Chapter 297 New Feature: All Phenomena Followed
The Mikage Furnace was activated again.
Knowing that the mission had completely failed, the dignified lady in the mirror clasped her hands in front of her, gave a slight bow to Xu Ning, who had killed her colleague, and slowly retreated into the water mirror behind her before disappearing from sight.
The lightning mage had already disappeared sometime earlier.
"So this solves the problem of the big bomb?"
Beidou was not entirely satisfied with the buzzing sound just now; she had originally thought there would be a grander restart ceremony.
Xavier laughed and said, "That's it. As long as the Shadow Furnace is activated again, the power of those evil spirits will be continuously converted into heat and power, making it very difficult to cause any major damage. Our work can be declared perfectly completed."
Xu Ning pointed to the corpses of the Fools' guerrillas on the ground and asked, "If the Fools are still determined to get their hands on this thing, what can they do?"
Xavier shook his head. "Then the only option left is to use the Kamui Island Cannon to directly shatter the Mikage Furnace Core."
After saying that, Xavier laughed and said, "However, that would basically be equivalent to starting a war with the Shogunate. I don't think the Empress of Winter would agree to do that. After all, they just offended your Liyue, and it would be unwise to make Inazuma an enemy as well."
Beidou thought to himself that he had had the same thought just now, smiled at Xu Ning, and secretly felt relieved.
Xavier fiddled with the instruments beside him for a while, then straightened up and said, "The instruments show that the concentration of evil spirits here has rapidly decreased to a harmless level, but I don't want to stay in this hellhole at all right now. That guy named Toranosuke in Kujou Jinya said he would give me a commensurate reward."
Xu Ning seemed to remember something, and with an "Ah," he turned to face Xavier. "Speaking of compensation, it reminds me of something."
These words made Xavier tense.
Xu Ning took out a lens from his pocket, which turned out to be the "commemorative lens" that Inagi Hotaru had given him.
"As per our agreement, this phonograph machine will be mine after this is over. But, would you mind replacing this lens?"
Xavier reached out and took the lens, exclaiming in surprise, "Where did you get this lens? I can't believe I've seen such a finely handcrafted piece, and the material of this lens is so unique."
"Fortunately, this lens is exactly the shape of this model, so it's very easy to replace. Just like this, that's all."
Xu Ning took the brand-new phonograph from Xavier, raised it, and pointed it at the great inventor of Fontainebleau.
"You scared me to death! I thought this Liyue person wasn't satisfied with the phonograph I gave them and wanted more money as compensation!"
Xu Ning immediately sensed a transmission similar to a thought.
"All phenomena follow thought, so this is the function of the Memory Mirror. No wonder the Eightfold Divine Child could see the good and evil in people's hearts by relying on the hollow street lamp made of dream wood. In the end, it is just the magic attached to it that plays a role."
In high spirits, Xu Ning put the phonograph in his pocket and agreed to Xavier's request to take him back to the Kujou Jinya.
After emerging from the winding mountain road, the sky was filled with stars.
Beneath the statue of Thor where Xu Ning and Xavier first met, Xu Ning treated Xavier to a hearty meal of Liyue cuisine.
Then they helped Xavier set up the tent, and the two of them went into the Dust-Hidden Cave. This made Xavier marvel at the wonders of Liyue's magic.
After escorting Xavier back to Kujou Jinya, he went to find Toranosuke to demand his reward.
Xu Ning and his companion encountered Kujo Sara, who had deliberately sought them out.
"I heard that you encountered the Fatui while helping Xavier repair the Mikage's core?"
Xu Ning laughed and said, "It would be strange if we hadn't met. I remember telling you that."
Kujo Sara said in a deep voice, "I still need to see the evidence with my own eyes before I can completely believe you."
Xu Ning nodded. "You'll see. Why has it been so quiet lately? Haven't there been any military operations against the resistance?"
Kujo Sara pursed her lips, glanced at Hokuto, and said coldly, "This is a military secret, I cannot disclose it."
As if realizing she had spoken too harshly, Kujo Sara paused before continuing, "According to reports from our soldiers stationed on a certain island, recently, abnormal monsters have been gathering in several places on Tasasuna and Hachiman Island, seemingly attracted by a strange force. Moreover, someone who may have disappeared for a long time... has suddenly returned and stolen a powerful weapon. Perhaps they have other plans, which has indeed diverted some of our attention."
Xu Ning and Bei Dou exchanged a glance, and they both chuckled to themselves without saying a word.
As they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from the back of the Kujou Jinya.
A guard from Kujo Sara ran over quickly and reported loudly to Kujo Sara: "That blond stranger suddenly appeared in the back mountain. Yosuke's squad is confronting him. Lord Kujo has already gone there. It seems that the other party wants to come here to find this Lord Xu Ning."
Kujo Sara and Xu Ning were both taken aback. Could something serious have happened to the resistance army that made Kong Gan risk such a great danger to rush into the military camp to look for them?
"Let's go take a look!"
Beidou had a good impression of both Kong and the resistance, but he disliked the Shogunate very much and felt that something might be wrong there, so he urged Xu Ning to hurry up.
Xu Ning nodded, grabbed Beidou's hand, and quickly ran towards the back mountain.
When Xu Ning arrived there, he realized why Kong had entered Kujo's military camp so easily.
On the edge of the cliff behind the mountain, a lone teleportation anchor point stands. This kid somehow managed to activate it secretly, which is why he was able to appear here directly.
However, Kujo Sara probably knew about Sora's ability and had arranged for Yosuke's squad to guard the area in advance.
Kujo Masahiro had already drawn his sword, ready to lead the group in a charge.
Xu Ning rushed over and shouted, "Kong, what are you doing? Even if you're in a hurry to find me, you can't just barge in here! Get out of here with me!"
Kujo Masahito said coldly from the side, "Lord Xu Ning, don't forget that this person is still a wanted criminal of our shogunate. Now he has not only joined the rebel army, but also trespassed into our camp. Do you think he can get away with it?"
Sora said arrogantly to Kujo Masahito, "If I want to leave, none of you can stop me. I just have urgent business with Brother Xu."
Xu Ning looked at the veins on the head of the nine officers, which were almost bursting, and asked into the air, "Where?"
He paused for a moment, then immediately understood.
“Nakashida West”.
