Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

The sheets and quilt on the single bed were all torn and scattered around, with strips of cloth everywhere, all over the room.

Li Qingping immediately perked up and began to look carefully for useful clues.

He didn't hold out much hope, after all, someone had already dug deep into the ground and searched everywhere.

There is no need to look for ordinary hiding places, so what places are easy to be overlooked?

Li Qingping set his eyes on the circular porthole on the wall.

This porthole is not big, with a diameter of no more than 30 cm. It is definitely unrealistic to lean your body out, but what if you want to reach out and put something in?

Li Qingping opened the porthole and controlled the yellow sand to spread around along the porthole.

And just below the porthole, in a blind spot, Li Qingping found a waterproof bag glued to the outer plate of the ship with strong glue.

Who else can find this except me?

Li Qingping gathered sand into a sword, cut open the outer layer of the waterproof bag, wrapped the objects inside with yellow sand, and took the things out.

A mobile phone, brand Xiaomi, made in Liyue.

Li Qingping pressed the lock screen button and found that there was still power, but he didn't know the unlock password.

But when he looked at the family photo on the bright screen, Li Qingping fell silent.

A family of three, the man with a little girl on his neck and a woman in his arms, their clothes looked inexpensive; at least Li Qingping's dinner tonight could buy him several sets of clothes with some left over. Their faces were filled with bright smiles, overflowing with happiness.

The man was Chef Huang, who had a conflict with Li Qingping at the Seaview Restaurant today.

"I wish you had run away, Chef Huang. That way I could recommend some good restaurants in Liyue."

Li Qingping looked at the time, 8:10 pm.

By this calculation, he had been searching the second deck for nearly three hours.

If the diary was the only thing I gained tonight, it would be just so-so, but if this phone is included, then it would be a great harvest.

Moreover, Li Qingping sensed through the yellow sand placed at the door of the suite that someone passed by his and Ye Lan's room from time to time.

That was the person who was monitoring him, and he was about to go back.

"We can't just leave like this, otherwise it will only cause more trouble if we come to investigate tomorrow."

Li Qingping activated his power and manipulated the yellow sand in the botanical garden on the eighth deck to slowly move toward the edge and fall on every deck below.

"Surveillance is only reassuring when it's in the hands of our own people, so I can't leave it to you."

Yellow sand gathered on the ceiling of each floor, quickly determining the location of each surveillance camera, ready to go.

Li Qingping had this plan long before boarding the ship. While Ye Lan was memorizing the distribution of buildings, he took the time to memorize the locations of these surveillance cameras.

After boarding the ship, they took the time to identify the surveillance cameras that were inconsistent with the original design drawings.

That's why this scene happened.

——Crack!

The crisp sounds are uniform.

Below the eighth deck, all surveillance was destroyed, leaving only a clean cut.

Inside the control room on the twelfth floor, the surveillance officer on duty, who was chatting and laughing with his colleagues, turned around and found that nearly half of the surveillance cameras had lost contact on the screen, and he froze in place.

He was stunned for a full half minute before he reacted and hurriedly picked up the intercom in the captain's room hanging on the side.

"Oh no! Captain Honda! Something's wrong! Almost all of our surveillance below has gone offline!"

Half a minute later, the alarm sounded throughout the ship.

A series of short alarm sounds spread throughout the Zhudian Boat.

Ye Lan, who was watching an opera performance in the Grand Theater, also heard the noise. There was no change on her face, and she even looked a little confused and uneasy. In her heart, she was wondering what that boy had done that even sounded the alarm.

According to international regulations, such continuous short alarms are usually only sounded when a fire or major danger occurs on board the ship.

"Mrs. Li, the captain's office has sent a message that a serious incident has occurred on the ship and all passengers need to return to their accommodations."

As a staff member, Zhiyu was the first to inform Ye Lan as soon as he learned about the situation.

"Is everything okay? Doesn't your Pearl Boat claim to be the most luxurious cruise ship in Teyvat? First it was shaking inexplicably, and now there's the alarm. It's really scary." Ye Lan patted his chest and pretended to be a little scared.

"I've been working on board for quite a while, but this is the first time I've encountered something like this." Zhiyu squatted beside Ye Lan, feeling a little embarrassed. "Mrs. Li, let's go first! Let's take the VIP elevator directly up."

Ye Lan nodded and followed Zhi Yu out of the theater.

Outside the luxurious suite that was under surveillance, Li Qingping, wrapped in a bathrobe and with wet hair, pushed open the door of the room.

"What's going on? The alarm keeps going off! Is this ship okay?"

The exclusive waiter waiting outside the door had a smile on his face and was about to explain to Li Qingping.

Just then, the captain's ship-wide announcement came.

The content was the same as what Zhiyu told Ye Lan, but it specifically stated that there was an extremely powerful bad guy on the ship who maliciously destroyed many layers of surveillance.

"How can this person be so evil!"

"And can the security on your ship be any better? If the murderer isn't found by tomorrow, I'll definitely file a complaint against you!"

“What kind of service is this!”

The exclusive waiter next to him could only persuade Li Qingping to calm down.

If you put yourself in their perspective, it would be abnormal for Li Qingping not to lose his temper.

Just think about it, this rich man and his wife chose Zhudian Fang for their honeymoon and even paid extra to upgrade to a suite.

As a result, I was bothered by the chef while eating, and had to listen to the captain's broadcast twice in a row. This is not a pleasure at all, it is clearly torture!

"It's winter, and you're standing in the corridor dressed like this? You don't even have the Eye of God, and you're not afraid of getting sick from the cold. We're out on the sea here, and you'll be the one to suffer!"

Ye Lan rushed over and immediately showed concern when she saw Li Qingping. She pulled him into the house.

"Zhiyu, please help me deliver all my things to the master bedroom. Thank you."

Ye Lan led Li Qingping into the house and gave Zhiyu, who was carrying the shopping bags, a tip.

In the master bedroom of the suite, only Li Qingping, who was drying his hair, and Ye Lan, who was leaning on the sofa, were left.

"Tell me, classmate Li Qingping, who is always good at doing bad things, what have you discovered?"

Li Qingping opened the drawer and handed Chef Huang's cell phone over.

Ye Lan looked at the wallpaper on the phone screen and knew who the owner of the phone was.

"Did something really happen?" Ye Lan's expression immediately became serious.

This Chef Huang is from Liyue!

Based on this alone, she could send the message back directly and force the Zhudian Barge to return to Liyue Harbor for investigation.

"I'm not sure yet. I only searched the second deck, but Chef Huang's room was a mess and must have been searched. As for the origin of this phone, it's even more fascinating."

Li Qingping recounted how he discovered the Xiaomi phone in the blind spot of the porthole.

"Chef Huang must have discovered something, otherwise his residence would not have been searched." Ye Lan was certain.

"I think so too. So do you have a way to unlock this phone's password now?" Li Qingping thought for a moment. "Just like in novels, spray something to reveal fingerprints, then use the fingerprints to find the commonly used keys to determine the password range, and finally use permutations and combinations to find the correct password!"

"So you used the time you'd spend watching movies to read detective novels?" Ye Lan looked strange and took out her cell phone.

She rummaged through the suitcase again and found an instrument that Li Qingping didn't recognize.

"What is this? How did you bring it in!" Li Qingping was shocked.

Are all the people on Zhudian Boat pigs? How could they allow Ye Lan to pack her things in a suitcase and bring them on board?

"Hehe, there are still many things you don't know." Ye Lan turned on the switch to take out something, "A portable satellite base station. Use this thing to communicate with the outside world. The people on the ship can't find us."

Everything was ready. Ye Lan opened her Fetion and released the black-hearted capitalist from the blacklist.

All the operations were carried out in front of Li Qingping, and he didn't even avoid him when chatting.

When Li Qingping saw that the person Ye Lan had unblocked was Ningguang, his expression was extremely interesting.

Sister Lan, what you did was so unkind!

Boss Ningguang has contributed money and effort, and this is how you treat her?

Ye Lan glanced at Li Qingping.

How can I blame Sister Lan for this? It must be that the unscrupulous capitalists didn't give me enough money!

When Li Qingping chose to follow his heart, Ye Lan started chatting.

Ye Lan: "It's time to come, this is an emergency!"

Black-hearted capitalist: "....Speak."

Ye Lan: "This phone is your family property, right? Is there any backdoor left? The kind that can directly log into the system without entering a password."

Damn, there is this trick!

Contact the manufacturer's technical support directly!

Li Qingping never imagined that this mobile phone was made by a small company under Ningguang.

Black-hearted capitalist: "Did you bring your computer?"

Ye Lan took out the computer from the suitcase.

Ye Lan: “I brought it.”

Black-hearted capitalist: "I'm going to find the technicians, please wait."

With the assistance of the manufacturer's best technicians, Ye Lan and Li Qingping successfully bypassed the lock screen password and directly entered the internal system of Chef Huang's mobile phone.

Ye Lan: "Okay, go to bed early, we still have a lot to do here."

Black-hearted capitalist: "Well, be careful."

Li Qingping felt that Ye Lan still had some conscience and did not put Ningguang on the blacklist again.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Did you find anything else? Tell me everything."

Ye Lan asked Li Qingping while looking through Chef Huang's phone.

"Yes, this is a diary found in someone's room."

Li Qingping placed the picture he took with his mobile phone in front of Ye Lan.

Ye Lan was multitasking, flipping through her phone and looking at pictures without missing a beat.

"We've found the right target. The Abyss Potion was most likely transported to Liyue via the Zhudian Barge."

"Who is the god mentioned in this person's diary? Do you have any idea?"

Li Qingping had no answer to Ye Lan's confusion, so he could only say, "Maybe it's a demon god that survived."

Ye Lan raised her head and glanced at Li Qingping: "You've been so arrogant recently, and you're still surviving the demon god. We can't afford to provoke that kind of monster."

Ordinary demons are not that difficult to deal with and can be dealt with with some effort.

"If we really meet a strong enemy, you run first and I will cover your retreat." Li Qingping said solemnly.

Time seemed to stop at that moment, and the atmosphere in the room changed subtly.

Suddenly, Ye Lan put down her cell phone, crossed her fingers and placed them on the tip of the pen. Li Qingping couldn't tell what expression that was, but he only saw a hint of loneliness in her eyes, as if she was a poor child abandoned by her friends in the cold winter.

All her friends left, leaving her alone trapped in the vast snow, unable to find a way out. But she had no choice but to keep running, running until now.

Ye Lan opened her handbag and took out a box of women's cigarettes with wrinkled covers.

"Do you mind if I have one?"

There was no point in saying she minded, Ye Lan took out a lighter and lit it.

"Ahem! I haven't smoked in years since I got this Eye of God."

The red lips slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke mixed with the scent of mint.

Li Qingping didn't know how he got Ye Lan started talking. He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word and let Ye Lan speak.

"I didn't fight alone before, I also had a group of teammates."

"At that time, I was the youngest in the team, so they gave me the easiest tasks."

"We share the credit together, but we do the least."
