Lu Sheng stretched himself and said self-deprecatingly, "Strange, why am I reciting poetry for no reason? This isn't the Gu World."
After washing his face, Lu Sheng prepared to go to the Knights to see how Qin's preparations were going. As he reached the door, he stopped and turned around. He didn't know when there was suddenly one more person in the house.
Thunder Warlock.
"Do you want to be spanked for breaking into someone's home without permission?"
"Hehe~ You have to catch me first. Something big happened last night. The lady wants you to come over and talk in person."
"What happened?"
"Don't worry about it. You'll know when you get there. Remember not to be seen by others. I don't need to teach you this, right?"
The sorcerer Lei Ying delivered the message and without even a moment's pause, she disappeared in front of Lu Sheng in a flash.
Lu Sheng felt very unhappy.
The reason for being unhappy is that someone can easily enter and exit my resting place, which is absolutely intolerable.
After all, people can adapt to circumstances and resist when they are awake, but they are extremely vulnerable when they are asleep. Even a child with a knife can easily kill a sleeping person.
I have been in a dangerous environment for such a long time from last night until now. It’s really scary when I think about it.
It's not a bad thing to be more careful. This place is definitely not suitable for living in anymore.
I have to go to the lady's place as soon as possible. There is no doubt that it is about Zamenhof. He died right after meeting me. It would be strange if the lady didn't suspect me. If I don't go, it would be tantamount to admitting my crime.
He packed up all his things, left his residence, disguised himself and went to the Goethe Hotel.
"The lady is upstairs, please."
Under the guidance of the waiter, Lu Sheng came to the room on the second floor. When he opened the door, a unique and elegant fragrance of the nobility wafted into his nose.
The lady was wearing a red nightgown made of thin silk, lying on her side on the sofa, with her fluffy long golden hair casually draped over her shoulders.
Because the bust is too large, the upper part of the pajamas is propped up, and the clothes become tight at the waistline, sticking closely to the lower abdomen, making the lines of the entire lower abdomen faintly visible, and becoming more obvious with every breath the woman takes.
"come on."
The lady looked up and glanced at the road, then reached out to take the coffee brought by the maid, sat up straight, and took a sip.
"What's wrong? You called me over right after I woke up."
Lu Sheng walked up to the lady and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
The lady's brows revealed a trace of disgust, "Who told you to sit? You made my sofa dirty."
"Then I'll go?"
Lu Sheng pretended to get up and leave.
"Sit down! I have something to ask you."
The lady put down her coffee and asked, "Last night I asked my debt collector to meet you, but he died suddenly after meeting you. Do you have any clue about this matter?"
"Dead?!" Lu Sheng widened his eyes, looking incredulous, "Then...what about the Sky Harp? Could it have been stolen?"
"The Sky Harp is in my hands. Last night, the debt collector returned the Sky Harp and immediately left. He never came back. This morning, someone found him dead a few dozen meters away from the Goethe Hotel."
"Oh! I thought it was no big deal. As long as the piano is still there... Wait! What do you mean? Are you doubting me?"
The lady snorted coldly. "This man has been working for the Fatui for nearly ten years and has never made any mistakes. Why did he die immediately after meeting you last night? This is really suspicious."
"That's bullshit! I don't even know him, what's the benefit of killing him? Besides, although it's not a problem for me to kill a debt collector, it's definitely not that easy. How can I kill him quietly in the dead of night?"
Indeed, the lady had already sent for an autopsy on Zamenhof.
The autopsy report showed that Zamenhof was attacked from the front and seriously injured with one blow. Zamenhof managed to escape but eventually died from excessive blood loss.
It is true that Zaimenhof did not know Lu Sheng, and if they were face to face, even if Lu Sheng attacked him by surprise, it would be impossible for Zaimenhof to be seriously injured instantly.
In this way, Lu Sheng can indeed be ruled out as a suspect, but a new question arises: when did such a master appear in Mondstadt?
"Okay, since you doubt me, then I'm done. If I can't stay here, I'll find another place to stay. The 700,000 Mora will be used as the money to buy the piano. From now on, we owe each other nothing. I'm leaving!"
Lu Sheng was filled with anger and turned away.
"Stop!" The lady stood up from the sofa in an instant. "Someone has died, so of course I have to investigate. Questioning you is just a procedure. I have ruled out your suspicion. Are you satisfied now?"
"The Fatui is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Once you join, there is no other way to quit except death. Go back and continue to monitor the Knights' every move. Now that we have the Lyra in hand, we will take action soon. If the Knights have any major moves, remember to report to me in time."
"Zamenhof is dead, and there is no one to replace him for the time being. When this is over, you will be the next debt handler."
Lu Sheng waved his hand without looking back, "Got it."
I didn't expect that I could clear myself of suspicion so easily. It seems that my acting skills are still very strong.
With his back to the lady, Lu Sheng left the room, suppressing his laughter.
“Ah? It’s you!!”
As soon as I went downstairs, I heard a scream, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps approaching rapidly.
Lu Sheng's ears twitched slightly, and he leaned sideways and backward to avoid the sneak attack from behind.
Anastasia's fist missed and she lost her balance and fell forward, hitting her head on the pillar with a bang.
"Ouch! It hurts! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
Anastasia, with tears in her eyes, threw herself at Lu Sheng again.
"You want to get beaten again, huh?"
As soon as Lu Sheng raised his hand, Anastasia trembled all over, put her hands on her head and shrank back.
"what happened?"
A lady's voice was heard upstairs, and hearing the noise downstairs, she had to come out to see what was going on.
"My lady! He! He is the one who stole my evil eye! And he wanted to defile me! You must seek justice for me!"
When Anastasia saw the lady, she seemed to have found a backer, and her voice suddenly became much louder.
"How dare you!" the girl said angrily, "As a counselor, how can you behave like this? Why don't you get back to work?"
"I know...I know..."
Finding that the lady was not on her side, Anastasia had to swallow her anger, glared at Lu Sheng resentfully, and walked away in shame.
"Be careful when you leave, don't reveal your identity."
The lady threw a mask to Lu Sheng and turned back into the room.
Lu Sheng put away his mask and left the Goethe Hotel through the back door. He was about to go to the Knights to check on the situation. When he passed the market, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Ah! Paimon is not a commodity! You are not allowed to sell Paimon!"
Hmm? Is this an auditory hallucination? Why is there Hakimon's voice?
Not sure, go back and take a look.
Lu Sheng turned around and walked into the market, where he saw a vendor arguing with a UFO.
"I picked you up, I can do whatever I want with you!"
"Mmmmmm!! No no no no no!"
Paimon stamped his feet in anger.
"You good-for-nothing! Ever since I found you, you've been eating up all the money I made from my business every day! If I keep raising you any longer, I'll go fucking bankrupt! I'm going to sell you today no matter what!"
"Boss, what is this? How much is one pound?"
Lu Sheng walked up to the stall and asked.
"Hey! Sir! You've come just in time! I picked this thing up outside not long ago. When I saw it, it was picking up garbage to eat. I felt sorry for it, so I took it home and raised it as a pet. I didn't expect that this thing was so good at eating. It ate me to death! If you are interested, you can take it away for 100 Mora!"
"Aaaaaah! Paimon is only worth 100 Mora!!"
"Shut up, Paimon! Don't ruin my good thing!"
The vendor cursed loudly, then smiled at Lu Sheng and said, "If you don't like it, 80 Moras will do. Although this thing is a waste, it is not completely useless. When you are really bored, you can use it to relieve your boredom!"
"Can I inspect the goods?" Lu Sheng asked.
If I remember correctly, Paimon seems to have the ability of time series. If I can refine it, I might be able to unlock a new skill tree.
"Hey hey hey! What are you doing? Don't touch Paimon!"
Lu Sheng reached out and pinched Paimon's little face.
[Ding! Unknown elemental force detected, conversion is starting...]
[Your comprehensive level is low and cannot be converted temporarily. Please improve your comprehensive level and try again. ]
It really can!
But what is the comprehensive level? It can’t be the big world level.
The system is also blocking me from breaking through levels?
What kind of skills would be unlocked if I had the power of time...slow time? Or stop time?
If one really had these skills, wouldn't that mean one would no longer be a human being in the continent of Teyvat?
"Boss, I bought it. 80 Mora, right? Here you go."
"Hehehe! Okay!" The boss took the money with a smile, grabbed Paimeng by the scruff of the neck and handed it to Lu Sheng.
Mondstadt: Chapter 18: You Chase Me, I Chase You
"I bought you. From now on, I am your master."
"Uh! Paimon is no one's slave! Paimon is a free elf!"
Paimon said to Lu Sheng angrily with his hands on his hips, then turned around and tried to run away.
Lu Sheng didn't chase after her, just turned around and walked away.
Paimeng had just flown a short distance when he heard a faint voice behind him: "Madam, give me two skewers of barbecued meat, one portion of sweet flower-stuffed chicken, one portion of lotus seafood soup, one portion of white sauce vegetable stewed meat, and one portion of hot meat sauce noodles. Eat here."
As soon as Lu Sheng sat down, he saw Paimon appearing in the seat opposite him.
"Eh? Didn't you run away? Free Hakimon."
"Hehe...Free Paimon has no food to eat..."
Paimon turned around awkwardly.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "I gave you a chance to be free, but you refused to leave. So you accept me as your master?"
"What else can I do? After all, you bought me with your own money."
"Then we have to make three rules. First, you have to address me as your master. Second, you have to do whatever I tell you to do. Third, I'll take care of your food and drink, but you have to stand guard for me when I sleep. Fourth... I haven't thought about it yet, we'll talk about it later."
Paimeng retorted unhappily, "We have three rules! How come there is a fourth one?"
Lu Sheng flicked his finger on Paimon's little head, "The first rule of the master-servant code is not to contradict the master."
"Um... it's the master..."
"Okay, let's eat first. These are all yours."
"Wow! Really? There are so many delicious dishes! Awoo! Awoo! Muamuamuamua! Delicious! Really delicious!"
Seeing Paimon wolfing down everything on the table, Lu Sheng was shocked even though he was mentally prepared.
What kind of family can endure eating like this?
It turns out there's a reason why Huangmao is still so poor after completing so many missions. Who the hell can stand having Kog'Maw by his side?
Fortunately, I have a savings of 700,000 Mora, otherwise it would be a problem to provide food for this ancestor.
"Madam, please serve some more food so she can eat her fill."
"Hehe! Thank you, Master!"
"You're welcome. It's better to eat it after it's fattened up."
"Eh? What do you mean by fattening yourself up before eating?"
"It's okay, just eat your food. I told you, if you follow me, you'll be full and you won't starve."
After the big meal, Paimon lay on the dining table with a big belly, his face full of satisfaction and happiness.
I haven't eaten so full in a long, long time!
