Chapter 747 Going to Inazuma to Help
After the celebration banquet at Qianzhiwu, Shao Yun and his group returned to their residence in the evening.
As soon as they opened the door, the light in the house was still warm and soft, welcoming the four people back.
As soon as Paimon entered the room, he touched his bulging belly, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he sighed:
"Wow, today's celebration banquet was awesome. I ate so much that I feel like I can't even fly!"
After saying that, Paimeng turned his head, his eyes fell on Shao Yun, and said to him with a smile: "Now that we have eaten and drunk enough, Shao Yun, how about we watch a movie together?"
Shao Yun looked at Paimeng's expectant expression and asked curiously, "Paimeng, you witnessed the entire filming process of "The Two Gunmen", why do you still want to watch this movie?"
Paimeng shook his head and explained to Shao Yun seriously: "Oh, Shao Yun, you don't understand! The experience of shooting a shadow and watching a shadow are completely different!"
"And this is the director's cut. It must be different from the projections in the studios built in the Piazza Vasari!"
Facing Paimeng's pleading eyes, Shao Yun finally couldn't resist and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, since you want to watch it so much, then Yuanshang, go set up the curtain and we'll show the movie together."
Yuan Shang quickly set up the screen in the living room, and Shao Yun placed the portable projector in a suitable position.
After making sure everything was ready, he gently pressed the play button.
In an instant, the movie scene flashed on the screen.
Ying, Paimon and Shenhe sat on the big sofa in the center, their eyes fixed on the screen, completely immersed in the plot of the movie.
Shao Yun and Yuan Shang sat on the small sofas on both sides respectively. Their eyes were also attracted by the movie and they smiled or sighed from time to time.
The director's cut of the movie is indeed different and is much longer than the normal released version.
The normal version is less than two hours, but this director's cut is 150 minutes, which is equivalent to two and a half hours!
Not only that, it also includes many more wonderful highlights. Including these highlights, the entire film's length reaches an amazing 160 minutes.
When the movie ended and the final scene faded to black, Paimon clapped excitedly.
"Wow, I didn't expect the director's cut prepared by Xavier to be so good! And it's so rich in content, with so many behind-the-scenes footage!"
After watching the movie, Shen He gave his own evaluation thoughtfully.
"Is this the reflection of Fontaine? It feels more vivid than the silhouette scene in Liyue."
Paimeng turned his head and looked at Shen He who was still immersed in the afterglow of the movie, and asked curiously: "Shen He, do you like this movie?"
Shen He nodded and said very seriously: "I like it."
Shao Yun yawned, and seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Okay, the movie is over, it's time to go to bed."
……
Since Shen He might live here for a long time, Shao Yun had no choice but to live in Yuanshang's room.
Yuanshang cherishes the night time very much. He forgets to eat and sleep and repeatedly reviews the knowledge in the parenting encyclopedia.
In Yuanshang's room, Shao Yun lay on the bed, waiting for sleepiness to come.
Just when he was feeling sleepy and about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a creaking sound from the door and the door opened a crack.
Immediately afterwards, a small figure came in. It turned out to be Ying.
Ying walked into the room carefully and asked softly, "Hubby, are you asleep?"
Shao Yun looked at Ying who sneaked in and asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Ying, is there anything wrong?"
Seeing that Shao Yun was still awake, Ying stopped being reserved and sat down beside the bed, saying, "I want to talk to you about something."
Shao Yun saw that Ying wanted to talk to him about something, so he sat up from the bed and asked with concern, "What's the matter?"
Ying took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Today during the day at Chiori-ya... do you think you should go to Inazuma?"
When Shao Yun heard Ying mention the conversation between him and Kamisato Ayato today, he couldn't help but frown.
"You mean, you want me to go to Inazuma to help Arataki Ichito?"
Seeing this, Ying nodded slightly and said gently, "Well... I think this is a good opportunity, and you don't seem to have much to do recently. How about..."
However, Shao Yun shook his head decisively, interrupted Ying's words, and began to analyze his current situation to her.
"Even if I wanted to go back, I really couldn't do it."
"Look at my current situation! To the south of Fontaine is Xumi, and Nashida hates me to the core. Something bad will happen once I enter the country."
“As for Liyue, I really don’t want to see the faces of Ningguang and Zhongli again, otherwise I will lose control of myself and go on a killing spree!”
Ying didn't agree with Shao Yun's explanation and asked directly: "Then why don't you let Yuanshang open the abyss portal directly and send you to Inazuma?"
Before Shao Yun could finish his words, he quickly continued to explain: "Even if I can successfully reach Inazuma, there is still a most critical problem that needs to be solved, and that is the Eightfold Divine Son."
"I killed Baalzebub. If the Eightfold Goddess had any brains, she wouldn't want me to go back."
Ying gave a different opinion, saying: "Because of this, you need to show her your friendly side even more. Maybe this is an opportunity."
When Shao Yun heard Ying, he felt that this was an opportunity for him to ease the tension between himself and the Eightfold Divine Son, and said uncertainly:
"I'm not sure how solving the case of Ms. Hiiragi Chisato's kidnapping has anything to do with easing the relationship between me and Yae Miko."
Ying suddenly stretched out her hand and held his hand tightly.
She gently persuaded: "At least, let Yae Shenzi know that you are not just a 'trouble' for her, right?"
Shao Yun pursed his lips slightly, and he replied vaguely: "I will think about it carefully, you go and rest first."
In fact, he was already somewhat shaken in his heart, but he still needed some time to think about the issue carefully.
Seeing this, Ying nodded, then gently leaned forward and kissed Shao Yun on the cheek.
Shao Yun was a little surprised by this sudden kiss.
"Well...then you should think about it carefully." There was a hint of intimacy in Ying's voice.
"But no matter what choice you make, I will support you. This is just a small suggestion from me."
After saying that, she looked at Shao Yun with a smile, then turned and left, leaving Shao Yun alone on the bed, continuing to think about this choice.
……
After several days of careful consideration, Shao Yun finally adopted Ying's suggestion.
On the morning when he was about to set off for Inazuma, Shao Yun did not choose to go with Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka, but chose to open the abyss portal himself.
Because if we follow the Kamisato brothers and sisters, we will definitely pass through Sumeru or Liyue.
Both places might cause unnecessary trouble and delays, so he would rather choose a more direct way and reach Inazuma through the abyss portal.
When leaving home, Shao Yun stopped, turned around and looked at Ying, Paimeng, Yuanshang and Shenhe who came to see him off.
His eyes fell on Ying, and he said with concern: "I'm going to Inazuma, Ying, you must take good care of yourself."
However, before Ying could answer, Yuan Shang beside him patted his chest and assured without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Ying and Paimeng, and will never let them suffer any grievances!"
Then, Shen He quickly agreed, "I will also do my best to take care of Ying, Shao Yun, you can go without worry."
Hearing Yuan Shang and Shen He's firm commitment, Shao Yun's worries were slightly alleviated.
These two people are quite reliable. With them taking care of Ying, I can feel a little more at ease.
"Okay, in that case, I'm relieved."
Shao Yun climbed onto his horse and prepared to set off.
"I'll be back as soon as possible." After leaving this sentence, Shao Yun rode away on his horse.
After all, you are opening an abyss portal, so it is better to choose a deserted place in the wild.
……
Inazuma, Narukami Island, and the desolate sea area.
Shao Yun passed through the abyss portal and stepped into this strange yet familiar land.
He looked around, and the remains of the desolate sea appeared before him.
Shao Yun looked at these ruins and finally he confirmed that this was Inazuma.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that I would actually come back here again." Shao Yun muttered to himself.
At this moment, a dialog box suddenly popped up.
So, what are you going to do?
Shao Yun touched his chin, began to think, and then said: "I think Shinnosuke is a big suspect, but according to the content of the detective novel that Paimon read recently..."
He paused to organize his thoughts, then continued, "I thought about it carefully, and the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family do have many enemies."
"I plan to look at it from multiple perspectives first to understand how it happened."
The system did not give much affirmation to Shao Yun's plan, but instead gave a sarcastic evaluation.
【Detective novels... Sherlock Holmes...】
Shao Yun knew that the system was teasing him, but he didn't care. Instead, he casually teased: "How about you use your remaining abilities to help me find the murderer directly?"
The system quickly responded: [Before I help you, I think you need to meet the Eightfold Son of God first.]
When Shao Yun saw that the system suggested that he should visit the Eightfold Divine Child first, he said to himself, "You are right. I, the 'human disaster', have come. I need to remind her."
