Honkai Impact 3rd: The audience of social death in the second creation of sand sculpture

Chapter 145: Rock God? Salt God!

Hearing Zhongli's question, Furninna's face was serious. She explained: "You must know that the Rock God Morax has governed Liyue for 3,700 years. As a mortal, being able to witness the death of a god in his lifetime is an experience that is rare in a thousand years - not to mention... you even arranged his funeral yourself!"

Hearing this, Zhongli argued, "The Wangsheng Hall has been responsible for sending immortals, and this has been the case throughout the ages!"

"I am just the one who has the honor to organize the Immortal Sending Ceremony for Emperor Yanwang. I am not the special one!"

"In a word - it's just a coincidence."

[Hu Tao: Yes, what Ke Qing said makes sense! Even if he doesn't go, it should be someone else from the Hall of Rebirth's turn to go!]

【March 7: Ah? Ah! I understand! 】

[Hu Tao: I understand. Anyway, it is impossible that the Geo King was assassinated by the guest official Zhongli...]

[March 7: I understand! The assassination of the Rock King must have been done by you, the Wangsheng Hall? ]

【walnut:......?】

[Walnut: Huh?]

[March 7: You must have deliberately assassinated the Rock King Emperor in order to organize the Immortal Sending Ceremony! This is also a marketing advertisement!]

[Hu Tao: ...Has her train of thought always been so strange?]

[Xing: Sorry, sorry, I didn’t think highly of her...]

Hearing Zhongli's words, Funina sneered and continued to question: "Coincidence? Humph!"

As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips, looking confident of victory: "I sent people to Liyue Harbor to investigate and collect evidence. Do you know what happened?"

"Zhongli happened to become famous a few years before and after Morax was assassinated!"

“Before this, almost no one knew about it!”

"A person with such a suspicious background, who is on good terms with the executor and a member of the Hall of Rebirth, isn't this like provoking the God of Rocks and issuing a criminal notice - 'I will personally collect your body'?!"

[Qingque: So that's how you understand it? That's amazing! ]

[March 7: Now that I say it, there are quite a lot of coincidences...]

[Ningguang: ...It seems that after this video, Mr. Zhongli really needs to give Liyue a reasonable explanation. ]

[Ningguang: Regardless of the fact that the Emperor was assassinated, this mysterious background is not something an ordinary person would have.]

[Zhongli: ... (From a universal perspective, I don’t know how to respond to this. Waiting for an answer online. Pretty urgent.)]

[Hu Tao: When my grandfather was still alive, Zhongli was already in the Hall of the Dead! I don’t know what happened before that, and I haven’t asked the guest official.]

[Su Shang: So, he is the legacy left to you by your grandfather? ]

【Zhongli:? ?】

[Ying: Hey, this description is quite apt—Su Chang is still as cultured as ever! ]

[Zhongli: In my humble opinion, the term "minister entrusted with the care of the orphans" is more appropriate than "inheritance".]

[Qingque: Forget about entrusting an orphan to someone else, but also a minister? Does Hu Tao have a throne to inherit? ]

[March 7: Okay! I'll just say it was done by you, Wangshengtang! You're already planning to usurp the throne!]

【Walnut: ......6.】

Walnut in the video was also startled: "Oh my? Little Walnut, I'm almost convinced!"

Then, she looked at Zhongli beside her and said, "Zhongli, if you lose after making such a big fuss, I think... your life will be in danger!"

Zhongli also looked at her and asked, "What do you think, Hall Master?"

Walnut nodded: "You also know that Wangsheng Hall is having a limited time sale now..."

Zhongli:?

Zhongli:!

Hu Tao ignored the shocked Zhongli and continued, "And internal employees can enjoy a 30% discount!"

[Ying: As expected of you! You really don’t forget your original intention...]

[Hu Tao: I can’t help it. Who made me support such a freeloader? If I don’t work harder, Wangshengtang will go bankrupt!]

[Qingque: I remember when you advertised before, didn’t you say 50% off and buy one get one free? Why did you raise the price for internal employees?]

[Hu Tao: Ahem, ahem... We are internal employees, so we should support our own performance...]

[Ying: Can the second stele be donated to the Wangsheng Hall? ]

【walnut:??】

Zhongli pondered for a moment, then replied: "Although the hall master often says to prepare for a rainy day, but right now..."

Walnut interrupted him: "Oh! I see you hanging around all day, so I'm going to give you a chance to improve your performance!"

Zhongli nodded: "What the hall master said is very true - when the expenses come, we should record them in the account of the Wangsheng Hall as usual, right?"

Walnut was startled: "Oh my?"

[Hu Tao: Damn it, I still haven’t beaten him! ]

[Ying: The main point is that you don’t have to spend a cent, just get it for free! ]

【March 7: So, does this count as an admission of guilt?】

[Walnut: Uh... not yet? I think Keqing can still be saved? ]

In the video, Villette listened to the increasingly outrageous discussion between the two and finally couldn't help but said, "Silence, silence!"

"No frolicking in court!"

Walnut waved his hands and replied, "But this is business!"

That Villette said seriously: "It is forbidden to discuss business in court!"

Walnut spread his hands and said, "Isn't it true that the dead are the greatest?"

[March 7: No, he is still standing next to you! How did he become a dead person? ]

[Hu Tao: Hey, it's only a matter of time! It will be too late to discuss it after he lies down!]

【March 7: That makes sense...】

[Zhongli: ... (Sooner or later, I will be pissed off to death by the hall master)]

When Villette heard Walnut's words, he angrily said, "It is forbidden in court to discuss business with the dead!"

【Ying: Listen to what you say, are you speaking human language? 】

On the other side of the courtroom, Furninna was already getting impatient: "Hey! You guys are not going to give up just yet! This is too boring!"

Of course, the inner Fufu was already jumping for joy: "This was such an easy win! Yay!"

[March 7: Do you also have two personalities? ]

【Ying: It’s forbidden! 】

【Qingque: Please forbid it! 】

In the video, Zhongli was still defending himself: "What motive do I have to assassinate the Rock King?"

Furninna sneered and questioned, "I think you often call the Rock God "Morax" instead of the Rock King, right?"

Zhongli stroked his chin with one hand and asked curiously, "Oh? Why did Ms. Funina say that?"

Feeling that she had grasped the truth, Furninna pointed at Zhongli and said loudly: "Because of you, Zhongli! You are the descendant of the followers of the Salt Demon God Heulia!"

【Zhongli: Huh?】
