...
"Xing, it's time to go."
Looking at Xing, who stood behind him without making a sound,
Amber immediately felt that something was wrong.
She reminded him.
Xing asked in confusion:
"Go where?"
"Go save Collei!"
"But I don't know where Collei is?"
Eula and Amber were both stunned.
"You don't know where Collei is right now?"
Xing nodded innocently.
"Yeah, after I got up this morning, I realized Collei had left the farm."
"I found out from Arkz that Collei left the farm last night to seek revenge on the Fatui."
Xing summarized:
"It's because I couldn't find Collei that I came to ask Amber for help."
"Otherwise."
Xing fiercely swung his hilichurl wooden club.
"I could defeat all those detestable Fatui by myself."
Amber: "..."
Eula: "..."
Amber irritably grabbed the baron bunny off the sofa and violently mauled it.
Seeing this made Xing's blood boil, wishing he could take her place.
"Calm down, Amber."
"Right now, there are only the three of us. Rushing out onto the streets of Mondstadt to search is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Moreover, our current attire..."
The three of them were currently draped in black robes and wearing masks, making them suspicious individuals who would be arrested at a glance by the Knights of Favonius.
"If we attract the attention of the Fatui, we might even alert the enemy."
Not only would they fail to help Collei, but they might also cause the Fatui to become vigilant, putting her in danger."
Eula's calm analysis gave the other two a glimmer of hope.
Xing, being a baby not yet a full month old, only had garbage and trash cans in his head and couldn't come up with any useful suggestions.
Although Amber was very smart, with her friend in danger, she couldn't think calmly either.
As the saying goes, 'The bystander sees more clearly.'
Eula and Collei were not intimate; if it weren't for Amber acting as the bridge, they would only be passing acquaintances.
Therefore, Eula could use her wisdom to calmly analyze the current situation.
Looking at the expectant eyes of Amber and Xing, Eula's lips curved upward.
"This feeling of being expected and trusted seems quite nice."
After a moment of contemplation,
Eula opened her eyes.
A sharp glint flashed in her purple-gold gradient beautiful eyes.
She spoke:
"Collei's goal is to take revenge on the Fatui, right?"
Xing nodded fiercely.
"That's right, the Fatui are all bad guys!"
"Collei is going to take revenge on that guy!"
Eula analyzed:
"Although we don't know where Collei is, we know where the Fatui are."
"If Collei wants to cause trouble for the Fatui, she must go to the Fatui's current base in Mondstadt—the Goth Hotel!"
"As long as we follow the movements of the Fatui, we can deduce Collei's whereabouts."
At this moment, Amber raised a new question.
Amber frowned, unconsciously tying and then untying the ears of the baron bunny in her hand.
If the baron bunny had sentience,
It would certainly have an expression of utter despair on its face right now.
"But there are only three of us,"
"And there are so many people on the Fatui side."
"We don't have enough manpower!"
Eula smiled confidently, her ice-blue hair swaying with her movement.
"Although Collei looks like a frail little girl, I can feel her strength."
"For her to go to such great lengths, it certainly isn't an ordinary Fatui soldier."
"So—"
"We only need to keep an eye on the Fatui higher-ups!"
Amber and Xing exchanged a look and nodded in conviction.
Inside the Goth Hotel.
"Report to the Missionary, sir, we have discovered traces of a suspicious person. They are at Starsnatch Cliff."
The Missionary cackled sinisterly as he looked at his subordinate prostrating on the ground.
"This is the taste of power!"
"As long as I can capture that little white mouse, I can regain the favor of the Doctor!"
"At that time..."
"Hee hee hee hee hee..."
As a subordinate of the Doctor, that mad scientist, the Missionary was naturally also a crazy scientist.
Or rather, anyone who could be favored by the Doctor and survive his operating table was not a normal person.
Unfortunately, even under the Doctor, power struggles were not uncommon.
Furthermore, unlike other Fatui subordinates who had to show some deference to their superior's reputation, the Doctor's subordinates never held back against their colleagues.
Because the consequence of holding back was inexplicably appearing on their opponent's testing table the next day.
Since falling out of favor with the Doctor, the Missionary's status and power had decreased significantly.
Most crucially, his research funding had been cut, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
Therefore, he would pay any price to capture Collei.
"Give the order. Draw a squad of elites and follow me to Starsnatch Cliff."
"Yes!"
As the Missionary issued his command, the Fatui, that bloody and efficient war machine, operated swiftly.
Soon, a well-equipped elite squad appeared before the Missionary.
Wind Punch Vanguard, Thunder Hammer Vanguard, Hydro Gun Heavy Infantry, Geo Envoy Skirmisher, Wind Official.
In addition to them, there were two elite Debt Collectors.
One Cryo Cicin Mage.
With this configuration, the Missionary could not imagine a possibility of losing.
In fact, even without bringing these subordinates, the Missionary did not believe he would lose.
What allowed that escaped test subject to live until now? Wasn't it relying on his demon god remnant?
The Missionary understood the extent to which Collei could exert her power even better than Collei herself.
If it weren't for worrying about the intervention of Mondstadt's local powerhouses, the Missionary had originally planned to go alone.
After all, his colleagues were all watching him.
Like venomous snakes, waiting for him to show a flaw so they could fiercely tear off a piece of flesh.
"But it looks like I'm still the superior one."
The Cryo Cicin Mage standing behind the Missionary had a glint in her eyes as she looked at the Missionary's back, a smirk playing on her lips.
Immediately, the Missionary led his subordinates and left the Goth Hotel.
"They're out. They're coming out."
"That person is the new one from the Fatui, I think his name is Missionary."
"They're getting into the carriage."
"That's him, let's follow."
Eula watched the fully prepared squad of Fatui soldiers at the back door of the Goth Hotel, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"This is Mondstadt, it's not their turn to..."
Diluc looked at the message received from his subordinate, put on his mask, and picked up the heavy two-handed greatsword nearby.
His eyes stared fixedly in the direction of the Goth Hotel, his voice low:
"...A bunch of Fatui running rampant in Mondstadt!"
Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
"Report, Captain, the Fatui are making a move."
Kaeya lightly tossed the Mora in his hand and caught it precisely.
"Interesting."
"Tell the brothers it's time to make a move."
