Chapter 64: Exploding the Salt in the Ground
While Wang Hao was thinking,
There were slight footsteps coming from the mine in front of me.
Wang Hao was slightly stunned, then looked at the sky and found that it was already dark.
Sure enough, he had forgotten the time while thinking.
Ignoring the corpse of the Hilliard at his feet, Wang Hao hurried into the mine.
At this time, a figure was approaching the exit of the mine.
"Is it Wang Hao?" The figure's voice sounded familiar, and he directly called out Wang Hao's name.
Wang Hao looked over there and a familiar face appeared in his eyes.
"Shi Jie!?"
Wang Hao was a little surprised.
The so-called General Affairs Department spy turned out to be his former classmate, Shi Jie.
Wang Hao had a deep impression of this classmate.
At the dinner party at the back door of Wanmin Hall, when Keqing said she wanted to make a second donation, it was this classmate who stood up and brought the topic to Ningguang, which led to other students donating generously.
Suddenly, Wang Hao reacted: "You were Sister Ningguang's man from the beginning?"
This would explain why Shi Jie wanted to help Wang Hao guide his classmates.
Shi Jie showed a hearty smile: "Haha, you didn't expect it."
This is recognition.
"I came from an ordinary family. Later, Master Tianquan saw that I was a little smart, so he sent me to Tongwen Academy. My task at that time was to help Master win over those students."
Shi Jie explained to Wang Hao,
"When you and Keqing talked about donating that day, I realized that this was a rare opportunity, so I spoke up to guide them. In the end, the effect was good. Most of the families of those classmates have now supported Master Tianquan, so Master Tianquan was very satisfied with me. After graduation, I joined the General Affairs Department and continued to serve Master Tianquan."
"Then why did you get here?" Wang Hao asked worriedly.
Since the other person is his classmate, there should be no age difference between them.
Wang Hao is sixteen years old, and Shi Jie is also sixteen years old.
At the age of sixteen, infiltrating a criminal organization was a bit too exciting.
"The Yinyuan Society is a complex organization, and many of its spies may have leaked their secrets. It just so happens that I have never shown my face before, so I just came here directly." Shi Jie spoke in a calm tone, and he didn't seem to be worried about his own safety.
Seeing Wang Hao's slightly worried expression, Shi Jie laughed heartily: "Haha, don't worry, since I can come here, I must have obtained the permission of the Seven Stars. They can't let me die here. I have already completed the spy training of the General Affairs Department. Don't underestimate me."
After a pause, Shi Jie continued, "Also, although many spies can't come, it doesn't mean that I'm the only one here. There are others too, but I just haven't had any contact with them yet."
Shi Jie's words made Wang Hao recall his conversation with Keqing.
At that time, the two of them said that no one among their classmates would have a great future.
As a result, Shi Jie slapped him in the face. This classmate was not only outstanding, but also extremely courageous.
"Okay, then, have you found out any information?" Wang Hao put aside his worries and got down to business.
Shi Jie also put away his smile and looked serious: "Although I just joined, Lord Tianquan helped me forge the identity of a Salt Survivor, so I entered half of the core circle."
"The people of the Silver Plains received news that there is news about the demon Heulia beneath the salt of the ground. They have been investigating for several months but have not found anything. Now they want to directly blast the salt of the ground."
Exploding the salt of the earth?
A hint of absurdity also appeared in Wang Hao's eyes.
The Salt of the Earth is located above Mingyun Town and on the edge of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, which is close to Mondstadt's territory.
The land here is very salty and cannot be used for farming, so basically no one lives here.
In the beginning, there were still people mining salt here, but after the salt drying method was popularized in Liyue, no one was interested in it anymore.
But it is still a large area, and it may not be easy for the people from Yinyuan Society to blow it up.
Shi Jie noticed the absurdity in Wang Hao's eyes and smiled bitterly: "It's ridiculous, right? But that's what they did. They occupied Mingyun Town and refined explosives."
Mingyun Town used to be a mining town, where blasting and mining were often necessary, so naturally there were places where explosives were refined.
[Good fellow, blast the salt in the ground.] [Go to Mondstadt and ask Master Klee to come to you.]
[This is to make Heulia never rest in peace even after her death. 】
[These salt survivors are a bit disgusting. 】
【…】
The comments were also full of curses.
These curses also made Wang Hao understand that the salt in the earth might really be related to the demon Heulia.
Exploding the salt of the earth would cause Heulia to die in unrest.
In other words, the dead Heulia is beneath the salt of the earth!
"How prepared are they?" Wang Hao asked hurriedly.
Shi Jie thought for a moment and said, "A third warehouse was recently built, and I guess there are already two warehouses of explosives."
The explosives that can split mountains and rocks have filled up two warehouses. Wang Hao was a little surprised by the efficiency of the Yinyuan Society.
It would be great if we could use this efficiency to do good things.
"Hiss, going back and forth from here to Liyue to report the news..." Wang Hao calculated the time and felt that it might not be enough.
After thinking for a while, Wang Hao said, "Number three."
A shadow emerged from Shi Jie's shadow.
Shi Jie was startled, but said nothing.
"Go to the Qianyan Army camp in Guiliyuan, tell General Panlie what happened, and ask for his support."
Wang Hao instructed No. 3, then looked at Shi Jie.
"Before General Panlie and his men arrive, the two of us must do our best to disrupt or delay their actions."
Shi Jie nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
And number three still didn't say anything, just turned into a shadow and disappeared.
After No. 3 left, Wang Hao and Shi Jie continued to discuss: "Do you have any way to let me sneak into the camp?"
Shi Jie thought for a moment and said, "I am in charge of logistics and transportation now, and I only have a chance to come out every night. You can go in with me. Once you are in, just say that you are a member of the treasure-stealing group."
The treasure-stealing group is a mixed bunch with poor discipline, making them the perfect disguise.
"Is there something about a treasure-stealing group involved here?" Wang Hao was a little surprised.
"Well, the Silver Origin Society actually doesn't have many core members, and their plan requires a lot of helpers, so they recruited a lot of people from the Treasure Stealing Group to help."
As he spoke, Shi Jie smiled.
"If it weren't for these treasure-stealing groups, my job wouldn't have been so easy given the cautiousness of the core members of the Silver Origin Society."
The Salt Survivors were able to infiltrate the Silver Plains Office within the Liyue system, so their own organizational structure must be stable and cautious enough.
If they were short of manpower, they would definitely not have used such low-rate guys as the Treasure Stealing Group.
But because they don't have enough manpower, they can only use this kind of low-level guy,
This also gave Shi Jie the opportunity to infiltrate.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Hao nodded and said, "By the way, is there anyone with the Eye of God in the camp?"
"There are people who possess the Eye of God among the survivors of Salt, but how could such a person be mixed up with the Yinyuan Society? There are many good players in the camp, but there is no one who possesses the Eye of God." Shi Jie replied.
The holder of the Eye of God usually has unique qualities in some aspect.
They may not be nice people, but they rarely do shitty things unless there is a reason to do so.
Therefore, the holders of the Eye of God among the Salt Survivors did not participate in this plan.
The holders of the Eye of God simply look down upon the despicable methods and causes of the radicals in the Ginhara Society.
Next, Shi Jie talked about some things that needed attention in the camp, and then the two of them quietly left from the other side of the mine.
