Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Ying's investigation has reached a dead end... Actually, it's worse than that. It's not that she hasn't found anything; rather, what she has found could basically become strong evidence to convict Abedo.

She did indeed find records related to Abedo's "human transmutation" experiments in his office, as well as maps recording two "body disposal" locations hidden in the book's inner lining. Even a certain action log or travel plan clearly indicated his intention to go to these two locations, and the timing perfectly matched the eyewitness accounts of the body disposal...

With the evidence so overwhelming, even Ying and Paimon, who were on good terms with Abedo and firmly believed he wouldn't do such a thing, couldn't help but waver, and their spirits plummeted.

"Why are you looking so gloomy? Did you find something interesting?" A voice that didn't belong to them broke the silence between the two women.

Ying didn't even bother to turn around to know who was behind her. She pursed her lips and didn't say much. She just put the things she had just investigated behind her and continued to feel depressed.

“Zuo tide, we believe that Abedo wouldn’t do such a thing, but… but…” Paimon looked at Zuo tide with a helpless expression.

She herself certainly believed in Abedodo, but now all the evidence she had found pointed in a direction they didn't want to believe, and Paimon was truly at a loss and her mind went blank.

"Don't rush, don't rush... Ah... This is interesting..." Zuo tide replied to Paimon without really responding, while flipping through the documents Ying handed her.

Based solely on the available information, Abedo is practically guaranteed to be guilty. If these records are authentic, they at least prove that he disposed of the body. With a little more embellishment, convicting him wouldn't be a problem.

"What's so interesting about this?!" Paimon was so anxious that he stomped his feet in the air, flew to Zuo tide's side, grabbed his clothes, and punched his body.

"I think this whole thing is quite interesting. If it's a given fact, then isn't the reason why Abedo did this even more intriguing?" Zuo Xi shrugged and casually put the documents back on the table. "Ying, after what happened with Feng Dan, you should understand that things can't be judged from just one perspective. Why do you always resist the matter itself instead of thinking about the meaning behind it?"

"You mean..." Ying was enlightened by Zuo tide's words. It seemed that she and Paimon had really been stuck in a rut.

Yes, why must we deny the matter itself? Zuo tide's actions have always had deeper meanings; looking only at the surface often only reveals the true nature of things. Why can't Abedo be in the same situation? Who says that "dumping a body" doesn't necessarily have some underlying reason?

“Not too stupid, so as a reward…” Zuo Xi narrowed her eyes and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Seeing that expression sent a chill down Ying and Paimon's spines, and they instinctively took a few steps back.

Every time Zuo tide showed this expression, it meant he was about to do something naughty, and past experiences repeatedly confirmed one thing—he was probably planning to use his naughty ideas on them.

"Tsk, why are you so wary? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I said I'd give you a reward, and I meant it. When have I ever lied to you?" Zuo Xi snorted in dissatisfaction, and then, without waiting for Ying and the others to react, she continued, "Here's a hint for you. Listen carefully, I'll only say it once."

“What’s happening in Mondstadt now can be compared to what happened in Fontaine. Sometimes what’s terrifying isn’t just powerful monsters, but also the suspicion and prejudice in people’s hearts. Broken walls can be repaired, but once trust is broken, the relationship between people becomes terrifyingly fragile.”

Ying felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason. Zuo tide's words were clearly pointed at something, and they obviously didn't point to a good ending.

This kind of thing had happened before, and each time it was Zuo tide who set a test for her. If she could pass, it would lead to a win-win situation for everyone, but if she failed, the outcome for her was usually absolutely unacceptable.

Just like in Inazuma's time, if she cannot stop the spread of the fake evil eye in time, the resistance will suffer massive casualties, the battle situation will collapse instantly, and Inazuma's darkness will never end.

This familiar situation made Ying realize one thing—it was time for her to take action again.

"What should I do?" Ying's expression turned serious. "Or rather, what should I do this time to pass the test?"

"Very good, Ying, great reaction." Zuo Xi smiled slightly. "But unfortunately, I'm neither the proctor nor the question setter this time. So, you'll have to rely on yourself. But since we're so familiar with each other, I'll give you one last hint—"

"Don't completely trust anyone in the Knights."
