"So many God's Eyes!" Paimon said in amazement. "Although I've heard of the Eye Hunting Order before coming here, it's still shocking to see so many God's Eyes inlaid together! There must be at least a hundred of them!"

Ying also looked at the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue. Is this Inazuma's Eye Hunting Order? Then what purpose did the Thunder God have in mind when he issued such an order?

Ying, who has traveled to two countries, is not a novice who has just woken up and does not know most of the things in this world. Naturally, he knows the importance of the Eye of God to the holder. If the "desire" reaches the extreme, the Eye of God will be obtained, but if the Eye of God is taken away, then will the "desire" still exist? Although Ying does not have the Eye of God, and does not know what will happen if the Eye of God is taken away, it is presumed that most of the holders of the Eye of God will not willingly hand it over.

On Beidou's ship, Ying heard Kaedehara Manye mention that the reason he left Inazuma was because his friend challenged General Raiden to a duel in order to stop the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order, and was defeated and killed by General Raiden's Wuxiang's sword. When Kaedehara Manye arrived, he could only take away his friend's extinguished Eye of God and escape.

"There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the might of thunder. This was his wish, and he died with his wish. I have traveled all over the place trying to relight his divine eye, but to no avail. One day, when I can face that thoughtless blow as calmly as he did, perhaps there will be new changes."

This is what Maplebara Manye said when I was chatting with her on the boat.

Ignoring the wishes of the people and taking away their wishes is completely different from Mondstadt's always hungover Jiumengzi and Liyue's always idle gods. Perhaps, he is similar to Xumi, the stubborn little auspicious grass king?

Ying opened her mouth and asked, "Thomas, what do you think of the Thunder God?"

"My hometown is Mondstadt, and most people respect the Wind God Barbatos. However, the attitude of most people in Inazuma towards the General is different. How should I put it... In addition to love and gratitude, it seems that there is also some fear."

Fear... No matter whether it is Inazuma or Liyue that Ying has visited before, he has never seen anyone who is afraid of the gods of his own country... He feels more and more like the little Auspicious Grass King, except that his situation is much milder than Xumi.

Ying muttered quietly, "It sounds like it's difficult to communicate."

Ying's whisper was heard by Thomas, who asked: "By the way, I heard that the purpose of your coming to Inazuma is to see the general, right?"

"Yeah." Paimon answered for Ying, "But we are worried about how to meet the Thunder God. Thomas, do you have any good ideas?"

Thomas immediately patted his chest and said, "You have asked the right person. As the community minister, I have a way to introduce you to General Lei Dian, but it is not something that can be done immediately. Before that, I will arrange accommodation for you. I will also send someone to inquire about the Amber you mentioned."

Ying nodded, as expected of the local boss of Inazuma. This way, a lot of trouble could be saved. After meeting Thor, he would go find Amber.

Ying and Paimon left here with some doubts.

During this period of time, Ying was not idle. He got to know Kamisato Ayaka, the eldest daughter of the town magistrate Kamisato's family. On the way to inquire about Amber's news, he met a person who lost his dream and became confused because the Eye of God was taken away. He also got to know the current owner of the Naganohara fireworks shop, Yoshimiya, and helped Yoshimiya sneak into the town magistrate's office to rescue Master Masakatsu who made the fake Eye of God. He also met the shogunate general Kujo Sara, but Kujo Sara finally let everyone go.

On the way back with Paimon, Ying became more aware of the dangers of the Eye Hunting Order. Although he had never seen the so-called eternity of Thor, the crisis and urgency it brought to the people of Inazuma were real.

Paimon muttered, "I didn't expect that Kujo Sara seemed so reasonable. Oh, if only that Thunder General could be so reasonable. But I heard that the people of Tianling Bugyo are going to hold a ceremony tomorrow. Oh? Traveler, do you feel a little cold?"

It seemed as if a cold wind was blowing, and Paimeng shivered. He looked towards Ying beside him, but saw that Ying had a serious look in his eyes, took out a one-handed sword and made a defensive posture, and in the distance, stood a frosty figure.

"Eula Lawrence."

Ying read out the other party's name. The face-to-face tragedy of the Lawrence clan in Mond was also the culprit that made Amber so radical in pursuing power.

"That was my old name. Now I am an executive officer of the Fatui, ma'am."

Eula corrected with a cold expression.

Ying frowned. As expected, Eula joined the Fatui and replaced the original lady's position. The Fatui's executive officer appeared in Inazuma... Was he here for the Heart of Thunder God?

Then why did you appear in front of me at this time?

Ying asked loudly: "What do you want to do?"

"Just passing by, and..."

The figure standing in front of Ying disappeared, and the biting cold seemed to stick to her skin.

"Such a voice only proves your weakness."

Just take action?

Ying swung at Eula who was approaching her, but Eula dodged easily and stood on a tree in the road. She actually looked down at Ying and had no intention of chasing her anymore.

This guy……

"I heard that you were looking around for news about Amber."

Eula's words made Ying, who was about to continue, stop.

Ying and Eula looked at each other and said firmly, "Well, I will find Amber and bring her back to Mondstadt!"

"It doesn't make any sense." Eula said coldly, "I spared her life because she was still very weak at that time. When she becomes strong enough and has enough power, she will appear in front of me again and have a reason to be killed. At that time, in order to prove my magnanimity, I will kill her without mercy."

Eula's expression did not fluctuate, as if she was stating a fact.

"She will die sooner or later. It's meaningless to bring her back. Just give up."

"I won't give up!" Ying raised her voice and glared at Eula, "I'm different from you. Amber is my friend. I will definitely find her and bring her back safely! I won't let you hurt her!"

A real...friend?

"is it?"

The air around them seemed to become even colder. The two men confronted each other and it seemed that they might fight at any time.

“Forget it.” Eula retracted her aura, “You are not the target of the Fatui, and I am just passing by here. There is no point in fighting with you.”

Having said that, Eula turned around and walked away alone.

Is she leaving?

Ying's eyes fluctuated, and she kept thinking in her heart, should she take action and stay?

Ying was not completely sure that she could keep Eula. Although she had never fought with Eula, based on the strength of the young master, there was no weakling who could become an executive officer.

So do you want to take action?

"Amber is on Bayun Island. She will appear in front of me sooner or later. You can't stop her. I just need to wait quietly in the city."

The sound of Eula leaving reached Ying's ears.

"what?"

Ying's eyes widened.

Amber...is she really also in Inazuma?

"Hey!"

Ying wanted to call out to Youla, but Youla didn't answer and just left on her own.

"Eula! Why did you do that in Mondstadt? What on earth do you want to do to Amber?!"

Eula still didn't reply. Ying hesitated for a moment, but in the end didn't do anything, letting Eula's back disappear from his sight.

"Phew... I was scared to death!" He waited until Eula had completely left Paimon before he dared to show up. "It's scary that she showed up all of a sudden. At this time, the young master seemed to be much more docile, saying some inexplicable things... Did she really just pass by?"

Paimon guessed, "And they actually said that Amber is on Bayin Island? Is that true? Are they trying to scare us? Bayin Island is far away from Ming Shen Island. Are they deliberately luring us away so that the Fatui can do something bad?"

"I'm not sure, but now that I have news about Amber, I won't let it go even if it's fake."

And...I feel like Eula didn't lie.

Why did she say such things at the end... Although she said she wanted to kill Amber, she told me the news about Amber, as if she wanted me to find Amber in advance and take Amber away, away from Inazuma, which was a dangerous place.

Eula... You didn't want to do anything to Amber? So why did it turn out like this?

This is definitely not a coincidence.

Ying always felt that there seemed to be some hidden secret, but no matter what, she should find Amber first to prevent Amber from making the same mistake again.

"Well, let's wait until we meet General Lei Dian before going to Bayun Island. I don't know how Thomas is preparing. It's a bit late today. Let's go find Thomas tomorrow."

Ying went back with Paimeng with strange thoughts in mind.

The next day, Ying and Paimon went to the Mulou Teahouse to talk to Thomas about how the introduction of Thor was going. When they arrived at the Mulou Teahouse, they found that the teahouse was unusually quiet, and only Taromaru, a dog, was left at the bar at the entrance.

"Strange, why is it so quiet today? It's totally different from usual. Where is Thomas?" Paimon tried calling Thomas several times, but no one responded except for Taromaru's impatient barking. After a while, Kamisato Ayaka also walked into the tea room and asked the two anxiously, "Have you seen Thomas?"

"Huh?" Paimon asked in confusion, "I thought Thomas was with you. I was wondering how Thomas would introduce us to the God of Thunder."

"Oh no! On my way here, I heard that Thomas was captured by the Tenryo Bugyo. I couldn't tell if the news was true or not, so I ran over to confirm it. If Thomas is not here, then the rumor is probably true." Kamisato Ayaka continued, "General Raiden will hold a ceremony to hunt the 100th God's Eye in front of the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed statue, and the holder of the 100th God's Eye... who is about to be publicly hunted, is probably... Thomas."

Paimon stared in surprise: "Huh?"

Kamisato Ayaka recalled and thought: "The general and the people of Tianling will prepare the hunting ceremony for the 100th Eye of God to prove the interim results of the Eye Hunting Order... No, I must go save him!"

Ying Zhang opened his mouth and said, "You also represent the Shebuxing. If you go there in person, wouldn't it mean that the Shebuxing and General Lei Dian are enemies?"

Paimon nodded his head: "Yeah, if we openly rebel against the gods, the ordinary people in charge of the society will also be implicated, right?"

"But... time is running out. The Eye Hunting Ceremony is about to begin. He is my friend. I can't give up Thomas..."

"Thomas is also my friend." Ying said decisively at this time, "He is also my friend, so I will go and save him."

"But……"

"You just said that time is running out, right? General Raiden is also there, which was my purpose in the first place."

Ying wanted to finish things here as soon as possible and go find Amber.

"Well... I understand. I will wait for you to return safely and do the aftermath work. You must be careful."

"Don't worry, Linghua." Ying said solemnly, "This concerns the life of a friend, and I don't want to lose another friend. Just think of this as Thomas introducing me to the Thunder God."

Although this method of recommendation is... somewhat unique.

-

In front of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed God statue, the weather became gloomy, dark clouds filled the sky, and flashes of lightning appeared from time to time.

When Ying rushed over and squeezed into the crowd, she saw Thomas kneeling in front of the statue with his hands tied behind his back. Two soldiers were guarding Thomas on his left and right. Apart from them, Ying's eyes were looking towards the side of the statue, at the highest point.

There, was a woman with long purple braids, exuding an inexplicable aura.

The undisputed ruler of all Inazuma, the Great Palace of the Lord of Narukami, symbolizing the eternity of Narukami, the General of Thunder, and Baalzebub.

This was the first time Ying actually saw General Lei Dian.

Paimon muttered quietly, "Is this the God of Thunder? He seems to have quite aura!"

"Humph."

Among the crowd of onlookers, there were disdainful voices that no one could hear or know who made them.

It's time for the Eye Hunting Ceremony.

General Lei Dian stretched out his hand towards Thomas who was kneeling below. The lightning leaped with joy, and the fire-attributed divine eye hanging on Thomas' waist broke free from Thomas' body and flew into the hands of General Lei Dian.

Can't wait any longer!

Ying jumped out of the crowd, using the thunder elemental power obtained from touching the statue of Inazuma Nanatsuma, and increased her speed to intercept Thomas's Eye of God.

General Lei Dian looked at Ying quietly, who seemed to turn into lightning and rush forward, as if he remembered something.

"what?"

There were cries of surprise from the crowd, as if no one thought that someone would dare to do such a thing at this time. The soldier next to Thomas reacted and wanted to capture Ying, but Ying easily knocked him down. He quickly walked to Thomas and wanted to untie the rope behind him.

The lightning bullet hit Ying's sword to stop Ying's actions. Ying looked towards the platform of the statue and saw General Thunder and Lightning walking down the platform.

"You don't need the Eye of God to drive elemental forces... You are an 'exception'." General Lei Dian has walked down. "'Exceptions' are eternal enemies."

General Lei Dian opened his arms, lightning emerged from his body, and his whole body floated up. Along with the purple lightning, the hilt inlaid with the Eye of God slowly emerged from General Lei Dian's chest.

General Lei Dian grasped the hilt of the knife and pulled it out.

"I will build you into a statue of God!"

Chapter 88 Heart Sea: Energy is about to be lost

Pull a weapon from your chest?

Ying seemed to feel familiar with this scene. The scene in Liyue appeared in her mind. The guy who claimed to be the reserve executive officer of the Fatui also took something out of his chest. It turned out that there were other people in this world who could pull out weapons from their chests!

Ying learned something new again... If only the other party wasn't going to attack her.

As soon as we meet, you'll stab me... Wait, where have I heard this before? Master Hu, Master Hu, your words are so true.

Ying had a toothache. Although she had prepared for the worst before coming here, she didn't want to really fight with the gods if possible.

"I……"

Ying had just opened her mouth when General Lei Dian swung the knife in his hand in front of her. In Ying's sight, the sky and the earth became dark. When they returned to normal, she was already in another space. A blood moon rose in the upper half of the dim red sky, and crimson torii emerged from the ground, creating a strange world.

What's the situation?
