Chapter 361: Plan in Progress, Keqing and Tianhe's Relationship, Mission Failure
Let me tell you something. At 7 o'clock in the morning, the author had to take the high-speed train to go to school. So, this should be the fourth update of the night. I hope you like it. My dear, I don't want to go to school.
Taixu Mountain, Tianqiong Peak, Zhongli took Alicia to the top of the mountain on a rock pillar. Now, it was already afternoon, but it was still early for both Zhongli and Alicia.
At the same time, on the other side.
The rest of the Fire Chaser team had already set off in an off-road vehicle. Of course, Mei had deliberately activated the simulated stealth function of the vehicle to prevent Zhongli from directly discovering it. This function was improved by Zhongli based on the original foundation of the previous civilization and combined with the technology of the universe.
However, this invisibility function will definitely be exposed in front of Zhongli who has the power of the end. After all, the little "invisibility" uses the visual "deception" effect to achieve the invisibility effect.
However, this thing can't even deceive Honkai beasts, how can it possibly deceive a Herrscher. Moreover, it's Tianhe who is far superior to the Herrscher. Therefore, they can only pin their hopes on Alicia, hoping that she can attract Zhongli's attention.
In Alicia's plan, Alicia was responsible for attracting Zhongli's attention, while Mei was responsible for driving and leading others to secretly climb the mountain from the other side of Tianqiong Peak. They tried their best to avoid being discovered by the other party, which would lead to an embarrassing situation when the plan failed.
Therefore, the focus of the plan should be on Alicia. They are responsible for observing and finding the flaws in Zhongli. Even if they can't find them, it is definitely a good thing for them to be one step closer to revealing the other party's identity.
So, without Zhongli's knowledge, both sides started to act at the same time.
Back to Zhongli and Alicia. Alicia walked in front, and Zhongli followed behind her for a long distance. It seemed that this road had no end. Zhongli looked at Alicia and spoke.
"Well, Miss Alicia. I have been walking with you for a while. Besides, Tianqiong Peak is far away from Wangsheng Hall. What question do you want to ask me?"
After hearing Zhongli's words, Alicia stopped walking, turned around and looked at Zhongli. "Hehe, then I will ask you a few questions here. Of course, you can answer or not."
At the same time, Mei drove to the designated location, and the others got out of the car after putting on their equipment and hid. Mei found a place to park the car, and she came to the place that Alicia had chosen for her, which was the highest point of Tianqiong Peak.
Here, not only can she see the entire Taixu Mountain, but she can also ensure that she will not be discovered. In order to ensure that she will not be discovered, she also turned on optical invisibility. Everyone came to the place that Alicia found for them and began to wait in full battle array.
The Fire Chaser team now looked as if they were facing a big boss. Although, using the term "big boss" to describe the pre-civilization Tianhe was too shabby. Tianhe was completely a plot-killer, the kind that humans could not resist at all.
However, they seemed too naive. All members of the [Fire Chaser] were unable to fight against Tianhe, the strongest Herrscher. Not to mention, they were just a small team, and it was too difficult to find Zhongli's flaws.
Zhongli looked up, as if he had discovered something interesting, but he did not say it. Alicia remembered her mission, and she began to attack Zhongli.
"Mr. Zhongli, I want to ask about your relationship with that [Yuheng Star] Keqing. Why are you so close? You obviously don't have much contact." Hearing Alicia's question, Zhongli fell into memories.
At first, when Keqing learned of her true identity, Zhongli thought she would understand what it meant for a subordinate not to speak ill of his superior. But Keqing turned against Tiangang and launched an offensive against him.
You know, as a hidden cook of the Emperor, Keqing keeps her love for the Emperor in her heart. After knowing the Emperor's true identity and hidden beauty, as well as his deeds. Now, it can be said that Keqing's favorability towards Tianhe has exploded, and she has become his number one fan.
Fortunately, Keqing is still a relatively conservative woman, she is not as open as Ye Lan. Moreover, this is not her home, this is the Hall of Rebirth. Otherwise, if it was in Keqing's home, Keqing might directly become like Ye Lan and attack Tianhe directly.
However, when Tianhe was teaching Keqing how to use Honkai Energy, Keqing would also pretend to be very tired and want to rest.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Keqing wants to quit, she just wants to use her rest time to get closer to Tianhe. And Keqing has done this, more than many people.
As for the reason, Keqing found that whenever her muscles were sore, Tianhe would take the initiative to help her heal. That feeling made her feel very comfortable and made Keqing feel like she was floating in the air. Moreover, that was the best time to get closer to Tianhe.
Taking this opportunity, Keqing successfully kissed Tianhe. Since then, the relationship between Keqing and Tianhe has become closer and closer, to the point that Keqing began to kiss her boss on the mouth from time to time.
Back to the present, Zhongli looked at Alicia. He thought about whether he should reveal one of his identities, otherwise it would be difficult to explain. After Zhongli thought it through, he explained to Alicia.
"Although, I don't know if you believe it or not, Alicia, but I am the founder of the International Column - the Rock King. Of course, you can believe it or not, maybe this is why she is close to me."
"Yeah, I believe it. Or rather, I guessed your identity not long ago. To be honest, I didn't expect Mr. Zhongli to hide so deeply. I am very surprised." Alicia looked very surprised.
But in fact, both she and Zhongli knew very well. Both sides were keeping an eye on each other, fearing that their cards would be revealed by the other side first. Zhongli only revealed one of his disguises.
This didn't affect him that much, as they would know his identity sooner or later. It didn't matter whether they knew it now or later.
"Perhaps, Miss Ai Li, you want to learn about the International Brigade through me." Zhongli began to test Ai Lisha, but Ai Lisha started to play dumb.
"How could that be? After such a long time of getting along, I believe that Zhongli Keqing is a good person. As the founder of the International Brigade, I believe that with your leadership, this organization will definitely become a convincing force."
"Then I'll take advantage of Miss Ellie's good wishes. It seems that it's getting late. So, does Miss Ellie have any other questions? If not, then let's get ready to go back." Alicia shook her head, indicating that she had no questions.
"That's good. However, don't bring so many guests next time. I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain them well enough." After hearing Zhongli's last words, Alicia realized that she and the others had been discovered as expected.
But Alicia still pretended to be dumbfounded. She quickly changed the subject and said, "Oh, I don't know what Mr. Zhongli is talking about. Let's go back quickly. The hall master can't wait any longer."
"Okay, okay, let's go back." After saying that, Zhongli and Alicia rode on the rock pillar and returned to the Hall of Rebirth. On the other side, everyone realized that Zhongli had already discovered them, but he deliberately said it when he was about to leave.
Seeing this, they felt very embarrassed, but since they had been discovered, this plan could be said to have failed, but fortunately, they knew one of Zhongli's identities, which was not bad.
So, they all returned to the SUV and drove home. Meanwhile, in the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao, Ye Lan, and Huang Quan got up one after another, while Keqing was still training her Honkai energy in the secret base, hoping to get Tianhe's reward. To be continued...
PS: I was going to post it at 12 o'clock, but I couldn't help posting it early, so it counts as the fourth update. Ah, my dear, I didn't want to post it early. I'm a bad author, ahhhhh
