Whenever they had free time, the three inseparable kids—Afei, Lulu, and Xiao Meng—would play around the docks of Liyue Harbor. Now, only two of them remain. "Why did Xiao Meng suddenly want to travel to Sumeru..." Afei said to Lulu with a disappointed look, "Our unbreakable golden trio now has a gap; it’s just the two of us left..." "Maybe he just wanted to go out for a stroll..." Lulu replied. "Huh? Is that so? That’s great... I want to travel abroad too..." Afei said with a longing expression. "Afei, enough of that for now. Look, isn’t that the Alcor—the ship of Big Sister Beidou—over there in the distance? Big Sister Beidou has returned to Liyue!" Lulu pointed toward the faintly visible Alcor on the distant sea and said to Afei: "Haven’t you always wanted to earn Big Sister Beidou’s favor and grow up to become a sailor on the Alcor?" "Well, since we have nothing better to do right now, let’s go help Big Sister Beidou unload the cargo!" Not long after, the Alcor slowly docked. Afei was so excited that he was about to rush onto the ship, but Lulu stopped him with a firm grip. "Lulu, what are you doing? Why are you stopping me from going on board?" Afei asked, looking confused. "Afei, I have a bad feeling..." Lulu’s expression turned very serious as she said solemnly, "Usually at this time, Big Sister Beidou would already be standing on the deck, greeting us..." "But now, there’s no movement on the entire ship, as if no one is there at all..." "Could it be that Big Sister Beidou and the others were attacked by pirates?" Afei asked in shock, unable to believe it. "But Big Sister Beidou is so powerful—she can even slay giant sea beasts. How could she possibly be robbed by pirates?" "No matter the reason, the situation right now is definitely abnormal. Let’s go ask the Millelith Army uncles who are on duty at the dock to check it out..." Then, Lulu led Afei to explain the situation to the Millelith soldiers at the dock, and together they boarded the Alcor moored at the pier... What happened next shocked and terrified everyone present... The deck of the Alcor was covered in blood, with many severed limbs and body parts scattered around... One of the quick-thinking Millelith soldiers immediately covered Lulu’s and Afei’s eyes, then escorted them off the ship... "Hahaha... you didn’t see anything just now. If you did see something, it was only Captain Beidou’s prank—nothing to worry about..." The Millelith soldier could only say this before escorting Afei and Lulu back home. Meanwhile, Ningguang, who was working in the Jade Chamber, was the first to receive the news. Looking at the intelligence file Ganyu handed her, Ningguang furrowed her brows and murmured to herself: "That Beidou... what exactly happened in there?..." "No, she definitely isn’t dead..." "The clothing fragments and body parts found on the Alcor—none of them belong to her." After pondering for a moment, Ningguang said, "This matter is no trivial affair. The preliminary judgment is that it was caused by an eerie..." "Could it be that Captain Beidou herself fell into eerie state and killed everyone on the Alcor" Ganyu asked. "Although this possibility does exist, I don’t think it’s very likely..." Ningguang pondered and said, "Beidou deeply values the bonds with her crew and is a person of great integrity. Even if she were controlled by eerie force, I don’t think she would recklessly harm her own crew..." "Alright then, Ganyu, you go inform Su Yuan about this news, and arrange for all departments in Liyue to provide him with as much support as possible." "Su Yuan must also be very concerned about Beidou’s situation. Let me see what kind of methods this legendary youth who fights against eerie forces truly has!" ............ After leaving the Bubu pharmacy, Su Yuan arrived at the gate of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Looking at the tightly closed door, he realized he had made a big mistake... If the Funeral Parlor only opens at night, then he shouldn’t have gone to sleep so early last night... Even though his body hadn’t fully recovered, walking around shouldn’t have been a problem... Now, the timing was off again, and he didn’t know where to find Director Hu Tao or Old Man Zhongli... Just as Su Yuan was thinking about what to do next, he saw Ganyu appearing on the nearby road. "Su Yuan, finally found you..." Ganyu greeted him and walked over. "I just went to Bubu pharmacy to look for you, but Doctor Baizhu said you had already left..." Then, Ganyu told Su Yuan about the recent situation at the dock concerning the Alcor ship... Su Yuan didn’t hesitate at all and immediately followed Ganyu to the dock to check the situation in person. "Originally, Beidou was with me in Inazuma, but then Ningguang suddenly sent word saying there was an important matter to discuss, so she rushed back to Liyue early..." "But unexpectedly, something like this happened on the way back..." "Wait... Su Yuan, what did you just say?" Ganyu suddenly interrupted him, asking, "You said Lady Ningguang sent a message to Captain Beidou about an important matter?" "But as the secretary at the Yuehai Pavilion, basically all major and minor affairs in Liyue go through me. How come I’ve never heard of this?" "Besides, Lady Ningguang didn’t mention anything related to this just now either..." Su Yuan and Ganyu fell silent... The situation suddenly became complicated... Could this be some kind of trap? Maybe Ningguang never actually sent a letter to Beidou? Or perhaps, the current Ningguang has already been corrupted and controlled by the eerie force, and has been pretending all along? Su Yuan and Ganyu arrived at the Liyue Harbor dock, where the Millelith Guards had already closed off the entire dock, completing a lockdown to prohibit unauthorized people from entering. Seeing Ganyu arrive, the Millelith Guards immediately stood at attention and saluted, speaking respectfully: "Lady Ganyu, greetings! May I ask who this gentleman with you is?" "This is Mr. Su Yuan, a talented individual personally appointed by Lady Ningguang, now specially assigned to investigate the Alcor ship incident." Ganyu introduced, "Meeting him is like meeting Lady Ningguang herself. I ask all departments in Liyue to provide him with the greatest possible assistance." Su Yuan thought to himself, although he hadn’t met Ningguang yet, it was surprising that she was treating him so well, granting him such high authority and privilege... But even if Ningguang hadn’t given him these, facing this eerie incident and the disappearance of Beidou, there was no way he could just stand by and do nothing! --------------- Exclusive access : 320+ch on paetron Join now : patreon*com/DeCakraWnloverz
