The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 157 Unexpected Information
What kind of monster is this!

The thin man was tense, looking at Chen Tianfeng who had eaten the evil eye but was fine. His mouth and tongue were dry, and his hands and feet were stiff. When he saw Chen Tianfeng's eyes, he immediately shuddered, decisively threw away the long knife, pointed at Hong Lianfeng, and shouted: "He ordered us to do it, we know nothing!"

"Yes! Yes! We know nothing!"

The bald man quickly agreed, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at Chen Tianfeng.

He originally thought that Chen Tianfeng was a powerful figure with divine eyes, but now it seems that the guy in front of him may not be human!
The knocking and banging disturbs people’s sweet dreams... Lord Yan, would they have awakened the evil demon sleeping underground in Mingyun Town?

The bald man was sweating profusely, staring at his toes, praying to the Rock King for protection, hoping that if the evil demon was woken up and was in a bad mood, or was hungry, it would kill or eat other people instead of killing or eating him.

"you!"

Hong Lianfeng was furious and was about to curse something when he saw Chen Tianfeng's interested gaze, and his heart immediately turned cold.

"You really don't know anything?"

"Really! I would never dare to lie to you, my Lord!"

"You don't know...then what's the point of you living?"

Chen Tianfeng waved his hand and a gray-white flame suddenly shot out, enveloping the thin man. He disappeared without a trace after only a scream.

The bald man heard the scream and looked up to meet Chen Tianfeng's gaze. His heart suddenly stopped and he almost died: "Sir..."

"What about you? You don't know anything either?"

"No no no! I know! I know!"

The bald man shook his head frantically, then nodded frantically.

"That's good to know. What about you?"

Chen Tianfeng nodded and turned his gaze to Hong Lianfeng, looking very interested: "Do you know?"

"I know! I know!"

Hong Lianfeng nodded quickly.

"Well, tell me. What are you trying to do by banging on my head for so long?"

Chen Tianfeng snapped his fingers, and a ball of transparent light with purple-black smoke hit Hong Lianfeng and merged into his body.

Hong Lianfeng was startled and didn't have time to dodge. He watched the ball of light enter his body, and his heart immediately died.

It's over, this is definitely a way for evil spirits to control people... huh?

Hong Lianfeng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at his newly grown left arm, and moved his recovered ankle.

"A little trick to save you from dying halfway through your speech."

Chen Tianfeng's expression was unfathomable, but he was actually relieved. The ball he ejected was naturally from the thin man's earth vein energy. He originally thought that it could only prolong Hong Lianfeng's existence time, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

However, the plot has changed so much that the illusion created by the projection of the earth vein is about to disappear... Chen Tianfeng glanced at the bald man without leaving a trace. If his guess is correct, in the original plot, this man and his teammates should have been tricked by Hong Lianfeng, not only did they not get the evil eye, but they also lost their lives.

But why did it end up like this? Could it be...

Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and made a silent gesture, signaling Ye Landuo, who was on guard in secret, to pay attention to the damn ghost.

Hong Lianfeng stared at his lost arm in a daze, blinked, subconsciously clenched his fist, and then put it in his mouth and bit it. The touch and the pain were real.

He was really cured.

"Your Excellency! I am willing to follow you forever! I am willing to serve you at all times and sacrifice my life for you, without hesitation!"

Hong Lianfeng pushed forward with his hands, turned over and knelt in front of Chen Tianfeng, kowtowed without hesitation, his eyes fiery.

The one in front of him was a real god! A god who could turn flesh into bones!

If he could hold on to this thigh, then in front of him, the Fatui, the Evil Eye, the Seven Stars... none of them are worth mentioning!
"Oh, it's not that easy to be my servant."

Chen Tianfeng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him: "Answer my question first, then talk about other things."

"Yes, my lord!"

Hong Lianfeng nodded vigorously, as if recalling for a few seconds, and said, "More than half a month ago, a group of Fatui suddenly found me. They asked me to follow their instructions and go to the abandoned mine in Mingyun Town. Use the device they gave me to stimulate the earth veins, so that a strange ore called magic crystal block will appear in the veins."

“We were responsible for collecting the ore, and the Fatui gave me a series of rewards including the Evil Eye.” “But I had seen magic crystal blocks before, so when the ore grew here, I knew that the Fatui had deceived me—although the ore looked very similar to a magic crystal block, it was not actually a magic crystal block.”

"I was worried, so I stopped digging and contacted the Fatui again. When they saw that they hadn't deceived me, they offered to increase the reward and guaranteed that there would be no problem in collecting these 'magic crystals'."

Hong Lianfeng grinned and said, "When the Fatui left, I quietly followed them and found their lair. I found out that they wanted these special minerals because they were planning to imitate something called [A Hundred Taboos]."

The Scroll of No Taboos... Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect to get the news about it here. It was really a good decision to accompany Ye Lan on this trip. He was about to say something when his peripheral vision suddenly saw that the ghost's soul was obviously accelerating. He guessed and noticed something in his mind, and asked quickly without hesitation.

"Where is the lair of the Fatui?"

"It's on the southeast side of Guiliyuan."

"Be more specific. Never mind. Draw it."

Chen Tianfeng took out a map and a pen and threw them to Hong Lianfeng.

"Yes, my lord."

Hong Lianfeng was confused, but he still took the map and pen, marked them in detail, and then held them in both hands and handed them respectfully to Chen Tianfeng.

"Very well, you did well."

Chen Tianfeng put away the map and saw that the ghost had completely dissipated.

At the same time, the surrounding scenes seemed to stagnate for a moment, and then trembled violently, and even cracks appeared in some places, revealing the real world behind the illusion.

"W-what's going on?!"

Hong Lianfeng was panicked and even wondered if the world was going to be destroyed.

The crack gradually widened, and this illusion formed by the projection of the earth veins by chance finally could not withstand the interference from the outside world and shattered like a soap bubble.

"W-what's going on..."

Hong Lianfeng looked at the several corpses that suddenly appeared beside him with dull eyes, and himself who was missing an arm, with a broken ankle, covered in blood and dying not far away.

He began to wonder if the world had ended.

The bald man had a dull expression on his face. He looked at himself lying on the ground, his body incomplete. He pointed with a trembling hand, and said in a panic and incredible tone: "This is... me?"

“Why are you making such a fuss? You’re fine, you’re just dead. Oh no, you’re still alive. Don’t worry, don’t be afraid, I will help you.”

This was the last sound that the Earth Vein Projection·Hong Lianfeng and the Earth Vein Projection·Bald Man heard. Then there was a flash of knife light, ending their short lives as Earth Vein Projections.

Chen Tianfeng put away the knife, walked slowly to Hong Lianfeng, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It seems that this guy is the source."

Ye Lan appeared beside him, glanced at the place where the last two earth vein projections disappeared, and said nothing.

Chen Tianfeng did the right thing. The most crucial information has been obtained. The sooner the projection of the earth veins is solved, the sooner the disordered earth veins can be solved.

Ye Lan withdrew her gaze and looked at the sleeping Hong Lianfeng.

The cycle was broken before it was formed, and now it’s about time for the source to wake up.

Under the gaze of the two men, Hong Lianfeng's eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were pure, not like those of a vicious bandit, but rather like those of a twelve or thirteen year old child.

"W-What are you going to do?! Where is this place?!"

Hong Lianfeng glanced around, looking at the stranger standing in front of him with fear and vigilance: "My family has no money, it's useless even if you kidnap me!"

Is this... amnesia?

Chen Tianfeng looked at Ye Lan in surprise, and when he saw her nod slightly, he made way.

After the interrogation, Ye Lan pondered for a moment and said affirmatively: "From what I can see so far, he has indeed lost his memory."

He actually lost his memory, and it seems that this evil bandit was once a kind and well-behaved child.

Chen Tianfeng stroked his chin, with the corners of his lips raised.

"It's really fun."
