"What's the reason for doing this? Just for fun? He's not that stupid."
Xingqiu frowned: "Unexpectedly finding an evil statue, this kind of crime is not something that just anyone can afford."
"Is it possible that those people in the Fools Group did it?"
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "Shijin will be watched by your family. Ming Lei and Wan Ye are my people. If there is any large-scale movement in Shijin, there is no reason for you and me not to know about it."
Xingqiu jumped over another trap: "So, it's probably some forces that have penetrated into Liyue?"
"Most likely, but there are too many guys who want to come to Liyue to make money these days. Unless we can get a list from the General Affairs Department and compare them one by one, we might as well take over their lairs in one fell swoop."
The end of the tunnel was in sight. Xingqiu held his sword, and Gu Sanqiu held the dragon scale shield in his hand. With his other hand, he lightly drew a few elemental runes to hide their figures.
"Go in and have a look."
Xingqiu nodded, then carefully opened the door a little, the two of them quickly entered, and then gently closed the door.
Then Xingqiu saw the bomb that Gu Sanqiu casually threw in the corner.
"You don't want to spare us, do you?"
"No, you can understand it as a means, a means of making money."
Gu Sanqiu hugged Xingqiu and said, "If this is some kind of warehouse where money is stored, if we sweep up all the money and then detonate the bomb, wouldn't it mean that there is no evidence to prove it?"
"Think about it, it's a lot of extra money. Even if you want to publish another volume of "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picked Swords" at your own expense, it won't be a problem. I also know a particularly good painter in Mondstadt. He has my reputation and a certain amount of knowledge. Remuneration, high-quality illustrations will definitely make your page more attractive."
Xingqiu's eyes lit up, and then he took a look at the bomb in the corner.
"You only put one. Is it powerful enough? I think you should put a few more. In this case, the traces will definitely be removed more cleanly."
"You really have no moral integrity at all."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "Don't worry, the bomb outside is called a powder keg, and the bomb I made is a real high-explosive bomb. Unless he builds a large fortress underground, one is enough."
There was no strange plot about "tunnel after tunnel" in this place. The two of them entered a wide space filled with people.
"Oh, casino."
Xingqiu raised his eyebrows: "The chips are so worthless, and the gambling table is so big."
"Don't stare at those places, could you please look around?"
Gu Sanqiu took the lead and looked away for a second, then looked around, and sure enough he saw the gold-plated evil god statue.
These larger evil statues are distributed in corners, on walls, and are even used as trash cans. In short, they occupy many places in this area.
"Haha, from this point of view, this evil god is quite a vegetarian. He is actually willing to treat himself as a trash can. It's very interesting."
With a smile on his face, Gu Sanqiu led Xingqiu to avoid crowded places to further observe the place.
"What a big casino, no, this should be the biggest in Liyue Port."
Xingqiu's tone was solemn: "If those secret passages are as I guessed, then there is a big problem with this thing."
"tell me the story."
Xingqiu explained: "Jihai Tower is about singing and dancing, and the place where one of the secret passages connects is the casino. So what do you think the remaining secret passages will be?"
Gu Sanqiu paused: "You mean, the places connected by the other secret passages are similar to real fireworks places, gladiatorial arenas or even places like human trafficking?"
Xingqiu nodded: "That's exactly what I thought, but something is wrong. If this is true, whether it is the flow of materials or personnel, these projects are not a small number. Why don't the people in the General Affairs Department know that such a place exists."
"Maybe it's the materials transported by the evil god through the air."
Gu Sanqiu looked up at the center. Under a large multi-faceted evil statue fountain, a man in a cloak took off his disguise and looked in the direction of Gu Sanqiu.
"We have guests."
"Oh ho, have you been discovered yet?"
Gu Sanqiu calmly removed his disguise and said, "You are a foreigner. You have built such a big industry in Liyue without making any noise. Have you paid taxes properly?"
"Pay taxes? That's just protection money from the weak to the strong. I don't need this."
The cloaked man raised his hands in the air: "Look at the grace of my god, with such power, do you think I am someone who needs to be protected!"
"Like these idiots, surrender to me, I will protect you and provide you with more extreme pleasure!"
Gu Sanqiu pressed the detonation button.
boom!
The violent explosion shook the entire casino. Ignoring the conversation between the two, the people who were still in the midst of a gambling frenzy also woke up and looked at the three people in a solemn atmosphere with panic on their faces.
"Strange, why weren't you disturbed?"
The cloaked man looked at Erqiu, who had a calm look on his face: "This power should be irresistible to mortals."
Xingqiu drew his sword with a grim smile: "Haha, then I have to thank a certain guy for that weird pig's trotters he gave me before."
"Thanks to that thing, I just felt a mosquito bite."
brush!
The sword flashed, and Xingqiu launched the attack without saying a word. The guy in front of him was probably the security captain of the casino or something like that. From that tone, he seemed to know some secrets.
Then take down this guy first, and leave the interrogation to the lunatic behind you!
The gold-plated evil god statues stretched their bodies, as if they were awakening from a deep sleep. However, they did not join the battle between Xingqiu and the cloaked man. Instead, they turned to the panicked guests!
"Well, is there such a clear-cut goal as capturing hostages? I have to say it's very interesting. It's obviously just a puppet-like body."
Gu Sanqiu spilled a stack of talismans and transformed into soldiers of the Qianyan Army to attack the Evil God Statue. However, he flashed his body and burned a dark red flame in his right hand, aiming at the evil statue of the Fountain. The head was stamped hard!
"stop!"
"Hold your head!"
Xingqiu's roar overwhelmed the cloaked man's voice. He turned the long sword in his hand and hit the cloaked man in the ribs at a tricky angle. The water element rushed up, and then he gently pulled out the long sword.
laugh--
With the "help" of the water element, the blood in the cloaked man's body surged out. In just a few seconds, he fell to the ground unable to move.
"Are you so cruel?"
Gu Sanqiu, who knocked off the evil god statue with one palm, came over, grabbed the other man's hair, lifted the cloaked man's head and took a look.
"Okay, just stay alive. Excessive blood loss is not our business."
Xingqiu looked at the evil fountain statue whose head was missing: "Is there anything different about that thing?"
"The most basic puppet mechanism seems to be the same guy, but this guy's attitude is very strange."
Gu Sanqiu kicked the cloaked man: "The problem is actually this thing. After you bled him just now, all those weird evil statues stopped moving."
"What should we do now?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled softly: "Of course I will continue to investigate. To be honest, I am very interested in this kind of guy who can make such a move in Liyue. Of course, I am also curious about how long these guys have been hiding."
"In order to prevent the bomb at Jihai Tower from exploding, Keqing has most likely called Qianyan Army to come over and investigate."
"While the opponent is in chaos, let's go for another wave~"
