Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 488 The whereabouts of the Shadow Stone (Part 1)

"No way, they even managed to get away like this?" Karin's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and disappointment. "We put in so much effort, even Furninna was almost killed... and in the end, only a few minions are left?"

She stamped her feet in anger and looked at the messy wreckage of the airship with a look that seemed to want to burn a few more holes in the twisted metal.

Rednos lowered his arms, his expression showing no surprise, as if he had anticipated this outcome. However, there was one thing…

"Just now, although it was very brief, I vaguely felt a sudden flash of elemental power. Now it seems that this was not an illusion." He said almost calmly.

"Elemental power? Could it be that Miss Xueyan said that..." Karin's pupils suddenly dilated, and this action also attracted Rednos's attention.

"Oh, so you've had the same thing happen to you before?" he asked, turning around.

Kailin nodded. "Yes, when we were in Linglang, Miss Xueyan had a chance to capture the remnants of the enemy, but she accidentally ran into a guy named Nighthawk. Could it be that he was responsible this time?"

"This is actually true, Nighthawk, what kind of person is he?" Rednos asked again.

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"I haven't seen him. We only know that there is such a person." Mo Yan replied with his hands spread out.

After hearing this, Funina suddenly reacted.

"Wait a minute, from what you said, doesn't that mean those guys have already taken the Dimension Shadow Stone and left?" She interrupted the conversation with a hint of anxiety and worry.

Zhao Heng replied, "Don't worry about that. We were all there at the scene. Although Yite had a chance, he still missed it."

"Is that so... Then I feel relieved." Funina breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha~ So that's why you're pestering them." Rednos quipped with his arms folded.

After hearing this, Funina curled her hands and said embarrassedly, "I also don't want her evil plan to succeed...ah!"

Suddenly, she was hit on the head by Klee.

"Ouch!" Finina covered her forehead with her hands and looked at Klee who had suddenly attacked her with grievance, "Teacher Klee?"

Keli put her hands on her hips, a look of fear and feigned anger on her face. "Speaking of which, as a teacher, I have to criticize you. After being captured by those guys, you remained fearless and looked for an opportunity to contact us, and then cooperated with us from inside and outside. This kind of thing is worthy of praise, but..."

"You were too impulsive! Especially when the airship exploded just now, do you know how worried we were about you?" Keli could no longer suppress her worry.

"honestly……"

As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly, and she was obviously recalling the thrilling scene of Fernina's fall. The forced momentum she had put on could no longer be maintained, and finally turned into a choked sigh and she hugged Fernina.

"Honestly... you're okay... I'm so glad." Keli cried and couldn't stop crying.

Finina stood there in a daze. Kelly's warm embrace and choked words made her heart ache. The thrill and fear just now really surged into her heart.

She hugged Keli back, her voice becoming nasal: "I'm sorry, Teacher Keli... I made everyone worried."

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, carefully pushed Keli away, and took out a USB flash drive from behind her.

"Oh, by the way, I was captured by them this time. When I was escaping, I discovered that they had stolen and backed up the Abyss's system data. Luckily, Mr. Swarovski once taught me some relevant knowledge. Not only did I destroy the core program they stole, but I also brought back the storage device they copied the data from. Here, this is it!"

She held the USB drive in her palm, as if displaying a crucial trophy. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, "I was so anxious just now, but fortunately, the storage device is intact."

There was a moment of silence at the scene. After seeing the data hard drive in Funina's hand, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Data from the Abyss? Is your Abyss's defense network so weak?" Kailin looked at Rednos and asked.

He chuckled. "Oh, that's not surprising. The previous interference virus was spread through a system vulnerability. At that time, it used this vulnerability to block almost all of our means, indirectly leading us to decipher our own firewall. I think this data must have been copied at that time."

He took the USB drive from Funina's hand and smiled, "This is a blessing in disguise. Not only did you destroy the stolen data, you also stole the copied files back. More importantly, you also worked together inside and outside to get to the bottom of the matter. I have to say, you really have talent as an agent. What do you think? Are you interested in joining our law enforcement team? Of course, the salary is negotiable."

Funina was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand: "Ah, forget it. I'm still quite satisfied with my current life in the troupe."

"Really? That's a pity. But it doesn't matter. Whenever you change your mind, the door of the law enforcement team is always open to you." Rednos put away the USB drive with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

"Okay, Miss Finina, if there is nothing else, please leave with your troupe members first. Based on the current situation, I still have some simple finishing work to do." Rednos said as he put away the USB drive.

"Okay, then we'll say goodbye first." Just as Funina was about to speak, she was pushed aside by Klee.

"Teacher, please don't push me."

"Okay, okay, the most important thing for you now is to rest!" Klee pushed Funina's shoulder without hesitation, her tone full of unquestionable concern.

Linnie bowed to Rednos and then left the scene with everyone in the troupe.

Seeing that their figures were getting farther and farther away, Rednos sent away the other members of the law enforcement team, and then turned his attention to Mo Yan, Kailin and the other four.

"Everyone has left, it's time to talk about business." He put down his hands and said calmly.

Zhao Heng nodded: "Indeed, regarding the Dimensional Shadow Stone, although it was not taken away by Yi Te, its whereabouts are also missing."

Recalling what they had seen in the laboratory before, the dimensional shadow stone floating in the center of the device with a light purple halo was actually just a projection. Not only them, but even Rednos himself seemed to have not expected this.

"If what was sealed originally wasn't the Dimensional Shadow Stone, then where is the real Dimensional Shadow Stone? It can't be stolen by an insider, right?" Karen asked.

"Indeed, and this thief is not only highly skilled. More importantly, he is well aware of our academy's internal security system and even the core secrets of the 'Dimensional Shadow Stone' project. He can replace the real Shadow Stone with a high-precision projection without anyone noticing, and maintain it for a long time without being discovered... This is definitely not something that an outsider can easily do." Rednos took over Kailin's words, his eyes becoming sharp and deep.
