In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

Chapter 319: No, buddy, you have this kind of connection...

The conversation suddenly stopped, and someone fell silent.

Thomas felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the group of visitors.

He knew about Maple Plains Manba; he was a descendant of a prestigious family, but unfortunately, he was the only one left in the family after a catastrophe.

However, he knows the other person, but the other person may not know him.

At that time, Manyo was already the center of attention, while he was still just a nobody.

He recognized the blond guy; they had met once before at the dock, and the guy had given him a lot more work because of it.

Then the problem is coming.

Why are you here too?

Thomas looked at Xu Guang, and his smile vanished.

He still stuck to his judgment: this guy definitely had a problem, and there was a very high probability that he was someone who was deceiving the young lady.

He just didn't understand why the head of the family was unwilling to take action.

Since no credit line was granted, the matter was considered closed, as he no longer needed to investigate and even gained a few extra days of vacation because of it.

This was supposed to be a good thing, and he was just looking forward to doing something during his day off to help the Kamisato family expand their network of connections, but he never expected to run into this person.

In a sense, Thomas was truly loyal.

Looking at the other person's expression, Xu Guang greeted him warmly, "Thoma, it's you! Long time no see."

These words greatly frightened the person involved.

No, we just met the day before yesterday. Who hasn't seen you in a long time?

Do we know each other well?

Unexpectedly, Xu Guang suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and whispered, "Mr. Thomas, don't you want to know why your patriarch acted that way yesterday?"

After saying this, Xu Guang immediately stepped back, not giving the other party a chance to ask questions.

Thomas also fell into deep thought.

How did he know?

Rather, the question is, what exactly did this culprit do?

Curiosity made Thomas's thoughts a jumbled mess.

He was a smart man and knew what to do at this time, so he smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Xu Guang, it's been a long time."

The two exchanged pleasantries without any apparent flaws.

Apart from Kaedehara Manyo, none of the people present felt anything was wrong.

In their eyes, whatever Xu Guang does is normal.

Kaedehara Manyo felt a sense of déjà vu and silently sighed, wondering how he could recognize everyone he saw.

The traveler is one, the palace of the night is one, and even this Thomas is one.

What an incredible network of connections!

Kaedehara Manyo thought of this, and then obediently stood aside waiting for the two to finish their pleasantries.

To be honest, there wasn't much to talk about. The two weren't really familiar with each other. After a polite but awkward conversation, everyone went into the tea room.

Kaedehara Manyo truthfully told the other party about their purpose.

Thomas nodded repeatedly as he listened.

He strongly agreed with the other party's idea, or rather, he saw the benefits behind the matter.

First and foremost, there is no doubt that the reason for reclaiming the Eye of God, which has been hidden away, is perfectly legitimate.

This was a decision made by that god, so even if it causes a big fuss, no one can say anything.

Secondly, this move can win over a considerable portion of the public's support.

There must be people in this world who are unhappy with the holder of the Eye of God, jealous of why the other party can possess such powerful strength, and so on.

But if they were given the chance to have the Eye of God, they would definitely agree.

This is what people are like.

If the Society Advisory Council adopts this title, it means it will gain wider support, which would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Tenri Advisory Council.

So, after a brief risk assessment, Thomas nodded.

He is no longer a child, nor is he alone.

The Kamisato family has given him everything he has now, and he cannot disregard everything for his own selfish desires.

Mature adults always think more deeply.

Seeing Thomas nod, Kaedehara Manyo was very excited, his fingers trembling slightly. He quickly stood up and thanked him.

Logically speaking, someone with Man Ye's gentle personality wouldn't show such an expression, but the events that had happened one after another added up.

The helplessness of childhood, the cowardice of youth, and the aimless drifting like duckweed afterward.

These things left him bewildered.

Now, Kaedehara Manyo has found a goal and will do his best to achieve it. As long as someone is willing to help him, he will not hesitate to give.

Xu Guang looked at the other person with a sigh on his face.

Compared to him, Wan Ye was undoubtedly a good person, or rather, anyone compared to him was. It's just that this guy was genuinely kind, which made Wan Ye sigh in admiration.

Good people like to hang out with other good people, and bad people like it too.

Because it's more convenient to use.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more into the conversation, Xu Guang took something out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

It is a token.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, he humbly explained, "This is Kujo Sara's personal waist tag. With this, it should be much more convenient for us to move around."

Thomas's eyes widened.

What the hell?

Is it the Kujo Sara he knows?

Just kidding.

Would that icy, cold-faced guy really give his personal identification tag to someone else?

Don't tell me it was stolen.

How do you steal someone's waist token from a general who is in charge of the Heavenly Court?

Still half asleep, huh?

In terms of martial arts alone, few of the opponents in Inazuma could defeat them. The places they frequented were heavily guarded, with enough guards to form a company!

As for the token, Xu Guang certainly didn't steal it; he took it from the other party openly and honestly.

I originally just wanted to be prepared and play around with it, but I never expected to see such a scene, so I took it out on a whim.

Thomas looked at it closely, somewhat incredulously, and then fell silent.

The most complicated thing is that this thing is actually real.

He looked up at Xu Guang, his eyes filled with pure bewilderment and incomprehension.

Dude, with your connections, what are you even saying to me here?

If you take the token and go to investigate, no one will dare to stop you.

Thomas's expression faltered as he returned the token.

Kaedehara Manyo broke the silence just in time: "Mr. Thomas, our plan..."

They had been discussing things enthusiastically for a long time, talking about infiltrating and avoiding patrol personnel.

Now...

Thomas shook his head and sighed heavily: "Let's change it. We can just take this directly to the Heavenly Territory Enforcer later."

"Ok."

The matter was settled so hastily, and these people's efficiency was truly remarkable.

Once the decision was made, they set off immediately, but before Thomas left, he wrote down the matter by carrier pigeon and gave it to the head of the family.

This is also to avoid accidents.

The worst thing a subordinate can do is to be unconventional, even though he knew Lingren wouldn't care.

The group quickly arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Commander's Office, but compared to yesterday, they were more confident.

Chapter 320: The Deep-Sea Giant Suction Cup

"He who comes is stopped!"

The new guards dutifully stepped forward and stopped them.

Looking at the people in front of him, a bead of cold sweat trickled down the guard's temple.

He was originally a member of the patrol team, but he ended up in this position because of a mistake.

He only needed to give a self-criticism within the team, but who would have thought that this unlucky guy would offend the wrong person yesterday, say things he shouldn't have said, and even abuse his power for personal gain.

That's what got him standing here.

That person is truly pitiful.

Why do I say that?

Because he wasn't the only one in the Heavenly Order who did this, but he was the only one who was severely punished.

Therefore, it's quite easy to conclude that the other party provoked someone they shouldn't have.

Seeing the miserable state of his former colleagues, the new guard immediately spent a considerable amount of money to transfer to another place, and he would be leaving in a few days.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, they encountered a group of menacing guys.

It's ruined. Will his career end because of this?

With this in mind, the guard said with an upright expression, "This is the residence of the Heavenly Commander. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

His tone was quite good and very polite.

Under normal circumstances, there would be absolutely no problem. This attitude is already quite good. But today, these guys are here to cause trouble.

Xu Guang took the lead and stood at the very front, taking out his token.

"Young man, please let us through, we have urgent business."

The guard glanced at his waist tag, broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly lowered his head.

"Sir, may I take a closer look?"

What the hell? He was just standing guard, what happened to him?

Kujo-sama's waist tag?

This is something that the esteemed person carries with them closely and never lends out.

Is the person who can get this job someone he can contact?

Xu Guang picked it up and waved it in front of the other person. After the guard saw it clearly, his face turned pale and he hurriedly stepped aside.

"Please come in, gentlemen. I was too harsh with my words just now. I am truly sorry!"

Xu Guang patted the other person's shoulder with a forgiving gesture: "It's alright, you're doing the right thing. We'll go in first, you can focus on your work."

The guards nodded repeatedly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching the men go inside.

Regardless of what they do, since they have the waist token of the Nine Adults, he cannot stop them. If he is held accountable, he will lose more than he has.

He's just a lowly guard who's about to be transferred; can't we just let this go?

Meanwhile, on Xu Guang's side, after they entered openly, only two people had strange expressions.
