The person opposite shouted as he charged this way.
"Lady La Signora! Is that Lady La Signora—?!"
"Lady La Signora! You finally came!"
"That guy is just—"
Before he could finish shouting, he fell silent.
Because he realized the one who had come was not La Signora.
The build did not match.
La Signora should have been a little taller.
The guard assumed they were Mu Yang's companions.
He tried to run somewhere else.
But Lumine swept him into the air with a gust of wind.
He crashed heavily onto the ground.
The guard was left completely disoriented.
"Ow, why am I so unlucky?"
Paimon looked at his balding hairstyle.
Pfft—she could not help but laugh.
Diluc interrogated him.
"Talk. What happened here?"
This guard was as sensible as ever.
"I'll talk, I'll talk. I'll confess everything."
"A powerful white-haired swordsman broke in and said he was looking for the Lyre of Winds!"
"He's already gone deep into the ruins."
Diluc frowned. "A white-haired swordsman?"
Lumine and Paimon exchanged a glance.
They spoke in unison. "Mu Yang?"
"You know him?"
Lumine said, "We only met him today, but why would he come here?"
Paimon said, "Yeah, didn't he say he wouldn't get involved with the Anemo Dragon until he got the money?"
Diluc's expression turned grave.
He did not know whether Mu Yang was friend or foe.
Paimon was a little worried too.
"If he's opposing the Fatui, then he should be our friend, right?"
Diluc questioned the guard again.
"Tell me, how do we get to the depths of the ruins?"
The guard pointed in a direction.
Then he asked, "I... I've told you everything I know. Can I go now?"
Diluc knocked him unconscious with the pommel of his sword.
"Go? So you can find La Signora?"
Diluc was so decisive.
Nonsense. You don't know what the Fatui did to Diluc. He used the pommel because it was rated 12+.
Mu Yang: Hello, what does 12+ mean?
The three continued onward.
When they entered,
they found an opened Stone Gate.
That guy from earlier had probably been guarding this door.
The three walked into the passage.
They could faintly hear voices.
Over on Mu Yang's side,
he looked over the enormous base inside.
It was divided into upper and lower levels.
Each level had several rooms.
There seemed to be people inside the rooms gathering to play cards.
He headed toward the source of the voices.
The moment he stepped through the door,
those Fatui did not even raise their heads.
"It's not time to switch shifts yet, is it? What are you doing in here, kid?"
"Are you recruits too dumb to understand the rules?"
"If Lady La Signora catches you abandoning your post, you're finished."
Mu Yang said nothing.
He activated his Cryo Vision.
The temperature throughout the room plummeted.
That terrifying pressure...
It had to be Lady La Signora.
That was what the Fatui thought.
They immediately threw down their cards.
Every one of them stood up.
They straightened their backs.
Ready to receive punishment.
One of the Fatui secretly peeked over.
He discovered it was not La Signora.
"Damn it, brothers, it's not Lady La Signora—it's an intruder!"
Only then did the others react.
They began attacking Mu Yang.
Mu Yang easily dodged their attacks.
And took them down one by one.
The room was too small, so he did not draw his sword.
The Fatui sprawled across the floor, howling after being beaten.
When Ying and the others arrived,
they happened to witness the scene.
Several Fatui clutched their heads and begged for mercy.
"Ow, big bro, stop hitting us, stop!"
"Yeah, at least interrogate us! What's the point of just beating us?"
"Hurry up and ask! The moment you ask, we'll confess! Ow..."
Mu Yang stopped the foot that had been continuously kicking them.
He said flatly, "I forgot."
Guinaifen's livestream.
Xiao Guizi laughed like a honking goose.
"Hahahaha, he forgot? This plot is going to kill me with laughter sooner or later."
Then fucking ask already! How am I supposed to confess if you don't ask?
This is beyond insane. What kind of contrast gimmick is Mu Yang going for? He's so cute, sniff sniff sniff.
Is this the Fatui's quality? Even France would salute their speed of surrender.
With both hands raised?
Daily France-bashing: 1/1.
Mu Yang asked, "Where is the key to the secret room holding the Lyre of Winds?"
The Fatui thought, Wouldn't it have been over if you'd asked that from the start?
Then they spoke in unison.
"It's on the person in the innermost room on the second floor."
A Snezhnayan curse came from the second floor.
"Suka blyat! You bunch of dogs! Lady La Signora won't let you off!"
Naturally, the beaten Fatui ignored him.
Damn it, those critical hits weren't landing on you.
What the hell are you yelling for?
Come take a few kicks yourself.
Then see whether Lady La Signora's beatings hurt more, or this white-haired guy's.
Mu Yang walked out of the room.
Paimon hurriedly called out to him.
"Mu Yang!"
Mu Yang turned around.
"You're here? Looks like it's been too long since I exercised my muscles. My sword was slow."
That was what he said.
But Mu Yang had not been slow at all.
He had come prepared.
Without Ying present,
who would watch him show off?
Ying asked, "Did you know we were coming?"
Mu Yang did not answer Ying's question.
Instead, he used Lightness Skill to leap to the second floor.
He grabbed the Fatui member who was preparing to leave with the key.
And threw him straight into the hall on the first floor.
Then he tossed the key he had ripped off him to Ying.
"We'll talk after we get out."
Ying caught the key and opened the door.
There was only a stone pillar in the secret room.
The Lyre of Winds rested atop it.
Paimon was thrilled.
"Yay! It's the Lyre of Winds!"
Ying had just been about to take a step forward.
Mu Yang and Diluc moved at the same time from either side.
Both reached out, intending to pull Ying back.
But Mu Yang was faster.
He shielded Ying behind him.
"Careful. The enemies can turn invisible. There are three of them."
Holy crap, a love-triangle battlefield!
Is it White Album season again?
I'm rooting for Mu Yang and Ying. No further explanation needed.
No further explanation needed—I'm raising my hand for Diluc and Ying.
Is there no Mu Yang and Diluc pairing?
I'm climbing Mount Kongtong overnight.
Ying became serious as well.
She had been a little careless just now.
Three invisible Debt Collectors launched an attack at the same time.
Mu Yang also relied on elemental perception.
He handled them one by one.
Mu Yang was naturally the most relaxed.
He killed his opponent with a single sword strike.
Ying and Diluc could not kill theirs instantly.
At that moment, an Electro Cicin Mage who had appeared from nowhere launched a sneak attack.
She rushed straight toward the Lyre of Winds.
"Don't make any rash moves, or this Lyre of Winds will be gone."
Of course, Lumine and Diluc were not foolish enough to lower their weapons.
Instead, they retreated to the doorway and took up defensive positions.
Facing off against the Electro Cicin Mage.
The Electro Cicin Mage ignored Lumine's side.
She turned to Mu Yang.
"Put down your sword, handsome. Don't point something so dangerous at your big sister."
"You wouldn't want the Lyre of Winds smashed to powder, would you?"
Mu Yang returned his sword to its scabbard.
The Electro Cicin Mage thought her scheme had succeeded.
She was wrong.
"Azure Dragon Emerging from Water."
Mu Yang drew his sword and dashed in front of her.
His blade pierced her heart.
It took only a single breath.
Even in death, the Electro Cicin Mage never saw how Mu Yang had struck.
