Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Stop, don't run!"

On the streets of Evil City, two masked men were pursued by dozens of security guards. According to the informant, the two men had previously harassed and robbed him in an alley, and the security guards arrived to stop the "robbery." Little did they know, the so-called robbery was merely an unintended detour from the two men's plan, compounded by a series of misunderstandings.

"I say, we did nothing wrong, why should we run?" Mo Yan asked breathlessly.

"I don't know, but given the situation at the time, they wouldn't believe us even if we explained!" Zhao Heng panted, his voice much higher than usual. "Anyway, let's go find Kailin first. As long as she's there, we can prove it!"

The two hurriedly turned another street, and just when they thought they were about to get rid of the guards, a bolt of lightning struck in front of them with a "boom".

"Wow!"

Mo Yan and Zhao Heng hurriedly stopped. When they stopped, they were only one step away from where the lightning struck.

"Is this, a sword?" Mo Yan looked forward and saw a sharp sword stuck in the ground, and the sword body was still emitting electricity.

At this time, footsteps were heard from the side, and then the familiar purple-haired woman came in front of the two of them with a gun in hand.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you!" The woman said sternly, holding the gun against Mo Yan's brow.

At this moment, Mo Yan gave the woman an awkward smile and said, "So it's Miss Clorinde... Calm down, don't shoot. It's us."

"That voice..." After hearing it, Clorinde became suspicious, so she pulled off Mo Yan and Zhao Heng's hoods. When she saw their faces, she was completely stunned. "Why are you here again?"

Mo Yan raised his hands and said awkwardly, "If I say this was an accident, would you believe me?"

"Ha..." Clorinde covered her head and sighed angrily, then put away her gun and said seriously, "Tell me why you did this."

"We're doing this out of helplessness." Mo Yan slowly stood up from the ground. "This was all Kailin's idea. She believed that as long as a crime occurred, it would likely draw out your guardian evil spirit, so we agreed to put on a show here. Unexpectedly, we were mistaken for real robbers right from the start."

His tone was so helpless that even Clorinde couldn't bear to look at him.

She sighed again and said seriously, "I basically understand what's going on. Regardless of the reason, do you understand the consequences of doing this? You're disturbing the peace. In the Black Domain, I must detain you for 15 days according to the law."

Hearing this, Mo Yan's eyes widened.

"Ah, has it been that long?"

"Of course, but considering that this is your first offense, and also for the sake of Lord Yuesheng, I will not pursue the matter this time, but it will not happen again." Clorinde said seriously with her arms folded.

"Okay, we'll pay attention." Mo Yan said with a forced smile.

Clorinde nodded gently and looked at Zhao Heng and said, "And this gentleman, please take off your hood. It's not appropriate to wear such things here."

"Okay." Zhao Heng nodded and then took off his mask.

Clorinde looked at the two and nodded with satisfaction. "Then, before we find Miss Kailin and Miss Zixuan, please come to the bureau and sit for a while."

Mo Yan and Zhao Heng looked at each other and nodded. And so, the two followed Clorinde to the bureau once again. But surprisingly, Kailin and Zixuan had both arrived before them.

The two sat in the waiting room. When the four of them saw each other, the atmosphere was very heavy. No one dared to speak, fearing being questioned; nor did they dare to ask questions, fearing the other party would get angry. It was not until Hei Yao walked towards the four of them with a big laugh that the heavy atmosphere was broken.

"Pfft hahaha!"

"Ms. Obsidian, what are you laughing at?" Karen asked awkwardly.

Hei Yao held his stomach and wiped his eyes and said, "Sorry, it was too funny and I couldn't help it. The four of you pretended to be robbers to lure out the evil master, but were mistaken for real robbers. You pretended to be victims all the way, and ended up encountering real robbers. Who would believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes? Hahahaha~"

"It's not our fault. Who could have thought something like this would happen? It seems the plan needs to be improved." Karen said helplessly, then lowered her head to think.

At this time, Hei Yao waved his hand and said, "Alright, if it were you, don't waste your time. If Lord Evil was so easily deceived, he wouldn't have stayed here as a guardian for 5000 years. And you are not the only ones who have such thoughts in order to see Lord Evil."

"So, we're not the only ones who have done this?" Karen asked.

"Of course, if you don't harbor direct ill will towards others, Lord Evil won't notice. That's why it was me, not Lord Evil, who came to rescue you when you were robbed. I was nearby at the time. As his contractor, and someone who primarily focuses on evil, I could also sense the ill will those two villains had for you."

"No way, then won't we never have the chance to see the evil again?" Karen said disappointedly.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's the case." Hei Yao nodded with a hint of helplessness, then smiled and persuaded, "But don't overthink it. You guys want to see Master Evil so much, maybe one day he will take the initiative to see you, maybe today, or maybe tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Hei Yao, Kailin felt very lost on the way. After two consecutive days of accidents, she originally wanted to go back to her room immediately after returning to the hotel and have a good sleep without caring about anything. But just as everyone opened the door and walked up the stairs, Tianlang, who had already returned, was standing at the door of the room waiting.

"You're finally back!" Tianlang strode up to the crowd. "I just got back half an hour ago and saw you weren't there. I heard from the shop owner that you left an hour ago. What happened?"

"Well, this might be a bit complicated," Kailin said awkwardly, scratching her head. "By the way, where have you been all day? I can't find you anywhere. Tell me the truth, are you hiding something from us?"

"It was me who was questioning you, wasn't it?" Tianlang looked at Kailin with disdain. The next second, he suddenly smirked. "Oh, by the way, while I was waiting here, I heard there were two robberies on the street, and both victims were women. I heard the characteristics of the robber in one case and the victim in the other case look very similar to you. Hmm, could it be a coincidence?"

After listening to Tianlang's description, Mo Yan and the others almost couldn't hold back. At this moment, the four of them were even more convinced that this kid was definitely a sinister person!

"Where did you hear all this nonsense, you guy?" Karen said angrily.

Tianlang crossed his arms and said teasingly, "It's just hearsay. So, could it be that you are the ones who committed the crime and were robbed?"

"Okay, stop being so sarcastic. Isn't it enough for me to admit it?" Kailin said with her hands on her hips, becoming even more angry. "We did this to lure out the evil spirit, but who knew something would go wrong along the way? Not only did we not see the evil spirit, we almost got detained. Now we're being teased by you. What did we do to offend anyone?"

At this time, Tianlang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and stopped pretending.

"Puff, fufu~ Is that really the case? That's really Miss Karin's style. But if he could come out so easily, the evil spirit wouldn't have been guarding for nearly 5000 years."

"Why do you say that?" Karen said dissatisfiedly.

Zixuan stood nearby and asked, "Miss Heiyao has already told us all this, and now we're worried about how to find the evil spirit."

Tianlang nodded and said in a pretentious manner, "Hmm~Is that so? Then why don't you find professionals to help?"

"Professional? Who, you?" Kailin tilted her head and looked at Tianlang questioningly.

"Of course, what else do you think I was doing outside all day?" Tianlang said with a smile.

Hearing this, the four of them were somewhat skeptical.

"so……"

Mo Yan was about to ask Tianlang when he answered directly.

"Well, it's just as you thought. I saw the evil spirit."
