Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 474 The Mysterious Visitor

Edlon clenched his fists and shrugged, "Now that things have come to this, is there any point in Lord Rednos asking this?"

Rednos nodded. "Of course, this is a serious matter. We can't rule out the possibility that someone is behind this, deliberately stirring up internal conflict within the Academy. The surveillance footage you have might not have come from a simple source, right?"

Adlon loosened his hands and said, "This was given to me by a strange guy. He had someone tie me up from home and bring me to him, saying he wanted to help me, so he gave me this video."

Rednos frowned. "Strange guy? What's his name?"

Edlon shook his head. "He didn't say anything. I only know that he was wearing a tech suit and a pair of tech glasses. I don't know anything else."

Hearing this, Karin, who had been silent, seemed to remember something.

"Technical suit, wearing glasses...wait, isn't that It?" She said in surprise, her eyes wide open.

"So it's the Fallen Angel Troupe's doing again!" Mo Yan said sternly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion at the scene changed again.

"The Fallen Angel Troupe? Are they the ones who invaded the Abyss System yesterday and caused the mechanical riot?"

"I thought so. Birds of a feather flock together."

"Yes, I think this brat is in the same group with those guys."

"That's right, he was kidnapped. If he was really captured, how could he be released? In my opinion, he is a spy!"

……

Edlon glared at the crowd that was talking. Just as he opened his mouth to refute, Rednos glanced at the crowd and said sternly.

"Shut up. Although the Abyss is a place where the strong prey on the weak, we absolutely do not tolerate any groundless suspicion or slander." He folded his arms, instantly suppressing all discussions. "Although Edlon was used, he did not actively collude with the Fallen Angel Brigade. Anyone who dares to make rash conclusions before the truth is fully ascertained will be treated as disrupting order!"

The scene immediately fell silent, and those who had just been blaming Edlon lowered their heads and dared not speak anymore.

Rednos turned to Eidron and said in a softer tone, "Since you've been taken to their base, do you remember where the brigade base is?"

Edlon shook his head, his voice still a little hoarse: "I don't know. They blindfolded me at the time, and I couldn't see what was going on around me at all."

"I see." Rednos nodded, then lowered his hand and turned around. "Guards, hold Edlon down. Regardless of whether he's being used by the Fallen Angel Troupe or not, he must be held accountable for his words and actions."

"Yes!"

Two guards stepped forward, took out their restraints, and approached Edlon. He didn't resist, but simply gritted his teeth, his red eyes filled with resentment.

After watching Edlon being pressed away, Rednos came to Rex again.

"Well, Dr. Rex, no matter what the truth is, there will definitely be people with bad intentions who will attack you next. To be on the safe side, please stay with the guard group during this period. This is also for your safety."

Rex nodded, "I will."

After he finished speaking, Rex was about to leave with several other guards, but at this moment, Rednos suddenly called him.

"Oh, by the way, there's one thing I still want to ask." He said sideways with his hands folded.

Rex sighed angrily and turned around: "Ask me anything I know."

"Regarding the Dimensional Shadow Stone, where did you find it?" he asked as he came over. "It's a rare item. I know the Abyss better than anyone else. If there really is a treasure there, how could I not know about it?"

"Heh..." Rex turned around and said, "It was Dr. Buddy who led me to find the Dimensional Shadow Stone, but to be honest, I had no idea what this stone was used for at first. Even the name 'Dimensional Shadow Stone' was given to me by Dr. Buddy."

Rednos frowned. "So, all of this was planned by Buddy? Including using its power to repair the abyss's barrier?"

Rex nodded. "Yes, to be honest, I've always felt that Dr. Buddy is more suitable for the position of chairman of the Academy than I am. But he always attributes all the credit to me, as if it had nothing to do with him."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Rednos' face: "I see. Then, have you asked him why he came to the abyss?"

"We've asked him before, but we heard him say that he accidentally got mixed up in a group of prisoners being transported while fleeing famine, and only realized it after he came here," Rex replied.

Rednos lowered his hands and smiled slightly: "Really? Dr. Rex, thank you for your answer. Please be careful next time."

Rex nodded, then turned again and followed the guard out of the hall.

The matter came to a temporary end. At this time, Rednos stood there, not knowing what he was thinking about. The conversation just now reminded Mo Yan and others of what Kelly had said before about the mystery of Dr. Buddy.

Mo Yan and Kailin walked towards him: "Rednos, are you also doubting Buddy with those questions just now?"

Rednos slowly raised his head and smiled at the two of them. "Are you guys... Oh, I see. It's Ms. Klee's intuition again, right?"

"So you knew it a long time ago?" Kailin asked in surprise.

He shook his head. "No, to be honest, he's been working at the Academy for so long, and I've never even noticed him. It seems I really need to have a good chat about the man behind this when I have time."

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other, and suddenly there was an explosion sounded from somewhere, and at this moment another guard hurried into the hall.

"Oh no, sir! The enemy...the enemy is breaking in!" the man said hurriedly.

Rednos frowned instantly: "What's going on? How many people are there on the other side?"

"One...one person...but that guy's firepower is too strong, brothers can't withstand it!"

"Firepower? Could it be It?" Karen asked puzzledly.

I remember that Yit's fighting style was to harness elemental power and transform it into all sorts of weapons from ancient times to the present. Cloaking its power and sneaking in was also consistent with his style. If it were Hong Tao, it would probably be more than just a thunderous roar.

"Where are the invaders now?" asked Rednos.

"It seems to be going to the place where the dimensional shadow stones are stored." The guard said impatiently.

Hearing this, Rednos' eyes widened slightly, and then he showed an interested expression.

"Dimensional Shadow Stone? Isn't their goal to get the Guardian Certificate?" Karen asked doubtfully.

"Oh, this is my territory. No matter what his intentions are, I can't let him do whatever he wants." He turned and walked towards the door, then turned back to signal Mo Yan and the other four, "Let's go!"
