The standard long sword in her hand flashed with lightning, and she knocked away the attacking sacrificial knife. Keqing flicked her wrist, and a lightning wedge flew out, instantly piercing through the palm of the musket guerrilla soldier.

"Ah~" With a low whine, the musket guerrilla soldier's hand subconsciously relaxed for a moment, and the muzzle of the gun aimed at Keqing couldn't help but tilt.

Before he could react and re-adjust the muzzle of the gun, a strong lightning suddenly burst out around the lightning wedge on his palm, like a sharp blade, instantly cutting the musket guerrilla soldier's palm and musket in half.

Frightened by Keqing's brutal attack, the rock guerrilla soldier suddenly stopped the rock staff in his hand, and a translucent rock element shield covered the three of them.

"Bang~" The sharp sword hit the shield with a crisp sound, but failed to break the rock shield, and Keqing was forced to stop.

"Hmph, wake up!" With a cold snort, the debt handler shook the sacrificial knife in his hand, approached Keqing without hesitation, and slashed her with the knife.

"clang~" The sound of weapons colliding was particularly crisp. Keqing easily caught the debt handler's attack. The sword kept thundering, spreading along the sacrificial knife towards the debt handler's body.

"Boom!!" A red light flashed, fire and thunder intertwined, and the powerful impact caused by the overload reaction made Keqing and the debt handler stagger back two steps.

At the same time, on the other side, Yu Qi looked at the four strong men who were striding towards him, but his expression was exceptionally calm. He flicked his fingertips, and the thunder roared and fell in the shocked eyes of the four men.

"Don't even think about it!" Roaring angrily, Fengquan raised his arm, and the green wind elemental force condensed into a shield that blocked his teammates; Leichui also raised the hammer in his hand, and a layer of dark purple shield emerged on his body, trying to use it to block the falling lightning.

However... they were so focused on the thunder above their heads that they ignored the danger below their feet. Green vines sprouted from the ground and instantly bound everyone tightly.

The barbs on the tough vines were extremely sharp and easily pierced the skin of the advance team soldiers, pouring the toxin with rich grass elemental power into their bodies.

The next moment, lightning struck, and the powerful lightning and grass elemental forces instantly intensified. The terrifying elemental reactions surged in their bodies, and then...

"Crack~"

Looking at the exploding blood-red flowers in front of him with an expressionless face, Yu Qi did not feel the disgusting feeling like in the novels. Instead, he felt extremely calm.

With a casual wave of his hand, the blood-stained vines dragged the bodies of the four people into the ground. Yu Qi turned his head to look to the other side, and just saw Keqing cut off the debt collector's sacrificial knife with a sword.

Then, the lightning of punishment burst out and pierced through the body of the debt collector.

"Puff~" Hot blood spurted out, and the debt collector staggered and fell to the ground. Beside him, the bodies of the rock guerrilla soldiers and the fire gun guerrilla soldiers died with their eyes open.

"Living debt~It's hard to escape!" After whispering the last words, the debt handler closed his eyes with difficulty... absolutely nothing!

Using the element of water to save the debt collector's life, Yu Qi looked at the puzzled Keqing and said, "..."

Chapter 173: The Debtor's Memory

“Don’t worry, he can still be useful.” Facing Keqing’s puzzled gaze, Yu Qi placed one hand on the debt handler’s head and used the element of water to temporarily keep him alive.

"Don't forget, the purpose of our coming here this time is to find clues about those miners. These Fatui have been staying here all this time. Maybe they have seen traces of the miners?"

As he spoke, Yu Qi paid attention to the expression on the debt handler's face: "And according to what you said before, this debt handler is a spy among fools, so he must have his own mission here."

"Rather than letting him die in vain, it would be better to find a way to get information about the Fatui from him."

“Hehe…” Hearing Yu Qi’s words, the debt collector who was originally on the verge of death suddenly sneered. His bloodshot eyes stared at Yu Qi’s cheek and he roared hoarsely: “For the Queen!”

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his still intact left hand, and a small sacrificial knife flew out, with a dark flame on the sharp blade, spinning towards Yu Qi's neck.

"go to hell!"

With a soft "ding~" sound, the debt collector widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at the sacrificial knife that Yu Qi had casually grasped, and roared unwillingly: "How is this possible!"

"...This kind of power is really dirty. Do you, the Fatui, really take human life as a joke? You don't even let your own people go. Is this kind of superior really worth your life?"

Glancing coldly at the debt handler, Yu Qi looked at the black flame burning on the sacrificial knife in his hand with disgust, and could clearly feel the complex but equally filthy power contained in it.

Although it is a flame, in essence it is the manifestation of the remnants of the demon's power. It seems to be mixed with some power of the abyss, which are all extremely negative forces.

Even if ordinary people just touch it, their body and mind will be corroded by this power and they will degenerate into a demon. Even those who have gone through numerous experiments and can barely withstand this power will definitely pay extremely serious consequences when using it.

Either the spirit will be gradually eroded and the person will go insane in agony; or the person's vitality will be drained away and the person will die.

In short, there will definitely not be a good ending.

Considering the severe loss of vitality he felt when treating the debt collector, Yu Qi guessed that the latter outcome was more likely.

"Haha, what do you know? You are a coward who only dares to live in a false peace. For the sake of winter and our great cause, this is nothing!"

With a roar, as if he was completely enraged by Yu Qi's words, the debt handler struggled frantically and roared. A black flame suddenly emerged from his waist, instantly covering the debt handler's entire body, and even spread along Yu Qi's arm to him.

"Hmm~" Startled by the sudden appearance of fire, Yu Qi instinctively loosened his palm. Without the continuous suppression of the water element, the flames on the debt collector's body became more and more violent.

"Hiss~ Ahhhh... Hahaha, if you want information, dream on!" The debt collector wailed continuously in pain as his soul was burned by the deep and cold fire. But even so, a crazy smile appeared on his face which was constantly shedding flesh and blood.

"Hahahaha, Queen~ I'm leaving first!"

"Delusion!" Staring coldly at the debt handler, Yu Qi clenched his hands, and a sachet with a strange smell appeared out of thin air. Then he pressed it down hard, pressing it hard on the debt handler's somewhat exposed cheek.

The black fire with a sticky texture leaped and wrapped around his arm. However, as soon as it touched Yu Qi's palm, a breath as hot and bright as the sun suddenly emerged, expelling and cleansing all the filth and darkness.

Although it only lasted for a brief moment, and then this aura was drowned out by the chaos and filth that continued to flow from the debt handler, this moment was enough for Yu Qi to get what he wanted.

An emerald green light emerged in his palm. Yu Qi stared into the debt handler's dark eye sockets and searched through his memory extremely quickly, not wanting to miss any piece of information.

Until the black fire surged up again, the sachet in his hand burst into heat again and slowly turned into ashes. Yu Qi then moved his palm away, allowing the flames to completely engulf the debt collector and burn him into a desiccated corpse.

"Hoo~" He exhaled lightly, blowing away the embers on his hands. Yu Qi shook his head with an inexplicable expression: "The Fatui, Zhidong...are they crazy?"

"How is it?" Keqing, who had just watched Yu Qi's series of actions and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing him, finally couldn't help but ask: "Did you find any information? Any information about those miners?"

"There is some intelligence, but not much. As for the miners' affairs..." Yu Qi couldn't help but shook his head and said, "See for yourself."

As he spoke, Yu Qi raised his hand and tapped lightly between Keqing's brows. An emerald green light flashed, and Keqing felt her head sink, and then the world in front of her eyes suddenly changed.

“Where, where is this…” Keqing stared at the hazy and dim world around her in astonishment. She looked around and quickly came to her senses. Her gaze fell on several figures sitting around the ruins not far away.

Keqing was very familiar with their appearance... After all, they had just been killed by her and Yu Qi.

At this moment, even though Keqing was standing less than a meter away from them, these Fatui did not react at all. They just went about their own business as usual.

The figure is blurry, like...

"Is this the memory of the Fatui?" Keqing suddenly realized, and calmed down, listening attentively to the conversation of the Fatui.

"Huh~" Panting with some difficulty, the Water Gun Heavy Guard slumped on the stone, with a large patch of sweat on his forehead: "Finally escaped. How could there be such a troublesome mechanism in the ruins just now? I just opened it in the wrong order and the floor collapsed directly."

"Who knows?" The Thunder Hammer Vanguard beside him shook his head. His dusty face showed that he had suffered a lot before. He put the hammer in his hand on the ground helplessly: "However, I heard that this is a fortress built during the ancient war in Liyue. It should be normal to have such a mechanism."

"Alright, alright, stop talking and take a break. We still have to continue exploring the ruins later." The rock staff guerrilla soldier lay on the ground, looking exhausted and more tired than anyone else.

After all, in the accident just now, if he hadn't tried his best to hold up the shield, I'm afraid everyone would have been crushed to death by the rocks falling on their heads.

"Ah, it's so boring. The ruins here are all fortresses and mechanisms. I have searched dozens of them, but I haven't found any treasures, nor the documents that the executive officers mentioned, nor any mysterious seals. I don't know if this day will last..."

"Hey~" He acted in time to interrupt the complaint of the Water Gun Heavy Guard. The Thunder Hammer Vanguard stood up and clenched the hammer, looking at the figure walking slowly not far away: "Commander, you are back!"

"Well, this ruins doesn't have what we're looking for either." The masked face showed no extra emotion. The debt collector glanced at the Water Gun Heavy Guard and said indifferently: "That's all for today, let's go back to the camp first..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. With slightly cloudy red eyes, he stared at the cliff in the distance and said coldly: "If there is any situation, let's go!"

After saying this, without waiting for the advance team members beside him to react, he rushed forward first, with the sacrificial knife on his arm extending and a ray of red light emanating.

"Yes!" Faced with such a serious order from the leader, the members of the advance team stood up instantly. No matter how tired they were, they tried their best to cheer up, grasped their weapons tightly and followed.

In the chaotic ruins, shrouded in black fog, dozens of figures moved stiffly, like lifeless corpses, following a vague figure casually, walking towards the exit of Lingju Pass.

The debt handler was moving nimbly among the ruins, his eyes fixed on the figure in the front, whose appearance was completely unrecognizable. Bloodshot eyes appeared in the eyes, and his aura became violent.

"Hmm?" The movement paused slightly, and the figure in the black mist in front seemed to have noticed something and looked up. At the same time, the debt collector jumped out of the ruins and landed in front of the black mist.

Looking at each other speechless.

"Hu, hu, hu..." Beside the two men, the advance team came out of the ruins panting. After seeing the situation in front of them, they did not dare to delay and quickly ran behind the debt handler and stood, aiming their weapons at the figure shrouded in black mist.

"Ants, get out of the way!" A hoarse, deep voice came from the black fog, like a wild sound from ancient times, echoing in this empty ruins.

Pressure, unimaginable pressure suddenly emerged, causing the Fatui to feel their bodies sink. The already exhausted members of the advance team hunched over with effort and almost fell to the ground.

Even though Keqing was just watching from the sidelines, she felt as if she were there herself, feeling a suffocating pressure. The sense of threat that came from her life instinct made her hands tremble uncontrollably.

However, facing this momentum that seemed to want to crush him like an ant at any time, the debt handler did not show the slightest fear on his face.

With his teeth clenched, there was a sharp "crunching" sound. The debt collector looked at the black shadow, then looked at the dozens of figures shrouded in black fog behind the black shadow. His eyes flashed and he suddenly laughed.

"Hey, if I'm not mistaken, these people behind you are the miners from the Stratum Abyss Mine, right? I wonder if you have obtained permission from Liyue to take these people away? ! "

"Just an ant!" The shadow ignored the debt collector's provocative smile and said with a hint of impatience: "I said, get out of the way, otherwise, die!"

A pair of blood-red spots of light emerged in the black fog, like the eyes of a god, cold and indifferent, looking down at the creatures before them. Endless murderous intent spread out, enveloping everyone present.

In an instant, everyone felt their bodies go cold, icy cold, and a layer of blood covered their eyes, as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood appeared.

"Hmm~" Biting the tip of her tongue hard, Keqing forced herself to wake up from the shock of murderous intent, and looked at the black shadow with horror in her pink-purple pupils.

"This person... No, he is definitely not a human! An unknown powerful evil creature? A fallen demon god? Or... "

Speculating constantly in her mind, Keqing's eyes were fixed on the black shadow, her fingertips trembling, and she could hardly suppress the desire to take action.

It was not courage, but the pressure from the instinct of life that made her feel dangerous, so she wanted to take the initiative to protect herself.

Fortunately, just when Keqing couldn't hold back any longer, a hand suddenly pressed on her shoulder, making her originally confused mind suddenly clear up.

"Calm down, Keqing!" Yu Qi's voice rang in her ears. Keqing was breathing heavily, with cold sweat on her forehead.

Looking back, I realized that the world around me had completely stopped at some point, and Yu Qi appeared beside me silently.

“Don’t be affected by it.” Looking at the embarrassed Keqing, Yu Qi raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead and said softly, “What you just felt was not your own emotion, but the debt handler’s feeling at that time.”

“Really? No wonder it’s so clear!” Keqing smiled bitterly and looked at her still trembling hands: “I thought I was such a coward!”

“No, it’s actually my fault,” Yu Qi looked at Keqing apologetically and explained, “When I was transmitting my memories to you just now, I made a mistake and also transmitted the feelings and emotions of the debt handler at that time.”

"That's why you gradually sink into memories and feel the same way."

“No, this is actually quite good.” Keqing smiled slightly and stood up straight, her breath gradually calming down: “Knowing in advance how powerful the enemy is, I can prepare myself mentally earlier. Otherwise, if I encounter such a thing when we actually collide, I will really make a fool of myself!”

After taking a few deep breaths, Keqing looked at the frozen scene in front of her and said softly, "Go on!"

Hearing this, Yu Qi glanced at her and nodded: "Okay."

The moment the words fell, the familiar feeling of despair once again overwhelmed Keqing's thoughts.

Half-kneeling on the ground, the debt collector raised his head with difficulty. His eyes were bloodshot, and the evil eye on his waist continued to emit a filthy light, squeezing his vitality and transforming it into powerful strength.

'Haha, I admit that you are very powerful, but since you choose to talk nonsense with us instead of killing us directly, does that mean that the power you can use now is not as strong as you show? ! '

The debt collector sneered and stared at the shadow: "If that's the case, why are you bluffing here!"

"Hmph!" As if the debt collector had hit a sore spot, the black shadow snorted coldly, and the murderous intent in his tone became stronger: "Just an ant~"

But, just as the debt handler said, he ultimately chose not to take action.

"Why did you stop me?"

Hearing the black shadow's words that seemed to be a sign of surrender, the debt collector grinned, revealing his blood-stained white teeth: "I..."

Chapter 6: Zhongli is backstabbed (k chapter, please subscribe)

What is the purpose of stopping the black shadow?

Debt handlers are also thinking about this issue at this moment.

At first, I just chased after it because I suddenly saw such a strange thing, wanting to see what it was and whether it was something my superiors asked me to find.

But after going through the series of conversations just now, looking at the black shadow who seemed to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and feeling the somewhat strange aura emanating from him, the debt handler had a slightly crazy idea in his mind.

"I..." With a grin, the red light on the sacrificial knife on the debt collector's arm became more and more destructive, and finally it turned into a stream of fire. His red eyes stared at the black shadow in front of him: "I would like to invite you to come with us to the branch and meet our executive officer by the way."

"How dare you!" Hearing the undisguised covetousness in the debt collector's words, the black shadow was instantly furious. However, before he could finish his words, a ball of fire burst out from the debt collector in front of him, and his figure disappeared instantly.

Faint footsteps were heard around, and the black shadow's blood-red eyes turned, easily locking onto the debt handler's location. Just as he was about to make a move, the members of the advance team not far away had already rushed forward.

The heavy hammer flashing with lightning and the huge boxing gloves wrapped in flowing wind blocked his dodging space on the left and right. Then, overlapping streams of water and ice spurted out and aimed at the black shadow's body, trying to freeze him completely.

Finally, a bullet filled with strong fire elemental power tore through the air and shot towards the black shadow's head.

Facing five rapid attacks, the aura on the black shadow became increasingly low, as if he was extremely angry, and he was too lazy to even speak.
