Adeptal Mechanism Labyrinth Map

The handheld crossbows were lined up in a row.

The spring mechanisms were activated by the wind, and the crossbow strings were slowly drawn taut, with the crossbow bolts ready to fire at any moment.

A flash of cyan light appeared at the tip of the arrow.

Bai Ye waved his hand, and the crossbow bolts in mid-air fired in unison.

Swish, swish, swish—

With the boost from the Anemo Element, the crossbow bolts pierced the Fatui soldiers' bodies before they could even react.

Furthermore, as they pierced through, the Anemo Element on the arrowheads erupted.

An explosion from the inside out, instantly blasting their armor and outer garments off their bodies, leaving behind spreading wounds.

The ones in the front row all fell to the ground.

Only one Handgunner remained, untouched by the crossbow bolts.

Seeing this, he immediately tried to retreat, dodging Bai Ye's next wave of attacks.

But at this moment, Bai Ye rushed forward, and with the enhancement of the Anemo Element, he instantly appeared beside the Handgunner.

"Ah..."

Before the Handgunner could even utter a sound, Bai Ye's palm pressed against his chest.

A wrist blade sprang out from Bai Ye's wrist, directly piercing the Handgunner's chest. Bai Ye pressed down again, forcing the thin Handgunner to the ground.

"Don't move, or you won't have a chance to be saved."

After pinning him to the ground, Bai Ye whispered to the Handgunner.

The Debt Collector and the Mirror Maiden watched with wide eyes.

How could they be so strong...

The Mirror Maiden quickly prepared to fight, her fingers flicking as she was about to activate her abilities.

Just as her hand was raised, the Mirror Maiden felt a sharp, tearing pain in her palm.

Then, she felt excruciating pain in her chest, cheeks, and lower abdomen.

This pain rendered her completely unable to resist.

With rippling water, Yelan's figure appeared behind the Mirror Maiden. Her high-heeled foot kicked the back of the Mirror Maiden's knee, forcing her to her knees.

Yelan brought her bowstring close to the Mirror Maiden's throat.

"It's done,"

she said softly to Bai Ye.

As for the Debt Collector nearby, the two of them weren't worried.

The Debt Collector's specialty was stealthy surprise attacks. With both legs now pinned, what kind of storm could he stir up?

Bai Ye walked to Yelan's side and asked her:

"What's our next move? Should we go find Xingqiu's father and tell him what's going on here?"

They had clearly overheard the transaction conversation between the two groups earlier. Yelan also knew that the Feiyun Commerce Guild was indeed colluding with the Fatui, but it wasn't the Guild's boss, Xingqiu's father, who was involved, but rather the Guild's second-in-command, Qian Er.

What's more, they were planning to harm Xingqiu's father.

Originally, Yelan and Bai Ye had intended to take down these Fatui members in one fell swoop. But at this moment, they saw that the Debt Collector was still plotting against Qian Er, and their main objective was this labyrinth map.

Curious, the two of them set aside the ambush situation for the moment and decided to get their hands on this labyrinth map first.

Now that the enemies were subdued, they needed to prepare for the next phase of their plan.

"Aren't we going to capture those Fatui directly?"

"Hey, if we take down all the Fatui like this, if we don't tell Xingqiu's father, will he see through Qian Er's scheme?"

And, most importantly, how was he going to get some reward from Xingqiu's father!

Even though I'm friends with Xingqiu, and I'm currently hired by Yelan, saving the life of your Feiyun Commerce Guild boss, it shouldn't be a problem to find me a few more Floating Stone Rocks, right?

The Feiyun Commerce Guild is a massive enterprise, they must have many connections.

"Fine, that works too."

Yelan rubbed her temples, agreeing to Bai Ye's suggestion.

"However, it seems now that we need to pay more attention to this mechanism that is to be delivered to [Childe]."

Yelan walked towards the Debt Collector.

Although her posture was elegant and she was stunningly beautiful, to the Debt Collector, she appeared terrifying.

This was a pressure stemming from sheer power.

This elite group of Fatui was actually taken down by just this one woman and the young man behind her.

Yelan grabbed the Debt Collector by the collar.

"Now, can you give me that mechanism? You Fatui haven't been collecting Liyue's Adeptal artifacts for a while now. What exactly are you people trying to do?"

Looking into Yelan's eyes, the Debt Collector was terrified to the extreme.

"I don't know anything. I'm just following Master Childe's orders."

He said in a trembling voice.

Yelan stared intently at the Debt Collector, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying.

She then picked up the labyrinth map.

"What do you know about the origin of this labyrinth map?"

Yelan asked again.

"I don't know, I really don't know. I only know it's a mechanism made by an Adeptus hundreds of years ago."

The Debt Collector was only responsible for the operation; he truly didn't know the specifics.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information from the Debt Collector.

Yelan just picked up the labyrinth map.

She looked it over but couldn't make anything out.

At this moment, She turned her head to look at Bai Ye.

She almost forgot about him.

"Here, help me figure out what this mechanism is?"

Yelan, holding the mechanism, walked towards Bai Ye.

Seeing Yelan approach, Bai Ye, a master of mechanisms, was also a bit curious.

He quickly stepped forward a few paces, preparing to take the mechanism.

"Let me see, this Adeptal mechanism..."

Bai Ye said, his fingers touching the labyrinth map in Yelan's hand.

And the moment he touched it, Hagintos's voice echoed in Bai Ye's mind.

"Wait, I think I'm familiar with this mechanism!"

"What?"

Bai Ye was about to ask.

But before he could even ask, He felt a suction force emanating from the labyrinth map.

He looked up at Yelan, Her expression was also one of surprise.

"This is..."

Yelan was about to ask, but under Bai Ye's gaze, she was as if being sucked into the labyrinth map.

After Bai Ye saw Yelan being sucked in, He held on for less than a few seconds before he too was pulled into the labyrinth map.

The surrounding Fatui saw this and their eyes lit up.

The enemies are gone?

The Debt Collector was about to laugh.

At this moment, He also felt the suction force.

In almost the blink of an eye, all the surrounding Fatui were sucked into the labyrinth map.

Leaving only a mess behind.

Bai Ye felt his body, after what seemed like a powerful vacuum cleaner's pull, suddenly become light.

He seemed to be floating in mid-air.

Before he could even think, His body began to fall.

But he didn't land on the ground, About a meter above the ground, He felt his knees and back being supported by a pair of hands again.

Looking up, it was Yelan holding him in a princess carry.

Gazing at Bai Ye in her arms, Yelan glanced around.

"Are we inside this mechanical labyrinth now?"
