Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Captain Zheping, you should know why these people have become so strong, right? I remember you were promoted to captain because you suddenly became strong and gained a lot of military merits."

Seeing some of the resistance fighters aging rapidly and the cold sweat on Zheping's forehead, who was responsible for protecting her, Xinhai suddenly remembered why Zheping had become a squad leader. His sudden increase in strength was exactly the same as that of the resistance fighters now.

"Lord Xinhai, I..."

Zheping hesitated for a moment, but seeing Xinhai's determined look, he sighed, lowered his head, took out an Evil Eye from his pocket, and handed it to Xinhai.

"Lord Xinhai, this is what gave me strength. Although I feel quite tired after each use, I recover after a few days of rest. I think it works quite well. I didn't know this thing would be so strange."

"This thing is called the Evil Eye. Although those who use it will gain great power, their life force will be absorbed by it, and one of the manifestations of the loss of life force is physical fatigue."

"If you still have any of these evil eyes on you, take them out. We on Haiqi Island will never encourage the use of such dangerous and evil things."

After confirming that this was indeed the Evil Eye, Shinkai's usually gentle tone turned serious. On this point, she and Kujo Sara were inexplicably in agreement; she also believed that such a thing should never be allowed to circulate.

Upon hearing Xin Hai's request, Zhe Ping's teammates also pulled out their Evil Eyes from their pockets. Seeing that his teammates didn't blame him at all, Zhe Ping felt even more guilty, since he was the one who recommended the item to them.

Xin Hai carefully examined the Evil Eye in her hand. She had found the Evil Eye on the Fools before, but since there weren't many Fools on Haiqi Island at the time, and Xin Hai didn't think there was anything on Haiqi Island that could attract the Fools, she didn't take it to heart. But she didn't expect that the Fools would actually use the Evil Eye to make a fuss.

Looking at the rebels on the front lines, enduring the constant loss of their life force as they continued to fight against the shogunate army, Xin Hai felt a pang of pity. She had led the rebels to fight the shogunate army in the hope of obtaining some food, but now, the rebels were suffering heavy casualties, and many of them were losing a lot of life force due to the evil eye. Was what she was doing really right?

"Lord Xinhai, should we break through and retreat quickly? Our people probably won't be able to hold out for much longer."

As Teppei watched the approaching shogunate army, he anxiously urged Shinkai to leave quickly. However, Shinkai, with her eyes tightly closed, did not answer Teppei. She had already made her choice; she knew that Umijima no longer had the ability to fight against the shogunate.

Chapter 292 The Rebels Surrender

"The rebels' offensive has weakened. It seems the side effects of the Evil Eye are about to begin. Tsk, these rebels are pathetic. The Fools have really screwed them over."

On the battlefield, Su Bai could clearly sense that the resistance's attacks had weakened, and some of the resistance fighters with the Evil Eye were even starting to pant, losing the fierce determination they had shown earlier.

Although she didn't know what role the Fools played in this, Kujo Sara wasn't going to let such a good opportunity slip by. So she had no intention of stopping the war. She believed that she should first pacify the internal situation before dealing with external threats. She thought it wouldn't be too late to investigate the Fools after she had dealt with the troublesome Umijima Island.

"Saro, haven't you received any news about the rampant spread of the Evil Eye within the resistance this time?"

"No, neither intelligence personnel nor travelers have mentioned anything about the Evil Eyes. Even the Southern Cross Fleet, which has been in contact with the Rebels, has never mentioned them. It's as if these Evil Eyes suddenly appeared among the Rebels."

Kujo Sara still couldn't understand why the intelligence agents she had planted on Umijima Island hadn't received any information. After all, they were elite intelligence agents of the Kujo family. With the Evil Eye so widespread, they couldn't possibly know nothing, could they?

"It seems the Fatui have done a pretty good job with their secrecy measures. They managed to transport so many evil eyes without being discovered. I wonder how the Fatui did it."

Su Bai played with the Evil Eye in his hand. The Evil Eye wasn't that big, but it was quite absurd that the Shogunate hadn't discovered such a large number of them.

“I suspect that the Fools may have built a factory inside the island of Haiqi that can produce evil eyes, and these evil eyes are very likely made by that factory.”

"What you said makes a lot of sense. Wait, Coral Palace Heart Sea, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you if you don't bring any guards?"

Just as Su Bai was about to continue speaking, he suddenly realized that what he had just said didn't seem to be from Kujo Sara. When he looked up, he was surprised to see Kokoro Kokoro standing in front of him. Because he had been focusing his senses on the front lines of the fierce battle, Kokoro's sudden appearance really startled Su Bai.

“If Mr. Su Bai really wanted to arrest me, I might not even have the chance to stand here and speak.”

Someone as intelligent as Xin Hai could tell at a glance that Su Bai had no intention of killing her, which was why she dared to come to Su Bai's side alone. However, now was not the time to talk about these things. Her main goal in coming here was to persuade Kujo Sara to stop the war.

"Don't look at me. Unless you can bring Umijima under the administration and control of the shogunate, I will not order a halt."

Kujo Sara knew that Kokoro was a cunning person, so she simply laid out her bottom line, which effectively shut down any words of persuasion Kokoro could utter. Goodness, so it was pointless to say anything before she even opened her mouth, huh?

"You don't need to look at me. I only promised Sister Shenzi that I would save your life in this battle. If you die because you're asking for trouble, then it has nothing to do with me."

Undeniably, Coral Palace Xin Hai's pitiful appearance could indeed arouse one's protective instincts, but Su Bai had no interest in her; this woman was not as simple as she seemed.

Seeing that both Kujo Sara and Su Bai were indifferent, Shinkai felt bitter and helpless. It seemed that from now on, Umijima Island would really only be under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, and the wishes of their ancestors would probably never be fulfilled.

Fine, let her be the sinner for all time. At least this way, Umijima Island can receive aid from the shogunate in the future, and the people of Umijima Island can be fed and clothed. Even if she bears the infamy, she, Coral Palace Heart Sea, doesn't care.

Having made up her mind, Xin Hai straightened her clothes, trying to make herself look more presentable. She came to Kujo Sara's side and, under Kujo Sara's questioning gaze, said softly.

“I, on behalf of Umijima Island, surrender unconditionally to the shogunate, hoping that the shogunate can stop this war.”

"what!"

Kujo Sara stared at Sango Mikoto in disbelief. Since the Eye Hunt Order was implemented, she had dealt with Sango Mikoto quite a bit. To be honest, she had thought that Sango Mikoto would fight to the death, but she never thought that Sango Mikoto would surrender.

"Coral Palace Heart Sea, are you sure you want to surrender to our shogunate on behalf of Umijima, and unconditionally at that?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Haizhi Island, whose granaries have been burned down, can no longer sustain its inhabitants. If I don't surrender, the people on Haizhi Island will definitely not survive until the next harvest."

At this point, Coral Palace Heart Sea's tone was somewhat self-reproachful. Her original purpose in setting up the granary was to prevent those who came from other islands to join the resistance on Haiqi Island from robbing the food of ordinary people on Haiqi Island. However, she never expected that so many fools would be lurking on Haiqi Island.

That's right. After seeing the Evil Eye, Xin Hai was basically certain that the granary was burned down by the Fools. Although she didn't know the Fools' purpose, Xin Hai wasn't foolish enough to think that she couldn't figure out the Fools' purpose, so it wasn't the Fools who did it.

After thinking for a while and ruling out the possibility that this was a conspiracy by Sango Mikoto, Kujo Sara became serious. Now, Kujo Sara represented the shogunate.

“I, Kujo Sara, on behalf of the shogunate, accept your surrender on Kaigijima Island.”

"Hey, why are you all looking at me like that? I didn't do anything."

Seeing that both Kujo Sara and Sango Kokoro were looking at him, Su Bai silently took a few steps back. He had a bad feeling; did these two want him to stop the fight?

As it turns out, the law that what a person worries about most is more likely to happen applies everywhere. Seeing that Su Bai was about to slip away, Xin Hai grabbed Su Bai's hand.

"Mr. Su Bai, please help us. General Kujo and I can't persuade these people at all."

"Right now, only Mr. Su Bai can do this."

Looking at Kokoro's pitiful little eyes, Su Bai glanced at Kujo Sara. Kujo Sara nodded slightly. Seeing that Kujo Sara agreed, Su Bai finally agreed as well, since he didn't want to disrupt Kujo Sara's plans because of Kokoro.

However, since Kujo Sara has no objections, it's time for this battle to end. Su Bai activated the wind and lightning elements within his body, and in an instant, the lightning elements spread by the wind elements directly filled the entire battlefield.

Except for a few physically strong members of the Shogunate army who were not electrocuted, the rest, whether they were from the resistance or the Shogunate army, were all lying dead on the ground. This left Shinkai completely stunned. Damn it, if you were this strong, why didn't you show it sooner? If I had known you were this powerful, why would I have started a war with the Shogunate?

"Zhongli, hurry, hurry, let's go! There are so many customers lying on the ground, we're going to be very busy now."

"Master, is it possible that a large portion of those people lying on the ground were unconscious?"

Chapter 293 The End

"Ayato Kamisato, right? Don't worry, since I took over the Rebirth Hall, I haven't received a single bad review. Although there are quite a few customers here, I will definitely handle them well."

Hu Tao patted her chest, which could be described as saintly, her tone full of pride. Ayato Kamisato nodded in agreement. Facing Hu Tao, who had the ability to get Su Bai to join the Hall of Rebirth, Ayato Kamisato naturally did not doubt her ability and professionalism. However, this temporary worker that the Hall of Rebirth found seemed a bit unreliable.

"Brother Ayato, I didn't expect to see you here. Let's go out for a meal together after I get my payment. It's been a long time since the three of us have eaten together."

"Su Bai is here too, let's find a place to have a drink together, it's on me!"

When Ichito, who was in charge of loading the coffin for the client, saw Ayato Kamisato, he excitedly greeted him. It had been a long time since he and Ichito had met up because Ayato Kamisato was dealing with matters on Umijima Island.

Watching Ichito's increasingly skillful technique in placing the 'client' in the coffin, Ayato Kamisato kept his complaints to himself. After all, it was already quite an achievement for Ichito, with his not-so-bright mind, to be able to place the client safely in the coffin. Asking him to place the coffin in the correct order was indeed asking too much of him.

Besides, Ichito is in charge of the resistance forces, while the shogunate army is in charge of that Mr. Zhongli, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Ayato Kamisato glanced at Zhongli and saw that Zhongli was methodically cleaning up the corpses of the shogunate soldiers on the ground. Ayato Kamisato couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, there were still reliable people around.

Feeling much more relaxed, Ayato Kamisato quietly took out his phone. Based on the direction the Sanbing had moved, it was highly likely that the Sanbing had gone to Umijima Island. He felt it necessary to remind the traveler on Umijima Island.

Beidou: "Hey, head of the Shenli family, how are things going on your end? Do you need me to take the brothers to help you?"

Paimon: 'Luminous can go help too! We were just chased by the resistance forces left behind on Haiqi Island, it's infuriating!'

Man-yo: 'Big Sister Hokuto, some rebels have appeared near the Southern Cross Fleet. Should I intervene to drive them out?'

Beidou: 'Huh? They dare surround my ship? Those people from Haiqi Island must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard! Wanye, calm the brothers down, I'm going back right away. Damn it, even Ningguang wouldn't dare surround my ship.'

Looking at the Liyue profanities that Beidou kept spewing on his phone, Ayato Kamisato couldn't help but silently mourn for the rebels for a few seconds. Captain Beidou's temper wasn't exactly mild, and those rebels were probably in for a rough time.

Ayato Kamisato: "Captain Hokuto, travelers, please be aware while you are on Umi-no-Island. A Fatui executor may have gone there."

Su Bai: 'Ha, the Executor of the Fools? Then it seems Xin Hai's speculation was correct; there might be a factory manufacturing Evil Eyes on Haiqi Island.'

Beidou: 'The Evil Eye? That thing is quite dangerous. But I didn't expect the Fools to think of building a factory on the sparsely populated Haiji Island. No wonder Manyo told me the other day that some of the resistance fighters were acting strangely.'

Ying: 'I'm going to destroy that place that created the Evil Eye! Damn it, they even tried to scheme against me! I'll teach those fools a lesson!'

Su Bai: 'Ying, calm down, calm down. We still don't know if that executor of the Fools' Clan is on Haiqi Island. If he is, you'd better be careful.'

Beidou: 'Well, Traveler, I support you. I happen to have some bombs on my ship. If you want to use them, I'll have Wanye send them to you. After you've used them up, just run to the Death Star. I'd like to see which executive dares to act recklessly in front of me.'

Ying: 'Thank you so much, Beidou-jie.'

Man-yeo: 'In that case, I'll set off. The bombs on Captain Hokuto's ship are extremely powerful; traveler, please be careful when using them.'

Su Bai: 'Alright, then I'll go ask around on Xin Hai Hai Qi Island for some secluded spots. Like the place where they create the Evil Eye—the Fools certainly wouldn't build it in the open.'

Beside Su Bai, Xin Hai peeked out and silently observed the phone in Su Bai's hand. Having seen Ying holding a phone before, Xin Hai had always thought it was just a strange device that could be used to find treasure. Now it seemed that she had been too naive. This strange iron box could actually transmit messages, and it seemed to be the kind that transmits messages in real time.

No wonder his scheme was seen through. With such a device, Kujo Sara was probably aware of every move on Umijima Island. This was a war that had no chance of being won.

“Xinhai, now that you’ve surrendered, you’re practically one of us. Do you know any secluded spots on Haiqi Island? Preferably places where hardly anyone goes.”

When Su Bai inquired about the situation on Haiqi Island, Xin Hai guessed that Su Bai and the others were going to take action against the Fools on Haiqi Island. So, after thinking for a while, Xin Hai told Su Bai about several hidden places on Haiqi Island.

As a smart woman, now that she had surrendered, Xin Hai naturally wouldn't do anything to deliberately conceal anything or lower her favorability. She was still hoping that Su Bai and the others could find the Fools' Factory and leave the things inside the factory on Hai Zhi Island.

After all, Haiji Island is too poor. If the things obtained by the Fools could be modified to produce other items, perhaps Haiji Island could become more prosperous.

“Then I’ll send these locations to Ying first. Speaking of which, the structure of your Haiqi Island is really strange. It looks like an ordinary place, but it can hide so many things.”

"Okay, I might not be able to explain it clearly. You should talk to Ying. I'm worried that if I do, Ying might get lost on Haizhi Island."

Upon hearing Xin Hai mention no fewer than five hidden locations within Haiqi Island, Su Bai was completely dumbfounded. Haiqi Island was far too much like a maze. Su Bai even doubted whether the Shogunate army could find their way out once they entered.

After Su Bai explained the operation of the phone to Xin Hai, Xin Hai quickly got the hang of it. Kujo Sara didn't have much of an opinion on this. Having a phone would make it easier for her to contact Xin Hai, and it would also make it much easier for the shogunate to manage Umijima.

"Since the task of destroying the factory where the Fools manufacture evil eyes has been entrusted to the traveler, General Kujo, let's talk about the shogunate's aid to Umijima."

Xin Hai gripped his phone tightly. After seeing the people in the group, he no longer saw it as just a device for transmitting messages. This was practically the future of Haiqi Island! As long as he established trade relations with the wealthy people in the group, Haiqi Island's economy would definitely grow rapidly.

"Our food and medical care on Kaiji Island are too backward right now. Could General Kujo send some food and doctors as soon as possible? To show our sincerity, Kaiji Island is willing to help the shogunate army capture those criminals on Kaiji Island who have disobeyed inspections."

Chapter 294 The Scattered Soldiers' Whereabouts

"Ayato, why do you look so pale? Did something happen?"

Not wanting to listen to Kokoro and Kujo Sara's negotiation, Su Bai looked around. After noticing that Ayato Kamisato's expression was very unpleasant, Su Bai curiously went over. Ayato sighed and handed over his phone directly, not intending to hide anything.

Su Bai took Ayato's phone and saw a message from Hayato. Judging from the frequency of the messages, it seemed quite urgent.

Zaoyou: 'Master, we've found a strangely dressed person [image]'

Zaoyou: 'This strange guy doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us; he even greeted us with a smile.'

Hayato: 'Wait, the seniors were all hiding! Oh no, we've been found out!'
