Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl
Chapter 100 Doubt
"That's about it. I've explained everything I need to. Like I said when I came to you, the organization doesn't have any extra requirements. It's just a platform for members to spontaneously transfer information. It's up to you what you want to do."
Ryan left. He returned to his residence and pulled out a blank Adventurer's Association commission from a thick stack of blank commissions. After randomly thinking of an adventure commission, he flipped through the dictionary and wrote down the ciphertext: "A new member joins the organization, codenamed Kunpeng, mastering the element of wind."
After checking that the content was correct, he went to the Adventurer's Association, found an empty space and posted it. At the same time, he checked again to see if there was any new news from others.
There was also a ciphertext sent by him, in which the word representing the offset value 6 in the code was replaced with "牛的".
The organization's codewords were required to be updated frequently, but new and interesting words had long been used up. Therefore, although changing the codewords had a great impact, not many people were willing to take responsibility.
One was sent by Night Owl, the person in charge of Mond. It roughly stated that the Combat Hunters had resurrected after disappearing for two hundred years, and all members must pay attention to their whereabouts. It also described the characteristics of the Combat Hunters.
This is an announcement for the entire organization, including the previous code updates and new members joining.
After the general notice is posted on this small commission board in Mond, within a day it will be spread by members from all walks of life using their own convenience.
There was another one that I couldn't tell who had sent it, which said that since the disappearance of Mond's chief instructor of new recruits, the power of the Abyss in the wild had increased, and Abyss mages had been stationed in many places.
Finally, he also asked about the relationship between the Abyss and the Combat Hunters.
Night Owl replied in another commission: The Abyss and the Combat Hunter should be in a hostile relationship.
Ryan had already read all of this when he passed by in the morning, and there was no new information other than what he had posted now.
On the other side, after Ryan left, Wang Chen also returned to his residence and wrote his first ciphertext:
"Please help me investigate the people who possess the Eye of God among the latest batch of recruits of the Knights. The list is as follows: Shaw, Duke, Sharon, Boyce, and Elsa. I suspect there is a combat hunter among them."
Although Kaeya had investigated the recruits who saw him last time but to no avail, since Black Sword is a combat hunter, it is highly likely that the people who conspired with him are also combat hunters.
If I had the Eye of God, maybe there were ways to sense me without me noticing, such as my Thousand Wind Sighs.
Among the new recruits, except for the chief instructor, only these five people have the God's Eye.
"I'm sorry, you were the only ones who might have seen me that afternoon. Although the time span is a bit long, it's too coincidental, isn't it?"
After posting this commission to the commission board, he read the ciphertext on the board just like Ryan did, which gave him a familiar feeling.
Just like browsing forums.
People post things that happen around them that may be related to some major events here, waiting for people who are interested to see them, and sometimes people will comment on them.
There are also people like him who seek help, and there will be professional experts who can help solve the problem... maybe there will be.
He then spent the rest of the day exercising and returned only at dinner time.
Catherine, who never eats, never sleeps, and never tires, called him and said, "Adventurer Chen, someone wants to confirm the content of the commission you posted earlier."
"Who?"
In order to protect the little personal privacy that was left, Wang Chen's ciphertext commission was also anonymous, so the other party could not find him directly, but Catherine knew who the client was.
"A young adventurer. I'm sorry I can't reveal his name. He said if you're interested, you can find him at the back seat of the Cat's Tail Tavern."
"I understand."
It’s only been a few hours since I released my ciphertext commission, and there’s already a result?
Wang Chen went to the Cat's Tail Tavern with a little excitement. Diona had already gone off work, the owner Margaret was slacking off somewhere, and Shuyun was the bartender.
"Hello, would you like something to drink?"
Wang Chen shook his head and walked into the inner room. The business here was still lukewarm. There were not too many customers, and even fewer people wearing adventurer uniforms. His eyes quickly locked on a young man who was drinking alone at a round table.
"Are you waiting for someone?"
The young man suddenly raised his head: "Who are you?"
"Katherine asked me to come."
The young man's eyes became alert, but not directed at Wang Chen.
He carefully looked at the other people in the tavern, as if there was some scary person lurking among them, then pointed to a private room and whispered to Wang Chen: "Let's go inside and talk."
Infected by him, Wang Chen also became alert. After the two entered the private room one after another, he closed the door while checking for suspicious sights through the increasingly narrow gap in the door.
After he closed the door completely, the young man sighed heavily and covered his heart with his hand, as if he had been quite frightened.
Wang Chen lowered his voice and asked, "Are there enemies?"
"No, I'm just a little nervous."
"..."
The young man poured the drink into his mouth to calm himself down. Suddenly, he realized something. He held the cup in mid-air and swallowed the liquid in his throat with difficulty. He asked Wang Chen with wide eyes, "Code name?"
Because the cup was still held in front of his mouth, his words echoed in the cup.
"Kunpeng."
The young man blinked his eyes, put the cup on the table, let out a long breath, and said, "You scared me."
"..."
“I’ll get straight to the point: Xiao, Duke, and Elsa all come from ordinary families, and all obtained the Eye of God within half a year. Before joining the Knights, they were all under close observation by the organization.
"Boyce's father was once a knight of the Knights of Favonius, and his family tradition is very upright; Sharon is the second daughter of the current head of Gunhild, and this identity alone represents a lot of things."
It turns out that Sharon is from the Gunhild family. No wonder she is so good at West Wind swordsmanship.
When calling the roll in the training ground, surnames are not called out, so it was not until now that Wang Chen knew Sharon's identity.
"But the organization is not the kind of pedantic people who judge people by their identities. We have also investigated Boyce and Sharon. The more special a person's identity is, the more obvious their past 'special' behavior will be than that of ordinary people."
At this point the young man shook his head: "But none of them, none of these five people had any abnormal behavior."
"Why are you investigating so quickly?"
"The day after the Demon Sword returned, the organization resumed its investigation into the Battle Skill Hunters. Everyone in Mondstadt who has a divine eye has taken a rough look at it. I am only here to tell you the results of the investigation."
"I told you, it's only been half a day."
The young man continued to speak to himself:
“Although no suspicious person was found, the appearance of the Demon Sword in Mondstadt is definitely related to Mondstadt in some way. Everyone believes that there must be a combat hunter in Mondstadt, but it was concealed too well.
"The five people you mentioned have been closely watched in recent days because they are closest to the place where the magic sword appeared. Do you suspect that this is also the reason? Or do you have any clues?"
Wang Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know the newest honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius, Chen?"
"Isn't that you?"
"Ahem, then you must know what happened between me and the Demon Sword. After the Demon Sword took control of Chief Instructor Wilbur, it seemed like it was coming straight for me, but I was out in the wild the entire day, and only the Knights' recruits saw me once, so... I was just suspicious."
"...Hearing what you said, I feel that their suspicion has increased again. We will continue to keep an eye on these people. The damned combat hunter has made everyone panic. I really hope he can be caught as soon as possible!"
After the young man expressed his opinion, he carefully opened the door of the private room. After confirming that no one was watching, he turned back and warned Wang Chen:
"It's better to be safe than sorry. If it weren't for the long words, I would have replied to you with a commission. It's really too dangerous to meet like this."
Then he pretended nothing had happened and sat back in his original seat.
