Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Zaoyou: 'That strange guy didn't attack us; he just said something Zaoyou couldn't understand and then left.'
Su Bai looked at the picture that Sayu had sent on Ayato's phone. That height, that outfit, and that strange hat—it was just a skirmisher! But why would a skirmisher be here? Based on Su Bai's understanding of skirmishers, they should be there to join the fight between the rebel army and the shogunate army.
"To be honest, I just encountered a stragglers in the woods of Haiqi Island, but he didn't attack me, and he even said he was just here on vacation."
Ayato Kamisato briefly recounted what had just happened, which made Su Bai fall into deep thought. Based on Su Bai's understanding of the scattered soldiers, if the scattered soldiers said that, then they probably really didn't have any mission. However, no matter what, Su Bai certainly wouldn't sit idly by while the scattered soldiers appeared on Haiqi Island.
"It seems I also need to go to Haizhi Island. Once Ying finds the place where the Evil Eye was created, she will definitely face the Scatter Soldiers. With Ying's current strength, she is probably no match for the Scatter Soldiers."
Su Bai frowned. Although Ying was not weak, she had no chance of winning against the Scattered Soldiers, whose strength was far more terrifying than it appeared.
Man-yeo: 'Does anyone know this person? He gives off a very dangerous feeling. [Image]'
Paimon: 'It's him! He's the sixth lieutenant of the Fatui Executors. We encountered him before when we were investigating the meteorite that fell from the sky in Mondstadt. That guy's nasty.'
Manyo: 'The Executor of the Fools, huh? No wonder. Paimon, I saw him heading southeast. You and the Traveler should get out of there quickly.'
Paimon: 'Manyo, you might be a little late. Hotaru and I just entered a strange place. All the doors and windows leading out are locked...'
Manyo: 'No, it might not be over yet. You should escape as soon as possible.'
After sending the message, Wan Ye drew his Tiger-Eating Fish Knife and turned to slash behind him. The powerful wind element transformed into a wind blade, which directly cut several large trees behind Wan Ye in half. However, this powerful wind blade stopped in front of the scattered soldiers and could not advance any further. In the end, it turned into wind element and disappeared into the air.
"Not bad, not bad. Your strength is much greater than that little mouse I just encountered."
"Judging from your expression, it seems you're planning to blow up my Evil Eye Factory, huh? Not a bad idea, but unfortunately I don't have time to play your nonsense right now."
Wan Ye warily stared at the stragglers muttering to themselves not far away. In Wan Ye's memory, the pressure this guy brought him was second only to General Lei Dian, who had killed his friend with a single blow. If he wasn't careful, he might really die here.
"I told you to relax, relax! Why are you all so tense? It's so boring."
Noticing the unusually active wind element around Wan Ye, the skirmisher made a few seemingly powerless complaints. Just as Wan Ye was on high alert, he felt a lightness on his back. When he realized what was happening, the bomb on his back had turned into a pile of useless scrap, while the skirmisher was still smiling at him.
Wan Ye swallowed hard. If the skirmisher had attacked his neck, he would probably be meeting his friend by now. But why didn't this guy kill him?
Although Wan Ye had doubts, it was always good to be alive. After destroying the bomb, the skirmisher seemed to lose interest in Wan Ye and disappeared before Wan Ye's eyes after glancing at him.
Man Ye took two deep breaths to calm himself down. Perhaps he should look for the things inherited from the Kaedehara family, and he should also find the martial arts passed down by the Kaedehara family and practice them. This feeling of having his name controlled by others will definitely not happen to him, Kaedehara Man Ye, again.
Perhaps due to a firm belief, or perhaps due to self-confidence, Wan Ye was not overly afraid. Instead, he began to think about how to find the belongings of the Kaede family.
At this moment, the group chat exploded. After Wan Ye sent another message, there was no further activity, and many people became worried.
Beidou: 'Manyo, Manyo, you go head-to-head with that Fool's Enforcer. Run towards the direction of the Death Star; I'll come to meet you.'
Beidou: 'Damn it! I'd better not run into that executive officer, otherwise I'll have to fight him no matter what.'
Paimon: 'Right! Don't let Luminous run into that Enforcer, or he'll be in big trouble!'
Su Bai: "Don't worry, Beidou-nee. I'll go to Haiqi Island right now. Manyo should be fine, since Ayato is alright, so Manyo should be even less of a problem."
Man'yō: "I'm sorry to have worried you. I did encounter that Fatui Executor just now, but he left immediately after destroying my bomb, and he seemed to be in a hurry."
Su Bai: 'Then it seems you're in a hurry to get to the factory that manufactures the Evil Eye. Ying, how's the situation on your end?'
Ying: 'Well, there aren't many enemies in this factory besides a bunch of Fatui, but all the exits are sealed off, and Paimon and I are trapped inside.'
Inside the Evil Eye Factory, Ying knocked on the exit sealed by the iron gate. The dull sound revealed the thickness of the gate. Ying had considered smashing it open by force, but after smashing eight barren stars, she gave up after seeing the gate without a trace.
"I really don't know where the Fatui made such a sturdy door, and it can only be opened from the outside. Paimon, stop flying around. Let's just wait here for Su Bai to come and rescue us."
Ying slumped to the ground. She had learned from the fools inside the factory that the gate could only be opened from the outside. Rather than wasting her energy here, she might as well wait for Su Bai to come and rescue her. Anyway, she could contact him by phone, so Ying wasn't worried that Su Bai wouldn't be able to find her.
"By the way, Paimon, do you have any food left? Share some with me, I'm starving after running around all morning."
"Huh? Ying, don't you have any food? I've already eaten all the food here. There's really too little to eat on Haizhi Island."
Chapter 295 The Evil Eye Factory
"So, after you two stole the Fools' food, you just stayed at the gate making fires and cooking, without exploring downwards at all?"
"Isn't Paimon hungry? I was a little hungry too, so I didn't explore first."
Su Bai took the chicken leg of the Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken handed to him by Paimon and took a bite. Hmm, he didn't know if it was because he hadn't eaten all day since flying from Inazuma City to the vicinity of Haiji Island, or because Ying's cooking skills had improved, but this Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken was quite delicious.
Ying chatted with Su Bai while cooking. Since the factory was going to run away anyway, there was no difference between exploring it sooner or later. So they might as well wait until they were full before exploring.
Paimon wholeheartedly agreed with this view. Heaven knows how many days it had been since Paimon had eaten anything other than seafood. There was so little else on this island besides seafood. Even a traveler like Ying, who never missed a treasure chest in sight, hadn't found any good ingredients.
"I didn't expect the food of the Fatui to be so good. It seems that if I run out of food on my journey, I can just rob the Fatui. They're not exactly good people anyway."
Paimon, taking a big bite of the sweet flower-stuffed chicken, felt the oil bursting in her mouth and suddenly had an idea. Since the Fatui could cause trouble for them on the way, why couldn't they take the initiative to rob the Fatui? That way, they could save a lot of Mora to buy ingredients.
Thinking that Pain hadn't been eating as well as the Fools' soldiers these past few days, a sudden resentment rose in Pain's heart. No, next time she must have Luminous rob the Fools, and it would be best if she could find out the Fools' supply transport route, so she could make a fortune.
Ying, who wholeheartedly agreed with Paimon's idea, was eating a large bite of grilled pork. Although it was just a simple dish, Ying felt very happy eating it. She wondered where the Fatui had gotten such high-quality pork. The feeling of the fat melting directly in her mouth with each bite was simply wonderful.
Meanwhile, the skirmisher who had arrived at the bottom level of the Evil Eye Factory through the secret passage was somewhat frustrated. Judging by the time, the traveler should have arrived here by now, so why was there no sign of him? Had the traveler been dealt with by the Fools above?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible," the skirmisher dismissed the idea. He knew the traveler's strength; those lowly minions were no match for her.
If he wasn't defeated by those small fry, then he must have gotten lost, right? The skirmisher adjusted his hat; the factory's layout was indeed quite complex, and someone entering for the first time could easily get lost.
If he really got lost, wouldn't he have to wait here forever? The thought of waiting here like a fool made the soldier feel ashamed, but in order to ensure that his plan could proceed smoothly, the soldier ultimately did not go out.
Of course, the soldier also made a decision in his heart: once he got what he wanted, he would blow up the entire Evil Eye Factory. This place that made him unhappy should not exist.
"Speaking of which, Su Bai, does that Fool's Enforcer called Sanbing know you? He asked about your situation when I met him before."
After taking a bite of the apple Su Bai had brought, Ying asked Su Bai about his relationship with Sanbing with some curiosity. Based on her years of experience traveling to other worlds, she believed that the guy named Sanbing was genuinely asking about Su Bai's situation, rather than just being polite.
Upon hearing Ying mention the skirmishers, Su Bai remained silent for a moment. Ying noticed the atmosphere was somewhat tense and wondered what she had said wrong. Paimon, engrossed in eating Sweet Flower Chicken, was completely unaware of the change in atmosphere.
"Actually, my relationship with Sanbing is quite complicated. If he hadn't done that back then, I think we would have become very good friends."
"Unfortunately, he embarked on a wrong path, doing anything for the hatred in his heart. From that moment on, he was no longer the cannon that took me around to play."
Su Bai's tone was somewhat wistful. If Sanbing hadn't attacked Raiden Gozen back then, he and Sanbing probably wouldn't have fallen out, and the Kamisato family wouldn't have experienced such a huge mess.
"Hmm, I always feel like there's a deep connection between you two. That guy seems indifferent to everyone, but he only shows these emotional fluctuations when you're mentioned."
Ying silently muttered to herself, that guy who looked crazy didn't seem like someone to mess with. If he wasn't an executive officer of the Fatui, Ying would never want to have anything to do with him.
"Regarding the Sanbing, you can talk to Miko-nee after you return to Inazuma Castle. She knows much more about Sanbing than I do. After all, my interaction with Sanbing only started when he took me, a child, to visit the festival."
“I don’t know much about what happened before. If you’re going to face him, I suggest you learn more about him first. There’s an old saying in Liyue: ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’”
Su Bai had asked Yae no Miko about the past of the scattered soldiers, but Yae no Miko didn't tell him and instead told him to find out for himself. Damn it, if he knew how to find it, why would he need to ask around?
Realizing that Yae no Kamiko didn't want to tell him the answer, Su Bai didn't ask any further. This was one of the reasons why Su Bai encouraged Ying to ask, mainly because he also wanted to know how the Scattered Soldiers had become what they were now.
"Let's put that aside for now, Su Bai. I also encountered many ninjas on Haiqi Island. Those ninjas claimed to be from the Final Brigade. Those people shouldn't be enemies, right?"
"Those people aren't enemies. The Final Brigade is essentially the armed force of the Kamisato family. If you encounter any trouble with the Final Brigade in Inazuma, you can ask them to handle it. After all, you're Ayaka's friend, so the Final Brigade should be willing to help."
"Really? That's not bad. Do these ninjas from the final series know the Great Fireball Technique?"
When ninjas were mentioned, Ying suddenly became curious about the differences between the ninjas of Teyvat and those she had encountered in the other world. Su Bai looked at Ying with a blank expression and asked, "What is that? What is the Great Fireball Technique?"
Seeing that Su Bai seemed unaware of the Great Fireball Technique, Ying realized that the ninjas of Teyvat probably didn't possess any special powers. After all, if they didn't even know what the Great Fireball Technique was, they certainly wouldn't know about the Spicy Heavenly Forest Technique.
"The ninjas in the final episodes are just ordinary people who have received training. They probably don't know anything like the Great Fireball Technique. However, the ninjutsu that Yozu learned is quite suitable for Paimon."
"Huh? I can learn that too! How powerful is Hayato's ninjutsu?"
"Well, how should I put it, apart from those ridiculously strong ones, Hayato's escape speed is among the top three in Inazuma."
Chapter 296 Encountering Scattered Soldiers
"This must be the last gate. This factory is so convoluted, I'm almost dizzy from all the winding paths."
Looking at the gate in the distance, which was much larger than a normal gate, Paimon let out a long sigh. Wandering around here was even more mentally taxing than solving a puzzle in the wild.
"There are so many crystallized bone marrows here. It seems that crystallized bone marrows are one of the materials used to make the Evil Eye. But I feel that these crystallized bone marrows look a bit familiar."
"Wait, Ying, do you remember those truckloads of crystallized bone marrow we saw on the outlying island? Could those crystallized bone marrows have been transported here?"
As they searched down the stairs, the three discovered a lot of crystallized bone marrow. Paimon immediately thought of the incident on the island where the Imperial Guard collected crystallized bone marrow using mobile phones.
Su Bai casually picked up a few crystallized bone marrows and examined them. Sure enough, the evil power within the crystallized bone marrows had many similarities to the evil eye used by the resistance. It seemed that the Fools had chosen to source materials directly in order to avoid attracting attention and save costs.
Seeing these piles and piles of crystallized bone marrow, Ying understood why the Kancho Magistrate on the remote island was collecting crystallized bone marrow on such a large scale. It seemed that the Kancho Magistrate also had a deep connection with the Fools.
So, it seems that two of the three magistrates have already cooperated with the Fools. Hmm, it seems that the Fools' methods are far more sophisticated than she imagined.
"Let's go, we should also go and see who's behind this. If I'm not mistaken, the stragglers should have been waiting behind the door for a long time."
As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, the door blocking their way opened without warning. This scene of inviting them in startled Paimon. He had always thought that the door needed some kind of mechanism to open, but now it was suddenly open. Not to mention Paimon, even Ying felt a little incredulous.
"I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly, much faster than I thought. That's really impressive. Well done, it seems you've grown quite a bit."
As soon as they landed, the familiar tone of the skirmishers echoed in the empty room, making Su Bai and Ying tense up, both of them ready to fight at any moment.
"He acted like he was ready to fight me the moment we met. Looks like today is going to be another interesting day."
The soldier slowly emerged from behind a screen in the room. Seeing the soldier's nonchalant demeanor, Su Bai shielded Ying behind him, and various talismans composed of different elements began to circulate around his body.
"Scattered soldiers, it's time to settle things between us today. This time, the loser might not be me!"
"Hehe, not bad, not bad. I like this look. You had this look in your eyes when you were a kid and you always lost to me at the memorial service. It really brings back memories."
As if he had thought of something interesting, the playfulness on Sanbing's face lessened, replaced by nostalgia and reminiscence. Seeing Sanbing's change in demeanor, Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, both realizing that the relationship between Su Bai and Sanbing was not as simple as they had thought.
"Regardless of the circumstances, skirmisher, when you were distributing Evil Eyes to the Thousand Rock Army in Liyue, a battle between us was inevitable."
"And the resistance fighters! Although Ying and I don't particularly like the resistance fighters, you're just too wicked!"
Hiding behind Su Bai and Ying, Paimon expressed her hostility towards the Scatterers with great force. Ying nodded in agreement. From the first time she met the Scatterers until now, she had never thought that the Scatterers were normal people.
"Hehe, so that's why you came here, traveler."
"Traveler, you seem to have misunderstood something. Although I am standing here, I am merely carrying out the plan on your behalf. The mastermind is naturally someone else. Aren't you very capable? Go find him to your heart's content!"
Hearing Sanbing's irritating words, Ying became somewhat angry. She was already holding back a lot of anger, and now Sanbing was acting like a riddle-maker. It seemed that if she didn't teach Sanbing a lesson, he wouldn't speak properly.
"You got so easily angered by such a small thing? You seem to have changed... become as vulnerable as Su Bai was when he was a child."
"Ugh, I'm so angry! Su Bai, this guy must be the mastermind behind this, right?"
"No, based on my understanding of the skirmishers, he wouldn't stoop to lying about such a trivial matter. He's definitely not the mastermind behind it."
Seeing that Su Bai denied her guess, Paimon was clearly stunned. With her brain capacity, she probably couldn't guess who the mastermind was, but she believed that the Scattered Soldiers were definitely not good people.
"Don't look at me like that. According to the plan, I'm just a gatekeeper at the Evil Eye Factory. I don't know anything about the specific conspiracy."
