This MC is so original

After leaving the Northland Bank, Zhongli did not immediately go to find the Thousand Winds Army, but was attracted by the large isolation magic circle that suddenly appeared in Liyue Harbor.

Although this magic circle can block the senses of others and prevent others from entering this place by mistake, it is only aimed at the owner of the Eye of God and ordinary people. For Zhongli, this magic circle that appeared in Liyue Harbor is as bright as an oil lamp at night, and it is difficult not to notice it.

However, what he didn't expect was that not long after he arrived, he saw Lu Xiu easily killing a group of senior cadres of the Fatui. His efficiency was far beyond that of the holder of the Eye of God.

And his next remarks surprised Zhongli even more.

However, Zhongli regained his composure after a brief surprise, as he noticed something was wrong.

Before the attack, Lu Xiu accurately reported that the group of people who attacked him were the Fatui. Judging from the force he used, it was obvious that the two sides were not on the same side.

But when the Fatui who was left behind said the name of the Whirlpool Demon God Osel, Lucius' attitude immediately changed.

"Could it be that Lu Xiu is a descendant of the Osel bloodline?"

This speculation was quickly denied by Zhongli. After sealing Osel, Zhongli arranged for its people to live in the coastal cities of Liyue. Many years have passed since then. If its people really wanted to resurrect Osel, they should have taken action long ago instead of waiting until now.

Moreover, Osel does not have the strength shown by Lu Xiu, let alone its offspring.

So, why did Lu Xiu go to find Osel?

Zhongli was a little confused about this question.

However, he had plenty of time to observe all this. Even if Lu Xiu really released Osel, he had the ability to seal Osel back again. The only thing that worried him was Lu Xiu, the person he couldn't see through.

"Zhongli, what are you doing hiding over there?"

Lu Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at the small yellow dot with the word Zhongli on it on the minimap. He hadn't noticed it before because there were too many red dots, but now that the red line was clear, the small yellow dot of Zhongli looked very eye-catching.

"Uh...what are you mumbling about, man?"

After the Fatui beside him bandaged himself simply, he heard Lu Xiu muttering something in a low voice, and approached cautiously to ask.

Lu Xiu waved his hand casually: "It's okay, let's go, take me to your boss."

"Huh? But..."

The Fatui were still a little hesitant. After all, the evil star who had just killed more than a dozen of his brothers without blinking an eye suddenly said that he wanted to cooperate with them. Even a three-year-old child would worry whether he wanted to go to their headquarters and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Lu Xiu saw his worry and asked with a half-smile, "Do you think you still have a choice now?"

"this..."

The Fatui looked embarrassed. His life was now in the hands of the other party. But if he took Lu Xiu back, and Lu Xiu started a killing spree in the headquarters, even if he managed to survive, the organization would not forgive him as the culprit.

Lu Xiu patted his shoulder gently and patiently asked, "Do you have insurance?"

"No... the organization didn't pay, and our profession is high-risk, so ordinary insurance companies are unwilling to provide coverage."

"That's it. Why would you risk your life if you don't have health insurance? If you die, your family won't get any money. Wouldn't that mean you died in vain?"

The Fools thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense: "But..."

"Don't give me a but."

Lu Xiu's tone suddenly turned cold, and he asked with a forced smile, "If you don't want to, then I can only stuff your head into the obsidian. It's been a long time since I played with the obsidian, so I'll try my hand at it with you..."

Although the Fatui didn't know what obsidian was, the name alone suggested it was a mineral. Coupled with Lu Xiu's cold expression, it was obvious that this was not a good experience.

"Good man, this way!"

After weighing the pros and cons, the Fatui immediately changed their hesitant expression, put on a flattering look on their faces, and bowed to point the way.

"That's pretty much it."

Lu Xiu nodded in satisfaction, put the Talisman of No Taboos back into his backpack, and left behind the Fatui.

After the Fatui diligently took Lu Xiu away, Zhongli's figure appeared from the side.

"Well, before we follow, we have to get rid of these golden leggings."

Zhongli looked down at the golden leggings on his body. No matter how he tried to hide his figure, the golden leggings were still extremely eye-catching.

As for the messy scene filled with corpses, Zhongli planned to slowly give the Thousand Winds Army a headache. Moreover, if the identities of these Fatui were to be exposed, then Winter Solstice would also have a headache, right?

--------------

In another hidden gathering place of the Fatui, Tartaglia had just sat down with a cup of hot coffee in his hand, trying to ease his irritable mood when footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by a hurried knock on the door.

"My Lord, I have brought...an honored guest."

Confused, Tartaglia put down the hot coffee in his hand, frowned, and shouted outside the door.

"Distinguished guest? Bring him in."

As the office door opened, Lu Xiu, wearing a strange armor, and the Fatui, who were covered in bandages, walked in.

Seeing these two people, Tartaglia stood up from his chair with a start and almost choked on his saliva. He was extremely glad that he didn't go to drink coffee just now.

"You call him a distinguished guest? You're the one who brought the target of the mission to us?!"

After a scolding, Tartaglia reacted quickly and condensed a double blade using water elements and rushed straight towards Lu Xiu, spinning the blades in his hands and slashing at him.

"Boom!"

Lu Xiu easily blocked Tartaglia's attack with his wooden shield, then poked his head out from behind the shield and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Tartaglia, I'm here to cooperate."

This broken wooden shield can actually block his attack?

Tartaglia was first surprised at the excellent protective ability of the wooden shield in Lu Xiu's hand, then he took two steps back and looked at Lu Xiu vigilantly.

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?"

Lu Xiu casually found a chair and sat down.

"You want the Hundred Taboos Talisman to unseal Osel, right?"

Tartaglia frowned and looked at the Fatui who was wrapped in bandages all over his body. The Fatui lowered his head in shame.

Dadalia suddenly felt a pang of distress and nodded with gritted teeth.

"That's right, so what?"

"It's very simple. I will give you the Unrestricted Talisman, and you will send me into Osel's sealing formation."

"what?"

Tartaglia was a little confused and tried to use her brain to analyze why Lu Xiu did this, but she analyzed until her brain was almost overloaded and still couldn't figure out the reason why Lu Xiu did this, so she just asked directly.

"Sir, do you hate Liyue?"

"No, I really like Liyue. The people here speak so nicely. I really enjoy being here."

"Could it be that you are a follower of Osel?"

"Of course not. I don't even know what he looks like."

Tartaglia was even more confused and rubbed the ends of her hair in annoyance.

"Then why do you want to cooperate with us?"

Lu Xiu sat up straight in his chair and said in a serious tone.

"Because I want to play an electronic cricket fight."

Chapter 58: The Damn Effect of the Golden Apple! (Chapter 3500)

"Electronic... cricket fighting?"

Tartaglia could understand the word "cricket fighting" at the end, but when the word "electronic" was added, he was a little confused.

But this did not prevent Tartaglia from understanding Lu Xiu's intentions.

"You are a real lunatic."

Tartaglia thought he was already a madman, but he didn't expect that Lucius was even crazier than him and actually wanted Osel, the demon god, to perform for him.

This kind of person is either absolutely confident in his own abilities or an absolute lunatic.

Tartaglia looked at Lu Xiu from top to bottom with a scrutinizing look. Although most of his body was hidden under the armor, there were no signs of long-term training on his exposed arms, and his palms were smooth without any trace of calluses.

In response to this, Tartaglia commented that he was a madman, an absolute madman.

Even if this kind of person is not strong, Tartaglia doesn't really want to provoke him. After all, God knows what the other party will do.

But now, they have the same goal, and Tartaglia doesn't mind cooperating with a madman temporarily.

“We can cooperate, but how can we trust each other?”

Tartaglia lowered his eyes and asked the crucial question. This was only the second time they met. The first time was at the North Country Bank, and they hadn't even exchanged a single word.

It is not easy to trust each other.

"You're right, but you can only trust me, right?"

Lu Xiu raised his hand and held the "No Taboos" Talisman between his two fingers, then waved at Tartaglia with a smile.

"Or, do you have a way to snatch it from me?"

"Sir, you seem a little overconfident in your abilities."

Tartaglia's eyes were empty, and his hands holding the handle of the chair couldn't help but clenched, leaving a mark on the sturdy wooden handle.

Tartaglia was enduring the urge to fight the man in front of him.

Lu Xiu looked at the handle with fingerprints left by Tartaglia, rolled up his sleeves, and pinched the handle with his thumb and little finger. With just a slight force, the solid wooden handle was crushed into powder.

Tartaglia's gloomy expression suddenly changed, and he clapped his hands with a bright smile.

"Young man, you are good at fighting. So let's discuss how we can cooperate?"

"It's simple. I'll provide you with the Scroll of Unfettered Prohibition, and you'll open the seal of Osel and let me in. How about that?"

Is it such a simple request?

Tartaglia had a smile on his face, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

Even though he was a reckless executive, he could think of many things that could be done.

"No problem, it's settled. But I still don't know what my partner's name will be."

"Lu Xiu."

"Okay, Mr. Lu Xiu, but we still need to make some preparations to reach the sealed place where Osel is. After all, it is located at the bottom of the deep sea, and it would be difficult for normal people to approach it."

“How long will it take to prepare?”

"one day."

Tartaglia made a rough estimate. In order to send people into Osel's sealing formation, not only did he need to avoid the sight of the Thousand Rock Army guarding the Solitary Cloud Pavilion, but he also had to solve the problem of diving into the seabed. These projects were extremely large, and even if the Fatui worked at full capacity, it would take at least a day to prepare.

When Lu Xiu heard that it would take another day to prepare, he thought about it for a while and nodded. Although he planned to let the Wither and Osier fight before picking up the spoils, he still needed to do some preparations, such as arrows, milk, recovery items and so on.

"Okay, that'll be one day. I'll come see you again at this time tomorrow."

After discussing the content of the cooperation, Lu Xiu prepared to leave. He planned to take advantage of the time he still had to see if he could get a diamond to build an enchantment table.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Lu Xiu, how can I contact you then?"

When Tartaglia saw Lu Xiu was about to leave, he quickly stopped him. Lu Xiu knew where their base was, but he didn't know where Lu Xiu would be. What if he was ready tomorrow and Lu Xiu didn't show up? Wouldn't he have been fooled?

Lu Xiu turned around, looking a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient for you where I live."

"What's inconvenient about this?" Tartaglia was a little confused.

"I'm temporarily staying at Yuheng Star Keqing's house. Is it convenient for you to come over?"

"Ah, this..." Tartaglia was full of questions. Why was Lu Xiu involved with the Seven Stars of Liyue again? Could it be that he was actually playing a trick on her?

Tartaglia couldn't help but begin to doubt whether it was right for him to cooperate with Lu Xiu.

However, things have come to this point, and Tartaglia is absolutely unwilling to give up the Scroll of No Taboos that is about to be obtained. If Lu Xiu dares to play tricks on him at that time, don't blame him for using some unconventional means.

"Okay, I've told you the address, so I'll take my leave now."

Lu Xiu waved his hand and turned to leave. Tartaglia did not stop him, but waved his hand and called one of his men over.

"Go and prepare. Find a way to lure away the Qianyan Army patrolling the waters of Guyun Pavilion by this time tomorrow. Also, prepare two sets of diving equipment."

"Yes, sir. However, my lord, the [lady] said that you should wait for her to come over to act together. Do we need to inform her of this operation?"
