"Sister Yelan, Brother Su Yuan, our Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency has a ti limit for delivering goods, so I won’t stay here too long!"
Gaming waved his hand and said goodbye to Su Yuan and Yelan:
"When I’m done with work, I’ll treat you two to so morning tea!"
After Gaming and the people from the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency left, Yelan looked at the group of Treasure Hoarders tied up behind her with Life-Locking Threads and said to Su Yuan:
"Su Yuan, then as we agreed earlier, let’s part ways here."
"I’m going to take these Treasure Hoarders to the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ detention center, then stop by the Jade Chamber to speak with Ningguang. After that, I’ll et up with you at Yuehai Pavilion."
"No need, Yelan. I’ve suddenly changed my mind,"
Su Yuan replied:
"I won’t separate from you for now. I’m not going to Yuehai Pavilion..."
"To be honest, I’m pretty curious about what the detention centers and prisons in Liyue are like. I want to co with you and take a look..."
"Haha, Su Yuan, didn’t expect you to be interested in that..."
Yelan smiled slightly and joked:
"If your interest goes beyond just looking, you could always try breaking the law in front of . I’ll personally arrest you, send you inside, and make sure you get VIP treatnt..."
"Hehe, that’s definitely not necessary..."
Su Yuan smiled helplessly—he definitely didn’t want to go to jail.
Besides, Liyue’s prisons surely aren’t as free and easygoing as Fortress of ropide in Fontaine, right?
After all, in Fortress of ropide, there’s the dashing and reliable Duke Wriothesley, and the attentive and caring Nurse Sigewinne.
You don’t have to worry about food or clothes, and you can find self-worth through labor...
Is that even a prison? It’s practically paradise!
No wonder so many people from Fontaine try every possible way to stay in Fortress of ropide even after their sentence is over...
Su Yuan thought to himself, it had been quite so ti since he left Fontaine.
He wondered how everyone back there was doing now—were they well?
Afterwards, Su Yuan followed Yelan to the General Affairs Departnt detention center.
Yelan handed over the group of treasure hoarders to the Millelith Guards stationed there and shared all the information and details she knew with them.
"Su Yuan, do you understand now? After arresting these criminals from the treasure hoarder gang, the first thing we do is confirm their identities and see if we can contact their families..."
Yelan’s tone seed sowhat heavy as she spoke:
"Although many mbers of the treasure hoarder gang are ruthless villains who kill and rob without rcy, there are indeed so who are orphaned, holess, and lack any skills. They joined the gang under coercion and temptation just to survive..."
"Though people always fear monsters and ghosts harming them, according to the General Affairs Departnt’s statistics over the years, the ones who cause the most harm every year are humans themselves..."
"When I was a child, I could never understand—under the leadership and guidance of the Geo Archon, Liyue no longer suffers from famine, and everyone has enough to eat and wear, so why do such things still happen..."
"Now that I’m grown, I finally understand: it all cos down to one word—’greed’..."
"The endless desire, wanting to gain without effort, to live a life of ease and luxury..."
"This is unavoidable. As long as human greed isn’t eliminated, the treasure hoarder gangs will continue to exist..."
Su Yuan nodded, feeling that Yelan’s words made sense.
At the sa ti, Su Yuan observed his surroundings and the ancestral bracelet on Yelan’s wrist but didn’t notice anything unusual.
"By the way, does Liyue have the death penalty?" Su Yuan suddenly asked.
"Of course," Yelan replied, "for intentional murder, arson, poisoning, human trafficking, rape, manufacturing and trafficking drugs, and so on—if the consequences are severe and serious, the death penalty will definitely be handed down..."
Yelan replied:
"I’ve heard that over in Fontaine, the death penalty only exists in the written laws but no one has ever actually been sentenced to death..."
"Also, their system of duel proxies and the prison system in Fortress of ropide are things I find very hard to understand..."
"Anyway, let’s not talk about that now. We should go to the Jade Chamber to find Ningguang."
Su Yuan nodded, having noticed no abnormalities so far...
It seed likely that Yelan’s previous eerie transformation might have been triggered by sothing that went wrong when she t Ningguang...
"Yelan, what do you think would be the condition for you to be controlled by the eerie force?" Su Yuan asked on the way to the Jade Chamber.
"Su Yuan, I’ve noticed your gaze earlier—you’ve been staring at the ancestral jade bracelet on my wrist, haven’t you?"
Yelan smiled and responded:
"That’s indeed a very possible factor. After all, this jade bracelet is very important to ..."
"And it was originally a pair of bracelets; now only this one remains, making it even more precious..."
"Of course, it could also be related to intelligence information..."
Yelan joked:
"After all, I’m Liyue’s professional intelligence agent. If soone’s intelligence skills were better than mine, maybe I’d get so jealous that I’d fall into the eerie state!"
"But that’s just joking around. My eerie transformation probably isn’t triggered by that. After all, Su Yuan, you’re right here with —you definitely know a lot of eerie-related intelligence that I don’t..."
"If that were the case, I should have gone into eerie corruption the mont I saw you..."
Su Yuan nodded again, suddenly thinking that since Yelan wasn’t currently in an eerie state, maybe it’d be safer to et up with Zhongli and the others first...
If sothing went wrong when eting Ningguang, it would be a big problem...
Plus, he had a thought he wanted to verify...
So Su Yuan said directly, "Yelan, maybe we shouldn’t go to the Jade Chamber to see Ningguang for now..."
"Hm? Su Yuan, you look like you have sothing important on your mind," Yelan asked with a slight frown.
"Although there are so things I still want to discuss with Ningguang in person, if you’re really in a hurry, I could send a letter with a carrier pigeon instead..."
"Then let’s send a letter," Su Yuan said.
"We should hurry to Bubu Pharmacy now. I suddenly have an idea I want to verify about the condition for your eerie state, and I’ll need Doctor Baizhu’s help for that..."
"What idea?" Yelan asked.
"Yelan, since you also think that your eerie transformation condition might be related to ’intelligence’..."
Su Yuan mused thoughtfully:
"Intelligence is basically just a few types..."
"False intelligence, true intelligence..."
"Of course, intelligence can also change over ti..."
"So there’s intelligence that was true before but is now false, and intelligence that was false before but is now true..."
