The original god, the zero-seat executive of the Fools

"That's it~" Knox turned his head and faced her face to face. At this moment, the distance between the two of them was extremely close, and they could almost hear their breathing. Linghua subconsciously avoided looking away, and the pink clouds on her face disappeared after she lay down. Never left again.

"How about I sing a song for you, do you want to hear it?"

"Song?" Linghua was stunned again. Apparently, she never expected that Knox would have such an elegant mood. There was a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes. She smiled softly: "Of course, Mr. Knox's voice Ethereal and magnetic, the singing will definitely be beautiful.”

"Haha——" Knox laughed twice, cast his gaze towards the bright moon in the dreamy night, and began to hum softly:

"When I was a child, I stole someone's light by cutting through the wall. I spent ten years without combing my hair and lived in a cold window."

"Now I am leisurely reading under the lamp, and the red sleeves add fragrance. Half a lifetime of fame is just a lie."

"In March, the clouds are smoky and warblers are flying, and the grass is growing. I see my hometown in the flying catkins..."

……

"The lovers on the bridge are in pairs, and the red medicine beside the bridge sighs that the night is too long..."

"The moon is shaking, and people are hesitant. A song of mourning comes from the wupeng..."

……

"The moonlight shines on the pear blossoms and the rain cools in Luzhou, who are you by your side now..."

"The moonlight of my hometown is deeply engraved in my heart, but I can't shed the tears of the past..."

The notes flowed on the fairy-tale sea tonight. When the singing disappeared and the ship returned to silence, Knox turned his head and showed a clear smile: "Does it sound good?"

Linghua looked at him with a dull expression, but her glass-like eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky at this moment: "It sounds so nice..."

"Thank you~"

"Are you... homesick? Do you want to go back to the Winter Kingdom?"

"The Kingdom of Winter is not my hometown." Knox stretched out his hand towards the moon above his head and whispered softly: "I have forgotten where my hometown is. As for home... haha, it is probably gone long ago. "

"...I feel...very sad." Kamisato Ayaka lowered her eyes, inexplicably feeling that something was blocking her heart: "If you don't dislike it..."

"I will stay with you more in the future."

"...Then you didn't refuse the invitation to stay with me on the boat for one night." Knox muttered, seemingly full of resentment.

Ayaka couldn't help but fell into silence. It wasn't until the boat was about to arrive at the shore that she seemed to finally make a choice: "If Mr. Knox really wants it so... I can..."

"Forget it -" Knox sat up and waved his hand, chuckling: "Your Thomas will be worried, and don't you still have guests to entertain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted the bottom of the boat, and his figure jumped into the air and stepped onto the shore.

"Remember to rest early when you get back, bye~" Knox said goodbye with a smile to Linghua, who also came ashore, and left without looking back.

Looking at his leaving figure, Linghua stretched out her hands, feeling suddenly worried about gains and losses.

It was obviously the first time for Miss Kamisato to encounter the hard-to-get method, and she had no resistance at all...

......

On the way back, Knox hummed happily all the way. Even if a few stray warriors appeared to block the way, he would kill them all with flying daggers and quick steps.

But when he entered the Winter Embassy, ​​his joyful mood suddenly disappeared, because a woman with a noble temperament appeared in front of him.

"Hey, our [Decedent] is back. Did you enjoy your date today?"

"Ah, isn't this Rosalind? She's a rare visitor. I've been coming to Daozi for a while. Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me today? Or is it just a chance encounter to say hello?"

"Haha, I just want to ask, have you had enough fun? Isn't it funny that you pretend to be sentimental and disgusting even though you are obviously a person with so little emotion? You really don't care about Ina Wife at all. Work.”

Knox spread his hands and said casually, "Yeah~ I know you got the hearts of Barbatos and Morax. It's very powerful and worthy of praise - but..." Knox's expression suddenly turned cold, Lan Hong The haloed eyes stared indifferently at [Ms.]'s eyes, and boundless murderous intent bloomed: "But this is not the reason for you to point fingers at me. If there is another time, I will kill you, and the Queen will not be able to stop you. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he passed by Rosalin who was stiff and even trembling. It wasn't until his figure disappeared into the corridor that Rosalin was shocked to realize that her back was soaked with cold sweat. She stared, recalling the scene where those eyes had just stared at her. , she seemed to see her own body in the reflection of those eyes...

"That guy..." Rosalin gritted her teeth, anger almost overflowing her brain.

Chapter 9 On the screen of rice wife

A long time has passed since the reunion with her brother, and even her location has changed from Liyue to Daoji, but Ying is still immersed in the news brought by her brother and cannot get out of the shadow.

There was nothing else, except that the spirit had died. Until now, she had no way to accept it. Perhaps only by finding the original spirit could she know the truth.

So after arriving at Inazuma, in order to meet Inazuma's god, General Raiden, Ying, accompanied by Paimon, relied on Beidou's relationship to meet a man named Toma, and through Toma's connections, he met the white egret princess Jinri. Linghua finally wanted to use the White Heron Princess to help introduce General Thunder to herself.

However, although Princess Egret promised that she could introduce General Thunder and Lightning, she also had a precondition - to help her fulfill three small wishes. Although she wanted to find the god, find her brother, and seek the truth about the spirit, she On the way to fulfill Ayaka's wish, she witnessed the plight of people who were poisoned by the Eye Hunter Order, and the kindness in her nature made her reluctantly accept Ayaka's invitation to fight against the Eye Hunter Order...

In this way, Ying and Paimon, who were on the same side, were taken by Ayaka to the [Mokurak Tea Room] where only the relevant personnel of the society could enter and exit freely - even Knox, who already had a very good relationship with Ayaka. Haven't come in yet.

"Huh... you can talk freely here. Do you have any questions to ask, Ying?" In the waiting room of the tea room, there were only three people, Linghua, Ying, and Paimon.

After hearing this, Ying asked without hesitation: "General Thunder and Lightning, what kind of god is he?"

She was very concerned about whether this general of thunder and lightning was the god who blocked her, Ling and her brother in Teyvat.

Linghua thought for a moment and said: "Sir General, she... Although I have seen Lord General very few times, mostly at various sacrificial ceremonies, in my memory, in addition to the majesty, nobility and unparalleled coercion, the most impressive thing is What impressed me deeply was that... her emotions seemed to be very weak, and she was perhaps more of a ruthless [executor] than a [ruler], practicing the only goal of [eternity] in various forms."

This answer made Ying couldn't help but feel a sudden change in her heart. After listening to the description and combining it with some of the information she knew, this general of thunder and lightning really matched the characteristics of the original god...

Suppressing the throbbing in her heart, Ying thought for a while, and under Paimon's surprised gaze, she asked this question: "Ayahua, do you know about... the Demon God of Night, Nenox?"

"Ah?" Linghua, who thought she would ask something about the Eye Hunting Order, was a little confused. She frowned slightly: "The Demon of the Night... Ni Knox?"

The name is very familiar, there is only one word difference with Mr. Knox, but I know that the two are not connected. After all, one is the devil and the other is the executive of the Fools...

Thinking about it, Linghua shook her head and apologized: "Sorry, I don't know about the Night Demon..."

"Is that so..." Ying lowered her eyes in disappointment.

"Traveler, why are you asking Ayaka about the Demon God of Night?" Paimon still couldn't hold back his strong curiosity after all.

"Well...it's nothing. I just have some doubts about whether the Night Demon...is a spirit..."

"Eh-!?" Paimon's eyes widened: "How is that possible? Wasn't the Demon of the Night killed by a man named Tianli 500 years ago..."

Halfway through her words, Paimon's words suddenly got stuck. She carefully recalled what Ying's brother had said before - she couldn't help but slowly opened her mouth: "The time and the characters are completely consistent! No way..."

"Sorry, I don't understand... What is the law of heaven? Ling is..." Linghua blinked and asked in confusion.

Ying was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "Nothing, let's talk about the Eye Hunting Order. Isn't there anyone else who resists the Eye Hunting Order?"

......

"Hey, it seems that Liyue was quite lively some time ago. If I had known, I would have turned around and gone to Liyue..." Knox looked through the mission log sent by his subordinates from Liyue and said with regret. .

"Well... Dadalia was defeated? This is normal, but - what happened to the traveler who defeated him?"

"The Demon God of Whirlpool is really useless."

"Morax is easy to talk to. This is the spirit of the contract."

"..." Columbia was silent for a long time, but couldn't help but said: "Aren't you going to find the young lady today?"

"Hey, you know, play hard to get, you have to be relaxed when dealing with others~" Knox said with a smile: "Besides, I also have to do some serious things occasionally, and there are already people who have opinions about not doing my job every day. "

"Then why are you in my room? I come here every day but I don't see any relaxation."

"Oh~ don't you know? I thought you knew~"

"..."

"Of course it's because I like you - the fragrance on your body~"

"..."

"By the way, when Inazuma's affairs are over, you should accompany me to Sumeru! I haven't been back for a long time. I wonder if the little Lucky Grass King has grown up a little. Well - speaking of, is the doctor planning something there? Ah, there seems to be something wrong with that guy's brain, but don't hurt the little grass king, otherwise I will be very troubled..."

"..."

"Suddenly I remembered that I have been here in Inazuma for so long and I haven't seen General Raiden yet. I heard that General Raiden will appear in the Eye Hunting Ceremony for a God's Eye a few days ago. Do you want to go and join in the fun? Let's see. Who is more beautiful, that Thunderbolt General or our Queen?"

"..."

......

After learning about the resistance to the Eye Hunting Order from Ayaka, Ying immediately set out to rescue a man named Zhengsheng under Linghua's entrustment. The person targeted by the hunting order.

In Hanamizaka, after getting acquainted with Yonomiya, who was a pyrotechnics craftsman on the surface and was also secretly helping to resist the Eye Hunting Order, Ying and Paimon broke into the prison of Tian Ling Shu with Xiao Gong, because the soldiers of Tian Ling were against Masakatsu. The master was lynched, and Kujo Sora, the high-ranking official of Tianling, was unexpectedly a good person, and allowed Ying and his team to take Master Masakatsu away for treatment. Therefore, the trip was a near miss, and Master Masakatsu was successfully killed. Rescued...

"I see, Kujo Sora didn't take action against you. It seems that she is not completely unreasonable. I wonder if I can get in touch with her and get more information from her." After hearing Ying's explanation of what happened, Thomas said while thinking.

"I think it's very difficult. Kujo Sora is the executor of the Eye Hunting Order. She only obeys the orders of General Raiden." Ayaka denied Toma's idea: "For her, Master Masakatsu is not a direct threat to the Eye." Hunting order, so she is willing to let Master Zhengsheng go, but if our identities are exposed, she will not be polite to us."

"Hey... that's right. Speaking of which, Miss, if you are willing to use Knox to obtain information, maybe our actions can be easier..." Thomas said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Ayaka couldn't help frowning: "Mr. Knox and I only have a private friendship. Due to our different positions, this friendship cannot involve political affairs, just like he has never used me to inquire about the intelligence of the society."

"Miss……"

"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. Who is this Knox you are talking about? It sounds like someone who can help us?" Paimon gave full play to his job as a curious baby and a talkative little boy. .

"Knox... there is only one word difference between Knox and Nenox..." Yingya couldn't help but interjected.

"Harm... a guy who pesters the young lady all day long, an executive of fools. I always feel that he has an agenda..." Thomas explained casually.

"Mr. Knox is not that kind of person." Ayaka immediately defended.

"The executive of fools!" Paimeng exclaimed, and then looked at Linghua: "Does Linghua actually have executive friends? He seems to trust him very much?!"

"When we were in Liyue, we had an executive friend who was very friendly and provided us with a lot of help at first, but in the end we found out that he was actually taking advantage of..." Ying said.

"Yes, that guy, Young Master! I'm still angry when I think about it!" Paimeng said angrily: "Linghua must be careful too, don't be deceived!"

"...Well, I will...pay attention." Recalling the scenes with Knox during this period, especially last night... Ayaka shook her head slightly irritably.

As if he could see the eldest lady's bad mood, Toma immediately changed the subject and said: "Okay, anyway, Master Zhengsheng has been rescued, which can be regarded as a win back for us. It just so happens that Tianling Shouxing seems to be busy planning something recently. , the number of people executing the Eye Hunting Order has decreased a lot, so it is considered a peaceful time. If you continue to be nervous, it will only increase your fatigue. Why not take a rest for a while, how about we play a hot pot game? "

......

Chapter 10 News about the Night Demon

"——Oh, it's already this point. We can't waste our precious time on boring things like work."

The afternoon sunlight filtering through the window made Knox's eyes squint lazily.

"It's a shame to stay in the house in the afternoon. Do you want to go for a walk with me?" Knox casually threw the information in his hand aside and asked Columbia, who had been sitting at the desk all day.

Columbia didn't answer him, but Knox didn't care. He stood up, stretched, and walked toward the door. Just as his figure was about to disappear behind the door, Columbia's voice sounded. "You're ready to pull out the first nail, aren't you?"

Knox paused, and soon a smile appeared on his face: "How could it be possible? One nail is equivalent to one-seventh of my life. I cherish life the most, how could I do something that will shorten my life?" What about that kind of terrible thing? You think too much, don’t talk nonsense next time~"
