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

The thief found the hidden stronghold of the Hat Society one step ahead of the Duke... It must be said that when Yu Shui learned about Merlot Petersburg, he always paid special attention to the nooks and crannies.

After all, every corner may be a door for him to escape, so he can find his destination faster than all the guards.

The thief in black was hiding in the pipe at the top of the space, observing the overall environment here... it was dark and humid, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and blood. It seemed that many people had died here.

In the center is a large device, which seems to be related to the door to continue moving forward. There are three forked roads. It is probably a mechanism placed by Duguier to hide it.

Decryption games... Yu Shui is also good at this. When he was bored, he loved to explore the major underwater monuments in Fontaine and solved many strange mechanisms.

On the platform, there were clockwork mechanisms that released the restrictions and were patrolling. Yu Shui silently moved forward above them, holding the handle of the double-edged knife with both hands.

"Three two one... Let's take action!"

Swish!

The figure falling from the sky was accompanied by two water blades and the arrival of wild elements, instantly cutting off the heads of the two clockwork mechanisms. The surrounding mechanisms were alarmed, and the hard sound of the mechanical operation sounded cold and serious.

The young man who was surrounded and holding a double blade did not panic. He turned the handle of the knife and merged the two swords together, suddenly merging into a longer single sword.

"Broken waves, Linyuan!"

The surrounding area was filled with water as sharp as a blade, cutting all the surrounding enemies into pieces in an instant, leaving even knife marks on the mechanisms.

There are dripping water stains left among the mechanical fragments, which will soon evaporate into the air... Now let’s adjust the mechanism to open the door~

……

"Your Majesty the Duke, we have found something suspicious!"

"Really? Let me see..."

At the same time, Leosley had also found the entrance to the Hat Club's stronghold. It was an inconspicuous door at the end of the waterway. It would have been impossible to find it if it hadn't been for a blanket search.

But... when he got closer, Leosley seemed to find some traces that shouldn't be there.

Those are a few water stains that contain the power of the water element. That elemental energy Leosley is very familiar with, is it... the thief's feather? !

Even with just a little water stain, Leosli could recognize the owner of his element... Now you know why Yu Shui has never used elemental power in front of Leosli with his true identity.

It will be exposed directly.

"Everyone, please be extremely careful after entering. There may be... other guests coming."

Yu Shui had opened one of the gates on the three forked roads and came to a new place... This seemed to be a place where members of the Hat Club were imprisoned.

Perhaps he arrived early and happened to catch up with Duguier controlling the clockwork mechanism to transfer these members.

"Hurry up and leave! If you don't want to be punished, please do it easy for me! That son of a bitch Avis dares to betray me because of his strength. If you guys dare to have any different intentions, the body will not be intact!"

"Ah! Yes...yes..."

The members of the Brim Hat Club include men, women, old and young. At this moment, they are all like fearful quails. They only dare to do things according to that person's ideas. They have not noticed Yu Shui's arrival yet.

Is it because his clothes are too dark?

"Ahem, I told you... don't ignore me."

"Who?!"

The sudden appearance of a man's voice made the nervous Duguier react greatly. Only then did he see Yu Shui, who was approaching him step by step... He recognized the identity represented by this outfit.

In his eyes, shock and fear went hand in hand.

"You...you...you are the thief?! Why are you here?!"

"Why can't I appear here? Since you saw me, it's naturally because there is something I covet here. Are you ready to kneel in front of me and offer it with both hands?"

Yu Shui tilted his head slightly, and spoke in an extremely relaxed tone, words that made people tremble. Because of his bad reputation, even Duguier couldn't help but feel fear at the first moment.

Evil people still need to be punished by evil people...

Duguier felt his life was threatened.

"You...you are just one person. Even if you have the Eye of God, how long can you hold on in front of so many powerful security agencies?! Surround him and kill him!!"

"Kill me...? There may be someone who can kill me, but it will definitely not be a small character on the stage like you."

He raised his head slightly, the blue eyes hidden under the hood already glowing coldly.

"Wait to die."

……

When Leosley led a large force of guards to the Hat Club's stronghold, he found that the mechanism had been tampered with, and only the remains of a clockwork mechanism were left where the victims were detained. And countless terrified living people who were abandoned here.

Putting aside the matter of the thief for the moment, the most important thing now is to rescue these victims.

Leosley picked up a little girl who was curled up on the ground and crying silently, and looked around.

"Move quickly, rescue these people, quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke!"

Almost half of the guards in Merlot Petersburg were dispatched, with hundreds of people. This huge detention area was already occupied by the guards in a short time, and the rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner.

The little girl in Leosley's arms was taken away, and he was looking at the water stains on the ground thoughtfully at the moment.

"Your Majesty the Duke, Duguier was not found."

"...I roughly know his current situation. Although I don't know what You Lin's purpose is, but...I should go and meet him."

He would never give up any chance to catch the thief.

The victims' matters were left to the guards, and Leosli rushed deeper into the stronghold without stopping.

When he arrived at his destination, he happened to see the figure in black night clothes squeezing Duguier's throat and raising his arms. The once arrogant and domineering existence was now red-faced and struggling helplessly. The arms were missing both hands.

The hands were lying bloody on the ground on the side.

"You Lin, are you going to kill him? I thought you wouldn't get involved in this matter... Why are you here?!"

"Huh? Your Majesty, Duke, I haven't seen you for a long time. Did your first sentence ask me why I came?"

Yu Shui resisted his desire to cut Dujiye into pieces, released his neck and threw him to the ground. His struggling gasps were interrupted by Yu Shui's outstretched foot.

His cold eyes looked at Duguier with interest as he stepped on his mouth and nose and continued to struggle painfully.

What a wonderful scene.

"Can I say that I'm here to see you and help you? Hahaha... I guess you won't believe it."

A look back with invisible eyes and a bright smile on the corner of his mouth. Such a scene is really inconsistent at this time. Leosley is approaching step by step without any concealment.

He knew that You Lin would not refuse his approach.

Until the distance was less than an arm's length, Yu Shui slightly raised his head and looked at the Duke in front of him, as if asking for credit.

"I was faster than you and saved all the poor people. Don't you want to give me a reward?"

"I didn't give you a bullet right away, and that's already a reward."

"Ah~ that's right. You must have put in a lot of effort to talk to me calmly."

Yu Shui smiled and crushed his foot, and the dying Duguier suddenly let out a scream like a slaughtering pig from his throat.

Leosley frowned calmly.

"Let him go. Even if he is an unpardonable sinner, you have no right to take his life away in this way."

"I understand, I understand. Even in prison, we must abide by the rules. If there are no rules, there will be no rules. Otherwise, chaos will break out in Merlo Petersburg... I didn't say I wanted to kill him."

Moreover, the information Yu Shui wanted to get was already known. Regarding the source of the black crystal... it was traded to him by a businessman named Jacob, and the name Jacob was given to him when Yu Shui was in Haimo Village. I heard it in the story told by Mameh.

He's an Abyss Chanter... Sure enough, the black stone comes from the abyss, and maybe it's related to Erinas.
