She couldn't even remember whether she had had a dream or not.
Now, this pattern, which represents killing and death to others and makes one's soul tremble if one looks at it for a second longer, makes Cole feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The sight of the flags fluttering in the wind under the sun eventually made Cole gradually give up his murderous intent.
Since this convoy is flying his flag, he should not cause trouble.
She thought again of the letter she had hidden at home. Perhaps the letter would contain something she wanted to know.
After watching the convoy slowly drive towards the Layered Rock Abyss, Cole followed Tinari who had finally caught up with them and went back to Hua Castle together.
A crisis that was unacceptable to both parties was quietly resolved.
Chapter 560 Ye Lan's Performance
Regarding the fact that the Fatui caravan was about to enter Liyue, not many people cared except for the General Affairs Department which had just resumed operations.
Or no one dared to pay attention to that convoy anymore.
After all, Liyue now has an instructor with extremely strong deterrent power.
Since the General Affairs Department has not yet fully recovered, Ningguang handed over all related matters to Ye Lan.
After all, she had already shown interest in this caravan.
However, the situation in Ye Lan's stronghold was a little delicate at this time.
Let’s not talk about Shang Hua and his subordinates for now. Ye Lan, who was sitting in the main seat, stared blankly at Battousai, who was still a little listless, wondering what he was thinking.
After finding Battousai unconscious that day, she changed her clothes and sneaked out.
He pretended to have just returned and found Wu Pei, asking him what happened in the evening.
Wu Pei is an honest man.
He told everything he saw and heard.
For example, the strange snapping sound and Battousai's faint screams.
But precisely because of his honest character, Ye Lan believed in his words without a doubt.
She was already very sure that after drinking too much that night, she must have done something to Battousai that was inconvenient to describe.
And judging from the time he was unconscious and the way he touched his lower back from time to time, it seemed that I had tortured him quite a bit.
But what relieved her was that her actions seemed to have brought a great psychological trauma to Battousai. When he woke up, he acted as if he had forgotten what happened that night.
While this would make her less... reserved when facing Battousai, it also made her feel even more guilty.
What have I done?!
"grown ups?"
Seeing that Ye Lan seemed to have fallen into some strange state again, Wen Yuan, who was sitting next to her, called her.
His boss has been like this a lot lately, inexplicably falling into an inexplicable state.
Sometimes they would beat up the prisoners they were interrogating for no reason.
This situation happens more frequently especially when facing Battousai.
Is it possible
"Nothing, just a little irritated. Any news from the instructor?"
After Wen Yuan's reminder, Ye Lan took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"For the time being, I have some information. I specifically asked Shang Hua to inquire with the Fatui's business partners, and personally went to the Layered Abyss to investigate. I found that he has been going there frequently recently. He must have placed his focus there."
After organizing the information collected by himself and others, Wen Yuan placed it in front of Ye Lan.
As Ye Lan's confidants, their efficiency is extremely high and they are deeply trusted by him.
Ye Lan would not doubt the information they brought back.
"Why does he always go over there?"
The person who raised this question was Wu Pei.
Compared with Wenyuan Shanghua, he was more responsible for surveillance.
But as long as the instructor is not in Liyue, he has nothing to do, otherwise he would not stay in the stronghold every day.
"I kind of know why he went there."
Looking at the information Wen Yuan had compiled, Ye Lan had a rough idea in her mind.
She knew very well that there was a special group of people in Daochenglin - the forest rangers.
Among this group of forest rangers, there is one who is extremely special to the instructor.
Perhaps the instructor has been going there very frequently recently, which must be related to her.
"So what should we do now? They have already passed the Daocheng Forest and are about to enter the Layered Rock Abyss."
Shang Hua asked aloud.
Although the Crumbing Abyss is Liyue's territory, after Zhidong and Liyue cooperated, the Fatui occupied the abyss on the pretext of helping Liyue solve the problems inside the Crumbing Abyss.
Let's put it this way, even though Liyue's General Affairs Department can still influence the Chasm, but compared to the Fatui... it's no longer that easy for Liyue to cause trouble there.
"It's OK. We are not going to swallow up the caravan completely this time. We are just going to take away a piece of merchandise inside. It shouldn't be a problem."
Compared with his subordinates, Ye Lan was not so impatient.
With Battousai as her secret weapon, she is confident that she can defeat the Fatui, whether she disguises herself as an instructor to trick the things back or confronts the instructor head-on.
The balance of victory tilted towards her from the beginning.
The biggest variable now is Tartaglia in the Abyss.
That is, he was the eleventh executive officer who had been in charge of Liyue before the instructor came.
If he also joined the battle, the outcome would be hard to predict.
So she was more inclined to use tricks to get the item.
"So, I need to come out now?"
Bai Luo held his waist and asked weakly.
How to put it... ... After sleeping on the ground with his bare chest for a whole night, and being ravaged by the sunset fruit, his weakness was not really fake.
This state of his once again made Ye Lan, who was sitting in the main seat, twitch her eyes unconsciously.
"Don't worry. Wait until you are sure that the instructor is not following the caravan before letting you go out. Otherwise, if two instructors show up at the same time, it will be a disaster."
Trying to calm herself down, Ye Lan seemed a little guilty when she said this. She didn't even look at Bai Luo, but stared at the tablecloth in front of her.
It was as if there was a flower on the tablecloth in front of me.
"So...what are we going to do?"
Wen Yuan asked quietly beside him.
He seemed to see something, but also seemed to see nothing clearly.
His eyes kept swinging between Bai Luo and Ye Lan.
"Wenyuan, go and explain the situation to Lord Tianquan and ask her to help with the follow-up preparations. Shanghua, try to find out the route of the caravan, and it would be best if you could find out the instructor's whereabouts as well. As for Wu Pei... ... stay in Liyue for the time being and keep a close eye on Andre's whereabouts."
His eyes swept over his men, and Ye Lan assigned them tasks one by one.
The tasks she assigned were also very particular.
Shang Hua is proficient in business and likes to exchange information for transactions, so he found some ways in the Northland Bank, which has a close relationship with the word "business". It is very easy to get some clues.
As for Wen Yuan, he is good at talking and knows a lot of people in the General Affairs Department. Even Ningguang has some impression of him. It is most appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Not to mention Wu Pei, you can tell from his name what this big guy is good at.
"What about me? Although I have just recovered from a serious illness, I can still do something."
Seeing that the other three had made arrangements, Bai Luo weakly raised his hand and asked.
But rather than being assigned a job, he actually wanted to see the expression on Ye Lan's face at that moment.
Apart from anything else, the socially dead state she showed from time to time made Bai Luo feel that his sunset fruit was not eaten in vain.
Isn’t the fun already here
Chapter 561 Ye Lan's Guilt
Having been a villain for so many years, Bai Luo understands best those who have conscience and claim to be good people.
And also knows how to tease them.
For example, guilt.
The so-called guilt is a relatively subjective feeling. When a person does something that he feels violates his conscience, he will feel regret or guilt for his behavior afterwards.
Every time I think of something like this, I even want to slap myself twice, and then hypnotize myself - don’t think about it... ... don’t think about it, forget all those bad things!!!
Bai Luo was very familiar with this feeling.
When he first joined the game, it happened to be the Zhongli pool. It only took him thirteen draws to get three Zhonglis, and the first weapon he drew from the weapon pool was the Primordial Sword.
He showed it to his friend at the time, and his friend got so angry that he quit the game on the spot.
The feeling of guilt in his heart prompted him to eat an extra bowl of rice that night.
Is Ye Lan a person with conscience
Although she, like Bai Luo, was the type of person who did dirty work, her hands were definitely stained with a lot of blood.
But her camp is definitely not like Bai Luo's chaotic neutral, but chaotic good.
This way, there will be a lot of room for creativity.
As long as she feels guilty, she will consider Bai Luo's feelings more when facing him.
Even when Bai Luo did something a bit excessive, as long as it didn't touch on her bottom line, she would generally pretend not to see it.
Pretending to have forgotten what happened that night has a hint of gambling in it.
If Ye Lan also chooses to forget about this matter after knowing that Bai Luo does not remember what happened that night, then Bai Luo's hard work may be greatly reduced.
Even if there is an effect, it will not be too obvious.
If Ye Lan knew what happened that night, but Bai Luo, the "victim", had forgotten everything... the effect would be extraordinary.
He did things he shouldn't have done and concealed the whole process from the victim.
The victim even showed her some affection.
The strong sense of guilt made her feel suffocated and she was easily controlled by Bai Luo.
Some people may think that Bai Luo’s behavior is not very rational
Reason? Why should we be reasonable
What Bai Luo pursues is just more fun, he never cares about the results.
Unless that result is also a rare pleasure for him.
So in order to make himself happier, he chose to "forget" what happened that night.
When he thought that Ye Lan might ask him indirectly about what happened that night, his little feet couldn't help but tremble.
In fact, he chose to let himself "forget" what happened that night, and also considered another possibility.
After playing with the Coral Palace Heart Sea on Haiji Island, he had learned some experience.
After his beautiful little fish was broken, it simply chose to lie down and obediently let him do whatever he wanted.
No matter what he does, the other party always has an attitude of "as long as you are happy".
For Bai Luo, who likes to have fun, this is a very boring feeling.
He likes the feeling of accomplishment when he exhausts the fish while fishing and then pulls it out.
Instead of the boring feeling of putting your hand into the water and then the other person swimming into your hand.
So if both of them knew what happened that night, the nature of the situation would change.
