At night, the starry sky over Yashiori Island was already shrouded in dark clouds. It had been raining continuously during the day, and at night, it was a downpour.

The continuous drops of water hit the wooden roofs of the military camp, making a rustling sound, as if the heavens were collapsing.

Compared to the Shogunate, the resistance was ultimately somewhat lacking in resources.

Most of the soldiers could only live in tents. Only the officers were qualified to live in these wooden houses.

However, due to the perennial humid state of Watatsumi Island, the camps they built also had a waterproof function, so the resistance did not suffer from this natural disaster.

"This is actually a man-made disaster."

Standing in front of the sand table, Gorou sighed and said.

The huge sand table was currently covered by a large cloth. It wasn't that he didn't trust Bai Luo, but after all, he was not a member of the resistance. According to the regulations, this thing could not be shown to him.

The covering was just a symbolic gesture.

"Are you sure it wasn't done by Watatsumi Island?"

Listening to the thunder and rain outside the window, Bai Luo's fingers rhythmically tapped the armrest of the chair as he asked.

"At least it wasn't an order from our high command. Because both I and Lady Sangonomiya understand how important this matter is, and we would certainly not issue such an order."

Gorou said with great certainty, and then he slowly recounted the results of his investigation.

The incident happened on the day they defeated the Shogunate's army.

After the Divine Priestess learned that the Shogunate's army had sounded the retreat and would not attack for the time being, she recalled Gorou.

Bai Luo knew that she had gone to replenish her energy. Fearing that something major would happen to Watatsumi Island without a leader, she had let this dog go back to take over.

But that was where things went wrong.

Before Gorou left, he held a banquet for the troops who had been tense for a long time.

But when he left, he had instructed them not to drink, because the Shogunate had only retreated, not withdrawn. They were still watching them menacingly from Kujou Encampment.

But there was a soldier in the resistance who came from Mondstadt. Banquets there were inseparable from wine. So under his lead, this group of ronin from all over the world began to ignore military discipline and drink heavily.

When they woke up the next day, they found that one of the squads had disappeared.

At the same time, their people also received a report from the residents of Yashiori Island, saying that the wards on the island that suppressed the Tatarigami had all been destroyed, and many places on Yashiori Island had begun to be affected by the Tatarigami.

"That Mondstadter... have you investigated him?"

Bai Luo noticed a key point in Gorou's words and asked in a low voice.

"I have. He's also an old-timer in the resistance and has always had a problem with drinking. But the matter should have nothing to do with him, because he was dead drunk that night and didn't wake up until late the next day. Although the law does not punish the masses, as the leader, he was still punished by me."

If Bai Luo was suspicious, how could Gorou not be suspicious of that Mondstadter?

But just as he had said, that Mondstadter's background was clean, and his drinking was indeed an old problem of his. It looked like a coincidence no matter how you looked at it.

The Shogunate's army had just sounded the retreat, and such an incident had occurred on Yashiori Island. There must be a big secret behind this.

Thinking of this, Bai Luo was 100% sure that this incident was definitely the work of their Fatui again.

Hmm? Why say "again"?

Have we, the Fatui, not done this kind of thing enough?

The Shogunate's army had been suppressing the resistance for years. Even though the arrival of him, the Battousai, had greatly boosted the morale of the resistance, it was not a reason for them to retreat.

Unfortunately, the Kujou Clan, which was at the high command of the Shogunate's army, happened to have been infiltrated by the Fatui.

Destroying the Tatarigami ward might cause some irreversible damage to Yashiori Island, but for the Shogunate's army, this kind of damage was almost negligible.

In addition, they could also take this opportunity to sling mud at Watatsumi Island. How could they give up such a good opportunity?

So the Kujou Clan would definitely hit it off with the Fatui. The retreat was just to observe, for fear that their soldiers would be affected by the Tatarigami.

"In any case, our resistance is stationed on Yashiori Island, and the Tatarigami ward on Yashiori Island was destroyed. In addition, the source of the Tatarigami is our Watatsumi Island's Great God of Watatsumi. This blame will eventually be pinned on our resistance."

With a bitter smile, Gorou explained.

He was also very clear about the matter of the Divine Priestess seeking help from Mr. Battousai.

He knew that it was a ridiculous thing for them, who claimed to be righteous, to weave lies and let the Battousai clarify for them.

But he had no choice. This seemed to be the only way out for Watatsumi Island at the moment.

The patrolling soldiers had already picked up some leaflets today. They were all about helping to rescue the disaster victims. Although they didn't mention that the ward was destroyed by the resistance, they were crazily hinting that it was not unrelated to the resistance.

This also gave Gorou a headache.

"Lord Gorou, Mr. Himura's room has been cleaned up and is ready for occupancy at any time."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

In fact, after learning that Bai Luo was coming, Gorou had already begun to arrange for Bai Luo's accommodation. But due to the rain, it was only now that it was ready.

"Then I won't disturb Mr. Himura's rest. I've already arranged the specific matters. If Mr. Himura finds it troublesome, it's fine to just stay in this military camp for a few days. We will hand over the investigation results to you at that time."

It was getting late, so Gorou no longer disturbed Bai Luo.

After all, after the ward on Yashiori Island was destroyed, it was not an easy thing to adapt to life here.

Under the guidance of the resistance soldiers, Bai Luo came to a remote wooden house. Although the location was remote, the interior of the wooden house had everything one could need, and there were even some welcome notes.

Bai Luo did not touch anything else, but casually picked up the writing brush on the table, dipped it in some ink, and opened the door.

He seemed to be testing the quality of the ink. He just casually drew a wavy line on the door, then nodded in satisfaction and closed the door again.

To him, it was just a casually written character. But to the Fatui, this character was not simple. It represented the identity of the person who wrote it.

It was also a secret code among the Fatui.

The various incidents that had occurred in the resistance all indicated that this place should have also been infiltrated by the Fatui.

Igor had hidden his identity for him. The Fatui here should not know that the Battousai was a Fatui Harbinger, so his appearance here would inevitably attract the attention of the spies hidden within the resistance.

And as long as this spy came to inquire about his information, they would inevitably see the character on the door.

The rest was easy. There were some things that he couldn't do with his identity as the Battousai, but the insider hidden within the resistance could help him complete them.

After doing all this, Bai Luo lay down on the bed with his clothes on, closed his eyes, and waited for the spy to arrive.

As expected, about an hour later, there was a rhythmic knock on Bai Luo's door.

And this rhythm was naturally one of the Fatui's secret codes.

That person had come to him.
