Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Accompanied by a few intermittent and thin coughs, Shao Yun slowly opened his eyes.

His pale lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something but was unable to do so. In the end, he could only utter a low mutter.

"Ahem...oh, damn!"

He moved his body with difficulty and tried to sit up.

However, due to his extremely weak body, every movement seemed extremely difficult.

After some struggle, he was finally able to support his body and lean against the head of the bed.

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly felt someone was staring at him.

He followed the gaze and saw Candice sitting quietly on a chair not far away.

When she saw Shao Yun waking up, a trace of joy appeared on her face. She quickly picked up a bowl of steaming medicine from the table, walked quickly to the bedside, and said with concern: "You finally woke up! Did you know? You have been in a coma for three whole days."

As she spoke, she handed the medicine bowl in her hand to Shao Yun and advised softly: "Drink this medicine quickly, it will help your body recover."

When Shao Yun heard that he had been unconscious for such a long time, he was shocked and stunned for a moment.

He quickly calculated the time in his mind. All in all, ten days had passed since Ying and Paimon left.

But now I still look sick, and coupled with the dream I just had...

Thinking of this, he shook his head gently, then stretched out his hand and weakly pushed away the medicine bowl in front of him, sighing and saying, "This thing has no effect on me anymore."

Then, Shao Yun began to look around, hoping to see Ying and Paimeng.

An uneasy feeling gradually surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask Candice: "Where are Ying and Paimon? Where did they go?"

When Candice heard Shao Yun asking about those two people, her face instantly became solemn and she looked embarrassed. She said hesitantly, "About them... Well, I have some bad news to tell you."

When Shao Yun heard the bad news and thought about the nightmare he had just had, he felt even more irritated and uneasy.

He couldn't help but exhale a hot breath from his nose, muttering: "I haven't heard any good news, just say it straight."

Candice took a deep breath and calmed down before explaining, "During the three days you were unconscious, I received some news from Xumi City."

Without waiting for Candice to continue, Shao Yun already understood what was going on. He was the first to speak, "Let me guess. Did the operation fail? Was everyone arrested?"

Candice nodded and added calmly, "Yes, it is said that the great sage sealed the void for some reason, which directly led to the failure of Elhaisen's original plan to use the Knowledge Hidden Day to implement."

Now Shao Yun no longer had the mind to delve into the specific details of the failed plan. His mind was only concerned with one crucial issue.

"Did someone die?"

When Candice heard Shao Yun's question, her body trembled slightly.

She lowered her eyes gently, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

After a moment's silence, she nodded slowly.

"Have……"

When he heard the news that someone had died, Shao Yun's pupils contracted violently. Then he raised his right hand and smashed it hard against the wall.

"Bang!" A dull loud noise echoed in the room, and the walls seemed to tremble slightly.

Shao Yun clenched his teeth and squeezed out a word.

"Damn it, I knew I should have been tougher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly reached out to the void terminal on his ear and connected with Ying.

……

At the same time, in the confinement room of the Ordinance House, the dim light shone weakly, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.

The air here is filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Due to the failure of the previous operation, everyone was imprisoned here, and everyone's face was more or less filled with helplessness and regret.

Elhaisen, who was always calm and composed, lost interest in reading to kill time and stood aside.

Seno, who always likes to tell jokes on weekdays, is now silent, and his originally cold face looks even gloomier.

In this dim corner, Ying, dressed in a pure white dress, was like a lonely blooming flower, particularly eye-catching.

However, in this bleak environment, her beauty highlights an unspeakable loneliness.

She sat there quietly, with Paimon, who was also in a depressed mood, next to her.

Ying hugged her legs tightly. Her once bright and moving eyes now became empty and lifeless. She stared blankly ahead, her heart at a loss, not knowing how to escape from this desperate predicament.

At this moment, the void terminal worn on Ying's ear suddenly flashed a faint light.

In an instant, a familiar yet surprising voice brushed past Ying's ears like a spring breeze - it was Shao Yun!

This familiar voice made Ying's body tremble violently, and a feeling of disbelief surged in her heart. She even doubted whether she had heard it wrongly.

After a moment, Ying came back to her senses and quickly responded: "Shao Yun! How did you contact me?"

At this moment, Shao Yun, who was far away in Aru Village, clearly heard Ying's voice through the void terminal, and his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.

After a long sigh, he said, "I heard from Candice that someone died, but when I heard your voice, I was really glad that you were okay."

Then, Shao Yun asked with concern: "So, are you and Paimeng injured?"

Ying quickly turned to look at Paimeng beside her. After the two exchanged glances, she replied to the void terminal: "Paimeng and I are not injured, but... alas, we are now trapped in the confinement room of the Order Institute and cannot escape."

Knowing that they were not injured, Shao Yun felt relieved again, but soon became worried again and continued to ask: "Did you suffer any injustice or abuse in there?"

Hearing Shao Yun's question, Ying was slightly startled, then rolled her eyes, deliberately took a few deep breaths, lowered her voice, pretended to be trying hard to suppress tears, and asked cautiously, "Well... being starved for two days and two nights, can this be considered abuse?"

When Shao Yun heard that Ying and Paimeng were starved by those guys from the Educational Institute, he immediately became furious and angry.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and made a firm promise to Ying.

"I will send the Great Sage to hell. I promise."

Seeing Shao Yun being so serious, Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She shook her head gently and explained with a smile on her face: "Oh, don't be so nervous, I was just joking. I always carry a lot of ingredients for cooking when I go out."

"Although those guys from the Ministry of Education didn't send us any food, but with my inventory, we haven't been hungry at all in the past few days."

When Shao Yun learned that this was all just a farce, the expression on his face was distorted beyond recognition, as if he had just swallowed a fly.

He sighed deeply and complained helplessly, "I'm talking to you. You still have the leisure to tease me when things are like this?"

Facing Shao Yun's reproach, Ying put away her smile, replaced it with a bitter expression, and responded with a wry smile: "If I cry, won't you be worried about it?"

"So, instead of looking sad, why not joke with you and lighten up a bit."

After a short pause, Ying's face became increasingly serious, and he continued in a serious tone, "However, the current situation is indeed not optimistic. The doctor has cracked Nashida's meditation device and has now imprisoned Nashida's consciousness. We have lost Nashida's power."

At this moment, Elhaisen saw Ying using the void terminal to talk to someone.

His heart suddenly shook, and he asked, "Have you contacted Shao Yun? Didn't the Great Sage cut off the void? Could it be that it has been opened again?"

Shao Yun, who was communicating with Ying through the void terminal, also heard the familiar voice of Elhaisen and asked curiously, "Hmm? From this voice, it's Elhaisen?"

Before he finished speaking, Elhaisen took two steps at a time and walked quickly to Ying's front.

He stretched out his right hand and said to Ying: "Can you lend me your Void Terminal?"

Ying nodded, took off the void terminal on her ear, and handed it to Elhaisen.

After taking the Void Terminal, Elhaisen put it on skillfully, and then said to Shao Yun impatiently: "Hello? Shao Yun, can you hear me?"

A moment later, Shao Yun's calm response came from the void terminal.

"I can hear, I just heard Candice say, someone died?"

Al Haisen took a deep breath and replied solemnly: "Yes, Rahman and some members of the Eye of Achmar are dead."

"According to the Fatwa, Rahman died to give Dishia a chance to escape."

Upon hearing that Rahman had died, Shao Yun briefly mourned and said, "I never expected that he would die like this... To be honest, when I first met that guy, I had a good impression of him."

However, this is not the time for idle chat or mourning. Time is pressing and no delay is allowed.

Elhaisen said: "Listen to me, Mr. Shao Yun! In the current situation, you can definitely adopt this strategy..."

But before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Shao Yun.

"That's enough! Stop talking. I don't need your plans at all. I already have my own plans in mind. Now return Ying's Void Terminal to her."

Seeing Shao Yun's firm attitude and tough tone, Elhaisen knew that it was useless to say more, so he nodded silently, took off the void terminal on his ear and handed it to Ying beside him.

Ying quickly took the terminal and put it on her hand, and then her clear and anxious voice was heard.

"Hey, Shao Yun, I'm here!"

Shao Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then pretended to be calm and said slowly: "Listen carefully, Ying. I don't know whether the decision I'm going to make next is right or wrong, but no matter what, I have to do this extremely stupid thing."

"Perhaps, Xumi will be my final destination, but even so, you know? I don't feel scared at all. On the contrary, I feel indifferent."

Shao Yun's words, which sounded like his last words, made Ying's heart clench. She quickly responded, "I understand, but... can you kill as few people as possible? Before Nashida's consciousness was trapped, she told me about the conversation between you and Ms. Alice, Klee's mother."

Upon hearing what Ying said, Shao Yun's expression suddenly became nervous. He hurriedly asked, "Did you know? Heavenly Law or its lackey 'The Maintainer of Heavenly Law' might want to kill me?"

Ying listened to Shao Yun's words quietly. After a few seconds of silence, she slowly answered, "Yes, I'm really sorry. At that time, I was only thinking about being strong and trying to save Thomas, instead of going to find you with Kamisato Ayaka to discuss countermeasures."

Having said that, Ying couldn't help but sigh deeply, her tone full of regret and self-blame.

"If I had not acted impulsively at that time, but had calmly discussed the plan with you, do you think you would have been safer..."

After hearing this, Shao Yun smiled slightly, comforted Ying's heart, and said: "Oh, don't think so! Everything has two sides. Think about it in a positive way. That so-called maintainer of heaven's law took away your power. I will talk to her and let her return the power that allows you and your brother to travel through the world to you?"

Ying never expected that at such a critical moment, Shao Yun was still concerned about her affairs, which moved her deeply.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she said with a choked voice: "It has come to this, and you are still worrying about my affairs? You might end up like my brother and be sealed away, or even worse, you might even lose your life!"

However, facing Ying's worries and advice, Shao Yun did not back down at all. Instead, he continued with great anticipation: "Maybe, I will really succeed? Then, we can trick your brother out. The four of us can run away."

Upon hearing the words "fly far away", Ying couldn't help but chuckle, and there was an indescribable complex emotion in that laughter.

"You still can't forget that you want to take me, Paimon and my brother away with you."

Shao Yun bit his lips lightly, and after loosening his teeth, he said in a deep voice: "In the depths of my memory, I have been pursuing to run away all my life. Wait for my good news, I'm hanging up first..."

After saying this, he prepared to hang up the void terminal connection with Ying without hesitation.

However, just as Shao Yun was about to end the call, Ying was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Wait, don't..."
