Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

"Heh~~~"

"I feel like we haven't gotten enough sleep these past two days."

"There's nothing we can do. Tevarin is still in pain..."

The sound gradually faded away. Wang Chen, who had just woken up, scratched his ears and asked, "Why did I hear the voices of Ying and Paimeng?"

When I opened the door, there was no one in the hotel corridor.

"It must be an illusion."

These days are the critical period of the main line. When Wang Chen went out, he first went to the city gate to check and found that Monde Bridge had been unblocked.

"Has the Hilliculers' attack ended?"

Seeing that it was the weirdo who climbed the wall yesterday, Swan replied: "Yes, their attacks have gradually weakened since last night, but it is still dangerous in the wild, so try not to go out."

"Don't worry, I won't go out. Did anything else happen last night?"

Swan looked at Wang Chen carefully, as if he found something wrong, but forgot about it in the blink of an eye. "Speaking of which, the Sky Harp was stolen last night."

"I get angry when I mention this. Two thieves stole the Sky Harp. That's a treasure that the old God of Wind played himself." Lawrence next to him was filled with anger.

"Has the prisoner been caught?"

"No, so we have to pay attention to the people coming in and out today." Swan scratched his head, a trace of shame flashed across his face, "It said that the two thieves, one had yellow hair and the other had green hair. Who do you think would have such conspicuous hair?"

Just now, when he heard Wang Chen asking about what happened last night, he subconsciously looked at Wang Chen's hair, and the more he looked, the more dizzy he felt. But since Wang Chen didn't have yellow or green hair, he didn't care anymore.

"Um...are you sure you're talking about the hair?" Wang Chen recalled Wendy's hair color, which seemed to be a little green.

"The church guard said, 'One has yellow hair, the other has green hair.' I guess that means hair?"

"That's really rare. As far as I know, people with this color are not ordinary."

While Wang Chen was chatting casually with the guard at the city gate, a convoy arrived in Mondstadt.

There were three carriages in the convoy. The front and back carriages each had two horses, while the middle carriage had four horses.

The tent cloth is fiery red, the frame is golden, and the base and wheels are solemn black. What’s important is that the driver is a debt collector, and the person in the middle carriage is obviously more noble than the other two.

With three carriages as the center, there were people leading the way for the carriages in front and on both sides of the convoy, and some servants followed at the end.

Everyone in the convoy was dressed in winter style.

Wang Chen knew with just a little effort that the only person coming to Mondstadt at this time was that woman.

The Wind Dragon had just been driven out, so there were few people on the streets. As soon as the convoy entered the city, the few remaining people on the street followed to watch the fun.

Wang Chen naturally wanted to confirm who the visitor was, so he followed the crowd watching the fun.

The convoy finally stopped in front of the Goethe Hotel, and a middle-aged man in a black suit, a monocle, and meticulously combed light blond hair got off the first carriage.

As soon as he got off the car, he entered the hotel, as if he had something urgent to do.

A woman wearing a half-mask, a black and purple jumpsuit and a large coat with decorative patterns got off the last carriage. With a hat on, she became the complete Thunder Warlock. Her hair happened to be a striking green color.

The one in front has a yellow head and the other has a green head. Hey, the person who stole the Sky Harp is right here, come and catch him!

Wang Chen dialed the Mond City emergency number in his mind, but no one answered.

Warlock Lei Ying got out of the car but did not go into the hotel. Instead, he came to the middle carriage and opened the door for the people inside. The first thing that stretched out was a pair of snow-white and plump long legs. It was indeed a lady's.

The lady could definitely see through her cloak, so in order to avoid any further complications, Wang Chen decided to leave immediately.

He was thinking that he could no longer listen to Wendy's poems. Everyone was busy in the main storyline, and he was the only one enjoying his retirement life at the age of 18.

"boring."

"Boring, huh?"

When passing through an alley, a sack grabbed Wang Chen from behind, followed by a blow with a club.

…………

Wang Chen woke up in a cave with his hands and body tied to a chair. Besides him, there were three people dressed as members of the treasure-stealing gang roasting a fire in the cave.

Finding that no one was paying attention to him, Wang Chen observed the surrounding environment.

The cave was not big and was oval in shape. He was at the deepest part of the cave. On his left was a small bed against the rock wall, which had grown green mold. On his right were some boxes and straw piled up in a mess.

The only exit was right opposite Wang Chen. It could only be seen as a turn to the right and did not lead directly to the outside world.

The three treasure-stealing groups were located between Wang Chen and the exit.

"Where is this? Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Wang Chen asked three questions in a row.

One of the treasure-stealing group walked up to Wang Chen, showing his white teeth and grinning evilly, and asked, "Hey, are you awake? Do you still recognize me?"

"Who are you? What are you doing?" The voice sounded familiar. It was the person who bumped into him before.

"Have you really forgotten? You hit me last night, but you haven't paid for the medical expenses yet!"

"You...you are the man in black. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have bumped into you. I'll pay for the medical expenses. Please let me go."

"Hmph, the person is in my hands, do I need you to give me money?" The treasure-stealing team took out Wang Chen's purse, which contained six thousand Mora.

"my money!"

"What a poor fellow! This little money is not even enough for a drink with my brothers."

The other two treasure-hunting groups burst into laughter when they heard this.

"We didn't arrest you for this little money. You must have ruined my plan. What do you know? Tell me now!"

The treasure-stealing group pulled out their belts and threw them at Wang Chen.

"Hiss~, if you have something to say, just talk it out, why are you hitting me?"

"Tell the truth, I won't make it difficult for you."

"Can you tell me what it is? I really don't know anything."

The treasure-stealing group looked at Wang Chen from head to toe with suspicious eyes several times.

"Don't pretend. You were the one who reported the goods I carried with me yesterday to the Knights!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I won't waste my words on you. When our boss comes, there are plenty of ways to make you speak."

The treasure-hunting team put away their belts and sat back by the fire to chat with their two companions.

Is he talking about the Sky Harp? That really has nothing to do with me! Wang Chen was thinking about a countermeasure.

The dagger hanging on his belt had been taken away, so he could only try to break the rope that trapped him, but it was of no use. He was just stronger than an ordinary person, but not strong enough to break the rope.

It was the Fatui who stole the Sky Harp. They wanted to stop the Knights from awakening the Wind Dragon, and then take over the defense of Mondstadt on the grounds that the Knights were not protecting Mondstadt properly.

And I ran into them on the way to deliver the Sky Harp, and it turned out that the Harp was taken away by the main quartet last night, so they think that I informed the Knights?

In fact, Diluk got the information from the captured Fatui. These people were punished by the higher-ups and wanted to use me to pay for it. Then I would not give in. As long as they understand that this matter has nothing to do with me, maybe they will let me go?

No, how could the Fatui be so kind? Even if it wasn't me, I might be tortured into confessing. They just want to find someone to take the blame.

I'm not afraid of death, but the cloak...

He had an idea.

I don’t know what this cloak makes me look like in their eyes, but I can only give it a try. Please help, Alice!

Wang Chen began his performance.

"Hehe, you're done. I'm the number one magician in Teyvat. You thought you caught me, but actually I caught you. The mechanism I set up outside will take effect soon. A hillilman will exchange places with me, and I will bring the Knights to capture you. Everything is part of my plan."

"Damn it! It was really this brat who reported it to the Knights!" A member of the treasure-stealing group stood up and looked at Wang Chen viciously.

It looks like the punishment within the Fatui was quite severe.

"What is a magician?"

"Magic is fake, how could someone really use magic to escape?"

"Could it be possible that he knows magic?"

It was the same treasure-stealing group that checked the rope that tied Wang Chen and found no problem, and they also didn't find anything in Wang Chen's hands.

"If you can run away, I'll take your last name."

"Puh, I don't care. Just open your eyes and watch! As long as I make a move——"

Wang Chen raised his head suddenly and threw the hood of his cloak down.

When he just woke up, he found that although he was tied up and his wallet and dagger were taken away, no one had touched his cloak. These people had no reaction to his cloak covering his face and the Hilichurl mask on his face?

It was the effect of the cloak that prevented them from realizing that they were covering their faces.

"Olah. (Hello.)"

In the eyes of the treasure-stealing group, the person just now was... they couldn't remember, anyway, he was an ordinary person, but now he suddenly turned into a Hill Culvert.

“This, this…” The treasure-hunting group closest to them took two steps back in fear, while the other two groups came forward to check and found that the person who was tied up had indeed turned into a Hillilman.

"what happened?"

"Did you really become a Hillichul?"

"Isn't he already out there looking for the Knights?"

The three of them were stunned.

"Ya Yika! (Bad guy!)" Wang Chen shouted again in a different tone, not caring whether the pronunciation was correct or not, since the other party wouldn't understand him anyway.

"How to do?"

"slip?"

"I've already told the boss that we caught an important person. How do I explain this to him?"

"Then when the boss comes, you go and tell him that the important person you captured is a Hill Chow."

"…Forget it, let's think about how to explain this to the boss. We can't stay in this place any longer, let's retreat!"

"What should we do with this Hillicorn?"

"Ya Yika! (Bad guys!)" Wang Chen stretched his head forward and pushed the ground with his feet, as if he wanted to attack the people in front of him.

"Let him fend for himself here, let's go!"

The three treasure-stealing groups quickly packed up their things and fled.

If the cloak wasn't effective, or if these people made a final move before leaving, Wang Chen would have given up, but he won the bet.

"I took the dagger away."

After the three people disappeared, Wang Chen exerted force and fell to the ground with the chair. He wanted to crawl towards the fire using his head, shoulders and knees, and then use the fire to burn the rope tied to the back of the chair.

Finally, footsteps were heard at the exit.
