Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

After hearing what Athenus said, Mo Yan nodded in understanding: "So that's how it is. But if that's the case, wouldn't it be easier for me to just go find this Ghost King directly?"

Athenus nodded and replied, "It's certainly possible, but the 'Lord of the Dead' has a peculiarity: he only appears to the living. This means that in this land of the dead, where complaints abound, it's nearly impossible to meet him in person."

Hearing this, Mo Yan was shocked: "So, I can only wait slowly?"

"Indeed, but don't worry. It's a rare acquaintance, and even though we're enemies, I'll at least help you a little." Athens turned and said, "Come with me, let's have some tea first. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't come, unless you want to wait like this forever."

"Okay, like you said, even though they are enemies..." Mo Yan shook his head. Although he was very reluctant, he still chose to follow considering the condition of his eyes.

……

In the world of the living, Linhui Hot Spring Hotel.

At 9:00 PM, Kailin arrived at the door early to wait. It must be said that after soaking in the hot springs, she felt a hundred times more energetic.

Soon, Yaohui, Yue Tianlang, and Li Xueqi also followed Zhao Heng and Zixuan downstairs.

"Oh, our eldest lady got up so early? That's rare. I thought you were going to have a hangover again today." Zi Xuan said with a smile.

"Xuanxuan, why are you just like that guy, always talking about the pot without opening it? I told you I would pay attention, otherwise I wouldn't be so energetic." Kailin said with some dissatisfaction with her hands folded.

Zixuan smiled softly and said, "Really? But if we hadn't stopped you, I'm afraid you would have gone to the store owner to buy three more buckets."

"Um... not really, but I was a little excited yesterday," Kailin said awkwardly. "But speaking of which, that guy is so slow. We were supposed to separate from Yaohui and the others today, but he still hasn't come out. It's really frustrating!"

She put her hands on her hips. Zhao Heng, who was standing beside her, also noticed something was wrong and said thoughtfully, "It's strange. Usually, Mo Yan rarely stays in bed, but why is he so…"

"Maybe he was too drunk yesterday? I saw him staggering when he returned to the room." Zixuan said.

"Oh, no way, I remember he only drank one sip yesterday. Is his alcohol tolerance really that low in reality?" Karen said.

"That's hard to say. I've seen people get drunk just by smelling the food at banquets before," Zhao Heng replied.

Zixuan nodded and continued, "But no matter what, we are going to be separated from Yaohui, Miss Xueqi and the others today. It is indeed a bit inappropriate for him to do this."

Kailin put her hands on her hips and said, "There's nothing else we can do. Let's go wake him up."

As they spoke, everyone re-entered the hotel and went upstairs. Kailin stood at the door of Mo Yan's room and knocked loudly.

Boom boom boom!

"Hey, Mo Yan, get up, the sun is almost shining on your butt!" She shouted, but no matter how she shouted, there was no movement in the house. "Hey, Mo Yan, everyone is waiting for you, can you please not sleep anymore, please?"

At this moment, Zi Xuan, who was standing by, lowered her head and thought, "Strange, is it usually this hard to call out to a drunk person?"

At this moment, seeing that there was no movement, Yaohui, who was standing by, suddenly frowned and said seriously: "No, something must have happened!"

"What?" Karen was stunned, then subconsciously hid aside.

With a loud bang, Yaohui kicked the door open. When everyone entered the room, they found Mo Yan lying on the bed, already dead.

At this moment, the atmosphere was very solemn, especially for Kailin, who almost cried.

Li Xueqi bent down and carefully checked Mo Yan's physical condition. Everyone had high expectations for her and hoped that they were overthinking it, but after a moment she stood up and shook her head.

"he already……"

Before she finished speaking, Kailin knelt beside the bed and started crying.

"How could this happen? Mo Yan, wake up! Didn't this guy say before that we should find a way to go home together? But what are you doing now?!"

Zi Xuan: "Yes, we have come all the way, whether it was Xuan Yue, Hei Yu, Chi Cheng or Sang Yang before, haven't we always come this far? But why did you just…"

No one believed that Mo Yan had gone, but the fact was that no matter how they called, Mo Yan did not move at all.

Looking at Mo Yan lying on the bed, Yaohui clenched his fists, but could only sigh helplessly.

He looked at Li Xueqi and asked, "Sister Xueqi, what's going on?"

Li Xueqi sighed and said, "I checked, he died of alcohol poisoning, and judging by the time, it must have been at least three hours."

"Three hours?" Tianlang said, eyes wide. "So, it's the latter half of the night?"

"Hmm." She nodded.

At this time, Kailin was surprised and confused: "Alcohol poisoning? You read it right, he only drank a little yesterday, how could he..."

"You're right. Normally, that wouldn't happen. But what if you drank fake blended wine?"

"Fake wine!?" everyone exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Before I heard that, I've seen quite a few related cases at Clorinde's. Some unscrupulous merchants, in order to make money, would mix industrial or even inferior alcohol, and then sell it to the catering industry through special channels." Yaohui recalled with his head down.

Li Xueqi nodded again and said, "Do you remember what happened last night?"

"last night?"

"Yes, I said that last night..."

"Come to think of it, has Rinki's wine always been like this? Why does it always feel a little weird?"

"Will you? Sorry, I don't usually drink, so..."

"Oh, it's okay. I just feel the elemental power in my body is a little chaotic, but don't worry, I have suppressed it."

"Yes, I remember that too." Tianlang nodded and said, "Not only you, but also Mo Yan and even Zhao Heng felt the same way at the time."

"Yes, at that time we all thought that it might be because Lin Hui's way of brewing wine was different, which indirectly caused the blood elements in my body to start surging. Now I think it was all because of the poisonous alcohol." Li Xueqi said.

"Now I remember it now. Mo Yan said he felt a little dizzy, and then he staggered away. Now I think that was a symptom of alcohol poisoning." Zi Xuan reacted and said.

Hearing this, Kailin was a little confused: "That's not right. We drank a lot at the time, and he drank the least. How come he was the only one who was poisoned?"

At this moment, everyone looked at Li Xueqi again at the same time.

Li Xueqi lowered her head in thought, "I just checked. Besides the symptoms of alcohol poisoning, Mo Yan also has some red rashes on his skin, which are clearly caused by an allergy. So, my preliminary estimate is that he's in shock from the poisoning and then the allergy."
