Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Her loyalty to the Queen was beyond question; she refused to say anything except her name.

Paimon: "What?! You mysterious, wicked guys!"

In the scene, Katarina grinned mischievously, her lips, not covered by the blindfold, were painted with a light purple lipstick with a highlight, and she chuckled:

"Hehe, yeah, we're the bad guys out there!"

No, upon closer inspection, it's not the highlighter from the lipstick, but rather the color in the center of the lips has faded, revealing the original pink color of the lips. At first glance, it looks like a highlighter.

[Katarina smiled and pointed behind the Traveler, saying, "Alright, curiosity time's over...we're in trouble."]

Following the direction of her finger, there was a group of fungus beasts.

After dealing with the fungus, Katarina said, "Thank you... Anyway, I'm glad you didn't stab me in the back."

The traveler frowned. "That's what I should be saying."

So far, Yingmei's impression of the Fools is not very good, or rather, the readers who have followed Yingmei through the story also do not have a good impression of the Fools.

In the stories of these three countries so far, apart from the fat iceman who was digging for raspberries, everyone else is just there to cause trouble.

It's estimated that the reputation of the Fools won't improve until they reach Fontaine and Nata.

Back to the story, Katarina chuckled and covered her mouth with her hand.

Only then did I notice that her gloves were only half-length; the black gloves only covered her fingers and part of her palm, leaving the other half of her fair hand exposed.

[Katarina: "Pfft... I don't know what your prejudice is against the Fatui, but striking up a conversation here is anything but romantic... Let's talk at my hideout."]

Upon seeing this, besides Katarina's cuteness, some astute readers also realized one thing: the lag in information.

How could even its own members not know what the Fools have done? What happened to Katarina?

With these questions in mind, the traveler continued to observe until he arrived at Katalina's camp.

It's called a campsite, but there's really nothing here except for a small bed.

Katarina was quite happy, her hands clasped together, her hooded ears twitching. "You two really came. Please find a place to rest."

She was genuinely happy because she hadn't known how long she had been alone and needed social interaction.

But where can we find a place to rest? Where? There's only your straw mat here.

Katarina rummaged through the food and pulled out a can of black tea. "I have some... black tea here, but I'm out... sugar too..."

Finally, she took out a bottle of milk, which glowed with a purple light and looked as if it had been made by Ying herself.

"The milk... ugh—it's gone sour."

"But there's plenty of kerosene, some hard biscuits for tea, and some sour jam... Hmm, enough for a tea party."

Readers can see that Katarina really wants to chat with the traveler and Paimon, and she is already doing her best to entertain the traveler.

This also shows that she was really short of food; this was all she could offer, but it was enough to entertain the Mondstadt people.

It's truly remarkable that she could maintain such a cheerful attitude when she was alone and lacking food in this dangerous place.

Chapter 360 A Rare Positive Image for the Fools

But the traveler wasn't buying it. She wasn't there for a tea party; she wanted to know the purpose of the Fools' presence and ask them.

[Katarina: "Sharing food and information at just the right time can shut up any inquiries."]

"...That's what our manual says."

The traveler was puzzled: he had seen the food, but what about the information?

Katarina, hands on her hips, flashed a slightly proud smile. "To repay your life-saving grace, I even revealed the contents of a confidential training manual! Hmph, how's that for sincerity?"

It turns out that what she just said was intelligence, the content of the Fatui's training manual.

Okay, she was joking, but she actually revealed some information.

"All our actions, regardless of their purpose, are merely preparations for the final battle."

"What we will ultimately face is a common enemy and an inescapable long night... The people of Winter's End have all accepted this warning."

The Fontaines' eyes lit up. "We know this well! It's a prophecy, isn't it? Hahaha, nothing's happened after all this time, how could it be true?"

Some in Nata frowned. A common enemy, an inescapable night... This was truly...

Since the Wind God and the Rock God are cooperating so well with the Fatui, could it be that they know something?

But Barzeb was their contemporary, so how come she seems to know nothing about it? Is she pretending? Is this girl really that cunning?!

The traveler continued chatting with Katarina and gleaned another piece of information: the Fatui's supply lines had been cut off for a long time, just as the readers had guessed.

However, Katarina herself in the story was very unhappy because she realized she had been tricked into revealing information.

She's a professional fool! How could she have been tricked into revealing information by this little traveler?

Of course, there was another reason: her old injury was starting to hurt, and she didn't want the travelers to see her in a bad state.

Katarina pouted, her face flushed, "The tea party is over! I need to rest now, sorry!"

She marked the word "sorry" with a black dot next to it, clearly emphasizing it.

A reader commented: "She's furious, hehe, so cute."

Katarina gestured with her small hand, "Get out of here!"

She immediately turned her head away, crossed her arms, and pouted as if letting out a silent hum, "Didn't you all dislike my kerosene?"

Based on this scene, it can only be said that the Fools' public image is entirely due to Lin Qiu.

The images of Rosalyn, Peruvieri, and Katarina, these Fools, were all drawn by Lin Qiuhua.

Even the "clown" is very satisfied with his collaboration with Lin Qiu; things are completely different after working together! And it has to be paid content!

The traveler in the comic was also obedient; upon hearing Katarina's words, he turned to leave.

Now it was Katarina's turn to panic. In the next picture, Yingmei was in front and Katarina was behind. Because things appear larger in the foreground and smaller in the background, Yingmei only had her upper body visible, but Katarina's entire body was in the picture.

In the video, Katarina makes some slightly awkward movements before speaking:

"Traveler, please wait a moment..."

"Um...it's nothing, it's just...if it were you..."

"Please come see me another day...if it's convenient for you."

The girl in the painting wears an eye patch, but it can't hide her blushing face. Her fingers are intertwined and rubbing together, and her expression and movements are full of cuteness! An overwhelming sense of cuteness!

The journey didn't end there, because the travelers returned the next day.

Katarina happily clasped her hands together and smiled, saying, "You've come! Please make yourselves at home."

She chatted with the traveler and casually asked him for a favor: if he had any information about her brother, he should definitely tell her.

Her brother got separated from the Fools' squad during their retreat.

Katarina returned to find her brother, but she got separated from her unit and ended up here alone.

But she has no regrets, because she is a child of the Hearth House, a house where only orphans live, and they are each other's closest family! So, she must find her brother.

The traveler was also surprised that Katarina's request was so 'simple.' The traveler said, 'I thought you wanted me to sabotage the Thousand Rock Army's operations.'

Katarina was puzzled by the Traveler's statement. "Aren't we allies with Liyue?" she wondered. Then she realized why the supply lines had been cut off; they had fallen out.

However, she doesn't care about that right now; she just wants to know where her brother is.

The traveler agreed and went to the place where Katharina had said her brother had gone missing.

A quick search here revealed fragments of Kolya Nikolai's logbook.

The log mentions that they came here to deal with a catastrophe that their ancestors fought against five hundred years ago, but the catastrophe within the rock layer was just a minor disturbance.

Even if it was just a minor skirmish, their squad was struggling to keep up and needed to retreat and retake their position to fight the enemy.

But these monsters have already set their sights on them, watching their every move. If they want to escape, someone needs to lure the monsters away from the team.

"...Wish me luck, who else but me!"

This is the last sentence in the logbook. It seems that Nikolai left after tearing out this page.

He didn't get separated from the team; he volunteered to act as bait, creating an opportunity for the team to escape.

Then, go to the place where Nikolai lured the enemy; there is another logbook there.

He successfully lured the monster over, but he was also trapped when a swordsman dressed entirely in black smashed the metal fence protecting him.

The last sentence in the log was: "...I'm sorry, Katya."

Katya is her older sister, Katharina.

As readers might have guessed, the black-armored swordsman appeared as a background character in the previous story of Abyss Palace; he was a monster clad in black armor.

Although the readers were somewhat moved, their emotions remained relatively stable, since they were not familiar with Nikolai.

The traveler planned to tell the news to Katharina, who was close to Nikolai.

[Katarina waves: "You're back. I still have some fire and water to share."]

"Haha... I didn't ask you guys to drink with me. If you're injured, kerosene can be used to clean your wounds."

Mondstadt residents: What a waste! You can just smear some saliva on a wound as disinfection, but you have to drink kerosene to get rid of it!

The traveler informed Katharina of Nikolai's news: only notes and insignia had been found, not the body.

The traveler comforted her, saying that Nikolai might still be alive.

Katarina shook her head, however, believing that Nikolai would not desert.

He must be dead... Well, don't be a deserter, Nikolai.

Chapter 361 The Fools' Paid Content

Katarina turned her back to the traveler, hiding her expression. "Kolya, please don't bring shame upon Her Majesty the Empress, don't bring shame upon me..."

The mission was considered complete. As a reward, Katarina said she could take anything, whether it was Mora or supplies, as she no longer needed them.

To her, only Nikolai's letter was precious; everything else could be taken away.

Katarina smiled, her voice finally tinged with weariness: "I need to rest now... Do you want to sleep for a while too?"

There's only one straw mat here, so if the traveler wants to sleep for a while, they'll have to sleep with Katharina.

The traveler didn't do that; she simply chatted with Katarina for a couple more minutes before leaving.

During their conversation, they mentioned a name—Lyudashka, her sister at the Hearth House.

[Katarina, head bowed, said: "...I hope she doesn't remember me."]

If she is still alive, whether she is on a mission or has found a new life, I hope she will never think of me or her past again.

The traveler left, but the story was not over. The next day, the traveler went to find Katharina again, this time simply because he missed her.

However, the traveler did not find Katarina, only a monster dressed in black armor, beside which a letter had fallen.

The letter was written by Nikolai to Katarina, and Katarina would always carry it with her. Its presence here means... Katarina is very likely dead!

She, like her brother, died at the hands of this black armor.

Readers were so angry they wanted to jump into the book and beat up the black snake knight!

That lovely girl is gone forever. Yingmei leaves dejectedly, but on the way she encounters the Ninth Company, who are Katarina's companions.
