Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

"Get out of here! Hide in the corridor over there!"

Ye Lan shouted in a low voice, then suddenly burst out with powerful movement. She held the traveler with her left hand, grabbed Zhongli with her right hand, and rolled awkwardly under the desk in the adjacent corridor, using the tablecloth to cover her body.

The next moment, Sergeant Qianyan held the token and unlocked the authority circle leading to the second floor. The opponent led three small teams to surround the entire stairwell, and the tip of the white tassel spear shone with a chilling edge. .

"Every team obeys the order! The second team is in charge..."

Traveler and Paimon just squatted under the table, listening with bated breath as the noncommissioned officer of the Qianyan Army assigned search areas to several teams under his command, not daring to make a sound.

Yelan took the time to glance at Zhongli beside her.

She found that even though he was being hunted by officers and soldiers, this guest gentleman still looked magnanimous and magnanimous. Even the improved suit from Fontaine remained relatively neat, which made people feel inexplicably like a pearl covered in dust. .

No matter how you look at it, Zhong Li is more suitable to play the role of sitting in a temporary headquarters and commanding the Qianyan Army to catch thieves, or like Ning Guang, who is exquisite and mediating around the banquet hall, rather than bending down with them In this dark corner.

"Hey, Yelan..."

Also hiding under the table was the restless Paimon. She quietly moved to Ye Lan's side, raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered in the other person's ear: "We are not the real murderers, and we also found Yin Yuan Hall to rebel. Wouldn’t it be nice to explain it clearly to these soldiers about the evidence?”

"And this guy... don't underestimate her, she is the hero who saved Liyue!"

Paimon pointed at the traveler who was holding the hilt of his sword and focusing on Qianyanjun.

"You are right...but how can we ensure that there are no traitors from the Silver Plains Hall among the Qianyan Army searching here?"

Yelan shook her head cautiously and chose to hide in the darkness, more out of deep consideration of the situation.

As an intelligence officer directly under Ningguang, many of her actions will be interpreted as many of Ningguang's secret moves. Tonight, the major forces in the Golden House are intertwined, and even a person as unscrupulous as Yelan does not dare to attack her directly.

Even if conclusive evidence of the family's betrayal of Liyue is found, Ye Lan is unwilling to reveal her identity, which will cause trouble for Ning Guang. Even if the Yin Yuan Hall gets the news and takes risks, it will cause greater impact, which is not worth the loss.

So they hid under the desk and listened patiently to Qian Yanjun's search arrangements.

After these groups of Qianyan Army soldiers began to search separately as planned, Ye Lan quickly found a blind spot that was not covered by the Qianyan Army's search line, and directed Zhongli and the travelers to evacuate from under the table and escape into the warehouse next to the main hall.

"Let's split up."

Outside the warehouse, there was the sound of Qianyan Army soldiers breaking in and rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Ye Lan quickly locked the door of the warehouse, then stopped, turned around and explained to the three of them solemnly.

"It's only a matter of time before they are arrested if this continues. The Golden House Guards are rare elites except for the Strata Abyss garrison. They are very difficult to deal with. Someone must distract them."

"Tonight's action is crucial. The lives and fortunes of countless people in Liyue depend on you and me... No matter what, we must not allow this [Invitation Ceremony] to start successfully."

Ye Lan's face was more serious than ever before. Zui Ying blinked in surprise, thought for a moment, then nodded firmly, and raised the edgeless sword that symbolized the adventurer's courage and dream:

"I understand! After I break up with Paimeng, Yelan, you and Zhongli will leave first!"

"?"

Paimon and Zhongli turned their heads at the same time and looked at the volunteered traveler with confused eyes, while Ye Lan slightly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"...I know you are quite capable, but your experience in dealing with organized armed forces should not be as good as mine. And this is my job, you are just my assistants." "Take the Yuheng Token to unlock it. Lead to the authority circle on the third floor, and then return to the banquet venue first. I have some other things I want to check, so it is necessary to act alone."

The traveler was suddenly speechless, but Ye Lan calmly analyzed the current situation.

"Wait a minute, I will draw the attention of the Qianyan Army on the entire floor to the archives area in the opposite direction. Find the right moment to act. If you are really caught, you will be killed. If you entered this place by mistake, don't resist arrest. Follow up. I'll take care of it."

Yelan took a deep breath and moved her gaze to Zhongli. She was about to say something, but unexpectedly found that the other party was also looking at her at this time.

Perhaps Yelan's illusion, under the moonlight, Zhongli's eyes seemed to convey a very clear meaning:

"Do you need me to resolve this matter?"

It was strange. At that moment, Ye Lan vaguely felt that maybe she could really choose a simpler path.

If you choose to give up thinking at this time and believe in this mysterious inspiration, it seems that everything will end in the most appropriate way, and maybe you will be able to return to a safe base to rest in half an hour.

A warm and nostalgic feeling comes to mind. It is an illusion that I suddenly return to my childhood years, to the rich and sweet illusion of my mother's arms and childhood quilt.

"Dangdang!"

It wasn't until the end of the corridor not far away that a door was roughly pushed open by the investigating Qian Yanjun, making a violent noise. The cold mountain breeze blew through the corridor at night. Only then did Ye Lan realize that she was at such a critical moment. I was distracted, and cold sweat broke out on my back.

"Yelan? Are you okay?"

Paimon was the first to notice that Ye Lan was in something wrong and called out the other person's name several times. Ye Lan didn't speak, but glanced at Zhong Li with a dark and uncertain look, and shook his head reluctantly.

She had a vague hunch that if there was anyone who could solve today's chaos in a real sense, then it would most likely be this guest from the Rebirth Hall. No matter who he was or what power he represented, Whose will is being carried out.

"It seems that the leakage of the ley lines has become more serious."

Zhongli frowned slightly and showed the earth vein reader, which was already hovering at the maximum value, to the other three people.

"This kind of energy peak is difficult to be caused by natural causes. It is most likely driven by manpower. I suggest you go to the third floor as soon as possible to take a look. It is best to find the equipment room and close the main gate of the ritual and alchemy device."

"The leyline energy accumulated here can already affect the consciousness of the chosen one. Miss Ye Lan had better leave as soon as possible."

Zhongli seemed to be guiding everyone's action plan unintentionally. In his eyes, the earth energy accumulated here was about to reach the critical value that humans could bear. Ye Lan's inexplicable daze just now was obviously affected by this.

I have to say that Yinyuan Hall’s plan is quite feasible, but this unusual [Immortal Invitation Ceremony] still has many flaws. I wonder how Liyue’s family will solve it?

"...Thank you Mr. Zhongli for your concern. Let's go."

Ye Lan didn't say anything more, and got out of another small door in the storage area, then instantly slipped into the phantom and started running towards the mining equipment room downstairs of the building.

At the moment Ye Lan summoned the water element to transform, the elemental power tracking devices carried by Qianyan Army soldiers simultaneously sounded a sharp alarm, and the arrows of the devices pointed in the direction of Ye Lan's escape.

"The prisoner wants to escape back to the ground floor and block all stairways!"

Sergeant Qian Yan, who was leading the team, weighed in and temporarily gave up the search in the warehouse area, directing the soldiers to pursue the casting workshop on the ground floor.

The footsteps of soap boots on the ground gradually faded away. After a while, the sneaky figures of Traveler and Paimon slipped out of the warehouse. Zhongli followed them calmly and headed towards the banquet hall on the third floor. The stairs are forbidden to go away. (End of chapter)
