Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"I didn't expect to get in so easily this time." Hishi Shinobu sighed. She had actually waited patiently for two months when she wanted to eat here.

Unexpectedly, they were able to get in so easily today. After Su Hao presented the Ningguang token, the staff of Liuli Pavilion were quite respectful and invited them to the private room.

"It's true that knowing the right people makes things easier." Su Hao marveled at the power of connections, while also marveling at Ningguang's prowess.

She really knows how to win people over; no wonder so many businessmen are willing to listen to her. Her skills are truly impressive.

Even he, a member of the Thunder God's family, was pondering how to repay the other party after eating this meal.

"........."

Ella remained silent for a moment, sitting in her seat and looking at Su Hao calmly.

Although Su Hao's image was reflected in her eyes, both Su Hao and Jiuqi Ren could sense that she had something on her mind, rather than looking at Su Hao.

"What's wrong?" Hisa looked at the silent Ella and, seeing that there were no outsiders present, asked directly, "Ella, is something on your mind today?"

"Is it because of what Mr. Zhongli and Ms. Ningguang said?"

Hisuki Shinobu's direct question drew Ella's attention slightly. She looked up and saw Hisuki Shinobu and Su Hao's rather worried expressions.

"I'm sorry." Ella apologized first because she had worried the two of them, and then she explained, "It's impossible to say that I don't care, because Mr. Zhongli and Ms. Ningguang said that."

"I do care about my background, not out of curiosity, but because I feel... if I leave it unattended..."

"Those things from the past will come back and interfere with my life now."

Although Zhongli and Ningguang both said that it was just a casual question and didn't mean much.

But Ella couldn't help but care. She liked her life now and didn't care about what she had been through in the past.

After all, if she is from Liyue, why did she lose her memory and go to Inazuma when she was around ten years old?

Whether the memories were good or bad, Ella didn't want to recall them now that she had forgotten them; that was her previous attitude.

But now that Zhongli and Ningguang care so much about their surnames, Ella can't help but wonder if her surname is really that important.

Seeing Ella say this, Jiuqi Ren and Su Hao didn't know what to say. After all, they weren't involved, and whatever they said would be interfering with her choice.

But Ella's condition worried Jiuqi Ren and Su Hao, who were afraid she might do something foolish.

With that in mind, while the dishes were being served at Liuli Pavilion, Su Hao quietly opened the chat group.

[Su Hao: "@Zhong Li, is Mr. Zhong Li there? I want to ask, is there any deeper meaning behind your question about Ella's surname?"]

[Ella: "Young Master..."]

[Hiruzen: "You're really direct."]

[Su Hao: "Mr. Zhongli's words have been troubling you, so naturally I had to ask him about it."]

Ella: "...Mm."

[Hiruzen: "That's true, this is arguably the best solution."]

[Yae no Miko: "May I ask a question? Are the three of you in the same place? Then why are you communicating in a chat group? Couldn't you have communicated first and then come to the chat group to ask Mr. Zhongli?"]

Faced with Yae no Miko's soul-searching question, Su Hao, Ella, and Kuki Shinobu did not respond.

After all, the three of them were indeed in the same room, but the atmosphere had been a little awkward, otherwise Su Hao wouldn't have resorted to this tactic.

Soon, Zhongli appeared on social media.

[Zhongli: "Hmm? Is this bothering you? Sorry, I really just mentioned it casually."]

[Nagarjuna: "What? What?"]

[Raiden Shin: "Speaking of which, we don't really know Ella's last name, we only know that her name is Ella."]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "Eh? Isn't Isla's last name Isla???"]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "…………Shocked!"]

[Abedo: "Is it a surname issue?"]

[Zhong Li: "However, I asked about her surname because Ella has a similar surname to a friend of mine."]

Zhongli: "Their family left Liyue many years ago. It is said that they traveled to other countries in search of their missing daughter."

[Yae no Miko: "Hmm? My missing daughter?"]

[Su Hao: "Could it be..."]

[Hisaki Shinobu: "My missing daughter? Could it be?!"]

Ella: "………………"

[Zhong Li: "No, their daughter has black hair, not white like Miss Ella."]

[Zhongli: "While it's true that the names are similar, there are quite a few people named Ella in Liyue Harbor."]

[Nagarjuna: "There aren't that many coincidences in the world."]

[Raiden Shin: "It's basically confirmed now, isn't it? By the way, Isla actually from Liyue?! My Inazuma has lost a genius!"]

[King Nagata: "Hahahaha!"]

[Raiden Shin: "What are you laughing at, Ruoda?"]

[King Nagata: "Nothing, just remembered something happy, hahahahaha!"]

[Raiden Shin: "You bastard!"]

[Ella: "Mr. Zhongli, do you know where they are?"]

Zhongli: "It's impossible to know, because the couple left Liyue Harbor seven years ago."

[Su Hao: "Wait? Seven years???"]

At that moment, outside the chat group, Su Hao looked up at Ella, somewhat surprised.

Based on Zhongli's words, it's practically confirmed that Ayla is from Liyue, but why she came to Inazuma remains unknown.

There are just too many possibilities, so Su Hao decided not to speculate.

Su Hao clearly remembered that he came to this world five years ago, which means... before he transmigrated here.

Ella was already kidnapped? She was probably only eight or nine years old at that time.

And her hair turned from black to white, during which time Ella was probably subjected to some kind of experiment, as well as her extraordinary talent.

Su Hao thought of a certain plot, a plot from the Genshin Impact manga, where the Doctor had conducted human experiments in Mondstadt.

Coupled with the doctor's numerous slices of information, Su Hao had a rather ominous idea.

That means Ella might be like Sumeru Amber, oops, Cole, who was injected with the remnants of a demon god.

At that time, she survived and escaped the experimental site, but she also lost her memory, her hair turned from black to white, and eventually, for some unknown reason, she ended up on the streets of Inazuma City, where she finally met Su Hao.

After considering all the possibilities, Su Hao finally decided that he must find an opportunity to meet the "Doctor".

It doesn't matter what period the slice is from, as long as the other party knows the "intelligence".

Zhongli continued speaking in the chat group.

[Zhong Li: "Yes, seven years ago. Their child was abducted on the street seven years ago. We don't know who did it."]

[Zhongli: "The disappearance of their daughter was a huge blow to the couple, so they used all sorts of methods, asking the Seven Stars of Liyue for help, mobilizing the power of relatives and friends, and even... they brought out the 'Unfettered Talisman' passed down from their ancestors."]

[King Nagata: "The Talisman of No Taboos? Those things must be rare now. It was a token given to the people by Morax."]

[Nagarjuna: "If you have something, you can go see those guys."]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "Those guys?"]

[Coral Palace Heartsea: "It must be the various immortals. I've seen it in Liyue's books; the Unfettered Register has a title called 'Immortal Affinity.'"]

[Yae no Miko: "Yes, there was once a guy in Inazuma who obtained the 'Unfettered Talisman' in Liyue, met a legendary immortal, learned immortal techniques from her, and thus created Onmyodo."]

[Yae no Miko: "So, if that's all there is to it, because their daughter went missing, her family used the Seven Stars and their connections with the immortals? And they still couldn't find her?"]

[Kuki Shinobu: "These interpersonal relationships are truly terrifying. Theoretically speaking, this is mobilizing the entire power of Liyue to find someone."]

[Raiden Shin: "Has it been too long?"]

Zhongli: "Yes, that family thought that after entrusting the Seven Stars, their daughter would be found soon, but half a month has passed and they still haven't found her."

[Zhongli: "Finally, they brought out the Unrestricted Talisman, but too much time had passed. Even if the immortals arrived at the scene and used their methods, they were powerless to do anything."]

[Zhongli: "However, the immortals have found a clue: their daughter is still alive, but where she is... the immortals don't know either. They can only confirm that she has left Liyue."]

Ella: "Thank you, but... even knowing all this, I still have no feelings about it."

Zhongli: "That's why I gave you the 'Treasure of Freedom' talisman. You might be able to go to Mount Aozang, where there's a celestial being who can investigate what's happening to your body."

[Rotuo Dragon King: "Mount Aozang? I remember that place being Liuyun Cave. I wonder how she is doing now. The gadgets she researched were quite impressive."]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "I'm so envious. Are Isla, Su Hao, and Shinobu going to see the immortal?"]

[Coral Palace Heartsea: "If it weren't for the numerous miscellaneous matters of the resistance, I probably would have gone to Liyue with Su Hao, Ella, and Miss Ren."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Energy -1, Energy -1, Energy -1."]

[Kuki Shinobu: "But... Mr. Zhongli knows so much! He even knows about immortals. Could it be... that you are an immortal yourself?"]

[Raiden Zhen: "Perhaps that's possible. I've been thinking about it too. Mr. Zhongli's knowledge is simply too vast."]

[Ruo Tuo Dragon King: "What are you all guessing? If Zhongli is an immortal, I recognized him the moment he joined the group."]

[Rotala: "There's no immortal in Liyue I can't recognize, and I can recognize those guys just by looking at their tone of voice."]

Zhongli: "Um...yes, I'm not an immortal."

[King Ruoduo: "That's exactly right, how could Zhongli possibly be an immortal!"]

Su Hao: "………………"

[Kuki Shinobu: "We've started eating, so we'll talk later."]

[Rotuo Dragon King: "Wait! @Su Hao @Jiu Qiren @Aila, if you go to see Liu Yun, remember to stream it live."]

[Nagarjuna: "I haven't seen Liuyun in a long time. I wonder how he's doing."]

Su Hao: "Understood."

[Nagarjuna: "@Su Hao, wait! There's one more thing."]

[King Ruoduo: "That's because Liuyun prefers whimsical little gifts, like mechanical toys. I don't know what's so great about them, but she just likes them."]
