Chapter 161 160- News
"Are you not angry at all?"

Ying was quite curious.

From the moment General Lei Dian sent out the invitation, Yae Shen Zi knew that there were some unexpected events in the plan.

She didn't hide it from Ying.

This is too obvious.

If she still intends to deceive Ying into doing things, even if the other party is willing to abide by the agreement and fight for her life, this is also an enmity.

Tricking someone into doing something dangerous, knowing that the level of danger is increasing but not telling them, just because you are worried that the other person will refuse because of the danger.

This is the seed of hatred.

Yae Shinko was indeed worried that Ying would refuse to meet Lei Dian after knowing that the plan had collapsed.

This is normal.

The biggest advantage of the two of them in their fight with Lei Dianying is that they are acting unintentionally. Now Lei Dianying knows their plan, so it is completely understandable that Ying doesn't want to go, and Yaezhenzi can also understand that.

But the reason why Yae Shinko did not lie was not because her friendship with Ying was so deep that she did not want Ying to be hurt even if her goal was not achieved.

For example, she hopes that the other party can make his own choice, whether it is leaving or taking risks, she can accept it... Ah, no, not really.

It was originally just a transaction. Everyone had some contact when they got along with each other and got to know each other a little bit. If this little interaction could make Yaezakami feel sorry for her, she would really be unworthy of the five hundred years.

Be honest because the cost of deceiving is too high.

She thought for a moment and decided to take a gamble on Ying's character.

"Not that I haven't." Yae Shinko yawned, looking lazy, "But he has already finished his move. It would be a waste of time to go back and settle the score now."

Lei Movie is not someone who is easy to take advantage of.

Once the other party takes action once, it is unlikely that he will interfere with him a second time in a short period of time.

Between finding the mastermind and seizing the time to complete the plan, Yae Shinko chose the latter.

"I'm a little worried. What if Ying changes his mind again while we're looking for him?" Yae Shenzi smiled sweetly. "So, the magnanimous Palace Master will not worry about it."

Paimon folded his arms, not believing a word of it.

"As long as you are happy." Ying nodded, "But your plan failed, what should we do?"

She didn't really care about what Yae Shinto was thinking.

Going crazy and being angry are all Yaezakami's business. She only cares about whether Yaezakami is still confident of defeating Lei Dianying under such circumstances.

"There's nothing wrong with the plan." Yae Shenzi smiled softly, "Ying is too proud. Since He has issued an invitation, He will not set up defenses in advance or stop my methods."

On the contrary, He would probably deliberately restrain himself, giving the Eightfold Son of God enough time to perform, and strive to defeat the most well-prepared enemy.

When dealing with enemies, Lei Dianying would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

He also fought his way out of the Demon War period, winning in the shortest time and at the lowest cost. This is the concept of war.

However, the challenger this time is one of Eternity’s own people who wants to shake it.

He did not seek a quick victory, but instead wanted to defeat the Eightfold Divine Child and let her know who was right.

"A battle of ideas aimed at conquest?"

Ying nodded.

She read a lot of historical records related to the God of Thunder from Yae Kamiko and the Kamisato family.

Most human records are actually not very credible. They only record Narukami as a selfless saint who is willing to give everything for Inazuma.

No one cares why the God of Thunder established Inazuma to protect the world.

In short, before recording, everyone had reached a tacit understanding - God loves the world.

Under this argument, it is difficult to obtain useful records.

The records left behind by priests or others are meant for people to see.

If others see that your description of the gods is not respectful enough, this thing will never be passed down to later generations.

It is really difficult to expect to dig out the truth from these records.

However, combined with Yae Shinko's description, she could probably tell that Lord Ming Shen was confident enough, even conceited.

In a battle of ideas like this, He would not crush His opponent in order to win. Instead, He would completely destroy the opponent's beliefs and make the opponent admit that He is the one walking on the right path.

"This is indeed good news." Ying also breathed a sigh of relief. "He wants not only victory, but also you and I to be convinced."

This is a guarantee.

At least it means that neither she nor Yae Shinko will die.

As long as they admit that Lei Dianying is right at the critical moment, then everyone can leave Inazuma happily.

I won’t die anyway, so just admit defeat.

"Well, in terms of identity, I am after all a follower of Shadow." Yae Shenzi said with a smile, "It is precisely because I have a good relationship with Him that He takes my challenge so seriously."

In another person’s case, she said she did not agree with the timeless concept of Ray’s film.

Lei's movies should either be destroyed humanely or return directly to the pure land of oneness.

God does not need a human to acknowledge and judge whether His ideas are correct.

But the person who challenged His ideas was the Eightfold Son of God.

Differences in identity lead to different results.

"If that's the case, then how are you prepared?" Ying pursed her lips, "You're not ready yet, are you?"

In this sense, the exposure of the plan is actually good news.

Instead of stopping him, Lei Dianying allowed Yae Shinto to make proper preparations.

This means to defeat the enemy in one go.

But this is good news for Ying.

Challenging the gods was a very dangerous decision. Even though she had never seen the seven rulers take serious action, she could get a glimpse of the whole picture from Osel.

A defeated warrior who had been sealed since the Demon War until today almost turned the entire Liyue Harbor into a swamp when he crawled out.

The seven ruling parties should be the stronger party.

Challenging this dangerous existence often requires the price of life.

But there is no need to worry now.

This is a battle of ideologies between Yae Kamiko and Lei Dianying. Yae Kamiko has now become the protagonist of the story, and Ying is just a supporting role.

If he loses, Yae Shinko will completely admit defeat and acknowledge the eternity of Lei's movies.

There is no need to pay extra price for fluorescence.

"In this case, you have picked up an advantage." Yae Shenzi's eyes flickered, "Originally, it was you who went to challenge Ying, and challenged Eternity as a variable."

Only something this troublesome deserves a reward like the Heart of God.

"I can return the Heart of God to you." Ying said without hesitation, "You can exchange it for any reward you want."

"Forget it." Yae Shinko shook his head.

Her plan also required timing.

Whether it is Ying or Inazuma's chaos, these are elements that were gradually filled in later.

It is precisely because of these that she chose to challenge Lei Movie.

The difference in combat power between the two sides is almost obvious. There is really no chance of winning, and the Eightfold God's Son will not force it.

She felt that Lei Dianying was wrong to isolate himself.

But when it comes to persuading a god, reason is of little use; what matters most is having the power to make Him think about what you say.

"I think that eternity is wrong. It was actually a long time ago." Yae Shenzi said softly, "But the real chance to challenge the concept of the shadow still depends on you."

"No matter how Ying views our cooperation, I am still sure that you are the key." She looked at Ying, "So, this reward is still yours."

"But I always feel that the Heart of God seems to be a trouble." Ying's eyes moved, "Look, trouble is coming."

The girl dressed in the costume of a shrine maiden walked straight towards the sacred cherry tree without any covering.

"Who are you····"

Yae Kamiko recalled the other person's name easily.

However, the other party seemed unwilling to mention this identity, and she interrupted the name that Yae Shenzi was about to blurt out.

"I am a chess piece arranged by the Fatui to lurk in the Narukami Grand Shrine." She admitted this identity very frankly. "If this behavior angers you, you can take my life later, or I will end it myself."

"The owner of the identity I replaced is not dead. The Fatui will return her to you soon."

She raised her head, without any fear of death on her face.

"But before that, please listen to the conditions that the Fatui intend to pay."

From being trained by Hearth House when she was young to now, she must give something for the Fatui.

Such manpower that can complete the undercover work is actually quite important, but compared with the mission she has undertaken, her personal life and death is just a small gift.

"I have no interest in taking someone's life." Yae Shinko was quite tolerant. "Besides, although you sneaked into the Narugami Shrine, you didn't cause any trouble for the shrine."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Palace Master."

The witch bowed and thanked him.

There are many ways to enter a system. Narujin Taisha is a shrine, so naturally there cannot be a lack of shrine maidens.

Yae Kamiko knew that not all of these shrine maidens who served the gods were honest in their hearts. Some of them regarded being a shrine maiden as a stepping stone to advancement, some simply did it to make a living, and of course there were also assistants arranged by the Three Magistrates specifically to please her.

The Eightfold Son of God didn't care at all.

As long as she works and doesn't do anything wrong, she doesn't care what a person is thinking.

And this witch from the Fatui can also be attributed to those with ulterior motives.

She replaced someone's identity, used another person's name and face, learned the other person's tone of voice and habits, and then became another person.

This is a customary layout.

Not only at Narukami Taisha Shrine, but also among the retainers and attendants of the Three Bugyo, the Fatui have sown enough seeds.

They will bring intelligence to the Fatui, perhaps just by hearing an inadvertent conversation, and the piecing together of various intelligence will lead to a new path.

She came to Narukami Taisha Shrine for the same reason.

And now, she first apologized to Yae Shinko for the person she replaced.

"You said she's not dead yet?" Yae Shinko blinked. "Oh, I thought with the way the Fatui acted, you would think the dead could keep secrets better."

The girl remained silent.

This is indeed the consistent style of the Fatui.

But the reason why the opponent didn't die this time was because she was a new chess piece.

Inazuma's situation is confusing and changing too quickly.

Originally, the Fatui had already invested enough chess pieces and were confident that they could control the overall situation.

As a result, one accident after another exploded on this land, causing headaches for the executives responsible for controlling the situation.

They all feel that they have invested too much for the expected returns, and if they do not increase their investment at this time, they may end up losing everything.

If you want to place a chess piece, the safest way is of course to spend time polishing the other party's identity so that the person he follows will have enough trust in him.

But the Fatui are out of time.

So they used a faster method, collecting information, and then obtaining a person's habits and speaking style, then capturing the person and throwing him into another person's hand.

This is somewhat dangerous.

Everyone has a relatively complete network of relationships, and there will always be omissions.

But the Fatui are only seeking short-term control, so this violent method can still be used.

The reason why the person she replaced was able to survive was because the executive officer was also unsure whether to cooperate with Yae Kamiko one day.

They subconsciously kept each other alive so that their apology at some point would be more sincere.

If a person is dead, there is no point in apologizing.

But if he is just locked up, if he is sincere enough by then, maybe he can win a crucial opportunity.

This opportunity was really used.

"The executive officer does not really want to offend the palace master." She lowered her head and spoke respectfully, "so he is just inviting him to be a guest temporarily."

Yae Shenzi smiled and said nothing.

"That sounds nice." Paimon floated up, "Be a guest? Did the other party agree?"

The so-called invitation to be a guest is nothing more than the feeling that there will be nothing to talk about after killing someone.

This concern is thanks to Jiang Qing.

Since Mondstadt, this man has been a ghost following the Fatui.

No matter what the Fatui's plans are, this person who they chose to kill the first time but luckily survived can always benefit from the Fatui's plans.

And now, he has shown obvious hostility towards the Fatui, and even threatened the Fatui with the news of the Heart of God.

First talk about cooperation, then invite the other party to be a guest, and if there is really no choice, then kill them last.

If the problem can be solved by spending money, don't kill people casually.

trouble.

This course of action sounds much kinder, but if it is determined in the end that the Eightfold Son of God is not needed, Paimon doesn't think the other party will let him go.

The Fatui's tactics haven't changed, they've just become more cautious.

"After all, the person is not dead. Xuan Dong will not mind discussing cooperation with the Fatui." Yae Shenzi pinched Paimon's cheek. "The injured person is not little Paimon. How do you know that Xuan Dong will not feel lucky?"

Genfu Ringo is a ninja sent out by the final mission.

Yae Kamiko was aware of her work at Narukami Taisha Shrine, but she had never been in charge of it.

In this kind of job in the final episode, killing and being killed are the norm, and Yae Kamiko has no attitude of fighting for her.

Since Xuandong Ringo is still alive, she would probably be glad that she was invited by the Fatui to be their "guest".

Going into danger and obtaining information or something else is a daily routine for the ninjas in the final episode.

Except for Zaoyu, she is a ninja in name only.

As for the salary of the final show, she can only get the basic salary every month because she almost never takes the initiative to accept any tasks.

Mora's salary of 20w is probably not enough to support even half of Paimon.

After all, Paimon’s food expenses alone cost 30 Mora every month.

Based on this salary, Zaoyu probably hasn't even touched upon the core mission of the final episode.

Otherwise, if even the ninjas who are directly affiliated with the company's magistrate and whose mission is to kill people and collect intelligence are treated like this, there is really no need for everyone to continue doing this.

Paimon's cheeks puffed up, unable to refute.

She can stand up for others, but if the other party doesn't care, or even can't wait to use this opportunity to get something from the Fatui, then her standing up for them is stupid.

Ying tidied Paimeng's hair with a gentle look.

"Don't mind it, Paimon." She said softly, "She has her own life. Your kindness may be a little inappropriate to her, but kindness itself is not wrong."

Xuandong Ringo did nothing wrong.

She was used to this daily routine and felt that taking risks in exchange for intelligence was a real bargain.

This is just a choice made by both parties due to their different experiences, and Ying can understand it.

"I am somewhat interested in the cooperation of the Fatui." Yae Shinto smiled brightly.

She had probably guessed it.

This is not the first day that the Fatui have come to Inazuma. If they really wanted to trade with her, they should have come a long time ago.

In this situation, the other party probably discovered that the Heart of God is in his hands.

But when Lei Dianying gave the Heart of God to me, it didn't seem to be known to everyone, right?
Neither she nor Ying would say anything, and other people who know about it probably won’t talk about it... So, is it that bastard behind the scenes again?
"The Heart of God." The witch said, "You can offer any suitable chips. The Fatui only want the Heart of God."

This is the kind of negotiation that the executive should have done in person.

But at this moment, General Raiden's eyes were fixed on the Narukami Taisha Shrine, and these executives were hard to be sure whether anyone would intend to "attack" the Narukami Taisha Shrine once they appeared.

Then they became petty thieves who interfered in the fight between the god and his followers, and then slashed at him from the castle tower.

Not worth it.

Anyway, through some alchemical props, they can remotely control the conversation and bargaining chips, so there is no need to take risks in person.

Yae Shinto did not answer, but just glanced at Ying inconspicuously.

Another difficult problem for her.

The Fatui probably believed that the Heart of God was with her, but she couldn't say that the Heart of God had been given to Ying.

This is causing trouble for Ying.

Then she could only remain silent and acknowledge that "God's heart is still with me."

"Oh, who told you this news?" Yae Shinto looked calm, not panicking at all. "The Heart of God is the spoils of the Seven Rulings. How come it is here with me?"

"It was a man named Jiang Qing." The girl named Liudashika pursed her lips and repeated what Tartaglia emphasized, "He told the God of Thunder about your plan, and he also said that the Heart of God is in your hands."
