(I will not elaborate on the resistance army.)

(Travelers will not take the resistance route, because there is really no reason to join the Heart Sea faction.)

(It’s a good opportunity to save Teppei during this plot.)

(It's fine that Teppei used the power of the evil eye and received the corresponding price, but it's a pity that he left.)

(His ending shouldn't be like this)

--text

Coming out of the tent in the Heart Sea of ​​Coral Palace, Paimon looked at the rebels in training and said:

"Ying, do you think the resistance can win?"

"I hope to win, but realistically, it's too difficult. The shogunate army hasn't even started to take it seriously."

Ying shook her head.

This is a war against General Raiden. If the rebels are facing a god, there is no way they can win.

After the great battle with Osel, Ying knew that numbers were meaningless in front of the gods.

"The key to resisting the Eye Hunting Order is not on the battlefield, but in Inazuma City." Ying said.

It is easier to attack the other two magistrates than to defeat the shogunate army on the frontal battlefield.

Paimon, who was not very smart, said, "Then should we persuade Xinhai to give up the war?"

"I can't persuade you."

Ying shook her head: "She and the resistance army are not here for the Eye Hunting Order, this is just an excuse."

"A reason to hide the real purpose."

"Ah? Xin Hai has other purposes?"

Paimon's eyes widened, but Iya beside him showed a helpless expression and sighed: "Aiya, Mido..."

(Paimon, without a good reason, would you do something impossible?)

【Iya is right.】

[As everyone knows, if there is no other reason, Paimon will not think about anything other than eating. ]

[So Xin Hai is using the name of rebelling against the Eye Hunting Order to achieve another purpose of his own? ]

[I haven't done the main quest yet, I'm going to Haiqi Island first. The world quest mentioned that the soil on Haiqi Island is not suitable for farming.]

[So Xinhai is seeking benefits for the people of Haiqi Island? Then why is she rebelling against the Eye Hunting Order? ]

[If she doesn't use this slogan, do you think anyone will pay attention to her? If she doesn't say this, this war won't even start. ]

"Uh, it seems like that..." Paimon smiled awkwardly, then looked around to ease the embarrassment.

As he looked around, Paimon spotted a familiar-looking person not far away.

"Ying, look, isn't that Zheping?"

Ying looked in the direction Paimon pointed, and then she really saw Zheping, the man she had saved on the battlefield because he did not have the Eye of God.

"It's really him. The other rebels are training in the camp, so what is he doing here?"

Ying asked doubtfully.

"Yayado, Mimido..."

(It looks like she's doing something sneaky, sis, do you want to follow her?)

Iga commented as he looked at Teppei's figure.

"Let's go and take a look."

Ying did not refuse Yiya's request.

If this was a request made by Paimon, Ying would have to consider it seriously.

Three people voted, and two agreed, so the last vote seemed unimportant, so the three of them secretly followed Zheping.

[Iya also said that Teppei seemed to be doing something sneaky, but now it is me who is sneaky...]

[Be careful with your words. This is not sneaking around, but being aboveboard without the other party noticing.]

The three followed Zheping all the way into the forest.

Teppei found an empty spot in the forest and waited.

While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Ying and his group waited quietly for Zhe Ping and others.

“Quite on time.”

A voice came from another direction in the forest.

A well-trained team arrived opposite Teppei.

The attire of this team was very familiar to Ying and his group; they were an advance team of the Fatui.

"It's a fool..."

Before Paimon could even scream, Iya covered his mouth and looked at the Fatui vanguard vigilantly.

Fortunately, it did not attract attention.

Ying gave Iya a thumbs up, then continued to look forward, wondering why the Fatui appeared in this place.

There doesn't seem to be any other reason, after all, Rurouni has followed the doctor to Inazuma.

Since the Doctor is here, it is normal for the advance team of Fatui to appear.

Paimon's voice did not attract the attention of the Fatui.

The leading fire debt handler smiled at Teppei and said, "It seems you can't wait."

Facing the Fatui, Teppei still seemed a little scared.

But as if he had thought of something, Zheping pretended to be calm and said, "Are you sure what you said is true?"

"Can that thing really allow me to gain power comparable to the Eye of God?"

"Hey, don't be afraid, we don't eat people."

The Fire Debt Handler comforted Teppei in a kind manner, and then said, "Words are not enough. It's normal for you to have doubts."

"So next, we will present evidence that will convince you."

The Fire Debt Handler turned around and said to the Fatui vanguard behind him: "Brothers, show this brother the power of the merchandise."

Members of the Fatui advance team stepped forward and demonstrated to Teppei how to use elemental power.

[Appreciation of the original demon's skills. 】

【The Fatui recruitment advertisement. 】

[So Teppei plans to join the Fatui? ]

Commodity? Ying listened to the term and extracted useful information from it.

Teppei wants to buy something from the Fatui?

Is it a weapon, or something else?

Ying suddenly remembered something she overheard at Shiba's house.

——At Shiba's House

After finishing a day's work, Ying planned to go back to her room to rest.

On the way, I passed by Shiba Kaoru's room.

"The Patriarch...appears again..."

Hmm? Amamiya's voice?

Ying subconsciously followed her curious nature and put her ear to the door to eavesdrop.

The next moment, the door of the room was pushed open.

Ying lost her balance and fell into the room from outside the door.

"Guest, what are you doing?"

Shiba Xun's puzzled voice sounded.

Only then did Ying realize that there were not only Shiye Xun and Amamiya Qinye in the room, but also two Kuroko guarding the door.

Heizi opened the door because he felt someone was eavesdropping outside.

"I heard Amemiya's voice and was a little curious, so I thought about listening." Ying said embarrassedly.

There is nothing embarrassing about eavesdropping; what is embarrassing is being caught eavesdropping.

"Is that so? Why don't you stay and listen together?"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"Of course, this is not a very secret matter. I, like the master of the house, don't mind."

So, Ying stayed to listen after getting permission from Shiba Kaoru and Amemiya Kotoya.

I saw Amemiya Kotoya took out a box, inside of which was a prop similar to the Eye of God.

"Sure enough, it's the evil eye." Zhiye Xun nodded.

"Master, who is the evil eye?" Yingfa asked.

"Since you are a traveler, you must have seen the Faintheads. This evil eye comes from the Faintheads."

"An elite unit above the common Fatui vanguard, using elemental power through the Evil Eye."

"This thing can actually allow people to use elemental power?" Ying looked at the Evil Eye in surprise.

At the same time, some questions were also answered.

That's why the Fire Debt Collector and the Firefly Warlock can use elemental power, and that's why Young Master can use two different elemental powers at the same time.

"All sources of power have their price."

"The Evil Eye is not the Eye of God after all. Using it puts a heavy burden on the body. In serious cases, it can even directly shorten one's lifespan." Shiye Xun explained.

Then take the evil eye from the box.

"Recently, the warriors of Tianling Bugyo have often aged inexplicably, or even died directly."

"The Kujo family thought there was an evil spirit at work, so they asked the Shiba family to investigate."

"And the result of the investigation is the evil eye."

"The evil eye found in Tianling Bugyo seems to have been specially treated."

"Although you can still use elemental power, the price is to directly burn your life, and it will end up like this."

Zhiye Xun handed Ying some pictures taken with a camera. Because they were of a style from a hundred years ago, the pictures were not only black and white, but also very blurry.

However, after Ying took the picture, her pupils suddenly shrank.

——Digression

Personally, I tend to think that the evil eye used by the Fatui has side effects, but they are not as drastic as Teppei's.

Generally speaking, a person who could live to be a hundred years old would only live to be sixty or seventy years old after using the evil eye.

If it is really like Teppei's evil eye, which will cause old age and death after a period of use, then the Fatui will never give this thing to middle and high-level combat forces.

That's no different than suicide.

Therefore, the only reasonable explanation is that the evil eye given to Zheping by the Fatui is different from the evil eye he uses himself.
