Especially for the goddess, she wasn't one to enjoy losing, and she really wanted to make sure that she hadn't disgusted the other person.

Chapter 739 The Detective's Heart

Paimon in the book was also quite disappointed, but her disappointment stemmed from something different; she was feeling indignant on behalf of Xin Hai.

That's right. Although Xin Hai won, Shen Zi played dirty during the process, so Paimon felt indignant on Xin Hai's behalf.

Paimon: "The Divine Child is too cunning. He pretended to be helpless, letting Xin Hai deal with one of his cards."

"She actually used two cards that required that condition to play! She almost turned the game around!"

The card that needs to be dealt with before it can be used is probably 'I haven't lost yet'.

The goddess was delighted. "Great! I'm happy as long as the other person is unhappy."

Next time, let Lin Qiu host a tournament to summon the Seven Saints. We don't need to worry about politics anymore. Just watch how I beat her.

Whoever loses has to dance the other's 'Taiping Kagura Dance'!

And Ying, since I beat her this time, I have to make her dance for me.

Sino, on the other hand, was rationally analyzing the tactics of both sides and nodded: I see, it's the 'two ghosts knocking on the door' tactic.

Yae no Miko is indeed skilled; she held back during the last Pokémon event.

Sino was itching to play cards, even if he lost, he would still do something like the "Taiping Kagura Dance".

However, rather than letting Seno dance, everyone would actually prefer to see Nilu dance, which would be a perfect match for her major.

Returning to the story, the book describes Paimon as very excited when she said these words; she was happy.

Their gloating expression was practically saying: "The goddess has lost, she'll definitely cry and make a scene, so pitiful!"

It's clear that Paimon has been bullied by the Divine Child quite a bit, and now she finally has a chance to say a few words.

But what puzzled everyone was why Paimon had an extra ring on his head in the illustration?

The ring on her head was still there, but why was there another one at the back of her head? This extra ring looks kind of familiar...

The next illustration reveals the answer: it turns out that the goddess is standing behind her, and the ring belongs to the goddess.

The divine child 'chuckled' and said, "Oh dear, it's so lively here. What interesting things are they all saying behind my back?"

Paimon, being a shrewd and pragmatic individual, quickly changed his tune and sided with the divine child:

"Uh... I... I didn't say anything! I said it's a pity you lost, Divine Child!"

His obsequious manner at first and then obsequious is laughable.

The divine child naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Paimon, since he intended to lose the match anyway.

However, losing is never a happy thing, so the divine child added one more thing:

"Who knows who'll win next time? How about it, Miss 'Deep Sea Turbot'? Want to play another round?"

Xin Hai replied without backing down, "If Miss 'Exquisite Fried Tofu' is interested, I'm happy to oblige."

Seeing that Xin Hai didn't have time to 'play' with him, Shen Zi got a little bored.

She immediately thought of Goro. There was still some fun in this. She decided to go and touch his furry ears. The goddess planned to go and play with Goro. Poor Goro.

Lin Qiu was still quite dissatisfied when he wrote this passage. This guy, Shenzi, wouldn't let anyone touch his own ears, but he would touch other people's. What a hypocrite!

You should know that Lin Qiu has a habit of touching heads. He couldn't touch the little fox god's ears, but he could touch the big fox fox palace's ears.

Besides touching canine ears, she also touched feline ears; Kira is still very easy to fool.

Both felt good to the touch, but Lin Qiu still preferred to grab Funina's ahoge (cowlick).

I always feel that Funina's ahoge (cowlick) is really easy to grab, it's ergonomic.

The only thing that can compare to Funina's ahoge is Aikefei's ahoge. Lin Qiu has also tried it. It feels good, but it's too long and sometimes he doesn't know which part to grab.

Moreover, Aikofi is a proud and aloof person. Unlike Fufu, she doesn't let you catch her obediently. To avoid being stabbed to death with a fork, Lin Qiu used Earth's recipes to catch her once.

Two separate topics have emerged. While one side discusses the events at Fengdan, the other side returns to the previous topic: the Card Thief, which is also the most interesting topic for everyone.

This is the 'suspense' that connects the whole story, so naturally everyone wants to know the answer.

Despite being a 'suspense story,' not many people actually put their brains into solving the case; instead, they all expected the 'detective' in the story to provide the answer.

Perhaps this is the aftereffect of reading too many stories told from the traveler's perspective; I've become like the traveler, not liking to use my brain.

However, it was actually a good thing that they didn't use their brains, because this 'suspenseful' plot was actually quite childish, since the 'culprit' himself never intended to make it too suspenseful.

Xin Hai asked, "Miss Qi Liangliang, you've been delivering goods between different countries these past few days, haven't you?"

"Among the packages you've received in the past few days, have there been multiple items sent by the same sender or destined for the same address?"

This statement prompted readers to reflect: Qi Liangliang, the goods, the sender, and the courier address—these clues share a common thread! Once this thread is untangled, the location of the culprit will be revealed!

So... what do they have in common? Hmm... let's see what Xin Hai has to say.

We can only say we've thought about it, but not completely. Everyone is still waiting for Xin Hai to give the answer.

Paimon perked up: "Could it be... that Kira is the 'Phantom Thief'?"

[Kira hurriedly denied: "Eh? You can't say that! I'm just an ordinary deliveryman. You can't wrong an innocent person, no... you can't wrong a good monster!"]

After refuting her argument, Qi Liangliang thought for a moment and realized that while the senders were not the same, the destination addresses of the goods were indeed the same, all in Xumi.

Xin Hai continued, "Are these goods all very light, perhaps only the size of an envelope at most?"

【Kira exclaimed in surprise: "Eh? You...you're one of those powerful yokai who can have precognitive dreams? I heard about it when I used to sleep on Grandma's lap..."】

Dreaming of Mizuki: This story sounds familiar.

It's worth mentioning that the 'grandmother' Kira mentioned here is not her grandmother, but a human being, just like the old woman who adopted Ichidou; this old woman keeps a cat.

Xin Hai had already pointed out all the clues, but she didn't reveal the answer. Instead, she looked at the traveler and asked Ying Mei to try to solve the mystery.

Yingmei just doesn't like to use her brain, but she's very smart. When asked a question, she finally started to think about it.

Yingmei quickly realized that the package Qi Liangliang was delivering was actually a card back, and the "phantom thief" was using "Komahaya"!

Readers are embarrassed. We were all ready to hear Xin Hai's answer, and suddenly you're using your brain? This makes us look really silly.

We agreed that no one would use their brains, so why did you suddenly start using your brain?

Now that things have come to this, readers have begun to analyze the incident and have learned that the culprit is in Xumi. But what is the culprit's purpose?

Chapter 740 Elani's Little Story

After listening to the traveler's analysis, Charlotte discovered the blind spot.

Charlotte asked, "But there are still some doubts. Miss Kira took the goods in Mondstadt first, and then we encountered the 'phantom thief.' The timing doesn't add up."

Regarding the time difference issue, Xin Hai explained that there was more than one phantom thief.

They had already received the desired 'card back' and sent it by express delivery. It's likely that they discovered something similar afterward, which is why they took action again.

Now readers know that the package contained the card back! Qi Liangliang has now become the 'best sixth man'.

Sino stroked his chin, thinking that buying card backs this way was much more convenient.

Sino is already trying to place an order; the card player's focus is always a little different from that of ordinary people.

Coincidentally, the other people were also thinking about him. He liked playing cards, loved collecting card backs, and had a certain amount of energy that allowed him to manipulate others. He was in Sumeru. How could it be so fitting?

If readers weren't convinced that Sino wouldn't commit theft, they would really have doubted him.

While I may not doubt it, it's inevitable that I would make the connection, given how well he fits the criteria.

However, what everyone is more concerned about is Xin Hai's reasoning, which is really exaggerated. She can deduce information that Qi Liangliang never mentioned.

Although the facts of the case have been largely deduced, it is still unclear who the culprit is and what their purpose is, since no one knows what secrets are hidden on the back of that card.

The secret on the back of the card is the whole truth, but Kira Ryo will never allow the package to be opened, because if she does, she will definitely be fired.

The tariff war had just ended, and her foreign trade business was finally starting to pick up; she didn't want to be kicked out at this time.

Kira's tone was firm: "I don't want to go back to Inazuma's desolate mountains and become some kind of great monster!"

Qi Liangliang means that she doesn't want to go from being a house cat to a stray cat.

However, to the audience, this is somewhat like Versailles. Isn't it just that if you can't do your job well, you can only go home and inherit the family fortune?

"Great demon" isn't a derogatory term. Take the cat demon, for example. The one who appeared earlier, Neko, is far inferior to Kira. How old is Neko? How old is Kira?

While sleeping, Qi Liangliang woke up to find that she had an extra tail and could turn into a human.

So Kira is truly a genius kitten. She became a great yokai at a young age, and in name, she is on par with yokai such as Miko, Sara, and Mizuki.

It's hard to say about Ichidou. People's impression of him is more like that of a thug than a monster, and the title of Demon King is self-proclaimed.

In short, don't be fooled by Kira's seemingly soft and easy-to-bully appearance. Her fighting strength is no joke. Even though she's not a yokai skilled in fighting, she's still much stronger than an ordinary person.

Someone who can deliver packages all over Teyvat needs to have some martial arts skills to back them up.

Moreover, there are hardly any powerful youkai left in Inazuma, so the competition is less intense. Kira is at least capable of occupying a mountain stronghold, and in Liyue, she would be considered a substitute for that woman.

Logically speaking, life as a great monster in the mountains shouldn't be too bad, but Qi Liangliang didn't like it. Unlike that woman, she preferred to socialize with people and enjoyed seeing the joy of others receiving their long-awaited packages.

Seeing that Qi Liangliang was so opposed, the others couldn't force her, so they had no choice but to resort to forbidden methods.

Traveler, quickly use your beauty to whisper sweet nothings in the general's ear and get her to inform the owner of "Komaha-ya" to voluntarily hand over the goods.

It's safe to say that doing so is absolutely possible; asking the traveler to leave such a small matter as filming is no problem at all, given the traveler's status.

The problem is, this matter doesn't seem to have reached the point where a general needs to be deployed. It's just a card thief, not something that warrants Thor's intervention.

The main problem is that Ying is a bit too straightforward. If you really tell her something, she will take it seriously and do it for you, but she always gives orders directly.

When the sycophants of the Tenryu clan arrive at the "Komaha-ya" gate, I'm afraid they'll cause a huge uproar.

Besides, I've never heard of anyone being investigated by the 'Emperor' for stealing a card back.

This isn't like playing chess with the Great Han Chess Master and stealing chess pieces, yet you're stammering and reporting him for foul play.

Even if Qi Liangliang is unwilling to open the letter, it doesn't matter. There are other ways to investigate. Just follow Qi Liangliang to Sumeru to see who the recipient is.

The delivery person and outsiders cannot open the package, but the recipient can, right?

Thus, the story arrives at its final chapter, the Sumeru chapter.

This journey is essentially a traveler retracing the steps of Shikoku, and like the nostalgic compilation, it has been well-received by readers.

The story is long, long because it recounts the traveler's experiences along the way. The journey from country to country evoked memories of the traveler's experiences, a long and complex story.

Each country and each familiar person appears in the story, touching everyone's memory.

One person stood out; despite not being a main character, he resonated deeply with everyone.

This person's name is Elani.

After Lin Qiu finished writing the main storyline of each country, there was an Easter egg: he encountered a Sumeru scholar named Elani.

In Mondstadt, she wanted to research 'The Four Winds and Mondstadt,' and originally wrote about the Four Winds' protection of Mondstadt, but the East Wind Dragon started causing trouble.

Left with no other choice, she went to Liyue, intending to write "The Emperor and Liyue". The Emperor has protected Liyue for so many years, so something must not happen to him, right?

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is going to happen: the Emperor is dead.

The emperor, who had lived for thousands of years, died in the very year she planned to write her thesis.

Finally, she managed to go to Inazuma and finally finished writing her thesis. However, when she returned to Sumeru, she discovered that someone had written the same type of thesis and published it first!

(The Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict were not lifted at the same time; she was locked up in Inazuma.)

I can't even imagine how desperate she must have felt when she looked at the paper she had already written.

Then Elani in Sumeru gave up. She hired a group of thieves to protect her, hid in a cage, and never wanted to go back to writing her thesis again.

Why hire a gang of treasure hunters to protect her? She said she'd rather be caught by the gang than go back to writing her thesis!

The scholars at the Academy couldn't be more understanding of her thoughts. We know what the Treasure Thieves want, but we really don't know what our mentor wants!

The treasure hunter she hired was named Nazan. This girl was quite good to Elani; she was even willing to go along with her antics and later followed her to Nata.
