Opening 6
.
After taking the night off, Lucius and Paimon return to Qingce Village, where they see Keqing discussing with Xingqiu.
Xingqiu: Rest assured, all is quiet here in Qingce Village. Chongyun is guarding the outside, and I'm guarding the inside. Not a problem in sight.
Keqing: Good. I've made some progress in my investigation as well.
Lucius: You might as well count me in.
Lucius butts in as he stops right in front of them.
Keqing: You're just in time, Lucius. I looked everywhere and I found some clues regarding the Treasure Hoarders. Besides wagon tracks, I also came across bits and pieces of fireworks packaging scattered on the road. I looked everywhere and I found some clues regarding the Treasure Hoarders.

Lucius: Did they run away?
Keqing: No, I think they might be just overly careless. I seem to have found the location where they've been stashing all their stolen goods. They must have thought it was well-hidden and deemed it unnecessary to post any guards. The amount of fireworks they've amassed there is astonishing. Not only did they steal the ones in Qingce Village but also from other locations, too. They've gathered all the stolen goods there.
Keqing: I've asked the Millelith on guard at Qingce Village to report this to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They will organize a search around that warehouse.
Paimon: Now that the Millelith is involved, you don't need to handle this yourself anymore!
Keqing: The Treasure Hoarders are notoriously cunning, and they may even have lookouts. If they notice anything suspicious, they will move the fireworks and our single lead will be lost. I have to keep an eye on the situation.
Paimon: Uh, you're not really thinking that you can take all of them yourself, are you?
Keqing: No, I am not that reckless. I just want to investigate the case thoroughly. But now that I have your help, the idea is feasible...
Paimon: So you really are considering it!
Lucius: We'll be fine. Let's get going.
Keqing: Right.

Lucius, Keqing and Paimon head West of Qingce Village where they spot a small Treasure Hoarder camp in an empty field.
Lucius: There's the fireworks.
Lucius was about to rush forward and attack, but Keqing grabs his shoulder.
Keqing: Wait, Lucius. Let's hide behind this rock for now.
Lucius: Why?
Keqing: Let's just wait and see what happens.
Lucius: Alright.
As they hide behind the rock, one of the Treasure Hoarders approaches their boss.
Xiuyong: Hey Boss, you think we have enough fireworks now?
Xingxiu: Hah! Are you kidding? This ain't nowhere near enough!
Xiuyong: Uh, but Boss, if we want more fireworks, we'll have to steal 'em in the city! Ain't gonna be easy...
