Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 898 Child Ghost

Then Sue was interviewed to exhaustion by Charlotte, Teyvat's best reporter.

Sue was finally let go by Charlotte, who was still not satisfied, and watched as she thanked Charlotte and ran home to write her manuscript.

"Waaah..." Su leaned weakly on Kong's shoulder, "Charlotte...it's so scary...the questions are coming out like a torrential downpour."

Unbeknownst to them, their adventures as travelers had stumbled upon far too many unspeakable secrets.

She had to keep up with Charlotte's conversation while also being careful not to let anything slip. It was so hard for her.

Paimon looked at the girl with sympathy but helplessness. "Charlotte finally got a chance, of course she wants to ask as many questions as she wants. Go ahead and have a glass of juice to quench your thirst."

Su finished a whole glass of refreshing juice in one gulp, and when she looked up, she found that they had arrived at the entrance of the Bufati Mansion.

The Fools' Hearth House stronghold was locked and looked completely untidied.

"Strange, aren't Linnie and Lynette home?" Sue tapped the doorbell twice and found that it was broken from being soaked in water.

Sora knew the situation. "After they 'recovered,' they busied themselves with the rescue operation. It seems the entire Hearth House has been moved to... Whitesong Town."

Paimon glanced at Sue's expression. "White Song Town... Are we going there to visit Lynette and the others?"

Baisong Town, that's Navia's territory.

As for Su, she and Navia had a falling out.

Sue's expression shifted for a moment, "Go! Why wouldn't I go!" Even if they really ran into each other, it would be Navia who felt uncomfortable!

The traveler's team arrived at Baisong Town, the town in Fontainebleau that was the first and hardest hit by the disaster. There were fewer original residents and more outsiders.

A large group of people were busy coming and going, clearing silt, repairing buildings and facilities, and some were directing and coordinating the distribution of supplies.

Looking around and not finding Navia, Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

——*——*——

In the office high up, Miles brought Navia, who had hidden herself away after receiving the news, hot tea. "Miss, it's windy up here, you should close the windows."

The younger Silver looked at Navia encouragingly, "Go do what you want to do. Being straightforward has always been a virtue of the young lady, hasn't it?"

Navia smiled bitterly and closed the window. Gratitude and remorse towards Su were churning within her, but she lacked the courage to see him now.

Most importantly, Sue doesn't want to see her right now.

Leaving the office to Navia, who wanted some peace and quiet, Myles brought Silver out.

Myles patted Silver on the shoulder. "I know you'd love to thank Miss Su in person, but now's not the right time. Our presence might just make things worse for the situation and for Miss Su."

Silver nodded regretfully.

——*——*——

Linni jumped down from the height, "I never expected to meet you all here, this is the happiest thing for me today!"

"Hey Linnie!" Su Yang waved to Linnie, who seemed to be in good spirits, then looked behind him. "Where are Linette and Fimini?"

Linni led the traveler's group toward the Hearth House's camp in Whitesong Town. "The two of them have other missions and are not here for the time being."

Paimon: "They've gone on a mission? Is it something troublesome?"

“If you are curious, I can answer your questions.” A deep, elegant voice sounded from behind the traveler’s group.

Su and Kong turned around quickly, weapons appearing in their hands.

"Whoa!" Paimon, startled by the sudden appearance of the [servant], instantly darted behind his friends.

"Father……!"

The servant took two steps away from Linni's nervous gaze, indicating that he had no intention of making an enemy. "Don't be nervous, it's just a little joke."

Sue stared at the servant's sharp, cone-like heels, very curious about how she managed to move silently on the metal floor while wearing such shoes.

“I can sense your genuine concern from your words. Therefore, I am willing to answer your questions.”

[Servant] To be honest, she moved the Hearth House to Whitesong and sent the children to help rebuild it, partly to convey the Fools' friendship and sincerity towards Fontaine.

On the other hand, he also wanted to investigate a rumor circulating inside the House of Hearths.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Paimon peeked out from behind Sue and asked, "What rumor?"

[Servant]: "It is said that in the house of the fireplace, there is an extra child who does not exist."

“A ghost that should no longer exist wanders in the shadows of the fireplace house.”

Paimon felt a chill run down his spine. "A child that doesn't exist? That sounds a bit scary..."

Kong pondered, "It feels like a ghost story or some kind of strange tale."

Su said with great experience, "In general, the most vicious ghosts in horror stories are child ghosts!"

The last ferocious "child ghost" we encountered was the Naga King of the Dragon Kings. What kind of magical creature will it be this time? Looking forward to it!

The servant said casually, "It's just a small matter. I estimate we'll find it soon, and we can just 'dispose of' it casually. It won't cause any trouble."

Su curled her lips, "Yeah, ghosts are nowhere near as scary as you Fools' Enforcers."

The servant, unperturbed, invited Su Ban, "If you are curious or have any concerns, you are welcome to participate in the affairs of our Hearth House."

Sora: "Aren't you worried that we might take this opportunity to investigate the secrets of the Fatui?"

The servant smiled leisurely, “Looking back, you have clashed with the Fools several times. Looking to the future, it is difficult to guarantee that our relationship will remain harmonious.”

"But at least for now, we have no reason to be in conflict, do we? The House of Hearths is willing to show you more sincerity."

Su and Kong exchanged a glance. Although the servant spoke in a very formal and polite manner, her attitude was still a way of actively expressing goodwill towards their traveler's team.

The servant seemed to have other matters to attend to, and after instructing Linni to take good care of the guests, he left on his own.

Paimon and Linnie both breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies gradually relaxing.

Paimon: "Although I knew she was trying to be friendly, her imposing presence was still too much..."

Linni gave a wry smile. He had been very nervous, afraid that Sue and his father would clash.

Nothing happened, that's great.

Linni, who was good at self-regulation, quickly composed herself. "Let's go, let's get to our accommodation first. Sue, is there anything you'd like to drink?"

They hadn't gone far when a group of children from the Fireplace House rushed over.

"Linnie! I heard Father just returned?"

"Your intelligence is outdated; Father has already left."

Wow! It's them! It's the Travelers' Team!

"Get out of the way, Shaplo, don't block my way! I didn't get a good look last time..."

For a moment, the traveler's team felt like they were in a market, and Sue even felt like she was surrounded by five hundred ducks.

Linnie smiled a little awkwardly, "Actually, a large portion of the children at the Hearth House are your fans..."

“Alright, Foltz, Eloire…” Linni called out to them one by one, “These are guests that my father entrusted me to entertain properly, so please be polite.”

The previously noisy children quieted down, quickly formed a line, and politely introduced themselves and welcomed the travelers one by one.
