Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 570: Unexpected Enemies (Part )

"Chang Ming? What's wrong?"

Looking at Chang Ming who suddenly stopped, Funina blinked slightly, feeling a little confused for a moment, but also a little... puzzled.

She heard what Chang Ming said, but...what is the power of the abyss? Why is there such a thing in Melo Petersburg?

Could it be that Alechino did something when she came here? But this is not in line with her interest chain, right?

"I suddenly felt a familiar force, but I couldn't tell what it was..."

Chang Ming touched his chin, as if he was thinking about something.

Navia and Clorinde also stopped and looked alert, as if they were preparing for some sudden danger.

The power that Chang Ming feels familiar with is still in Melo Petersburg, and it is basically not friendly, because those who have a good impression of Fontaine and Chang Ming... are now above the water.

It's just a simple process of elimination.

After thinking for a while, Chang Ming slowly closed his eyes. The pair of black wings appeared behind him without warning, which also indicated that... Chang Ming had used power beyond the scope of the world.

"The power of the abyss... Then use the power of the same source to pursue it. Either it is an unexpected situation, or the Abyss Cult is attacking us."

Although Chang Ming already had a conclusion in his mind, but...that conclusion was a bit too absurd.

There are only three people who can participate in the affairs of the Narcissus Cross Society and possess the power of the abyss...

Caterpillar, Rene, and Jacob.

Caterpillar is still looking for Lenore in the heavy punishment area, so it is impossible for her to appear in the direction of the light punishment area.

Rene's current state should still be in the depths of the primordial fetal sea. After all, the "sleeping place" has not been unlocked yet, and the pure water elf "An" has not appeared yet, which makes this even more impossible.

But Jacob was a little too exaggerated.

Chang Ming killed Jacob with his own hands. To be on the safe side, he also left many backup plans to ensure that Jacob would not be able to walk out of Erinus' body alive.

But from a realistic point of view...he is the only one who can participate in this matter.

'Could it be that the trigger paddle didn't kill him outright? That's impossible...'

Chang Ming thought about this while following the traces left by the recent explosion of power, and soon found a place... where there was no light at all.

Through the transmission of the power of the abyss, Chang Ming "saw" the source of the power.

It was a dark and damp cave. With the faint light emanating from the center, Chang Ming was able to observe the surroundings.

It is called a cave, but what surrounds it is not stone, but iron plates.

With the rusty metal shelves scattered on the ground, this place looks more like an abandoned warehouse than a cave.

And in the middle of the entire warehouse, there is a tree - a strange purple-black tree covered with scarlet eyes.

The bark of the trees was wriggling as if it had life, and the hanging branches, no - rather than branches, it would be more accurate to say they were tentacles.

Because that thing was twisting irregularly, as if it had...an independent life.

There seemed to be something hanging at the end of one of the branches. Because of this, Chang Ming increased his power output, and the surrounding scene gradually became clear.

With the help of the faint light emitted by the scarlet eyes on the tree trunk, Chang Ming saw the object hanging at the end of the branch - it was Lenore who had disappeared inexplicably.

Seeing this, Chang Ming instantly retracted his strength and his expression became serious.

"As expected... things are not that simple."

Chang Ming gently touched his chin, then turned to look at Fu Nina who was looking at him with some concern and said softly:

"Fu Fu, what I'm going to say next is very important, listen carefully."

"First, you go with Navia and Clorinde to find Ying and Paimon on the surface, and work with them to search for Lenore on the surface."

"Second, hold this thing. It's used to track my location. I'll teach you how to use it later."

"The third and last one is - you must not act rashly. Lenore's disappearance is not that simple. Although she was defeated... I can't explain what happened now."

After hearing this, Funina, who was still a little confused at first, gradually came to her senses and asked in disbelief:

"Could it be that Lenore's disappearance was actually caused by your enemies? But haven't they already--"

"Those who were hostile to me in Fontaine should have been buried long ago, and those who should have submitted should have submitted. Behind this matter... there is someone else."

Chang Ming's expression became a little solemn. He didn't know how Jacob survived, nor did he know why he changed from the "Baptist of Deep Sin" to such a... weird tree.

And it was precisely because of this change that he dared not act rashly, which meant... he could not take Funina with him.

He never does anything without being sure.

After hearing Chang Ming's words, Funina's expression became solemn, but in the end she sighed helplessly.

She gently tugged at Chang Ming's sleeve, and then considerately straightened his collar in front of Navia and Clorinde - although Chang Ming's collar was very neat, but... this action was still necessary.

"I know how to use this little thing. Just press it lightly and it will follow the energy path to find you."

"Be sure to be safe. If there is anything you can't handle, come back immediately. We will go talk to Mr. Villette and Mr. Cassiodoro."

Hearing this, Chang Ming nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the abandoned pipe.

Although he really wanted to explain more things to Funina, but...if he stayed a little longer, things would become complicated and Lenore would be in more danger.

He didn't want to do that, so he had to leave in a hurry.

......

At the same time, somewhere in a corner of the continent of Teyvat.

A blond man sat on a high throne. He listened expressionlessly as the poet half-kneeling in front of him described what had happened recently in Fontaine.

"That unruly Baptist has changed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"...You, take the two Abyss Apostles with you to check out the situation. If the regent intends to resolve this issue, remember to make your position clear."

"Although reputation is useless to you and me, it is still better than having an enemy for no reason."

"One Dainsleb is enough to give me a headache. If another Chang Ming comes...it will be a big problem."
