Behind?
Lumine, who hadn't heard the sound Kaito ntioned, followed behind him with a confused look.
"Hah!"
Just a few steps later, Lumine finally heard the sound coming from ahead.
It was clearly the voice of a young man, and he seed to be in the middle of doing sothing.
Is it a fight?
Hearing the chaotic noises ahead, Lumine couldn't help but think this.
At this mont, Kaito had already quickened his pace, rushing forward.
This seems to be Xiao's voice...
Is he eliminating those remnants of the gods here?
Although Kaito hadn't pulled Xiao for his collection before crossing over, he still recognized his voice.
And after recalling the concept of the gods' remnants, he found that he seed to faintly see sothing like black and red mist in the air—just like the situation Acheron and Miko had seen on that island before.
However, at that ti, the scene Acheron saw was obviously much more concrete than what he was seeing now.
It seems that completing the mission this ti gave so of Acheron's abilities...
Thinking this, Kaito continued to speed up. Then, behind a small hill, he saw that familiar figure.
That's right, it was Xiao. At this mont, lying in disorder around him were so Hilichurls that seed to be emitting black gas.
"Who?"
After Kaito and Lumine arrived, Xiao imdiately turned around, staring at them vigilantly.
"We are not enemies."
Seeing Xiao like this, Kaito imdiately indicated they were not enemies.
Obviously, Xiao's condition was not very good right now; he seed very exhausted.
"It's so late, do not co to this place. Go back."
After carefully scrutinizing Kaito and Lumine, Xiao turned and left after leaving this sentence, quickly disappearing from sight.
"He... left?"
Looking around, Lumine said this with so hesitation.
Actually, she was very curious about that young man's identity.
Obviously, that young man was no ordinary person.
Hmm?
Why do those Hilichurls feel a bit different?
At this mont, Lumine noticed that the Hilichurls lying on the ground seed a bit different from the ones she had seen before.
But as for where they were different, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Don't go over there, Lumine."
Just as Lumine wanted to get a closer look at the situation, Kaito stopped her.
"What's wrong? Kaito."
Stopping and turning back to look at Kaito, who was slowly passing her, Lumine was obviously a bit confused.
After all, no matter what, those were just Hilichurls, and dead ones at that. It should be fine no matter how you look at it.
One had to know, the Hilichurls she usually dealt with could be described as piling up like a mountain.
"They are different."
Pausing for a mont, Kaito continued, "But actually, there's no difference. Of course, that's for . For you, it's better not to touch them."
After speaking, Kaito waved his hand slightly towards the fallen Hilichurls, and then a gust of wind blew past their corpses.
"Disappeared?"
Watching the Hilichurls before her eyes slowly disappear as if disintegrating, Lumine couldn't help but voice her surprise.
She didn't understand what exactly had happened.
"What's going on? Kaito, why did they do that?"
Continuing to gaze at the Hilichurl corpses that had now mostly disappeared, Lumine asked Kaito this question.
And just as Lumine was feeling surprised, Xiao, hiding to the side, also showed a rare look of astonishnt on his face watching all this.
He didn't expect that this young man would actually possess such an ability. This was simply beyond his imagination.
"It should be called purification, I guess. Just purified them," Kaito said sowhat uncertainly after thinking for a mont.
Actually, he wanted to use another way of saying it: that he killed them.
But after thinking about it, he felt using the word 'purify' was better.
Just as he thought, he now possessed part of Acheron's abilities.
"Purification?"
Stunned for a mont, Lumine obviously didn't expect Kaito to also have an ability like purification. Then she continued, "Feels like you really have a lot of abilities, Kaito."
"It's alright."
Smiling, Kaito looked towards Liyue Harbor and said, "I wonder if we can still catch up to have a al with Mr. Zhongli? I feel like he's already eating."
"Mr. Zhongli? Is that the Geo Archon?"
Recalling previous events, Lumine said this sowhat uncertainly.
Mr. Zhongli?
When did Rex Lapis have this na?
And they know Rex Lapis?
At this mont, Xiao, who was still hiding to the side, was stunned.
He didn't expect Rex Lapis to actually have this na, and that these two people actually knew Rex Lapis. Either of these facts was enough to surprise him.
"Yes, He's retired now. I don't know if He has ti to have a al with us." Kaito nodded.
However, at this mont, he wasn't in a hurry to take Lumine directly to Liyue Harbor, because he wanted to see if Xiao would show himself again.
Of course, he just wanted to see. If the other party didn't want to co out, he would pretend not to know Xiao was still watching them from the side.
"You know Rex Lapis?"
Just then, Xiao revealed his figure from the side.
Originally, he just wanted to see what these two people were going to do, but as a result, he learned of such a matter, so he could only co out.
"We know him."
Kaito nodded again.
Originally, he thought Xiao knew about him, but it turned out he didn't.
But it didn't matter. He didn't know before, but now he does.
"Then you and..."
"If you have things to do, go do them. I know where Mr. Zhongli is."
Seeing Xiao was about to say sothing else, Kaito spoke up.
He knew Xiao was always very busy, so it was better to let him and Lumine go find Zhongli themselves.
Anyway, once he arrived at Liyue Harbor, he would know where Zhongli was; he didn't need anyone to lead the way.
"Alright."
Continuing to look at Kaito and Lumine, Xiao—wondering what he was thinking—disappeared from their sight again after leaving this sentence.
"He... left again? Why does he always appear suddenly and leave suddenly?"
Looking around again and confirming the other party was really gone, Lumine said with so confusion.
For so reason, this person gave her a very strange feeling.
"He's just like that." Regarding Lumine's complaint, Kaito smiled.
"So, Kaito, do you know him?"
Seeing that Kaito seed to understand that person very well, Lumine asked this question.
But obviously, that person didn't know Kaito.
"Sort of, but he doesn't know ." Thinking for a mont, Kaito replied.
It could only be said that he knew the other party unilaterally.
After that, Kaito continued, "Let's go, let's go find Mr. Zhongli for a sit-down."
