In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.
Chapter 183 The Neglected Demands
On the screen, Philinus brought the topic back to the present.
"You must have other business with me."
The traveler and Paimon both sighed, and then told Philinth about how the Moon Hunter had impersonated him and murdered Sergeant Sothy.
Philin's face didn't show much expression.
"So that's what happened."
Can you guess his motive for framing you?
"I guess they want to use the Lamp Bearer to find me. I haven't told anyone about my movements, so the Moon Hunters shouldn't be able to find me so quickly."
The only people who could pinpoint my location so quickly are the lamplighters themselves.
The sergeant had a device made with lunar torque that could sense the location of other people's lights.
They don't usually care where I go unless they have a compelling reason to find me.
Paimon then took out the lamp they had just used.
"Is this what you mean?"
"Yes, this is it. Where did you find it?"
"It was found on the ground just now when I came over."
"That must have been one of the Lantern Bearers who was sent there. He saw the Wild Hunt suddenly erupt and abandoned his device to run away. Well... at least he saved his life."
"No wonder they got the information so quickly. But since the Moon Hunter can transform into Sosi, why didn't he operate the device himself?"
"With that device in his hands, it will likely be affected by the abyss and won't be able to function properly."
"I see, that makes sense then."
"I never expected that the Moon Hunters would not only be ruthless in their actions, but also use such insidious and despicable methods behind the scenes."
You may not be familiar with Sergeant Sosi, but he is very hardworking and takes every mission very seriously.
The Lamplighters are required to follow the headquarters' schedule, and Sergeant Sosi has to be stationed in Naxia Town for extended periods, only able to return home to see his family once in a long while.
His motivation for working so hard was to earn a transfer opportunity from headquarters through outstanding work performance.
"Is that so..."
"As a result, every year he received letters saying 'Wait a little longer, wait a little longer.' He always felt that he hadn't done enough, even though everyone had a very high opinion of him."
But doing things well doesn't necessarily mean there will be good results.
Those in power might think that keeping him in that position forever is the easiest option.
Those below him would think he was capable and easy to talk to, and none of them would want to see him leave.
Let's wait a little longer. Until the world closes its eyes in the dead of night, until the light, unseen by anyone, slowly illuminates just for him.
"This is a sad story."
"It's a story that's been playing out from the past to the present. For me, there's another reason to sever the heads of the Moon Hunters."
These words are truly touching, especially for ordinary people.
Most people can see themselves in Sergeant Sosi.
Endless work, and that elusive dream.
In other people's eyes, your wishes are meaningless; they only care about the value you can provide.
When you can no longer provide value, you become someone who can be replaced at any time.
The same applies to Douluo Continent, and it's even more brutal there.
There has never been equality here. For many ordinary people, having enough to eat and wear for a lifetime is an unattainable luxury.
Everyone is trapped within the established rules and cannot escape them.
The same applies to Teyvat; even the gods of Teyvat are anchored to fate.
Can gods really change everything in the Douluo Continent?
Qian Renxue asked herself, if she became a god, what changes could she make for the Douluo Continent?
After careful consideration, Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly, realizing that there was really nothing she could do.
On the screen, the traveler and Philin continued their conversation about Sergeant Sosi.
"We now know that the Moon Hunters' goal is to find certain fragments of the Wild Hunt."
"But Sergeant Sosi had nothing to do with this, so what made him so desperate to die?"
"It can't be because he set up the cannons and fired, destroying the fragments the Moon Hunters wanted to collect, that the Hunters got angry and retaliated."
Afterwards, the traveler took Philinse back to the scene where Sergeant Sosi was murdered, and they conducted a detailed investigation at the scene.
They also discovered a horrifying truth through Sergeant Sosi's robotic arm.
The travelers had previously encountered Sergeant Sosi, but it wasn't the real Sergeant Sosi at all; he was a Moon Hunter in disguise.
But there's another puzzling point: why would the Moon Hunters help the Lamplighters repair the cannons?
The cannon was created to destroy the Wild Hunt. If the Lunarians want to collect the fragments of the Wild Hunt, the fragments of the Wild Hunt destroyed by the cannon will also be reduced to ashes.
The traveler and Paimon are currently clueless about this issue.
"The Sergeant Sosi who appeared in the sky earlier and was inspecting the cannon with the Traveler was actually a Moon Hunter in disguise. How terrifying!"
If everyone around you could be a Moon Hunter in disguise, wouldn't everyone become fearful and no one be trustworthy?
"If we had creatures like the Moon Hunters around here, I can't even imagine how terrifying it would be."
Looking at Shui Yue'er's suspicious gaze, Shui Bing'er said speechlessly, "There are no Moon Hunters here, and no one will impersonate someone else. Give me a break and stop making such strange faces that make others worry."
"This is a normal reaction, okay? If people like the Moon Hunters really existed, could you still trust the people around you?"
"The Moon Hunters' disguises are not perfect either. As long as they have enough trust and understanding of the people around them, I believe there will be no problem at all."
Just like you, if a hunter were disguised as you, I would recognize him immediately.
"Oh! So you trust and understand me this much. You truly are my best friend."
"Hehe, what I mean is, the Moon Hunters definitely wouldn't be as infatuated as you."
"Ugh! I already told you, I'm not a fangirl."
Back on the scene in the sky, the traveler takes Philinus back to his lodgings.
Philin's ability to hide himself inside a lamp is indeed quite intriguing.
Next, Philinus also revealed some of his secrets to the traveler.
The audience at Sky Screen was also quite curious about Philin's secret.
After all, the state and abilities that Philinus displayed did not seem like those of a normal human being.
Even someone with the Eye of God who controls elemental power cannot achieve what he did; the capabilities of elemental power are actually quite limited.
