Chapter 107: The one who kidnapped Zhongli is still an old acquaintance
After seeing the content of the letter, Gu Chen's expression changed.
Paimeng had never seen Gu Chen show such an expression before. She looked over with confusion:
"Why do you look like that?
Let me see, what's written in the letter?
Um... Respectfully inform Mr. Gu Chen, your friend..."
After reading it, Paimon was shocked:
“Huh!? Zhongli… was kidnapped!?”
Holding the letter, Gu Chen's expression still did not ease much:
"Well, literally speaking, that's exactly what's happening."
At this moment, Paimeng's expression could no longer be suppressed. She covered her head, not knowing what to say:
"Kidnapped...Zhongli? Threatened...you?
What on earth was the person who wrote this letter thinking?
Was he just daydreaming, or had he really kidnapped Zhongli?
Doesn’t he know…
Oh, he certainly doesn’t know that Zhongli is the Geo King!
I really want to see how this guy kidnapped Zhongli."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said:
“This is truly ridiculous.
I have never encountered such an outrageous thing in my life.
But Paimon, you're right. I also want to go and see what's going on.
Before going there, I need to check Zhongli's situation first to make sure this letter is not a prank."
After saying this, Gu Chen turned on Ultra Vision and began to look around the entire Liyue Harbor, trying to find Zhongli's figure in Liyue Harbor.
After searching for a while, I found nothing.
After finishing, he turned off Ultra Vision and looked at Paimon with a helpless expression:
"Yes, confirmed. Zhongli is not in Liyue Harbor."
Paimeng, holding his hands behind his back, hovered in front of Gu Chen:
"So, Zhongli was really kidnapped?"
Throwing the letter, Gu Chen shook his head:
"Who knows.
Or maybe Zhongli was really kidnapped.
Or maybe Zhongli just happened not to be in Liyue Harbor today, and this letter was still a prank.
Anyway, this letter has piqued our interest, so why don't we go and join in the fun?"
After nodding, Paimon also showed an interested smile on his face.
Can you two be serious for a minute? Zhongli's been kidnapped! And you're still laughing!
Uh...it's not a question of whether you can laugh or not, it's a question of whether you can hold it back.
In short, after hiding the letter close to their bodies and changing their clothes, Gu Chen and Paimeng left the mansion together and headed southwest of Tianheng Mountain.
Tianheng Mountain is also very large, and it takes some effort to find the specific location.
Fortunately, there was a simple map attached to the letter, which accurately marked the location.
Gu Chen and Paimeng didn't waste too much time.
Avoiding being seen, they soared into the sky, flew from Liyue Harbor over Tianheng Mountain, and approached the location indicated on the map.
It was a relatively flat hillside of considerable size.
There was nothing on the hillside except three things.
The first thing was a wooden cage.
It is the kind often used by treasure-hunting groups in the wilderness. The space inside is small and can only hold one person, and this person can only stand inside and cannot even lie down.
By the way, this wooden cage is crudely made, but it seems to be quite sturdy.
The second thing was a pile of explosive barrels.
These barrels of explosives were stacked around the cage, and were connected by strange wires and machines. The connection points converged on the central cage, which seemed to be a bad thing.
The third thing...
Uh, can't really call it a thing.
The third thing is Zhongli himself.
Zhongli, this guy, just stood in the cage, looking calm and composed.
When Gu Chen and Paimeng descended from the sky and slowly landed on the hillside, they saw this scene.
Zhongli in the cage looked at Gu Chen opposite him innocently.
Gu Chen on the opposite side looked at Zhongli in the cage speechlessly.
For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, with only tears in their eyes...
Bah, there are no tears, only Gu Chen’s almost uncontrollable smile.
Just when Gu Chen's face was serious and he was about to lose his composure, Paimeng next to him chuckled, causing Gu Chen to completely lose his composure!
He stopped pretending and stood there, clapping his thigh and laughing:
“Hahahahaha!
Zhongli, ah Zhongli! Lao Deng, ah Lao Deng!
I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you end up like this?
Oh heaven, oh earth, oh justice, oh abyss, which angel sister has caused me to take out this evil breath!"
As Gu Chen said this, a woman walked out of the Fatui tent next to him.
This woman had a slender figure and a cold voice. She said:
“It’s not the Angel Sister, it’s the Executor!
Also, who are you calling "big sister"?
Gu Chen and Paimeng turned their heads to look.
The eighth Fatui executive officer, ma'am.
I still remember the last time a lady appeared was in Mond.
At that time, she was aggressive, cold and ruthless. Although she looked like a bad person, she was indeed beautiful.
But why did the lady appear as a comedian this time?
After seeing the lady, Gu Chen and Paimeng were silent for a second or two, then they couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter again, clapping their thighs!
The laughter was so loud that the lady's head kept popping up with the character "井" (well) on it.
Really, the lady didn’t quite understand what these two psychos were laughing at?
But their laughter just made her feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart!
After waiting for Gu Chen and Paimeng for about a minute, their smiles had not faded at all!
The lady was very unhappy, with a dangerous look on her face:
"Have you... laughed enough?"
Gu Chen straightened up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stretched out her hand to apologize to the lady:
"Sorry, sorry, we are professionals and usually don't laugh..."
Paimeng next to him said in a very cooperative manner:
"Unless you can't help it."
This kind of tacit understanding made the two of them unable to hold back and burst into laughter again!
Gu Chen and Paimeng had talked about this joke during a previous conversation.
Unexpectedly, they cooperated with each other today, which caused them both to laugh again.
The lady is really angry!
I don’t know why, but compared with these two people, she looks like a clown!
Her pretty face was filled with anger, and she was furious. Maintaining this state, the lady took out a simple remote control and shouted:
"enough!
I don't know what's wrong with you two!
But since you have received the letter I sent and have come here, just listen to me and stop laughing!
Otherwise, this guest gentleman from the Hall of Rebirth would have been blown to pieces!"
Once again using great willpower to stop laughing, Gu Chen managed to stand up and looked at Zhongli in the cage:
"Zhongli, he said he would blow you to pieces. What do you think?"
Zhongli pursed his chin in the cage, as if thinking:
"Well...from a common sense perspective...I shouldn't be able to be killed by the explosion."
Gu Chen and Paimeng burst into laughter for the nth time! They couldn't help themselves for the nth time!
