Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"From your tone, it seems like you know that guy?" Mo Yan said.

"Of course, and it's not just me. In fact, you have all seen him a long time ago." Rednos replied.

"You mean..."

Before everyone finished speaking, Rednos suddenly chuckled: "Hush, instead of making random guesses here, why not let us see the mastermind with our own eyes."

……

Somewhere in the abyss, It looked around after surviving the disaster, then turned back to look at the man in black robe behind him.

"It doesn't belong to any guardian's contract. So that's how it is. You are the Nighthawk that the Demon Lord mentioned, right?" He said, suppressing his emotions.

Nighthawk smiled lightly, standing at the edge of the shadows with a hint of lazy mockery. His face was blurred under the hood, and only the arc at the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.

"Haha, what an ironic farce! You captured someone and intended to take away their power. But the result was unexpected. You were outmaneuvered. Not only did you lose your base, but you were almost completely wiped out. Doctor, your business is really losing everything."

Etter's face looked even gloomier in the dim light; he could almost hear the sound of his back teeth grinding against each other.

"Stop being so sarcastic. With your strength, if you could easily lead us away, you can also lead us to victory. But why didn't you show up when I fell into the trap? And why didn't you show up when our airship was attacked? You were clearly nearby, but you watched us suffer heavy losses and only offered a helping hand at the last moment? What on earth are you planning?"

Etter's voice trembled slightly with suppressed anger. He turned suddenly and stared at Nighthawk in the shadows.

Nighthawk let out a very light laugh. There was no emotion in that laugh, but it made people feel inexplicably cold.

"Oh, don't get me wrong. Although we all work under the Demon Lord, our division of labor is different. How your plan will proceed and even how things will develop are your own business and have nothing to do with me. The only thing the Lord asked me to do, besides monitoring the four strangers, is to save your lives at the critical moment. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me, so don't even think about asking me to contribute to your plan." He said, leaning against the wall.

"You...!" Etter was so angry he almost vomited blood. His finger trembled as he pointed at Nighthawk, but he couldn't utter a word. The other party's indifference and indifference made him feel more humiliated and powerless than any direct ridicule.

"Save your energy, Doctor. This is the order of the Demon Lord, or..." Nighthawk looked at him, his voice still calm, "Do you want to question the arrangement of the Demon Lord?"

It felt as if his throat was being strangled, and Yite swallowed back all the anger and questions in his heart. Questioning the Demon Lord? He didn't have the courage to do that.

Seeing this, Kuang Dao sneered at the side and said, "How strange! This arrogant fellow would actually have such a day."

Feng Ling shook her head and then walked up to Ye Ying.

"Anyway, thank you for your help this time." Her voice broke the tense atmosphere. She took a step forward and nodded slightly to Nighthawk.

Nighthawk's gaze shifted from It to Feng Ling. The mask under the hood obscured his expression, but the arc of his smile seemed to deepen a little.

"Miss Fengling is sensible." Nighthawk's voice still carried that lazy tone, as if the previous tense situation was just an insignificant episode. "No need to thank me, I was just following orders."

Hearing this, Yi Te folded his arms and said coldly: "Yes, you are following orders, and your order is to save us. Now your mission is completed, you can go!"

Nighthawk sneered: "It seems that the doctor is very dissatisfied with me, but don't worry, even if you drive me away, do you think you can still find the location of the Dimension Shadow Stone in your current state?"

As soon as he finished speaking, It's expression suddenly froze, and the anger in his heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, extinguished in an instant, leaving only surprise and doubt.

He looked at Nighthawk and said pretentiously, "What's it to you? Didn't you say that my plan is not your responsibility?"

Nighthawk nodded. "Yes, your plan is indeed not my responsibility, but Lord Demon has asked me to help you secretly find the whereabouts of the real Dimensional Shadow Stone. Even so, are you going to refuse?"

There was a hint of amusement in his voice, as if he was enjoying the struggling expression on Etta's face.

Yit's expression froze instantly, anger, unwillingness, suspicion and a hint of uncontrollable desire intertwined in his eyes.

The Demon Lord's order... to find the true Dimensional Shadow Stone...

The temptation was too great. He had lost his base, his troops, and was nearly defeated. If even the clue to the Dimensional Shadow Stone was completely cut off...

"Are you serious?" It's voice was dry, filled with an urgency that he himself was not aware of.

Nighthawk chuckled softly, but spoke at a deliberately tantalizing pace, "Of course, the master still values ​​your 'talent'. He knew you would definitely fall for his trick this time, so he asked me to find the whereabouts of the Dimensional Shadow Stone."

"So you have news?" It's voice rose involuntarily, and he took a step forward eagerly. The previous anger and humiliation seemed to be diluted by this possibility.

Nighthawk didn't answer immediately. He simply tilted his head slightly, the shadow of his hood swaying as if silently mocking Etta's gaffe. This brief silence made the air tense again.

"Why don't you say something?" It said impatiently.

"Heh..." Nighthawk finally chuckled, "I did find out the exact location of the Dimensional Shadow Stone, but with your strength, I'm afraid you'll be hacked to pieces before you even get there."

"Hey, who are you looking down on?" Kuang Dao suddenly spoke. Just as he was about to move forward, he was stopped by Feng Ling.

"Okay, don't get so angry so easily." She smiled, then looked at Nighthawk again and asked, "Don't worry about whether we have the ability or not. Even if we want to make a plan, you have to tell us the exact location first, so that we can do it."

Nighthawk nodded with satisfaction: "Big Sister's words are still more pleasing to the ear. Okay, then I'll tell you."

He lowered his hands. "The real Dimensional Shadow Stone is not in the Academy of Sciences at all, because it has always been an appendage of that demon, both in the past and now."

"Devil?" Feng Ling frowned.

"Yes, he is the origin of time and dimension, and also one of the Six Evil Saints..."

Before he could finish his words, Yite suddenly stepped forward and said in an impatient tone, "Stop talking nonsense. You said you found the location of the Dimensional Shadow Stone, so let me ask you, where is the real Dimensional Shadow Stone?"

Nighthawk folded his arms and sneered again: "Do you know the original prototype of the Abyss?"
