Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 948 Returning to Mei Castle

The chase between Sue and Leosley ended in a strange way.

Navelette walked suspiciously to the group of people who were stopped in the middle of the road and found that Sue and Leosley's hands were handcuffed to the same pair of handcuffs.

Navelle:...

Navette: "How did it come to this?"

Paimon recalled with a look of utter dismay, "Leosley tripped on the floor tile, and Sue seized the opportunity to pounce on his back and grab him."

Immediately after successfully hunting, Sue snatched the handcuffs hanging from Leosley's waist and cuffed Leosley's right hand with a "click".

However, before the girl could even show a smug smile, Leosley instinctively grabbed and handcuffed her, smoothly handcuffing Sue as well, resulting in the scene before her.

Kong showed a headache, "The handcuffs are all on the right hand, and now even walking has become a problem."

If you stand in a row, some people will have to walk backwards.

Even if you line up in a single file, it won't be much more convenient.

Sue swung the handcuff chains around loudly in dissatisfaction, "So why did you forget the handcuff key in Mello Petersburg?!"

"Because I was in such a rush to leave?" Leosley thought for a moment, then simply picked up the girl. "How about this?"

Sitting on Leosley's arm, Sue looked around and said, "Not bad! My view feels much wider now."

The last time I had a similar experience was when I rode the "Arataki" – I miss it so much!

Leosley: "Now that you're seated, come with me to Luze Cafe."

Paimon: "We're probably going to Mello Petersburg to get the keys, why are we going to a coffee shop?"

Although the issue of the operation has been temporarily resolved, this is far too ostentatious! Luze Cafe is a gossip hotspot!

A young man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding a wild yet reserved nature, held a girl who appeared exceptionally delicate and petite against his backdrop with one arm.

The handcuffs connecting the two wrists create a strange tension in the scene, making it very intriguing and thought-provoking.

It's like... a noble lady with a mysterious and secretive background, and a dangerous butler who suddenly appears beside her, who is most likely not human.

No, no, no! Now is not the time to let your imagination run wild and fill in the blanks!

In short, with Sue and Leosley strolling around Fontainebleau in this outfit, the Fontainebleau newspaper is sure to have another burst of inspiration!

Navelette also looked at Leosley with disapproval.

Leosley: "Since it's a rare opportunity to go out on a field trip, I should definitely bring some refreshments for my colleagues who are still working hard."

Everyone present immediately recalled what Leosley had said: that Siegwen was so busy she was practically flying because there were too many serious inmates lately.

"I see..." After hearing Leosley's reasoning, Paimon immediately had no words of objection.

Navelette's focus also veered off course: "Temporary busyness is fine, but Leosley, you must protect Siegwen. If she's bullied, I'll definitely call you into town to confront her."

Kong sighed deeply. "Leosley, make a list, and I'll go run it."

Leosley shrugged, a hint of regret in his voice, and said, "Well then, thanks, my friend."

——*——*——

Taking advantage of the fact that the heavy rain had just stopped and there were few pedestrians on the street, a group of people headed to the back of the Opiclie Opera House.

Once Sora returns with tea and snacks, the traveler's team and Leosley will head to Mero Petersburg.

Navilette: "Mello Petersburg is an independently operating department. Even as the Supreme Judge, I cannot issue you a certificate of completion of your sentence. Thank you for making this trip."

Sue simply couldn't do anything with the overly upright Navelette.

Asking Navelette to show favoritism is harder than anything else. But if he can't show favoritism to his friends, he himself will feel depressed and sad.

“We were planning to visit Leosley anyway, so Villette shouldn’t feel guilty.”

Paimon: "We'll also check on how Siegwen is doing, so don't worry, Villette!"

Navelette felt much more relaxed. After returning home and seeing her friends off, she went back to her office to continue working.

——*——*——

Upon arriving in Mello-Petersburg once again, the traveler's team avoided many unnecessary checks.

Paimon watched the hurried jailers and thought, "Everyone seems very busy."

Sora: "Those prisoners who were released because of the special circumstances before."

Criminals are living beings too; we can't just let them drown in the deep sea.

After the flood receded, in order to maintain social stability, the criminals needed to be apprehended as soon as possible.

As a result, the Shadow Court, the Special Patrol Team, and the Security Team all worked overtime like crazy for a period of time.

“That’s right.” Leosley nodded. “And after experiencing the fresh air of freedom, some people inevitably become unruly.”

“Oh—” Su Miao understood, “Some guys have made contact with external forces or obtained new weapons, and are preparing to stir up trouble in Mero Petersburg.”

"What!" Paimon tensed up instantly. "The situation is so critical, how can you be so relaxed, Leosley?!"

Leosley wore a smug smile. "Because—"

"Because all conspiracies are paper tigers in the face of absolute power!" Su Zhen waved his arm. "Power!"

“Yes, that’s one of the reasons,” Leosley continued. “The second reason is that it’s easier for those guys to surface when I’m not around.”

Sue: "With the wolf king away, the bedbug reigns supreme!"

Paimon stared speechlessly at the girl who was playing the straight man for two seconds. "Su, why are you suddenly so excited?"

Kong sighed, having known the girl too much. "What else could it be? It's because she has another punching bag to beat up."

How could Sue be satisfied with just punching Ethan once?

Those guys in Mero Petersburg who were planning to commit crimes were essentially free punching bags delivered to their doorstep.

Su: "I was just trying to help out of kindness, and my actions were perfectly legitimate!"

Kong nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes."

Forget it, let's focus on the actions, not the intentions. Even if Su acted out of a desire to vent his anger, he was still doing something righteous.

Those criminals have at least made a small contribution to society and Su's good mood, which is not bad.

Leosley sighed and bounced the girl in his arms twice. "When you first came to Mero Petersburg, I felt that Sue was very suitable for this place."

As a haven for a large number of criminals, the hidden interests and factional conflicts within Mero Petersburg could easily lead to treacherous behavior.

Maintaining balance within Mero Petersburg is no easy task; it requires a degree of shrewdness, a touch of harshness, and a remarkably cruel approach.

If Su were by his side, he would only need to focus on the wrist area, showing a friendly and tolerant side.

"Don't suddenly jiggle me!" Sue retaliated by ruffling Leosley's unruly hair, making it even more unruly.

Paimon reacted strongly, "Where is this suitable?! Our Su is completely unsuitable for Melo Petersburg!"

Leosley: "Oh, sorry, I misspoke. I meant that Sue would be very suitable to be a prison warden..."

Before Leosley could finish speaking, Sora firmly expressed his opposition, "The warden won't do either; she's not suited for this place."

Seeing the blond boy's serious expression, devoid of any smile, Leosley suspected that if she didn't change her mind, they would never come to Mello Petersburg again.

Leosley raised his hand and ruffled his hair, making it even more disheveled, and decisively admitted his mistake.

"Okay, you're right, flowers definitely should live in the sunshine."

Perhaps it was the handcuffs around his wrists that gave him the illusion of control, allowing his untimely selfish desires to stir.

He never imagined he'd have such a naive and immature side.

"Let's go, let's go to the office and get the handcuff key."
