Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

In the desert camp, Mo Yan and Kailin were tied back to back.

At this time, the anesthetic had worn off and Mo Yan was the first to wake up.

"Hmm... huh? Where is this..." He opened his eyes and looked around. Just as he was about to get up, he found that his hands were tied tightly behind his back.

Wait, what's going on?

He was startled, but soon calmed down.

No, thinking carefully, before I passed out, Kailin and I seemed to have been attacked by someone. At that time, I only felt something prick my neck, and then...

At this moment, he heard a noise behind him. It turned out to be Karen. She hummed in a daze and then woke up.

"Hmm...what's going on..." She slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw her hands and feet were tied, she was immediately stunned, "Hey? What's going on? Where is this place? Why am I here?"

She was flustered and confused. Mo Yan was about to comfort her, but the sound attracted the kidnappers.

The door opened gently with a soft sound, and Scarface and Shanlin walked in.

"Oh, you woke up earlier than expected." Scarface smiled, turning a butterfly dagger in his hand.

"So it was you two despicable guys who tied us up here. What on earth do you want to do?" Karen asked angrily, gritting her teeth.

Scarface chuckled, walked forward, squatted down, and said, "Don't be so angry. Don't worry, we just want to borrow your lives to negotiate terms with the guardians of Shaling."

"Conditions?" Kailin asked in surprise.

"That's right, we..."

Scarface was about to explain, but Shanlin stopped him.

"Stop talking nonsense. As long as you behave yourself, everything will be fine. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety." Shan Lin folded his hands, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

He then added, "Also, I advise you to save your energy. I know your strength, so while you were unconscious, I had your weapons and props confiscated. You are now like fish on the chopping block. There is no point in resisting."

As he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked out the door, and this action also made Mo Yan alert.

At this moment, he thought about it carefully, and then said tentatively: "Although I don't know what you are doing, you may not succeed."

Scarface smiled and said, "That's not up to you. We've all found out. You're friends of the Poison Spirit and the closest people to her. We left a note before we left. I'm sure she'll come alone to save you. Then... hehe."

He didn't say anything else, stood up and walked out of the room with Shanlin.

At this time, Kailin, who was left in the same place, was still shouting: "Don't even think about it, Sister Yang will never fall for your tricks!"

Mo Yan shook his head, then whispered, "My dear lady, please be quiet."

"Ah? But Sister Yang..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted.

"I understand that you don't want to implicate Yang, but we have only been in Shaling for a few days. Even if we have fought side by side, we can't be as close as those guys say, right?" Mo Yan said.

After hearing this, Kailin was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean? Did they receive false information?"

Mo Yan nodded. "Well, do you remember the troubles she mentioned when we first met her?"

The first time they went to see Yang, they were turned away. If it weren't for Chi Ye's help, they probably wouldn't be able to meet him now.

At that time, Yang mentioned at the tea party that he was troubled by some things. Although he did not explain it clearly, looking at what happened today, people can't help but make associations.

"Besides, when we left, Yang specifically told us to be careful, and then we encountered this incident."

"You mean, someone deliberately exaggerated the relationship between us and Sister Yang to the outside world, and then attracted these guys?" Kailin asked doubtfully.

Mo Yan nodded: "I'm afraid it was Yang who did it."

"Huh?" Kailin screamed subconsciously, then looked towards the door. After confirming that everything was alright, she carefully turned to look at Mo Yan and asked softly, "Are you saying I was used as bait? But why did Sister Yang do this?"

"It's simple. If we don't do this, how can big fish be easily caught?"

For this kind of evil person, a person's emotions are the biggest weakness, and also the easiest handle to manipulate the other party.

In his memory, the closest people to Yang were her maid Lan and You Long, whom he had met earlier. However, they were either difficult to deal with or always by Yang's side, so as a newcomer, he became the perfect choice.

"I guess all of this was arranged by Yang in advance. I just tested them and it seems they don't know the true situation between us and Yang, so they are so confident. But if they find out and think we are useless and are just bait..."

"Then our situation is dangerous?" Karen said in surprise with her eyes wide open.

"That's right, so the most important thing for us now is to find a way to delay the situation, then escape secretly and cooperate with Yang to catch them all in one fell swoop. This is the first choice." Mo Yan said.

After hearing this, Kailin smiled slightly and said, "I see. If that's the case, leave it to me."

After saying that, she began to carefully move her bound feet, gradually leaning sideways and kneeling on the ground, moving her feet behind her. Then she struggled to hook the collar of her shoes with her hands, not knowing what she was doing.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mo Yan asked in a low voice.

Kailin said with some difficulty: "Take off your shoes, otherwise how are you going to escape?"

"Huh?" Mo Yan was stunned when he heard this.

What does taking off your shoes have to do with leaving here?

Kailin desperately tried to hook the edge of her shoe with her hands, but she couldn't move the zipper on the shoe. She gritted her teeth and said, "No, hey, do me a favor, help me zip it up."

Mo Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also knew that Kailin must have her own ideas, so he turned his body and tried his best to feel Kailin's leather boots with his fingers, but he accidentally touched her ankle in the process.

"Hey, stop touching me!" Karen shouted in a low voice.

Mo Yan took great effort to help her unzip her shoes.

"Good, that's it. Give me some pressure and I'll pull my foot out now."

Mo Yan followed his instructions and groped around again with his hands behind his back. He wanted to take off his shoes along the ankles for convenience, but unexpectedly, when he was taking off the shoes, his palms accidentally slipped into the shoes and slid to the soles of Karen's feet.

The moment they touched, both of them froze. Kailin's feet were small and soft, and her delicate skin felt strange under her rough fingertips.

His palms were slightly sweaty, and he could feel the warmth of Kailin's feet. The warmth penetrated his skin, like a trace of electricity, and spread up his arms. His fingers unconsciously tightened a little, and Kailin's feet trembled slightly in his hands.
