Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

Li Qingping can keep up with salsa, swing and even niche dances like polka.

Keqing is completely out of ideas.

The attention of everyone present was also drawn to this strange couple who looked like a young couple.

In public, you young people are having fun!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qingping quickly pulled Keqing away from the dance floor.

"Aren't you quite good at it!" Keqing took a glass of ice water from a passing waiter and poured it into her mouth, panting.

“This is my first time jumping, too.”

Li Qingping did not lie, it was indeed his first time outside.

God knows why one day Lei Dianzhen suddenly became obsessed with dancing. He placed a mirror in his consciousness space and forced him to practice dancing.

All of his skills, whether martial arts or dancing, were thanks to Lei Dianzhen.

"Heh!" Keqing sneered. She didn't believe it.

Li Qingping waved his hand and said nothing more.

Because of this dance, he touched Keqing's upper body almost all over. Let's just forget about it, then.

"Where do we start investigating?" Keqing asked, biting the straw.

"Find an opportunity to visit Alyosha's office, you might get something out of it," said Li Qingping.

While the two were chatting, a tall man and woman came towards them.

The woman wore a witch's hat, a black crown-shaped mask, a black and white long dress, and a red striped cloak with black velvet on her sleeves. She had a plump figure.

The man looks younger because he is wearing a cartoon mask, a gray suit and trousers, and a red scarf hanging on his chest that flutters in the wind when he walks, giving him a very middle school-like feeling.

"You dance very well! It's rare to see a couple with such good dancing skills. Let me introduce myself, my name is Gongzi!" The man introduced himself as Gongzi.

According to the rules that Li Qingping knew, in the masquerade club, everyone did not use their real names but instead took a code name.

"We're not a couple!" Keqing was like a jumping cat, her fur instantly exploded. "His name is Shrimp Ball!"

"Then you can just call him Jinsi." Li Qingping continued smoothly.

"Haha, golden shrimp balls, you two are really a perfect match!" The young man laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. "Madam, don't you think so too?"

At this time, Keqing was pulling Li Qingping's sleeve, angrily asking him why he named herself Jinsi. Li Qingping helplessly explained that it was just something he said casually.

And the golden shrimp balls are really delicious, aren’t they?

The woman addressed as Madam glanced at the two's intimate behavior indifferently, and the corners of her indifferent mouth relaxed a little: "Madam, I hope you have fun. But I have a piece of advice. Leave here early today."

After saying that, the lady took the young man away.

"What do you think of the shrimp balls?" After walking away, the young man asked the lady next to him.

"If you want to fight, don't pick today. We are here to find the traitor." The lady returned to her indifference, as if the tenderness she had briefly displayed before was just an illusion.

"He's amazing! Trust my intuition, it's spot on!" The young master was extremely excited. "Let's finish off Alyosha quickly!"

"Wait a minute." The lady looked back at Li Qingping and Keqing who were still arguing about the name behind her, and chose to refuse without hesitation.

"Hey! This isn't your style, Lady, the Eighth of the Eleventh Executive Officers of the Fatui!"

"Is stealth your style? Your Excellency, 'Young Master,' the last of the Eleven Executive Officers of the Fatui."

PS: Tickets coming!!

Volume 1: 23. Work Needs

"Those two have gone far away, Miss, please stop acting with me."

After confirming that the two people behind him had disappeared, Li Qingping spoke.

"You saw that all along?" Keqing snorted. Li Qingping couldn't tell whether her anger was genuine or not. "Also! I'm your senior, so please be respectful!"

She slapped the back of Li Qingping's hand and turned to walk to the other side.

Li Qingping followed and began to wander around the dance floor.

"Okay, Senior Sister Jinsi," Li Qingping said jokingly, "I can't tell who that 'lady' is, but the other 'young master' is probably a martial artist, so he's got something."

"Brother Shrimp Ball, your eyesight is remarkable." Keqing's expression grew serious. "Do you know the eleven executive officers under the Queen of Winter?"

“I heard it’s very powerful.”

"The code names for the eighth and eleventh seats are Lady and Young Master, respectively."

Li Qingping raised his eyebrows: "The man just now looked like a person from Zhidong."

He is quite powerful, a native of Zhidong, and he also reported the code name "Young Master".

The people we met before were most likely the executives of Zhidong, and there might even be two of them!

"So I'm also very curious, what are the executive officers doing in Liyue? As far as I know, the executive officers only obey the orders of the Ice Queen, and there is no subordinate relationship between them." Keqing frowned and thought, but her eyes wandered around, and she did not neglect the matter of catching spies.

"Are you familiar with the background of Northland Bank?" Li Qingping asked.

"It's a financial institution run by the Kingdom of Winter, but everyone knows making money is secondary. The North Country Bank is actually the official intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Winter. What you mean is..."

"Alyoshka was once a high-ranking executive at Northland Bank. Shortly after leaving office, two executives arrived at his masquerade club. Sister Lan's intelligence indicates there are spies from Solstice here. There aren't that many coincidences in this world."

Li Qingping hadn't stated his conclusion yet, but Keqing already understood what he meant.

"Either these spies are here to keep an eye on Alyosha, or Alyosha himself is a spy!"

She lowered her voice, but could not hide the shock in her heart.

Because no matter which possibility it is, these two Solstice Executors will only go after Alyosha!

"I'll call for help!" Keqing quickly gave up. "No, the Young Master is the official ambassador sent by the Kingdom of Winter to Liyue. We can't act rashly without evidence."

But there are two executive officers here now, and they can't be stopped without a big commotion.

"We can only rely on the two of us. Have you figured out the layout here?" Li Qingping asked.

"The storefront outside is actually a scam. Alyosha rented all the houses in this row, connected them up from the inside, and finally built such a large club for these people to have fun." Keqing said.

"Wouldn't that be more complicated?"

"That's not a problem for me. The dance floor is just a cover, just an excuse to get people in here. The real shady stuff happens up there." Keqing pointed upstairs. "I've checked. Apart from the three large entrances to the dance floor, there are only two suspicious places."

Keqing pointed to the doors on both sides of the dance floor. Although no one was guarding them, they were locked and there was no way to get through without a key.

"If I were to design it, the left side would most likely be the staff accommodations, and going up from the right side would be the core area of ​​this masquerade club." Keqing finished her analysis and turned to ask, "What about you? Do you have a way to get in?"

Keqing is worthy of the title of Holy Body of Earth and Wood, so Li Qingping naturally nodded to indicate that there is no problem.

"That'll be easy."

Keqing came over and said a few words to Li Qingping, and then the two separated and disappeared into the crowd.

Ten minutes later, the lights on the dance floor suddenly went out, the music stopped abruptly, the room was plunged into darkness, and the crowd burst into exclamations.

"power cut?"

"What the hell is going on with the power outage? Liyue City hasn't had a power outage in over ten years!"

"Whoever's in charge, come up with a solution. Hey, stop squeezing me!"

The commotion lasted about a minute before the lights in the house came back on.

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie hurried to the center of the dance floor, claiming to be the manager, and apologized to everyone.

The intelligent circuit breaker in the distribution room tripped and there was a problem with the backup circuit, but it has been repaired now, so please don't panic.

This explanation was quite satisfactory, so everyone continued to play music and dance.

Since he is a civil engineering saint, it is not surprising that he can easily find the distribution room.

With the Thunder-attributed Eye of God, it would be reasonable to cause some minor damage.

In the ladies' room, Keqing, who had completed her task, was playing with a hairpin in one hand, staring down at the phone on her skirt. A message from Li Qingping was displayed on the screen.

"Successful infiltration."

……

……

……

"How did you open the door in such a short time, in the dark?"

"key."

Li Qingping didn't type very fast and only replied to Keqing with two words.

The Fang of Osel now transformed into a torrent, wrapping around his wrist.

It was simple. Li Qingping simply turned the Tooth of Osel into a fluid that invaded the lock core, forcibly driving the mechanical mechanism to open the door.

How about it, can you learn it in one go?

"Then you're invincible!"

This message was followed by an animated picture of a cat boxing, which made Li Qingping smile.

"Jinsi, please stay here and wait for Shrimp Ball's instructions."

"go to hell!"

Li Qingping didn't even look at what Keqing replied and just put away his phone.

Once you enter the door, you'll see more surveillance inside than outside.

But fortunately, the cameras were all installed on the road leading deep into the building, and Li Qingping was not planning to go there.

He stuck to the wall and carefully felt his way to a corner.

This is a dead end, but there is another secret above the head. There is a ventilation duct above, and the entrance is screwed shut with several screws.

The Civil Engineering Saint Body told Li Qingping that this was the intersection of the pipes in the entire building. Theoretically, it could lead to any place, but the pipes were very narrow. There was still room for one person to get in, but it was difficult to stretch out your arms and legs and crawl freely inside, and it was easy to make noise.

When Keqing introduced the pipeline, he felt a little regretful and subconsciously rejected the plan to sneak in from here.

But this is perfect for Li Qingping!

The Tooth of Osel split into several streams of water, wrapped around the screw, and then rotated it madly, unscrewing the screw in a few seconds.

The universal fully automatic Osser Demon brand screwdriver is praised by everyone who has used it.

Li Qingping caught the baffle, placed it gently on the ground, and jumped in.

There was a lot of dust accumulated inside, which stained the suit Keqing prepared for him.

The suit looked very expensive, and Li Qingping felt distressed when he saw it, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

He lay face down in the pipe, urging the Fang of Osel to transform into a stream of water, enveloping him completely.

Today's ventilation pipe is like a hollow water pipe, and Li Qingping is the ball of self-powered water, moving freely in the complex and crisscrossing water pipes.

Of course, he did not forget to clean up the mess.

Several clusters of tentacles composed of water streams stretched out from the open ventilation pipe. One cluster lifted the baffle and aligned it to its original position, while the other clusters tightened the screws again from the outside.

After doing all this, Li Qingping suddenly felt that if the demon god Osel settled in Liyue, he would not starve with just these skills.

But it has to be a legitimate way. It would be troublesome if he started breaking into houses and picking locks like him.

"But I need to do this for work!"

Volume 1: 24. Give Me a Face

Just as the aftermath work was completed, Li Qingping heard some movement coming from under the ventilation duct.

"The power outage just now was very strange! This is a special period, someone might have sneaked in! Keep communicating, search carefully, don't miss any corner!"

"understand!"

Later, hurried footsteps and the frequent opening and closing of doors were heard one after another.

Li Qingping saw it clearly from above.

Then you'd better search slowly, I won't bother you anymore.
