I'm a male god in Liyue

The white cat carefully flipped open the notebook with its paws and saw that the owner of the notebook had beautiful handwriting, but the contents of the notebook were all kinds of boring excerpts.

【Fresh baby rushes can be used as lighting in the bathroom! Sir, take a look…!】

These seemingly free-flowing and beautiful handwritings appear to be various hawking slogans and shop signs.

Closing the notebook, Xia Zhi felt that the nun's heart wasn't as cold as her appearance suggested, which made him find her even more interesting.

Liu Yun Zhenjun woke up from his dream and stared blankly at the ceiling.

She reached out and touched her lips, her face turning slightly red.

The feeling she had experienced before was a unique experience she had never had in thousands of years.

It's...quite comfortable.

No wonder I used to wake up halfway through my dreams. This strange, electric-like feeling is something you can't imagine unless you experience it for yourself.

Liu Yun Zhenjun sat up, took off the sachet from his neck, opened it, and found it was indeed empty.

The hair she just put in last night has been used up.

But it doesn't matter, she still has a lot of Xia Zhi's hair here, enough for her to use for a long time.

Liu Yun Zhenjun stroked the sachet in his hand.

This kind of thing should be considered a date, right?

She couldn't help but recall what Shen He had said; she had also dreamt of dating Mr. Xia and developing feelings for him.

Unexpectedly, she, as the master, has now followed in her disciple's footsteps.

Qin arrived at the office early, brewed herself a cup of "Silver Silk Dew," and began her workday.

Not long after, Kaeya knocked on the door and told her about the recent patrol: "...Because of the surge in the city's population and the shortage of knights, various security incidents have been occurring one after another, especially at night. Many outsiders get drunk in the taverns and either act recklessly or harbor malicious intentions... Just last night, several Mondstadt citizens and travelers reported to the Knights that they had been robbed...but..."

After listening, Qin frowned slightly and asked, "But what?"

Kaia said, "Although these people encountered these terrible events, the outcome was good."

Qin asked in surprise, "A good result?"

Kaeya smiled slightly and said, "At the crucial moment, a [Night Hero] descended from the sky, using his powerful abilities to subdue the criminal cleanly and efficiently, and then calmly left, leaving only a mysterious silhouette..."

"Hero of the Night..."

After listening, Qin rummaged through the pile of documents on the table for a while and took out several documents, all of which were reports related to the so-called "Dark Night Heroes".

Have you found out his real identity?

Kaiya shook her head: "Not yet, but... after investigating for so long, I have pretty much the answer in my mind."

Qin asked, "Who do you think it could be?"

Kaeya lowered her voice and said, "Lord Diluc of Dawn Winery."

Jean exclaimed in surprise: "!? You mean Diluc-senpai?"

Kaiya waved his hand: "I just suspect him."

Qin's expression turned slightly serious: "Reason?"

Kaiya slowly said, "Based on the testimonies provided by those at the crime scene, we can obtain the physical data of that [Night Hero]—such as height and weight—which basically confirms that the other party is an adult male. The other party's attacks are always accompanied by a bright flash of fire, and the movements are clean and neat, which confirms that the other party is a powerful fire elemental god eye possessor."

Jean shook her head and said, "Although Diluc fits both of these criteria very well, this evidence alone is not enough, since there are quite a few outsiders who fit these criteria as well."

Kaeya chuckled, "Does Commander Qin really think that outsiders can perfectly evade the Knights of Favonius' patrols every time they operate?"

Jean seemed to be thinking: "This... it would indeed be very difficult for a stranger who has never been to Mondstadt before to do this."

Kaeya said seriously, "But Diluc is different. He used to work for the Knights of Favonius for a period of time and knows their patrol routes like the back of his hand. Only someone like that could easily escape the Knights of Favonius's pursuit after the crime. Moreover, I went to the [Angel's Lament] late last night to look for Diluc, and the bartender said that Diluc was already taking a shower. Based on my understanding of him, he rarely takes a shower late at night. He only takes a shower when his clothes are dirty for some special reason."

Qin was silent for a while: "What you said makes sense, but these are just speculations. Although [Dark Night Hero] is a bit unconventional, he is ultimately helping me solve the problems that we should have solved but didn't have time to solve. He can reduce our pressure, so we don't need to worry about him for now."

Kaiya nodded: "I understand."

Qin looked at him and said, "You probably didn't sleep much last night, right? Don't go following Mr. Xia and the others today. Go back and get some rest. I'll have Amber take your place."

"it is good."

Kaiya agreed and turned to leave.

Jean picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of [Silver Dew], and, using her active mind, mentally deduced the information that Kaeya had just provided, and found that Diluc was indeed highly suspicious.

"Even though Diluc has left the Knights of Favonius, he's still protecting Mondstadt in another way..."

Chapter 488 Regaining the Light (4K)

After reading the notes and circling the room twice, Xia Zhi disconnected from the "view sharing" with the white cat and stopped the little girl who was about to get close to his face.

"Good morning, Dad!"

"morning."

"We're going treasure hunting at the library today, right?"

"correct."

"Great!"

The little girl seemed very happy.

Dragons are probably naturally interested in treasures.

Xia Zhi looked at her and smiled, then suddenly remembered the [Abyss Poison Dragon's Blessing] he had received from her last night.

Since she, like the white cat, has been identified by the system as a potential recipient of protection, she should also be able to provide Xia Zhi with her "vision" just like the white cat.

Xia Zhi tested it on the little girl. She was wearing the golden headband, which suppressed all her abilities, including her powerful mental strength.

Therefore, Xia Zhi did not feel any resistance. Just like when dealing with the white cat, he directly gained her perspective and saw himself in front of her from her point of view.

This strange feeling is somewhat like looking in a mirror.

The little girl herself was completely unaware of this until Xia Zhi used his mental power to speak to her in her mind, at which point she blankly looked up at him.

"Dad? Did you just talk to me?"

"No."

"Huh? But I clearly heard Dad's voice..."

Xia Zhi laughed and gave the little girl a brief explanation.

The little girl suddenly realized, "Oh, I see!"

Xia Zhi said to her, "I might need to use your perspective quite often from now on, is that alright?"

The little girl immediately said happily, "Yes, that's fine! My eyes are my dad's eyes!"

Xia Zhi smiled and patted her head.

She squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

"Alright, it's time to get up. Go back and change your clothes."

"Ah."

The little girl ran out with a clattering sound.

Xia Zhi leaned against the headboard, recalling the test she had just taken.

The little girl had a very wide and clear view.

However, there is a drawback: she cannot be completely controlled by him like the white cat.

Of course, Xia Zhi could also use his mental power to forcibly control her, and the little girl would probably be willing to relinquish control of her body, but that would always be inconvenient.

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, and then a good idea came to him.

He picked up the sunglasses that were on the bedside table.

These sunglasses were a gift from Yan Fei. They didn't have any special effect; they were just ordinary glasses that he used to cover his gray, lifeless eyes.

Xia Zhi had worn these ordinary sunglasses for a long time and had gotten used to them.

He reached out and removed the two black lenses from his sunglasses, then put them into his inventory.

Although these two lenses are not very useful, they are still a meaningful gift, so we should keep them safe.

Then, Xia Zhi opened the [Shop] and spent 2 points to buy two peculiar items that looked like two black crystals.

However, upon closer inspection, one can also see that the two crystals are trembling slightly.

They are actually alive. These two seemingly crystal-like objects are not real minerals, but rather a strange crystalline creature from another world—the crystal planarian.
