Chapter 343: Homa's Staff, Simulating the Underworld, Returning to the Hall of Rebirth
"Hmm? That's..." Zhongli saw something coming towards him, and after a closer look, he found it was an off-road vehicle. Isn't that Mei, Alicia's car? Why are they coming here? He didn't reveal his whereabouts.
Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly came to Taixu Mountain, looking at their posture, his plan for today was definitely ruined. Zhongli began to pack up and prepare to run away. He didn't want to be discovered.
Just when Zhongli was about to leave Taixu Mountain secretly, the off-road vehicle quickly flew up Taixu Mountain. Chi Yuan was the first to come out, but she found that some places had traces of artificial modification. So Chi Yuan began to be alert and warned her companions.
"Hmm? Someone was here not long ago, and they probably haven't left yet. Everyone, be careful." After hearing Chi Yuan's warning, everyone became alert, even though the other party might not pose a threat to them. However, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, so they will not take it lightly.
"Ha, who would come to Taixu Mountain at this time? No one lives here. Mr. Zhongli Keqing shouldn't come here." Although Hu Tao didn't think there would be anyone in Taixu Mountain, she still obediently took out her spear.
This spear was made by the guest Zhongli himself, and Zhongli wanted to give it a nice name. However, Hu Tao refused and she named it the Staff of Homa herself.
Zhongli hid himself in the dark. He didn't expect Hu Tao to come and even took out his Homa Staff. However, Zhongli didn't plan to run away yet, because he wanted to see what they would do.
After a thorough search, the women did not find any trace of the other party. It was a waste of effort. Hu Tao leaned against a tree to rest. She thought of something and spoke to Chi Yuan beside her.
"Hey, Sister Chiyuan, could it be that the person found us coming and ran away in a hurry? We have been looking for such a long time and found nothing."
"Well... it's possible, but, Hu Tao, there's only so much time. If it's just an ordinary person, even if he runs, he can't get out of the range of Taixu Mountain. So, this person must still be hiding in Taixu Mountain."
"Hey, we've been looking for so long. Sister Chiyuan, have you ever thought that even if we find the person, I'm afraid in the end, we can only let him go. He didn't do anything to us. In this era, no matter who they are, when they see a flying thing rushing towards them, I'm afraid the first thing they will do is run."
"..." Chi Yuan was silenced by Hu Tao. She really didn't seem to think that much. However, after wasting so much time without finding anyone, she really shouldn't continue looking.
At the same time, on the other side
Zhongli seemed very relaxed, and avoided the search of the crowd. However, when he thought about being interrupted by the other party when he was wandering in the mortal world, even though they might not have meant it, he had to find something else to have fun.
So, Tianhe thought about it, and then he changed his appearance and walked out. No matter what identity Tianhe changed into, he would be suspected by everyone. So, Tianhe imitated the appearance of Huang Quan.
Then, Zhongli secretly went back to the Hall of Rebirth, and Huangquan walked towards the crowd. "!" Seeing a woman who looked like Mei walking towards them, the women became extremely alert.
"Who are you?" Chi Yuan stared at the other party with great vigilance. She had a hunch that she must not let the other party draw his sword no matter what. "Hmm? Who are you? My name is Huang Quan. By the way, where is this? Have we met somewhere before?"
"Oh, Miss Huang Quan, you can call me Alicia. I didn't expect you to look similar to Mei. It's really interesting."
Huang Quan looked at Alicia quietly, with no emotion on her face, which made Alicia a little embarrassed. At this moment, Huang Quan smiled faintly and spoke.
"Although, I don't know why you are so wary of me. But don't worry, I normally won't take action."
However, Miss Huang Quan seemed to have a bad memory. She looked around and seemed a little confused. Huang Quan asked Alysia, "By the way, Miss Aly, where is this place? I remember I was going to Pinocchio."
"Pinocone? What is that place?" Hearing the name Pinocone, Hu Tao was curious about the place. Also, when Hu Tao saw the way Huang Quan was dressed, she felt that his identity must be extraordinary.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I went to Pinocchio to look for someone named Tianhe. By the way, do you know this person?"
Hearing Huang Quan's words, Mei suddenly appeared in front of Huang Quan. She didn't expect that Huang Quan was also looking for Tian He. So, Mei held Huang Quan's hand tightly and said, "Ms. Huang Quan, I didn't expect that you and our purpose are the same. By the way, do you have a photo of Tian He?"
Huang Quan took out a photo from his body. It was a photo of Tianhe and Huang Quan during their time as Star Core Hunters. "This is a photo of him and me. Don't damage it."
"Hey, I also have a photo of Tianhe. Why don't we compare them? Maybe the person we know is the same one?" Alicia also took out a photo of Tianhe and herself.
Huang Quan thought about it and agreed with Alicia's suggestion. She compared herself with Alicia and found that the Tianhe they knew was the same person.
"Really, it's interesting. I originally thought he was in Pinoconi, but I didn't expect him to come here by accident. It turns out he is on this planet." 'Huangquan' seemed to be talking to Alicia, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Well, Miss Huang Quan, what was the identity of the Tianhe you know in the past?" Mei asked. Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, but then she slowly began to tell her past story.
"I remember that Tianhe had many identities in the universe. When I met him, Tianhe didn't tell me about his identity. But later, when I knew his true identity, I understood why he didn't want to say it.
Tianhe is actually a star core hunter. Maybe you don't know what a star core hunter is. Simply put, Tianhe was once a criminal wanted by the Interstellar Peace Company. However, the relationship between him and the Interstellar Peace Company is very ambiguous, because the company's requirement is to capture him alive without harming him.
Moreover, Tianhe has his own principles in what he does in the universe. He never hurts innocent people. After investigating thoroughly, he will expel all those who are not related to his mission. But there is one thing, this star core hunter likes to run around in the universe.
A long time ago, Tianhe came to our Izumo country. At that time, eight million gods descended. Oh, let me explain, eight million gods, if changed to the name in your world, it should be called collapse.
I never thought that a man wanted by the whole universe would lend us a helping hand when we need him. He solved the disaster of eight million gods, but our world has already fallen into the shadow of nothingness.
However, Tianhe did not give up on us. He gave us a choice, which was escapism. He once said, if you keep the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost; if you keep the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be kept!
So, we gave up the Izumo Kingdom, and under his leadership, we used all the resources of our entire world to implement this escapism. In the end, this plan was successful, and Tianhe left only after he confirmed that we had all left. However, we didn't expect that Tianhe had left us a backup plan.
After losing the Izumo Kingdom, he brought the people of Izumo Kingdom to a planet suitable for survival and redeveloped it. Even after he quit the Star Core Hunters and joined the Interstellar Peace Company, Tianhe still did not forget us and provided us with help. I just wanted to express my gratitude to him."
After hearing Tianhe from Huang Quan, the girls fell into a brief silence. Mei sighed and said, "So, you have also faced the threat of Honkai. Tianhe is really kind." "Huh? Wait, you said he quit the Star Core Hunters and joined the Interstellar Peace Company?"
Seeing Mei's surprised expression, Huang Quan nodded and continued, "Well, I don't know why Tianhe quit the Star Core Hunters. Maybe he has his own reasons. As soon as Tianhe quit the Star Core Hunters, the Interstellar Peace Company tried to withdraw all the wanted orders for Tianhe in the universe at all costs.
Then, Tianhe came to Interstellar Peace Company, and the board of directors directly arranged the best treatment for him. However, he was only willing to become a [Stone Heart Ten]. According to him, he wanted to become a better street urchin. "
"That's true. He is capable of doing this. Thank you for the information, Miss Huang Quan. However, we are also looking for him now. I can sense that Tianhe should still be in Shenzhou. Can you help us look for him?"
Huang Quan shook her head and explained, "To be honest, it's not that I don't want to help you find him. Unless he comes out on his own initiative, you won't be able to find him at all. It would be useless for me to help. Otherwise, why haven't I found him after searching for such a long time in the universe?"
"Ah, then let's go find guest official Zhongli. I still don't know where he went. Forget it, Miss Huang Quan, do you want to go back to the Hall of Rebirth with us?"
"Okay." Huang Quan nodded and agreed. She followed the other girls into the off-road vehicle, left Taixu Mountain, and headed back to the Wangsheng Hall. Zhongli had also returned to the Wangsheng Hall at this time. To be continued...
