"Hey, wait a minute..."
Seeing Jiang Mu's expression, Xiao Ying quickly called out.
"Oh, is there something you need?"
Jiang Mu immediately composed himself, looked at Xiaoying, and spoke gently.
"Your expression changes so quickly..."
Sakura pouted, but still spoke in a very proper and authentic way.
"I think you might have misunderstood something."
"Misunderstand?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu frowned.
"You mean..."
“According to the investigation by my men,” Sakura said softly, “Young Master, the Fatui that you mentioned, the one you brought with you, Tadalia, are mostly active in the wild. But we discovered that the Fatui who are operating in the shadows are clearly another group.”
"Another group? You mean there are currently two groups of Fatui operating in Liyue?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, Sakura nodded solemnly.
"Our investigation revealed that this group of fools appears to be under the command of another executive."
“Another executive…”
Jiang Mu hesitated for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted!
"You mean, Liyue currently has two Fatui Enforcers?"
"That's right."
Sakura nodded.
"Who could the other executive officer be...?"
Jiang Mu paced back and forth with his head down, muttering to himself...
………………
Finally, the system, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up and gave a reminder.
"Idiot host, do you remember the plot of the Legend of Tartaglia, the Chapter of the Whale Sky?"
"The legendary quest of Tartaglia... I remember it, it was about his younger brother, named Tok, and also One-Eyed Treasure... One-Eyed Treasure!"
Jiang Mu thought for a moment, and suddenly realized!
"It's a doctor!"
"What doctorate?"
Sakura looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"It's the executor of the Fools, Doctor, who's behind it all."
Jiang Mu bent down and gently patted Xiao Ying's head.
"Sakura, you've done a great job this time!"
"Huh?"
Although she couldn't understand what Jiang Mu was saying, the comfortable touch on her head still made Sakura subconsciously squint her eyes...
? (??w??) ?
………………
"Sakura, watch the house carefully, I'm going out for a bit."
As he spoke, Jiang Mu stood up and was about to walk out when he suddenly turned back and said.
"Oh, and don't forget to prepare a room for Ying."
With that, he left in a hurry.
"..."
Watching Jiang Mu's retreating figure, Xiaoying pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Honestly, bringing girls home again..."
………………
"System, mark the location of the Doctor's Factory for me."
As he stepped out the door, Jiang Mu said in a deep voice.
"The factory has been marked and is now located to your northeast. Would you like navigation?"
"Need not."
Jiang Mu said calmly.
"I can see the way myself."
As he spoke, wind wings unfurled from his back, and with a slight tremor, Jiang Mu soared into the sky!
"boom!"
A piercing sonic boom rang out, and soon a group of guards gathered there.
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Just as the group of guards were searching for suspicious persons in the surrounding area, Mo Jiangshan's unhurried voice rang out.
"Go back to your posts and keep watch. It's nothing serious. Our boss has just taken off..."
………………
Soon after, Jiang Mu landed in the direction indicated by the system.
"Is this the place...?"
Looking at the desolate hillside, Jiang Mu said with a smile.
"Then let's just break it open..."
Taking a few steps back, Jiang Mu stretched out a hand. As the Eye of God at his waist rippled slightly, two balls of violent energy, one red and one purple, slowly emerged from his hand.
As Jiang Mu gently grasped the two energies, they slowly merged together...
However, the two energies were clearly not getting along. As they clashed, crackling sounds emanated from them, as if some complex alchemical reaction was taking place inside.
"That's about enough..."
Feeling the increasingly volatile energy in his hand, Jiang Mu's lips slowly curled into a smile...
"I must say, it's been a long time, Doctor..."
As he spoke, Jiang Mu took a slight step back and threw the energy ball in his hand away!
"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The energy ball that was thrown out exploded with a bang the moment it made contact with the mountain!
At that moment, the doctor who was conducting research and dismantling the relics guards in the research institute inside the mountain suddenly felt a pang of fear. The next moment, with the entire mountain shaking, his laboratory, or rather the entire factory, was thrown into chaos...
"What's going on!"
With a roar, the doctor struggled to his feet. Looking at the mess around him, his anger surged.
"What's going on? Why is someone attacking me here...?"
But who was he? The doctor forcefully suppressed his surging rage, and at this moment, he began to think carefully…
To ensure the secrecy of the research institute, he didn't tell anyone and conducted his research alone. Therefore, there was no internal leak. But could it be that someone accidentally planted a bomb here?
The idea had barely formed in his head when the professor crushed it to dust. Impossible! No one would really be so bored as to plant bombs in the wild…
Just as the doctor was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Doctor, we're all old acquaintances, so stop hiding and come out to meet us."
That voice belongs to... that kid!
After identifying the owner of the voice, the doctor frowned deeply...
"How could it be him? Isn't he in Mondstadt right now? How did he end up in Liyue?!"
But it was clear that the current situation did not allow the Doctor to think too much. After adjusting his mask and suit, the Doctor opened the passage he had prepared in advance and walked out.
At this moment, Jiang Mu, who was waiting outside, was getting impatient. Just as he was about to concoct another bomb, a sudden noise from the mountain in front of him made him squint.
"Finally out of the turtle shell...?"
"It really was you..."
Upon seeing Jiang Mu, the doctor's expression immediately turned hostile.
"Excuse me, sir. Don't you owe me an explanation for this sudden sabotage of my research institute?"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu laughed.
"Given the position your Ice Queen gave me, shouldn't you be addressing me respectfully as 'Supervisor' now?"
"you……"
The professor was so angry he was about to vomit blood. He really wanted to point his finger at Jiang Mu and give his female elder a friendly yet polite greeting, but the self-proclaimed gentleman forcefully suppressed the idea...
"Then, my beloved supervisor..."
The doctor forced a smile, which wasn't very pleasant.
"Did you come here to tell me something...?"
