Genshin Impact, start by playing as the Herrscher of the Void

"Cleaning complete!"

Clapping his hands, Su Mo looked at the human-shaped ice sculptures around him with an expressionless face.

A thief? He doesn't look like one, forget it...

Looking at their strange clothes, Su Mo felt a little puzzled for a moment, but he knew that he couldn't guess the answer, and the only way to find out was to ask, so he simply got one of them out.

puff--

As the sound of ice breaking was heard, a fat man wrapped in it fell heavily to the ground.

"Mr. Fatty, can you tell me what you are doing here?"

With an elegant smile on his face, Su Mo put away his weapon.

"I... We are the Fatui of the Kingdom of Winter..."

Looking at the scary woman with an inexplicable smile in front of them, the Fatui vanguard quickly replied.

He knew that if he answered slowly, he would most likely be killed by the woman in front of him, because her strength was so terrifying. Just now, he was frozen before he could react and had no idea what was going on.

The Kingdom of Winter? The Fatui? Aren't these the envoys from Mondstadt? It seems there are some in Liyue as well, but what are they doing...

Because he only knew a little about Mondstadt's plot, Su Mo didn't know much about the Fatui.

"So what are you doing here? Answer me properly, or I don't know what the consequences will be."

Finding that he still couldn't figure it out, Su Mo continued to ask.

"I don't know either. We all just came here following orders. No one told us what to do. I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying to you."

Seeing that the woman in front of them had a somewhat unfriendly expression, the Fatui quickly made it clear that they were not lying.

Just now, they received an order to come here with some strange papers, but no one told them what to do here. However, they have long been accustomed to this. Anyway, they just have to obey orders.

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Putting the sickle on the Fatui's neck, Su Mo's tone turned cold.

If the other party did not actively attack him, he would most likely just take a look and leave. After all, he couldn't just put the sickle on the neck of anyone he caught, not to mention that the other party was some envoy from the Kingdom of Winter.

However, he was suddenly attacked by them when he did nothing just now. This was obviously very abnormal, so he didn't need to be polite.

"Really, I really didn't..."

The Fatui was frozen into an ice cube again by Su Mo before he could finish his words, because Su Mo wanted to hear the answers from different people.

-------------------------------------

Everyone’s answer was the same. Could it be that they had colluded in advance?

After spending some time, Su Mo asked them one by one, but the answers he got were all the same, which made Su Mo at a loss as to where to start. However, he still gained something. At this time, he was holding a few strange pieces of paper in his hand.

Could they be used to draw talismans? But what kind of talismans were they used to draw?

Holding the light yellow paper taken from the Fatui, Su Mo suddenly remembered the talisman paper he had seen before, because their materials were very similar.

Maybe you can show it to Mr. Zhongli...

Thinking this way, Su Mo left here. As for these Fatui, they would thaw themselves soon, so Su Mo didn't need to worry about it.

I wonder if Keqing has conveyed what I just said to the other seven stars and immortals...

On the way back, Su Mo thought about what happened just now. He really hoped that everyone in Liyue could help him complete the system task.

After all, as long as the Seven Stars and the Immortals can intervene, Su Mo will feel a lot more relaxed.

Hmm? That's... Mr. Zhongli?

Suddenly he noticed a familiar figure standing in front of the statue and Su Mo couldn't help but stop.

"A traveler from afar?"

The figure seemed to have noticed Su Mo's arrival, and he turned around and looked at Su Mo.

PS: I'm a bit stuck on the third chapter, so I'll post it a little later!!! By the way, please give me a vote!!!

22~The Man Behind the Scenes

Qunyu Pavilion.

"Is that girl named Rita really a maid?"

After listening to what Keqing said to her, Ningguang immediately asked her this.

"That's what she said herself. I don't know if it's true or not, but she does look like a maid, but not an ordinary maid. If that's true, then her master must be extraordinary."

Keqing was a little surprised that Ningguang would ask this question, but she quickly gave her own analysis. She felt that Ningguang's focus should be here.

"Good analysis, I think so too. It's rare to find a girl who is both elegant and powerful. And such a person is just a maid. Then her master... Haha, to be honest, I kind of want to meet her master, if... what she said is true!"

Ningguang was very satisfied with her analysis of Keqing. It is an extremely important ability to infer reasonable information from limited information.

What Ningguang was more concerned about was that if what the maid said was true, she really wanted to meet the person behind the scenes hiding in the dark. She knew that the maid was just a chess piece pushed onto the table, and the real person behind the scenes had not surfaced yet, and he was definitely not simple.

Just imagine, how could a person who has access to information that even the Seven Stars don't know be an ordinary person?

If it were just that, it would be fine. He even knew whether the mysterious girl who killed the Emperor would attack Liyue again. This was very difficult. Ningguang was already impatient to meet him.

However, she also knew that the person behind the scenes would not show up easily, and he must have some plans for telling them the news.

After all, people die for money and birds die for food. No one would be so kind as to come to help them, Liyue. Ningguang is very clear about this.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that the news he spreads is true.

"I don't really trust that woman. Maybe her master is the murderer who killed the Emperor. She told us the news just to paralyze us. We must not let them succeed."

Although Keqing told Ningguang exactly what she had just heard, it did not mean that she believed those words.

After all, if it was true, then how did the maid herself know about it?

Since the mysterious girl was able to kill the emperor, it meant that she possessed a strength even stronger than that of the emperor, and a person with that kind of strength could not be a human being. In this case, it would be extremely difficult for others to obtain her thoughts.

Therefore, Keqing believes that there is no other explanation except that the maid’s master is the mysterious girl.

"Keqing, do you think that if that mysterious girl attacks again, without the Emperor's protection, we and the immortals can really stop her?"

Without commenting on Keqing's idea, Ningguang just smiled and asked her this.

"Whether we can stop it or not, we will..."

"No, that's not what I meant. I understand what you said. I just want to ask what your answer to this question is."

Shaking her head, Ningguang just wanted an answer from Keqing. She certainly understood the other things.

"...If that's the case, I don't think we can stop it. That kind of battle is not something we humans can face."

After watching Ningguang being silent for a while, Keqing gave her answer.

Although she has been saying that the era of mankind will come sooner or later, she still has a very rational understanding of the existence of the Emperor.

In terms of intelligence, humans are not inferior to gods and immortals, but in terms of hard power, they are ultimately more terrifying. Even most of the source of human power is due to the gift of gods.

“Although as a Seven Star I cannot destroy my own prestige, but there are only you and me here, so I won’t say those words. If that mysterious girl wanted to attack us Liyue, there would be no need to go to such great lengths.”

"So Ningguang, what you mean is..."

"What I mean is, I don't think that girl named Rita is lying. Of course, we can't let our guard down just because of what she said. We still have to do what we need to do. As for what she said about someone wanting to harm Liyue, I'm very interested in talking to her about it."

-------------------------------------

"A traveler from afar?"

The figure turned around and it was Mr. Zhongli.

"Well... you can say that, but it seems like something bad has happened in this country, and the atmosphere seems very depressing."

Su Mo nodded.

"Nothing can go smoothly forever, just like a person's life, there are ups and downs. Whether you can continue to move forward depends entirely on your personal efforts. The same applies to the country. However, this is something that the bigwigs should consider. It is not our turn to share their worries."

Zhongli did not directly answer Su Mo's question, but said this.

"That's true, but sir, I see that you speak very well and look like a knowledgeable scholar. Can you help me figure out what this thing is used for?"

As he spoke, Su Mo took out the strange paper that he had just taken from the Fatui. Since Zhongli was here anyway, he might as well show it to him.

"I don't claim to be very knowledgeable, but I just know a little bit."

Shaking his head, Zhongli took the light yellow paper handed over by Su Mo. He took it in his hand and read it very carefully. "Although there are no patterns on it, their styles look very similar to the Hundred Taboos Scrolls."

"A Hundred Taboos Talisman? Hmm... I wonder what it is used for?"

Su Mo had never heard of this term, but from Mr. Zhongli's expression, he knew that this thing was not simple.

"The Scroll of No Taboos was cast by the Emperor in the past and given to mortals. It is the proof of the agreement between the Emperor and mortals. It contains the power to drive away evil spirits. Mortals can use it to seek an audience with the immortals."

With a slight frown, Zhongli told Su Mo about the Hundred Taboos Talisman. After thinking for a while, he spoke again.

"I wonder where the traveler got this?"

"I got it from the Fatui in the wilderness outside. I don't know what they were doing. They were still wandering around outside in the middle of the night. And I don't know why they suddenly attacked me. I had no choice but to teach them a lesson."

Seeing that Mr. Zhongli asked about this matter, Su Mo told him everything that had happened.

"I see."

After listening to what Su Mo said, Zhongli nodded thoughtfully.

"Mr. Zhongli, there is..."

That stinky maid...

Keqing, who had just come down from the Qun Yu Pavilion, did not expect that she would see Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall with the maid just now.

23~My master asked me to do this

Keqing? Why is she here?

As soon as he heard the voice, Su Mo turned his head, and he actually saw Keqing.

"Isn't this Lord Yuhengxing? You must be working so late. It must be hard."

Although he did not expect Keqing to suddenly appear at this time, Su Mo was not panicked at all.

Because he saw a look of surprise on Keqing's face, which meant that the two of them met by chance and she did not bring a group of people to capture him.

"Don't be so polite to me, lest people misunderstand you as my maid."

Keqing had no intention of taking any action. She just stood there and said this. She really didn't understand why the other party was so respectful to her.

"It seems that Master Yuhengxing really hates me. If that's the case, then I won't..."

"Wait, someone wants to see you."

Seeing Su Mo was about to leave, Keqing quickly called him back.

Although she still didn't believe the strange maid in front of her, she couldn't ignore Ningguang's opinion.

Since Ningguang wanted to see this maid, she would bring her over, which would be considered as fulfilling Ningguang's entrustment to her.

"It seems that the two of you know each other, so I won't interrupt your conversation."

Zhongli didn’t care why Qixing was so interested in the girl in front of him. He only cared about another thing, which was the most important to him.

Moreover, he originally came here to think about some things, but now he already knows what to do, so naturally he doesn't need to stay here any longer.

However, there was one thing that bothered him, that was that he could not quite understand the girl standing in front of him, as if she did not belong to this world.

A traveler from another world? Carrying a power from another world?

"Mr. Zhongli, are you going back?"

Keqing still has great respect for this gentleman from the Wangsheng Hall. He is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography and is a man of great learning and talent. If his way of thinking was not too much like that of the Emperor, she would have wanted to recruit him to her side a long time ago. This would be of great help to her.

"It's getting late, you two should be careful."

Nodding, Zhongli left here and walked towards the Wangsheng Hall.

Emperor...

Looking at Mr. Zhongli's back, Keqing thought of the Emperor again. Only now did she realize what a burden it was for her to do what the Emperor could do easily before. After all, she was not ready, but she had to be prepared.
