He took up his hat and took a look in the moonlight.
Hmm? This witch hat with the star and moon logo looks so familiar.
It seems
Subconsciously looking towards the bed, Bai Luo saw Mona curled up in the corner and shivering.
escape!
With a loud crash.
A wave of water hit Bai Luo head-on.
While he was dodging the waves, Mona turned into a stream of water and jumped out of the gap he kicked, sank into the river outside, and fled towards the ocean along the current.
She didn't know why her first reaction after seeing Bai Luo was to run away.
Maybe it was because I fainted for no apparent reason when I was fortune-telling for him
No matter how you put it, this guy is really scary. When you meet him... you'd better hide if you can.
But she didn't notice that under the cold moonlight, a dark figure also jumped into the water with her, and ran on the water in a very strange way. Soon he caught up with her who was almost integrated with the water flow.
“Crash—”
After catching up with Mona who had turned into a stream of water, Bai Luo casually scooped her up in the water. Mona, who was not even wearing a cloak and was only wearing a tights, was fished out by him.
"Oh! All right! I won't run away! Let me down!"
Mona, whose wrist was pinched, tried to struggle, but found that the other person's hand was like a pair of pliers. Such struggle would only make her more uncomfortable and there was no possibility of breaking free.
"Are you sure?"
Bai Luo raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
I have to say, Bai Luo almost didn't recognize Mona with her hair loose and without a hat.
And the tights she is wearing look like Sukushima.
After seeing Mona nod, Bai Luo did not continue to embarrass her and let go of her hand.
Then
With a splash, Mona fell directly into the water.
She looked a little confused in the water.
Because it was too dark, she didn't notice that Bai Luo was standing in the water, and thought that he had fished her out from the shore.
After the other party let go, she was ready to land, but she didn't expect to fall into the water.
When she turned into a stream and melted into the water, she was still able to keep her clothes and hair dry.
Now, after falling into the water, she was completely soaked.
Looking at Mona struggling in the water, Bai Luo reached out again and pulled her out.
"You... you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Looking at Bai Luo with tears in her eyes, Mona asked.
"But you were the one who made me let go."
Bai Luo considerately brushed away the hair that was stuck to the other person's face after he got wet, and said with a hint of innocence.
It's really not his fault. He thought Mona could still turn into a stream and merge into the water like before.
"It's my bad luck to fall into your hands."
Mona said with a helpless sigh.
She finally understood what curiosity killed the cat meant. If she had known she would be so unlucky after entering Liyue City, she would never have come in even if she was beaten to death.
Sure enough, next time I see this kind of strange phenomenon, I will try to avoid it if I can.
"What do you mean by falling into my hands? You were the one who sneaked into my room first, right?"
Bai Luo subconsciously stretched out his hand to find a convenient point of force on Mona's neck, but found that it was difficult to lift her because she was wearing a tights.
So he held her wrist and walked upstream along the current towards the Yanshang Tea House.
I can't lift the back of my neck, I'm unhappy.
"Your room? That's the room Miss Chu Yi arranged for me! I've been living in it for several days."
After hearing Bai Luo's words, Mona said with a little dissatisfaction.
After she passed out, she stayed in that room.
When she woke up, she had planned to leave, but she encountered Osel's incident and couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Later, after hearing Chu Yi say that she could live here for free, she simply made that room her home, intending to wait until Osel's matter was over, and then find a way to find the mysterious traveler and continue her mission.
I never thought that Bai Luo would break in in the middle of the night.
"Chu Yi arranged it?"
Bai Luo was stunned for a moment, then he quickly remembered something.
It seemed that it was indeed me who asked Chu Yi to send her to my room, but later he went to Guyun Pavilion and never came back to deal with her affairs.
It turned out that she thought that was the room Chu Yi arranged for her.
Following the water flow, they came to the vicinity of the Yanshang Tea House. Bai Luo casually threw out a steel wire and led the two of them into the room.
As luck would have it, Chu Yi also happened to hear the noise and came over to check what was going on.
In fact, when she heard someone kicking the steel plate, she realized what was happening.
Unfortunately, Mona, who has been living in this room recently, is an expert in mysticism. She occasionally tinkers with some alchemical experiments, which causes similar noises.
so
"Hello, Boss!"
Seeing Bai Luo flying in with Mona in his arms, Chu Yi bowed and turned around to leave without hesitation.
As a result, a shiny dagger pierced the door frame before she did.
"Now that you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave."
Chapter 679: Even the armpits were not spared!
"It seems that I came back at the right time."
While eating the prepared midnight snack, Bai Luo looked at the information sent by Chu Yi and nodded with satisfaction.
Even though he often wandered outside, after living in Guyun Pavilion for a period of time, he couldn't help but want to satisfy his appetite.
Even though the food of the Hill people is full of wildness that human cities do not have, the reason why humans can be called humans is because they have gotten rid of most of the wildness.
It's okay to indulge yourself moderately, but there's no need to torture yourself all the time.
Based on the information provided by Chu Yi, Bai Luo also understood the current situation in Liyue City.
Putting aside other things, the Fatui are currently in a state of booming development.
Just as he had expected, in the disaster brought by Osel, the Fatui extended a helping hand in time, and even disregarded their own lives and risked their lives to help Liyue.
Therefore, the Fatui's current reputation in Liyue is unprecedentedly high.
Even some storytellers have started to follow suit and make up stories about the Fatui risking their lives to save others. However, if someone were to investigate, they would find that these storytellers have been frequenting the Northland Bank and the Rock Teahouse in recent days.
All I can say is... ... the wind direction in Liyue City has been towards the Fatui recently. Even if no one gives them any benefits, they will join in the fun and tell the previous story to take advantage of the popularity.
This current behavior can be regarded as going with the flow, and it cannot be said that one has received benefits.
Thanks to them, the Faintheads, who were originally unwelcome, are now warmly received wherever they go.
Some stores that have received help from the Fatui will even give Fatui soldiers certain discounts.
After this incident, the diplomatic relations between Zhidong and Liyue reached an unprecedented height.
However, according to the information from Bai Luo's spies who stayed in Liyue City, both Ningguang's people and Ye Lan's people had investigated the past of Roger and other fanatics.
And there are also senior executives of Northland Bank under surveillance.
Simply put, they had already noticed Bai Luo's little plans.
In fact, he didn't expect to keep it completely secret from them, so from the very beginning, he tried his best to separate the Fatui from Roger and his group.
No matter how Qixing and the others investigate, the Fatui will only be positive characters in the Osel incident.
Even if they really found out something, they would not dare to make it public rashly.
All I can say is that Bai Luo's timing was too ambiguous.
Now that the Geo King has passed away and the Seven Stars have just taken control of Liyue's political power, the situation is now unstable.
If they dare to touch the Fatui who have helped Liyue so much, it will definitely have a counterproductive effect and may even shake their position.
Therefore, they dare not and cannot question the Fatui, and even have to obey the wishes of the people of Liyue and make friends with the Fatui as much as possible.
Perhaps in the next few years or decades, after the Seven Stars have consolidated their power, they will settle this account, but by then it will no longer have much to do with Bai Luo.
At least during the time that Bai Luo was in charge, he helped the Fatui gain the most benefits.
In this farce in Osel, the Fatui not only did not suffer much loss, but made a huge profit. They can be said to be the biggest winners except Morax.
In fact, Bai Luo was also surprised by Morax's back-up plan.
He originally thought that the so-called ceremony of sending off the immortals was just the old man's bad taste.
I never thought that I could buy Qixing seven days of breathing time at this time.
If someone said this was a coincidence, Bai Luo would definitely not believe it.
It was estimated that the old man had already anticipated that Bai Luo might do something big, which was why he did this.
All I can say is... even if it's a piece of stone, it will become a spirit after a long time.
Speaking of the old man, Bai Luo got a headache again.
It’s not that he eats too much at Yanshang Tea House. Anyway, the money he spends is not his, and it will all be sent to Northland Bank in the end. He doesn’t feel bad about spending any amount of money.
He just realized what the other party meant.
If Zhongli came once every few days and only sat for an hour each time, it was because he came here to drink tea and kill time.
But if he comes here every day and stays for more than half a day each time, it means that the other party wants to wait for him here and wants to cause trouble for him.
Let’s look at the lady who was supposed to take the boat back to Winter Solstice, but is now slacking off in the Northland Bank... Could it be that they had some conflict over the issue of the Heart of God
If it was really a matter of the Heart of God, then he would have to meet with the old man.
But before that... ... he had another matter to deal with.
“Boom boom boom…”
After Bai Luo processed the information sent by Chu Yi and analyzed the current situation in Liyue, there was a knock on the door at an appropriate time.
It seems that Chu Yi has done what he instructed.
"Come in."
After putting away some things on the table that were not suitable for outsiders to see, Bai Luo spoke up.
But after the door opened, he was stunned by the situation outside.
Chu Yi was in front, and the female bodyguard Ya, who was on day shift, was behind. The two of them came in panting, carrying an unidentified object wrapped in a thick quilt.
When they threw the things they were carrying onto the bed, Bai Luo discovered that it was Mona who was tied up tightly and had a fragrant smell on her body.
But Mona's condition was not very good at the moment. Her mouth was stuffed with a rag torn from somewhere, and her eyes were covered tightly.
Judging from the fact that she kept struggling... ...her hands and feet were probably tied as well.
"this... ... "
Bai Luo looked at Mona lying on the bed, then looked at Chu Yi who was wiping the sweat from his head. He wanted to complain... but he didn't know how.
"Boss, I washed it thoroughly according to your instructions, even the armpits were not left out!"
Chu Yi said, making a please gesture with both hands.
That proud little expression, he's just short of saying the three words "Praise me quickly".
