Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

After listening to Kiana's description, Xing shifted his gaze from the chat group in front of him and looked towards the figure in front of him who was constantly reducing the number of people in the clockwork mechanism.

The figure seemed to know what she was going to say, and before she could open her mouth, he said, "Wait a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flame on the sword became even brighter, and with a simple flick forward he took away all the clockwork mechanisms in front of him.

Only scattered clockwork mechanisms remained in the corners.

Rumbling--

After doing all this, Lin Mao came to Xing's side, swapped the swords in their hands, and let her use the Xinyan sword without any impurities.

Then he pointed to the few remaining clockwork mechanisms and said, "Hey, I left a few for you. Be careful not to get hurt."

Xing looked at the big sword in his hand that exuded a terrifying aura, and then looked at the ordinary big sword in Lin Mao's hand, without worrying too much about it.

Taking a deep breath, he rushed towards the attacking clockwork mechanism, "Take your aunt's sword!"

It must be said that Xing still has some strength. Although he is always defeated in the chat group, he can still gain the upper hand when facing those outside the chat group.

In addition, with the assistance of the power of the Herrscher of the Fire, as long as I am not careless, I can quickly deal with these clockwork mechanisms.

"I have a question."

Lin Mao looked at the star shuttling back and forth between the clockwork mechanisms and spoke slowly:

"Something like this shouldn't be something that everyone can own or mobilize, right?"

"Eh? Ask me?"

Funina had a silly and cute look on her face. Of course she knew about the clockwork mechanism. After all, it was quite common in Fontaine and there were often clockwork mechanisms patrolling an area.

But she didn't know the details.

Just as she was trying to recall the memories about the clockwork mechanism in her mind, a cold voice came from behind her.

"Clockwork mechanisms are usually used for production and guarding. Clockwork mechanisms that are used for production-related work are often used by merchants, but clockwork mechanisms like these that are well-equipped and have good combat capabilities... are usually used by officials."

Clorinde, who had sensed the commotion here, walked slowly forward and stopped behind Funina.

Finina turned her head and glanced at her, not surprised by her appearance.

Curiously asked, "In other words, the murderer is very likely a powerful person in Fontaine?"

From the information revealed by Clorinde, it can be seen that a clockwork mechanism like this is obviously not something that a businessman can have.

"No, they are not the only ones who can use it."

Clorinde thought for a moment while looking at the clockwork mechanisms, then shook her head and said, "I wonder if Lady Funina knows about the smuggling of clockwork mechanisms?"

smuggling?

Seeing that Funina had understood, Clorinde continued:

"The clockwork mechanisms of organizations such as the Shadow Chaser have specific numbers on them, but these clockwork mechanisms do not have numbers indicating their identities, which means that these are not the clockwork mechanisms we have."

This discovery indirectly proves that the murderer is not a senior Fontaine executive with an official background.

Otherwise it will be exposed later.

The real culprit of the "serial disappearance of girls case" that has been hanging over Fontaine for decades like a shadow turned out to be someone with an official background.

I am afraid that this will cause the public to lose trust in the Fontaine government.

Trust is hard to build, but it only takes a few fools, or maybe just one, to break it.

"The murderer has so many clockwork mechanisms and transported them here. He must have left traces on the road. We can follow this clue to investigate."

Clorinde spoke out.

Lin Mao, wearing the skin of Qiana, waved his hand and said, "Let's find Navia first. She holds important clues to the 'serial disappearance of girls' case'. The murderer's target this time is very likely to be her."

But Navia seemed to have discovered the problem in advance and now no one knows where she has hidden.

Suddenly, Lin Mao raised his hand.

Because he ignored the defense behind him, Clockwork felt a sudden heat when he touched the star behind him.

Flames suddenly appeared around it and surrounded it. The few remaining clockwork mechanisms around it crashed into it without any intelligence, and then were invaded by the flames.

The parts inside the body were destroyed and, as expected, they turned into scrap metal and fell to the ground.

puff-

Hearing the noise behind him, Xing turned his head to look at the extra clockwork mechanism on the ground behind him, and understood why Lin Mao suddenly took action.

There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes when he looked at Lin Mao.

I had just been reminded to be careful, but not long after, due to my carelessness, I was touched from behind by the clockwork mechanism without even realizing it.

"Thank you Ang."

"I'm not helping for nothing. Just consider this as advance payment for the train fare."

This is no different from free help, and I don’t plan to charge any fees anyway.

Xing thought to herself.

at the same time.

After going deep into the seabed, Ying finally saw the culprit who brought her to Fontaine.

Looking at the familiar smiling face in front of him, Ying immediately bared his teeth and threatened: "Do you know how much I paid to come to Fontaine to bail you out?"

Hearing this, Wendy looked embarrassed. Even he himself did not expect this.

I came to Fontaine just to drink, but how did I end up getting myself into trouble?

Fortunately, this news did not get back to Mond, otherwise his prestige as a god would have been shattered.

However, judging from the usual behavior of the Mond people... they don't seem to care too much about the existence of this suspected wind god being arrested by the Fontaine water god.

The songs continue to be sung, the wine continues to be drunk, and life continues to go on as usual.

"Ahem, I'll give you a satisfactory reward."

Facing Shangying's dissatisfied look, Wendy coughed twice and said:

"I don't want any reward. I just want you to send me to Liyue from Fontaine now! Immediately! Then send me to Inazuma after the Lantern Festival, and then to Xumi..."

Before Ying could finish, Wendy interrupted her.

"It doesn't matter whether I leave Fontaine and go to Liyue, or send you to Xumi, but Inazuma is a little... you know."

"What do I know?"

Ying looked at Wendy with disdain. The dignified Wind God of Mondstadt actually showed a fearful expression when talking about Inazuma.

"I'll be beaten!"

Wendy said in a timid tone, "Last time I wanted Tevarin to take me to Inazuma secretly, but I was almost beaten to death by that crazy woman. If she hadn't stopped in the end, you probably wouldn't have seen me."

Crazy woman? The god of Inazuma?

"Aren't you a god too? How come you were almost beaten to death by gods from other countries?"

"Alas, there are also differences between gods."

Wendy shook her hands as if she was holding a wine glass, and facing Ying's inquiring eyes, she was obviously unwilling to say more.

You can't just tell others that you are the weakest among the seven gods, right?

He still wants to have some face.
