Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 394 In the Night

The moon is high in the sky, and the stars are twinkling.

The bright moonlight spreads all over the earth, everything seems to be covered with a layer of smoke and mist, and the scenery is like a dream.

However, on this beautiful night, in a hidden cave somewhere on the hillside of Tianheng Mountain, a tense atmosphere was faintly revealed.

Deep in the cave, several Fatui were busy, and their actions were shrouded in a mysterious shadow.

"Can you please move faster? If we keep the Doctor waiting for too long, we will be in trouble!" A tall and thin middle-aged man in a white lab coat could not help but urge the Fatui present.

Upon hearing this, one of the Fatui vanguards, who was tall and wore a non-commissioned officer's medal on his chest, snorted coldly.

"We are naturally aware of the Doctor's orders, and you don't need to remind us. If you have the energy to urge us, why don't you come and lend a hand instead of just being a useless person with nothing to do but talk."

The tall Fatui sergeant responded coldly, obviously displeased by the middle-aged man's urging.

"You!" The middle-aged man glared at her, but seemed afraid and did not dare to attack.

He gritted his teeth and finally decided not to continue arguing with the sergeant. Instead, he quietly walked aside and began to organize some experimental equipment.

The atmosphere in the cave became increasingly tense, and everyone was busy, fearing that they would delay the adult's plan.

At this moment, in the forest outside the cave, a slight sound of footsteps was heard, and a dark shadow was approaching quietly.

The dark shadow stopped outside the cave and quietly observed the movements inside.

The moonlight fell on the black shadow, faintly outlining a contour with bumps and corners.

This is a woman, a woman who exudes a crisp and decisive aura and has a mysterious temperament like an orchid blooming at midnight.

"One, two, three... seven people. One of them has a stronger aura than the others, but not much stronger. Hmm... it's the same as the usual Fatui team. Another one has a weak aura, so he should be... an ordinary person? It seems that I don't need to put in too much effort this time, so I can relax a little."

Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly and calculated quickly in her mind. Then she gently moved her wrist and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Okay, it's time to get to work." Ye Lan muttered to herself, her figure emerging from the shadows like a ghost, approaching the cave entrance silently.

Her movements were agile and light, as if blending into the night.

Inside the cave, the Fatui were unaware of the approaching danger and they were still busy.

Ye Lan entered the cave silently like a ghost in the night.

Her eyes were sharp and she quickly scanned the situation in the cave, then approached the Fatui silently.

"Who?" The middle-aged man in the white lab coat suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around suddenly, but only saw a black shadow flash by.

Ye Lan's movements were as fast as lightning. She shook her wrist slightly and a blue line of water shot out, instantly entangling the Fatui soldier closest to her.

The soldier was panicked and tried to struggle, but Ye Lan pulled him hard and he fell heavily to the ground.

The other Fatui then noticed Ye Lan's presence and picked up their weapons to prepare for battle.

The tall Fatui sergeant roared and rushed forward first.

Ye Lan dodged the sergeant's attack easily by moving to the side, then struck back, knocking the sergeant back several steps.

"Who is it?!" the sergeant's eyes widened with anger.

Ye Lan didn't say anything. She attacked again, and water lines danced in the cave like nimble snakes.

Although the Fatui fought hard, they were completely powerless under Ye Lan's attack. Each of her attacks accurately hit their vital points, making it impossible for them to continue fighting.

Within a few minutes, all the Fatui in the cave had been subdued by Ye Lan, leaving only the middle-aged man in the white lab coat looking at Ye Lan in horror, wondering who she was and why she appeared here.

Ye Lan slowly walked towards the man and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man swallowed and said tremblingly: "I...we are just doing some...some scientific research."

"Scientific research?" Ye Lan sneered, obviously not believing his words, "I think you are more likely to be doing something unspeakable."

The man hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, we are really just..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Lan had already lost her patience. She flicked her wrist and the water line shot out again, binding the man to the ground.

"Alright, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Ye Lan curled her lips, "I'd better take you back and interrogate you properly. Then you will confess obediently."

Ye Lan tied up all the Fatui, then contacted his subordinates and prepared to escort these Fatui back to a base outside Liyue Harbor for interrogation.

As all man-made objects in the cave were cleaned up and everyone left, the cave returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

The night is deep and in the thick night fog, the faint chirping of insects can be heard singing softly beside your ears, like a murmur of words that lingers in your ears, never ending.

I don’t know how long it had been, but the loud chirping of insects in the deep forest suddenly disappeared, replaced by silence.

It was as if a mysterious force enveloped the area, making everything quiet.

Click~

The sound of dead leaves and branches being stepped on broke the silence.

A man with blue hair and red eyes, wearing a white coat with gray patterns and a bird-beak mask, slowly appeared.

The man had a crow's beak shoulder ornament on his right shoulder, and many black leather belts with gold frames tied around his body. The waist pendants and earrings were blue test tube styles. He had an indifferent expression, and his eyes were like a deep lake, exuding a chilling aura.

He stared quietly at the entrance of the cave. He did not go in, but he seemed to be able to see everything that had happened before through the darkness.

“Liyue... Tsk, what a troublesome place.” The man smacked his lips, his tone sounding a little unhappy.

"Last time, that kid ruined my plan, and this time someone else comes to mess with me again." His voice was low and magnetic, but the anger contained in it was obvious.

"...Huh~ It's worthy of being the kingdom of the God of Rock. The gods are powerful, and the people should not be underestimated. It seems I have to readjust my plans." The man muttered to himself, his fingers tapping lightly on the evil eye on his waist, as if he was thinking about something.

"But this is fun, isn't it?" A playful gleam flashed in his eyes, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared.

And the forest remained quiet, as if silently witnessing the occurrence and end of all this.
