The Hydro Cicin Mage looked at Qiu Bai before her with a fawning expression.
"Take us inside."
"My two friends here want to see the Delusion Factory."
Qiu Bai looked at the two Fatui members before him and said.
"This..."
The Cryo Cicin Mage, hearing this, looked at Lumine and Paimon with some hesitation.
"What, is that not allowed?"
Qiu Bai looked at the Cryo Cicin Mage before him, frowning as he spoke.
"No, no, no, of course it is!"
"It just that the miasma inside is harmful. I'm afraid it might hurt the three great ones."
The Cryo Cicin Mage hurriedly waved her hands and said.
"It fine, we're not afraid."
"Let us in."
Qiu Bai looked at the Cryo Cicin Mage before him and said with a smile.
"Harmful miasma? Orobashi resentment should have been eliminated by me already..."
"What other harmful miasma could still be inside?"
Qiu Bai rubbed his chin, murmuring with some confusion in his heart.
"Great ones, please follow me."
The Cryo Cicin Mage looked at the people before her and spoke with trepidation.
She then led the group into the Delusion Factory.
The Fatui members on the way pointed and whispered about them.
"Who are these people?"
"They're not wearing Snezhnayan uniforms, how can they just walk in like this?"
A Fatui member looked at the group walking in with some surprise.
"Don't know."
"Never seen them before. Maybe they're intelligence agents for Lord Scaramouche?"
The Fatui member beside him shook his head and said with confusion.
"Wait, I remember now!"
A Fatui member suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead.
He took out the paper from his pocket, looked at Qiu Bai, then looked at the paper in his hand again.
"This, this is Consultant Qiu Bai from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!"
The Fatui member holding the paper looked at Qiu Bai who was following behind the Cryo Cicin Mage and said in shock.
"What did you say? Consultant Qiu Bai?!"
"That guy, what luck he has, to be guiding this great one."
The Pyroslinger beside him looked at the Cryo Cicin Mage walking in front with an envious expression.
"That Consultant Qiu Bai?"
"The one whom even Her Majesty the Tsaritsa treats as an equal?"
More and more Fatui members gathered around, and the noise grew louder.
"You go in first, Lumine."
"I'll catch up in a moment."
Qiu Bai, who had walked halfway, stopped and said to Lumine and Paimon with a frown.
"Alright."
"I will definitely destroy the devices in this Delusion Factory!"
Lumine thought of Teppei and clenched her fist, saying angrily.
Her voice was very loud, and almost everyone in the factory could hear it.
Instantly, the noisy Delusion Factory fell silent.
The Cryo Cicin Mage who was walking in front also stopped, the corner of her mouth twitching.
"Big sister."
"Everyone knows you're up to no good, but saying it out loud like this makes me very embarrassed."
The Cryo Cicin Mage complained internally with embarrassment.
What could she do but grit her teeth and continue guiding them?
According to the Tsaritsa description, these consultants and the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor had status far above the Harbingers.
And this renowned Traveler had thwarted many of the Fatui plans.
But what could she do? The Traveler was a friend of Consultant Qiu Bai.
After pausing for a moment, the Cryo Cicin Mage continued to lead the way on trembling legs.
"Huh?"
"Who just said something about adding new equipment to this factory?"
"Yes, yes, I heard it too."
"That great, this old factory needs renovation!"
After a moment of silence, the entire Delusion Factory became noisy again.
Everyone was pretending not to have seen anything, just chatting away.
Qiu Bai looked at the Fatui members around him, the corner of his mouth twitching.
He was now curious about what exactly the maiden had said to the Cryo Archon to make these Fatui members act to this extent.
"However, I just sensed some divine resentment..."
"This resentment isn't from Orobashi, but from Osial."
Qiu Bai sensed the divine resentment and murmured with a frown.
So that was it.
No wonder the Delusion Factory could still operate even after Orobashi divine resentment had been purified.
A hint of a smile flashed across Qiu Bai lips as he walked toward Lumine.
Lumine ahead had already entered the deepest part of the Delusion Factory, and the divine resentment grew increasingly thick.
It had already manifested as purple mist, spreading across the floor.
"Great one, I can only take you this far."
"I don't have a Vision, so I can't go any deeper."
The Cryo Cicin Mage looked at the dense divine resentment before her and spoke fearfully.
Lumine nodded and was about to grit her teeth and walk in.
A Dull Blade appeared in her hand as she stepped toward the inside.
"I didn't expect you to find your way here."
"Well done."
Scaramouche appeared not far from Lumine, looking down at her with some admiration.
Lumine tightly gripped the Dull Blade in her hand, several elemental powers and the power of yin and yang surging within her body!
She stared at Scaramouche in the distance.
"Interesting. We've just met, and you already look like you want to fight me to the death."
Scaramouche looked at the angry Lumine below with some mockery.
"You manufacture Delusions..."
"You distribute those Delusions to the resistance..."
Lumine looked at Scaramouche in the distance and said angrily.
"Oh~ So that what this is about."
"You seem to have misunderstood something. Although I'm standing here, I'm merely executing the plan."
Scaramouche looked at Lumine and Paimon in the distance and explained.
"The mastermind is, of course, someone else."
"Aren't you capable? Go find them, hahaha~"
Scaramouche looked at Lumine in the distance and laughed.
"You're angry over such a small matter?"
"You seem to have changed... become fragile."
Scaramouche looked at Lumine in the distance and mocked.
"You actually call this a small matter!"
Lumine gritted her teeth, looking at Scaramouche in the distance, saying angrily.
"Isn't it?"
"In this fleeting world, human lives are like grass."
"Without Delusions, they would die anyway. The Delusions at least gave them a chance to fulfill their wishes."
"Do you truly understand the value of the Vision Hunt Decree?"
"It took quite some effort to bring this about, naturally because it benefits us."
Scaramouche looked at Lumine in the distance and spoke in a calm tone.
As if human lives were worthless.
"But now it seems everything was worth it."
"Creating discord, paving the way for the promotion of Delusions, letting power consume the weak who seek it..."
Scaramouche turned his back to Lumine and Paimon, slowly speaking.
"Indeed, it was you Fatui who were behind this!"
"The war and the Vision Hunt Decree were also instigated by you!"
Lumine held the Dull Blade, looking at Scaramouche in the distance, shouting angrily.
"Inazuma appears solid from the outside, but inside it full of opportunities for us."
"With just a little effort, it can be broken from within."
Scaramouche turned around, ignoring Lumine anger, and continued speaking.
"Eternity can stretch time very long."
"However, each moment within becomes incredibly fragile."
Scaramouche raised his head, looking at the ceiling, murmuring.
