Collapsing, the whole class turned into aliens upon waking up

Barbatos's astonishment was genuine; he even doubted that Barbatos himself was nearby when he was looking for the book.

And that thing that might be the manifestation of memories within the ley lines, if I'm not mistaken, is essentially the power of Barbatos.

There's an old saying in Mondstadt: the wind brings the seeds of stories, and time allows them to sprout. Wind and time are often intertwined, and the scenes that transcend time may well be the work of Barbatos.

That power, if it were the wind god of Mondstadt, wouldn't be impossible.

Diluc returned to his bedroom at Dawn Winery, but the moment he opened the door, he realized something was wrong.

My bedroom... is occupied!

Instantly on high alert, the hero of the night stared intently at the pitch-black bedroom before him and drew his sword.

"Welcome home, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, Mr. Diluc."

A faint voice echoed, and a figure that made Diluc instinctively want to attack appeared before him in the darkness.

That face belonged to none other than the members of the Dark Knights.

Diluc has clearly mistaken someone for someone else.

Looking at the boy before her, Ai-in began to ponder how to speak, but before she could utter a word, Diluc's voice demanded without hesitation: "Ha, are the Dark Knights... so rude?"

"The Dark Knights? No, I think you've misunderstood something. I'm not a member of the Dark Knights."

At this moment, Ai tried to explain, but Diluc, upon hearing this, did not lower his guard at all.

"You can say that, but I don't completely believe it."

Diluc's tone remained wary, as if he would intervene at the slightest sign of Ein's unusual behavior.

At this moment, Ain was somewhat stunned by Diluc's hostility, but she was certain of one thing: Diluc probably knew quite a lot.

Diluc's intelligence network in Mondstadt is quite formidable as well.

Ein wasn't surprised that Diluc knew about the Dark Knights, after all, in the history she knew, the Dark Knights had always been ambushed by Amber and the winds had risen.

As for the claim that the Knights of Favonius knew nothing about the Dark Knights, Ai-in said she simply wouldn't believe it.

"She is indeed not a member of the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are those fallen beings in the Dark Multiverse who share the same status as us."

A deep voice echoed from the corner of the room, and Ai Yin's expression changed upon hearing it.

There were other people in the room besides myself just now?

The shock in his heart was like a raging sea. Hidden in the shadows, Qi Mo looked at the two people who had successfully attracted his attention and said, "Nice to meet you. Well, it's not exactly a first meeting since I have a friend here."

You can call me... Batman, or you can call me by my codename, Bruce Wayne.

Qi Mo said without hesitation that he had to find a Batman figure out where he was going to get it when things came to this. In order for the smooth development of the plot, Qi Mo chose to cosplay the role himself.

As for the code name, the answer is that Bruce is just a pseudonym; Batman is the real one.

"Oh? So this isn't our first meeting?"

Diluc asked with some concern, but Qi Mo shook his head and looked at Ai Yin's position: "This is not the first time I have met this person, or rather, this is not the first time I have seen him."

Of course, I imagine this is your first time meeting me.

"Why do you think I wouldn't have your intelligence, Gotham's Bat?"

I suppose you once temporarily borrowed my body, didn't you? Mr. Batman, the Avenger, the Dark Knight.

Looking at Qi Mo, Ai Yin spoke slowly and deliberately.

Clearly, the scientist had guessed that the Batman Qi Mo was playing was the same one who had briefly fought Night Owl on the Ain ship.

"Your information is beyond my expectations, but that makes sense. Your intelligence and observation skills are definitely good enough to make you an excellent detective, Miss Einstein."

Seeing Ai-Inqimo say this, Diluc raised his hand and asked, "I think this should be my bedroom. You two, gentlemen and ladies, haven't you changed your shoes yet? Aren't you being a little too dismissive of me?"

"I'm sorry, it's just a bit unexpected that my past actions were discovered."

Actually, I'm someone with a similar fate to you, but from another universe.

Seeing Diluc say this, Diluc instinctively asked, "And your family...?"

"A gambling dad, a sick mom, a sister in school, a broken home—oh no, cough cough, I mean we have similar backgrounds. I've also experienced the same pain as you. That day, the pearl necklace in the alley completely obliterated Bruce."

Seeing Diluc being completely overwhelmed by Su Nuwan Ye's laughter, Qi Mo quickly spoke up, and Diluc showed a complicated expression upon hearing this.

A pearl necklace? Does it refer to simple jewelry, or does it symbolize something like an evil eye?

Forget it, let's find out where these two guys are from and what their purpose is first.

Diluc pressed for answers without hesitation, while Ai and Qimo tried to maintain a friendly atmosphere.

Half an hour later, looking at the two people in front of him, Diluc rubbed his temples: "So, you two just happened to come to me because you lack someone with a similar destiny to unleash Barbatos's Amazement together?"

“That’s right, our destiny is to be Dark Knights, to be heroes of the night. I understand your vigilance because I am just like you.”

If you were to trespass into my bat cave, I suspect my actions would be even more extreme.

Qi Mo spoke slowly, and Diluc, after a moment's thought, said, "In that case, let's cooperate."

"what?"

Ai Yin was stunned when she heard this. Was it really going to start cooperating so easily?

"Cooperation is necessary, after all, our individual strength is limited."

Qi Mo nodded and said this, while Ai Yin, who was about to share some information, recalled the various things she had learned in the viewing space and said, "Fellow beings, let's launch a surprise attack on Windrise!"

"Oh? It seems you know quite a bit."

Diluc glanced at Ai-in with some surprise. If she wasn't lying, she truly was someone from another universe.

This version of myself is perhaps more mature than I am.

He actually commented on his own reasoning and guessed the location of the Dark Knights' hiding place.

"That's the Dark Knights' hiding place, isn't it? I think it's necessary to master Barbatos's Amazement before we can make a direct move."

Qi Mo thought for a moment and then spoke, which made Diluc's mood somewhat solemn.

It seems that Bruce has also deduced the location of the Dark Knights. Wait, does this mean I'm the weakest one?

Aside from the fact that he cheated using information provided by Barbatos, the other two were both excellent at deduction.

As for Ai-in at this moment, she felt a similar sensation to Diluc.

Oh no, I've become the husky in a wolf pack.

Now that things have come to this, he can no longer admit that his reasoning was based on cheating, while the other two seem to have extremely strong intelligence gathering abilities and found out on their own.

As for Qi Mo, who cosplayed Batman, he was quite relaxed. (The question is posed: Where is the Dark Knights located?)

In fact, none of the information at the scene was obtained through reconnaissance; everyone knew it using cheat codes.

I only found out where the group of corrupted Batmen chose by reading the script directly through future deduction. Speaking of which, Diluc and Ain imagined me to be quite powerful.

Qi Mo fell into deep thought.

This is truly something that could make Aha from the neighboring Star Iron go wild with joy.

Honkai Impact 3rd: Chapter 1205: Kaeya: Impossible, absolutely impossible

In a sense, I'm quite the envoy who managed to pull off this, so I suggest Sambo and Hanabi give up their positions to me.

Wait a minute.

Pleasure Envoy?

I underestimated myself.

Pleasure is my command!

Ah, that's just for fun. For real enjoyment, you have to see Fairy☆QiMo.

Qi Mo coughed lightly, interrupting the other two people's imaginings, as a certain meme from before his transmigration came to mind.

"Eliminating the Dark Knights is necessary, but we must take precautions against them."

Upon hearing this, Diluc fell silent. The Dark Knights? He knew of their existence, but he had no idea what was within them, or the strength or power of those beings.

"There is a devastating force in the Dark Knights. To fight him... the Kryptonite Spear, the trump card against the classic Kryptonian system, is no longer usable."

Ai Yin spoke first, revealing a piece of information while turning on the light, and Qi Mo, upon hearing this, added:

"Perhaps we can turn the tables and disguise other things as kryptonite spears."

"I might not be good at dealing with Doomsday, but I'm familiar with dealing with Superman. He's also from Krypton, so he and Doomsday might have some similarities. I think we could try magic?"

After speaking, Qi Mo looked at Ai Yin with some disapproval. How could they turn on the lights at a time like this? It would be more in line with the setting if the three Dark Knights discussed things in the dark.

On the other side, Diluc nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this: "Magic, there are indeed a few powerful individuals in Mondstadt who are skilled in magic."

“In my world, there are also powerful individuals skilled in magic. I happen to know a rising star in the magic world who might be able to help us.”

At this moment, Ai-in thought of Rosalia, and the three of them began to exchange information in Diluc's bedroom.

However, the three of them did not notice that Kaeya was walking leisurely towards the entrance of the manor.

Raindrops fell on her face. Looking at the Dawn Winery in the distance, Kaiya seemed to be thinking of something and revealed a bitter expression. Perhaps one day her true identity would be exposed, but... until then, she would pretend not to exist for as long as possible.

Just get by, just get by~

Kaeya tried to relax, but when she saw the bright lights in one part of the manor, she was slightly taken aback: "Diluc... isn't he resting yet? This doesn't seem like his biological clock."

The doorbell that had been rang earlier was answered at this moment, and a maid in the manor opened the door to invite Kaya into the house.

"I don't need to. I just happened to be passing by to pick up an umbrella. I still have some things to take care of with the Knights."

With a slightly apologetic expression, Kaeya, who was about to leave, recalled the unusual lighting in Diluc's room earlier that day and subconsciously asked, "What... is Diluc doing right now?"

"Wait a moment, Young Master Kaiya, I'll go take a look."

The maid nodded upon hearing this. In fact, all the maids at Dawn Winery were tacitly trying to restore the brotherly relationship between Kaeya and Diluc.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity. While it's raining outside, let young master Kaya and young master Diluc talk. Besides, the manor might remind them of the warmth of the past."

The maid muttered to herself, but she froze when she got close to Diluc's room.

Eh?

There are unfamiliar voices in the room?

"A rope is a must! And it has to be enchanted, like an enchanted electric current one."

At this moment, Ai-in, who was inside the room, said without hesitation that the Dark Knights were discussing contingency plans in case some of the enemies escaped.

what?

The maid at the door froze upon hearing the unfamiliar female voice. A rope? An enchantment? Electricity?

Are we playing this big?

Wait, no, Diluc's room... why is there a girl's voice coming from there?

Okay, great!

With a glint in her eyes, the maid quietly left the doorway to tell Kaiya the good news.

However, the maid's movements were not hidden from the three people in the room at all.

However, none of the three seemed to care much. Diluc simply let the maid know that he was having an important conversation and then tacitly left.

"How's the investigation going? How's Diluc now?"

Looking at the maid in front of him, Kaeya asked with some curiosity.

"She was the first woman the young master brought home."

Looking up at the sky, the maid spoke in the tone of a grown-up young master.

"Huh? Are you... are you awake?"

Kaiya was stunned as she looked at the maid in front of her. What did she mean by "she was the first woman the young master brought home"?

"Young Master Kaeya, Young Master Diluc's room... has a woman!"

Looking at the familiar face before her, the maid who had served in the manor for a long time spoke with a hint of excitement.

"No, that can't be, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kaeya showed an expression of complete disbelief. Diluc's room had a woman?

Ha, do you believe this or do you believe that I am actually the prince of the Abyss Order, who commands 100,000 Abyss Mages to surround Mondstadt?
