Genshin Impact: Become a heart-stealing thief in the land of justice

During the night when Yu Shui was locked up in the secret room at the bottom of Merlot Petersburg to leave Merlot Petersburg, their story was still happening to him in Merlot Petersburg.

Because his true appearance had been exposed in front of two teammates from the special training team, Lessing was actually very uneasy when he was lying in the infirmary recovering from his injuries that day. He was already prepared to lose his hard-earned peaceful life again. preparation.

The last time was five hundred years ago... Originally, he was just an ordinary child living in Narcissus Crossing Orphanage. Because he was handsome and young, he was cared for by many brothers and sisters.

During the day, there were hugs from Dean Lilith, snacks from Vice Dean Besser, jokes from Marianne and Alan, and teasing from Brother Rene, who was a few years older than him... At that time, every day seemed to be very long and peaceful. .

These are so old that Lessing can't remember them at all, but there seems to be a figure lingering in his memory... It seems to be a secret shared by all the children in Narcissus Cross Yard. There is a strange white-haired big brother in the yard. .

It seems that adults can't see him, only children can talk to him and play with him. He looks like an adult, but his personality is very compatible with children.

In Lessing's impression, that

The white-haired elder brother seemed to like him very much and often gave him the candy in his hand... although the candy tasted bland and tasteless, just like a ball of air.

In fact, it seemed to be a ball of air, because from an objective physical point of view, the white-haired big brother did not exist at all. This was what Rene told him after Narcissus Cross Yard was closed.

In other words, that man was a ghost... Lessing never knew the name of the white-haired brother, but now, five hundred years later, he seemed to already know who that man was at that time.

It's amazing...

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about what happened behind Narcissus Cross Yard. Due to the disaster caused by the fight against Erinas, the battleship driven by Vice Dean Besser sank. Narcissus Cross Yard was flooded, and Dean Lilith was missing. Lessing, who had no parents, followed Rene and Jacob and wandered around.

Until later he established the Narcissus Cross Society, and then experienced destruction again... For five hundred years, he wandered in Fontaine like a wandering soul, unable to die and unable to live, mourning all the misfortunes and deaths in the world, until I was lucky enough to see Yu Shui in the opera house.

He seemed to recall what it was like to be alive... After that, he hid his identity and became a gangster in the Gray River of Fontainebleau. Relying on his own ability, he would not be particularly conspicuous but would not be unknown. As expected, ...Xiavoile approached him and invited him to join the Fontainebleau patrol.

"Just like this...starting my new life should be good, right?"

Now even this life may be lost.

"Hey...you go ahead. You have a fruit basket in your hand, don't you?"

"Chelsea, don't push me. I still...I haven't straightened up my expression yet."

Then, Lessing's thoughts, which were being changed by Nurse Higwen, were interrupted by the sound coming from the door of the infirmary. It was obvious that two of his teammates were looking for him.

He took a deep breath, and then... showed his usual frivolous smile.

"Hey you two, what are you doing pushing and shoving at the door? Come to see me but don't come in, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"Hey? Boy, why are you talking? Who would be afraid of you?"

Sure enough, being so provoked by Lessing, the two of them began to scramble to get ahead.

As noisy as ever.

Xigwen changed the gauze on his chest, and when she saw this scene, she patted his chest thoughtfully.

"?"

"Talk to your friends. Although you are special, it doesn't mean you have to lose anything, does it?"

"...The head nurse is so keen that I feel wary."

"Ah? Yes, Higwen doesn't know."

Xigwen tilted her head innocently~

……

In fact, what happened next was within Lessing's expectation. Although the two companions, Roz and Chelsea, tried their best to keep their relationship as before, they still inevitably showed unnaturalness.

The scene of Lesina turning into the apostle of the abyss has lingered in their minds... Let's just say that this situation will have an impact.

"But... don't think too much, boy, no matter what kind of existence you are, you are still a member of our Fontainebleau patrol, right? We agreed that after solving the matter in Merlot Petersburg, we will go together The Depo Hotel grabs cakes and only gives out sixteen slices a day!"

"Hehe~ I was still panicking at first, but now that I know how powerful Lessing is, I don't have to worry anymore. I will definitely get the cake."

"Still eating? I see your face has become round, Chelsea."

"?!"

The content of the chat is gradually becoming familiar.

That night, when chaos broke out in Merlot Petersburg, he witnessed with his own eyes that Julius, who was controlled by the power of the abyss, committed an attack on Lulvi, but he was unable to stop it. In the end, he rushed to the infirmary and saved Lulvi. Saved.

Lessing noticed that his wound was torn and his chest hurt like needles, but he still...after Sora and Paimon left, he secretly followed him out, wearing the hospital gown of the infirmary.

Even Sigwen didn't know about this. She would probably be surprised that her patient ran away without following the doctor's instructions. If he was caught, he would have to escape a barren milkshake training.

Uh-huh...but it's always better to compare the dead zone of water with strong tea.

In fact, it was because a familiar force had been calling him to go. He knew who this power belonged to, and he also knew that the other party was not from the same group as him, but he still went, and finally saw the trapped person who was designed by Yu Shui. Jacob inside the seal.

Lessing accidentally laughed.

"Pfft...Jacob, why are you the one being imprisoned here? It's really rare to see you looking so deflated."

"...We haven't seen each other for so long, and this is the first thing you want to say to me? Haha."

"Of course not, I still want to laugh and laugh at you, even though I seem to have been defeated by that guy Yu Shui."

Tsk, what does the defeat of special patrol member Lessing have to do with him, the abyss apostle Lessing? He is still the most powerful kid.

Jacob, who was locked in the seal, had broken free from the shackles of Yu Shui, but he did not choose to leave. At this moment, looking at Lessing who was smiling happily across from him, his eyes quietly revealed a trace of intolerance and pity.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"You should know that Yu Shui's current state is still not at his peak. The power of the abyss in his body has not been fully exerted. Now he...cannot repair the cracks in the world in the mystery."

"Oh? So, what does this have to do with me? I can't let him return to his peak."

"No, you can."

"...?"

Jacob fell silent after saying one word to Lessing... What does he mean, he can?

"The fundamental reason why Mr. Yu Shui cannot regain his strength is that his soul is incomplete and redundant...most of the remnant soul of the first-generation Water Dragon King and a small amount of Erinas soul fragments, but our original fusion was not perfect."

Yu Shui's soul was born noble, but he was born with imperfections. It was inevitable for him to break through the shackles of the fourth star and perfect the flaws in his soul.

Lessing silently looked up at Jacob opposite.

"I remember that Rene once proposed the concept of 'repairing the soul with the soul'. To repair a soul, another soul of equal strength needs to actively sacrifice itself...?"

"Only your soul is equal to Yu Shui, the "vowed mourner"... The existence nourished by bidding farewell to the souls of the dead for five hundred years is no less than that of any god in the world. "

"So you came to me just to tell me this, and then ask me to...sacrifice myself for Yu Shui? You...why, I don't want it."

Lessing only felt that his life was used as a bargaining chip in the plan, which made him unhappy. He turned around and left the secret room without waiting for Jacob to say anything... dragging his injured body was already inconvenient, but this At that time, war broke out within Merlo Petersburg.

He was caught in the rear area of ​​the abyssal forces, and the surrounding space was full of restless souls. He could not go back... so he walked into the crystal cluster mine tunnel in the abandoned factory area in desperation, and fought all the way until...

Waiting for the arrival of Paimon and Lenore.

This was all he did that day and night in Merlot Petersburg.
