Chapter 72 - 71: Collei Got A Family, And Teasing The Fatui

"Cuckoo..." Collei woke up to the call of a certain birds beautiful sound. This sound, which is extremely common to ordinary people, is a luxury for her. Animals' intuition is often the sharpest. Affected by the remnants of the demon in her body, few animals were willing to approach her. And today, an animal actually dared to get so close to her. "Right...seal!" Collei sat up and checked her body first. Easy, easier than ever before. She felt as if she had thrown away a huge stone from her back, and seemed as if she would turn into a bird and soar into the sky at any time, riding on the Mondstadt wind. Sh even had the urge to jump off the Starsnatch Cliff. What surprised her most was the epidemic she was suffering from. Someone untied the bandages, and what was exposed was not the horrible rotten flesh that gave her nightmares every night, but normal skin. Although this new skin looks somewhat white and tender, it forms a sharp contrast with other parts of the body, producing marks similar to sunburn marks. But compared to the bloody wound, this is still acceptable. If you can stand in the sun normally, who would want to be a monster? "Oh right...Bai Luo!" With a face full of joy, Collei thought of Bai Luo first. She hadn't experienced this feeling of wanting to share happiness with others for a long time, and it even felt a little strange to her. After scaring the pigeons away, she looked around and saw him at the top of the Starsnatch Cliff. He was sitting on the edge of a cliff, with the mask that usually hung around his waist placed on the grass beside him. The wind blew, and the mask made of unknown material swayed gently, making the figure look even more lonely and desolate. It gives people the illusion that...he is out of tune with this world. "Woke up?" He picked up the mask and covered his face. This was the first time he wore a mask when he was alone with Collei. Bai Luo didn't seem to want her to see his expression. Collei didn't say anything, but held Bai Luo's big hand. She used so much force that Bai Luo felt a little uncomfortable. She just wanted to convey one thing to Bai Luo. I'm still here. "Let's go home." "Um." Bai Luo rubbed Collei's slightly fluffy hair without saying much. The two of them walked on the not-so-pleasant wind on the Starsnatch Cliff and set out on the so-called journey home. ... Goth Grand Hotel. Luke has gradually become accustomed to the job of gatekeeper, or rather, he has fallen in love with this unique position. Every time a tourist from out of town tried to stay at the hotel, he would always say those domineering words. "We Fatui have this place all under our control!" The result is obvious, those tourists all cast "admiring" eyes on him. He enjoyed the look. Thinking about it this way, being demoted to do this job doesn't seem like a bad thing. I just don't know if there is any way for me to stay and be a gatekeeper. "Tatttatt..." "Um?" Just as Luke was daydreaming, a stone flew out from the bushes beside him and landed in front of him. "Whose naughty kid is this! Get out of here!" Luke didn't take it seriously, because since he became a security guard, he had many experience with such things. "Tattatt!" "..." Another stone flew out, but this time the opponent seemed to adjust the angle and hit him right in the chest. "I'm warning you! If you get caught by me, it won't be as simple as a spanking. I will report you to the Knights!" Patting the spot where he was hit, Luke shouted sharply. Fortunately, the Fatui's clothes are thicker, and this level of stone is not enough... "Duang——" The rock, which was larger than the previous two, hit Luke's forehead with incredible accuracy. Although the Fatui had helmets, people like him who were guarding the gate were obviously not issued such things. The hard stone came into close contact with his forehead at almost zero distance, and a visible bump had already appeared on his forehead. "Alright! Let's fight!" With a swish, Luke pulled out his one-handed sword and jumped into the bushes angrily. But he didn't realize that a young figure had slipped into the hotel while he was not paying attention. And before going in, she left a cat sticker on the hem of his clothes. "Um?" The girl at the front desk, Alina, subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the gate. She clearly heard the sound of the door opening, but didn't see anyone come in. "Luke? Is that you?" After putting the documents in her hand into the drawer at the front desk and locking it, Alina cautiously picked up the dagger beside her and walked towards the door. The fatuis are all soldiers, and this is no joke. Sometimes, a guy who looks like a businessman might put on a mask and turn into a Pyro debt collector. Although Alina looks weak, she is a ruthless person who can fight against the Mitachurls with her bare hands. But she didn't notice that a white little hand had already entered her blind spot and took away her keys, leaving a cat sticker on her buttocks. By the time she realized something was wrong, the uninvited guest had already left. But Alina never discovered the intruder in the end. She thought she had simply left her keys on the counter by accident, as the papers she had put in the drawer had not been touched. Anastasia looked at the pocket watch in her hand while walking quickly in the corridor on the second floor of the hotel. She made an appointment with the Knights of Favonius to discuss matters related to the murder of the diplomat. The other side seemed to have discovered the suspect's whereabouts, but with the Knights Favonius's forces left in Mondstadt, they were unable to deal with the suspect for the time being, so they planned to ask them for help. She enjoyed the negotiation experience. But after taking only a few steps, she gradually stopped. To become the counselor of the Fatui, Anastasia is more than just a talker. Even though she hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, she still sensed something was wrong. Someone is following her. Moreover, the person who was following her was very smart. He even calculated the time of each step so that it would coincide with her steps. But the other party overlooked one thing. She was wearing high heels, and the sound of their landing was slightly different and much crisper than others. The difference in the footsteps caught her attention. only... When she tried to find the person, she found no sign of anyone following her. Even when she pretended to fish to attract the other party, the faint sound of footsteps had disappeared. "Strange...is this an illusion?" She looked at the corridor behind her suspiciously. There was no place to hide in this long corridor, so it was not the case that the other party was hiding. Maybe it's an illusion. Shaking her head slightly, Anastasia left with the documents in her arms. But she didn't notice that there was a cat sticker on her perky buttocks. Not just her. All the Fatui members in the Goth Grand Hotel have this inconspicuous sticker on their bodies. The Goth Grand Hotel, which was regarded as an embassy by the Fatui, was unexpectedly captured without anyone noticing. _______________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
