“Bzzz…”

The first ray of morning sunlight fell on Bai Luo’s face, waking him from his slumber.

Opening his eyes, he saw several thunderfireflies flying around him.

At the same time, he shooed away some Hilichurls who were trying to approach him.

After getting rid of these troublemakers, Bai Luo looked inside the tent.

Because Ksenia got drunk, Bai Luo took the initiative to take up the night watch duty.

In reality, he just felt a bit awkward sharing a tent with her.

Although Ksenia didn’t seem to mind, Bai Luo was, after all, a proper Liyuean at heart.

He couldn’t bring himself to take advantage of someone in such a vulnerable state.

However, he took this opportunity to mark Ksenia. With this mark, he could come and find her anytime to catch up and spend the time with.

He stretched lazily and looked around, but he didn’t find Ksenia’s figure.

He finally discovered her message and a hand-drawn map next to the cooking pot.

As a member of the Fatui’s Brigade’s advance team, she also had her own mission.

After leaving some food for Bai Luo, she went to “work.”

Seeing Ksenia’s graceful yet wild handwriting, Bai Luo smiled and took out several jars of jam from his pocket.

He brought them from the Chasm, where he had stayed for so long. He didn’t fall in love with Pyro or Hydro, but he did fall in love with the taste of jam.

After coming out, he liked to carry some with him.

He’ll take these as a gift for her.

…

After carefully studying the somewhat abstract map, Bai Luo realized one thing.

Last night, he followed the “little thief” and left the island directly. Then, he was taken by Sara and passed through the nearby Mountain to reach Mt. Yougou.

No wonder he felt that the mountain nearby looked very familiar.

Fortunately, he didn’t climb that mountain on a whim, or he wouldn’t know if he could handle the fox that had lived for hundreds of years on top of it.

After roughly determining the direction, Bai Luo headed towards the island.

On the way, he wasn’t in a hurry.

As long as he returned before dark, it would be fine.

He rarely came to Inazuma, and before being swept away by Raiden Shogun, he might as well take a few more looks.

When passing by a fox statue, he didn’t forget to say hello to a shrine maiden girl wearing a fox mask.

Just as he was about to leave Konda Village and step onto the road back to the island, a noise behind him made Bai Luo quietly conceal his figure.

[Shadowstep: After 1 second, enter stealth and increase movement speed by 8%. Stealth is broken after performing a normal attack or casting a skill, but the next attack will be a guaranteed critical hit.]

This was one of his biggest trump cards in becoming the instructor of the Fatui Pyro Agent..

Once he entered Shadowstep, even the rest of the Fatui Harbinger wouldn’t be able to sense his presence.

The Tsaritsai knew about this by chance and even came to the Pyro Agent’s training camp in person.

Afterward, the rooster that accompanied the Tsaritsa told Bai Luo that after witnessing his Shadowstep, the Tsaritsa left a comment.

“Interesting.”

Not long after the Tsaritsa visited, Bai Luo was promoted to the Twelfth Harbinger.

Bai Luo suspected that even the Seven would be unable to see through his Shadowstep.

Before long, a group of vagabonds holding long knives appeared in Bai Luo’s sight.

Their target probably wasn’t Bai Luo. Even though Bai Luo’s figure was no longer in sight on the road, they continued running in a serious direction.

These guys were called the “Nobushi,” and even the Fatui’s Brigade often hated them to the bone.

They had lost all the dignity of being warriors and, for their own interests, even colluded with Treasure Hoarders.

Now, they had gathered together, which piqued Bai Luo’s interest.

Taking advantage of his Shadowstep, Bai Luo quietly followed the group of Nobushi and headed towards the border between Narukami Island and Inazuma Island.

As the duration of Shadowstep was not permanent, to avoid being detected, he kept a distance between himself and the Nobushi. It wasn’t that he couldn’t defeat them; he just didn’t want to alert them.

Before long, he heard sounds of fighting and battle cries up ahead.

Bai Luo’s Shadowstep effect had ended. Originally, he intended to use stealth again to investigate the situation, but suddenly, he heard a strange sound at his feet.

Looking down, he saw a pure white cat crouching beside him, hiding in the same spot as him.

Its sapphire-like eyes were fixed on Bai Luo.

The appearance of Bai Luo startled it, and it seemed wary of him.

“Is it them?”

Looking at the somewhat familiar cat by his feet, the images of two figures suddenly surfaced in Bai Luo’s mind.

So, under the slightly frightened gaze of the white cat, he disappeared from its sight again, taking the little fellow with him to the site of the battle.

Before he arrived, Bai Luo already felt a refreshing wind.

Accompanying this wind were dazzling flashes of lightning.

No matter how strong the Nobushi were, they couldn’t surpass the strength of the two Wanderers who wield the power of the Vision.

When Bai Luo arrived at the scene, the one-sided battle had already ended.

The Nobushi lay defeated on the ground, indicating that these two seemingly calm youths were more dangerous than they appeared.

The taller youth put away his sword, holding a blade of grass used to amuse the cat in his mouth.

The battle seemed to have no effect on him.

Judging from the lightning on his flashing blade, he should be a wielder of the Electro Vision.

When he saw the white cat rushing towards him, he subconsciously extended his arm, wanting it to climb up to his shoulder as usual.

However, unexpectedly, the white cat jumped into his arms and desperately tried to get inside his clothes.

This strange scene made him, who had already relaxed, alert once again.

“Friend, since you’re here, why not come out for a chat?”

The youth, seemingly relaxed, hugged the cat in his arms. But in reality, he had prepared to unsheathe his sword.

Even when facing the evil Yokai, his cat hadn’t shown such a strong reaction.

It seemed that the hidden person lurking around was even more powerful than he had imagined.

“Huh?”

The other youth, who had already sheathed his sword, became vigilant upon hearing his companion’s words.

But after observing for a while, he found nothing unusual in the surroundings.

As a wielder of the Anemo Vision, he was very sensitive to the wind blowing around.

But the free-flowing wind told him that there was no one nearby.

“Are you mistaken…”

Before the youth finished speaking, a dark figure had already appeared not far in front of them, wearing a strange mask on his face.

His appearance was bizarre, clearly empty one moment, and suddenly appearing the next.

There wasn’t even a hint of movement or elemental reaction, completely defying their understanding of elemental combat techniques.

If he intended to assassinate them…

Thinking this, both youths broke out in a cold sweat simultaneously.

Because they realized they had no way to evade the other’s assassination and ambush.

“How about we have a chat?”
