[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

The day the security forces withdrew, Chloe couldn't wait to go out and find out what the neighbors thought.

As soon as she went out, the guy guarding the door immediately followed her and kept following her closely.

As the one specially left behind by Villette, this remaining security agency's procedural order stated that he must not be more than three meters away from her, which can be said to be extremely conscientious.

Although it was she who proposed the idea of ​​having a personal bodyguard, and Villette even considerately remembered her words that she didn't want to see the cold clockwork man all the time, and limited the condition of having him stay with her only when she went out, Chloe still felt a little distressed when looking at the tall security agency in front of her.

Bringing such a big thing with me, it would be too conspicuous to eavesdrop outside...

Chloe's tangled face wrinkled into a ball, but finally she chose to give up.

There's no need to rush into things like getting information, it's better to take it slow.

I just didn't expect that the delay would last for several days.

During this period, Chloe also received a letter from Villette, which was delivered by the security agency at the door and conveyed to her the current progress of the investigation.

The investigation progress of the tabloid is still stagnant, but there are solid clues about the last pure white lily of the valley. Zhuyingting found strange traces near her home, and followed the clues to find a scrapped civilian clockwork robot on the outskirts of Fontaine.

There was also a small tape recorder on the clockwork man's body. Perhaps because it was out of battery, it only played a few sporadic syllables intermittently.

After being repaired by professionals, it was confirmed that the content recorded in the recorder was the words of the so-called "neighbor" that Chloe had heard.

Although the civilian clockwork men and the security agencies are of the same lineage, they have different tendencies. The former are smaller in size and indeed similar to humans, and can indeed be easily mistaken for humans if they are disguised and not looked at carefully.

In short, it can be confirmed that this clockwork man is the one who shot Chloe.

The only pity is that they couldn't find any clues about the pure white lily of the valley from the clockwork man. Although the Shadow Court has begun to investigate buyers of this type of clockwork man, the huge workload may take a long time. At least for now, Chloe can only continue to stay at home.

After reading this, Chloe sighed helplessly, folded the letter again and put it away.

If it weren't for Villette's letter, she would have almost forgotten about it. After all, it has been too quiet recently.

She didn't know if it was because the security guard standing in front of her door was too scary or something, but even the postman who delivered newspapers to her recently started speaking in a whisper.

Not to mention the pure white lily of the valley, even the dogs that passed by her door recently disappeared.

The overly safe situation made Chloe let down her guard.

She couldn't help but suspect that the guy who wrote the threatening letter was really just a tiger with a strong appearance but a weak heart. After all, didn't she use soft bullets at the beginning? Didn't she know that doing so would alert the enemy? If he really wanted to kill her, he should have done it long ago, right?
Chloe was puzzled.

Since she couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it. She collapsed on the sofa, holding the little sea otter and fell asleep.

As if it understood that its owner had been in a bad mood recently, the little sea otter nestled in her arms without making any noise, and played with the small shells in its hands until they became cracked without complaining.

In such a quiet environment, Chloe gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the sun had already set outside. She rubbed her still hazy eyes and was about to go to the kitchen to make herself something to eat, but there was another knock on the door.

Chloe opened the door without any precautions. Standing outside the house was her security agency as usual, holding a box of unknown content in its hands, just like when it handed her something that Violet asked her to pass on. But didn't she receive Violet's letter this morning? Could it be that there was something else that she forgot to tell her?
Chloe was surprised, took the box and opened it.

A quarter of an hour ago, in Mo Mang Palace.

After Sedna said goodbye to the last employee of the Tribunal of Compulsion and was about to pack up her things to go home, the door of the Inquisitor's office suddenly opened.

She tilted her head to look at the man coming out and took the initiative to greet him: "Then Master Villette, good afternoon!"

"It's Sedna," Villette responded with a gentle expression, "You haven't gone home yet?"

Sedna came out of the small cubicle at the front desk holding her backpack and hopped over to him. "I was just about to go back. But by the way, did Lord Villette get off work so early today?"

In the past, he would always handle cases until very late, and this is the first time I have seen him at this time!
Navelette nodded: "I plan to visit someone today."

"Are you going to visit Chloe?" Sedna's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked very excited.

Violet always felt that her look was a little ominous, but he was not going to lie, so he replied hesitantly: "Yes. Because of the pure white lily of the valley, Ms. Chloe was forced to stay at home for an indefinite period of time. I was worried that she would be bored, so I went to see her."

Although it happened several days ago, he still remembered how Chloe complained to him about the lack of vitality at home.

He couldn't agree to stay at her house temporarily, but he could still visit her when he had free time.

It so happened that there were fewer things to deal with today, so he worked hard to finally have some free time just in time for getting off work.

Sedna showed an expression of "as expected", and her mouth became a small V shape with joy: "I knew it, that Lord Villette really cares about Chloe!"

Do you care... a lot?

That Villette couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her lips, as if to hide the slightly changing expression because of her words.

He coughed lightly and said, "Ms. Chloe is a very friendly person."

Sedna agreed, "Yes, Chloe is a super nice person! She helps me a lot."

Although it was just some small things like taking things down from high places, the fact that she was the only one in the entire Court of Compulsion who found herself in need of such help was enough to prove this point.

"Although Lord Violet and Chloe both said that what was written in the tabloids was false, sometimes I would wish it was true." Sedna shrugged.

The simple Meilushin didn't know what was the most annoying thing about this report. She just felt sorry that the two people she liked didn't seem to be really close.

But now it seems that the two people are not as strangers as she thought!
Sedna thought excitedly.

As they happened to have arrived at the gate of Mo Mang Palace, she felt that she could not slow down Villette's pace in finding Chloe, so she trotted away in a hurry.

Only after they were far away did she turn around and wave goodbye to him: "See you tomorrow, Master Villette! By the way, Chloe likes to eat the cakes from the Debo Hotel as much as I do!"
