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

In the crystal cluster mine tunnel on the seabed below Merlot Petersburg, Sora and Paimon had already walked to the entrance and exit under the leadership of Caterpillar. Lenore also followed them, looking curiously and a little timidly. Watching everything around.

They took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the abandoned factory area when everyone's attention was on the affected prisoners, and then escaped through the secret passage of the crystal cluster mine tunnel.

In this case, of course they would not know how many rounds of chaos broke out in Merlot Petersburg last night. According to the time on the pocket watch Kong carried with him, it was already noon the next day.

"Huh... Traveler, Paimon feels like there are a lot of sounds coming from above. Could it be that there is chaos in Merlot Petersburg again? I'm a little uneasy."

Paimon was flying in the air and led Lenore to walk in this irregular passage. The cave was extremely quiet, as if it was dead silence.

Catpila led the way at the front, with the empty palace behind, protecting the two little girls who had no fighting ability in the middle.

"Don't think nonsense. The Duke and Clolind are guarding Merlo Petersburg. There will be no problem. After we send Lenore and the others out of Merlo Petersburg, we will go back to support them."

"Um…"

Paimon nodded slightly in response, but none of them noticed that Lenore, the protagonist in the prison escape, seemed to have something wrong with her expression.

He kept looking around uneasily.

"K...Brother Carter, there seems to be something surrounding us. There are so many...I, I always feel like they are here to play with me."

"?!"

In such an environment, Lenore's words really brought a lot of imagination to people, not to mention that in the next second, countless black shadows appeared on the walls around the mine tunnel.

Accompanied by a sharp and hoarse howl, it sounded like a ferocious monster.

"Wow!!"

Paimon let out a scream and was suddenly taken away by Sora by the arm.

"Run!"

A chase that took place in an undersea mine tunnel, an unknown escape. After reaching the end of this mine tunnel, there was a maze-like mining area. The exit was locked, and energy needed to be used to recharge the exit mechanism. Can and open.

Those black shadows came out of the wall one after another. They were either black animal hounds or an unknown black humanoid monster.

Sora waved his hand and took out his sword, blocking the front.

"Paimon, Caterpillar, take Lenore and go!"

"I'll stay and help."

Catpila stood next to Sora... A little dark abyss power quietly emerged from the small figure. In an instant, the small human was no longer there, replaced by a huge Qiuqiu Fengxing Ranger.

Lenore and Paimon also witnessed his changes, but because they had already experienced Lessing becoming the Apostle of the Abyss, they were much more receptive to it.

"Pamon, Lenore will be left to you."

"Ah?! This... Lenore, let's run!"

The two little girls rushed into the maze of the mining area and disappeared. Sora and Catpila were fighting side by side, and they both saw a figure slowly appearing behind these monsters. It was a familiar figure.

"Novales... As expected, you have indeed... accepted the power of the abyss just like Lier in the arena."

"Haha~ If there is no powerful power, it is impossible to maintain the order of the world... I should have this power to eliminate all unstable existences from Merlo Petersburg!

Men, kill them! "

"Roar!!"

Novales seemed to have fallen into madness, and transformed into a water-element apostle of the abyss, rushing over with all the monsters... It was not something that Sora and Katpila could stop.

At this moment, Paimon and Lenore, who had already run into the maze, hurriedly ran left and right looking for a hiding place, until Lenore was panting and couldn't run anymore.

"Pa...Sister Paimon, I really...I really can't run anymore..."

"Huh... I can't fly anymore, so let's hide here. We've gone far enough, and the monsters shouldn't be able to catch up."

Paimon raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and sat down next to the corner with Lenore. For a while, the only sound around them was the breathing of the two of them.

I don’t know how long passed, it might have been a few minutes, or it might have been ten minutes, when Paimon heard Lenore crying softly.

"Hey?! Lenore, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

"I think it's all because of me... If it wasn't for taking me out of the garden, Brother Carter wouldn't have to put in so much effort, and Brother Kong and Sister Paimon wouldn't have to take risks with us."

Lenore felt very tired during this journey, but Sora and Katpila were definitely more tired than she was. She didn't understand what was so good about her, that they had paid so much for her.

Although Lenore is a child, she is also very mature in her heart. She is very confused and sad... She can't help but want to cry when she thinks that Sora and Katpila are still facing the enemy.

Paimon had never encountered such a situation before. He looked around and didn't know what to do. However, when he thought that he was the person known as the Mouth of God, he felt that he could not lose at this time.

"Don't... don't be sad. Traveler and Caterpillar are very powerful. They will definitely be unharmed, and... besides, we are willing to take you out of the prison! After all, it was that guy Lessing who asked us for help..."

Paimon felt as if he had said something completely useless.

"Because...you hope."

"Ok?"

Just when Paimon was at a loss what to do, another person's voice suddenly came from around him. The voice was very familiar... The two girls looked together and saw a young man in black walking towards them.

Because of his appearance, Paimon's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Lessing?! Why are you here? Shouldn't you be recuperating in the infirmary? Are you healed?!"

“No matter what era or situation we are in, children are always the hope for the future of the world, aren’t they?

And in my opinion, Catpila is willing to help you because... he is not willing to be abandoned by the world and lose his hard-earned humanity. "

Lessing did not respond to Paimon's words, but continued what he had just said, to Lenore, walked slowly in front of them, squatted down, and gently touched Lenore's head.

"Your brother Carter... his birth process was very tortuous, just like a caterpillar that is about to die before it emerges from its cocoon. Although I don't know how he spent the past hundreds of years in prison, but now he will help You leave as the meaning of your life."

"Hey?!"

The black-haired boy in front of him looked very different from the last time we parted. I don't know what happened to him again.

The long sword was carried on his back like this, solemn but not cold.

"Hey! Don't treat Pamon like air, you guy!!"

Paimon was already jumping up and down with anger, but Lessing just glanced at her, and then...

It gave her a head bang.

"Ouch!"

"Please, just be quiet for a moment... would you like to hear me tell a story about Lenore and Paimon?"

Lenore was initially half-informed and didn't understand what Catpila meant by treating her as the meaning of life. But when Lessing said she wanted to tell her a story, she happily agreed.

"Lessing! At least respond to me. Do your teammates know you are here?"

"I don't know, and I don't plan to let them know. It's better if they think I'm missing... ha."
