Teyvat: Girls who sell comics, please have some self-respect.

The priestess muttered to herself.

Maple Leaf, who was outside the cave, did not dare to linger. After confirming that the other party was really there, he quietly withdrew.

He walked all the way to the beach and made sure no one was around before making the call.

"How does that go?"

Su Han's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

Kaedehara Manyo quickly reported, "My lord, just as you predicted. There is a space beneath that dry well, and at its deepest point, there really is a shrine maiden."

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

Su Han continued, "So how is she now?"

"I dared not disturb her, so I did not go in, but judging from the situation, it does not look good."

Kaedehara Manyo repeated the few words the other person had uttered.

Su Han looked puzzled.

What's happening here?

Who exactly is "he/she"?

I don't remember Hana Sanri saying this line when we were doing the mission. Could it be that she remembers someone?

Su Han pondered deeply, but could not come up with any answer.

The Divine Cherry Blossom Great Exorcism has not yet been activated, so Hana Sanri should not be able to recover her memories. However, she can remember some things right now, which is rather strange.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

The order was delayed.

Kaedehara Manyo could only ask proactively.

Once Su Han regained consciousness, he instructed, "You don't need to keep an eye on things in Konta Village anymore. Go to Futabasa and gather some intelligence for me, the more detailed the better. Your task during this time is to collect various materials."

"clear."

The phone hangs up.

Maple Plains, Manyo, begins its journey.

Meanwhile, Hu Tao traveled by carriage to Inazuma City, a place of freedom compared to the bustling Liyue.

She felt incredibly oppressed here.

Whether it was ordinary people on the street or soldiers on patrol, they all gave Hu Tao an uncomfortable feeling.

"Just as Su Han said, Inazuma is really terrible, not fun at all."

The streets should have been filled with joy, but the people were all serious and unsmiling, as if laughing would be a crime.

What a waste of such a beautiful view.

Hu Tao wandered around the city for a long time before finally stopping in front of a shop. She was thirsty but couldn't find a drink shop that was open.

Suddenly, the shop doors, which had been locked, opened.

"Come here quickly."

"what?"

Hu Tao looked at the face peeking out from inside the shop, not understanding what the other person meant.

The shops are all closed, why do we still need to welcome customers?

"Shh, keep your voice down. There are patrolling soldiers over there. Come over here quickly, or you'll get arrested."

This time, Hu Tao understood. She turned her head and saw that there were indeed several soldiers walking towards them.

Without thinking, Hu Tao quickly crawled inside.

It wasn't until the gate was locked that she realized the person calling her was a beautiful young woman.

"Hello, my name is Xiaogong. Judging from your attire, you must be a foreigner, right? Luckily you ran fast, otherwise I wouldn't know how to warn you."

"What are you reminding me of? I haven't broken the law."

Master Hu disliked this practice of hiding and running away very much.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Xiaogong smiled and explained, "Your possession of the Eye of God is a violation of the law. That's how the Eye Hunt Order came about. If I hadn't called you just now, those soldiers would have arrested you."

"Oh? It's that serious."

Hu Tao was shocked to hear this. She had initially thought that Su Han's Eye Hunting Order was just a bluff, but it turned out to be really that terrifying.

Xiaogong nodded slightly, then said helplessly, "Yes, it's not just you foreigners. Our own people are being arrested too. But don't be afraid, just tell me what help you need, and I'll help you."

"Could I have some water? I'm so thirsty."

"No problem, but we only have boiled water at home, not tea, because my dad doesn't really like it."

"Uh-huh."

moment.

Xiaogong brought over a pot of boiled water, which Hutao picked up and gulped down with gusto.

Until half a pot of water was drunk.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It feels so good, like I've come back to life."

Seeing Hu Tao's completely unpretentious manner, Xiao Gong found it quite amusing. She cupped her face in her hands and laughed, "Hehe, you're really interesting. By the way, Hu Tao, are you here in Inazuma as a merchant?"

"I guess so, but judging from the current situation, it's really not a good time to open a shop."

Although Su Han had warned her before she came.

But Hu Tao believed that practice makes perfect and insisted on coming to see for herself.

As a result, Inazuma's current situation is such that he's lucky to even be alive, let alone run a business.

I really regret it now!

The two chatted for a while.

When the topic turned to the situation on the street, Xiaogong mysteriously asked, "Wouldn't you like to have some fun?"

"Of course, I love lively atmospheres the most."

"Then come with me."

Xiaogong led Hu Tao to his backyard and then went into a warehouse.

Looking at the dark room, Hu Tao asked warily, "Hey, you're not going to kidnap me, are you?"

"That's not true at all. If you want some excitement, come with me. I promise you won't be disappointed. This is a method we came up with recently."

As Xiaogong spoke, he opened the cover on the ground.

A staircase appeared before them.

"Come on, this is where our Inatsuma's real life is."

"Interesting, there's actually a tunnel here."

As Hu Tao walked down the stairs, she found the place to be very deep. It took her a long time to walk down before she arrived at a huge corridor.

"Wait, what's going on?"

The streets outside were sparsely populated and the people were solemn.

But hidden underground is a corridor where countless people gather, singing and dancing, and many even chatting while holding comics.

Even more surprisingly, Hu Tao saw the Adventure King comic here.

"Haha, Luffy is really funny."

"If it weren't for the country's isolationist policies, I would have loved to go out and take on adventures."

"That's right, I still want to be a three-sword style practitioner, and show you my family's swordsmanship!"

"I want to be a chef, but I don't know martial arts."

Seeing such a prosperous scene, Hu Tao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Meanwhile, Xiaogong laughed and said, "You were terrified, weren't you? But there was nothing we could do about it. Everyone wanted to live, and even wanted to live their own lives, so for the past few days we've been resting during the day and frantically digging tunnels at night. It's only through our tireless efforts that we've achieved what we have today."

"You guys really have a lot of perseverance."

Such a large tunnel must have taken so much time and effort.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

However, Xiaogong laughed and said, "Anyway, everyone's free time anyway, and we can do whatever we like without any restrictions or worry about getting caught. Look... that's where we practice martial arts over there, and that's where we eat. It's quite lively here."

Chapter 172 Walnut: I don't have any other good points, except that I have a lot of money.

Happy Labor Day everyone!

"There's still a place to eat? Take me there quickly, I've been wandering around all morning and I'm starving."

"Come, follow me."

Xiaogong took Hutao's hand and led her to a vendor's stall.

Looking at the steaming ramen, Hu Tao was very surprised. She asked, "There's ramen underground? That's amazing!"

"Actually, that's not how it works. Tonsen Ramen is made at home and then transported here through the delivery chute above! That's basically how the garbage is handled too. The underground corridor is a refuge for everyone, so it's impossible to cook on-site."

After hearing Xiaogong's explanation, Hu Tao finally understood the principle.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; the underground space is too small to open a shop or cook.

Transporting goods in from outside is not only simple but also convenient.

"So, the other products here are the same?"

Hu Tao glanced around and noticed that there were many vendors in the corridor, selling everything from large fruits to small items like needles and thread.

It's quite comprehensive.
