Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

If only one person were to go out, it would not be a problem under normal circumstances. Let the guard form a team alone, or let him join a team at will to form a group of three. This would not be a problem at all.

But the embarrassing thing is that there are nine locations that need to be patrolled in the embassy, ​​and they happen to be in a situation of eight to a half. Although the captain has just pointed out that they cannot form a team alone, this is the only way given the current situation.

Then the question arises again. The guard on the team alone may not necessarily accept this result.

"Huh? I'm on my own?"

Sure enough, when the guard who was not assigned a teammate learned that he would be patrolling alone, a look of fear immediately appeared on his face.

Hey, hey, hey! This is no joke. At this stage, the Masked Fool is still hiding in the embassy. If he suddenly attacks, I will be dead!

"How about...forming a team of three?"

The atmosphere at the scene remained deadlocked for two or three seconds. The guard, unwilling to accept this result, carefully examined the expressions of his companions around him and asked tentatively.

'...'

The guard responded with a long silence. It was obvious that no one spoke out in agreement with his proposal.

"cut!"

The man had already thought of this result, but when the answer was actually placed in front of him, he still found it difficult to accept it.

"Then let's do this. I'll go to area A3, and you guys can divide up the rest of the area. Is that okay?"

The guard sat down on the ground in despair and waved at his teammates impatiently.

"No, take care of yourself." No one present dared to have any opinions. They could hear that there was resentment in this person's tone, so it would be better not to provoke him at this time.

After the 'mutual sympathy' farewell, the remaining guards formed teams of two and began to carry out patrol tasks. The only guard without a teammate sat there dejectedly with his head slightly lowered.

However, no one noticed that under the guard's lowered head, his originally coal-black pupils had turned into a pair of plum-shaped eyes, which at this moment revealed a cunning look.

....................................

The core area of ​​the Interstellar Peace Corporation Embassy...

"Tread, tap, tap...!"

The captain of the guard team, who had just left the team, was running on the floor of the embassy with all his might, running towards the direction of Jadeite and Topa.

"what--!"

Perhaps it was because it was too dark at night, and the captain was too nervous, he fell to the ground without paying attention.

However, just as the guard was about to fall, a slender hand reached out from nowhere and grabbed his shoulder.

"Hi-Hi-sama!"

The guard looked up and saw that the person who grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back from the edge of falling was our Lady Emerald, the target he was looking for this time.

"Master Hisui, the Masked Fool who killed dozens of company members has sneaked into the embassy!"

"Okay, I understand. Let us handle this matter."

When Ms. Hisui heard the news that Hanabi had sneaked into the embassy, ​​an expression of "as expected" appeared on her face.

After letting the captain of the guard leave first, Feicui turned slightly and spoke to little Ye Lina beside her.

"We don't have a good reference on the Masked Fool's exact strength."

"The only known incident was when you, little Yelina, came to Beloberg to collect debts, and she controlled and used the power of the star core."

Having said that, Feicui paused, then looked out the window next to her, and saw teams of guards patrolling anxiously.

Outside of these paired teams, a team of one person seemed so out of place. Jade's gaze stayed on that person for a moment, and then she closed her eyes again.

"We cannot determine whether that person still has the power of the star core, so in the upcoming battle, we may use the power of the 'foundation', as well as..."

As Jade spoke, her gaze gently fell on the back of Topa's hand, on the seal that represented the authority of [Cause and Effect].

"I understand, Sister Jade."

Following Emerald's gaze, Topa understood, then covered the mark on the back of his hand and answered in a firm tone.

"If I need to use the power of the authority of [Cause and Effect], I will definitely spare no effort!"

........................

"Why hasn't the captain come back yet? It's been nearly half a system hour. Theoretically, the captain should have finished reporting long ago."

After waiting patiently for nearly half an hour, seeing that their captain had not returned yet, a guard finally couldn't hold back his inner anxiety and whispered to his companions.

"I'm not sure about this. Maybe the captain hasn't found Lord Hisui and Lord Topa yet."

The companion who was questioned shook his head. Their low-level employees did not have the authority to know the contact information of Jade and Topa, who were at the P46 level.

Therefore, in order to find these two adults, their captain must resort to the most ancient method of communication, which is to rely on his legs.

"Do you think...the captain has already..."

"Hush! Don't say such things!"

"But I'm just curious..."

Similar conversations were taking place among teams of patrolling guards. The captain's absence made the guards present feel extremely nervous.

At this moment, everyone is like an arrow on a string, and the bow may break and the arrow may be destroyed at any time due to the bowstring breaking.

"Eh? Where did that lone patrol brother go? I just saw him over here."

Suddenly, a patrolling guard seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly asked his companions.

"Hey!? I remember he was over there just now..."

Looking in the direction pointed by the teammate, I saw that the brother who was originally responsible for patrolling the A3 area had disappeared at some point, leaving only a piece of cement ground emitting a creepy color under the dim light.

"Could it be that he was...?"

A look of fear flashed in the eyes of the person who spoke, and then he spoke nervously to his companions.

"Or we should gather all the brothers together. If we continue like this, I'm afraid we will be defeated one by one by that Masked Fool."

"But the captain asked us to patrol in teams of two. If we regroup now, will we lose our jobs?"

The patrol guard seemed a little hesitant about his teammates' suggestion. If they assembled the team without permission, it would be "disobeying military orders". The Interstellar Peace Company attached great importance to levels and regulations. They might lose their jobs because of this matter.
