Has the plot changed?
Chiyo Rei lowered his head covertly and thought to himself that he didn't think it was caused by himself. Niwa's death happened before he traveled to Teyvat. Even if he wanted to change the plot, he didn't have the ability.
As Chiyorei ponders what went wrong, Mrs. Asano continues with the information she has gathered.
"My husband's former colleagues told me that he has been looking for Niwa." Mrs. Asano paused for half a second here, and then sighed, "Speaking of which, you should also know that person. His name is Katsuragi. After the incident, he was dismissed from his post and is now unemployed at home."
"I know him." The Qingqi who recovered from his surprise nodded.
It was Katsuragi who brought him to Tatasha in the first place, and then he could get to know Niwa and others.
However, after that series of events, Qingqi Zhe had lost contact with them. When he heard the names of those old friends again today, he would inevitably have complicated emotions.
While Qi Qi was calm, Chiyo Rei's heart was in turmoil, because in the game plot, Katsuragi should have died at this time.
But according to Mrs. Asano, he was just dismissed and was still alive and well. He was even able to investigate Niwa's disappearance.
So what happened? Chiyorei recited silently, feeling like his brain was about to explode, so much so that he doubted whether he had really traveled to Teyvat.
Wait a minute!
Chiyo Rei suddenly grasped an inspiration. If it was not just him who traveled to Teyvat, then everything would be explained. There were other people who came to Teyvat earlier than him and changed the outcome of Niwa and Katsuragi, allowing them to survive.
However, Chiyo Rei couldn't figure out how the other party saved Niwa and Katsuragi, so he decided to ask Mrs. Asano sideways, maybe he could get other useful information from her.
At this time, Chiyo Rei discovered that being a child still had advantages.
After all, what bad intentions can children have?
Chiyo Rei adjusted her expression while feeling emotional, put on an innocent look, raised her head and asked Mrs. Asano, "Who is Katsuragi?"
Sure enough, Mrs. Asano did not doubt his existence and directly explained to Chiyo Rei, "He is a samurai."
"Will a samurai be dismissed?" Chiyorei asked persistently.
"Because something big happened, someone had to take charge."
This time Mrs. Asano spoke very cryptically.
Chiyo Rei blinked. He wanted to ask about something big, but he felt that the question was too deliberate. Mrs. Asano didn't say it clearly because she was worried that he was a child and she didn't want to tell him the dark side things.
Unknowingly, Chiyo Rei understood what it means to have gains and losses. If you act as a child, you will not be suspected, but there are many questions that will be taken care of as a matter of course by those who ask.
After being slightly entangled for a while, Chiyo Rei finally gave up the question and replied with a vague understanding, "It seems to be very troublesome."
"Yeah, it's very troublesome. If the heart of the Mikage Furnace hadn't been closed suddenly...forget it, it was all in the past." Mrs. Asano stopped mid-sentence.
Whether it was her, the child, or even Qin Qi, countless people living in Tatasha lost a lot after the Mikage Furnace incident.
Mrs. Asano suddenly felt a little tired. She chatted with Qinqi about the situation before Niwa disappeared. After exchanging known information, she used the excuse that it was almost time for dinner to invite them back.
Qingqi Zhe and Chiyo Rei happened to need to digest the newly obtained information, so they did not stay longer.
The two of them did not go to the restaurant on the ship, but instead walked to the room where they lived.
Along the way, Chiyo Rei was analyzing what Mrs. Asano said about the sudden closure of the Mikage Furnace's heart. Although it was an unintentional remark, it allowed him to roughly find the method of another person who came to Teyvat and saved Niwa and Katsuragi.
That person rushed to shut down the huge boiler before the disaster caused by Mikage Furnace spread, fundamentally solving the problem.
In the original plot, this was what Qingqi was supposed to do. After he went to Narukami Island for help but failed to get help and returned to Tatasha, he was informed by the doctor under the pseudonym Escher to close the heart of the Mikage Furnace.
Chiyo Rei looked at Qingqi Zhe, took a deep breath and asked carefully, "Qingqi Zhe, do you know who closed the heart of Mikage Furnace?"
The Qinqi who was asked answered without any hesitation, "I don't know." After he returned from Narukami Island, he learned that the heart of the Mikage Furnace was closed. Although the evil that was leaked was still there, at least it was not that harmful. big.
And because of Niwa's disappearance, the entire Tatasha was in chaos, and no one noticed him at all.
At that time, Qingqi still remembered that he felt abandoned again because of Niwa's sudden disappearance, so he left the chaotic Tatasha in frustration.
Gradually falling into memories, some things become more and more clear before the eyes of the admirer.
At this time, he heard Chiyo Rei say in a low voice, "It's not you who locked it up."
The Qingqi turned his head. His attention was attracted by this sentence. He thought about it and asked, "Do you think I closed the Mikage Furnace Heart?"
Chiyo Rei, who was discovered, responded as matter-of-factly as possible, "Yes, otherwise why would that person be looking for you?"
"Are you talking about Mr. Escher?" the admirer confirmed.
Chiyo hummed.
After hesitating for a moment, Qinqi Zhe finally expressed his thoughts, "He came to me, maybe because he was afraid that Mr. Niwa would say something unfavorable to me." He didn't want to think bad things about others, but in this matter There seems to be no second answer.
"Escher is the murderer!" Chiyo Rei responded as if he suddenly realized that he finally had the chance to say this.
The curious person was stunned. The word murderer was too straightforward for him.
Seeing Qinqi's behavior, Chiyo Rei explained, "He was the one who transformed the heart of Mikage Furnace. As a result, something happened to the big furnace. Just like Mrs. Asano said, someone has to be responsible."
"Mr. Niwa has long been worried that something will go wrong after Mikage Lushin is transformed, so when something happens, he will definitely confront the person who transformed him." At this point, Chiyo Rei stopped organizing his words, "Maybe it's time for a confrontation. , an accident occurred.”
"The two fought, and Mr. Niwa was seriously injured. Escher thought he was dead, so he buried him hastily and made it look like he was missing. In fact, Mr. Niwa was not dead. He was rescued and hid on Haiqi Island. stand up……"
Chiyo Rei always felt like he was making up a story as he told it.
In fact, it was indeed like that. Chiyo Rei was not a witness to Niwa's condition and what he had experienced, and the changed original plot was not shown to him, so he could only guess randomly.
In addition, Escher is Dr. Escher, the second executive officer of the Fools. With the opponent's IQ and caution, how did Niwa escape from him?
Questions piled up in Chiyo Rei's mind, and he couldn't answer them. The words in his mouth slowly became stilted. After a few minutes, his lips moved and he found that he couldn't talk anymore.
The atmosphere became quiet, but those who admired it seemed to be waking up from a dream.
In the past, he was immersed in the sadness of being abandoned for the second time, and did not think about the strangeness of Niwa's disappearance. Now, he is gradually coming out of the sadness, and after communicating with others, he feels that something is wrong.
After listening to Chiyo Rei's rough reasoning, he vaguely felt that everything was connected.
Escher killed Niwa and later sought him out as Niwa's friend, fearing what Niwa had told him.
It was like anger at someone calling him a thief.
The curious person silently made an analogy, but he still felt that something didn't make sense.
In such a short period of time, he could not find out which puzzle piece was missing. He only knew that Niwa's disappearance was not active but passive, which meant that he was not abandoned.
As soon as this idea appeared, Qinqi didn't become relaxed, but instead felt angry.
The side effect of lacking a heart makes him realize emotions much slower than ordinary people. Many emotions that ordinary humans can experience immediately will take him a long time to feel, including anger.
Qingqi Zhe had never been angry before. Even when he was abandoned, he felt more powerless and sad.
Under this premise, Qingqi had no idea how to calm down when faced with his own anger.
"After we go to Narukami Island, we will find a way to investigate."
Chiyo Rei's voice sounded, "We have no evidence. Even if we return to Tatarsha and meet Escher, we won't be able to deal with him."
"Yes." Qingqi murmured. He really wanted to go back to Tatasha to find Escher and ask him what he had done to Niyu. But as Chiyo Rei said, going back will not help. They have no evidence to prove that Escher caused Niwa's disappearance.
Unknowingly, a pink figure appeared in front of Qin Qi Zhe's eyes.
"Rei, would you like to go somewhere with me after arriving at Narukami Island?" The Qinqi asked Chiyo Rei's opinion.
Chiyo Rei subconsciously asked, "Where?"
"Narukami Grand Shrine, the shrine maidens came to deal with the pollution by trampling the tar sand. They may have noticed something abnormal." After telling him his plan, the Qinqi was actually not very willing to meet the palace minister with fox ears.
However, now that things have happened, his feelings are not that important compared to the truth about Ta Tao Sha.
Niyu is his friend, and he must find out what happened to him.
The admirer seemed to feel the beating of his heart again.
Unlike the joy last time, this time it was driven by anger.
"No problem, you have already accompanied me to Narukami Island, and I should also accompany you to where you want to go." Chiyo Rei's answer came, which contained the unique childishness of a child.
But just like this, Qinqi felt a power from it.
Yes, he is no longer alone.
The Qi Qi's anger was calmed down, leaving behind burning embers that were still hot but would not burn him.
-
On Narukami Island, under the sacred cherry tree, a woman with pink fox ears was reading a letter.
Yae Shenzi put away the letter and sighed in distress.
There was a brief message written on the letterhead, which said that Qinqi and a child were on the boat to Narukami Island.
Ever since he came into contact with Qingqi, Yae Shenzi has been secretly ordering people to use secret methods to keep an eye on his movements.
Dolls made by gods cannot be completely left alone.
Yae Shenzi's ears twitched, and she began to guess the reason why the Stranger came this time.
Since the last time the Qinqi came here was to seek help for the Mikage Furnace matter, this time Yae Shenzi specifically reviewed the current situation inside and outside Inazuma, and made sure that except for those sneaky winter people, there was nothing major going on at the moment before going there. Think of other reasons.
Half a minute passed and she let out a long ouch.
"Mr. Palace Secretary?" The miko, who was waiting for Yae Shenzi's response, raised her head.
Yae Shenzi waved his hand, "Nothing, just get ready. This time he comes, I will persuade him to stay at Narukami Taisha Shrine."
"Stay, stay at Narukami Taisha Shrine?" The miko's eyes widened. She knew a little bit about the identity of Qinqi, so it was difficult for her not to be shocked.
Besides, Qingqi is a male-looking doll. How should we arrange his stay at Narukami Taisha Shrine? Let him be a miko?
Yae Kamiko could see what the miko was thinking. She chuckled and asked in a playful tone, "I remember that there seems to be no explicit regulation on the gender of the miko?"
Hearing Yae Shenzi's words, the miko hesitated to speak, and finally she said, "Perhaps you can ask his opinion."
"It's just a joke, don't be so nervous." Yae Shenzi put away the letter and walked towards the shrine. Since Qinqi was left behind, she definitely couldn't let him become a miko. She had to arrange a suitable position for him.
Suddenly, Yae Shenzi had an idea and thought that it would be better to let Narukami Taisha Shrine be managed by Qingqi. In that case, she would have time to open a publishing house.
You can also give the God's Heart to him.
Yae Shenzi thought about it, feeling that he had found a way to keep Qingqi behind.
