Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Tianlang's eyes paused for a moment, then he smiled and picked up the teacup: "It must be your illusion, you know, among the eight guardians, I am a half-baked one."

"Oh, illusion? Maybe, but please restrain yourself a little. After all, not everyone will have illusions like me." Deknor smiled.

"Really? But now, I'm more interested in you, Excellency," he said, putting down his teacup.

"Oh? Me?" He leaned on the table with his chin on one hand.

"Well, your aura is very similar to that of a friend of mine. She has a human appearance, but her aura is completely different from that of a human." Tianlang said softly with a barely noticeable smile.

On the other hand, Deknor didn't deny it. Instead, he chuckled a few times: "Hehe, it seems that we get along quite well."

"That's not necessarily true." Tianlang said, folding his arms. "After all, the 'smell' on you is too strong."

"Huh, really?" He picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.

And just then.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted in the distance. It shook the heavens, the ground trembled slightly, and the bamboo curtains of the teahouse rustled in the shockwave. Tianlang looked up and saw a white thunderbolt rising from the west of the city.

"Riot! Riot!"

A man was running on the street, shouting non-stop, while the people around him retreated to the sides, fearing that they would be hit.

"What's going on? What happened?" The migrant workers who were carrying wood stopped their work and asked.

The man paused and replied breathlessly, "A group of rioters appeared in the west of the city... and Lord Minghuang is suppressing them now."

"How could such a thing happen?" everyone exclaimed.

……

At the same time, in the direction of the west gate, dozens of people dressed as soldiers, holding swords and guns, stood in front of Minghuang. They had empty eyes and looked like puppets.

"Get out of here quickly, didn't you hear me?"

Minghuang's voice exploded like thunder, but the soldiers still advanced mechanically, their blades reflecting a cold light.

"This is your last warning. Back off immediately, or I'll use force!"

However, those people still did not move. They approached quickly with weapons in hand, and saw that the opponent's weapons were about to hit them.

Drink!

He roared angrily, and the light of white thunder resounded through the sky, and in the blink of an eye he repelled the thugs in front of him.

But people did not stop. Even though they were burned all over by lightning, they continued to move forward madly as if they felt no pain.

At this moment, Bai Ting passed by again and punched through the chest of one of them. In an instant, no blood flowed from his chest, only the sound of machinery squeaking.

That’s right, these so-called thugs are not human beings, but mechanical puppets controlled by some unknown force.

"Actually!" Minghuang's pupils shrank, and he suddenly pulled back his arm, then kicked one of the men's arms and broke it.

Sure enough, when the limb was broken, the broken thread was exposed inside the broken limb.

"As expected." He suddenly smiled. "Now I have nothing to worry about!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fists and released dazzling white lightning from his fists, burying all the puppets in lightning in an instant.

"Huang, how are you? Are you okay?"

The moment the battle ended, Ye Lan appeared behind him.

Minghuang shook his head, put the dagger back at his waist, and looked at the broken limbs on the ground again: "It's okay, but..."

Ye Lan hesitated for a moment, then looked at the mess in front of her. When she saw the broken limbs on the ground, sparks emitting like machinery, her expression instantly tensed.

"It's actually a cyborg?" She lowered her head and thought.

"Do you want to report to Lord Lei Zun?" Minghuang asked.

Ye Lan put down her hands and said, "I'll go. You can have the soldiers send these debris back to the military headquarters first."

"Okay." He nodded in response.

Ye Lan split out a shadow and made it quickly head towards the Chixiao Palace. After a long time, Li Xueyan came to the front of the military department with Mo Yan and four others.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the door and was about to bow, but Li Xueyan stopped her.

"grown ups……"

"No need to be so polite. Where are those thugs you mentioned?" Li Xueyan gestured with her right palm and then asked.

"It's in the military headquarters' underground warehouse." Ye Lan stepped aside to make way. "Aqing and Huang are guarding it with others."

"Okay, lead the way." Xueyan said sternly.

Ye Lan turned around and walked into the house. Under her leadership, they came to the underground storage room. At this time, more than a dozen soldiers were guarding the door, led by Keqing.

"Lady Xueyan." Keqing was about to step forward to salute, but Li Xueyan raised her hand to signal her not to do so.

Her gaze passed directly past Keqing and fell on the closed door behind her.

"Open."

"Yes."

Keqing turned around and pushed open the heavy iron door, the metal hinges making a dull creaking sound.

In the warehouse, Minghuang was squatting beside a body, with Zhongli and Guizhong standing on both sides.

When the three heard the noise, they immediately stood up and looked towards the door.

"grown ups."

"Ms. Xueyan."

"Minghuang," Zhongli greeted. Li Xueyan simply nodded and turned her gaze to the pile of wreckage behind them.

"These are what you call thugs?"

She walked over to the wreckage and picked up a severed limb to examine it closely.

Several broken wires were exposed on its broken branches, and the surface felt almost like human skin. If you didn't look closely, you could mistake it for a real person.

Minghuang stepped forward and said, "Yes, I was inspecting the engineering works and the city's security. Who knew these androids dressed as soldiers would suddenly rush out? I was surprised at the time. No ordinary person would be so bold. It wasn't until I broke one of their limbs that I realized they were created by others."

Zhongli nodded. "Yes, Guizhong and I also encountered these androids this morning when we were at the East Gate. Fortunately, we acted in time and avoided a major chaos."

"Is that so? Thank you very much, Mr. Zhongli." Li Xueyan turned around and thanked him.

Zhongli said calmly, "It's just a piece of cake."

At this moment, Karin stepped forward. She looked at the wreckage that had almost piled up like a mountain in the warehouse and couldn't help but wonder, "Strange! How could so many androids suddenly appear? Could this be the work of the Fallen Angel Troupe again?"

"It's very likely." Zhao Heng said, "They almost succeeded during the previous thunderstorm, so they definitely won't be satisfied with this."

"But the project in the city has been going on for a week. Why is he starting now?" Mo Yan asked.

"I'm not sure about this. It might be due to his naughty thinking. He gives hope first and then despair." Zhao Heng speculated.

"That makes sense." Kailin said, putting her hands on her hips.

But at this moment, Li Xueyan directly denied his guess: "No, this is not the work of the Fallen Angel Brigade."
