The next day.
When Xing woke up, she didn't find any trace of Collei.
At first, she didn't pay it any mind.
She thought Collei had just woken up early and gone wandering around the farm.
However, when Arkz told her that Collei had already left the farm.
Xing fell into deep thought.
"Why did Collei leave?"
"Because she is going for revenge."
As Arkz's clone, Xing possessed Arkz's memories and understood Collei's difficult background.
But for Xing, this lacked any real feeling.
It was like a passage written by an editor, which could be arbitrarily deleted or changed.
However, upon learning the news of Collei's departure, Xing finally understood something.
Perhaps just a few simple lines in a script, but for Collei, it was an unforgettable blood feud.
The Fatui are the villains.
No matter what the Fatui's goals are, the moment they harm innocent people, they no longer represent justice.
When watching through a screen, Xing could laugh and say she wanted to join the Fatui and become the twelfth Harbinger.
But when she personally felt the heart-wrenching hatred of Collei, the few shreds of good impression Xing had for the Fatui vanished.
"Dottore, damn it!"
Xing swung the hilichurl wooden club in her hand.
She was going to find Collei.
But not to stop her.
But to help her take revenge.
Since she admitted she was Collei's friend, she had to find a way to help her distressed friend, otherwise, what kind of galaxy bat hero would she be?
...
...
Mondstadt has been quite lively these past few days.
Because of the death of the Fatui envoy,
the Fatui issued a condemnation against Mondstadt.
To track down the culprit,
the Knights of Favonius had been investigating for a long time without any progress.
To investigate the truth behind the envoy's death, the Fatui dispatched the "Missionary," one of the Doctor's subordinates, to investigate the truth.
However, as one of the personnel who participated in the experiments, an assistant to the Doctor,
the Missionary was extremely sensitive to the aura of the demon god remnant, and he quickly locked onto his target.
"Lord Missionary, before Envoy Sir left Mondstadt, he was assassinated. It seems like..."
Anastasia did not continue speaking. As a counselor for the Fatui, she was perfectly aware of what that kind of flame represented.
"The power of a Delusion, right?"
The Missionary's lips curved into a smile, looking terrifying and eerie.
Anastasia shivered.
Even within the Fatui, the Doctor, who casually performed human experiments on his subordinates, was a dangerous figure feared by many. The Missionary, who managed to survive under the Doctor to this day, was naturally not to be underestimated.
Looking at Anastasia, the Missionary waved his hand dismissively.
"Pressure Mondstadt? Do I need to teach you how to do that?!"
"Your subordinate understands!"
After receiving permission, Anastasia immediately fled as if escaping.
"After all, they are just mortals, unable to comprehend the great wisdom of Lord Doctor."
"Little white mouse, you cannot escape, hehe..."
On the other side, Collei was darting through the narrow alleys of Mondstadt City. This place was a mix of all sorts, perfect for hiding and shaking off pursuers.
In recent years, in order to get revenge on the Missionary who injected her with the demon god remnant, she frequently dealt with the Fatui.
She heard that because she had severely damaged the laboratory, the guy named Missionary was neglected and forgotten by his master, the Doctor. Collei had gloated about that for a long time.
Therefore, she could somewhat guess the Missionary's intentions.
It was probably to capture her and continue the research from back then to regain the Doctor's favor, or something along those lines.
"What a coincidence."
"You want to use my body for experiments."
"And I happen to want your life."
Collei touched the bandage on her arm, her eyes filled with a bloodthirsty aura.
Unless the wound is on oneself, one will never know how painful it is.
For those who knew Collei's experience, they only knew that the Fatui's human experiments were cruel, but they didn't know how cruel.
Instead, they might even worship the Doctor because of his power and handsome facade.
But to Collei, this was her past, her experience.
The cold scalpel slicing through the skin of her body...
She could never forget all the pain.
When she survived the operating table, when she escaped the Fatui's laboratory, she understood there was one thing she absolutely had to do in this life.
Find that person, kill him...
Kill him.
Kill him!
"Missionary, I'm coming for you."
Looking at the blatant provocation from the test subject in the intelligence report sent by his subordinate, the Missionary narrowed his eyes.
"Such an arrogant brat! Hehe, truly worthy of being the test subject I favored!"
"If you were too weak,"
"It would disappoint me too much."
As the Missionary's negative emotions boiled over, a lion-like phantom appeared behind him. It had three horns on its head, and its tongue was forked like a snake's. Its massive body was piled high with muscle.
It looked like a monster.
"Hehehe..."
As a research fanatic, the Missionary personally managed all the experiments related to Collei, so he was naturally very aware of her strength.
No matter how strong Collei's power was, the Missionary was not worried in the slightest.
Because the resentment of the demon god he injected into his own body was far stronger and more controllable than Collei's!
"Go, find that brat's location."
"I want to know her personally!"
"Yes!"
That's right.
The intelligence the Missionary held was deliberately leaked to him by Collei.
The goal was to lure the snake out of its hole.
To draw this venomous snake away from the protection of the Fatui.
Only then would she have enough opportunity for revenge.
Fortunately, just as she wished, this fool fell for the trap.
Meanwhile...
Xing rushed to Amber's house.
Bang bang bang!
"Amber, Amber, open the door quickly!"
"Collei is in trouble!!!"
A startled cry came from inside Amber's house.
"What?!!"
"What happened to Collei?"
"Wasn't Collei fine at the party last night?"
Amber rushed over barefoot, not even taking the time to put on her shoes, and quickly opened the door.
Seeing Amber's messy hair, Xing realized Amber must have been sleeping just now.
Just then, a charming female voice came from Amber's bedroom:
"Amber~ Why so noisy?"
"Yula, something happened, get up quickly."
Just as Xing was explaining the matter of Collei's departure to Amber, Yula walked out with messy hair.
Looking at Yula, a voice sounded in Xing's mind:
"She is so beautiful."
Indeed, even with messy bird's nest hair, Yula's languid face possessed an enchanting charm.
Amber casually explained:
"Yula drank too much last night, so I let her stay here for the night."
Afterward, Amber urged Xing to quickly continue explaining Collei's situation.
Perhaps because they were both girls, Yula didn't mind being accidentally exposed and sat next to Amber in her pajamas, listening to their conversation.
In normal times, Xing would definitely feast her eyes, even thinking about getting closer for a better view.
But now, the worry for Collei made Xing lose the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
