Chapter 286: A Few Years Passed, Eye Hunter Rises Again
Late at night, the three people who had been playing all day went home.
Lying on the bed in black, he called out in his heart: "System, are you there?"
[Host, what's up? ]
"It's probably not just because of Mom that she has forgotten her past experiences, right?"
[Yes, since the system will reform the entire world, Alice is also within the scope of influence. ]
"That's fine. As for the mission of prohibiting me from going to Mondstadt, you are also considering my past there, so you want to prevent me from strangling myself, right?"
【Yes. 】
"Sure enough, it's worthy of being my good system!"
[The system's duty is to serve the host. This is the original intention of the system's existence and its mission to be carried out to the end, which will never change.]
"Thank you." Mo Ran ended the conversation in his mind and slowly fell asleep.
A few months later, Alice was sitting in the castle tower, still accompanied by the man in black, the two of them were sitting in silence.
Finally, Alice spoke first, breaking the silence.
"Son, I'm leaving this afternoon. Take good care of yourself and don't get too tired."
"Don't worry, Mom, I can do it."
"Well, before you leave, I'll show you my cooking skills!"
"Okay."
At noon, the table was filled with sumptuous food, including dishes from the three kingdoms of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. All of them were delicious and there was nothing wrong with them.
There were quite a few people sitting at the table, including the Eightfold Son of God, the Three Women of Thunder and Lightning, the Nine Saras, Mo Ran and Alice, a total of seven big shots gathered together.
In addition to Mo Ran, their biological son, they were also seeing off their mother, grandmother, and old lady.
I don’t know how long this separation will last, but as long as we are still in this world, we will meet again. We will meet again eventually. The future will not be too far away. As long as we keep our feet on the ground, we will be able to meet again.
The afternoon time is very pleasant. Perhaps it is a good choice to lie in bed and take a leisurely nap to replenish the energy needed in the afternoon.
Under the pavilion, Mo Ran and Alice sat opposite each other.
Outside the pavilion, the demons and monsters all stood there.
During these final moments, they just watched quietly by the side, without disturbing, destroying or getting in the way.
"Mom, take care on your way. Remember to let me know when you find dad."
"Okay...you should also be more careful and don't take risks all the time. There are many people who care about you, very much. Don't let them worry, understand?"
"I'll try my best."
"Little rascal, haha, it's time to say goodbye." Alice twisted the bracelet, and a door appeared in front of her.
Mo Ran stood up, bowed, and said, "Goodbye, Mom."
Alice tilted her head slightly and smiled, "Yeah."
After stepping through the door, the figure disappeared, the door also disappeared, and it seemed that nothing was left, but the traces in the heart and the tracks in the mind were still there.
Mo Ran leaned against a pillar, his face gloomy and he sighed deeply.
…………
In the blink of an eye, several years passed.
The peace and tranquility of Inazuma was finally broken by someone. Fatui began to be stationed in Tsurugan, and the number of wandering samurai and Kairanki increased dramatically.
Moreover, these people generally have a characteristic: they are emitting strange light all over their bodies, and their combat power can surpass that of ordinary holders of the Eye of God.
The moment Mo Ran received the news, he knew what that thing was. It was the evil eye that only the Fatui had. He still had a few of them in his storage space.
This kind of rebellion naturally could not be left unattended. Under the instruction of Lei Dian Zhen, General Lei Dian issued the Eye Hunting Order, and anyone holding the evil eye would be punished by law according to the circumstances of his actions.
It was quiet for a while after that, but although Heguan seemed stable, there were actually undercurrents. Many residents who were incited to resist were secretly gathering strength and preparing for a major war.
Kaijima sent its elite troops and the present-day miko who served as its military advisor to Narukami Island to assist in the battle. The great demon general Sasayuri, who was rumored to be invincible, also appeared in the military camp.
It is actually not difficult to win this battle. The general can even solve the problem by just going over and chopping it with his sword, but after all, that person belongs to one of the residents of Inazuma.
Others may not feel sad, but they themselves are. In addition, the Lord Tai Shang Yusho has given an order to wait and see the situation for the time being, and strive to destroy all the evil eyes in one fell swoop and once and for all. This delayed the process for a few months.
The reason for issuing this order was that when Mo Ran released elemental power to investigate, he saw a man in the Evil Eye Factory. The man was wearing an eye patch and seemed to be aware that someone was watching him. He smiled a faint smile, which was evil and mysterious.
This man was the one Mo Ran wanted to kill before coming to this world, the Fatui executive, the second doctor, Dotore.
In order to kill Dotore in one fell swoop, Mo Ran needs to wait, wait for an opportunity when Inazuma is in chaos and seems to be unable to care about anyone else, and then go and negotiate terms with him.
Finally, the chips were enough with the Heart of the Rock God in his hand.
After several small-scale conflicts, the rebels welcomed two foreign reinforcements. They were said to be heroes of the Federation's Liyue, who had fought against the devil before and had brilliant records and extraordinary strength.
The addition of such a person to the rebel army boosted their morale. They felt that even facing General Lei Dian would not be difficult. They advanced like a hot knife through butter and controlled the battle line at the coast on the southwest edge of Qinglai Island.
It is said that the two foreign players were appointed as the captain and assistant officer of Swordfish Team 2. Although they were only new members, they had extremely high prestige.
As soon as Mo Ran received this tip-off, he couldn't help laughing. The brother and sister really stood on the opposite side. However, this way all the exceptions have been gathered, so it's time for the show to begin.
"Everyone, I'm going to go out for a while. You don't need to follow me. Everything should proceed according to the original plan." Mo Ran stood up and walked out of the castle tower, leaving the two women of thunder and lightning inside.
With one step, his figure turned into lightning and instantly arrived at the direction of Heguan Island. Looking at an independent tent, there were a blond boy, a yellow-haired girl, and an unknown white-haired floating object with a very splendid look on its face.
"Three of you, it's time to look at each other with new eyes!"
"Who, who is talking?!" Paimon looked around and saw a figure in black clothes flashing.
"Hey, Mo Ran, why are you here?"
"Who is not a traveler?"
Kong smiled and said, "Mo Ran is here, please sit down."
Ying smiled, pulled a chair over, and urged, "Hurry up and sit down."
"Why are you all so enthusiastic?" Mo Ran sat on the chair. There was no problem. He was not pranked, otherwise he would not have sat down.
"In order to thank someone for returning something to me, I have to be nice to him reluctantly!" Ying put her hands on her hips, looking like she was about to praise me.
Paimeng nodded and said, "Oh, yes. Speaking of which, there was a lifetime discount coupon in the red envelope that Mo Ran gave me before! I didn't even have time to take it. Thank you very much."
As he spoke, Paimon felt embarrassed and scratched his head. Two blushes appeared on his porcelain doll-like face.
Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "How can an elder give someone a gift and ask for thanks? You should take back your words."
"Okay, okay." Paimeng agreed repeatedly. After all, she was still scared by Hall Master Hu's words about Liyue that people should not speak carelessly last time. She didn't dare to say anything nonsense to this senior Liyue person in front of her.
Kong poured a glass of water, pushed it next to the man in black, and asked, "By the way, is Mo Ran here to help us this time?"
Mo Ran smiled but said nothing.
"Yes, if Mo Ran joins our camp, the rebels will definitely be able to directly break into the castle tower and ask Thor to change the system to make Heguan prosperous!" Paimon kicked his legs, very excited.
"Oh?" Mo Ran closed his eyes slightly and spoke word by word, "You want me to help you deal with my sister's forces, and then break the original system and give Heguan a piece of pure land?"
"What!" Paimon was so scared that he fell backwards, his face full of disbelief.
Kong and Ying were also slightly surprised. How could the current Thunder God become Mo Ran's sister? Such a bizarre thing would be hard for anyone to believe.
Mo Ran said slowly: "Why are you so surprised? How about I tell you another piece of news. The high-end combat power of Ming Shen Island is still sitting in the back, and no one has taken action yet."
"At present, only human troops are involved in the battle. The situation in Heguan is somewhat precarious. Do you think Heguan can really win this battle?"
"We will try our best." Kong Mu was determined. Facing this friend in black, he would not take action, but he must eradicate the suffering of the people exposed by Heguan.
Mo Ran clasped his hands together, propped up his chin, and continued, "To put it bluntly, you tried your best, so what?"
Kong remained silent and did not speak, because his strength, or even the strength of the entire Heguan, was probably far inferior to the person in front of him.
However, with his pursuit of fairness and justice in his heart, and his unwillingness to see the people suffer, Kong's face became even more resolute, and he said, "The power of the people is great. Perhaps one person may seem insignificant, but when everyone unites, they will become powerful. Even the God of Thunder may not be invincible!"
"Your words are correct, your thoughts are correct, and you can even be said to be a very conscious person among human beings. Unfortunately, you are standing in the wrong direction." Mo Ran pointed a finger on the table and tapped it lightly.
"Do you know what the original system of Heguan is?" Mo Ran asked.
Paimon thought for a moment and said, "It suppresses the lives of the people, restricts their mental state, and makes the area barren."
"The so-called mental confinement does not just mean abolishing their use of human sacrifices and their oppressive life? If they have to work every day, it can barely be counted, but these are not only found in Heguan Island, there are many in other places." Mo Ran explained.
Kong opened his eyes wide and was about to speak when Ying grabbed his wrist and signaled him to shut up.
"If you think that war can change them..."
"Well, why don't you take a look at what Tsuru-kan looks like now? The war broke out, so the food that could have been imported from Narukami Island was cut off, and the injured soldiers had no medicine to treat them. And most importantly, the evil eye!"
Mo Ran continued slowly, "You all know the price of the evil eye. You need to pay with your life force in exchange for power. The residents of Heguan, who have been suppressed by the so-called system for so long, will do what they will do first after getting the power. I don't need to say more!"
"Kong, you don't know their past, and I understand why you help them because of what you've seen and heard, but don't you know the harm of the evil eye?"
"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. Almost everyone in the army holds the Evil Eye. It's impossible to order it to be abolished." Kong said palely and weakly, "I can't do it!"
"Why don't you get out? You are not a resident of Heguan Island. With your strength and prestige, it is not difficult to get a ship and leave."
"But the children are innocent and should not be harmed. I also want to leave, but what should I do with the hundreds of children who are fostered under my name?"
Mo Ran's eyes flashed, "Are you doing this for those children?"
Sora nodded heavily and said, "That's right."
"The child is indeed innocent and should not suffer unnecessary harm because of the resistance of these adults." Mo Ran leaned back in his chair, and the broken memories of his childhood came back to him, making his head hurt a little.
There were quite a few Fatui on Heguan Island. Sora must have been tormented in his heart for being able to put aside his prejudices and join the same camp with them.
He exhaled heavily and said faintly: "As a friend, I can help you solve this problem, but in return, you should not be involved in the future affairs between the two sides."
"Okay!" Ying agreed immediately. She must have already seen through Heguan's true nature. After all, she was the Princess of the Abyss who woke up five hundred years earlier than Kong. Her experience was not comparable to that of Kong, who lived in a peacetime era.
Paimeng looked at the two people who suddenly reached an agreement and felt confused. She didn't understand these negotiations at all. She just felt that Mo Ran was indeed considering them and knew that He Guan was wrong. Having these understandings was enough for her.
Mo Ran continued: "The next plan will require your cooperation..."
