Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Is it just the old problem again, Senior?" Clorinde said. "Not everyone is as sensitive as a wolf."

"That's true." Hei Yao reacted and said.

Clorinde sighed in anger, and then Sirius confirmed the transcript and returned the file to her.

She took the file, nodded, and said, "Alright, that's all for now. Although it's a little late, welcome to the City of Evil. From now on, please do your best to abide by the law and avoid causing trouble. This place isn't as safe as other cities. If you encounter illegal activities again, please prioritize your own safety. The rules here are only to provide protection for the people. If safety is restricted, the rules become a stumbling block. Remember this."

Mo Yan and the others nodded, said goodbye to Clorinde and Hei Yao, and left the police station.

Walking on the street, Kailin kept sighing.

"What a thrilling day! I never knew Officer Clorinde and Miss Obsidian were both kindhearted."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Tianlang stopped and looked puzzled.

Kailin turned to look at Yue Tianlang and said, "Didn't you say that the only people who set foot here are either extremely heinous criminals or violent police officers? Did you forget?"

"That's what you're talking about," Tianlang replied while thinking. "That actually makes sense. Remember I said the same thing before? The original Vice City wasn't really a city, but a concentration camp for criminals."

"Well, I remember, but what is the relationship between the two?" Zhao Heng asked.

"This is a very important matter. You probably don't know this yet, but it was none other than Shadow Tyrant Rednos who first suggested to the Evil Demon that the concentration camp be transformed into a city. Shadow Tyrant invested heavily in expanding the concentration camp, and the criminals here provided a ready-made labor force."

"The prisoners built this city with their own hands, and they feel a sense of accomplishment and a new life here. Even after being released from prison, many are reluctant to leave this city that is so woven with their blood, sweat, and tears."

"This place has become a paradise for criminals. Some who have lost hope in life even commit crimes just to get a chance at a new life here. Gradually, more and more people come here, and to facilitate supervision, Yingba once again proposed the idea of ​​punishing crime with crime."

"You mean using prisoners to guard prisoners? Aren't you afraid that the criminals will take the opportunity to start a riot?" Karen asked.

Moon Wolf nodded and said, "The Evil Demon questioned Shadow Tyrant in the same way back then, but Rednos had already made preparations. He selected several capable guards from the Abyss and screened the candidate prisoners one by one. The guards you see today are mostly the descendants of former prisoners. Although they have restrained themselves, they were once considered no different from thugs."

"A city ruled by criminals is just like its name." Zi Xuan sighed.

"Everyone says so." Tianlang smiled and shrugged.

At this time, Mo Yan looked at Kailin again and asked what happened at night.

"By the way, Kailin, do you really not know who saved you?"

"Why are you asking that too?" Kailin said impatiently, hands on her hips. "I want to know too, but after we dealt with those two thieves, he just vanished in a flash. Even if I wanted to ask, I don't know where to go."

Having said that, Tianlang couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, actually, you don't need to ask specifically. If my guess is correct, what you encountered should be an evil spirit."

"Ah? Evil?"

The four were very surprised after hearing this.

Tianlang smiled and said, "That's right. You can tell from the expressions of Clorinde and Miss Obsidian that they are both contractors of the evil spirit, so they must recognize the person who saved you. Moreover, he hates evil and acts decisively, so not leaving his name is consistent with his characteristics."

"That's such a coincidence. He appeared just when those two thieves were about to run away?" Karen asked in confusion.

"This is the power of the evil demon," Tianlang said. "The human heart of evil, like the deep sinner we encountered earlier, can clearly sense whether there are sinners nearby committing evil. You may not believe it, but this is the obsession that makes it a guardian. Evil thoughts turn into evil, and the shadow of evil entangles souls. With its own power, it devours all the evil in the world."

Tianlang smiled again and said, "Putting this aside, perhaps he has noticed you from the very beginning."

"After all, you are outsiders and you are carrying weapons. This is his territory. In order to maintain order here, he must be vigilant against you. However, since he has already appeared, maybe he is watching somewhere now." He said with a forced smile.

"But if that's the case, the evil spirit should also notice you, right?" Zi Xuan asked at this time.

"Yes, aren't you friends? If the evil spirit had noticed us earlier, he would definitely have seen you as well. But why didn't he come out to see you?" Karen reacted and asked.

Tianlang shrugged and said, "It's simple. We are guardians. We are like gods in the eyes of the people. How can we just come out and see people casually?"

"Is that so?" Kailin looked at Tianlang with disdain. To be honest, this statement coming from his mouth was not convincing at all.

"Hey, why do I feel like you are thinking of something very rude? Am I so unreliable in your eyes?" Tianlang said with disdain.

"How could that be? We're close friends." Mo Yan stepped forward to persuade her, then looked at Kailin, "Isn't that right?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, you are our important partner, but... sometimes it would be nice if you could maintain a little dignity," Kailin explained awkwardly.

Tianlang seemed very helpless after hearing this. After all, he was a half-baked person, and it was inevitable that others would have other ideas. But hearing these words coming from his partner's mouth was really chilling.

He shook his head, sighed angrily, and then walked ahead on his own.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, Tianlang left without looking back, leaving only four people standing there.

"Are you angry?" Mo Yan whispered.

"Yeah, he must be angry." Zixuan replied.

Several people looked at Kailin at the same time, and she herself looked very embarrassed at the moment.

"Ha..." Zhao Heng sighed angrily, "Let's go back."

Everyone trotted a few steps and followed Tianlang closely without daring to make a sound, but Tianlang was watching their actions deliberately. When he saw that they were following him on tiptoe but didn't dare to talk to him, he was so happy.

That's right, he did it on purpose. He had been a guardian for at least 5000 years and was used to hearing gossip. What Karin said had been said countless times by other guardians. If he paid attention to every word others said, he would not be able to be a guardian.

He felt at ease and shook himself from time to time.

At this time, Mo Yan and Zhao Heng noticed Tianlang's appearance and reacted. They stopped and looked very helpless.

At this moment, Mo Yan was thinking: This kid is a bit sinister.
