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

Page 160

That was the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The only difference between the two is that the Embroidered Uniform Guard openly arrests people, while Ye Lan hides in the shadows, collects everything she wants, and then mercilessly kills any enemies who are not worth her.

That sounds pretty cool.

That makes sense. Although the Fools have many members, they only have a few palatable ones, and they've pretty much exhausted all of them.

Take Lei Ying, for example. She has now mastered a hundred ways to get promoted, allowing her to rise rapidly in the workplace. So there's not much left for her to do.

It is human nature to be fond of the new and tire of the old.

The woman, unaware of these things, simply shook her head, saying, "How could that be? Surely those people down there can't all be useless. How could they let the other side find out?"

Xu Guang glanced at it but didn't say anything.

You fools' gang is practically rotten to the core. Someone can sneak in just by putting on a mustache. Do you really think everyone's so dedicated?

The young master was clearly aware of the problem, so he simply shook his head dejectedly and did not offer his opinion.

The woman regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking; she shouldn't have contradicted Xu Guang.

In her opinion, the other person's personality was unpredictable, and what if he got angry because of this and tried to fill her up?

However, Xu Guang didn't care about that. He just looked at the people present and said, "So, we're going to give that uninvited guest a surprise. I hope you can all cooperate with me."

No one objected to his proposal, and even the only person present who could object shrugged and nodded in agreement.

……

"The smell of the wind has changed."

In a small alley in Liyue Harbor, a figure reached out and felt the gentle breeze.

The face beneath the hood was filled with solemnity.

Having survived in the darkness for so many years and made great contributions to Liyue, Yelan must have had her own set of survival rules; otherwise, she wouldn't have survived until now and would have died long ago.

Luck will never always protect one person.

At other times, she might have abandoned the mission and chosen to find a place to lay low.

But this time it just won't work.

Ningguang and she went through the bottom line. This crisis involved the Demon God, and if it was not handled properly, there would be countless deaths and injuries.

She couldn't bear to watch such a prosperous scene be destroyed, as it contained her hard work and dedication.

Pulling her hood back on, Yelan took a deep breath.

The instinct for danger surging in her heart stung her deeply. Since she could remember, there had been no more than three times when she had to bravely face danger that she knew might cost her her life.

I hope I can make it back alive this time.

Ye Lan lowered her body and looked at the stronghold in the distance.

It's visibly that the patrol efforts have increased several times over. Originally, there were only a few cats and dogs here, and she could sneak in effortlessly. Now it seems she'll have to pay a price.

It's not good that this is bad, because she deliberately left some traces to prove that she had been there the previous times, her purpose being to exhaust the enemy.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

If things have gone this far and the other party still doesn't react at all, that would be truly frightening.

In the shadows, Ye Lan raised her hand, and pale blue threads spread wildly, surging into the stronghold through the gaps.

Chapter 224: Who taught you that this is a verb?!

"There are quite a few more people now."

Ye Lan shrugged, not caring about the extra personnel. As long as she didn't confront the executive head-on, she was never afraid.

This is largely thanks to his ability to remain hidden.

Lowering her body, Yelan bent her legs and then leaped forward.

While others lurk stealthily, she is different. She can use her incredible speed and near-invisibility to bypass layers of defenses and get what she wants.

Sure enough, the few Fools guarding the door didn't notice anything.

She also overheard their conversation.

"Do you think we can really catch that guy like this?"

"Who knows? We just do whatever the higher-ups tell us to do. What else can we do?"

"But we can't just stand here like this forever."

"Say less."

Ye Lan chuckled and didn't turn her head.

If all the Fools were this good, she wouldn't have so much to worry about, but she knew clearly that the real challenge lay ahead.

According to her intelligence network, an executive officer would be stationed at this base, and that officer was most likely the blonde woman who had previously saved Mondstadt.

Although she didn't really believe that an organization like the Fools would do good deeds, she still hoped that this person would be more approachable.

Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if we go to great lengths.

Ye Lan strolled leisurely, the silk threads providing her with a sense of the layout and situation of the place.

After passing through several patrols, Yelan arrived at a room, quietly pushed open the door, and began searching for what she wanted.

"If only we could find the summoning ritual of that demon god."

Ye Lan muttered to herself.

She didn't believe these guys could summon a living demon god; that was utter nonsense.

This is tantamount to declaring war.

After all, humans, demons, and gods can't just come here for a stroll, can they?

The demon gods who died, especially those killed by the Rock King, harbored intense resentment towards Liyue, so it's not surprising that they did something before their resurrection.

As for who resurrected him?

If the Fools simply deny everything, it will be very difficult for them to convict the other party, as there is too little evidence.

She came here specifically to find evidence.

War has never been the way for nations to get along; politics is.

Moreover, the Winter Solstice was not so weak as to be easily destroyed.

"You're looking for this, right?"

A voice suddenly came from behind her, and Ye Lan's heart tightened, but she pretended to be nonchalant and took it.

She looked at the words above, her eyes lowered.

It really is a summoning ritual of a demon god.

But who is behind her?

You should know that after she came in, she covered the entire area with silk threads to ensure that she would notice if anyone approached.

The other person stood silently beside her, and she didn't notice until they spoke.

This is a master.

They are at least several levels better than her.

"Look at you, I gave you the things, and you didn't even say thank you."

Ye Lan, who was still facing away from the other person, said thank you after hearing this, then braced herself on the ground and tried to find the other person with the silk threads and then bind them.

To her surprise, the man grabbed her setup and said with interest, "I didn't expect you to like rope bondage so much. To be honest, yours is the most convenient. You bring your own materials, which saves a lot of trouble. So, do you like turtle shell bondage? If not, I can find another one."

Hearing the strange whispers behind her, Ye Lan slowly turned around.

Given such a disparity in strength, any overstepping of the bounds could result in one's death.

As an intelligence chief, she has always been self-aware.

To charge headlong into a powerful enemy without any preparation and without fear of death is foolish.

She had a backup plan: if she couldn't return by dawn the next day, Ningguang would come to take her away.

Liyue does indeed yearn for peace, but it is not afraid of trouble.

When Ye Lan turned around, she realized that the other person was a handsome young man.

He was in his early twenties, dressed neatly, and had a very friendly smile.

If they hadn't met here, she thought she probably wouldn't have minded getting to know him.

Let's leave it at that for now.

Ye Lan was filled with surprise.

From what she saw, if the other party wasn't some kind of baby-faced old monster, then it could only mean that this person became an executive officer in his twenties.

What is this concept?

You should know that the executive officer is the greatest being in a country besides the gods. He can easily mobilize the army and have a large number of people serve him.

Correspondingly, the executive officer must also be exceptionally capable or excel in a particular area.

As far as she knew, one of the current executives was weak in combat, but when it came to making money, Ningguang was probably a step behind.

Such youth only speaks to their formidable potential.

She never underestimated the executive officer.

"If you don't speak, does that mean you don't like it? A picky customer like you is really giving me a big problem. But don't worry, I may not have much else, but I'm very skilled. People who have been served by me before know that."

While Ye Lan was sizing up Xu Guang, Xu Guang was also sizing her up.

Is it true that the water of Liyue nourishes people?

She's very good-looking.

Her short, black hair, tinged with a bluish-black hue, was styled with side-swept bangs, and her green eyes and red lips were adorned with purple makeup.

She was tall and wore a leather jacket made of blue and white, matching her hair color.

Leather jackets are great. He and Kujo tried them before, and the effect was exceptionally good. They could even make a proud woman kneel down.

There is only one point.

"Your skin looks a bit saggy."

Xu Guang said with some regret, "Actually, it's nothing, because many people become like this as they grow up."

After all, nothing is an object that can escape the influence of gravity.

"Luckily, I worked as a masseur before becoming an executive officer, so these are all minor matters. It's a pity that the masseur was not very old and was locked up. I wanted to patronize his business a few more times."

Ye Lan's lips twitched slightly. She understood and thought to herself, "This isn't right."

Who taught you to use "干" as a verb here?

Please apologize to your teacher.

And was the one you mentioned earlier really right?

Is the executive branch also in such a chaotic state?

Ye Lan complained that this was her little habit; she would use this method to relieve stress when faced with a major crisis.

The other thing is eating spicy food.

Xu Guang waved his hand, not caring about the issue, and said with a smile.

"Anyway, you just need to know what I mean. I'm not good with words, but I'm quite eloquent. You're in luck."

Ye Lan narrowed her eyes and subtly took a step back.

"Sir, so what do you intend to do to me?"

She was trying to negotiate and shift the topic elsewhere.
