"Are those monsters really your creation?" Paimon's words lingered on her lips, and she almost blurted out the question "You still say it wasn't you?!", but reason pulled her back in time. She recalled Luo's patient explanation just now, and swallowed the impulse back.

An indescribable complex emotion emerged on the face of the paper figurine of "Shiki Taisho", and the apology seemed to seep out from every inch of its skin made of paper and ink. It said: "I am really sorry... My memory is like a lake shrouded in fog. I cannot clearly reflect the images of the past, so I cannot give a clear answer for the time being."

Ying understood the current situation of General Shiki, but continued to ask: "So what kind of existence are you?"

The little paper figurine blushed, "I... I... I'm so sorry! As a shikigami, I only know that I'm a ryoshi, but I can't even remember who my master is or what the purpose of my creation is. How out of control am I!"

【About me playing Onmyoji in Genshin Impact】

[Could that dormitory owner be Abe Haruaki? ]

Seeing this, Paimon quickly floated over to General Shiki, patted his paper figure in understanding, and consoled him, "It's okay. Usually, amnesiacs will remember something when they return to a familiar place. Why don't you go back to the secret realm and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, General Shiki nodded in approval, his voice firm, "Yes, I am preparing to return to the Onmyoji."

"Although I still have many questions about myself, I can feel that my power has the same origin as this secret realm... Perhaps there is no need to doubt it, I am one with it."

At this point, its tone became more confident, but then it was replaced by a hint of uncertainty: "I... should be able to completely control it! I don't know why, I always have this idea..."

After all, General Shiki has lost his memory. Even though his heart tells it that this is indeed the case, it still doesn't quite believe itself.

Paimon encouraged, "Everyone says that shikigami are helpers in exorcising evil spirits and slaying demons, so maybe you were put here to guard the gate!"

"There are always stories like that in books, right? People who lose their memories forget that they once had great power, but once they remember it, they immediately become invincible!"

【What novel plot】

【Reading Yaedou light novel】

General Shiki's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "To be honest, I have the same idea. If possible, could you lend me a hand?"

Paimon: "So the most urgent thing is to help you regain your memory, right? If you regain your memory, you may be able to regain control of the secret realm and stop the monsters from escaping."

"Everyone! I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart! As long as I can get my memory back, I should be able to do something for you all..."

General Shiki's little face was filled with gratitude.

"Ying, Luo, let's get ready and find out what's going on in the secret realm!" Paimon looked at Ying and Luo.

Ying nodded, gathered her fists and raised them high: "Let's go!"

Inside the "Juelu Yin-Yang Riao".

"After returning to the Onmyoji, I can vaguely feel that my magic power is recovering... Whew, I feel a little better." General Shiki felt like he had returned home (it seemed to be the case), and he felt much more at ease.

Paimon suddenly stopped (huh? It seems there is no such thing?), and pointed his finger forward: "Wait! Hey, look, there, there may be someone fighting over there?!" There was a hint of nervousness in Paimon's voice, but when he thought of Ying and Luo's fighting power, he relaxed all of a sudden.

Following Paimon's guidance, everyone involuntarily quickened their pace. The sound of weapons clashing in front of them became clearer and clearer, entering their eardrums like thunder, foreshadowing the fierceness of the battle.

"There are people in the secret realm?! This... is a bit unbelievable. Ordinary people would not rashly enter such a secret realm..."

Ying's eyes suddenly became sharp. She summoned the edgeless sword and became alert: "Could it be that someone is fighting a monster?"

[Could it be that the samurai from the shogunate came in first? ]

[What's so incredible? What is the screenwriter doing? Otherwise, is it also incredible for the protagonists to come in? ]

【Too many slots but no mouth】

When they approached, they saw two familiar figures fighting fiercely in the center of the battlefield, with sparks flying as their weapons collided.

"Oh? Traveler, what a coincidence, how did you enter such a dangerous secret place? Don't worry, I will come and chat with you after I have dealt with this difficult opponent."

One of the parties was Young Master Tartaglia. He distanced himself from the other party, while not forgetting to give Ying and Luo a sunny smile.

"Huh? So you two are old acquaintances?" The other party's voice was calm and steady. It was Yuri Sasa. Seeing that it was an acquaintance, he immediately retracted his longbow and his fighting posture disappeared in an instant.

"It seems this is just a misunderstanding. I was reckless." Sasayuri bowed slightly to express her apology.

Tartaglia was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Huh? So you also know the Traveler. It doesn't matter. We might as well continue this unfinished contest and let the Traveler and Luo and the others be witnesses. How about that?"

Sasayuri shook her head slightly. Her voice was steady and firm, as if every word carried an unquestionable force: "I always do what I should and don't do what I shouldn't. For me, meaningless fights are just a waste of time and energy."

"Oh, you really don't want to fight? What a pity, okay, there is a long way to go. After all, this is a secret place, and we don't know what kind of dangerous situation will arise. Let's have a chance to spar again in the future." Tartaglia did not force it anymore. He took back the double blades in his hands, walked towards Ying and Luo, and said, "Long time no see, traveler, you are braver now. You actually dared to break into such a dangerous secret place."

[It's so funny, is there any danger of facing General Lei Dian in the secret realm? 】

[With Luo around, how many dangerous places can there be in Teyvat?]

Sasayuri also slowly approached and introduced herself to Tartaglia: "Hello, my name is Sasayuri."

Tartaglia also quickly returned his greeting with a sincere smile. He was always friendly to those who were powerful. "Hello, hello. Just call me Tartaglia. I am the Fatui executive officer, the last 'Prince'."

"The Fatui?" Sasayuri narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't have a good impression of the Fatui.

The Fatui not only harmed Inazuma, but also induced Tenryo Fukushige to betray the general. Even Ying's son (crossed out) Creation was persecuted by the Fatui's doctor.

"Sir, your presence here is probably not a good thing, right?"

Thinking of how the Childe said one thing in front of the people of Liyue and another behind their backs, Paimon looked at Tartaglia warily and said secretly, "Actually, I think it's okay for you to continue fighting."

[Paimon’s daily life of fanning the flames, haha]

[Tartaria: No way, family, are you really going to do this to me? ]

Sasayuri's eyes became sharper. He stared directly at Tartaglia, as if to penetrate his soul: "So, are we still enemies?"

Tartaglia seemed to be completely oblivious to the pressure from Sasayuri's eyes. He pouted and said to Paimon:

"Hey, hey, hey, you're talking about me like this after not seeing me for such a long time?" Tartaglia felt quite hurt.

[Duck: Feeling aggrieved]

[Paimon: Who are you? Do you know me well? Don't try to get close to me.]

[Paimon, bad! The aggrieved Duck, cute! ]

[Master Clear Soup... Hmm? It doesn't look like a clear soup.]

Paimon was teased by Tartaglia, but thinking of what Tartaglia had done before, he snorted coldly: "You, you know it well in your heart!"

Tartaglia smiled bitterly and explained, "I admit that I did become your enemy in Liyue because of the Ice Queen's orders and the Rock Emperor's contract, but that was my duty. The events of Liyue are over, and I will no longer attack you."

Paimon still didn't believe him: "Who knows if you're coming to Inazuma to do something bad again? I tell you, we're on Inazuma's side."

"Don't worry, my mission to come to Inazuma this time has been accomplished. Now is my personal time, and I won't do anything unimportant."

Paimon was a little surprised: "Personal time? Are you going to say you are here to travel in the secret land?"

Tartaglia laughed heartily and said, "Don't you know me yet? I'm eager to fight. It just so happens that a dangerous secret place has appeared at the location of the mission. With such a good opportunity, of course I have to enjoy it."

"It seems so." Paimon was convinced by Tartaglia's reason, and changed the subject and continued to ask: "Then what is your mission in Inazuma? If you don't explain it clearly, we can't believe you."

"Although the mission of the executor cannot be told to others, since it is you..." Tartaglia's eyes inadvertently swept over Luo and said, "Then there is nothing to hide. I came to Inazuma this time to investigate the disappearance of the stragglers."

As soon as Tartaglia finished speaking, Paimon cast a suspicious look at him. Wasn't Sanbing taken back to the Naruto Shrine by Kyon? Now he is probably feeling the love of his aunt (Raiden Shin).

And you still say you're not here to cause trouble?

Although it seems that Xu Tan was at fault first... No, no, it is Doctor Mingming who is the culprit.

Tartaglia continued, "But now I have discussed it with the person called 'Xu Tan'. She told me some of the things the doctor did to the soldiers, and now the soldiers' reaction to what the doctor did. To be honest, as a colleague, I also can't stand the doctor's behavior... Well, don't tell anyone, I usually don't say bad things about my colleagues."

[Will Tartaglia pay attention to these things? Isn't fighting the only thing in his eyes? ]

[After all, Sanbing is also an executive officer, and his ranking is above him, so it's a bit sad for the fox when the rabbit dies.]

[Who cares? As long as you scold the doctor, we will always be good brothers! ]

[Duck Duck scolds the doctor, Duck Duck is good]

"Whether or not the Skirmisher will return to the Fatui has nothing to do with me. My mission is only to investigate Skirmisher's current situation, not to bring him back. Now that the intelligence has been obtained, the mission is over, and I will not do anything else."

Tartaglia spread his hands and said, "Actually, when I first came here, I thought this secret realm might be related to Sanbing, but I didn't expect that he was not here at all."

"But by coincidence, I met Xu Tan at the entrance of the secret realm. She told me about the current situation of the scattered soldiers and then left. But I thought, since I'm here, I might as well take a look at what interesting things are inside this secret realm."

“So, you saw me.”

"Why would 'Hyotan' tell you about the scattered soldiers?" Paimon's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought he had seen through Tartaglia's loophole and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hehe, I caught you with your braid!"

"She has cooperated with us Fatui." Tartaglia scratched his head helplessly and explained, "She was the one who took over the affairs of the Fatui Inazuma not long ago. It seems that she made some kind of deal with the Queen, and she didn't get it back until now..."

At this point, a gleam of sudden enlightenment flashed in Tartaglia's eyes. He then realized something. Now in Inazuma, he was the highest person in charge.

"Oh, should I have gone to the base to look for her? She just came to this secret place just to look for me."

Tartaglia felt a little guilty, but quickly put it aside: "Forget it, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

[This is so funny. So, in fact, Yaya’s coming to the secret realm has nothing to do with the scattered soldiers. She just wanted to come here on her own.]

[『Xu Tan』: Where is he?! Where is such a grown-up boy?!]

[‘Xu Tan’ has to find it himself. It’s so funny. I’m afraid that ‘Xu Tan’ has made a note of it in his notebook.]

[Let us observe three seconds of silence for Yaya]

[But that was 『Hyūtan』. Maybe she had already predicted that Tartaglia would not go to the Fatui base, but would come to the secret realm instead. So 『Hyūtan』 did not go to the base at all, but came directly to the secret realm to find Tartaglia.]

[Didn’t Luo just say that there are weapons for me in the secret realm? That must have been placed there by Xu Tan, maybe it’s on the way.]

[Is it possible that Xu Tan was the one who brought the young master to the secret realm? In this way, Xu Tan would not have to go to Bayun Island.]

[Frog fun, this is really reasonable. Duck Duck was sold and is still counting money for others]

[It's okay, Yaya doesn't care ()]

"...I'll believe you for now." Paimon thought Tartaglia's explanation was quite reasonable and he didn't seem to be lying, so in the end he of course chose to forgive him (not really).

Ying looked at Sasayuri: "By the way, Mr. Sasayuri, why are you here too?"

"You are the master's guest, so you don't have to be so polite to me. Just call me Sasayuri." Sasayuri bowed slightly to Ying and continued:

"The Lord has seen the report of Tianling Fengxing on this secret realm. She hopes to use this opportunity to train Tianling Fengxing, but also wants to ensure their safety and the safety of the civilians, so she sent me to protect them in secret."

Paimon suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why you didn't come to take care of such a big thing happening to Inazuma. It turns out you really wanted to test the Tenryo Bugyo after the Great Purge."
