Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

"Exactly how many people died?"

"17 people."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan fell into deep thought. This number was indeed quite high in terms of suicides.

"...My secretary is dead too?"

"Yes……"

Seventeen people, seventeen suspected spies?

Or are some people "suicided" to cover up the truth?

To be honest, Ye Lan is now having some doubts about her initial judgment. Can a Herrscher really be so good at infiltration?

"You handled it very well."

The immediate action of sealing off the scene was absolutely correct.

Call the police?

Are you kidding me? Do you think the police have as much power as the Liyue police?

"Ye Lan, what's the situation now?"

The divine child has also arrived.

"The problem has become somewhat serious."

Ye Lan is now even praying that the other party isn't a Herrscher.

If Ye Lan infiltrated one of her secretaries, then the secretary could be interpreted as being bewitched.

Having witnessed the power of a broken skirt, some people might believe that even the most powerful and influential figures like Erlu (the "Big Three") are no match for Buffett.

thing

But the fact that seventeen people could all end their lives by suicide is quite frightening.

This can only mean control... If we take this as a conclusion, the other party probably wants to capture me alive in order to control me.

And controlling oneself, meaning the target is the Chamber of Commerce?

...This conclusion is really not something to laugh about.

"Okay, I can guess from your expression. Shall we go in and take a look?"

Yae no Miko is actually more anxious than Ye Lan right now.

They're dealing with their own boss.

"Let's go in and take a look." Ye Lan nodded and walked into the Chamber of Commerce with Ying and Shenzi, while also having the employees repeat what they had just said.

This strange incident caused both the goddess and Sakura to fall into deep thought.

Waiters, loaders, clerks... the seventeen people covered most of the professions in the chamber of commerce.

The methods of suicide are all pretty much the same—slitting one's own throat with a sharp weapon.

However, the "weapons"... because different professions have different access to them, there were varying degrees of absurdity on site.

The stench of blood at the scene was so strong that even the goddess couldn't help but cover her nose with her fan.

"...They were all undoubtedly suicides."

Even Ye Lan herself found it hard to believe the results of the autopsy.

A few of these people were on Yelan's spy list, but most were ordinary employees with clean backgrounds.

She now wishes she had misjudged the situation.

"It was done by the law enforcer."

"...It seems we can't help you for the time being."

After looking around, Yae no Miko realized that most of the clues in Ye Lan's hands had been lost.

"But I have a question. Why did the Herrscher make these people commit suicide? You didn't even notice some of them, did you?"

Even if the goal is to mislead, shouldn't you choose someone who is more suspicious or has poor interpersonal relationships?

"..."

Ye Lan fell into deep thought, and suddenly, her body trembled.

"...Perhaps it was fear."

"fear?"

"Hmm... the fear of facing the strongest—have you ever faced your general drawing his sword?"

"I don't think anyone wants to face that kind of monster."

The thought of that scene sent chills down the spine of the divine child.

With a single strike from Ying, not only would she be dead, but even their own Lord Fox Palace would be a dead fox.

Shadow may be a bit slow-witted, but his fighting skills are definitely not a problem.

Then, the divine child realized what Yelan meant.

"Wait—you mean Miss Huang Quan?"

"It seems Kujo has told you all about it. That's right, a stronger person than your general drew his sword yesterday. If that sword hadn't been swung in the air, you would be attending my funeral right now."

Huang Quan's strike was truly just an experiment; killing the Honkai creatures in front of him was incidental—Ye Lan even suspected that the strike wasn't intended for those creatures, since they didn't even meet Huang Quan's testing standards.

If they really went all out to kill, the entire village would probably be wiped out.

Does she still want to live?

I'm probably overthinking it.

The feeling Ye Lan got from that slash was—anyone who dares to block this blade shall die here!

Seeing her deceased father and such... is actually a realistic description of Ye Lan.

"You're really having a tough time... But if you put it that way, I can understand. It seems Mr. Liu Bai has been quite good to you?"

Many people were terrified by Shadow's blade, and Yae no Miko could understand this sentiment.

People who are terrified will indefinitely amplify the power of their opponents for a certain period of time. Perhaps it is because they are afraid that Huang Quan will continue to follow Ye Lan and find them that these people decisively commit suicide to cut off the clues.

"However, I think the other side is more likely to wait for an opportunity to make a comeback rather than choose to lie low."

"I think so."

After all, the other party is a Herrscher, and the destructive desire in their bones will not disappear.

It would be a big mistake to treat it like a lamb.

"And we also have to consider the possibility that they might escape... This is a huge problem."

"All we need to do is ensure the safety of the Sky Zone."

The two sides had some differences of opinion on this matter.

But this was somewhat expected.

"That's enough."

Ye Lan nodded.

"Since these people chose suicide... does that mean I can clearly find traces of Herrschers in their past? Leave this to me. I'll give you a preliminary investigation result within about a week... I also need to report this to Ningguang."

Chapter 86 My Husband's Money is Gone

"One after another..."

"What's wrong, Fox Abbot?"

Ying, who was changing the ice pack for her sister, looked at Fox Palace with some curiosity.

"There seems to be a Herrscher appearing in the Sky Dome District, and it's a rather strange type."

"The bizarre type?" Ying tilted her head. "If it's the bizarre type..."

"A clue?"

Fox Palace looked at the shadow.

"do not know."

"..."

I asked you, "Do you have any ideas?" You replied, "You're clueless, aren't you?"

}三

Okay, you're awesome.

As expected of you.

"Should we postpone it?" Ying asked, still somewhat dazed. "If it's something supernatural, I might not be able to help much."

"So you do know something, don't you?"

"do not know."

"..."

Fox Palace silently put on the V-shaped fox mask hanging on her headdress—her parents never expected that Liu Ziyi would almost be tricked by her one day.

Forget it, if Ying doesn't want to talk about it, it proves that she's really not sure, and even if she went, she wouldn't be confident of killing him.

After all, this person wouldn't joke about anything related to his sister anymore.

"In that case, let's send more people. We originally thought that three people would be more than enough to scout ahead, but it seems that it's not enough."

"Ah."

Ying simply nodded, showing no sign of actually thinking.

This person... sigh.

Fox Palace is having a bit of a headache.

…………

"Well, Lord Tianquan, the situation in the Sky Dome District is just as I described."

"I see."

Ningguang remained unmoved by Yelan's teasing remark about "Lord Tianquan".

"I admit, things have started to spiral out of control."

No, actually it was beyond Ningguang's calculation range from the very beginning.

For example, saying that aliens have arrived.

However, that was still within the range of adjustment, and Ningguang only needed to make slight adjustments to the plan.

But then one thing after another happened.

At first, she only considered the Far East Branch and the World Serpent on her chessboard.

Then, Destiny entered the scene, Anti-Entropy entered the scene, Inazuma entered the scene, and even Yelan commented that he might be the strongest alien swordsman in the world.

It must be admitted that this situation is completely beyond Ningguang's control.

To put yourself in the position of the player in a game of chess is to be reckless and court disaster.

Trading?

Half the world's spoils are here; whoever tries to take control will perish.

Ningguang now has only two choices.

Alternatively, they could withdraw, having already achieved their initial goals and secured numerous deals with the Far East branch, allowing the Chamber of Commerce to further enhance its armed forces.

Either they themselves get involved, or they have to get involved. It has to be said that Ningguang sensed the atmosphere of a great era of strife here, and the fate of the world began to turn... This is not just empty talk.

To put it bluntly, in this new situation, Ningguang has reached a point where she must choose between preserving her capital or taking a gamble.

Hey.
