The wind roared past, rustling the bushes as it rustled through them.
The rain is continuous, it slides across the sky and slaps on the earth.
Gunnhild Manor.
Barbara had not felt so depressed for a long, long time. After the banquet a few days ago, she returned to her room and did not leave for several days.
She was lying on the table, her dull blue eyes not knowing where to look.
Even the thirty seconds of lost time that were once customized have long been forgotten.
Barbara's messy heart was filled with sadness, melancholy, hesitation, and inexplicable grievances.
The various sounds outside the house also seemed chaotic, as if everything was a mess of twine, so messy and tangled.
At this time, Barbara is different from her usual energetic appearance. Now she purses her lips, frowns, and has a sad look on her face. Her face is pale and charming. This kind of Barbara has a touch of mature charm. .
After a sleepless night, Barbara looked at the heavy rain outside through the window. It seemed that the rain would not stop in a short time.
He opened the door with a haggard expression and prepared to leave for West Wind Church.
There were many people talking about something along the way.
"Hey, I don't know where Qin is. Now the Sidman family's offensive is getting more and more fierce!"
"No, now the Knights are actually being controlled by that guy Yora Lawrence... Tsk, it's all because of that guy Qin who insists on having her own way! It's hard for the clan elders to interfere too much now, and she disappeared at this critical time again!"
"I heard that the reformists are mostly in power. I don't think Yula can last more than a few days."
"Hey, even the Church of West Wind is standing opposite at this time. That guy Barbara is really useless at all. Fortunately, his father is still the [Cardinal of Dawn] of the church."
"Stop talking, she's here..."
Barbara pursed her lips and gritted her teeth and lowered the brim of her hat, as if she could hide herself. She lowered her head and ran quickly across the aisle as if running away.
This situation was all caused by that guy...
why why! You want to deceive me!
…
Mondstadt Midtown.
Bai Zhe had just finished exercising and taking a shower. He was dressed in formal clothes. When he passed by the laboratory, Einstein opened the door and came out.
At this time, Einstein had purple bags under his eyes and looked drowsy, as if he had stayed up all night again.
No wonder, there are a lot of interesting materials on the Teyvat Road, which is self-evident to researchers like Einstein.
Bai Zhe also gave her the energy conversion furnace obtained from the previous system. Einstein behaved like a gold-eating beast, spending nearly ten million mola in just a few days.
Einstein leaned against the wall and yawned repeatedly. He put his palms to his mouth and said, "Huh? It's almost time. Bai Zhe, do you have business to discuss today?"
Bai Zhe waved his hand and said, "Well, we have a business to discuss with the Lancadia family. But Dr. Einstein, you'd better go to rest early. Technology is important, but I'm not in a hurry."
Einstein glanced at Rosalia, who was sitting on the sofa smoking, and yawned: "Be safe when you go out, I'm going to rest first... Aha~"
Rosalia looked at Bai Zhe who was ready, put out the cigarette in his hand and stuffed it into the ashtray, got up and prepared to go out with Bai Zhe. After all, she was his personal bodyguard.
Click, the heavy wooden door just opened.
I saw a soaked blonde girl standing at the door, raindrops constantly dripping on her body, her expression was dull as if she couldn't feel the rain, and she showed a dull smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Kevin..."
Barbara's stiff smile reflected in Bai Zhe's eyes, her voice without any emotion, and her pale and bloodless face, like a flower with a candle in the wind.
At this time, Bai Zhe didn't care about anything else and anxiously shouted to Rosalia next to him: "Go over there and get a dry towel."
Rosalia also acted immediately when she heard Bai Zhe speak.
Bai Zhe put his hands on Barbara's shoulders, helping her into the house as if he was afraid that she would fall down at any time.
"What's going on? Why are you so wet all over? Come in first!"
Looking at Barbara who looked haggard, Bai Zhe felt confused and asked Rosevia again to boil hot water for Barbara to take a bath. It would be bad if she got sick and had a fever due to being exposed to the rain.
Barbara entered the room with her head covered with a white dry towel and remained silent. Bai Zhe could only tell Rosalia to cancel the negotiation with the Lancadia family. After all, the girl in front of him behaved too abnormally.
When Bai Zhe made him a cup of hot tea, Barbara said with dull eyes: "Mr. Kevin, why did you lie to me?"
Bai Zhe's hand holding the teapot shook, and the tea overflowed from the cup and flowed onto the table.
"Now, Mr. Kevin. You are the real master behind the World Snake, right? Mr. Cadison in the Sidman family is also your subordinate. I know everything you plotted... I know everything. .”
"Why, why would you do such an outrageous thing to everyone in the Knights... Is that what you want to see everyone in the Knights killing each other?"
Bai Zhe wiped the water on the table without changing his expression, and Barbara suddenly stood up with a bitter smile on her face.
"Now, Kevin, answer me...you said that my kidnapping was done by the Sidman family, but in fact it was directed and acted by you."
Faced with Barbara's verbal attack, most people would have panicked, but Bai Zhe looked at Barbara with a calm face. He stood up, took off his coat and put it on Barbara's body, holding the A towel wiped his wet blond hair.
Should he ruthlessly tear down his hypocritical mask with facts, or use lies to appease the emotionally unstable girl in front of him.
Bai Zhe knew very well how kind the girl in front of him was. She was a fool who could sacrifice everything for everyone. She always looked full of energy and was an idol who brought hope to the residents of Mondstadt.
Now that you are seeing yourself in such a posture, are you being pushed to the limit...
Bai Zhe's Adam's apple trembled as he opened his lips and said, "Well, that's right. I lied to you. World Snake is mine, Cardison is also mine, and I am the one who made the Knights become what they are now. Even your kidnapping was planned by me..."
"Even the name Kevin is fake...Bai Zhe, this is my real name."
Barbara immediately collapsed on the ground with her arms folded and her body trembling. She said with an unbelievable look: "Is even the name a lie... Are you deceiving me?"
She felt it was difficult to breathe, her vision went black, she fell backwards and passed out...
