Their commission was suspicious.

"What? Grandpa is really gone? How is that possible? Wasn't he a Soul Steel Body?" Theresa was stunned.

But amber doesn't seem like someone who would lie.

"What does a Soul Steel body have to do with traveling to another world?" Amber asked uncertainly.

"Another world tour? Chen Luo, what you told me..."

"Bang!" Just as Theresa turned her head to look at Chen Luo, she heard the sound of the bar door being closed.

"Ugh?"

"Theresa, let's begin today's official business," Amber said, patting the files that were half Theresa's height.

"what?"

"Wait, I understand you called Theresa, but why should I suffer too?" Himeko asked, somewhat confused.

“I didn’t invite you two. Perhaps this was Lord Chen Luo’s own initiative.” Amber shook her head.

"Chen Luo, you bastard, you've got the guts to trick me into coming here, so why don't you open the door?"

Theresa did summon the bar door, but she couldn't open it no matter what she did.

This means that Theresa has been temporarily placed on the gray list.

You can see the door, but you can't open it. This is on the gray list.

Being blacklisted means you can't even summon the door.

"Theresa, I'm so sorry, Grandpa," Otto said sadly as he returned to the first floor of the bar.

"How about I take you to reunite with your granddaughter? Meow."

"Then let's not bother," Otto said, shaking his head.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Lian came down from the second floor, holding a tricolor dumpling card in each hand.

"Oh, nothing's wrong, let's go on a trip." Otto's attitude changed instantly.

"...Theresa, you're incredibly lucky to have a grandfather like you. Meow." Chen Luo retorted.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the Hall of Rebirth. Although I feel we probably won’t run into Zhongli there, we should still give it a try. Meow.” Chen Luo said as he pushed open the bar door again.

"The Hall of Rebirth? That sounds impressive."

"Sounds impressive, but it's actually just a place that does funeral business. However, I heard they deal with the dead. Ghosts, you know. Meow," Chen Luo said.

"Is it really that amazing?"

“Indeed, Liyue is a very magical place. It feels like the power system here is completely out of place with Teyvat. Meow,” Chen Luo introduced.

It possesses magical artifacts, magical treasures, and immortal power; moreover, even without the Eye of God, it can still wield special powers.

Although in a sense the Eye of God is just a special power and does not represent everything, there is a general feeling in Teyvat that the Eye of God is the only true power.

Therefore, you might find it incongruous for a magical artifact to appear in the world of Teyvat.

Moreover, there are strange and fantastical things like the Dust Song Pot, which looks extremely mystical.

As Chen Luo chose the teleportation point closest to the Hall of Rebirth, he explained the situation to Otto and the others and headed towards the Hall of Rebirth.

"Ah Luo, why are you still carrying this lantern even after arriving in Liyue?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was following beside him, looked at the original lantern in Chen Luo's hand with some confusion.

The lantern no longer has the will-o'-the-wisp that was originally inside; it has become quite normal.

"Oh, I'm just checking if there are any wandering spirits or anything like that in Liyue. Just in case we find something unexpected, especially since we're heading to the Hall of Rebirth. Meow."

"But aren't you afraid Hu Tao will beat you up? After all, you're stealing business from me," the Herrscher of Knowledge reminded him.

“That makes sense, but I won’t listen. Meow.” As Chen Luo spoke, he directly used his spiritual power to ignite the flame in the soul lamp.

However, Chen Luo, carrying a lantern, walking through the bustling city in broad daylight, always attracted attention.

However, Chen Luo no longer cared; his current attire was already quite strange.

"Hey, hey, where are you going? Don't run away!" A voice that sounded slightly mischievous rang out.

"Hmm, Walnut? Meow." Chen Luo was surprised when he heard the sound.

What a coincidence! Speak of the devil and he appears.

Then, right after Chen Luo, he saw Hu Tao rushing towards him.

In front of Hu Tao was a special spirit whose existence was unknown, running ahead of her.

It ran up to Chen Luo in no time and then went straight into Chen Luo's soul lamp.

"..."

It turns out that Liyue really is haunted.

And they really do like to get close to the soul lamp.

"Ha, ha, why are you running so fast? And it's broad daylight, you should have just hidden in a corner where the sun doesn't shine. Why are you running around in broad daylight? What's the point?" Hu Tao stopped in front of Chen Luo to calm her breathing.

I ran too fast just now.

And things were so unexpected.

The spirit, which was originally afraid of light, actually rushed out directly into the sunlight. How could Hu Tao have imagined that?

"Oh my, isn't this Chen Luo? Long time no see." Hu Tao waved to Chen Luo.

"Long time no see, I was just looking for you. Meow." Chen Luo was the same.

Although it felt like a long time had passed and a lot had happened, it hadn't been that long since Chen Luo last met Hu Tao.

"Meow?" Unsurprisingly, Hu Tao was also very curious about this.

"Don't worry about it, I'm playing a really new game with my friends. Meow."

"A really new game? Never mind, what do you want from me? Are you going to buy a coffin for your friend from another world again?" Hu Tao asked.

It's just about having a cat, right? I've played much stranger games before, what's so surprising about that?

"No, I came here this time..."

"Hey hey hey..." Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, Hu Tao suddenly covered her black ring.

[Ding! Please add the closing remarks as soon as possible]

"Meow."

"Chen Luo, what exactly is that lantern you're holding?" Hu Tao asked, clutching her ring.

"What's wrong, meow?"

"What else could it be? Didn't you just see a soul run into your soul lamp? That's my client, you know," Hu Tao said.

Moreover, Hu Tao felt as if the spirit inside her ring was about to escape.

Seeing Hu Tao's performance, Li Chenluo suddenly recalled the scene and description of Hu Tao unleashing her ultimate move in the game.

[Unleash a blazing spirit to deal widespread fire damage to surrounding enemies.]

Those who don't look closely might say that the big potato-like thing that Hu Tao releases when she unleashes her ultimate attack comes out of her nose.

But actually, it was released from inside the ring.

You need to watch the animation carefully, you jerk!

"This is a soul lamp. It can attract lost souls. If it's a sinful soul, it will subject it to some suffering, but if it's a lost or kind soul, it will help it regain its clarity and may even allow it to pass on directly. Meow," Chen Luo explained.

This soul lamp has no ill intentions towards the soul that enters it, but if the other party's sins are too grave, then I'm sorry.

If the soul itself is benevolent, it will guide the person to rebirth, just as the introduction states.

Evil souls will never be reborn.

"Hmm, I have a feeling you're trying to steal our Rebirth Hall's business, but surprisingly, I can't get angry. But you'd better not wander around Liyue with this lamp, and especially not during the day. If you really want to help souls find their way to the afterlife, it's best to go to Wuwang Slope at night," Hu Tao said, still clutching the ring.

Sending lost souls to the afterlife is the business of the "Death Hall." But under normal circumstances, the Death Hall is simply a funeral parlor.

If someone can help send the soul to the afterlife, the ancestral hall is not concerned.

"I see. It seems this has caused you some trouble. Meow." Chen Luo said, extinguishing the flame in the lantern.

Since there were no sinners in the lanterns, the light was sustained by Chen Luo's spiritual power.

The soul that ran in just now didn't seem to be an evil person; it was just confused.

"It's not exactly a problem, but being constantly exposed to sunlight isn't good for the soul. So what did you want from me?" Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief after Chen Luo put away the soul lamp.

"Oh, by the way, do you sell this soul lamp?" Hu Tao asked casually.

Hu Tao suddenly felt that this thing seemed quite convenient.

Those souls in Hopeless Slope who refuse to die run very fast.

With this, we can make them walk right into our trap.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Soul-Guiding Lamp】: Make a lamp for Walnut that can attract souls.

Reward: 300 Primogems + 20 points of affinity with Walnut

Difficulty: 3 stars

"This soul lamp is definitely not for sale. Meow."

"Ugh……"

“But I can make you a lantern that can attract souls, though it won’t be as effective as this one, and it won’t have any other functions. Meow,” Chen Luo said.

"That's enough!" Hu Tao snapped her fingers.

"Of course, it's not without reward. You have to help me find where Zhongli is. Meow."

"Right there..." After hearing Chen Luo's words, Hu Tao pointed in a direction for him.

Then, Chen Luo saw Zhong Li's little braid peeking out from where the storyteller was listening.

Due to the angle, only this braid is visible.

"Alright, I've told you Zhongli's location. Don't forget your promise," Hu Tao said.

"I feel like I'm losing out big time, but... here you go. Meow." Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and a soul lamp slowly appeared in his other hand.

Making it by hand is too much trouble, so I'll just use the Void Treasury!

Although this Soul Lamp is a top-tier four-star item with numerous functions and a wide range of uses, making it somewhat troublesome to copy, it is relatively simple if one only wants to possess the ability to attract souls.

After all, attracting souls is the weakest ability of this soul lamp.

"So fast?"

"Of course it'll be soon. This soul lamp can last a lifetime if you use it sparingly, but it's not very sturdy and can be easily broken. If you want a new one after it breaks, come find me at the bar. Speaking of which, you don't seem to have been to a bar before. Meow." Chen Luo said after handing the lantern to Hu Tao.

When Chen Luo was replicating the lantern, he specially changed the shape of the lantern for Hu Tao.

"Isn't your bar open from 8:00 to 12:00? I've heard Zhongli mention that," Hu Tao replied after taking the lantern.

"But... the business hours of the Rebirth Hall are at night. Although you can avoid other people's peak business hours and are very business-minded, you just happened to run into the Rebirth Hall's peak business hours."

"That makes sense... but you can't be open every day, can you? Meow."

"When we're not open, I naturally go to Hopeless Slope. But I feel like with this Soul Lamp, I might actually be able to find some time to visit your bar."

For Hu Tao, this soul lamp is a special piece of equipment that increases efficiency.

"Welcome. Meow."

"By the way, is this lamp called the Soul Lamp?" Hu Tao asked.

"This lantern's design was specially created for funeral workers like you from Liyue. You can call it..."

Chen Luo glanced at the soul lamp, which he had specially changed to cyan and added a handle resembling an ancient lantern, and then continued speaking.

"You can call it Blue Lantern. Meow."

"This name sounds quite nice. Your naming skills are just as good as mine," Hu Tao praised Chen Luo.

"Thank you for the compliment. Meow."

Chen Luo, somewhat embarrassed, said that he had accidentally plagiarized someone else's idea.

How do I use this light?
