Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler
Chapter 59: This is a serious matter and we cannot sit idly by
Sister Baoer gritted her teeth and took out a jade pendant from her arms.
Please note that this jade pendant is worn close to her body, with the emphasis on the word "close to her body".
Just like that, Sister Baoer placed the jade pendant in Gu Chen's hands.
Gu Chen didn't care at all.
He looked at the jade pendant against the moonlight.
The jade pendant has a lustrous texture, a simple shape, and feels soft and gentle to the touch. It is indeed a rare piece of beautiful jade.
After a little sensing, Gu Chen discovered that this thing can not only ward off poison, but also ward off evil spirits. It is indeed a good self-defense treasure.
From this perspective, Sister Baoer’s words are somewhat credible.
Throwing the jade pendant back to her, Gu Chen motioned her to continue.
After taking the jade pendant, Sister Baoer didn't know whether she felt ashamed or sad.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so she still narrated honestly:
"When the brothers were taking effect of the drug, I pretended to be in pain and lay on the ground to avoid being exposed. That's when I heard the Xumi man's request.
He asked us to capture as many people as possible from all around, and they had to be healthy and alive.
It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, young or old, as long as you catch them alive, the more you catch, the better.
It seems that he not only controls our group of treasure-hunting people, but also controls other treasure-hunting groups.
He also set requirements for us.
If we cannot capture enough people alive before dawn the next day, that is, before dawn today, he will trigger the medicinal properties in our bodies from a distance and make us die in pain!
The brothers could not bear this kind of torture, nor did they want to die, so they could only be used by him.
During this process, I was pretending and I was carefully crawling towards the entrance of the ruins.
Maybe I was lucky, or maybe that Xumi man didn't take me seriously at all, so he didn't pay much attention to my actions.
When I got close to the door, I stopped pretending and ran away from the ruins!
As soon as I ran out, I was attacked from the back by the Sumeru man.
Fortunately, the injury was not fatal, and I endured the pain and ran away desperately.
Having said that, in order to prove her point, Sister Baoer simply turned around, rolled up her clothes, and exposed her back.
Her back was wrapped in several bandages, and blood was seeping from beneath the bandages.
The area of bleeding was quite large, and it looked like the injury was indeed not light.
Against the backdrop of the moonlight, her back and her wounds held a tragic beauty...
Unfortunately, neither the previous jade pendant nor the current wound display has any effect on Gu Chen.
It was as if he was looking at a pink skeleton. Gu Chen had no expression on his face and his tone was cold:
"Don't think about anything else, I won't buy it.
Excuse me for being frank, you are quite pretty, but unfortunately you are not to my liking.
You won't get my sympathy by using such unconventional methods.
The only way you can get me to help you is to be honest."
Sister Baoer turned around and made a clear hissing sound.
After a disdainful snort, she dropped her clothes and turned to look at Gu Chen again.
Although there was disgust and resentment in her eyes, her expression was much more genuine.
Maintaining this state, Sister Baoer said with a pout:
"You're awesome.
My beauty is well-known among the treasure-stealing group, and you actually look down on me!
But I didn’t lie, everything I said before was true.”
Gu Chen remained unmoved:
"Stop talking nonsense, what's next?"
"Then I ran away completely from the ruins, really far away!
In the afternoon, I met my brothers elsewhere. When I met them, they were kidnapping passing merchants.
I advised them a little, saying that we are only looking for money and not killing people, and that this kind of thing cannot be done.
My brothers were all very angry and said that if they didn't do this, they would die and there was nothing they could do.
And my brothers were very angry that I had run away and could not share their hardships.
So, we parted ways.”
Having said that, Sister Baoer gritted her teeth:
“It’s said that we’re going our separate ways, but how can it be that easy?
This group of brothers has been with me for several years, and the treasure-hunting group is a place that values morality and affection.
As the boss, how can I watch them rush towards a point of no return?
I couldn't deal with that Xumi man, so I could only find a way to follow my brothers and watch them kidnapping people all day long and sending living people into the ruins.
Until tonight, until just now, until my brothers met you and got humiliated by you.
I can see that you are very capable, so I showed up to meet you.
I hope you can help me save my brothers."
This is basically all the cause and effect that Sister Baoer can describe.
After hearing this, Gu Chen's expression was complicated.
It is now early morning, which is the second day.
The incident first happened yesterday morning, which was the morning of the first day.
What happened yesterday morning?
He and Xiao had just saved Qingce Village and Shenhe.
The doctor, carrying with him a large portion of the demon's remnants, disappeared.
Considering that the culprit in Sister Baoer's story was a Xumi person...
And considering what Shen He said, the one who deceived and exploited her was also a disguised Xumi scholar...
Alas... Doctor, doctor, what on earth are you going to do?
You asked the treasure-hunting group to kidnap so many living people into the ruins for you. You can't possibly enslave them and make them mine for you in the ruins, right?
There must be some great plan going on, for sure!
Now it is no longer a question of whether Gu Chen is willing to help Sister Baoer, but that he cannot sit idly by.
If we allow this madman, the doctor, to continue, who knows what kind of disaster he will cause?
So, Gu Chen looked at Sister Baoer seriously:
"I understand. I believe the facts you stated."
Sister Baoer is a little bit unbelievable:
"Do you trust me so much?"
Gu Chen did not answer this question, but asked another question:
"So much time has passed since yesterday morning. Have you ever considered reporting the case to the Qianyan Army or the Liyue authorities for help?"
Sister Baoer pointed at herself in disbelief:
"Please! I'm from the treasure-stealing group!
Who should I ask for help? I won't ask the Qianyan Army for help! Isn't this just walking into a trap for me? "
Gu Chen smiled:
"Right.
To be honest with you, I'm willing to help you.
It’s not because of the reward you promised me before, but I’m a little concerned about that Xumi man.
I had a feeling he was going to do something big, and I couldn't just sit back and watch.
So, lead the way, let's go and take a look at the ruins you mentioned."
Looking at Gu Chen in surprise, Sister Baoer didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so she nodded.
He had originally planned to leave like this, but considering that Paimon and Noelle were still sleeping soundly in the tent, Gu Chen made some arrangements before leaving.
