My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

"That guy is a moron."

Beidou's eyes were full of memories, and he spoke in a very gentle tone as he said the words of blame.

"As my trusted right-hand man, she has the same status as the vice-captain of the Southern Cross Fleet, but she has never thought of using this power for profit. During the most difficult days of the fleet, she paid her own salary to other crew members from poor families, and took on various jobs as much as possible, including finance, outlook, cartography, and negotiation. She did almost everything she could. , allowing me to focus on realizing my dream of eradicating seamounts."

Hu Tao listened quietly to Beidou's words without speaking.

"At that time, I was focused on searching for the giant beasts of the underworld, and I hadn’t really realized how much work the captain had to do, let alone how much she had done and how much burden she had relieved me. The fleet went out to sea again and again, and finally encountered Haishan. In that battle, she, who was already exhausted mentally and physically due to the heavy work in the past few days, forced her exhausted body to fight against Haishan."

Beidou gently caressed the suicide note as if treating a fragile rare treasure.

"She successfully injured Haishan, and I successfully seized the opportunity to win the battle, laying the foundation for the final victory of that fierce battle. The price was her life. She is the person I feel most sorry for. We share the joys and sorrows, but I failed to let her enjoy the first half."

"Unexpectedly, the widely circulated story of Captain Beidou in Liyue slaying the giant sea and mountain beasts has such a hidden secret."

"So, where did this suicide note come from?"

"Living people can write a suicide note for themselves in advance and give it to the Purity Hall for sealing. When they die, the Purity Hall will deliver the suicide note to the designated person."

The answer of the Master of the Hall of Rebirth did not satisfy Beidou.

"She is my right-hand man, and we spend the most time together on weekdays. She understands my persistence in eradicating Haishan, and I understand her temperament. Although I only understood her dedication after that battle, I still know the rest of the basic information. When my family has passed away long ago, I am the only person to whom she can send a suicide note, even if she does give it to herself in advance. After writing the suicide note, she should have hidden the paper somewhere on the ship instead of giving it to the Death Hall."

"The Southern Cross fleet often goes to sea. The sea is rough, the weather is bad, and it is in danger of capsizing when attacked by sea monsters. Even if there is a special box to protect the paper, there may be flaws. In comparison, the Rebirth Hall established in Liyue City should More reliable."

Hu Tao still has no intention of revealing the truth to Beidou.

Knowing that the person he owed money to has lingered for many years after his death, worrying about her, the emotions that are more likely to arise are guilt and regret than happiness. If the soul of the deceased still remains at the border, After listening to the story Beidou told, considering that the opponent's identity as the owner of the God's Eye and the fact that he was working for Qixing, he should have the quality of keeping secrets. Hutao might also be able to guide Beidou, but that is not necessary now.

With Hua Yi's help , the soul that can write a suicide note after death and convey the longing, has already left the border and gone to the place where it should be.

What if Beidou goes to the border with great fanfare to check?

What if the Southern Cross fleet encounters danger again? What if a crew member dies and Beidou is staying at the border?

"……"

Beidou stared at Hu Tao, feeling annoyed.

There is no need to worry about things that can be handled, and there is no point in worrying about things that cannot be handled. This is Beidou's philosophy. However, when it comes to the crew member that he trusts the most and owes the most to, Beidou must handle it and explore everything clearly.

"How much?"

"Um?"

"How many molas do you want before you tell me the true origin of the suicide note? Please quote a price. The Southern Cross fleet has been sailing for a long time, doing various businesses, and has accumulated some wealth. If it is not enough, at worst, I will borrow money from Ningguang."

Some people who know something about the Southern Cross Fleet believe that the backing behind the fleet is Tianquan Ningguang, so it can be equipped with a large number of weapons and freely travel to Liyue Port.

Otherwise, let alone a merchant ship belonging to another country. , even if it is a chamber of commerce in Liyue, if it arbitrarily equips the ship with excessive artillery and fishing guns and becomes a potential threat, at least it will be fined by the Department of General Affairs and the weapons that exceed the limit will be removed within a time limit, or at worst, the entire illegal ship will be impounded.

This is something Liyue Port must consider for its own safety. If there is really a force with ulterior motives and sends dozens of heavily armed ships disguised as commercial fleets and docked at the Liyue Port pier, they can directly attack them. Launching a close-range attack in the city is bound to cause countless casualties.

In fact, Beidou does have an intersection with Ningguang, but she does not think that she is Ningguang's subordinate, and both parties should have an equal cooperative relationship.

Now Beidou expresses his willingness to confront Ningguang for the truth Borrowing money is equivalent to letting go of the pride in her heart and taking the initiative to bow her head, which shows the status of the writer of the suicide note in her heart.

"Shengshengtang has been passed down for thousands of years. If you really want to make money, the accumulated wealth should be no less than the Seven Stars of Liyue. If you can do it but don't do it, this is the persistence of Shengshengtang."

Hu Tao straightened his hat. This costume passed down from the previous generation of the Master of the Rebirth Hall has a well-known name, Qiankun Taigua Hat.

It was like the heroic Beidou speaking in a soft tone like never before, weird and charming. Hutao also showed a different side than before, she was very determined

"The answer Captain Beidou wants to get is another insistence from the Rebirth Hall. Even if all the Moras in the world are placed in front of me, I will not change my decision."

Hutao, who took the initiative to take Hua Yi to the border, had no intention of letting go of Beidou.

Beidou is not Hua Yi!

"Hall Master Hu is admitting it? The suicide note was not written in advance"

"I've said everything that needs to be said, why should Captain Beidou think so wildly?"

"Yes, I'm just imagining things."

Beidou pulled a chair and sat down, with an attitude of never giving up until he achieved his goal.

"I heard that countless Mondstadt people, including the Church of the West Wind, firmly believe that no matter where they are, as long as they die where the wind can blow, the soul of the Mondstadt will be carried back to their hometown by the wind. There are also many theories about souls in Liyue. The weird stories in Wanwenjishe and the various ghost stories told by storytellers all have the saying that people will become ghosts after death. If the person in Liyue who knows the most about death is probably Go to the Rebirth Hall"

"What do you want?"

"Hall Master Hu is unwilling to tell me the truth, so I will wait here for you to let go."

"The Hall of Rebirth is my territory, I can kick you out!"

"Then I can only wait at the door. I am the owner of the Eye of God and the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet. I have some reputation. Hall Master Hu, you don’t want people to talk about this matter, right?"

Beidou wanted to show toughness and gain the initiative in negotiations. However, knowing that Hu Tao who forwarded the suicide note was kind to her, she still had an apology and request for more in her eyes.

"Please tell me the origin of the suicide note, it is really important to me."
