Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

If it was true, Xie Yan was ready to test the knife on him.

Let me try the knife! Just this one knife!

Konda Densuke quickly waved his hand to clarify: "You misunderstood. I heard that it was you who drove away those yabushi at the entrance of the village, but I never saw you come to the village."

After confirming his identity, he spoke with a bit of respect.

It is not about respecting the commandments of heaven, but about respecting the words.

In his long life, he has never seen many upright samurai who have inherited the will of the general... You know, other samurai come to the village just to collect money and food, and 70% of them are so-called filial piety fees. Otherwise, no matter how poor the Konda Village is, they will not attack the officials. They are still willing to pay the taxes they should pay.

Xie Yan didn't feel anything. In the education he received, it was normal for Tianling to pursue a profession equivalent to that of a policeman, and to protect the lives and property of the people.

"Captain Xie Yan, why don't you go in and sit for a while? I'll make you a cup of tea."

"No need to be so polite, old man. Just tell me what happened first so I can investigate it sooner."

Konda Densuke nodded repeatedly and told everything he knew.

Similar to what Xiao Gong said, someone did see a ghost standing in front of the fox statue outside the village at night. However, Teshima, the only capable fighter in the village, had his God's Eye taken away by the Tenryo Bugyo. He was now in a daze and had no interest in what was happening in the outside world, so he did not go forward to investigate.

Xie Yan listened carefully, and when the other party mentioned the fox statue, he was sure that it was Hanasari. As for the matter of Teshima... perhaps he could only wait for Yingmei to arrive.

"I understand. Don't worry, this ghost won't cause any trouble to the village." Xie Yan said in a low voice.

Densuke Konda was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. The ghost really didn't do anything to the village during this period of time.

After asking, Xie Yan turned and left. He walked straight in the direction the village chief had mentioned and saw the fox statue. Next to the statue were incense sticks for worship.

It is rumored that after Kitsunayami fell, her followers on Narukami Island, the "Heavenly Fox" and the "Earthly Fox", turned into stone statues waiting for her return. Kitsunayami herself was indeed trusted by the people of Inazuma, and until now, many stone fox statues are still worshipped.

As a semi-core player, Xie Yan was naturally clear about the background story of Kitsune Saeigū. Five hundred years ago, the dark disaster struck, and Ying was on his way to Kanreya. Kitsune Saeigū tried his best to protect Ming Shen Island, but was eventually swallowed up by the disaster.

However, her memory was too powerful. After the disaster subsided, her undiminished memories flowed into the earth veins, and eventually a being named Hanasari was born.

Although her body is made up of impure power, Hanasara still regards the elimination of impure power as her biggest goal. In the game, she guides Yingmei to perform the Divine Sakura Purification, eliminating a great danger for Inazuma, but she herself also dissipates.

Kitsunesai, who dedicated his whole life to Inazuma, passed away completely without even having the chance to see her shadow. Xie Yan and most of the players could not accept this ending.

But what can I do?

He is a swordsman, not a shrine maiden. Even if he is a shrine maiden, he is probably... huh? Wait, the scumbag fox shouldn't know about this yet, right?

My thoughts suddenly became clear.

Although Yaesugami is a bit of a coward, she is still very clear about major issues. After meeting Hanasari, she will definitely find a way to persuade her to rekindle hope in life.

If Hanasari could survive, even though she is not Kitsusaigumi, I think she would help Ying come out of the shadows a little.

"There's nothing wrong with the plan, but how do I start the conversation?"

I squatted in Konda Village until late at night, and when Hanasari came to the fox statue, I rushed out from the corner, hugged her thighs, and shouted, "Sister Kitsauri, I'm your fan?"

Oh shit, that's weird.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that it would be better to leave this matter to Yae Shinto. He remembered that Xie Fox and Kitsai Palace were related by blood, and that he had grown up under the care of the other when he was young.

After finishing his work, Xie Yan prepared to find a place to relax. He really wanted to see how good his swordsmanship was.

But as the saying goes, slackers will be attracted to each other, just like when he was picking up takeout during working hours before he traveled through time, he ran into his leader who was also picking up takeout, and just like now, he just found a place and ran into Shikanoin Heizo.

But before it was the leader who scolded him, but now it was him who scolded Shikanoin Heizo.

"You, what can I say? I knew you would slack off here, so I came to you and urge you to work hard!" Xie Yan stood in front of him and gave him instructions, his tone full of disappointment.

Cool! He finally understood the psychological state of his leader back then!

If the two had not spent some time together, Shikanoin Heizo might have really believed Xie Yan's lies.

"Captain, you obviously..." He changed his words decisively after seeing Xie Yan's eyes, "Captain, you are wise and brave, I admire you. Actually, I was just tired from investigating the case, so I took a break."

"Investigating a case?" The expression on Xie Yan's face seemed to say that you must be kidding me, coming to this remote place to investigate a case.

Shikanoin Heizo quickly raised his hand and swore, his expression was unusually serious: "Captain, you are wrongly accusing me. You usually help me to bear a lot of pressure and gossip. I would never lie to anyone but you."

He joined Tianling only for the word "justice", hoping to deter criminals with his actions. In his eyes, Xie Yan is not only a good boss, but also a like-minded comrade-in-arms.

"So what case are you here for?"

"There are a lot of cases, such as the theft of the transport truck of the Tenryo Bugyo some time ago, the theft of goods from the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce, and I will go to Kannazuka later to do a commission for my cousin's colleague."

These cases are all of the complicated type, and Xie Yan, a martial arts person, never reads them. Usually, the great detective Heizo Shikanoin handles them.

Of course, his martial arts skills were also not weak, and he even received recognition from Kujo Sara.

Xie Yan touched his chin and said, "Ah, I'm sorry. According to the original plan, you should be sent to the island for reconnaissance. I asked you to stay and help solve the case."

Kujo Takayuki said that he was going to scout out military intelligence, but in fact, he did it more to get Shikanoin Heizo away so that he wouldn't find out something he shouldn't.

"No, I'll be fine if I go to the island, but I'll probably just hang out there until the war is over. I can help everyone if I stay in the city." He, who has always been optimistic, actually showed a worried look, "It's just that I'm really helpless. For example, the investigation I received from Sister Xing is actually related to the Fatui."

Kujo Takayuki made it clear that everyone should turn a blind eye to the Fatui during the war. Shikanoin Heizo wanted to investigate thoroughly but was worried about implicating Xie Yan. After all, the captain was already in a very bad situation at this time.

Seeing his worried look, Xie Yan raised his eyebrows.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the first time he took the initiative to choose to wipe out the Yefu group.

He had just traveled through time not long ago, and although he had been on missions with Kujo Sara, to be honest, he was still very afraid of death. It was not until he saw the expectant yet fearful eyes of the victims' families that Xie Yan realized that he was in a real world.

As the first stop of his journey, although he would not admit it, he indeed regarded Inazuma as his second hometown, and there were people here that he wanted to protect... Unfortunately, this second hometown was devastated by the war, countless people were displaced, and the gods had sealed themselves in darkness.

He was powerless to interfere with the gods, but he didn't want to see that kind of grief and pleading, so he chose to change himself.

And now...

Yes, I cannot defeat General Lei Dian, and I cannot defeat San Bing, a divine creation who is a demigod, either, so I endured it. But what do I need to worry about regarding the other Fatui?

Anyway, Kujo Sara is ready to put pressure on them, so why should they hesitate?

You can't bring out the stragglers just because of a crappy investigation, right? The Evil Eye Factory is on Bayun Island.

Tolerating everything and giving in to everything is too frustrating a life. You might as well go home and feed the pigs!

My home is not yours to decide!

15 Lady's appearance

After a long time.

The two of them drove the boat from Konda Village straight to the southwest, and they could see the outline of Kannazuka from afar.

"Captain, are we really going to cause trouble for the Fatui?"

Halfway through the journey, Shikanoin Heizo became less confident.

He did not have Xie Yan's God's perspective, but he already knew from clues that there were huge problems within Tenryo Bugyo and Kandei Bugyo, and that they had secret dealings with the Fatui. If the two really found out something, Kujo Takayuki would probably have to come forward personally to reward them for "graduating" from Tenryo Bugyo.

"Don't worry, Kujo Sara is going to settle accounts with the Fatui recently, and we can't let the Fatui be so arrogant." Xie Yan explained, and then asked: "By the way, tell me about the commission you received."

Shikanoin Heizo's face showed enlightenment. If he had the support of Kujo Sara, there would be nothing to be afraid of in today's action.

He briefly explained the commission. In fact, the process was very simple. When he came out of Inazuma Castle, he happened to meet Axing, a colleague of his cousin Nana Kano. The other party told him that there was a problem with the thunder cherry tree recently. The flowers no longer bloomed and it no longer had the power to exorcise evil spirits.

After a preliminary investigation by Heizo Shikanoin, it was discovered that a group of treasure thieves had been lingering near the Thunder Cherry Tree recently, and they had even spotted the figure of the Lady Hidden Mirror.

"I wanted to find a place to rest... ahem, to think. I was just having a headache about what to do."

"Let's go and take a look first. If we can catch them in the act, even the Fatui will have to admit defeat."

After knowing that the commission involved the Thunder Sakura Tree, Xie Yan would have taken care of it even without the support of Kujo Sara.

If the Thunder Cherry branches are the product of the falling petals of the Divine Cherry Tree, then the Thunder Cherry Tree is a branch of the Divine Cherry Tree, and its power originates from the same source.

If anything were done to the Thunder Sakura Tree, the entire Inazuma environment would be affected, and the Divine Sakura Tree would probably not be able to suppress the "tumor" formed by the resentment and filth underground.

Speaking of this mission, Xie Yan still has some impression of it. It seems to be called Medical Sakura... Oh, it is really speechless. All the things that endanger Inazuma's life were actually done by a foreigner, the Traveler.

In order to reach Kannazuka as quickly as possible, Xie Yan pushed Shikanoin Heizo and said, "We are sailing too slowly. Use the wind element to speed up the boat."

"Ah? Using elemental power the whole time is tiring."

"It's okay to be a little tired. Xiaolu, young people should be more proactive in their work so that I can take care of you! When I get promoted next time, I will set up a special investigator position for you, with flexible working hours!"

Xie Yan waved his hand and painted a big picture for Shikanoin Heizo. He once again understood the leader's feelings back then.

And the young man Xiaolu was just like himself before. When he heard the leader's big talk, his eyes sparkled and he used all his strength to speed up the boat. The speed was so fast that it felt like riding the wind and waves.

In order to show his loyalty, he didn't let Xie Yan row the boat, but worked hard himself, making Xie Yan feel a little embarrassed.

Thanks to his efforts, the two soon arrived at Kamnozuka.

After getting off the boat, Xie Yan looked back at Xiaolu: "Are you okay? Do you want to take a break and catch your breath?"

"It's okay, this is nothing!" He patted his chest to reassure Xie Yan.

But after hearing this, Xie Yan felt that Shikanoin Heizo could do more work and continue to radiate light and heat in his position.

Bah, bah, bah, how did he become an immoral leader! Bad luck!

Xie Yan pinched his face. He suspected that if he continued like this, he would be able to project his leader's origin.

He put aside his distracting thoughts and asked Shikanoin Heizo to lead the way, and the two of them carefully scouted the area nearby.

The area of ​​Kannazuka is not like Narukami Island and Yagami Island where many residents live. As the name suggests, it is very desolate.

The shogunate had no plans to develop this place until the fall of Orobas, when it set up a smelting plant in the Tadashi Sand to the south. But that was all. The surrounding area was a mess, with the most monsters, treasure-stealing groups, and ambush people.

Although the two were careful enough during their investigation, they still triggered a battle with a group of Hillichul people.

This is very similar to the game. Many times you are just passing by and don't want to kill the Hilichurls, but they won't let you go.

But after the battle, relying on his good eyesight, Xie Yan actually found the Cangjing maid and a fat man talking nearby outside the camp of the treasure-stealing group.

"You're in luck, little deer. Let's follow them."

Xie Yan waved at him, and then the two of them slowly approached along the bushes.

There was intermittent sound of conversation.

"The efficiency of the treasure-stealing group is really slow. It took them so long to extract this little bit of energy."

"We can't do anything about it. The Thunder Sakura Tree is related to Inazuma's foundation. We can only entrust it to someone else. No matter how low the probability of being discovered is, we cannot bear the wrath of General Thunder."

"Let's go and urge them again. The lady has urged us several times."

Xie Yan and Shikanoin Heizo looked at each other. It turned out that the Fatui were the ones behind this.

"Captain, we..." His expression was solemn. He heard the importance of the Thunder Cherry Tree from the words of the Fatui.

Xie Yan made a gesture for silence, and after the two Fatui walked into the camp, he followed with Shikanoin Heizo, and at the same time took out the camera from the storage space.

The camera was won in a lottery before, and Xie Yan used it as a "law enforcement recorder". It was just right to take it out during this sensitive incident.

He didn't care about being exposed at this time. He moved closer and took a photo of all the people in the tent.

Some of the photos were taken perfectly, but the shutter sounds also woke up the treasure robbers and the fools.

"You made the wrong choice!"

"Another test subject...it's a cold-faced evil ghost, run!"

A sharp-eyed member of the treasure-stealing group recognized Xie Yan. He had previously escaped death from Xie Yan by pretending to be dead. When he saw this evil star, he ran away without thinking.

The others were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and ran, wishing their parents had not given them two more legs.

"You go and stop them, I will deal with the Fatui."

Xie Yan gave an order to Xiaolu, and then the Tianmu Yingdao sword was unsheathed, drawing a bright arc of light in the air.

The Lady Hidden Mirror didn't even have time to teleport, and could only barely control the water mirror to block in front of her, but the mirror shattered in an instant and turned into countless powders that floated in the air.

Xie Yan swung out several swords in an instant, breaking all of her water mirrors into pieces. In this way, this "magician" became an ordinary woman.

100% Iwazang-style swordsmanship, even without using the ultimate technique, has brought about a qualitative change in Xie Yan's swordsmanship.

After dealing with the Lady Hidden Mirror, he turned around and destroyed Bing Pang's weapons and equipment.

"So fast, even the young master can't keep up with this swordsmanship..." The lady Cangjing only had time to sigh before she was imprisoned.

It was the first time she saw someone other than the holder of the Eye of God being so powerful.

At this time, Heizo Kanoin also brought back all the escaped members of the treasure-stealing group.

With both witnesses and physical evidence available and them being caught in the act, these people cannot even try to make excuses.

Heizo Kanouin was still thinking about how to break the psychological defenses of these treasure-stealing groups, but Xie Yan just glanced at them, and the leader Xiu Qiu started crying and screaming, wiping his tears and confessing everything.

'The captain's expression is really scary...' he muttered in his heart.
