Genshin Impact: We have to find a way to abduct people.

"No. 2 transformed himself into exactly the same person as No. 1, and created a third individual: No. 3." Abedo crossed his arms and continued to tell the story.

"Huh?! Three?!"

"But the difference is that No. 2 wanted to become a truly perfect person. So he erased the marks that symbolized flaws on his and No. 3's necks."

Sora was surprised: "Deliberately... erased?"

"If you ask me, erasing the mark may just be a subconscious thing. He is so eager to be a perfect person that he forgets that human beings are alive with imperfections."

Abedo looked at the table and raised his hand to turn off the heating element oven.

"No. 2's plan is very thorough. No. 3 is responsible for attracting attention. After No. 1 takes care of No. 3, No. 1, who thinks that the threat has disappeared, will inevitably become relaxed. The moment when No. 1 is alone is the best time for No. 2 to take action. Timing. Get rid of No. 1, and he can become the only individual. He will replace No. 1 in everyone's memory without even noticing, inheriting No. 1's identity, residence, clothes, sword, name and friends. But people didn’t know that the people they saw yesterday and today were actually two people.”

If Sora and Wutong's previous magical changes to the story were visible and audible, then Abedo's is terrifying to think about. Paimon had goosebumps all over his body: "It's so scary, so scary... I will never trust others again..."

"But just before No. 2 implemented the plan, two special strangers appeared. No. 2 tried to contact them, but found that they could vaguely feel that they were different from No. 1."

"..."

"..."

"What? Are you scared?" Seeing that the two parties involved who understood the situation did not give any substantive feedback, Abedo found it strange.

Paimon, who was not in the situation, was more concerned about the subsequent storyline: "What happened next? What happened to the stranger?"

"Of course they were included in the plan by No. 2. For No. 2, there are two more people who must be eliminated. It's like three roses in the yard, they look exactly the same. Only one of the three One strain is a high-quality one without poisonous thorns, and the remaining two are inferior ones with poisonous thorns. In this world, only the gardener who takes care of them can tell which one is a high-quality one. People don’t like poisonous ones. Among plants, only perfect roses can sell for high prices. If inferior products want to cover up the fact that they are worthless, they must use their poisonous thorns to get rid of the gardener. No. 2 thought so too. So he hid in the dark and waited patiently. Maybe in a little while, his chance will come. He will become a real person."

This is not just a story...this is something that actually happened in the past. What Abedo wanted to tell the two of them was these cruel and incredible truths.

"What a depressing story. What happened next? Did No. 2 succeed? I can't even think about it..."

"Fortunately, the story is just a story and will not come true. No. 2 did not succeed in this story. But in the snowy mountains, you can't relax your vigilance." Albedo answered Paimon, and then looked at Sora who was thoughtful. Wutong: "Monsters that mutate using Dulin's power and flesh can also be regarded as Reindot's creations, and are no different from me. You must be careful of such creatures."

"No, it's different. Doctor Abedo, this is different." Wutong frowned, crossed his hands on his chest, and immediately retorted.

Sora also completely disagreed with Abedo's description and rhetoric of himself: "That's not the case. You are Abedo, our friend, not a monster."

"Haha, I'm glad to hear you say that. It doesn't matter, I know my origins. We are the same species, and I don't need to hide the truth in front of you. It's just that sometimes I feel a little helpless when I think that alchemy is such a great knowledge. As a stepping stone As one of the creatures of the earth, how arrogant are we who desire to control our destiny and create?"

Abedo raised the corners of his mouth and handed the water glasses to his friends. There was an appropriate amount of sugar in them, which was sweet and warm.

"You two, do you think creation is an act of arrogance? If not, then why do we call the thing that controls us and created us God? If so, then what qualifications do we have to claim to be the creator. Our To what extent should awe and respect be achieved, and where should it be used?”

Holding the water glass in his empty hand, the white mist slowly floated up with the wind blowing in from outside the camp, like a light dancer in a white dress: "How do you feel when you deal with counterfeit goods?"

"There's no special feeling. But..." Closing his eyes and opening them again, Abedo raised his head: "... Occasionally, I feel a little sad when I think of this."

-------------------------------------

Dr. Abedo, this long story is a bit like the classic beginning - "I have a friend".

In this case, only in very few cases does a friend really exist, but in most cases, it is almost equal to being oneself.

God, this is a bit of a blind spot in her knowledge.

Because if there is a god in the world, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipotent, then what are all the sufferings in the world?

If He is all-knowing and all-good, but the world is clearly not good and evil still exists, then how can we say He is all-powerful? If He is all-knowing and all-powerful, how can He be all-good if He stands aside and watches people pray and suffer without bringing any blessings? And if He is all-good and all-powerful, then He must not be omniscient. How many people are crying in the dark night, and there are more people chanting Buddha and chanting sutras outside the emergency room of the hospital than in any temple.

There is a saying that Pangu created the world and Nuwa cut off the ao to mend the sky. With the first life, Jingwei reclaimed the sea, Kuafu chased the sun, Dayu controlled the floods...

The emperor and the emperor are like candles and dragons. Then Suiren made fire, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and Cangjie created a thousand characters. It is also recorded in ancient books that the Goddess of Luo, Concubine Mi, looked to the emperor and cried cuckoos, and the carp leaped over the dragon gate...

Classic of Mountains and Seas, List of Fengshen, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, etc... To be honest, there are too many myths in my family. There are so many gods and goddesses that even one night would not be enough if I insist on counting them.

And gradually in modern times, to be honest, it's not that we don't inherit and respect it, but our daily obsessions are not that big, and they have more or less looked away. To put it simply, it is numb, and the edges have been worn away by life.

The future of this fucking life is really visible at a glance.

Oh, of course, except the God of Wealth.

As the saying goes, people in the Temple of Wealth cannot afford to kneel down, but people in front of the Temple of Yuelao ignore them.
