Chapter 28 - A Useless 'Talisman of No Taboos'

That person's target must be the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman, right?

Standing inside Northland Bank, Childe couldn't help but think this.

It was obvious that the mysterious person who had just broken into Northland Bank possessed considerable strength, perhaps even surpassing his own.

And for someone like that, it was clearly impossible that they would specifically come to Northland Bank just to steal money.

One must know that once a certain level of strength is achieved, money becomes completely effortless to obtain.

So, the mysterious person's target must surely be the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman; there's no doubt about it.

But if that's the case, how did that person know he had an Omni-Ubiquity Talisman? And how did they know the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman was kept in Northland Bank?

Could it have been leaked from the Yanshang Teahouse?

After a moment's thought, Childe quickly identified a suspect.

As for why, it was because that very Omni-Ubiquity Talisman was obtained from there.

But even so, how did that person know the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman was kept here?

Is there a traitor within Northland Bank?

Casually glancing at his subordinates around him, Childe felt this conjecture had a high possibility.

But that wasn't enough; he also needed to know why that mysterious person took the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman.

Although he hadn't yet figured out how to utilize this Omni-Ubiquity Talisman, he knew that such an extremely rare item could certainly play a huge role in his quest to acquire a Gnosis.

Furthermore, he had even planned to have someone attempt to replicate it, as more of such an item would definitely be better, but it was taken before he had a chance to act.

Wait… could it have been done by one of Liyue's Adepti?

Suddenly, Childe considered this possibility.

After all, the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman is related to the Adepti.

However, the thought that such methods didn't fit the image of the Adepti made Childe fall into deep thought again.

"Lord Childe, did that person not take anything?"

At that moment, Ekaterina walked in; she was surprised to find that the bank's interior wasn't in the imagined state of disarray, as if nothing had been lost.

"My safe deposit box stored here was taken." Childe's tone sounded very normal, as if he were talking about an unimportant matter.

"What?! Lo…Lord Childe, I am terribly sorry…"

"It's fine, I don't blame you. That person's strength is not something you could contend with."

With that, Childe walked out.

In truth, right now, more than getting the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman back, he wished he had the chance to have a good fight with the person who took it.

No matter what, that person's strength was certainly extraordinary, and what he enjoyed most was fighting such individuals.

Hmm? Zhongli is still there…

Right… I feel he might know more about the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman…

Perhaps asking him might yield some discoveries…

As soon as he exited Northland Bank, Childe saw Zhongli again among the crowd, which gave him an idea.

However, he didn't plan to ask him right away, as it would too easily draw connections to what happened at Northland Bank.

"I never thought Mr. Zhongli would also enjoy watching a spectacle."

Walking up to Zhongli, Childe said with a smile.

"An attack on Northland Bank is a rare occurrence at any time; it would be a pity not to witness the commotion."

Zhongli stated his reason solemnly.

"I see. Such an event is indeed rare. How about we chat over tea tomorrow? Consider it satisfying your curiosity." Seeing Zhongli interested in the matter, Childe seized the opportunity to invite him for tea tomorrow and discuss the incident.

"Hmm, that would be good. I suppose no one understands this matter better than you." Childe's invitation was exactly what Zhongli wanted.

However, he felt that Childe might not reveal the full extent of the matter, as something important must be hidden within Northland Bank to attract the attention of someone even he couldn't track.

"Then we'll meet at the teahouse tomorrow, Mr. Zhongli."

With that, Childe prepared to visit the Yanshang Teahouse once more.

Is this… an Omni-Ubiquity Talisman?

Holding a yellow talisman paper in his hand, Kaito was lying on the bed, using Wendy's thigh as a pillow, carefully examining it.

Originally, he just wanted to get some Mora, but instead, he ended up taking the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman from Childe.

If he remembered correctly, the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman could be used to visit Adepti and temporarily remove seals. Childe later used it to temporarily unseal Osial, the Overlord of the Vortex.

However, to remove a seal, a single Omni-Ubiquity Talisman isn't enough; many are required.

So… what do I need it for?

Since he clearly wasn't going to return the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman, Kaito was pondering what he would use it for.

Visiting Adepti… I don't think I need to…

Unsealing Osial?

Am I just bored and looking for trouble?

Or am I bored and want to summon Osial just to beat him up?

After some thought, Kaito realized that the Omni-Ubiquity Talisman seemed to have no use for him.
