Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Just as he only realized that the laws of this world did not exclude him after he met Abedo.

Laws, like gravity, are something invisible and intangible, something we often don't even notice, yet it truly exists.

"This is getting more and more complicated... You researchers should use your brains and think about this kind of thing slowly..."

Jiang Bai gave up thinking. He only needed to know the answer; he didn't know how to do it. As for the verification, he would leave that to the professionals.

"But if that's the case, and the eggshell must be broken from the inside, then how does the Ice Queen intend to break the eggshell? The Seven Hearts of God?"

This doesn't seem very reliable.

So what's the Ice Queen's purpose in collecting the Hearts of God? Does she collect all seven to summon the dragon?

"I don't know," Abedo shook his head.

To find out these things, you'd probably have to ask the Ice Queen herself.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, it just gives me a headache."

Abelardo's helplessness is indeed a heavy topic.

Jiang Bai changed the subject, though this one wasn't much better.

"Regarding your master, I remember you saying that he created many alchemical creatures. Besides you and Dulin, what else?"

“There are many more, such as the Beast Hounds…”

Jiang Bai's eyes widened.

This thing was actually made at Rhein-Dörgården?!

Abedo pursed his lips.

He wasn't worried that revealing his master's actions would make Jiang Bai feel resentful or disgusted towards him.

Since we're already close friends, there's no need to worry about these things.

He also didn't believe that his master created them to destroy the world.

"To be precise, the Beast Hounds were not created by Master; Master only gave them a physical form."

The Beast Hounds are creatures born from the power of the abyss, but they did not initially have a physical form. During later research, the Golden Rhinedot accidentally created them.

Jiang Bai could only spit out his tongue.

Chapter 831 Long-Awaited Business

Mad scientists are really dangerous; how many lives could they accidentally create...?

Speaking of which, the PhD was also a mad scientist.

There are quite a few such mad scientists teaching at the academy.

The world is so dangerous...

"It's getting late, you should go to sleep."

Abedo plans to study this book of past events carefully and organize what Jiang Bai said.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

……

The next day, Jiang Bai slept until 10 a.m.

When I came out, I saw that Abedo was still tinkering in the studio room. Judging from the light that hadn't been turned off, he had been busy all night.

"Brother Jiang Bai, you're awake! Come and have some toast!"

Keli placed the fisherman's toast on the table with some difficulty, along with a glass of milk.

She had already finished breakfast by this time; it was prepared for the guests.

Fisherman's Toast, one of the few dishes she knows how to make.

It was created by the head of the ensemble, personally taught by him, as an apology to the fishermen.

Jiang Bai looked at the toast on the dining table in surprise.

The toast was slightly charred, with a fried egg sandwiched in the middle, and the ketchup squeezed into a four-leaf clover shape. It looked very appealing.

"That's great!"

This culinary talent has already surpassed that of the head chef.

Keli smugly enjoyed the praise; it was worth all the hard work she had put in.

"Shall we go play with Da Longlong today?"

"Today? I have something to discuss with your brother Abedo."

Aberdo walked out of his studio, showing no signs of fatigue despite having stayed up all night.

"Why don't you take Keli out to play? I've got some ideas, but I'll be busy for a while."

"Okay then, remember to get some rest."

Jiang Bai stayed in Mondstadt for three days, spending most of those days taking Klee around to play.

With Jiang Bai playing with her, Keli had a lot of fun.

He could have stayed a few more days, but as usual, he checked the pointer of the Four Directions Instrument and found that one of his clients' names had gone dark.

This client, named Fu Jiang, was also influenced by the book "Snow Country Chronicles" to conduct business with them.

Jiang Bai remembered that this client was a battle maniac, passionate about adventure, and loved to challenge all kinds of dangers.

In short, he's a player who courts death.

The reason for processing the transaction was simple: he wanted to find someone to collect his body.

He was very self-aware; someone like him who liked to go to dangerous places could die at any time, but the people of Liyue believed in returning to their roots.

After Wangshengtang launched this service, he no longer had any worries and embarked on a one-way journey of challenging death.

After learning about it from the book, I immediately got it done.

To be honest, Jiang Bai thought this client would die relatively quickly, but he held on until now before finally passing away.

Jiang Bai didn't rush to collect his remains, but instead went back to the Hall of Rebirth first.

He's been away for almost half a month now. If he doesn't go back soon, the sect leader will miss him terribly.

Humming a cheerful tune, Jiang Bai couldn't find walnuts in the hall.

Only after asking did I learn that Hu Tao had gone out to attend a funeral.

Jiang Bai could only wait at home for Hu Tao to return.

He squatted on the open ground in front of the Rebirth Hall, holding a pebble in his hand and idly drawing circles. Every now and then, he would peek out, like a pebble gazing at a peach.

A black and white husky next to it looked at it with a puzzled expression, and like Jiang Bai, it would occasionally stick its neck out to look outside.

This is the scene that Hu Tao saw when she returned.

Jiang Bai looked out in sync with a husky; the scene was incredibly comical.

puff-

Hu Tao laughed out loud, quite impolitely.

"When did you start playing with the dog?"

Jiang Bai patted his bottom, stood up, and distanced himself from the dog.

"Who played with the dog? Don't slander me, Master."

The dog glanced at him dismissively, wagged its tail, and walked away.

"Hey, what kind of look is that?"

Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows, as if to strike, but Gouzi tucked his tail and ran away as fast as he could.

"Hahaha, you got looked down on by the dog, didn't you..." Hu Tao laughed until her stomach hurt.

Jiang Bai grabbed her waist, "Sect Leader, you're not allowed to laugh!"

"Hahaha... It tickles... Stop it..."

After making a fuss for a while, Jiang Bai stopped.

He held Hu Tao in his arms, rested his head on Hu Tao's neck, and didn't want to move.

"How did the trip to the Abyss go?"

"Not bad, I gained something."

Jiang Bai picked out some things he could talk about and told Hu Tao, such as the clever dragon lizard, the water dragon king, the trials in the Abyss Palace, and the Abyss...

Hu Tao listened with great interest, feeling that she needed a handful of melon seeds in her hand.

"Can that Abyss Singer really transform into human form?"

"Yes, but it's only because of the special nature of the Abyss Palace that he was able to temporarily regain his human form there."

"That's good. Otherwise, if the Abyss Apostles had blended into the crowd, it would have been really impossible to find them..."

Jiang Bai then brought up business matters, and he became much more serious at this point.

"The customer doesn't know where they went; it will take some time."

"Let's rest for a day and then go look again. It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

"I'll listen to the sect leader." Jiang Bai nuzzled Hu Tao's face.

Hu Tao's hair was all messed up from his rubbing against her, and she pushed his head away, somewhat speechless. "Are you a dog? Why do you like rubbing against me so much..."

"Wang!"

"..."

After a day of rest, Jiang Bai set off.

This time, the compass needle pointed east, slightly to the north.

To the east of Liyue lies Mondstadt, and further east is the sea.

Jiang Bai was genuinely unsure where the customer had gone.

Following the direction the pointer indicated, we arrived in Mondstadt, where the pointer still pointed east.

Finally, Jiang Bai arrived at Cape Oath and cast his gaze upon the vast sea.

Good heavens, could it be in the sea?

All Jiang Bai knew about this direction was Musk Reef; beyond that lay a vast, uncharted ocean he had never been to before.

"Could they be heading to Musk Reef? The direction does seem to match."

Jiang Bai knew about the Deep Spiral on Musk Reef; it was said to be a spiral staircase leading to the abyss.

Whether it leads to the abyss or not is unknown, but there is no doubt that it is full of monsters.

Xiangling once went in to look for ingredients, and they chatted about the Spiral Abyss.

In Xiangling's eyes, that place was not much different from the secret realm. Its heavenly ladder was quite abstract. Each level down was like entering a new space. Although there were many monsters inside, most of them were projections of the earth's veins.

"Could he have gone to the Spiral Abyss to fight monsters?"

Considering this client's style, it's quite possible.

"If they're really inside, it seems we'll have to go down and check it out..."

Jiang Bai suddenly remembered something and quickly flew towards Musk Reef.

"Damn, we need to speed things up, or the client's body will be eaten and we'll be doomed!"

Chapter 832 Is this the abyss?

Upon arriving at the entrance to the Spiral Abyss, Jiang Bai took the Four Directions Instrument and circled it once. The pointer rotated in sync with it, firmly pointing to the Spiral Abyss.

"It really is inside..."

Although the deep well spiral is a downward spiral channel, its entrance is not ordinary.
