Outside Inazuma City, there is a small dock in the southwest.

After temporarily clearing the black fog around Haiji Island, Ningzhe and Xinhai immediately boarded the boat and headed towards Inazuma Castle without stopping.

Their trip only took more than a day. In terms of time, even the publicity period for the second stage of the work has not passed yet... In addition, Ningzhe himself left a "stand-in" in the Eighth Floor Hall. No one can doubt himself.

As for the sea of ​​​​mind...

She only appears normal if she has abnormal actions. If she always behaves in compliance with the rules, those who supervise her will have other ideas.

Despite this, Ningzhe received a very grand welcome when he just arrived here.

It was welcome from any angle, because the ninjas who had been hiding near the small dock early in the morning were all elites belonging to the [Final Chapter]. They had cleared away any possible surveillance around them and were waiting here specifically.

Seeing this group of people, Ningzhe was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head. Their appearance did not surprise him.

Although he only left for a short time, given the current situation in Inazuma City, it would not be surprising if something went wrong.

"Master Ningzhe, Master Shenli asked us to deliver a letter to you."

After confirming that the person disembarking from the ship was the mission target, a ninja came forward and respectfully handed over a sealed letter.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Ningzhe didn't doubt him, so he directly reached out to take the letter and put it in his arms without looking at it.

"Now that your Excellency has returned to Inazuma Castle, I have to return to report on the mission. Please forgive me."

The ninja bowed slightly respectfully again, and then used his body skills to quickly leave the place. The other ninjas squatting around him also followed his steps and used their body skills to leave.

"Well..."

Looking at the direction in which these ninjas left, Ningzhe blinked his eyes and said with some emotion: "Their speed is really fast. Should I say that they are worthy of the intelligence organization trained by Ayato? Even this speed can match [ There are some black-clothed agents in the Privy Council who specialize in cultivating body skills."

"[Privy Council]..."

After hearing Ningzhe's words, Xinhai, who had remained silent since getting off the boat, glanced at him, feeling a little surprised.

Although she has never been to Liyue, as the leader of a force, she also understands the internal class structure of the [Privy Council] organization.

Black clothes, gray clothes and the only white clothes, black clothes are the lowest level.

[Final Chapter] There is no doubt that Inazuma is the most elite intelligence organization in the entire Inazuma (except for the Otsuki Sect directly under General Raiden), but in Ningzhe's eyes, it is only "catch up with some black-clothed agents who specialize in cultivating body skills" ?

The black-clothed agent is so terrifying, the gray-clothed agent above him, and...

Um...

Ningzhe seems to have mentioned when introducing himself that he is now the acting Baiyi of Liyue Port [Privy Council]. Could it be that he is also a well-trained agent...

"From all angles, there is nothing wrong with your idea..."

Ningzhe, who was standing in front of Xinhai, seemed to have guessed what Xinhai was thinking. He turned around and smiled at Xinhai, and then said: "It seems that you are very interested in these intelligence organizations... If there is a chance, After the war between the rebels and the shogunate is over, I welcome you to come to Liyue and take a look around."

"After all, it is recorded in the military manual that [when two sides are fighting, the information gap will often affect the entire situation], right?"

After saying these words, Ningzhe patted the envelope in his arms and walked towards Daozuma City.

"..."

Hearing this, Xinhai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed Ningzhe's footsteps.

It is conceivable that if all parties want to enter the game in Inazuma without spending too much money, then there are only two directions.

Either support the shogunate's crusade against the rebels, or support the rebels against the shogunate.

On the way to Haiji Island, Ningzhe told her about the agreement between the Fools and General Thunder. There is no doubt that the Fools chose to support the shogunate, so they are naturally on a different front from the resistance.

Accordingly, Ningzhe showed his support for the resistance from the beginning, and naturally stood by her side.

So next...

When the moment of "purge" planned by the Fools arrives, what choices will all the forces make?

...

Inazuma Castle, Sakurawa Hotel, in Albedo's room.

After discovering something fishy in the internal formula of the second session, Albedo returned to his room to conduct research.

He left some means when testing the three artists. To be precise, he left some alchemical creations on their bodies. The specific function was that Albedo could lock their positions through instruments.

And now, he is tracking their location through instruments.

"After leaving the formula hall, they each returned to their own rooms... The Nata man closed the doors and windows tightly, and he didn't move at all since he returned to the room..."

"The two Mondstadt people did move, but they were always within the room. They seemed to be pacing back and forth..."

While observing the movements, Abedo took notes with a pen and paper.

From the current point of view, the movements of the Nata man are very strange. After entering the room, he did not move at all, not even the necessary movements for drinking water, eating and going to the toilet...

Either he fell asleep when he returned to his room, or he discovered the alchemical creation he had set up and expelled it from his body.

"From the current point of view, the former is slightly more likely."

Abedo thought for a while and wrote this sentence on the paper.

Judging from the information he had learned and the information he had just received from the face-to-face chat, these three artists were really frightened, and it was impossible to perform that kind of expression.

It's just... everything is based on expression analysis. To really identify whether they are lying, special means are needed.

Special means...

Naturally, Albedo thought of Ningzhe.

If you doubt whether a person's mental state is normal or whether he is lying, the most direct way is to use your mental power to scan his heart.

So... Ningzhe's ability is really convenient.

It's a pity that he hasn't come back yet.

Although I guess it's probably around this time...

"Albedo, you are the one with the strongest mental fluctuations in the entire hotel. Are you doing some research?"

Just as his thoughts flashed through his mind, Ningzhe's voice came over. Abedo subconsciously looked over and saw this familiar white-haired man standing at the door.

"...I figured you'd probably come back around this time."

After seeing Ningzhe, Abedo just showed an expression that was true, and then threw an instrument in his hand towards him.

Snapped!

Ningzhe caught the instrument perfectly and then frowned.

"This thing... can lock other people's locations?"

As he spoke, Ningzhe's expression became strange: "Why are you locking someone else's position when you have nothing to do? Could it be that you want to..."

"Remember those Xumi artists who were attacked?"

Unexpectedly, Abedo directly ignored Ningzhe's expression, and just said with a serious expression: "The three people I am currently targeting are very likely to have witnessed the scene of the attack, but they seemed to be worried about something and have not let go."

"Scene?" Ningzhe was stunned for a moment, then looked at the instrument in his hand, "You mean they might have witnessed the scene and not been attacked yet?"

"That's right."

Abedo nodded, this was what he found strange.

To be able to cause such a huge mental loss, the person who takes action is either a strong local spiritual practitioner from Inazuma, or an evil ghost from Inazuma who has been practicing for thousands of years...Both of these are unlikely, because they should have no chance to talk to Sumeru.

People make enemies.

"Then let's go and have a look."

Hearing this, Ningzhe nodded and put away the instrument.

He also understood why Abedo was waiting here. It turned out that he needed his own mental power to assist...

However, this is exactly what he wants.

He also wants to know what kind of existence has such a handwriting...
