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

In the silent Merlo Petersburg production area, the air was still filled with the chilling atmosphere after the war. The buzzing sound of the lifting platform falling became the only sound in the ears of Yu Shui and Leosli at this moment.

In fact, all the enemies in the production area had already withdrawn at this moment. Even if the two of them rushed there, they wouldn't be able to kill any enemies, but Yu Shui thought it would be better than standing still and risking their own destruction.

"Leo, don't you think everything at this moment seems to have been secretly prepared for a long time... The cards summoned by the Seven Saints collect human information, monsters mix into the crowd and cause chaos, and now a full-scale war breaks out."

There are traces to follow every step of the way. As early as when Yu Shui first returned to Merlot Petersburg and discovered that the call of the Seven Saints was popular in the prison, he should have taken a closer look. Maybe he could have discovered the real plan of the abyss early.

The lifting platform reached the bottom, and the doors in front of it opened to both sides. Yu Shui walked out first. The once clockwork mechanism production area had completely stopped at this moment. The buzzing mechanical roar was quietly lost, and it still made people feel uncomfortable. He wasn't used to it.

Many people have died here, and there seems to be a black smoke spreading in the air... People with strong strength can always feel the lingering thoughts of those who have passed away, which are their last moments in this world. of residue.

"Huh... this reminds me of Hu Tao, the master of the Rebirth Hall in Liyue. If I have the chance, I really want to invite her to Merlot Petersburg to give salvation to these souls who have nowhere to go."

"Sounds very powerful. If you invite me, of course I'll welcome it."

Leosley responded seriously.

Wherever the two of them passed, all the traces left by the abyss monsters dissipated, and their main battlefield should no longer be here.

"Leo, tell me... what did the guy pretending to be me say that we failed to prevent? It couldn't be that we failed to prevent Katpila and the others from escaping. That's not a big deal, is it?"

"Maybe, there aren't many people in the Abyss who aren't Riddlers. I hate people who talk weird and mysterious things the most."

Seeing Yu Shui turn around and ask him, Leosli shrugged helplessly and said that he didn't know either. All his energy last night was on resisting foreign enemies and protecting the Veingelai, but Abyss actually wanted to dismantle the ship.

Fortunately, the laser cannon was set up in the factory in advance.

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the empty space, and Yu Shui began to think about whether they should go down to the next level to see the abandoned factory area, or... the sea of ​​​​fetus bursts.

The remnants of the association—according to the division of forces, we can call those forces of the abyss—the goal from the beginning to the end was to cause the breach in Merlo Petersburg's sea of ​​​​fetus to erupt, but not long ago, the breach was reversely sealed by Yu Shui with their formation. For a moment.

To break through that seal, they could only use some power other than the power of the abyss. Yu Shui thought carefully about what kind of power they could use to make the breach break... He actually thought of a person.

"Leo, you said...the power of the soul remnant and the power of the abyss are not the same power, right? Just like the demon remnant and the abyss are two completely different power systems."

There seemed to be a sudden connection in Yu Shui's head.

In that secret room in the abandoned factory area, isn't there the remaining power of the souls of many people who died unexpectedly? Listening to Chelsea and others, it can make Lessing feel uncomfortable.

Looking at each other with Leosli... they both seemed to know what the means that Abyss had been hiding.

In unison, they rushed towards the lift platform leading to the abandoned factory area.

"Hey wait?! This fucking... lift platform was destroyed by them?! Oh my god..."

Yu Shui clicked the lift switch and there was no response, and he instantly judged the situation... But as soon as Leosli caught up with him, he saw Yu Shui staring at the ground thoughtfully...

"Ok?"

"Leo, opening a hole in the ground of Merlot Petersburg won't double my sentence, right?"

"...casual, special circumstances, I promise not."

"Then I'll feel relieved~"

……

"Maybe people think that when a person dies, he is dead and can never come back, just like the eternal law of the world.

But there are always people who don't want to believe in this rule... The story I'm about to tell was written by such an idiot who doesn't want to believe in fate. "

The black-haired brother spoke softly, and the two well-behaved sisters sat beside him and listened calmly. In the world not far away, fighting was going on all the time.

Lenore raised her head and glanced at Lessing doubtfully, not understanding what he said.

"Why are people who don't want to believe in fate called idiots?"

"Because such a person is stupid, isn't he? He believes that he can do the impossible... but even if he faces the consequences of breaking up with his friends, he still does it."

"The idiot has a close friend who is terminally ill. They are good partners and relatives who cannot let go. He cannot accept that the other person is dying day by day...

So, he stuffed the consciousness and soul of his best friend into a Qiuqiu man. "

"Ah?! Can you actually put a person's consciousness into a Qiuqiu person?! Then... can he still be him?!"

Paimon's face was filled with shock. She couldn't believe that such a crazy thing could really happen. She didn't believe that the story was fiction at all. After all, Lessing's method of telling facts through stories was really bad.

"Oh, so this method failed in the end. The friend could not be saved, but the Qiuqiu people had a new human consciousness, and two tragedies were born.

He has human consciousness but is not a human being. The existence he wanted to save completely dissipated. Even the lucky Qiuqiu man will always stay at the moment of pupa, unable to truly emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly, and he has to witness the loss of his own self again. . "

"Well... then he is too pitiful, brother Lessing... Lenore doesn't like this story."

"Then what kind do you like?"

Lessing lowered his head and asked Lenore, and saw that the little girl had begun to think carefully.

"Hmm... I think that Qiuqiu man felt the warmth of humanity again because he helped a human girl, and he became a butterfly! This is a good story!!"

Paimon answered faster than Lenore. With this straightforward content, no one could guess that Lessing was talking about Catpila! So this is why Catpila is willing to help Lenore?

Paimon understood it, and so did Lenore.

"Well...it would be best if I could help Brother Carter...but what role does Brother Lessing play in this story?"

"...Maybe it's a passerby who is watching."

A somewhat hasty answer.

Lessing turned to look at the Beastland hound that was gradually attacking along the maze tunnel. He reached out and patted Lenore's shoulder to signal her to get up. Paimon also hid beside him in fear.

Sure enough, you still found it?

"Lenore, are you carrying something with you? If you keep a small gift secretly and don't tell your brother, you will be educated."

"...Yes, this is it. It was a gift from an unknown brother in Merlot Petersburg. I quite like it."

Lenore took out a small black round bead from her arms. Ever since she got this, she seemed to have started to have nightmares.

Lessing took it and looked at it carefully...and cursed Jacob in his heart for that idiot.

Even little girls design it.

Just... to force myself to follow their plan? The young man in black stood up and drew the long sword on his back.

"Run quickly...run to the end of the maze. That is the beginning of your new life. You should not live in such a chaotic world."

"Brother Lessing, you...are you still coming back to find Lenore?"

"I don't want to lie, so this is our farewell, do you understand? Ha... you probably don't understand, after all, you don't even know your mother..."

"No, Lenore knows... Lenore has actually always known that her mother will not come back, and now brother Lessing must be leaving too..."

Behind him, Paimon, with a complicated look on his face, began to tug on Lenore's sleeves to make her run away.

"Let's go Lenore!"

"Yeah! Well...brother, thank you."

In the bright crystal cluster mining area, two girls ran unarmed into the darkness and towards freedom, leaving behind a young man in black standing alone against thousands of troops.

Lessing only mentioned the reasons for what Catpila did at this moment, but did not mention himself...if he had to say it.

Lenore reminded him of his appearance when he lived in Narcissus Crossing Yard.
