Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Il's request was agreed to by Azar.

The other party believed that there would be no chance for El to go back on his word, so he agreed readily.

"See the Heart of God up close? That's good. Only when she goes to see it will she know what kind of great plan she has joined."

Then El stepped into the laboratory that housed the Heart of God. She thought there was no one there, but she didn't expect...

There she met another... Executor of the Fools.

The other person had light blue hair and wore a mask, with only the lower half of his face exposed. He stood in front of the Heart of God with a halo in the center, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Yi Er walked over and the other party turned around: "Miss Yi Er, I have heard of you for a long time."

She has never seen this person before.

And this person has a familiar... I don't know how to describe it... a certain feeling of the same kind.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the second executive officer of the Fools, codenamed [Doctor]."

"……Hello."

El thought...ah, this is a bit troublesome.

He is actually Azar's partner.

How to do it?

She smiled: "It's really scary that someone like you has heard my name."

"Please don't be so self-effacing, Miss El. After all, some of my early experiments were inspired by your stories..."

El's smile froze slightly.

"……what did you say?"

The doctor's slow reply:

"For example, you should have remembered the solution to the Demonic God's residue that you and I both understand - after you got the triangular pyramid sealed object?"

With just these words, Yi Er suddenly paused on the spot, feeling cold all over his body.

"Why, are you doubting my words?" the doctor said with interest, "Maybe you can think about why Mr. Azar left that triangular cone in your cell after he ordered you to be locked up. ?”

That was an important container that sealed the power of Germanubis. How could it be just thrown there?

"Ah, I forgot - maybe you were too afraid of the dark at the time, and your panic prevented you from thinking too much. It doesn't matter, I can sort it out for you..."

"You may not know that I once spent some time in the desert doing research on magic scale disease. Of course - this is only superficial research."

"How about the place where the demon god fell? We still have to try our luck to find out, are you right?"

El's eyes widened instantly.

"So you started from the beginning..." She trembled a little, and an unbelievable thought came to her mind.

"Yes, I accidentally obtained an ancient object in the desert. After deciphering the information on it, I found that it was a dossier... recording a notorious criminal. Who do you think she is?"

Still need to guess?

"...It's me, right?"

The doctor chuckled.

"Very smart. The information engraved on it is not only what you did, but also the last...where you were sealed." The doctor smiled.

"We are all researchers. I believe you can understand me... Just like you can dig a demon god's tomb directly, of course I also want to visit that sealed place. Unfortunately, the seal is too strong and I spent a lot of money. Only then did I finally break the seal."

So El woke up.

That's right.

...That's right.

"So you're... observing me?"

The thing in the chest was beating more and more violently. Realizing this, El's eyes looked at the doctor filled with unspeakable, suppressed and trembling anger.

"As a fellow researcher, I believe you can understand, right?"

The doctor said with regret: "It is normal for researchers to be curious. It's a pity that you lost your memory and were adopted and educated by an ordinary family in Xumi. You began to adapt to the rules here. I thought you were going to become an ordinary person." And a boring person, but the fact still didn’t disappoint me.”

"El, your research on the power of the devil is enough for us to become the most solid ally. As long as you agree to this, regarding your past... that ancient document, I will destroy it completely. What do you think? "

What he meant was obvious.

As long as she destroys that file and agrees to cooperate with the doctor, El's past will be completely covered up, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to mention it to others...

She still has a chance to become the familiar "El" in everyone's eyes.

But conversely...

"What if I don't agree?"

She raised her eyes, her golden eyes filled with unspeakable emotions.

"Okay, let me put it another way - if you don't agree, then the things you have done in the past, as well as the contents of that ancient document, will be revealed. Do you agree now?"

El was silent.

The opportunity to study the heart of God was just around the corner, she thought, why should she hesitate?

Whether it was destroying that ancient document or publishing that ancient document, it shouldn't be of any importance to her.

...that's how it should be.

She closed her eyes, and the scene from a few years ago suddenly appeared in her mind.

[I promise that I will never be overly curious about the unknown, I will never conduct research that violates religious orders, and I will never disregard my own body. Before being a researcher, I am myself first. 】

...Does she still care about this?

El shook his head and threw such thoughts away.

"Okay." She suddenly smiled, stretched out her hand directly in front of the Heart of God, and suddenly took out a sharp knife.

"You are right..." The sharp knife stabbed into the doctor's chest instantly. "I have been here for so many years, and I have indeed been 'educated' a lot, and I have become a fairly normal person."

But after recovering her memory, she picked up a side of herself that she had forgotten for many years.

Regarding the current life, family and friends... I care, of course I care, so...

"If you die, I won't have to worry about the ancient records, right?"

The doctor's breath gradually weakened, but he was still interested, and finally said: "What a pity. Miss Il, it would be great if you were willing to join the crowd of fools."

Then there was no sound.

And next...

El raised his eyes, his golden eyes shining with excitement.

"I am a person who is not determined." She said, "Because I am afraid that I will agree to create a god, but I will also choose to stop because of fear..."

"I have already paid the price for chasing power. Hermanubis kept me in that place for too long. If I had not recovered my memory, maybe I would still agree to you... But you want Azar to put that triangular cone away?" In my cell.”

The doctor's calculation was good, and he successfully reminded her of past memories - not only memories about "power research", but more... the emotion of "fear".

Facing the corpses at the scene, El slowly added the second half of the sentence:

"I was so desperate before because my wish of 'immortality' was still valid."

As for now...

One failure and she might die.

"So I want to...surrender to the Little Lucky Grass King."

El slowly raised his hand and reached for the Heart of God.
