The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Furthermore, Ying also wants to use the power of the resistance army to overthrow Ming Shen's atrocities.

Xinhai reassigned Ying's identity as the "Captain of Swordfish Squad 2".

Swordfish Squad 2 is the elite force of Haiji Island. Xinhai dared to promote him as an exception because he saw Ying's strength.

As guests of Kaigi Island, Shenhe and Lamia were free to move around without any restrictions.

After the chat, Xinhai continued to handle official business, being a diligent fish, while Ying and others said goodbye and left.

Outside the Coral Palace, Ying and Shenhe separated. She and Paimon went to meet the team members, while Shenhe and Lamia went to visit Haigi Island.

Lamia is a mermaid. Although she was trapped on the sea monster Ashan for a long time and was beaten up by her sister Siren every time she wanted to go out, she had traveled to many sea areas before and was a knowledgeable fish.

Although the scenery of Kaigi Island is beautiful, it does not surprise Lamia and she loses interest.

Perhaps Orobas and Osel were both demons that lived in the ocean. When Lamia landed on the Sea Island, she also vaguely sensed the breath of the demons from those magnificent shells.

But, what does it have to do with her?

If Kaigi Island is a game map that contains secrets that need to be deciphered by players, then this player will definitely not be Lamia.

In horror stories, the prerequisite for encountering a ghost is often to actively touch a taboo.

Lamia would not even touch such suicidal behavior.

She respects the local customs and habits of a place. On the one hand, she is timid, and on the other hand, she is lazy.

Shen He was quite interested in Kaigi Island. She listened to Mochizuki talking about the history of Kaigi Island.

Xinhai was thoughtful and arranged a guide for Shenhe and Lamia, the priestess Mochizuki.

Shen He asked about Lin Ye.

Wangyue was the priestess of the Coral Palace. She knew Lin Ye and told him some of his stories with a smile.

The reason why Lin Ye came to the Coral Palace was the sacrifice of Himuki Village. This kind of scandal of the rebels was rarely spread, and Mochizuki happened to know the inside story.

Therefore, in Mochizuki's eyes, Lin Ye is a person with a strong sense of justice. After coming to Kaigi Island, he is helpful and popular. In addition, he is very handsome, so Mochizuki has a good impression of him.

Of course, this liking is just liking, and it has not yet risen to love. There are many handsome men, and it is impossible to fall in love with every one you meet. It depends on whether he suits your taste.

Lin Ye is very much to Shen He’s taste, and he really wants to eat him up... ahem.

At the same time, Ying met the members of Swordfish Team 2.

Kotoku and Yoshihisa.

They did not show much hostility towards the sudden appearance of their superior, but they did feel a little dissatisfied.

Just a simple discussion.

Ying knocked the two men down easily.

Conquer people by force.

Afterwards, Ying and two team members were busy dealing with the problem of wandering samurai on Kaigi Island.

……

After Teppei returned to Kaigi Island, as there were no arrangements for him at the moment, he went to his hometown, Wanglong Village.

One day, Teppei and Iwata were farming together.

Suddenly, he dropped the hoe and punched himself in the face.

Iwata, the Mochitaki villager who was thinking about fertilizer, exclaimed, "Teppei, what are you crazy about?"

Zheping spat, looked down at his rolled-up trouser legs and the hoe beside him, then raised his head and said firmly.

"I once heard an old saying in Liyue: A real man is born between heaven and earth. How can he be depressed and live under others for a long time?"

"What do you mean?"

"I want to achieve great things!"

"You are not cut out to be a general. Look at Lord Goro, he is so brave, and you are just a fool." Iwata shook his head. "You are the only child in your family, so you should farm with me. When my fertilizer is ready, Lord Coral Palace said it will be a great achievement."

When Zheping heard this, he thought that Ying was already the captain of the Swordfish Second Squad of the Special Operations Team, but he was here working in the dirt, which was really against his original intention.

His purpose in joining the rebels was, on the one hand, a sense of justice, and on the other hand, the pursuit of honor.

"I will definitely stand out! Become better than anyone else!"

Teppei yelled and Iwata covered his face and pretended not to know him.

At the same time, Teppei's actions attract someone's attention.

……

"Brother, do you crave power?"

Chapter 572: I have a long way to go, searching up and down

Do you crave power?

Do not!

I long for Nako? (crossed out

When Teppei saw the person claiming to be the sponsor, he asked with a friendly smile.

"Of course I want to gain power, how can you help me?" Teppei asked doubtfully.

First, I secretly handed him a note and then met him in a deserted place.

Although the other person was dressed like a villager of Wangtaki Village, Teppei could tell at a glance that he was not a local.

Could he be a spy for the shogunate?

"Use this." The sponsor took out a matte stone that looked like the Eye of God.

"This is?"

"It can answer your desire." The sponsor said patiently, "Take it, and you will gain power that is not inferior to the Eye of God. Those who look down on you will be shocked by your transformation. Make great achievements, and give your wife and children a good fortune. Isn't it wonderful?"

"You are wrong!" Zheping said righteously.

The sponsor was slightly stunned, wondering if he had been exposed.

"I just want to become extraordinary, extraordinary, like Ying and the others, very powerful, powerful enough to be friends with important people I couldn't meet before, qualified to step into a more exciting world, and have the ability to help more people."

I have no desire to be granted a title of nobility.

Don't want to be mediocre.

This is Teppei’s wish.

“It can help you achieve it.” The sponsor smiled, “Take it.”

"Why are you helping me?" Zheping asked, not being overwhelmed by the temptation.

"Because I... hate the shogunate! I hate them for taking my wife and children away! I was originally a merchant in Mondstadt, settled in Inazuma, lived a stable and happy life, until the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order..."

Anyone who can act as a spy must have excellent acting skills. After observation, he found that Zheping was a relatively simple boy, so he made up some lies and appropriately revealed words that aroused Zheping's sympathy.

Zheping was fooled.

"You can try its power, the decision is yours," said the sponsor.

Teppei hesitated for a moment, thinking of the heroic figure of the girl who was rescued by Ying at the Nashii Beach, and the undoubted strength of the girl in the battle before the battle...

"Okay, I'll try."

Teppei returns to Wangtaki Village and meets Okubo Daisuke.

"I heard from Iwata that you are a restless kid."

Daisuke Okubo assigned Teppei a new task, joining a team to deal with monsters around Umijima.

Then, after Teppei and his five teammates had gone to great lengths to kill three Hilichurls and a Hilichurl Shaman, they unexpectedly ran into a ronin samurai who was wanted by both the Coral Palace and the Shogunate.

The opponent had some accomplishments in swordsmanship, and Zheping and his five teammates were no match for him. They were about to be wiped out.

The dull stone in his arms responded to Teppei's desire.

Teppei's strength and speed suddenly became terrifying, and at least in his opinion, he easily defeated the ronin warrior.

The teammates didn't know the reason, they were reassigned and were unfamiliar with each other, so they just thought that Zheping was playing dumb and hiding his strength.

"Zheping, thank you for saving me." said a teammate.

"I'm glad you're not hurt."

Teppei laughed, he put his hands behind his back and clenched the stone.

Afterwards, Teppei used the power of the stone to achieve many military exploits, and he also discovered that some of his comrades also possessed this stone.

Moreover, Zheping also knew what this stone was.

Evil eye.

A taboo item that is expressly prohibited by the Coral Palace.

I heard that someone had previously destroyed a factory that made evil eyes.

Fortunately, the tasks that Zheping completed were not very difficult and did not attract the attention of the higher-ups for the time being. He asked other people with the evil eye for their opinions.

The resistance army is now in a disadvantageous situation, and the gap between their casualties and those of the shogunate on the front battlefield is too large. In this case, even if the evil eye can overdraw their lives, rationally speaking, it is much more cost-effective than dying without killing any enemies.

Zheping admired his comrade, and he also knew the value of this power and did not want to give it up.

It’s not that I don’t know what the road ahead looks like.

Zheping just insisted on doing what he wanted.

If it were someone else, they would think this thing is poisonous and only a fool would touch it.

This is not to say that Zheping is noble or great, but that he seized the opportunity to change his destiny, even at a high cost.

Many people don't even have this opportunity. When life forces them into a corner, who wouldn't overdraw their life to gain a tiny bit?

But it is impossible to achieve what you desire.

Thinking about it this way, Teppei's move was actually very smart...

Ying and Paimon were unaware of this. Swordfish Squad 2 was indeed an elite force, with great capabilities and a lot of work to do, and they were busy all day long.

Yingdu began to suspect that Coral Palace Xinhai was treating her as cheap labor.

Of course, Ying also took this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the current situation of Kaigi Island and the resistance army, and the wishes of ordinary people were implanted in Ying's heart.

Once, Ying and his team went to eliminate Kairangui, but unexpectedly they ran into Teppei and saw him defeat all the enemies by himself.

"Long time no see, you've become so powerful?" Paimeng asked in surprise, "According to Liyue, what is it?"

"It feels like three years since I last saw you." Ying said.

"Yep!"

"Hahaha, now I am qualified to stand with you."

Ying smiled when she heard that, and noticed that Zheping's hair had become more silvery.

Paimon saw it too.

"Zheping, why do you have white hair?"

"Hmm? Maybe it's because I'm too tired." Zheping covered up, thinking that cheap hair dye is really unreliable.

He changed the subject and said excitedly, "Ying, Paimon, you don't know what I have accomplished these days that I couldn't do in the past, such as fighting the shogunate army on a ship and defeating the shogunate warriors alone."

"..."

"what happened?"

"Nothing." Ying shook her head.

She remembered that when they were in Liyue Harbor, Lin Ye had mentioned to her during a casual chat that the Fatui's evil eye overdraws the user's life, shortens their lifespan, and makes their hair gray.

After serving as a local soldier for a few days, Ying also understood the military regulations of the rebels. One of the regulations prohibited the use of the evil eye, and anyone who discovered it must hand it in.

"Tepei, did you use the evil eye?"

“…What is the evil eye? Hahaha…”

Teppei laughed dryly and looked at Ying. His laughter became weaker and weaker. Finally, he lowered his head and admitted it.
