Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

After escaping from Araki Ichito's embrace, Wang Chen slowly asked, "Why... are you here too?"

"I--"

"Let me tell you, Boss."

Kuki Shinobu stopped Arotaki Ichito from speaking and explained on his behalf:

"I studied law at the same school in Liyue, but when I returned home to visit my family on the eve of graduation, I unfortunately encountered the lockdown order. Since Inazuma's work has been less busy recently, I wanted to come here to get my diploma.

"The boss wanted to come to Liyue to observe the headquarters of 'Pearl Bubble' and to have some fun while he was there, and to meet you and Ying. He wanted to give you a surprise, so he didn't tell you in advance. As a result, he accidentally clashed with the Qianyan Army... He was almost arrested, but it was thanks to Senior Sister Yanfei who passed by and helped him."

"There was a conflict with the Qianyan Army?" Wang Chen turned his gaze to Arawaki Ichito: "What happened?"

"I already said it was an accident. Don't I look kind? I didn't mean to scare the child, but I was misunderstood... As for me, you know, I couldn't swallow this, so I took a tough stance when facing the Qianyan Army, and we ended up quarreling..."

"Since it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore." Jiuqi Shinobu interrupted Ara Taki Ichito's depression and then introduced him to Wang Chen: "This is Yan Fei, a very good legal consultant. When I was still studying at the same literary school, she once gave lectures for our teacher."

Yan Fei smiled and waved to Wang Chen: "Chen and I know each other. We just met at the Moon-Chasing Festival a few days ago. Thank you for taking care of my business."

Wang Chen remained alert: "How can you say that? I don't think I've ever asked you to sue me before."

"Well... should I say thank you? In your business with Ningguang, whether it's bubble gum, chewing gum or milk tea, there are almost always cases of counterfeiting and infringement. However, it was Ningguang who commissioned me. It seems that you didn't know about it, but thank you very much!"

Wang Chen agreed with this statement and asked, "Then how did you end up here?"

"Me? It happens that the following experience is related to me, so let me tell you about it." Yan Fei cleared her throat and continued, "As a legal consultant, I occasionally have to go on a long journey. This time I came to the Layered Abyss because of a will found in an ancient book. The will mentioned that a master's magic weapon was lost here because of a war, and he wanted to find it back."

At this point, Yan Fei glanced at Arata Ichito in a strange way: "And this big brother was too enthusiastic. Because I helped him before, he actually followed me all the way here, saying that he wanted to repay me..."

"My benefactor, if you hadn't helped me so much, I would have been thrown into Liyue Prison! Although you said you didn't need help, it's inevitable to run into trouble when you go out. I just wanted to follow you and jump out when I needed you—"

Arata Ichito clapped his two big hands together, then spread them out and said, "Look, you are in trouble indeed."

"But you didn't really have to 'jump out'! I was the only one trapped here, but you and Kuki Shinobu also came down..."

"Hehe, this is called sharing the hardship!"

Yan Fei looked at Wang Chen with a wronged and tired look, as if to say: "Look, there is no way to communicate properly!"

"When talking to Yidou, you have to imitate his logic to make sense." Wang Chen consoled him and asked again: "So, there were only three of you when you came down? And you didn't meet anyone else after you came down?"

Yan Fei, Arata Ichito, and Kuki Shinobu looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Is there anyone else here?"

"Well, I just came down to look for someone, but she doesn't seem to be here."

"This place is very strange." Aratake Ichito looked at the big hole above his head with hostility. "Just now I tried to use the rock structure to lift us back to the ground, but I spent a lot of effort and didn't even see the end. We haven't been down for a long time. If there are really other people here, they should have entered the secret realm ahead."

"It hasn't been long since we came down..." Wang Chen noticed that the sand in the Sand of Time was already restless. There was some kind of time interference here, but because of his own wishes, the hourglass did not seem to eliminate the interference.

"We were just hesitating whether to enter that secret realm. Since returning the same way is not feasible, we can only try it out."

Arata Ichito led the way forward carelessly, followed by Jiuqi Shinobu and Yan Fei. Wang Chen hesitated for a moment and then followed.

In the original "Danger and Doubt" incident, the three people in front should have acted together with Ying and Ye Lan, but now, it seems that there are only three of them...

"Look, this is the only way out of this space except for the one above."

"An entrance to a secret realm, in a place like this..."

"The surrounding rocks seem to be some old Liyue Mountain rocks. This secret realm must have existed for a long time. At this point, we can only go in and take a look. I hope there will be a way out."

As if in response to Yan Fei's feelings, the secret realm was a standard Liyue fairy cave. After some decryption that required little explanation, they found an exit.

Then a strange thing happened. The exit of the secret realm was actually connected to the starting point, which was the space before everyone came in.

This is not the end yet. The big hole above our heads that had trapped everyone has disappeared, and...

Shin Aratake Ichito on the other side widened his eyes: "What's going on? Why is there an identical me?!"

The old Aragaki Ichito, who was standing next to Wang Chen, retorted: "Shouldn't I be the one saying this?!"

"I'm the real one, you fake one!"

"There are more people on our side, which means your side is fake!"

"Chen! Why are you here too? Don't be fooled by that fake guy. I don't even know if I'm real or not."

Shinjiuki, who was standing opposite, advised, "Calm down, Boss. That dust...maybe it's fake too."

"How could it be! There is only one Chen here, so he must be the real one. We have to save him from those three fakes!"

Xin Yanfei on the other side also advised: "Since our replica will appear here, it shouldn't be a problem to fabricate a fake person out of thin air. That Chen can't be trusted easily."

Jiu Yanfei was stunned and said, "How could this be? This is the first time I've seen this..."

Old Arata Ichito pointed to the top of his head and said, "Not only do you not have dust, but you also don't have a big hole on top. Even the youngest child in Hanamizaka can tell who is real and who is fake!"

Shin Arata Taki Ichito retorted: "It was there originally, but it disappeared after I passed through that secret realm! And that Chen, let me test you, do you know Zhuo Ye?"

The old Arata Ichito was shocked: "How do you know Zhuo Ye?!"

Shin Ara Taki Ichito said proudly: "I told you that I am the real one! You fake one!"

The expressions of the Kuki Shinobu on both sides were somewhat confused. They had never heard of Zhuo Ye.
