Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 405
"Mr. Zhongli, I thought you were a loyal supporter of Emperor Yanwang..."

Ning Lan blinked her black pupils. For some reason, the traveler always felt that the other party's tone seemed sharper than when she was talking to her.

"Then can I ask you, how will the immortal ancestor Fashui deal with it after the gift ceremony is over?"

"According to the ancestral system...cremation."

Zhong Li spit out a few words leisurely.

"Since this is the case, can you explain to me that if there is no order from the Seven Stars, how can you judge that the immortal ancestor Fashui is indeed the remains of the Emperor Yan?"

Ning Lan confronted each other and asked questions, but Zhong Li did not show any impatience.

"I can't prove this matter. In other words, if Miss Ning Lan dies here immediately, leaving her body empty, how can I judge that this body is the real you, not a little bit of salt?"

Paimon and the traveler who were watching were choked up at the same time. It was the first time for them to see the analogy of cursing the sudden death of a client face to face.

"Hehehe... You are very eloquent, and you know a lot of secrets."

Zhong Li summed up the death of Emperor Yan Wang without hesitation, and then turned to look at Red Farmas beside him.

"Then, sister Ning Lan, has she ever thought about how to tell whether a god has died or not for a mere mortal Seven Star?"

As everyone talked, the traveler became more and more unable to see through the real purpose of Miss Ning Lan.

"If you don't have a direction to investigate, I can provide you with some information."

Ning Lan's words became more and more intense, but Zhong Li's golden eyes like stone amber just stared at her fixedly.

It is worthy of being a traveling companion with a traveler, and the way of thinking is also different from ordinary people.

"It sounds reasonable. No wonder the Hall of Rebirth has been able to survive under the rule of the Liyue Seven Stars to this day."

"You and your partner are free to investigate in your own way, and I will not participate or interfere. If you feel that there is danger, you can terminate this commission. I think these deposits are enough to pay for your hard work."

Ning Lan didn't care about Zhongli's rhetorical question, and praised the other party's knowledge quite politely.

"Since the immortal ancestor Fashui stayed in the Hall of Rebirth for a short time, did you see any fatal injuries on the emperor's immortal ancestor Fashui at that time?"

"Hey, Famas, don't stand next to me!"

"Are you talking about the rumors about the envoys of the solstice?"

"As for the unresolved grievances and long-cherished wishes of the deceased...whether they were betrayed by someone they trusted or died of being involved in an unreasonable conspiracy, those are not things that people in this world need to care about."

Paimeng hurriedly interrupted the young man's words, and Zhong Li, who was the person involved, had to turn his head away from looking at him.

Ning Lan was not surprised when she heard what the traveler said, and even raised her hands to applaud with admiration.

"Miss Ning Lan, do you suspect Qi Xing is the one who caused this?"

But Ning Lan didn't respond to the traveler's words, she just sneered.

"Only a murderer who kills with his own hands can say with certainty that the victim is dead..."

"Miss Ning Lan, as you said, there are indeed many doubts about Ningguang's announcement of the emperor's death. But if you go deep into the realm of gods, I am afraid that no one in this world can explain clearly..."

"There are a lot of rumors these days. I believe you have heard a lot. There may be some people or forces behind this matter."

Besides being a follower of the God of Salt, she also seemed to lack due respect for Seven Stars and Ningguang.

The traveler quickly realized that he couldn't help but be amazed by Ning Lan's sharp movements, and then followed the other party's gaze to guess: "Ningguang has issued an official document to clarify this matter, and the scene of the emperor falling from the sky is obvious to all... Miss Ning Lan doubts The death of the emperor was caused by the collusion between Qixing and fools?"

"You can rest assured that since I have invited you, I definitely did not intend to discuss the true meaning of life and death."

Ning Lan followed Zhongli's gaze, smiled at Farmas, and then changed the topic.

Few people know that the followers of Heulia, the god of salt, firmly believe that they will turn into pillars of salt after death and enter the kingdom of God without pain.

"Whether it is a person or a god, after death, everything in this world is meaningless to him. Therefore, in my opinion, the so-called rebirth is just returning to the cycle of heaven and earth and continuing in other ways."

Yingmei hesitated for a long time, looked at the expressions of Famas and Zhongli, and then nodded to accept the commission, but she still expressed her opinion firmly.

"It's a serious crime to communicate with foreign countries. Qi Xing is an extremely human minister, so why do such self-destructive things."

Ning Lan interrupted Zhongli, agreeing with Famas' guess.

"But you didn't answer my doubt... Maybe I should ask it in a different way."

"Not everyone can be a national thief. Under the watchful eyes of the emperor and the immortals, the more powerful people are, the less courageous they are. But it doesn't mean they don't have the courage to do other things."

"Then how do you confirm that Morax has left, and there is no possibility of resurrection?"

Yingmei was thinking about how to complete the other party's investigation commission, but Famas, who was listening, smiled very happily, and deliberately used words to hint at Ning Lan who was suspicious.

Zhong Li was silent for a long while before responding with lowered eyes.

"I know that you are from a foreign land, and this is why I want to entrust you."

"The ferryman of the past life will not be contaminated by karma. This is also the foundation of the continuation and inheritance of the past life hall."

"To borrow a word from my friend. To the strong, death is just another great adventure."

"No, I doubt everything about Liyue."

"However, what you mean is that this so-called gift ceremony is actually just a ceremony to fool the common people, and the Hall of the Past doesn't care about the cause of death of the deceased, even if it is a god..."

"No." Zhongli crossed his arms and shook his head slightly, "But maybe, the so-called fatal injury is only a concept for human beings, and gods don't need fatal injuries to prove that they are dead."

"The essence of the gift ceremony is a funeral, and it's just a ceremony for those who are still in the world to express their grief."

The traveler was quite surprised. In her impression, Mr. Zhongli has always been eloquent. He can quote scriptures and quotes in the face of any questioning.

Ning Lan turned around and cast her gaze at the Beiguo Bank not far from the Hall of Rebirth.

"I don't think the people of Rock God will harm their gods. Even if you have prejudices against most people in Liyue, I still stick to my point of view."

"After all, even us mortals can be revived by the gods with great power."

"You and Ningguang have an unusual friendship, but you can also hang out in the public opinion and observe public opinion. Liyue is so big, but no one is more suitable to investigate this matter than your identity and position."

"In the end...I guarantee that no matter what the outcome is, you will not be involved. If you need a contract to clarify these terms, then that's fine...even though Morax, the god of the contract, is dead."

Ning Lan's words are all about this, and the commission is so generous, the traveler also knows the truth about the emperor's passing, but how to tell this lady who believes in the God of Salt?
And Zhongli, did he really murder that demon god named "Heulia"?
"If your investigation has any results, you can send the information directly to Yinyuan Hall."

"Or go to Zhudianfang and find a woman named Wanyan to connect with."

Ning Lan didn't care so much, and she wasn't worried that a few people would report her identity to Qi Xing. The expression on her face changed back to that tired and dazed look, and she turned and left with the bookcase on her back.
