Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained three Entangled Bonds."

As the treasure chest opened, a system notification sounded in Fang Xun's mind.

After a long and hard night, I finally managed to get my hands on the three Entangled Fates.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun discovered a bomb in the corner of the treasure chest.

The bomb looked quite old; it was rusty, and the red paint had faded.

Upon disassembling the bomb, there was no gunpowder inside; it was lightweight and looked more like a souvenir.

Upon seeing the four-leaf clover pattern on the bomb, Fang Xun realized that the so-called 'witch's treasure' referred to Alice's bomb.

This bomb should hold unique sentimental value for Alice.

It's just that so much time has passed, and Alice may have even forgotten about the existence of that bomb...

Fang Xun put the bomb into his backpack, thinking that maybe one day it would come in handy.

After finishing all this, Fang Xun went to find Qi Qi and Taro Maru to meet up and see how Qi Qi's investigation was progressing.

Chapter 337 I didn't say I wouldn't answer, but you're asking anyway.

Fang Xun slowly walked forward to check on Qi Qi's interrogation.

He saw Qiqi use her ice elemental power, transforming into frost and snow that landed on the bandit leader.

Fang Xun felt that the temperature around him had dropped several degrees. If the snow continued, it might become a small 'Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain'.

The bandit leader was shivering from the cold in the artificial snowfall, his lips turning white.

Even so, he still gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

Fang Xun thought that the thieves would all abandon each other when disaster struck, but he didn't expect that there were still some who were loyal.

This made Fang Xun look at him with new respect.

At this moment, the bandit leader spoke up, annoyed: "Little girl, just ask what you want to ask..."

"You didn't even ask, how am I supposed to answer?"

"I'll tell you everything I know, please don't let me freeze..."

At this moment, the bandit leader was truly on the verge of tears.

After Qiqi arrived, she didn't ask any questions and just started snowing. What kind of interrogation is this...?

Actually, you don't need to torture me; I'd be happy to confess...

Fang Xun was stunned. He thought the bandit leader was keeping his mouth shut and would never reveal the secrets of the bandit gang, even if it meant his death.

It turns out that Qiqi forgot to ask the question.

If Qiqi had asked the question earlier, the bandit leader might have confessed much sooner.

Qiqi blinked, tilted her head, and said, "The question Qiqi wanted to ask was... I'm sorry... Qiqi forgot..."

The leader of the thieves suddenly felt very tired.

Was all that torture I endured for nothing...?

Destroy Teyvat, quickly.

"Qiqi, leave this to me. Thank you for your hard work."

At this moment, Fang Xun walked out from the side.

He reached out and ruffled Qiqi's hair to comfort her.

At the same time, we are considering arranging other work for Qiqi in the future, and we will not consider tasks related to memory for the time being.

"Fang Xun...I'm sorry..."

Qiqi lowered her head, her voice somewhat dejected.

She was saddened because she couldn't help Shang Fangxun.

"Silly girl, there's no need to apologize." Fang Xun reached out and pinched Qi Qi's cheek.

"In my opinion, you have done very well."

"At least, I saw a beautiful snowfall."

"really?"

Qi Qi looked up at Fang Xun, her eyes regaining their light.

In fact, a beautiful snowfall had absolutely nothing to do with the mission Fang Xun mentioned.

But Qiqi wouldn't think that much about it, because Fang Xun liked watching the snow fall from her eyes, and that was enough for him.

"Of course it's true, Barbatos is lying."

After calming Qi Qi down, Fang Xun turned to the bandit leader and asked, word by word, "What's your big move tonight?"

"Don't tell me you didn't. I heard you complain when you were digging the hole."

"Set the village on fire...make a commotion to attract the attention of the Knights of Favonius..."

The bandit leader blurted everything out because he didn't want to suffer Qiqi's torment again.

Village arson?

To attract the attention of the Knights of Favonius?

Upon hearing the bandit leader's words, Fang Xun subconsciously thought of someone.

Rosalia.

This is clearly stated in Rosalia's backstory.

She was born in a remote village, and her childhood should have been happy and fulfilling.

But one day, a band of thieves massacred the village and kidnapped the young girl.

It's fair to say that the band of thieves drastically changed Rosalia's life trajectory.

She lost her family and grew up wildly in a gang of thieves.

For Rosalia, the daily hunger and cold in the thieves' group were minor matters; survival was the most important thing.

Places like the thieves' camp are fraught with danger.

Two people who are on friendly terms one second may turn on each other the next second due to unequal distribution of benefits.

Growing up in such an environment, Rosalia developed a withdrawn and aloof personality.

So Fang Xun was thinking...

If the bandit gang hadn't massacred the village, Rosalia wouldn't have become a bandit.

So what will her life trajectory be like?

Will she still become that nun who smokes, skips class, and carries out justice in the darkness?

Fang Xun didn't know either.

But he wanted to change the course of the tragedy.

...

I did some research on Rosalia, so this chapter is a little late. Sorry!

I have to adjust the update schedule tomorrow, I swear on my life in the name of Barbatos! Really!

Finally, everyone, get some rest early, goodnight.

Chapter 338 He was saying: Heaven and Earth are in motion.

Near the Temple of a Thousand Winds lies a remote village.

Although the villagers living here are poor, they all face each day with a positive and optimistic attitude.

They don't dream of becoming rich and famous; as long as they don't go hungry or cold, they are content with their lives.

Logically speaking, no one would pay attention to such an inconspicuous village.

But a gang of thieves was eager to make their move. They arrived silently at the village entrance under the cover of darkness, their weapons gleaming ominously in the moonlight.

However, before the bandits could make their next move, the barking of dogs in the village rang out one after another, as if warning the villagers of impending danger.

The villagers living at the village entrance were the first to notice something was wrong and turned on the lights in their rooms.

When the villagers saw the gang of thieves gathered at the village entrance, they were stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly in the direction of the village: "Thieves, the gang of thieves is here! Everyone run away!"

After these words were spoken, many more households turned on their lights.

Many villagers didn't even have time to pack their belongings; they hurriedly threw on their clothes and began to flee for their lives.

The reason is simple: the thieves not only plunder money, but also regard human life as worthless.

You often hear stories of villages being attacked by bandits, resulting in the loss of both people and valuables.

Nobody wanted to have a direct confrontation with these desperados, so they had no choice but to run for their lives.

No one knew why the bandit gang would be interested in a poor village, but no one was thinking about it at the moment.

As more and more villagers learned of the bandits' arrival, they panicked and began to flee for their lives.

This scene naturally came to the attention of the thieves.

The bandits remained unmoved as the villagers fled, showing no intention of giving chase.

"The night is long, so it's good to find some fun to pass the time."

"Let the prey run first; I like to see their terrified faces."

The thieves didn't give chase because they wanted to play a cat-and-mouse game.

This village is too remote, far from Mondstadt.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the Knights of Favonius sending reinforcements.

In other words, the night was entirely under the control of the thieves.
