Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Halfdan looked at Kong, Shao Yun and Kong in turn, then raised the greatsword in his hand, pointed it at the abyss machine, and shook his head slightly to express his denial.

Dainsreb looked at this member of the last palace guard of Kanria with a trace of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.

He called out Halfdan's name softly, recalling the past events in his mind.

Then, Dainsreb sighed deeply, and his eyes became firm and resolute.

He turned to look at Shao Yun, his eyes revealing an unshakable determination.

He said in a firm tone: "Sorry, Shao Yun, I have changed my mind now... Now unless I die, I will never agree to this plan to restore the country!"

After Shao Yun heard what Dainsleib said, a melancholy expression appeared on his face.

He couldn't help but complain, "Oh my God, again!"

What's up with this Halfdan? How did he appear? How did I trigger the Requiem of the Echoing Abyss?

Shao Yun felt something was wrong. Thinking back to that night, he thought that the appearance of this "Halfdan" was a bit too coincidental. This absurd drama was a bit too absurd!

Something is wrong with the deal between that jerk and that devil...

Kong looked at the black snake knight "Halfdan" in front of him, and his pupils shrank violently.

Some past events in Kanria came to his mind...

Sora's expression slowly changed, and he made a decision in an instant.

Then he said calmly to Dainsleb: "Dain, we don't have to fight anymore. I have decided to give up this plan."

Shao Yun looked at Kong's transformation. Just because he saw Halfdan transformed into a black snake knight, his attitude changed. He felt a little...

It seems that I am not qualified to judge Kong's behavior. After all, I set a bad precedent.

Kong looked at Shao Yun who was silent, with deep apology on his face, and said slowly: "I have learned a lot from you, and now I have to learn to give up some unrealistic things.

"Thank you for going crazy with me this time. I hope you won't blame me for giving up halfway."

Shao Yun shrugged indifferently and replied: "You are Ying's brother, of course I won't blame you. Besides, I am not interested in your plan to restore the country, so I can't blame you."

After all, Shao Yun really just wanted to take a look and leave.

But a series of events, and finally Dainsleib and Kong letting him decide on the Kanria restoration plan, made Shao Yun completely trapped.

Because Kong is Ying's brother, Shao Yun chose to stand on Kong's side.

Since Kong doesn't want to continue executing it, I don't care.

……

With the departure of the Black Snake Knight named Halfdan, the farce finally came to an end.

Dainsleib looked at Shao Yun, waved his hand gently, and said gently: "Shao Yun, I want to talk to you about something, is that okay?"

Shao Yun nodded and agreed.

Then, they walked together to the window of the nameless ruins hanging upside down from the ceiling.

Shao Yun took out a cigar from his pocket, handed it to Dainsleib, and asked with a smile: "Would you like one?"

Dainsleib took the cigar, examined it carefully, and then returned it to Shao Yun, politely responding, "I don't smoke, thank you for your kindness."

Seeing that he didn't smoke, Shao Yun lit a cigar, took a deep breath, and let the thick smoke spread in his mouth.

After taking a few puffs, Shao Yun broke the silence and asked first: "Before you ask me a question, I want to know when did you and Kong stop traveling?"

Shao Yun has had headaches lately and feels that some of his memories are becoming increasingly blurred, but some of them are becoming more and more apparent. This has caused him to become somewhat schizophrenic.

Deinsleib, this "living history", was undoubtedly the best person for him to deepen his impression.

Dainsleb thought Shao Yun was trying to trade questions for problems, so he simply recalled what happened back then and explained, "Well...how should I put it?"

"To put it simply, Kong met Clodal, the founder of the Abyss Cult. He thought that the Abyss might be a good opportunity to save Kanria, so we parted ways later."

After listening to this, Shao Yun couldn't help but think of the plot of the story called Kalibel.

Clodal's father used his daughter-in-law's corpse to cultivate some strange tree king holy body mushrooms.

Originally, he wanted to follow the legend of Xumi and transform himself into "Caliber", the son of the Hill Chow people, so as to obtain the "wisdom" of the god of wisdom.

However, the one who finally responded to him was not the Tree King of the first generation or the Grass God of the second generation, but the abyss.

After Shao Yun quickly recalled the plot in his mind, he just responded briefly.

"Oh……"

At this point, Dainsleb finally asked his question.

"Now it's my turn to ask, do you believe in Sora?"

Shao Yun said confidently with a matter-of-fact tone: "He is Ying's brother, my uncle. Because of this identity, when Ying is not by my side, I will trust him without reservation."

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Deinsreb further explained in detail the questions he wanted to raise.

"Hmm... Let me ask this another way. Do you really and completely believe that Sora has never betrayed Ying?"

When Shao Yun heard that Dainsleib had brought up the topic of the relationship between Ying and Kong, he immediately became alert and asked, "Can I understand your question as an attempt to sow discord?"

Dainsleibu was puzzled when he heard Shao Yun's question, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Shao Yun took a puff of his cigar, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Because of something you said before, Ying and I were separated for a short time. So now I think you are trying to sow discord between us!"

Afterwards, Shao Yun told Dainsleib in detail what happened to Inazuma.

After listening to Shao Yun's narration, Dainsleb was stunned and it took him half a minute to come back to his senses.

Dainsreb went to Inazuma once along the node of the abyss, and he also heard about the death of Baalzebub and the succession of the Eightfold Godson as the God of Thunder.

He didn't believe that the second generation Thor would die with the Fatui so easily.

He had always believed that Lei Dianying chose to completely withdraw from the world in order to further pursue eternity...

He lowered his voice and said, "You killed Baalzebub! I always thought that Baalzebub faked his death in pursuit of eternity and handed over the authority of the Seven Rulings of the Earthly World to the Eightfold Son of God."

When Dainsreb said this, he paused, and then said with some relief: "However, according to what you said, Baalzebub injured Ying, and you killed her for Ying. This is indeed in line with your usual character."

Shao Yun took a last deep puff of the cigar, then threw it casually on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

He showed an extremely dissatisfied expression on his face, and said: "It's all because of what you said at the beginning: don't take the path of rebelling and hunting the Seven Gods, which caused Ying to misunderstand my behavior!"

Dainsreb frowned slightly, remembering that he had indeed said such words to Ying, but he never expected that it would actually have such a big impact.

"I'm right. Don't trust the Seven Gods too much, and don't embark on the path of hunting the Seven Gods."

"But considering Ying's personality, after learning that you killed Baalzebub, she didn't choose to separate from you? This is a bit surprising."

Shao Yun glared at Dainsleib fiercely and said, "In fact, we were just a little bit away from breaking up."

"But fortunately, I only had one thought in my mind at that time, which was to kill Baalzebub. At the same time, I was also thinking about what Ying said to me..."

"Plus, I got some unexpected help in the end, so the Inazuma incident was barely over."

After saying this, Shao Yun's emotions seemed to be out of control, and he fell into a state of almost "blind obedience".

"We are just traveling now. If anyone dares to threaten the safety of Ying and Paimon, I will kill them without hesitation!"

"I am willing to pay any price in pursuit of a better world!"

Seeing Shao Yun's puzzled expression, Dainsleb could not help but say cautiously, "To be honest, in my eyes, your current situation is very close to my criteria for judging an 'enemy'."

After all, with Shao Yun's current state of "blind obedience", if one day Kong Tian successfully persuades Ying to join the Abyss Cult with Shao Yun, then everything will become irreversible.

Although Kong can still distinguish between "himself" and the "Abyss Cult", who knows what will happen in the future?

If one day he really becomes the will of the abyss, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After all, there is a saying that goes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you.

Shao Yun retorted angrily: "I don't want to shoot you in the head and then apologize to Ying."

"Although Ying's attitude towards you is quite good, you must not act recklessly in front of me just because you have worked with her before!"

Seeing Shao Yun's emotions fluctuating so much, Dainsleb sighed helplessly and then asked: "In short, before I leave here, I still want to ask you one more time, are you really sure that Kong did not betray Ying?"

Shao Yun said firmly: "We are a family. Even though we don't live together now, I firmly believe that Kong will never hurt Ying!"

When Deinsreb heard this answer, he replied with a very meaningful remark.

"Well, since you are so sure, I think you and Ying must prove to me in the future that you are more suitable to save Sora than I am."

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly felt a palpitation, followed by a splitting headache.

He covered his head and babbled nonsense while pretending to be calm.

"That's too far away. It's even a question whether I can live to see that time!"

After hearing Shao Yun's inexplicable words, Dainsleb asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? What do you mean by alive at that time..."

Shao Yun shook his head, blinked hard, and responded in a relaxed manner: "It's okay, just treat it as nonsense."

Dainsleb looked at Shao Yun's strange behavior and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he changed the topic.

"By the way, those thirty silver coins you showed me last time, you didn't give them to the Abyss Cult, did you?"

Shao Yun patted the Eastern Legend backpack on his waist and said, "They are still in my hands."

After hearing this, Dainsleb was obviously relieved and his tone became much more relaxed.

He continued, "That's great. I have to go now. Please tell Kong that I will continue to take action against the Abyss Cult in an hour."

Just as Deinsreb was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something else.

He turned around and said to Shao Yun: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Your 'Eye of God' seems to be stained with 'blood'?"

When Shao Yun heard this, he lowered his head and looked carefully at the red Eye of God on his waist.

There were two dried purple-black bloodstains on the eye sockets of the skull.

He waved his hand nonchalantly and replied easily, "Oh, that's okay, I can just wipe it clean."

……

After Dainsleib left, Shao Yun returned to Kong's side.

At this moment, Kong was looking up at the pool above his head that could alleviate the curse, with an indescribable expression in his eyes.

When he realized that Shao Yun had returned, he slowly withdrew his gaze and asked, "Has Dain left?"

Shao Yun gently adjusted the hat on his head and replied, "Well, he left, and Dain also said that he would not cause trouble for the Abyss Cult in the next hour."

Kong sighed freely, then patted Shao Yun's arm gently, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Alas, it seems that the fantasy of turning the people back into human beings has been shattered. I think we are a bit alike. We both gave up halfway."

"How does that saying go? If you are not from the same family, you should not enter the same door."

Shao Yun was about to say something when suddenly, an auditory hallucination sounded in his mind.

……

"Listen, let everything take its course. What is supposed to happen will always happen. No one can interfere with its course, and no one can easily change those established facts."

"Madness is in my nature. It is unique and not influenced by the outside world. It is not my fault and cannot be blamed on anyone else."

"Just live in the damn present, and when the moment comes, pull the trigger!"

……

"If you are afraid of death, don't be a desperado!!!"

……
