"Wow——It's another movie-level cutscene!"
Little Gui raised both hands and cheered loudly.
[Cloud Retainer wife's movements are so good. Even though Childe's own strength isn't that great, his eyesight is top-notch.]
[In the plot so far, Childe has only said three people are strong: us, Yunshang, and Jun Bai, and each one is more heavyweight than the last. Is this the rigorous judgment of a Fatui Harbinger?]
[Envy the Wind Fist and the Ice Fatty.]
[These two Fatui members can die without regrets! One gets to be stepped on by Cloud Retainer wife's jade foot, and the other is even more excessive—he gets to be ridden by Cloud Retainer wife!]
"Watch your wording, watch your wording." Little Gui saw what appeared to be sensitive bullet comments and quickly reminded them.
"Everyone, Little Gui knows this plot segment has gotten you all excited. Even I, Little Gui, am fired up. But no matter how excited you are, please mind your language. Don't get my livestream room banned."
Little Gui recalled the terrible experiences of frequently getting her livestream banned back when she did variety content.
Now that she had switched to being a game streamer, she could no longer live like that.
So Little Gui had the super moderator mute some accounts that showed signs of losing control. Only then did the atmosphere in the comment section improve somewhat.
[Some people almost gave Little Gui psychological trauma right there in the barbershop.]
[Back then when Little Gui and Li Big Pillow were livestreaming "chest-breaking big rocks," we had a record of eight consecutive bans in one day. It's normal to have PTSD.] (This is just for fun, don't take it seriously.)
[This cutscene's quality is still on point, but there seems to be something off about it.]
[I want to go to Shanghai and ask miHoYo why the protagonist in the plot is like a war god slaughtering in all directions, while my in-game protagonist struggles to even beat a Hilichurl Rogue.]
Little Gui looked at the scene on the screen where Lumine swung her greatsword and swept in all directions, and couldn't help sighing: "The protagonist's plot strength is maxed out, so the gameplay strength can only go down."
The cutscene ended, and next came the hands-on gameplay segment.
Fatui Skirmishers would spawn on the field, and the player needed to control their characters to defeat all of them.
This made Little Gui really want to complain. The cutscene had already shown them all being beaten, and only now were they letting the player fight the plot battle.
Wasn't the order reversed?
Of course, complaints aside, Little Gui still seriously began controlling the character.
Because it was a plot battle, the stats of the spawned Fatui Skirmishers were greatly reduced compared to the open world.
Moreover, they did not put up shields!
This was the episode that open-world players who suffered from Fatui the most loved.
[I never thought there would be a day when the Electrohammer Vanguard would only be this easy. So comfortable.]
[It feels so good not getting perma-frozen by the Ice Fatty.]
[Wake up, the people in front. The Ice Fatty just stopped putting up shields, he didn't stop applying Cryo. If you bring Barbara you'll still get perma-frozen.]
After easily winning the plot battle, the story moved into dialogue. Lumine, Paimon, and Yunshang decided to head to the second floor to destroy all the Unrestricted Seals.
Upon reaching the second floor, the quest prompted them to use fire to destroy all the Unrestricted Seals.
Little Gui took out her trusty Amber the Pyro Archer and lit all the Unrestricted Seals in the second-floor rooms.
Then another cutscene played.
"I only went out to find some samples. I didn't expect that rats would take advantage of the owner's absence and cause such a ruckus here."
Clear footsteps sounded in the scene.
A tall, slender figure appeared inside the stronghold.
Shoulder-length light blue medium-length hair, a black mask covering the face. The face was thin and sharp, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised. Under the pitch-black greatcoat was a black uniform.
The Second of the Fatui Harbingers——[The Doctor].
[The Fatui really don't have a single bad-looking member.]
[Jun Bai once said that Osial's seal was destroyed by this person.]
[Second seat, so this is probably going to be another fierce battle.]
"Another plot battle? Bring it on, I'm not afraid at all!" Little Gui, who had just taken revenge on the Fatui Skirmishers, felt she was now terrifyingly strong.
——Teyvat
"Second of the Fatui Harbingers, [The Doctor]." Yunshang said coldly, "I knew you were hiding in this stronghold."
"The Doctor? He's the one who destroyed Osial's seal?" Lumine's vigilance rose to the maximum.
But at the same time, Lumine felt something was off.
Because judging from the oppressive feeling alone, the Doctor's strength was even weaker than that of the Lady who had appeared in Mondstadt back then.
"Even Tianquan Ningguang failed to notice my traces." The Doctor looked at Yunshang. "The intelligence of the Guili Assembly's Ziwei Star is still as meticulous as ever."
"Yes, it really is meticulous. So meticulous that the positions of all four of your Harbingers are completely exposed."
"Right now, my brother and the Liyue Qixing have already surrounded Childe, the Lady, and the Regrator respectively." Yunshang raised her face and smiled. "And you are now surrounded by me and the Traveler."
Hearing this, Paimon suddenly realized: "So this morning, Keqing and Ganyu were going to do this?"
"Yes. Originally I also planned to mobilize the Millelith to surround this place." Yunshang explained, "But on the way I ran into the two of you, so I changed my plan on the spot."
"According to the intelligence my brother and I have, the Traveler alone can exert the power of over a hundred people."
Lumine said: "Over a hundred people is still a bit exaggerated."
While the three were chatting, the face under the Doctor's mask gradually darkened:
"…You intend to provoke the Cryo Archon during the period when the Geo Archon's whereabouts are unknown?"
"What a thing to say. Weren't you Fatui the ones who took advantage of Rex Lapis's disappearance to provoke Liyue?"
"Since you were prepared to make small moves, you should also be prepared to be retaliated against by Liyue, right?" Yunshang's smile was meaningful.
"…Then if you surround me like this, aren't you afraid I'll fight to the death?" The Doctor said through gritted teeth.
"A mere combat-inept [Segment] wants to trade with me? Are you serious?" Yunshang mercilessly mocked.
[Segment]? Hearing an unfamiliar term, Lumine subconsciously looked at Yunshang.
Yunshang's gaze never left the Doctor, but she still noticed Lumine's confusion and answered: "This madman used some method to turn his different age stages into separate individuals. Those are called Segments."
"Different age stages… that sounds really creepy."
Paimon commented.
"Why else would we call the Doctor a madman?" Yunshang smiled. "Among the top three Fatui Harbingers, every single one has the strength to rival a god."
"The Doctor is ranked second, so if the Doctor at his peak appeared here, then me and all of you might have to stay in this place together."
"But it looks like we're quite lucky. This Doctor appears to be around twenty years old, exactly a Segment that is not skilled in combat."
Lumine suddenly understood. This explained why the oppressive feeling from the Doctor before her wasn't that strong.
However, Lumine did not let down her guard and said: "Yunshang, be careful. He may have God remains and Abyssal power on him."
Jun Bai had said that both of those things on the seal at Guyun Stone Forest came from the Doctor, so even if the Doctor before them was only a Segment, they could not relax their vigilance.
After all, no one knew whether this Doctor was the same one who destroyed the Guyun Stone Forest seal.
Yunshang, however, continued to maintain her smile and said: "Traveler, don't worry."
"Do you think I'm chatting with him here just so he can die knowing why?"
"Doctor, I'm waiting for reinforcements. What about you?"
The moment Yunshang finished speaking, the Doctor's expression changed drastically.
