered glances.

At this moment, Lady Lady Keqing also reacted, and looking at the silent Wanderer, her brows knit together lightly.

This fellow; something is definitely wrong.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo wore a smile on his face, marveling in his heart at Kafka's Yan Ling Shu.

Just by speaking those words and activating the Yan Ling Shu, Lin Mo had already controlled the Wanderer with the Yan Ling Shu!

At this moment, the Wanderer was being manipulated before him just like a marionette on strings.

Most crucially, after being controlled this once, his thoughts would be subtly influenced thereafter; if the control continued, he would be permanently manipulated, achieving the effect of permanent brainwashing!

The Wanderer had already been controlled by him for a short period; he only needed to tell the Wanderer in a moment to forget all of this, or to forget their arrival, and the Wanderer would lack that portion of memory, forgetting it directly.

At this moment, Lin Mo was shaken to his core by the sheer power of this Yan Ling Shu.

To think he could manipulate an Executive of the One Fatui so easily.

With this, he could entirely lay out his plans across Sumeru.

If the Wanderer were to ascend to godhood in Sumeru in the future, he would be nothing more than Lin Mo's puppet.

Having successfully manipulated him once, Lin Mo could certainly do it a second time.

Moreover, he could still add points to this Yan Ling Shu to strengthen it!

"Is it a problem with the target's spirit?"

Lin Mo knew that the strength of Kafka's Yan Ling Shu effect depended on the strength of one's spiritual power.

The Wanderer's spirit seemed far from robust; perhaps this was why he had been so easily manipulated.

As for the specifics, Lin Mo needed to test them again.

Today was his first time employing Kafka's Yan Ling Shu on such a scale.
