Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

At this point, they only considered it as idle chatter and didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, this is too outrageous.

More importantly, it's terrifying.

People subconsciously avoid this possibility.

At most, someone might plan to sneak off the Void Terminal at night to try it out.

"Since you know it's outrageous, and there's truth to it and falsehood to some of you who know each other, just talk about it among yourselves and don't spread it around."

Although the squad leader didn't believe these ridiculous rumors that were so detailed and convincing, he knew with his own eyes that even the most outrageous statements would find a market in Sumeru City.

If anything goes wrong, he'll be the one in trouble.

Moreover, intelligence is still active in the desert, and this might be part of their plan as well. It would be better to give them a warning in advance.

"Okay, don't worry, we were just saying that."

The group remained completely unconcerned.

After receiving such assurances, the squad leader simply shook his head and left.

However, quite coincidentally, just as I stepped out the door, I received news that the Order of the Order had changed my mission.

Someone discovered the desert people's hideout and ordered them to gather at a designated location to prepare for an attack.

"Everyone is here, assemble!"

The squad leader gathered his team to prepare for departure, while in the Order of the Order, Azar's hands, holding the Void Terminal, trembled slightly.

He was both frightened and shocked by the specially made void terminal in his hand.

The keywords they previously set are now triggering alarms everywhere.

Throughout the entire city of Sumeru, people were talking about their highly confidential information. Although the scope of the discussion was still small and the number of people involved was limited, it was still spreading everywhere.

Scenes similar to those in this shop are playing out all over Sumeru City, and some have even revealed their actions in detail.

Such a thorough and detailed leak almost instantly led Hazard to narrow down the suspects to a limited number of people.

Aside from the few people from the Fools' group, there were only a few other sages on my side who had participated.

"Investigate and find out who leaked the information!"

Hazard growled in a low voice, issuing the order for a thorough investigation.

Then, they turned their attention to Sumeru City, where news was spreading everywhere.

The option of immediately terminating the operation and making a temporary compromise, which we were previously debating, is now completely unavailable.

Not only can we not stop, but we must persevere to the end without wavering in the slightest.

Chapter 257 Taking the blame

Given the current trajectory, if it stops, it will be a confirmed fact.

At that point, it'll be like yellow mud rotting in your crotch—it'll be like excrement, if not excrement.

We must not stop until we have all those in the know under control.

However, given the current widespread nature of these plants, it will likely be very difficult to control them now.

Ultimately, Hazard's control over the Council was not absolute; he only fooled everyone for a period of time, rather than truly turning the Council into his personal fiefdom.

While controlling those who have inside information, it is also necessary to control the thirty mercenaries in the group who have accidentally come into contact with the information, in order to ensure that the information does not continue to be leaked.

Moreover, there are people spreading rumors in secret, opposing them.

The Order of the Fathers is severely understaffed.

Sure enough, not long after that, an accident happened.

High Commissioner Seno attacked the sheriff's office and kidnapped Hain.

Hazard's head was buzzing; one problem after another had just been solved.

While preparations were still underway in Sumeru City, Sino encountered another problem.

I don't know how the Fools managed to "take emergency measures," they couldn't even fool Seno.

Fortunately, it was only Seno who was prepared.

While trying to calm himself down and suppress the rising blood pressure online, he urgently issued a notice in the virtual world.

[Former Grand Disciplinarian Seno defected to the Order of the Church at the instigation of the Desert. He has been relieved of his duties as Grand Disciplinarian and is now wanted throughout the region! Anyone who has witnessed this is urged to report it to the Order of the Church immediately.]

With Sino's desert heritage, convincing the vast majority of people of this shouldn't be a problem.

Only a few people remain...

Hazard looked at the doctor beside him.

"The Commandment Council is already severely understaffed."

The doctor didn't say much, but nodded silently, then turned and ordered the Fools soldiers in Sumeru City to join the Order of the Church.

Compared to the dismal control of the Order of the Fathers, the soldiers of the Fatui under his command were the truly reliable force.

“Our people have confirmed that this is an operation behind the scenes in the desert, and Inazuma also played a significant role. In addition, coincidentally, I have found your mole, and he has already been apprehended.”

The doctor handed Hazard an opened letter.

Hazard took it, opened it, and immediately his expression turned even more grim.

It's Cavajra.

Sure enough, I could tell he wasn't right before; he was hesitant and soft-hearted, unwilling to accept the sacrifices required to create a god.

Damn it, even though he had made arrangements, he still couldn't stop Cavajra's actions.

In the end, it was the Fools who were the first to discover and intercept the letter.

Fortunately, it was stopped; otherwise, the situation might have escalated further.

"Where is he now?"

“He’s in the lounge over there, and my men are watching over him.”

"I gonna go see."

Hazard walked straight toward the lounge.

Upon opening the door, Cavajra was found to be handcuffed, his movements restricted.

He gestured for the surrounding Fool soldiers to move aside, and then sat down opposite Kavaja.

"It seems I've been discovered."

Cavajra, with his head down, was the first to ask Hazard a question.

"Yes, you tried to write a letter to Tina, your favorite student in Huacheng Guo, hoping to tell him the truth and let him find a way to stop it. Unfortunately, you were still one step behind."

Hazard threw the opened letter he received from the doctor onto the table.

Cavajra took the cuffed hands and examined them.

It is indeed a handwritten letter.

Cavajra, dejected after confirming the failure of his operation, stared at the letter without uttering a word.

In his view, even the last hope had been shattered.

"Why can't you understand? Once the God of Righteousness is born, Mount Sumeru will welcome its new deity. We can return to the era of the Great Tree King five hundred years ago, and we can obtain a continuous stream of knowledge. For this, all sacrifices and costs are worthwhile. Why can't you understand?"

Hazard went on and on, explaining the pros and cons in his eyes, trying his best to persuade Cavajra.

Although Cavajra was an inside man, his wisdom was still needed for the god-making plan.

There's still a long way to go before the development of the "God of Machines" is complete. At this point, Cavaja's withdrawal will slow down the progress.

Hazard was still trying to persuade Cavajra, hoping to keep him under strict surveillance and make use of him, but unfortunately, Cavajra remained silent with his head down.

In Hazard's view, this was a silent rejection.

The series of troubles in such a short period of time had already worn down Hazard's patience. Seeing Cavajra's slacking attitude, Hazard finally couldn't hold back and exploded.

"Enough! Yes, we only intercepted the letter for your student. Those desert people and rice-wives are probably still watching the show, right? But do you think you've succeeded? Let me tell you, no way! I still have everything under control!"

"What can those desert people and rice-wives do? They can only resort to these unorthodox methods now; they dare not take action."

Hazard erupted in a roar, venting his emotions and spitting all over Cavajra's face. However, Cavajra's attention was no longer on that.

Kavaja drew a conclusion from Hazard's highly emotional outburst and his previous use of words like "only," "along with," and "also" that he found perplexing.

Although his letter was never sent, some people already knew about it.

Desert people and rice-wife people.

They've already taken action, and it seems they're doing quite a bit, enough to make Hazard lose control of his emotions.

Hazard believes that he sent more than one letter, but only the letter destined for Huacheng Guo was intercepted.

But... how could that be?

He had only written one letter to Tina, and it had already been stopped, exposing him as a result.

How did the desert people and the rice-wives know all this?

unless……

A glint of light flashed in Cavajra's eyes as he bowed his head to receive the beating.

He's not the only one taking action.

There are other traitors around Hazard!

Others were also sending messages to the outside world and had even secured the help of the desert people and the rice-wives. That person also wanted to stop all of this.

And that person hasn't been exposed yet!

Thinking of this, Cavajra changed his previous dejected demeanor, and his eyes gradually became resolute.
