Genshin Impact: Become a heart-stealing thief in the land of justice

Leosley and Yu Shui returned to Merlot Petersburg the next day against the light of the sunrise, and Yu Shui had already hidden his dragon appearance.

After leaving this day, the situation in the prison was relatively stable, even though the news of the destruction of the undersea tunnel had spread throughout Merlot Petersburg.

But there is no way for the prisoners to leave through there, so the only ones who are worried are the Fontainebleau and the Momang Palace. During this period, the prisoners cannot be sent to Merlot Petersburg.

However, on the way, Leosley also mentioned to Yu Shui the strange things he encountered when leaving. The guard Ariel seemed to have locked the entrance gate of Merlo Petersburg, trying to prevent Yu Shui from doing so. Back inside the prison.

"Now that I think about it, Ariel's condition looks very wrong. It's far different from her usual personality. I'm suspicious..."

"Are you suspecting that the monster from the abyss replaced her unknowingly?"

Yu Shui said for Leosli what he had not said later. He didn’t know how Leosli came up with this possibility. He recalled that when he was still in Liyue, he learned from his colleagues in the treasure stealing group. A scary legend I heard.

As we all know, there is a kind of monster on this continent that can disguise itself as an ordinary flower to deceive and attack passers-by. It is called a deception flower. The legend says that there is a kind of deception flower that can disguise itself as a human and learn the words and deeds of humans. Eventually fully integrated into human society.

Become a monster in human skin, and ordinary people can't see the difference between a liar and a human being with their naked eyes.

This legend is naturally false in most possibilities. Yu Shui does not think that ordinary liars can imitate humans with their IQ, but he remembered the humanoid black man he had encountered when he was in the world of Merlot Petersburg. film.

Those black shadows come from the abyss, and they already have human forms, as if they are evolving... The forms of life are changing with each passing day, and monsters that can imitate humans may have evolved.

In the past, Yu Shui almost ignored this possibility. Fortunately, what happened to Leosley reminded him.

"There is no shortage of such possibilities, Ayu... If the guess comes true, then Merlo Petersburg at this moment may..."

"Leo is optimistic, maybe Ariel simply hates me? But now I have restored the power of Yuanhai, no matter what the abyss monster is.

Don't be afraid, I'm here. "

"...It's rare to see you speak so seriously."

Leosley raised the corners of his lips slightly.

They successfully returned to the Merlot Petersburg management area. At that time, the management area was still very quiet. Most of the prisoners were working in the production area. The guards who stayed in the management area were killing time in twos and threes.

Yu Shui silently approached the three guards who were playing Seven Saints' Summons, and silently stuck his head out to take a look at their cards.

ah? No, why does one of the character cards look so familiar? ! Isn't this...himself?

"Cough cough."

"Wow! Mr. Yu Shui, and the Duke?!"

The three guards who were frightened by Yu Shui's coughing finally discovered them. They felt ashamed of being caught fishing during working hours, but Yu Shui didn't care much whether they fished or not.

It's best to fish every day. This is also a sign of Merlo Petersburg's stability.

"If I'm not mistaken, is the character card you took...me? Can you show it to me?"

"Oh! Mr. Yu Shui, give it!"

The little guard directly presented it with both hands, allowing Yu Shui to take a good look at his Seven Saints summoning character card... The picture above actually showed him standing on the waves, which was quite handsome.

Leosley also came over and looked at the character card with interest.

"It should have come from the Broken Bones Shop. There are all kinds of weird things there. I even saw my own character card."

Leosley felt that this matter was quite common. After all, he wanted to know that the Seven Saints Summon official liked to make cards based on celebrities from various countries down to little girls.

But it is obvious that Leosley ignored one thing, that is, the rest of the people may have been summoned by the Seven Saints for sampling, but as a "dead" prisoner, Yu Shui's identity is extremely sensitive, and this painting still depicts him stepping on the waves. The appearance above.

No one would draw it like this without knowing that he is the Water Dragon King.

"Brother, can you sell me this character card? 5k franchise coupons."

"Huh?! Mr. Yu Shui wants it, of course he can!"

The guard readily accepted Yu Shui's request and accepted the 5 concession coupons... After all, he only spent 2 concession coupons when he bought it.

Yu Shui glanced at the card meaningfully, then turned to look at Leosley. With just one glance, he knew that Yu Shui had sensed something was wrong.

"...Go back to the office first, Ayu."

"Row."

……

He told Leosley all the speculations he had just made, and he thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

The action of making tea is still skillful, and the fragrance of tea spreads throughout the office as usual, making people feel extremely at ease.

During this period, something ridiculous happened. Yu Shui felt that he should have very strong control over water now. Since his tea-making skills must have improved, he specially asked Ying to waste some of Leosli's water. Luxurious tea.

The finished product that came out seemed to have a little more of the abyss than the original taste of the Dead Realm. After taking a sip, Yu Shui lay down on the table and began to doubt life.

"Well, it seems that I am completely insulated from making tea in this life."

"No, I think it tastes pretty good, um... pretty good."

Thanks to Leosley for the unintentional encouragement, it would be more convincing if the corners of your eyes weren't twitching.

Let's go back to what happened just now. Yu Shui didn't find any aura of the abyss from this Seven Saints summoning card, and it seemed that it was only circulating within Merlot Petersburg for the time being.

That's all... I can't connect this matter with anything else for the time being. Let's put it aside and deal with the matter about the abyss monsters possibly imitating humans.

Maybe we can use the same method as last time and use activities to disguise the real purpose of the detection?

"I don't think it's appropriate. That kind of excuse works well the first time, but it will inevitably lead to suspicion. The nature of this matter is different from others. It may cause suspicion and confusion within Merlo Petersburg. We can only investigate it secretly. .”

"Um…"

Yu Shui nodded slightly, but he already had other thoughts in his heart.

"It's almost noon Leo, I'm hungry, how about inviting me to the concession canteen?"

"Okay, let's go."

……

If special ingredients are added to the welfare meals in the concession canteen, the monsters will definitely eat them in order to disguise themselves as humans... Yu Shui is confident that ordinary people will not be affected.

Yu Shui told Leosley this idea when he was about to reach the concession canteen, and successfully got the Duke's silence.

"...If we can ensure the safety of normal prisoners."

"Trust me Leo, there should be no problem."
