Shi Ning led Xiao through the lush forest, moving towards the hot spring hotel with one step deep and one step shallow. Xiao just silently followed her lead, and his eyes never left Shi Ning from beginning to end, as if he was afraid that if he glanced at her incorrectly, the girl in front of him would disappear.

Such insecure behavior made Shi Ning feel even more distressed, but now all she could do was to keep chatting with Xiao, trying to make this sudden journey no longer lonely and silent.

When the sun was setting, Shi Ning returned to the hot spring hotel. Ye Lan and the others were sitting at the door waiting for Shi Ning. She looked around and didn't see Tartaglia. She asked in confusion, "Where's Tartaglia?"

Thomas replied: "Dartalia has left. After all, he has two jobs to do, so he can only spend a few days with us."

"The guy behind you must be Xiao from Liyue, I've heard a lot about you." Thomas said he had heard a lot about him, but he had no intention of getting closer. After all, they were outside, and there were countless eyes staring at them inside and outside. A perfect actor had to act out the whole act.

"......" Xiao did not respond, his handsome face looked cold.

"Since you're okay, I'll go back." Ye Lan nodded, her eyes lingering on Xiao for a moment, then she turned and walked into the hotel.

"That's Ye Lan's personality. It doesn't mean she's unwelcome." Nashida explained. If it was Xiao before he lost his memory, he would only loudly "criticize" Ye Lan's behavior in the group, and ask for a hug as comfort when no one was around. But now Xiao, that kind of coldness seemed to permeate his soul, and there was not a single emotional fluctuation.

"Toma, I'm craving for some date honey. Can you and Amuro-kun help me ask the front desk lady if she has any?" Nashida suddenly changed the subject and said to Thomas and Amuro Toru. It was obvious that she wanted to get rid of the two of them. Amuro Toru knew that this gentle and kind little girl would probably not want him to participate in the following conversation, and if they stayed any longer, they would just ignore him. So Amuro Toru simply left with Thomas.

Maybe we can squeeze some information out of Thomas.

"Let's go in first. I have something to talk about." Nashida's gaze lingered on Xiao's gloves longer than on his appearance. The girl who always smiled gently suddenly became serious and demanded a conversation forcefully.

"Okay, you..." Shi Ning was about to tell Xiao to go to Thomas when he was interrupted by Nashida, "What I'm going to say next is related to him. Take him with you, Ningning."

Back in the room, Shi Ning sat on the chair, Xiao stood straight beside her, and Nashida sat down on the edge of the bed, creating an atmosphere of a three-court trial.

"Your Eye of God is about to go out." Nashida said seriously after releasing a light green barrier.

Xiao was unmoved. He lowered his eyes slightly, not wanting to divide his attention with others.

Shi Ning was anxious. She stood up and took two steps forward, breathing heavily and quickly: "The Eye of God... is about to go out?"

This has never happened before.

The Eyes of God of the classmates that Shi Ning had met were all dazzling, just like their consciousness of fighting against the role-playing card and trying to maintain their own light. Although Shi Ning had some guesses after seeing the dull and colorless Eye of God on Xiao's gloves, he didn't dare to think about it too much, for fear that something terrible would happen after it was exposed.

But this self-deceiving cloth was taken away by Nashida, forcing Shi Ning to face it.

"I am a god. Although I am not in control of the wind, I am very sensitive to elemental forces." Nashida said solemnly, "The elemental force in Xiao's body is very scarce. The remnants of the demon god have taken over and eroded his memory and emotions. It is a miracle that he can still have such strong emotions now."

The girl hidden under the boy's cold and hard expression never gave up. Even though she had forgotten why she was still persisting, she was still waiting, waiting for someone to pull her out of the darkness and out of the quagmire.

"...This person can't be me." Shi Ning stood up suddenly. She walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, took a deep breath anxiously, suppressed her inner anxiety, and spoke calmly.

"Why not you?" Nashida asked back, "You brought him out of the laboratory, and you can also pull her out of the darkness."

"No, I can't. At least it shouldn't be me." Shi Ning concealed all her worries. She thought calmly and integrated all the information she had obtained.

Because Xiao completely trusts her, she can see the role-playing card and content on Xiao.

[[Temporarily sealed] The last Liyue Yaksha, fulfilling the contract with the Emperor of the Rock, guards Liyue, unchanged for eternity. ]

If it was me who pulled him out, then this role-playing card would never become real.

If the role-playing card cannot come true, what punishment will Xiao face? Xiao has become like this now, he can't stand any punishment, that will only make his current personality completely shattered.

Therefore, Shi Ning must strictly follow the plot in the role-playing card.

Then, the most suitable person to pull Xiao out of the darkness can only be Zhongli, the Geo King.

"Emperor Rock King, it can only be him, and only him." Shi Ning repeated to himself.

After Shi Ning came to this conclusion, Nashida smiled, and her eyes returned to their usual gentleness and tranquility: "Just do what you want, you have someone to back you up."

"So... are you done talking?" Ye Lan leaned against the door without knowing when. She gently knocked on the light green barrier: "I submitted the task after we finished talking. This task has already wasted too much time."

Nashida raised her hand and tore off the barrier: "Of course."

"In the first case, the main culprit of Ito Yoriyoshi's death was Kanehara, and the accomplices were Nishiho Tatsumi and Ito Nobuhiro."

"In the second case, Nobuhiro Ito's death was a suicide, but he faked the scene before that, creating the illusion of a home invasion and murder, and the people he chose as scapegoats were his parents."

"As for the reason... because his parents are crows, Gin and Tartaglia are here because this hot spring hotel is a covert intelligence exchange. Ito's parents, who have been crows for many years, don't want to continue living as crows, so their son, Ito Nobuhiro, put the blame of his own death on Ito's parents and sent them to prison through the police."

"After the murder, this hotel will definitely be thoroughly investigated. The crow symbol cannot be concealed. Once this symbol is discovered, it will be reported to higher authorities. In the end, his parents will be protected and avoid the people sent by the organization."

"It's a very clever plan. The only drawback is my own death." Ye Lan was impressed by Ito Nobuhiro's wisdom.

Just look at Jinyuan's condition and you will know that the possession of the demon remnants will make the possessed person in an extremely uncomfortable state for a long time. Even so, Ito Nobuhiro still set up a perfect game and even calculated his parents' future movements clearly. If there were no influence of the demon remnants, this game would have been even more difficult to solve.
