Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Since Zhongli is so slippery, why doesn't she target Paimon and Yoko Okino?

These two are clearly completely incapable of fighting.

"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect; there's no better way than this."

Zhong Li spoke calmly, and without making any move, the bright yellow and golden Mora began to melt rapidly, as if it were ice cream.

"All the money circulating on the mainland is my flesh and blood."

This sentence is inscribed on all the ascension materials for Geo characters.

Unlike money in the conventional sense, in Teyvat, Mora is not only the currency that circulates throughout the continent, but also a precious catalyst that can be used to enhance weapons and equipment.

For Morax, the god of wealth, Mora was also His flesh and blood, His divine power.

In the end, the pile of gold coins melted and condensed into a tiny golden droplet, which floated silently in Zhongli's palm.

"How dare you-"

Upon hearing Zhong Li's assessment, the "Ever-Changing Witch" naturally felt a surge of anger at being provoked by an ant.

Then, she met Zhongli's gaze again.

What a pair of eyes they were!

Upon contact with those golden eyes, the anger that had been surging like a volcano in the heart of the [Ever-Changing Witch] vanished without a trace, like a punctured balloon.

Instead, there is a fear that stems from the most primal instincts of living beings, a tremor from the deepest recesses of the soul.

What exactly is this feeling?!

The "Ever-Changing Witch" was filled with doubt and apprehension, for even when facing her master, "Kuryu Onikiri," she had never felt such a chilling sensation.

This feeling is no longer like facing a stronger opponent of the same kind.

It's as if it exists in itself and is completely superior to them.

"That's impossible. I just chased him around everywhere. I must be scaring myself."

However, despite constantly reassuring herself in this way, the body of the "Ever-Changing Witch" was unusually honest.

Instead of attacking Zhong Li, she charged directly at Paimon and Yoko Okino.

Once the hostages are captured, then—

But the next moment, she crashed hard into a golden barrier.

"This is--?!"

Only then did the "Ever-Changing Witch" realize with horror that she had unknowingly been imprisoned inside a golden sphere.

What she found even more unacceptable was that this golden barrier seemed to be the same as the jade shield that Zhongli had used before, which she had shattered with a single blow, but its sturdiness far exceeded her expectations.

No matter how she tried to break it or pound it, the sphere remained completely still, showing no signs of being damaged whatsoever.

"Wow, amazing! No wonder you're Zhongli."

Paimon, having witnessed this scene, completely relaxed.

Now that Zhongli has regained his power, even if it's only temporary, it's enough to give her an unparalleled sense of security.

Zhongli simply nodded, but did not show the humility he usually displayed.

He raised his right hand, seemingly using the golden droplet as a material, and remotely drew a talisman towards the [Ever-Changing Witch] who was raging helplessly inside the golden sphere.

"Ah ah ah..."

For the "Ever-Changing Witch," simply being illuminated by the light of the golden talisman was enough to make her let out a painful roar.

Not to mention, Zhongli was directly drawing talismans inside her body.

"You're trying to control me—don't even think about it!?"

Finally, the moment Zhongli's talisman was fully formed, the "Ever-Changing Witch" realized its true power.

However, faced with absolute power, she had absolutely no chance of resistance—

Watching the witch explode and quickly dissipate into smoke, Zhong Li raised an eyebrow in slight surprise:

"That's decisive."

"Has it been resolved? You're still so amazing, Zhongli."

After Zhongli dispelled the golden barrier, Paimon immediately flew over, looking very familiar with the place.

"Paimon, you flatter me. I only did my bit of help, and I still have some loose ends to take care of regarding the monster."

Zhongli nodded, and after exchanging a few words with Paimon, he quickly had Yin Kong switch him to the backstage area.

"Traveler!"

Upon seeing Yin Kong reappear, Paimon flew over with a concerned expression and checked his shoulder.

Thanks to the [wild mushroom and chicken skewers], the deep wound that exposed bone had naturally healed long ago.

"Paimon, thanks to you this time too."

Without the little guy's secret stash, Yin Kong's own backpack balance alone probably wouldn't have been enough to support Zhong Li in displaying such strength.

"Hehehe, I'm glad I could help you." Paimon couldn't help but feel a little pained thinking about how her savings were completely empty, but soon she asked curiously, "By the way, Traveler, what else does Zhongli have to take care of?"

Yin Kong quickly explained:

"Actually, it's about that monster. If Zhongli isn't mistaken, she shouldn't be dead yet."

It was precisely because they possessed the means to resurrect that they were able to self-destruct so decisively.

Of course, it was precisely because Zhongli had anticipated this situation that he did not choose to shoot directly, but instead opted for the more troublesome talisman.

"what?!"

Paimon was inevitably startled.

She had already witnessed the power of the "Ever-Changing Witch" firsthand; even Zhongli in her normal state could barely manage to protect herself.

If they were to make a comeback, they might not be able to come up with 300,000 Mora every time.

"There's no need to worry so much. Zhongli's talisman isn't something you can break free from so easily."

If one could escape like that, it would be a gross underestimation of the power of the Rock King Emperor.

Chapter 21 Alibi

"What kind of being is that?!"

On the other side of the Earth, in a decaying nest teeming with a dark aura, the [Ever-Changing Witch] weakly crawled out of a giant black egg.

She gazed in the direction of Tokyo with lingering fear, as if she could see those golden eyes looking down at her again, and her blurry body began to tremble involuntarily.

If she could, she would absolutely never want to appear in the other person's sight again.

Fortunately, I escaped decisively enough. This time, I'm determined to feast on a few more delicious animals—

"Wow——"

The moment this thought crossed her mind, the "Ever-Changing Witch" collapsed to the ground, clutching her head.

To her utter horror, she discovered that a golden talisman was floating in her consciousness, and that was the source of the terrible pain.

"How is it still here?!"

Soon, the "Ever-Changing Witch" discovered in despair that if she had any thoughts that were detrimental to Yin Kong or if she had any idea that she wanted to harm humans, it would immediately trigger the talisman's restriction, plunging her into the agony of being completely unable to move.

【The Mask of the Ever-Changing Witch - Chris x1】

"Is it over?"

In the Tokyo apartment, as Yin Kong stepped forward to pick up the items dropped by the "Hundred-Faced Witch," Yoko Okino asked with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

After all, what had just happened was completely beyond her comprehension.

"It is indeed over."

Yin Kong nodded slightly, also feeling fortunate to have survived the ordeal.

He had never encountered a situation where even teleportation couldn't shake off the pursuit.

Indeed, games and reality are quite different.

If he hadn't drawn Zhongli earlier, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive under the claws of that monster.

Although he hasn't been able to completely eliminate the "Hundred-Faced Witch" yet, he can now vaguely sense the talisman that Zhongli planted in her soul.

It's just that the distance is too great, so the sensation is not clear.

However, as long as the other party appears within a thousand miles of him, Yin Kong immediately controls its every move through the talisman.

This Rock King Emperor was indeed extremely thorough in his actions.

"So, what exactly happened? Why did Miss Chris suddenly turn into a terrifying monster? And what about Miss Yuko and Mr. Yamagishi? They really... they've all..."

Upon hearing Yoko Okino's question, Yin Kong also whispered:

"I think that wasn't the real Miss Chris, but a monster that borrowed her appearance. As for those two, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's just as you think."

"how come?!"

Yoko Okino was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.

After all, they were just living colleagues and friends not long ago, and they died without any warning.

So sudden? So absurd?

Upon seeing this scene, Yin Kong sighed softly, feeling a pang of guilt.

After all, if he hadn't been careless, the "Ever-Changing Witch" obviously wouldn't have had the chance to come to the real world and wreak havoc.

Yin Kong had long realized that rashly breaking the boundary between these demons and monsters and reality was not a good thing, but he did not expect that the first accident would result in the loss of two innocent lives.

Noticing Yin Kong's low spirits, Paimon immediately waved his hand to comfort him:

"No, don't blame yourself, traveler. I believe you didn't want to see this happen either, did you? Besides, you must have done everything you could."

The real culprits should be these cunning monsters!

Indeed, in that situation, he really didn't have the luxury of saving anyone.

If Yoko Okino hadn't taken the initiative to come closer, this popular idol would probably have been drained dry by the "Changing Witch" by now.

Yoko Okino wiped away her tears and offered words of comfort:

"Yes, Mr. Yin Kong, this is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself."

"Thank you, but don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

With the two comforting him, Yin Kong gently shook his head and quickly regained control of his emotions.

However, he soon discovered that a new world quest called "Under the Shadows" had appeared in his quest log, which he must have obtained after defeating the "Changing Witch":

Having been attacked by a monster lurking in the cracks, you finally realize that the world is not as peaceful as it seems, so you choose—

【Go all out and storm the enemy stronghold! Just go for it! (High difficulty, choose carefully)】;

[Keep a low profile for now and develop your strength cautiously.]

Without much hesitation, Yin Kong directly chose the "play it safe and develop stealthily" strategy.

Grandpa Zhong is indeed strong, but he can't come up with another 300,000 Mora, so it's better to be a little more cautious.

After Yin Kong made his choice, he immediately received thirty Primal Stones, as well as experience books and Mora and other miscellaneous rewards. The quest guide also changed to "Clean Up the Aftermath".

Following the mission's prompts, Yin Kong suddenly remembered that the commotion caused by the "Ever-Changing Witch" in Yoko Okino's apartment was quite significant.

He had no doubt that the residents there had likely already called the police, or even discovered the bloodstains and remains of Yuko Ikezawa and Sakae Yamagishi.

How will the authorities handle this?

Even more so, is there an organization in this world specifically dedicated to fighting these monsters?

If they discover someone like Yin Kong, what attitude will they take?

Since his transmigration, Yin Kong had carefully gathered information on this topic, but unfortunately, he hadn't found much.

At least, he hasn't been able to find any reliable shrines or temples yet.

Yoko Okino paused for a moment, then said in shock:
