"Be on guard, the device used to block audio and video has been destroyed, we must be cautious..."

"Yes, Captain Belikov!"

"Also, it's very possible that they haven't left yet. Be careful when searching the cave entrance to avoid being caught in a weak spot."

"Understood, Captain Belikov!"

Soon, as a sound came, the members of the Fools who came after hearing the news arrived at the entrance of the cave.

It can be seen from their conversation that the commander of this team is a man named Belikov, and his military rank among the fools is still captain...

Then, he should be a debt collector or a higher-ranking cadre of fools.

Belikov...

Yin heard the name, and Ningzhe, who was hiding in the dark, nodded slightly, seeming to have some impression of it.

At this moment, a soldier from the Fools and Soldiers holding a firecracker slowly walked over with extremely cautious steps, only about two meters away from where Ningzhe and his group were hiding.

But unfortunately, under the shield of Ningzhe's mental power, even if he walked in front of Ningzhe, he could not find the three of them.

"..."

This was the first time for Ningzhe to observe the uniform of a Fool and Fire Gun soldier at such a close distance. At this time, the soldier was less than half a meter away from him.

But soon, the soldier shook his head and found nothing.

"Report! Internal security, no suspicious persons!"

After completing the inspection, the Fire Gun soldier immediately spoke loudly to the other two Fool Soldiers who were standing guard at the door.

"Well...it seems those thieves have left."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the Foolish Debt Collectors walked in unhurriedly, keeping his eyes on the only machine that stopped running.

"This machine has stopped running. The core must have been taken away by a thief who sneaked in... Interestingly, this is a machine developed by Mr. [Doctor] himself. This thief can actually steal the core in such a short time...

"

The captain's expression was a little solemn. [Doctor]'s products are famous throughout the entire continent of Teyvat, and its sophisticated structure is a nightmare for all hostile forces.

But at this moment, in the small country of Inazuma, [Doctor]'s mechanical creation was actually solved by an unknown thief?

And the trio in the dark heard the word "Doctor" very clearly, and Ningzhe immediately understood.

As he expected, with this familiar mechanical configuration and manufacturing style, he could not think of anyone other than the executive.

"But it is indeed difficult to have the core stolen... Your Excellency only gave us three cores, which correspond to three machines. Now that the core is gone, it means that one of the machines cannot operate."

Captain Belikov sighed, and then looked at the remaining two machines that were still running.

Seeing his boss so troubled, a rock staff soldier who had been following him suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.

"Sir, I remember [Doctor] said that he is studying how to mass-produce this crystal. How about we go directly..."

"Shut up! Corporal Schaffer!"

However, before the subordinate finished speaking, he was interrupted by Belikov.

"Do you think there is something wrong here, and [Doctor] doesn't know about it?"

"But my lord, isn't he still on the outskirts of Inazuma City..."

"Shut up! Even if it's not Mr. [Doctor] who comes then, other officers will come! What we need to do now is to find the thief and get the lost core back!"

Belikov had a look of hatred on his face. This subordinate's response was so slow that he didn't know where to remind him.

The arrangement of the three machines here is a relatively important part of the entire plan of the Fools. An accident happened during their patrol today, and the core was lost as soon as this accident occurred.

As far as he knows, this core was brought back from the snowy mountains of Mondstadt by Mr. [Master]!

Moreover, I heard rumors from colleagues that at that time, this young executive took a full advance team of fools to the snowy mountains to perform a mission, and he was the only one who returned in the end...

The specific situation is unknown, but what is clear is that getting this crystal back is definitely not a simple matter...

But now, the core of the derivatives produced by this crystal is lost in their hands.

"Understood, sir!"

Corporal Shaver nodded seriously, and then said: "But we don't have any clues. The thief should have left long ago. How should we find..."

"..."

When this matter was mentioned, Captain Belikov's expression became a little uncertain.

He was obviously not the one in charge of this area alone, but he happened to be assigned to patrol the area in the past two days... It turned out to be a good thing. When it was time for him to patrol, a big thing happened.

"If you want to find the thief, I have a way."

Suddenly, a voice came out. Belikov subconsciously thought it was the fire gun soldier from before who was speaking, so he turned his head and said at the same time: "Very good! Since there is a way, then..."

But what he didn't expect was that the person he saw when he turned his head was not a gun soldier, but a white-haired young man.

At this moment, the white-haired boy had a dull hair on his head, a simple smile on his face, and said hello to him.

Hi~

"alert!!!"

Belikov's reaction was not unpleasant. The moment he saw Ningzhe, he showed his weapon and notified his teammates at a very high decibel.

Even the originally calm rock staff soldier was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on the staff.

"Oh, don't be so surprised."

However, the white-haired boy just raised his hand gently, and then slowly pressed it down. As his hand slowly lowered, Belikov and Shaver's emotions gradually calmed down.

No...it's not so much that it's stable, it's better to say that the emotions of [panic] and [counterattack] in their hearts have been directly stripped away...

At the same time, Abedo and Luye Yuan Heizang also walked out of the shadows. One on the left and one on the right, they stopped beside Ningzhe.

"No matter how many times I see it, your ability is still very convenient."

Seeing the debt collector, the rock staff soldier, and the fainted fire gun soldier in front of him who had lost their will to resist, Abedo spoke with great emotion.

People with strong mental power are not particularly rare, but there are very few people who can use their mental power to the extent of Ningzhe.

"Just a little trick."

Hearing this, Ningzhe was very pretentious and humble at first, then turned his attention to Luyeyuan, and then said: "Their current state is very suitable for interrogation. As a detective, you must be very good at it, right?"

"Interrogation...I did learn a little bit when I was in Tianling's office."

Hearing this, Lu Yeyuan was also stunned, and then nodded thoughtfully.

It seems...

Ningzhe and Abedo really trust him, and they actually gave him the task of interrogation...

Well, in that case, he would do his best.
Chapter completed!
