Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 90 The Calm Before the Storm

When I got back to the hotel, the door was locked.

Mo Yan went downstairs and looked around the store. It was deserted, with no one around. But since it wasn't dinner time yet, he could understand. At this moment, Kailin walked over from the counter.

"How is it?" Mo Yan asked.

Kailin shook her head and said, "The store owner said he didn't see Xuanxuan and the others come back."

"They haven't come back yet?" Mo Yan lowered his head and thought, "Could it be that they are still in the cafe?"

"It's the Blood Pool House, right? I just heard from the owner that this cafe is quite famous here." Kailin said with her hands spread out, "So should we go find them?"

Mo Yan lowered his hands, sighed, and said angrily, "Let's go. There's nothing to do here anyway. By the way, have you found out the address of the Blood Pool House?"

"Uh." Kailin said a little embarrassedly, "No."

After he finished speaking, Mo Yan folded his hands and looked at her with disdain.

"It's okay, we can ask on the way." Karen said smartly.

"That's right, let's go."

After saying that, the two of them walked out of the inn again.

On the way, Mo Yan and Kailin asked passers-by about each other.

Fortunately, I found the blood-soaked house that Zhao Heng mentioned after just three streets.

Just as they reached the door, they heard the faint sound of a melodious piano. However, the two of them didn't understand music and couldn't comment on it.

When you step into the museum, you can see many people dressed in aristocratic clothes sitting inside. Some of them are drinking tea, some are chatting, and some are dancing to the rhythm of the music.

Mo Yan walked to the open space in the middle and looked around. At this time, a housekeeper came over from the front of the stage.

"Welcome, is there anything I can help you with?" the butler said as he bowed to the two of them like a gentleman.

"Hello, we are here to look for someone." Mo Yan said.

"Looking for someone?" The butler stood up and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, two of our friends said they wanted to come here to relax, so..."

"Oh, that's right." The butler smiled knowingly. "Judging from your attire, you two should be mercenaries. Could it be that you are friends of Mr. Zhao Heng and Miss Zixuan?"

"That's right, so they are indeed here?"

"Yes, please follow me." The butler smiled slightly, then turned and walked backstage.

Mo Yan and Kailin looked at each other and followed.

After walking behind the counter, the butler opened the door and a curved staircase appeared before them.

They went upstairs and opened the door of the upstairs room. As expected, the moment they opened the door, they saw Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan.

They were sitting in the room drinking tea, leaning against the sofa with their eyes closed. From their expressions of enjoyment, it could be seen that they had forgotten everything else, otherwise they would not have had no reaction when the door was opened. It was not until Zhao Heng walked up to them that he slowly opened his eyes as if he had noticed something.

"Mo Yan? Kailin? Why are you here?" he asked as he stood up.

At this time, Zixuan, who heard the noise, also reacted suddenly.

"Okay, you're here after all." Kailin said with her hands on her hips, looking a little angry. "Ever since we broke up, you've been drinking tea and listening to music here all the time."

After hearing this, the two of them reacted and stood up at the same time.

"Don't say that, Linlin." Zixuan explained awkwardly, "Forgetting time is indeed our problem, but Mr. Dracula's piano music is also very moving."

"So you're really just relaxing, huh?" Kailin said with disdain, then subconsciously glanced at the man playing the guitar on the balcony. "Is he the Dracula you were talking about? His music is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity I don't know much about this industry."

She waved her hands and shook her head, and suddenly, the piano music stopped.

"It's alright if this young lady doesn't quite understand. This is my personal hobby after all. Even music has its pleasing and annoying sides. If you don't like it, I won't force you. However..." Dracula put down his violin and walked towards Karin with a smile. "After the ups and downs you just went through, are you feeling uneasy because of the distress you've been through?"

"Ah?" Kailin was stunned.

Dracula chuckled and waved his hand. The butler who led the way retreated out the door on his own.

"Don't be surprised. Things have been complicated and turbulent here lately. Even though I'm not Miss Xueqi's subordinate, I understand a bit of what's going on. Miss, may I ask if you've just experienced a bloody storm?"

"You know all this?" Karen was shocked again.

Dracula smiled and said, "Of course. I am a vampire, so I can smell a bit of blood. Miss, and sir, you have a strong blood aura, and judging by the smell, there is more than one kind. Am I right?"

At this moment, Kailin was completely stunned.

Dracula was right. He had indeed experienced a bloody storm in the church a few hours ago, but he never expected that the other party could guess the general idea based on just a few vague hints. He had to admire him.

When Zixuan heard Dracula say this and looked at Kailin's frozen expression, she immediately asked what had happened.

At the same time, Dracula stood aside and continued to guide the topic with a smile.

"So, Miss Kellyn, could you tell us the truth about what happened a few hours ago?"

Kailin waved her hands and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's not that I can't tell you anyway, the thing is..."

In simple terms, she explained everything that happened after she, Mo Yan, Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan separated, including how they discovered the church and the whole story before Elist appeared.

The moment the words fell, the whole room fell silent again.

"It's a surprising discovery that there is a Sanu church in Akagi," Dracula thought.

Zixuan looked at Kailin and asked, "You mean they were planning their plan when Elister…"

"That's right." Kailin nodded.

"Are you worried?" Zhao Heng asked at this time.

"Yes, Miss Xueqi said that these guys are extremists driven by profit. Now, not only are they not avoiding suspicion, but they are gathering in every corner of the city. This is really hard to understand."

"Hmph, it seems the development of this situation has exceeded the expectations of the lord here." Dracula laughed bitterly. He picked up the red wine glass on the table and walked to the window to look out. He said in confusion, "They are so blatant, are they trying to hide something?"

He smiled slightly, then sipped the red wine in his glass and drank it all.

"Ah, it seems that before this play ends, there will be a bigger storm coming."

The four of them looked at each other in confusion, only to see Dracula put the wine glass on the dressing table next to him, and then picked up the violin and started playing again.

This time, the music was like the calm before a storm, evoking a strange sense of oppression and anticipation. The melody seemed to hold a certain omen, foreshadowing the great changes to come. Every touch of the bowstring was like a streak of lightning streaking through the air, foreshadowing the arrival of a devastating thunderstorm.
