Chapter 64 - 63: The Missionary

The strange ceiling... the strange bedding... and... the annoying smile! After seeing Bai Luo, Collei's originally confused expression instantly turned into an ugly expression as if she had eaten a fly. She checked the bandages on her body and fortunately they were not loosened. But for some reason, she clearly fell asleep on the floor, but woke up and ran to the bed. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since she slept so peacefully as today. "You did it?" While putting on her clothes, Collei looked at Bai Luo with a suspicious look. What she asked was naturally about her appearance in the bed. "It's just that someone had a nightmare last night, crying pitifully, and insisted on squeezing into the same bed with me. I had no choice but to spend the night with a crybaby." "..." After listening to Bai Luo's words, Collei suddenly felt guilty. Although her memory of last night was already very vague, she seemed to have really had a nightmare. Could it be... "It must be you!" After taking the Teyvat fried egg from Bai Luo's hand, Collei acted like a little wild cat with its fur blown up. Regardless of whether she took the initiative last night, she would never admit it. Everything is Bai Luo's fault! But she didn't touch the cup in Bai Luo's other hand. Because the milky white liquid gave her a bad memory. "Ludi Harpastum Festival is coming soon, let's go to Mondstadt to have a look." Bai Luo said, drinking the milk in his hand without caring. In Mondstadt, the quality of this milk is still guaranteed, and there is no need to worry that it comes from some strange place. Collei paused in her dressing, and her slightly crystal-clear lavender eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. "You mean... let me go alone?" During this period of time, Bai Luo had been restricting her freedom, and she was almost used to having such a person around her. Today, he suddenly let her go free, and she couldn't believe her ears. "Well, go and have some fun." Bai Luo knew that Collei would not sneak away by herself, not only because the way to save her was in Mondstadt, but also because the arrival of someone was destined to keep her in this city. Collei's face first showed an expression of surprise, but this surprise soon solidified and gradually turned into a silent bitter smile. "I'd better stay in the room." Looking at her body wrapped in bandages, she slowly lowered her head. Even though she looked much cleaner now and there was no strange smell on her body, this kind of dress... was destined to attract strange looks. In that case, it would be better to stay in the hotel. It's also good to be with this bastard, at least he won't dislike her. "What do you see now?" Bai Luo had come to Collei's side without knowing when. Collei wanted to raise her head, but he held it down. The force he used was not very strong, but rather gentle, and the gentle force gave people a reassuring sense of security. "Carpet." "What else?" "Shadow..." The light of the morning sun shone on Kelai's back, and the dark shadow was reflected on the ground, looking so lonely. She has been experiencing this kind of loneliness for too long. "Do you know how this kind of shadow is produced?" Bai Luo sat next to Collei. Next to the small shadow, there was another tall shadow. The shadows were not connected, but at least she didn't look so lonely. "It's light." Bai Luo said without waiting for her to answer. "One of my predecessors once told me that as long as you can still see your shadow when you lower your head, there must be light behind you. Sometimes when you are tired, you can lower your head and complain to your shadow, but as long as you turn your head, the light will always shine on you." "..." "Here are some Mora, enough for you to spend a whole day in Mondstadt. If the money is spent, just let them put it on the account of the Fatui." After rubbing her little head again, Bai Luo stood up and left the room. Looking at Collei who was still in a daze thoughtfully, Bai Luo sighed calmly. It seems that this time he failed again. At the door of the room, Anastasia had been waiting here for a long time. However, facing this late boss, she did not dare to say much, because no matter how high her status in the Fatui was, she was destined to be unable to shake the existence of the top twelve. "Instructor, that person has been waiting for a long time." Anastasia bowed and said in a low voice. "Take me there." Nodding, Bai Luo put the mask back on his face. Today, an old acquaintance came to Mondstadt, and he came because of Collei, so he felt that he needed to meet him. After following Anastasia out of the accommodation area, they came to the office area on the first floor. Originally, there were some large bunk beds here. After the Fatui requisitioned this place indefinitely, it was converted into the ambassador's office area. At the reception desk, an old man had been waiting for a long time. "Instructor, long time no see." The old man was dressed like a Sumeru ascetic, his skin was a little dark, and there was a kind of fierce light in his light golden eyes. His name was the Preacher. After the doctor was kicked out of the Sumeru Akademiya, he followed the doctor to join the Fatui, and he was also one of the doctor's former confidants. However, as the research deepened, the doctor even forgot the existence of this person. When Bai Luo worked for the doctor, he was arranged by the doctor to become the missionary's subordinate. Time has passed, and the other party is still the same, but he has become a master who can sit on an equal footing with the missionary. It has to be said that it is also a kind of irony. "Long time no see, missionary." The relationship between the two people can't be said to be too close, but it is not unfamiliar. When Bai Luo worked with him, he didn't embarrass Bai Luo. It's not that he is so kind. The only one who dares to put the remnants of the demon god into his body is a determined ascetic like him, right? But the remnants of the demon god still affected him, making his temperament extremely cruel, and the number of people who died at his hands was countless. At that time, Collei was lying on the bed dying of the plague. In order to save her, her mother went to the missionary for help. She originally wanted to save her daughter, but she didn't expect that she was asking for help from the devil. Not only did she lose her life in vain, but she also let her young daughter be tortured by the remnants of the demon god for several years. When the doctor sent Bai Luo, he was very optimistic about him. Even if the missionary had any thoughts about him, he had to wait until the doctor lost interest in him. Now he is somewhat fortunate that he didn't act impulsively at the beginning. Otherwise, with the other party's current status, if he wanted to make trouble for him, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist. "I believe the instructor already knows the reason why my subordinate came to Mondstadt?" The missionary didn't dare to show his old boss's airs to this former subordinate. He bowed respectfully and asked. "Isn't it the Black Fire that killed the diplomat? Don't worry, I will help you find her." Looking at the missionary in front of him meaningfully, Bai Luo suddenly had a new idea. Maybe... there might be a new opportunity. ________________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
