Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 231: Visit Mondstadt

The man in the spirit state seemed to have noticed their arrival. He turned his head slightly and glanced at them before making any further actions.

"Okay, let's go."

After confirming that it was correct, Zuo Xi asked Columbia to take him out of this soul space. This place made him feel uncomfortable all over. If he were not a spirit body at this moment, he would not have those instinctive reactions originating from the body. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm at this time. He didn't like this dark place very much. Especially the unknown darkness beneath his feet reminded him of the abyss.

"Is this okay?"

Columbia didn't expect that the other party's "look" was really just a look.

She thought she would prepare something else to capture this soul, and then use it for another purpose through some method.

She didn't know the specific content of Zuo Xi's deal with the God of Wisdom, so she habitually thought that the "foreign objects" should be expelled.

"Of course not, but I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's talk about it when we go out."

Even if the spirit state does not tremble, it does not mean that he can endure this place. Columbia's guess was actually not wrong. He did need to take some action on the soul of "Rustan", but there was no need for him to be involved... After all, he was not the one doing the actual operation.

"it is good."

Without any action, Columbia just agreed. Then, at an unknown moment, Zuo Xi found that he had returned to reality without any warning. If everything hadn't been in accordance with his instructions and prepared in his heart, it might be difficult for him to distinguish between reality and consciousness.

Still so hard to guard against...

"...Sandogne, was it fun?"

Let’s put aside the discussion about Columbia’s ability. Although he didn't know when he returned to reality, at least it was difficult for him to ignore the touch on his face and the figure playing wantonly on his face.

"It's fun, but it's a pity that you came out too early."

Sandonie wiped away the remaining water stains on the corner of the other party's mouth without leaving a trace, and Sandone had no consciousness of being caught. Even when he answered this sentence, he still had no intention of stopping.

She had wanted to take advantage of this face for a long time, so of course she couldn't let go of such an opportunity.

Um? Are you talking about face and qualifications as an executive? Are those things as interesting as Zuo Xi's face?

"Oh... Okay, Xiao Sang, let's stop for a moment."

Zuo Xi noticed that Sandonie was becoming more and more thick-skinned and acted more and more freely. I always feel that more and more people are tending to develop in this direction... Sigh, I really don’t know who I learned this from.

After hearing Zuo Xi's words, Sandone finally couldn't continue to muddle through, so she moved her hands up, trying to tidy up Zuo Xi's slightly messy hair at the last moment.

But obviously, she doesn't have this talent. Just like every time in the past, Zuo Xi's hair just changed into a messy way.

So she simply ignored it, and after taking a final handful, she planned to end this "rewarding" prank.

Columbia looked at Zuo Xi's head, then at Sandone's hands, and then tilted her head. Although the expression did not change, Columbia knew that it was expressing confusion.

Columbia couldn't understand it, it was hard to believe that this "bird's nest" was made by the hands that could create such exquisite dolls.

"Stop looking and get down to business. Can you put an obvious mark on that soul? One that ordinary people can't see, but some relevant powerful people can see clearly at a glance?"

It's not that Zuo Xi looked down on Nacida, but after being imprisoned for five hundred years, she might not be able to find the mark that Columbia deliberately concealed. It would be too troublesome if you find that you can't find the casting position when you connect to Nacida, and Columbia is not around at that time.

"Ah."

It was still a soft response, and it still seemed like nothing happened to Zuo Xi. The three people in the room fell into an eerie silence. Columbia stopped moving after saying "hmm", Sandone didn't care, and Zuo Xi had no idea if anything happened.

"...Is this the end?"

After a while, Zuo Xi still couldn't help but seek confirmation from Columbia. After all, he couldn't feel anything and couldn't see anything. Although he once said that "ordinary people can't see it," there is no need to include spell-casting actions.

"Well, it's over. The "little girl" should be able to spot it at first sight.

Sorry, I ignored you. "

This time Columbia answered quickly and did not forget to apologize to Zuo Xi at the end. After all, if you don't think about it deliberately, it is actually easy to ignore the fact that Zuo Xi is a mortal.

"...That's good. Then Columbia, Sandone, I will leave Ina Wife to you two to guard her from now on."

"Are you leaving Inazuma? Going to Sumeru? Is that...that thing? What about Rosalin?"

Sandonie was slightly surprised, although the other party did say something like "The matter has not been completely resolved yet, but I no longer need to guard here all the time." But she didn't expect that the other party would leave Daozi early.

Naturally, she thought of the previous deal between Zuo Xi and [Skire Soldier].

"No, it's not urgent. I'm going to Mondstadt. As for Rosalind, of course I'll take her with me.

After all, that is her "hometown". "

……

"Acting Captain..."

It's still the same office, the same Captain Qin, and the person reporting is still the same Kaia. Even the thing reported was still the same thing.

So, naturally, Captain Qin still had the same stomachache expression. And this time, her anxiety was even far greater than last time.

After Inazuma's national lockdown order ended, the news from over there naturally spread. And some of the things... no matter how you look at it, are very similar to what the executive officer did.

And there is a most critical piece of information inside - "The giant machine defeated the Thunder General." All it takes is a resident of Teyvat to understand what this sentence means.

Those are gods, those are the [Seven Rulers of the Earthly World].

"I understand, I will deal with this matter. By the way, Kaiya, you have worked hard during this period, how about taking this opportunity to take a vacation?

These days, you can put aside the affairs of the Knights. Just take the executive officer and have fun for a while. However, don’t be too impulsive this time... You should be able to understand the current situation, right? "

Letting Kaia accompany her throughout the whole journey was also Qin's choice after careful consideration. Although there were lessons learned from the past, Kaia was not someone who was easily fooled. Jean decided to trust him again.

Moreover, Qin said it very tactfully... No one should be impulsive about fighting power that can rival the gods, right?

The most important thing is that the only ones suitable for similar things are Kaia and Rosalia. But Rosalia's methods are likely to cause conflicts. As for the conflict? The consequences...she had already experienced them.

As for surveillance... Qin doesn't plan to spend any extra energy on it. It's useless to monitor anyway, so we might as well use that part of the manpower to strengthen the city's security.

"Nip in the bud", what a beautiful word. But Qin will no longer pin her hopes on this.
