Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun swallowed nervously. He felt his heart beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

He stared at the man in the top hat in front of him, his hands tightly gripping the pistol, sweat dripping down his forehead.

"He's going to die, there's no need for me to kill a dead man!"

Shao Yun's voice was trembling, but his tone was extremely firm.

The man in the tall hat put his hands behind his back, his face expressionless, as if he were a cold stone.

"What should I call you now? Arthur? John? Or Jack?"

Shao Yun pursed his lips, trying to make his voice sound calmer.

"A name is just a code name. I can make up tens of thousands of names if I want."

The man in the flattering hat didn't seem to be shaken by Shao Yun's answer. He began to slowly approach Shao Yun, taking each step calmly and unhurriedly.

"You don't have to be nervous. I mean no harm."

Its voice is calm and deep, like an old friend.

Although Shao Yun tried to remain calm, the gun in his hand began to tremble involuntarily. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more resolute.

"You devil, you can't possibly be wishing me a happy new year!"

The man in the tall hat finally stopped about one meter away from Shao Yun. He looked at Shao Yun with a smile and said, "I will call you by your current name. Hello, Mr. Shao Yun."

Shao Yun's eyes were full of vigilance and confusion. He stared closely at the man in the top hat in front of him, as if trying to catch something from every subtle expression of the other party.

But the only discovery was that he could not close his eyes at the same time. He always blinked his right eye first and then his left eye. Although the interval was very short, Shao Yun still discovered it.

"You devil! What are you doing here?"

Shao Yun's voice was low and powerful, as if he wanted to suppress the possible threat from the other party through the firmness in his tone.

The tall hat man didn't seem to care about Shao Yun's attitude. He looked around as if he was just admiring the scenery. He raised his chin slightly and said calmly, "I was just admiring the scenery. I just happened to pass by."

Its tone was relaxed and natural, as if it was really just explaining why it was there.

However, Shao Yun was not fooled by the flattering man's words. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person closely, as if he wanted to see through the other person's heart.

"We all know each other, no need to pretend!"

There was an unquestionable firmness in Shao Yun's voice, as if he had seen through the disguise of the man in the flattering hat, but lies are the devil's specialty, and Shao Yun was still too naive.

After hearing Shao Yun's words, the man in the flattering hat shook his head, with a hint of provocation and mockery in his tone.

"Then do you know my name?"

Shao Yun was a little stunned by this question. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes and he spoke tentatively.

"Satan? Duma? Azazel? Baphomet..."

His voice was trembling, and he was obviously thrown off balance by the flattering man's sudden question.

"Don't be nervous. Like you said, the name is just a code name. There's no need to delve into it."

The man in the tall hat did not continue to ask questions. He then took a look at the revolver in Shao Yun's hand and said lightly: "Your gun is dirty."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if saying that Shao Yun couldn't even take care of his own weapon.

Shao Yun looked down at the revolver in his hand. The golden appearance was shining, and it was obviously not dirty. Then he glared at the man in the tall hat.

"My things are none of your business!"

The man in the tall hat stretched out his hand gently, with graceful and calm movements, and easily took the gun from Shao Yun's hand.

Then it took out a white wool towel and wiped the gun carefully. Every movement seemed so serious and focused.

As he wiped it, he said, "If you swear on a weapon but don't take good care of it, isn't that just trying to break your oath?"

Its voice is low and magnetic, as if every word contains deep meaning.

Shao Yun felt a little frightened by what the man in the flattering hat said.

But he quickly reacted, pulled out another revolver and pointed it at the man in the top hat.

"Give me back my gun!"

However, the man in the tall hat didn't seem to care about his actions. He just glanced at Shao Yun indifferently and continued to wipe the gun in his hand.

"Let me help you wipe the other one too," it said kindly.

Then, without waiting for Shao Yun's consent, he took away the other gun.

Use the same method, wiping it carefully, as if you were treating a precious work of art.

Finally, he returned both guns to Shao Yun and said with a smile: "I have no ill intentions, I just enjoy the scenery."

There seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in his smile, which was hard to fathom.

Shao Yun looked at the two guns in his hands that had been wiped clean and looked brand new, and a mixture of resentment and anger filled his heart.

John has learned from a bloody lesson that shooting it will not kill it, and after a while, the bullet will kill himself.

There was no point in resisting, so he holstered his gun, took a deep breath, and tried to sound calm.

"what on earth do you want?"

The man in the tall hat slowly walked around Shao Yun. His eyes were sharp and deep, as if he could see through Shao Yun's skin and into the depths of his soul.

It looked Shao Yun up and down, as if looking for something, or evaluating something.

Finally, it stopped and looked directly into Shao Yun's eyes, with a hint of curiosity and doubt in its tone.

"I'm just curious as to why you started killing people again."

After listening to this, Shao Yun frowned, and a hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"I don't understand you."

The man in the top hat sighed softly, with a look of compassion on his face, and said slowly: "No matter what you did in the past, you came into this world, just like a baby is born into the world, you should become innocent. But why do you want to be stained with blood?"

Shao Yun's heart was beating as he listened to his words. He gritted his teeth and retorted, "If I don't kill people, others will kill me."

After hearing this, the man in the flattering hat nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with Shao Yun's answer.

"You have a point. Death will eventually find everyone. It's just a matter of time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew past, and Shao Yun shivered involuntarily.

The man in the tall hat looked at Shao Yun with some hesitation, and took this opportunity to stretch out his hand, slowly approaching the skull-shaped red Eye of God hanging on his waist.

Shao Yun quickly took a step back, frowned, pointed at its nose and warned it.

"Stop touching my stuff!"

The man in the tall hat did not back down after hearing Shao Yun's warning. He slowly withdrew his hand and continued to ask with an expressionless face.

"You've met a girl you like and have come to the paradise on earth you've always dreamed of. Why don't you use your money to buy yourself a stable life?"

Shao Yun sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"She's looking for blood relatives, and I'm alone, so what's wrong with traveling together?"

The man in the flattering hat didn't seem surprised by Shao Yun's answer, and he continued to persuade him.

"You are so strange. You met her by chance, but you are willing to sacrifice your life for her and find her blood relatives. However, you dream of living a stable life. Why don't you be selfish and deceive her, let her give up looking for her blood relatives, hide with you somewhere, and start a ranch?"

Shao Yun's eyes flashed with hesitation when he heard this. He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "Don't bewitch me, you are not qualified to judge my behavior!"

The man in the tall hat seemed to see through Shao Yun's inner struggle. He gently helped Shao Yun adjust his hat and patted the dust off his shoulders. His voice was full of understanding and temptation.

"I understand. You won't do this. Even if you can't find any reason and the truth becomes a lie, you will persist. Loyalty is your salvation and your curse."

The tall hat man paused, put his mouth close to Shao Yun's ear and continued: "You transferred your loyalty from that man to that girl, because a lost lamb needs a shepherd."

Shao Yun shook his head, pushed the tall hat man away, and said in defense: "You are wrong, I am not those three sharpshooters, my name is Shao Yun, I come from..."

When Shao Yun said this, he seemed to have lost something in his mind and couldn't say the words.

The man in the tall hat stretched out his finger and tapped Shao Yun's chest, and asked, "You only remember your name, do you remember who you were before?"

Shao Yun covered his head and said in fear: "I..."

The man in the top hat continued to seduce, "You have the memory of that girl's future experience in your mind, as well as the memory of the three sharpshooters, but why is it that you have no memory of yourself?"

Having said that, the man in the tall hat reached out his hand to the Eye of God on Shao Yun's waist again.

"If you are really yourself, why would you believe what 'someone' said? Do you really think you are acting?"

Shao Yun's eyes widened, feeling a fear he had never felt before. He quickly took several steps back, distanced himself from the man in the tall hat, and pointed at his face.

"You devil from hell! Demon! You are tempting me! Shut up!"

The man in the tall hat walked forward nonchalantly and continued to seduce, "Admit it, you are the incarnation of those two criminals and the innocent man!"

Shao Yun's blood was boiling at this moment, and he was burning with anger. His chest was like a volcano about to erupt, spewing out flames of anger.

He suddenly pulled out his cowboy revolver and pointed it at the man in the top hat. The muzzle of the gun revealed a strong killing intent.

Shao Yun gnashed his teeth and cursed word by word: "Go to hell!"

However, the man in the top hat remained unusually calm in the face of this sudden threat.

He actually turned his back and no longer looked at Shao Yun, his tone revealing a deep helplessness and sadness.

"Yeah, we're all going to die."

Although his voice was plain, it was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Shao Yun's heart.

Shao Yun's finger was almost about to pull the trigger, but at that moment, he suddenly thought of John's fate. He shot the "one-shot guy" three times in the back, killing himself, and his wife.

Shao Yun's heart trembled suddenly, and he said with sudden enlightenment: "I understand, you want me to shoot and then let me kill myself, no way!"

Although his voice was filled with anger, it was more resolute and firm.

The man in the tall hat still had his back to Shao Yun, and his voice echoed in the wilderness.

"You've become smarter."

Although there are only a few simple words, they reveal a deep appreciation and recognition.

Shao Yun took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. He turned and walked towards his horse.

I can't talk to the devil anymore, otherwise even justice won't be able to save me.

"I don't want to hear any more, I'm leaving!"

Shao Yun was just about to jump onto the horse when suddenly, he heard the cold voice of the man in the tall hat.

"That girl's name is Ying, right?"

Shao Yun turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of fear, and stared at the man in the tall hat.

He swallowed and asked in a trembling voice: "You...what do you mean?"

The tall hat man had a blank expression on his face, as if he was looking at an insignificant existence, and said lightly: "I also know a couple, Goodwin and Gloria. And you, Shao Yun, you and Ying, seem to be this couple."

Shao Yun's heart tightened, he knew that the flattering man's words were not groundless.

He snorted coldly, trying to hide his inner panic, and said: "You want to kill those two? Go ahead, as long as it has nothing to do with Ying, you can kill whoever you want!"

The tall hat man suddenly changed the subject, raised a tiny arc at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Let's play a game."

Shao Yun was stunned, his brows furrowed, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart. He said resistingly: "I'm not in the mood to play games."

However, the man in the top hat didn't seem to care about Shao Yun's refusal. He pulled out a deck of cards from his pocket. (Texas Hold'em doesn't have jokers.)

He slowly walked in front of Shao Yun, with a provocative smile on his face, and said, "It's just a game of drawing poker cards and comparing the size."

Shao Yun stared at the poker cards in the man's hand with wide eyes, feeling even more uneasy. He refused, "I don't play games with the devil."

The man in the top hat chuckled and said in a calm but threatening tone: "Goodwin will die, and he will die miserably!"

Shao Yun's heart tightened, but he tried to remain calm and said with disdain: "He's dead, what does it have to do with me?"

The man in the tall hat shook his head slightly, as if he was disappointed with Shao Yun's indifference. He shook the poker cards in his hand and said lightly: "I said that you and Ying are very similar to Goodwin and Gloria. Their fates were determined by poker cards, and you, Shao Yun, will also have your fate determined by this deck of poker cards."

Shao Yun narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in the tall hat, trying to read something from his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Are you threatening me?"

The man in the top hat didn't answer. He just stood there quietly, nodded, and said, "Draw one."

Shao Yun hesitated for a moment, feeling very nervous. Playing games with the devil?

After a stalemate, Shao Yun finally reached out and took a card from the poker in the man in the tall hat.

He turned over the cards nervously, then laughed, with a hint of relief and relief in his tone.

"King of Diamonds."

The tall hat man looked at the poker cards in Shao Yun's hand and nodded, seemingly not surprised by the result. He said calmly, "Well, go ahead."

Shao Yun was stunned after hearing this and said angrily: "What do you mean! You haven't smoked yet!"

However, the man in the tall hat didn't seem to care about Shao Yun's anger. He put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked away, saying as he walked, "You win, Goodwin will be safe."

Shao Yun climbed onto the horse and looked at the tall-hatted man's back. He couldn't help but shout, "You devil!"

The man in the top hat waved his hand without looking back. He just said, "I'm going to continue to enjoy the scenery. I won't see you off."

Shao Yun rode his horse and quickly left the treasure-stealing group's camp.

The man in the top hat looked like a lonely sculpture, gazing at the starry sky. Everything around him fell into a deep sleep, with only the breeze blowing gently, blowing the corners of his clothes and the brim of his hat.

He stood there quietly, admiring this unique night view as if he was watching a movie.

Suddenly, a gust of green wind blew, breaking the thoughts of the man in the tall hat.

The wind brings a hint of coolness and an indescribable sense of mystery.

The man in the top hat narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling this sudden change.

"Looks like I'm going to make a new friend today."
