I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

After all, if he didn't admit it, and Raiden Mei and Bronya didn't sell him out, who would know?

Although I don't care about this, if Theresa finds out at this stage, I'll definitely have to fight her.

Although she couldn't beat herself, fighting Theresa always felt like bullying a child.

It would be great if Theresa could grow up a bit more, then she could fight and be effective at both.

"Well……"

Theresa realized this was indeed a problem. She had been searching for so many days without finding a single person or any clues.

"Let's search until the last day. If it doesn't work, we'll go back. You guys help me search too!"

Li Xiao, Bronya, and Raiden Mei exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Okay, we'll help you find that person!"

Once the decision was made, everyone went their separate ways.

However, perhaps among these people, only Theresa would seriously look for someone.

Kiana didn't care about such things at all; she just wanted to stick close to Raiden Mei and go shopping together.

The other three knew who they were looking for, and they only went out to make a show of it.

"By the way, did I forget something?"

Li Xiao walked down the street, casually looking around at the things around him, and suddenly felt as if he had missed something.

But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember anything.

"Never mind, most things I can't remember aren't important."

Meanwhile, at one of Anti-Entropy's bases...

"Ji Ni is so beautiful! Oh~ baby~"

"I only smoke Rick's Five..."

"In 1997, I learned to drive a car. Going uphill and downhill, I ran over more than a thousand people..."

Various abstract musical phrases were amplified and reproduced by the instruments nearby, attempting to trace the source of this information.

With blue hair and dressed in overalls, Einstein was watching the data intently, his hands rapidly manipulating the instruments.

"You messy hair! Are you done yet?! I really can't take it anymore!"

Tesla simply stood aside, watching her movements, urging her on impatiently.

It wasn't that she didn't want to help Einstein; it was just that she was in a really bad state right now.

Her eyes were now sunken, her pupils were bloodshot, and her hair was a mess; she was more suited to the nickname "bird's nest" than Einstein.

Ever since that inexplicable message came from some bastard, she has been surrounded by these abstract voices.

At first, she couldn't even sleep, and she couldn't concentrate, let alone study these strange things.

But things are better now; she's gotten a little used to it and can barely fall asleep while listening to these things.

But she still didn't have the energy to do any research, so she could only let Einstein do the work.

And Einstein did not disappoint her expectations.

Although the time was too short, it was not possible to analyze what kind of energy it was or how to shut down the sounds.

But yesterday she developed a device that can use this energy to conduct a small-scale search to find locations with the same energy.

However, no reaction of the same energy was found yesterday.

Despite Tesla's urging, Einstein's expression remained unchanged.

"Don't worry, the instrument seems to have detected a response and is currently locating it."

After she finished speaking, the instrument reacted, and the coordinates of a location appeared on the display screen.

"This is... He's in Changkong City!"

At this moment, Li Xiao suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up in one direction.

"Heh~ I was wondering what I forgot, turns out it was Dr. Crayfish."

"We'll set off immediately once we find him! I'm going to teach that guy a lesson!"

"Wait a minute! Something doesn't seem right!"

As Einstein looked at the data displayed on the instrument, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"His energy level actually surpasses that of a Herrscher!"

Tesla's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and he quickly looked at the data, only to be startled himself.

"How is this possible! There's clearly no trace of Honkai energy. How could someone possess such a high level of energy?"

"Hello you all!"

Suddenly, they felt a hand on one of their shoulders, and at the same time, a man's voice came from behind them.

This situation terrified them so much that their hearts stopped and they broke out in a cold sweat.

Without any hesitation, Einstein conjured a turret in mid-air and fired a laser beam at them from behind.

Then she pulled the Tesla and rolled it to the ground, retreating to the side passage.

"Did you finish it?"

Tesla turned around nervously, looking at the smoke-filled scene.

Why is there smoke? Isn't it supposed to be a laser?

"That's such a warm greeting."

Li Xiao suddenly appeared on their only route, leaning against the wall, as if he had been waiting for them there all along.

The two stopped running away instantly.

Einstein calmed down and asked:

"Who are you? We don't think we've offended you."

"But weren't you spying on me just now?"

"You're that bastard?!"

Tesla immediately realized what was happening.

"Oh? You jerk? Miss Tesla seems a bit impolite."

"I'm being impolite! I'm being a jerk! Turn these sounds off right now!"

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Having endured these days of torment, she no longer cared about anything else and began to hurl insults at Li Xiao.

However, Einstein remained rational and quickly stopped her from continuing her rant.

"Please forgive me, Tesla is just not thinking clearly because he hasn't been able to rest well these days."

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Li Xiao's eyes.

After all, forgetting about Tesla was indeed a dishonest thing he did.

He waved his hand at Tesla, shutting down the sound around her.

Tesla felt strangely unaccustomed to the sudden silence around him, the absence of those abstract sounds.

This startled Tesla, who quickly shook his head, banishing those terrifying thoughts.

“I have no ill intentions toward you, and you don’t need to be so wary of me.”

Einstein, observing Li Xiao's actions and Tesla's changing expression, roughly knew that Tesla's situation had been resolved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"We understand. We were the ones who spyed first this time. Please accept our apology."

Although they didn't do anything wrong in this matter. After all, if Li Xiao hadn't put pressure on Tesla, they wouldn't have gone to find him.

But the situation is beyond their control now. They knew from the previous probes that the opponent's strength was no match for them, so they had no choice but to admit their mistake.

"It's okay. The main responsibility for this is mine. I heard Tesla cursing at me before, so I added something to it, but I forgot about it in the end, and she had to endure the noise for so long."

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Are you willing to work for me?

Einstein never expected Li Xiao to be so easy to talk to.

But this is for the best, because it means she and Tesla should be safe for the time being.

Little did she know that being targeted by Li Xiao might not endanger their lives, but it would put their chastity in grave danger.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, if you have nothing else to do, we'll be leaving now."

With that, Einstein grabbed Tesla and prepared to make a run for it.

"Wait a minute, you can't leave yet."

The two people who were about to leave froze and stopped in their tracks.

"You bastard, you still don't want to let us go, do you! Damn it, I can't take this anymore, believe me or not, I'll blow you up!"

Tesla shook off Einstein's hand, turned around, and shouted.

"Dr. Tesla, please don't be hasty. I don't intend to do anything to you. I just want to ask if you are willing to work for me?"

"Huh? What stupid thing are you talking about..."

Einstein quickly covered Tesla's mouth and then asked Li Xiao a question.

Why did you suddenly invite us?

"I admire you all. You are all very talented scientists, and I may need you in the future."

Of course, that's one aspect. Another aspect is that he really likes the arrogant Dr. Lobster and the aloof Einstein.

Einstein thought for a moment, preparing to verbally agree first and then take the opportunity to escape.

But before she could even open her mouth, Li Xiao stopped her.
