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

"Hey...boy, Lessing? You're actually sleeping secretly here by yourself. The sun is already scorching your butt, and the afternoon special patrol team exercise time is coming soon!"

The afternoon sunshine in Fontaine is bright and intoxicating, even though few people in this country have time to stop and appreciate it.

Lessing likes to lie down and take a nap on this kind of sun-covered beach. It seems to make him feel like before... Of course, after joining the special patrol, such opportunities are rare.

Because they already had a lot of experience, Chelsea and Roz knew exactly where to look for Lessing. As expected, they saw this guy lying with his long sword, enjoying the beach and sunshine of Fontaine.

"Hmm... Today's afternoon exercise should be about blunderbuss. You all know that I don't like using blunderbuss. Please ask for leave for me."

"Hiss, you and your sword really love each other, and there is no room for a third party to get involved...Okay, okay, you can handle it yourself with Captain Xiavore, let's go."

Chelsea responded very cleanly, and it was not the first time anyway. Lessing, who was lying on the beach, propped himself up and looked at the two people leaving side by side.

There are actually many teammates and friends in the special patrol team, but they are the two who have the best relationship with him.

——This is one of the memory images that emerged in Lessing's mind.

According to rumors, when a person is about to die, his brain will review his life very quickly and very long in about 30 seconds, as if it is giving final rescue and support to life.

Now it seemed that this rumor was true. He wanted to tell Yu Shui about it, but he had no choice...his throat was blocked by blood and he could not speak.

……

"Really... do you want to do such an experiment? Why do you want to use everyone in the association to do such an experiment, Rene!"

In Narcissus Cross Society, in a secret room decorated like an office, Lessing stood opposite an adult man with purple hair, holding the table with both hands, questioning the other person in disbelief.

"Lessing...my good brother, I wish you could understand me better instead of coming to me and questioning me with a face full of disappointment. Carter can't hold on any longer. The only way to save him is to cross the abyss." force…"

"Even if the success rate is low, are countless innocent people still going to be sacrificed?!"

"They are just reactionary forces in the association. Even if there is no experiment, they still need to be eliminated, right?"

Lessing gritted his teeth and faced Rene who was sitting peacefully in front of him. He couldn't imagine what the world had turned into his once gentle and knowledgeable brother Rene.

For a long time, he trembled his lips.

"If...if I am also a reactionary, do you also want to use me for human experiments?"

"How could it be? You are a member of a special society and our friend and relative. There is no way I can take you... Lessing?"

Lessing did not listen to what he said, turned around and left the secret room... At that time, no one could imagine what he would do next.

When Rene and Jacob found Lessing, he had already injected himself with the drug developed by Rene that could transform humans into abyssal creatures.

The unprecedented pain caused him to break out in cold sweat and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, but he felt as if someone was holding him in his arms as he fell to the ground, whispering comfort to him.

"Don't be afraid...it will be fine. Try to control these powers. Don't be afraid, Lessing...my brother will be with you..."

"…Um."

The result of the matter is already obvious. Lessing became the second human being to successfully transform into an abyssal creature after Jacob... This in turn strengthened Rene's determination to save Carter.

It also led to Carter's death and... Rene's break with Alain and Marianne, which was a tragedy... a tragedy in which Lessing participated.

I don’t know how long it took after that…

"...Is he the existence you created by integrating Carter's consciousness into the Qiuqiu people?"

Lessing looked at the new student Caterpillar in front of him with disgust. He looked displeased and turned to Rene for confirmation, and received a positive answer.

This Qiuqiu man got the title of "The Chrysalis of the Phantom Butterfly Moth", and Rene looked forward to the day when he would emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly...

"Oh, it's better to believe that he will emerge from his cocoon and become a butterfly than to believe that I will save the world, haha."

"Lessing~ Don't be so decisive. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Maybe you will really save the world."

Those conversations in his memory have long gone. The life five hundred years ago is only a small part of his life, but it is also a part that cannot be forgotten.

Lessing always seemed to be losing something, but he never cared about it until he even lost his brother Rene.

..."Jacob! Tell me the truth, who is Brother Rene in the association now? He is fake, right?!"

"Calm down! Rene... he dissolved himself in the fetal sea and is dead. This is his consciousness that I copied."

"...Copied? You deleted all the memories of his failures, didn't you? This is definitely a mistake."

"Maybe, but I have no other choice."

It seems that it was that day that Lessing left the Narcissus Cross Society and embarked on his hundred-year wandering journey... He only took the Narcissus Cross Holy Sword that he took away from the society and wrapped it in white cloth to avoid being recognized. .

Through the vicissitudes of life, I gradually lost myself in confusion in my understanding of myself and the world. After experiencing wear and tear... I regained new life.

Until... falling again.

Lessing could already feel that his body was falling...but the process of falling was slowed down countless times.

Yes, he has been popular for more than five hundred years. There are so many things that need to be recalled, and it will indeed be very slow for the senses...

But the second before he landed completely, what he recalled was not the life in the association, not the childhood in the Cross Yard, but the scene he witnessed at the Opiklei Opera House in Irie Island three years ago. A trial.

A man who has been wronged is willing to stand on the trial stand and fight to the death with agent Clolind for the person he protects.

A thief who was cruel and ruthless outside and had a lot of crimes actually stopped quietly in the middle of the night to mourn for his deceased relatives. The warmth of the world was enough to awaken his humanity again.

The world is so beautiful, Lessing feels that it is not a good thing to be so confused. Why not... try to integrate into this era?

Moreover, he also remembered what Brother Rene said to him, half jokingly and half seriously...

"Maybe you can actually save the world?"

"Uh…"

The sound of falling to the ground echoed in his mind, deafening... but he seemed to be unable to hear other sounds.

The coldness spread from the once majestic beating heart to the whole body... That was what he hoped for and requested... There shouldn't be any feeling of regret, right?

The power is passing by, integrating into another body, helping him break through the boundaries from scratch... The imperfect soul is being gradually repaired.

"So, I can be considered...saving the world."

The faint sound of mosquitoes and flies fell slightly on Yu Shui's ears.

"Ah."

The brief response allowed the 500-year-old mourner to show his last smile.

This time, it was time for him to mourn for himself.
