Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Manager Liu, it seems your people can't escape now." Zhao Heng said coldly, holding the Tooth Dragon Spear against Manager Liu's throat.

At this moment, Lei Ming came to his side, folded his arms and said, "Alright, although this guy deserves it, it's not the time to kill him yet."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Zi Xuan asked.

Lei Ming turned around and replied, "This guy is doomed to fail for selling contraband in Linhui, but he's definitely not the main culprit. From what I've heard, there are many other evil merchants selling 'Linghua Pills' hiding in the harbor. Since they're in the same group, I think we should be able to get some information out of them."

"I see, that's a good deal for him." Zhao Heng swung his gun around and swung it behind Shopkeeper Liu, knocking him to his knees. "Then I'll hand him over to you."

"Well, thank you." Lei Ming nodded.

After Zhao Heng handed Manager Liu over to Lei Ming, Lei Ming quickly took everyone present away. Looking at the other party's leaving figure, he sighed angrily.

At this moment, Tianlang suddenly came out from somewhere.

"Oh, your luck is really bad. You always run into bad luck wherever you go." Tianlang looked at Zhao Heng with a joking expression.

"Sirius? When did you come?" Kailin asked in surprise and confusion.

"I arrived when Lei Ming and the others arrived. I originally just wanted to come here to join in the fun before looking for you guys. I didn't expect..." Tianlang explained, then shook his head, "Hey, you don't have that innate constitution that the rumors say you do?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Tianlang with disdain.

"But then again, where did you go?" Kailin asked with her arms folded.

Mo Yan nodded: "Yes, I didn't see you at the hotel this morning."

Tianlang scratched his head and replied, "I'm just out on some business."

"work?"

"Well...it's just a personal matter, don't worry about it." Tianlang replied with a slight hesitation.

"Really?" Mo Yan folded his arms and sighed angrily. "Never mind, let's put this aside for now. Speaking of which, Zhao Heng, you didn't realize there was something wrong with this place right from the start, did you?"

"That's not the case," Zhao Heng replied. "At first, I really didn't pay much attention to it, but then when I saw the environment here, I felt an indescribable strangeness, so I became cautious."

"I see." Mo Yan nodded.

"You're worthy of being someone who's been in and out of the workplace all year round," Kailin teased.

"I'll just take it as a compliment." Zhao Heng turned his head and said calmly.

At this moment, Tianlang lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "But I didn't expect that this harmful thing would spread here again."

"Again?" Kailin asked doubtfully.

Tianlang turned his head and nodded, saying, "Yes, you are outsiders and don't know the history of Linhui. In fact, as early as 200 years ago, this so-called Linghua Pill had already taken root here."

"No way?" Kailin asked in surprise.

"It's true. The one who brought this thing into the market was not someone else, but the Sanu people we met in Akagi." Tianlang replied.

"Ah, them again?"

"Incredible, right? But this is the truth. We talked about this before in Akagi. The Sanu people were scattered far and wide during the war. In search of a new home, they've taken root like termites all over the world. And because of this incident, Sangangwan was almost destroyed. Fortunately, Akano saved the day. Otherwise, it's hard to say what would happen here now."

Having said this, Tianlang lowered his head and pondered: "Alas, even so, now that this harmful creature has appeared again, I am afraid it will bring another disaster."

"Oh, it's not that serious, is it?" Karen said.

"In that case, why don't we go find Lu Xi to find out what's going on?" Zi Xuan asked.

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment: "Looking for Lu Xi? But we can't just enter the naval base whenever we want."

"That's true..." Zi Xuan lowered her head and began to think again.

At this time, Tianlang smiled and said, "In that case, how about this? I heard that Luo Hao's soldiers are stationed near the beach. How about we go to the barracks to find him first, and then ask Luo Hao to get Lei Ming and the others out?"

"Will this work?" Mo Yan asked.

Kailin nodded: "Yes, since Luo Hao is also from the military, why don't we ask him directly?"

"Because some things need to be kept confidential for now," Tianlang said.

After hesitating for a moment, everyone finally decided to walk towards the beach.

When they arrived at the military camp near the beach, they were stopped by a soldier on guard. Tianlang approached and explained his purpose to the soldier. The soldier looked at them, then turned back and went back to report.

After a while, the soldier came out and said, "Everyone, our military advisor has agreed to let you in."

"Okay, we have a prison." Tianlang nodded, and then walked into the military camp with everyone else.

In the military tent, Luo Hao was processing approval documents. When he saw everyone walking in with serious faces, he immediately stood up and spoke respectfully.

"Please take a seat, everyone. I wonder what brings you here." Luo Hao said with a smile, and then served the tea prepared for everyone.

"It's like this, we have something we'd like to ask Mr. Luo Hao for help with," Zhao Heng said.

Hearing this, Luo Hao nodded: "I see, you all probably want to inquire about those medicine dealers."

"Ah? You already know?" Karen asked in surprise.

"Of course, this matter is of great importance. It is impossible for Lu Xi and the others to hide it from me, their teacher." Luo Hao said.

"In that case, can you tell us when this harmful thing started to spread here?" Tianlang asked.

Luo Hao shook his head. "I don't know about that either. The reason we're paying attention to this matter is because after the tsunami yesterday, the salvage fleet on the coast suddenly pulled up a specially disguised box from the water. After we opened it, we discovered that the boxes were filled with unsealed Dream Erosion Pills."

"Dream-Eroding Pill?" everyone asked in surprise.

Luo Hao nodded. "That's right. Two hundred years ago, the Sanu people settled in Sangang Bay and brought the Dream-Eroding Pill with them. As the name suggests, taking this pill will temporarily soothe people's spirits, but they will soon become listless. If they don't continue to use it, they will go crazy. As the dosage increases, the whole person will fall into a state of confusion."

"Is it so serious?" Kailin asked in surprise.

Zi Xuan lowered her head and said, "Sure enough, this is the real version of XX."

"Oh, so you know this thing?" Luo Hao asked.

Zi Xuan nodded: "Yes, in our world, the same thing has been killing our compatriots in the past, and not only has it not been extinct until today, but all kinds of dangerous things have been derived from it."

"So that's how it is." Luo Hao nodded again.
