Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 360 The Eve of Ecstasy

"Don't worry, they will definitely see it." Mo Yan took a sip of tea and smiled.

Just then, the jailer in charge of shift change came to the door and knocked.

dong dong dong...

"Hey, it's shift change time. What are you still talking to the prisoners in there?"

The impatient urging of the jailer outside the door suddenly made the atmosphere in the cell tense. The jailer, who had been immersed in the story, suddenly woke up. He hurriedly stood up and quickly responded, "Oh, right away."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "What a pity, some moments are always short."

Mo Yan stood up and smiled slightly, "It's okay, we can continue this conversation next time we meet."

"Really? I'll be looking forward to it, but…" The jailer glanced around and sighed, "You've saved so many people, yet you're framed and imprisoned here. How pathetic! I know this may be meaningless, but I'm still here to wish you a speedy redress."

Mo Yan heard this, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes: "Thank you very much. I hope that day will come soon, so that we can talk freely outside!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you." The jailer put his hands on his hips, then walked out of the room with a smile.

After the handover was complete, footsteps could be heard fading away from the cell. Mo Yan and Kailin exchanged a glance, then fell silent in tacit agreement, their ears perked up as they listened to the noises outside.

"Um..." Kailin finally spoke, "Should we do something at a time like this?"

Mo Yan folded his arms and said, "Just start your performance."

Kailin's eyes lit up, and she immediately took over. She rushed to the prison door and shook the bars vigorously: "Let me out! You indiscriminate bastards!"

Her screams echoed in the cell, accompanied by the creaking sound of the iron door, making her look like a hysterical prisoner.

However, the new jailer at the door paid no attention. As Karen gradually pretended to be hoarse, he glanced into the cell through the door and window with disdain.

"No, this guy just ignores me!" Karen said softly with a hoarse voice.

"Just ignore it. There are so many prisoners here. If your trick works on everyone, then there's no need to open this prison." Mo Yan continued to lie on the haystack beside him, crossing his legs and saying, "If you ask me, I'd better wait and see!"

He deliberately prolonged the tone and tapped some secret code on the wall with his fingers.

Kailin understood and continued to pretend to be furious as she kicked the iron bars: "What are you waiting for! I have never suffered such injustice since I was a child!"

Bang!

……

As time passed and night fell quietly, the man squatting in the corner seemed to have given up struggling. At this moment, the jailer in charge of delivering food opened the cell and placed a rich meal in front of the two.

"Wow, Dongpo pork elbow, big plate chicken, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and mushroom stew. What a grand occasion." Karen looked at the table full of dishes and felt inexplicably excited.

The jailer delivering the food bowed to the two of them. "These were all arranged by Lady Keqing. She has said that you are her allies, not suspects. Even though you have been falsely imprisoned, you must be treated with courtesy."

Mo Yan and Kailin looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes.

That’s right, the bait is taken!

"Really? Then thank Miss Keqing for us." Mo Yan looked at the jailer and smiled.

"I will definitely pass it on." The jailer stood up and said with a smile. "Also, Master Keqing knows that you two don't like drinking, so I sent a servant to bring you some fresh juice. Please enjoy it."

Mo Yan nodded: "Just leave it there, we'll call you later."

The jailer respectfully left the cell, his footsteps gradually fading away. Kailin immediately approached Mo Yan.

"Do you think that guy will give us some shocking information?" she whispered.

Mo Yan folded his arms and said, "Don't worry, eat your food. Do you think they'd dare to attack me in prison?"

"That's true. If we die, they will also be exposed in the city." Karin nodded, but there was still some doubt on her face.

Mo Yan smiled slightly, then took out two silver needles and inserted a little into the food and drinks.

At this moment, Kailin was stunned by his actions: "Silver needle testing for poison, you know such an ancient method, no, where did you get this silver needle?"

"Of course it was given by Zixuan." Mo Yan took back the silver needle, and the tip of the needle was still as shiny as new.

He subconsciously touched the sealed bamboo tube at his waist. Inside was the poisonous insect that Zi Xuan had given him after researching it herself, just in case. It was the same poisonous insect that Yang had used before.

"There's nothing unusual. You should be relieved now." He smiled.

Seeing this, Kailin finally picked up the chopsticks with confidence and put a piece of chicken into her mouth: "Hmm~ It tastes pretty good, but that jailer just now..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Mo Yan.

Mo Yan sighed softly, and while eating, he quietly looked out the window on the iron gate. Then he turned his head and looked at the night outside the window on the other side.

Judging from the time, Zhao Heng and the others should have started to take action.

He lowered his head in thought. After having enough food and water, Kailin rubbed her slightly bulging belly and lay down on the haystack beside her with satisfaction.

"Burp, so satisfied. This is probably the first time I've had such a sumptuous meal in prison~" She burped contentedly.

At the same time, the jailer outside the door also glanced into the cell, as if using her current attitude to mock the previous level of noise.

At this time, Mo Yan was sitting in the corner still waiting.

The jailer who delivered the food just now was clearly an undercover agent planted by the brigade in the city. He could have used this opportunity to eliminate us, but he didn't. Could it be that, as Ye Lan said, they were afraid of being exposed, so they just framed us and didn't take action?

Thinking of this, he sighed again.

Yes, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Just waiting like this is not a solution. After all, no one knows how the other side will act. The longer time drags on, the more uneasy he becomes when he thinks of this.

At this moment, Kailin suddenly crouched down beside him, as if she had gone mad. When he realized what was happening, Kailin was already close to him, and with a rosy face, she whispered in his ear, "Hey, are you thinking about something troubled again?"

Kailin's warm breath brushed against Mo Yan's earlobe, and he subconsciously tensed his back and shouted, "No, why are you doing this so suddenly?"

"It's because you look like you have something on your mind, which makes people feel uncomfortable." Kailin's fingers gently stroked his chest, and the blurred look in her eyes made Mo Yan's heart skip a beat.

As she spoke, she suddenly leaned forward again: "Well, since we can't get out now, why not take this opportunity to continue what we were doing before~"

Mo Yan's back slammed against the wall, and Kailin's soft body almost pressed against his chest. When the girl's fingertips brushed across his collarbone, he couldn't help but complain, "Could this girl have been drugged?"

Just at this moment, a wisp of green smoke floated into the house from nowhere.
