Sasuke gave a rough description of what happened to Liyue and what it turned out to be.

Sasuke felt that Ningguang might have known that there was a Ninth Company under the Chasm, but what the Fatui had done before had already torn their faces first, so it was a natural choice to let this squad fend for itself.

As for the Fatui side, perhaps in the eyes of the lady, concealing the news and completing the contract with Zhongli to obtain the Heart of God is obviously more important than such a Fatui squad, and Childe ......

After he released the demon god Osier, he immediately sent a large number of Fatui to use the portal to attack the Jade Pavilion that resisted Othello, and the Fatui who were lost in that battle were already much more than the ninth company here, obviously he would not care about the life and death of such a small team.

The Fatui have lost Liyue's trust completely, and all subsequent orders and supplies will no longer be available.

Judging by the reaction of this company and what they said, and the current situation, they are not lying.

That's why Sasuke is willing to say so much.

Although he still has no good feelings for the Fatui, this team of Fatui who have always been dedicated to their duties still won his approval.

The news Sasuke brought silenced Anton.

It has been an unknown amount of time since the Rock Abyss, and all the officers above the rank of lieutenant have all died or disappeared, and the few remaining of them are not in good spirits.

Before, they had traded physical fresh water with the Treasure Hoarders who were still lurking here, waiting for the next order.

But now the Treasure Hoarders are appearing less and less frequently, and they can't hold on anymore......

The news brought by this Inazuma man confirmed his suspicions, and the world on the ground had changed dramatically.

Now that there are no allies, the Fatui have broken ties with Liyue.

This was not Liyue's betrayal, but rather the Fatui who backstabbed their allies first, judging by the Inazuma man's description.

Before the expedition, the Captain had said that this expedition was to defend the people of Liyue, and that this expedition had nothing to do with any small calculations or intrigues.

But it still can't stop the petty calculations and intrigues that finally befall them......

"Whew...... I understand. ”

"We need to get out of here, as soon as possible."

He looked at the other two Fatui members who were still awake.

"When Timur wakes up and gives him something to eat, we'll evacuate."

Seeing that the other two comrades-in-arms seemed to want to say something, Anton waved his hand.

"It's okay, I'll take all the responsibility."

"If there are deserters among us...... If there is a deserter who disgraces the 9th Company, that deserter is me, and only me. ”

"We've fought hard, but we've failed, it's as simple as that."

After explaining to his comrades, Anton looked at Sasuke again.

"This friend, although I don't know what you call it, but it doesn't matter now, thank you for the news."

"Originally, the Chasm had just been sealed by the Seven Stars, and our boss approached the Seven Stars of Liyue, and we started talking about it, and the Lady also negotiated several trade agreements in favor of both sides, and we came here to investigate and eliminate the source of the mutation, which will be recorded in the logbook."

Then he pulled out a notebook from his chest.

"If you're here to investigate the Dark Scourge, then this is our company's investigation log, which should be helpful."

"You know, I was careless, so I accidentally lost the log during the retreat, and you happened to pick it up."

"All the information we've gathered from our investigation was meant to be shared fairly between Solstice and Liyue."

"When we first set off, we were still greeted by the cheers of the people of Liyue, and now we ...... Scold. ”

After saying these words, Anton found a haystack and sat down.

Following the orders of the Winter Queen, they risk their lives to enter the sealed Chasm to discover the secrets of the Abyss.

They were supposed to be heroes, but now they have become outcasts abandoned by both sides.

The other Fatui soldiers bowed their heads silently, signaling that they had not seen anything.

Sasuke, who had taken the log, nodded, and out of politeness, he didn't check it out of the first place, but put it in the folding tape and left the place with Paimon first.

After leaving the distance for some distance, Sasuke opened the log that Anton had given him and began to check the information recorded on it.

At the very beginning of the log, the Fatui exploration team only completed the reconnaissance mission near the main mine.

They concluded that the blue-glowing hedrons were older than the Chasm.

Even, the formation of the Strata Chasm is related to these hedron fragments, and it seems to be related to an ancient civilization.

Seeing this, Sasuke observed the blue spar that he had been holding in his hand.

Could the formation of the Chasm have anything to do with this?

Before, he had always thought that the Chasm was formed by the fight between Zhongli and Ruotuo, but as the exploration deepened, he still felt strange why the place formed by the fight between Ruotuo and Zhongli was used by the abyss, which made them feel abnormal.

Scrolling further down the journal, it is mentioned that the Fatui had brought a sonic trapping device, but it was completely extinguished by the hedron radiation and the strange black mud, and there were no spare parts to repair it.

By the time we arrived, the supply to the ground had been cut off, and Zo Boost was around the time when the Fatui were banished from Liyue by Ningguang.

And the Fatui found out that someone was still following them.

Is there anyone else here?

Sasuke frowned and continued to scroll down.

The following journal mentions that the Fatui have found an ancient city in the depths of the earth that is incompatible with the ground, and mentions that the mutation here is accelerating, there is a very large hedron here, and the black matter on the hedron seems to be the source of the anomaly, and they need to transport something called the [Mokosh Device] to this location as soon as possible.

In addition, Anton mentions that he discovered that he had been following them by a woman who was familiar with the terrain beneath the Chasm and was able to avoid the traps they had placed.

Later in the logbook, it is recorded that Anton and his company tried to remove the contamination from the hedrons, but their device was unsuccessful and exploded in an overload.

By summing up the experience, their company found a more suitable method - by vigorously striking the hedrons.

But it still failed.

Finally, Anton mentions that the reconnaissance team has found figures in different locations, and it is unknown whether they are humans or creatures, and guesses that they are the real culprits who caused the black mud to spread.

After a cursory flip through it, Sasuke was sure that this Anton really wasn't lying to them, and at the same time determined the goal of the trip.

The ancient city mentioned in this journal, and the huge hedron.

At the same time, Sasuke also determined that this group of Fatui really came here not because of some conspiracy, but to investigate and solve the great change.

Paimon, who had followed Sasuke after reading this, rubbed his head and spoke:

"Eh, Sasuke, what should I do? I seem to feel that the Fatui are not so hateful, and even the group of people just now, I still think they are quite pitiful. ”

"They really use their lives to get things done......"

Hearing the emotion in Paimon's words, Sasuke shook his head.

"That's not what I said, Paimon."

"Huh?"

"Let's look at it differently, Paimon, do you think they're here for justice?"

Paimon thought for a moment and said:

"I guess so."

"Then they're abandoned below, so you feel pitiful?"

Sasuke continued to ask.

Paimon nodded.

"Hmm."

"So you think the Fatui aren't that hateful?"

"Hmm...... Well. ”

Paimon dragged out a little bit, a little hesitant.

"But I think it's the opposite."

Sasuke said.

"I even think the Fatui are even more hateful."

"They were mobilized by their leader in the name of the Righteous Army, but they were ruthlessly abandoned in this dark mine."

"Remember? When Zhongli and we were trading the Heart of God at the Northland Bank, the two Fatui executives, Childe and Lady, were still arguing with each other, and they were stumbling on each other, and the information was not shared, which led to the current fate of this team. ”

"Every executive who instigates the conspiracy is deceiving their soldiers...... Scold. ”

Sasuke inexplicably thought of the root organization, as well as Shimura Danzo.

While he was compiling the materials of the Root Organization, there were no less such incidents.

Self-interested infighting is the main cause of the ineffective sacrifice of the lowest soldiers, and in this regard, these Fatui executives are just as stupid as the regimental treasure.
