Genshin Impact: After entering the card pool, I kicked away the knife and stabbed myself

"I am a weapon created by Seinosuke. My mission and that of the Onmyoji Ryo is to constantly create battles, to hone myself and others."

"But this secret realm is useless now. No one will come here except you... What value does a weapon abandoned by its owner have..."

[Don’t Tartaglia and Michiyo need you?]

[To train others and yourself, isn't this very suitable for training soldiers? This is so important to Inazuma. I feel that "Shiki Taisho" is a bit too picky.]

Paimon looked at the distraught General Shiki and said pitifully, "He looks so sad..."

Just as Michiyo was about to say something, she was interrupted by Tartaglia's hearty laughter.

"A weapon abandoned by its master...haha."

Tartaglia even laughed out loud, but everyone could tell he meant no harm: "There's nothing wrong with being a weapon, right? Everyone who sinks in battle craves for their own meaning and value."

General Shiki still didn't understand Tartaglia's concept, so he asked the young master, trying to find an answer: "Is that so..."

"Aren't you curious about my secret? Why can I persist in resisting the rejection of the secret realm? Why can I calmly face the extremely complex battle situation?" Tartaglia smiled slightly, and that smile revealed an indescribable firmness and confidence. He said with a firm look in his eyes: "I just fought in the gaps of the 'roots'. There are endless dangers there, and it is a life-threatening danger... But it is these dangers and dangers, like the rain and sunshine that nourish life, that allow me to grow faster and become stronger faster."

"I don't want victory, but polishing. All I want is to make myself sharper and more formidable. I am a weapon just like you. It's just that you were made by Seinosuke himself, while I am the product of fate. But no matter what, we both have the same mission - to shine in battle until the last moment."

General Shiki seemed to have found some hope, and a light began to flicker in his eyes: "If so... where will the battle you are pursuing end?"

"Only those who long for the end will look for the end. As for me, I have never thought about ending it all." Tartaglia pointed to his heart, where a heart that never gives up beats: "I was born to fight. As long as I am alive, the end will not come. Every step of the path I choose is a transcendence of myself, and every step is a challenge to the limit."

"Let go of those useless confusions. You can't become a ruthless weapon with sorrow and hesitation.

"General Shiki": "What should I do to give it up?" There was some confusion and struggle in its voice.

Miyu Chiyo finally found an opportunity to interrupt the topic: "'Shiki Taisho', this secret realm is not useless! It's just that people didn't know about its existence before. Let me tell the people of Inazuma that there will definitely be people who are as eager to fight and want to become stronger as I am! They all need you! Your existence is the source of their strength."

The paper figurine of Shiki Taisho showed a tangled look on its face: "I think you are right, but I still feel something is wrong. This may be related to the memory I need in the end... That memory seems to be the key to my finding myself again."

[This is too stubborn. Is every Inazuma like this? Even the shikigami are like this.]

[The dilemma of "Shiki Taisho" is probably related to Korekami Harunosuke]

"Go ahead, everyone! I want to... no, I want to find the last rubbing and regain control of this secret place."

Walking through the heavy and simple door and entering the last room, an atmosphere of time-honored wisdom and endless wisdom came over him. General Shiki's eyes were instantly drawn to the simple desk in the center of the room.

There, a glimmering rubbing lay quietly, as if waiting for its destined owner. As General Shiki approached, the rubbing seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly rising from the sky above the desk, spinning gracefully, and finally slowly merging into General Shiki's body. At this moment, not only did the rubbing return to its place, but it also brought together the fragments of General Shiki's memory, and it was about to restore its most complete and true self.

However, this experience was completely different from any previous battle. Looking around, this last room was not arranged as a gloomy training ground, but instead revealed a peaceful and elegant atmosphere. The ancient books neatly arranged on the bookshelf and the pens, inkstones, and inkstones scattered on the table all indicated that this was once the study of Yukami Harunosuke, a space full of wisdom and inspiration.

But even in such a place that should be far away from the noise of fighting, it has become unpeaceful due to the invasion of outsiders.

Just as General Shiki was immersed in the process of recovering his memory, everyone became alert because they felt a strong vibration coming from behind. Looking back, they saw a large group of monsters rushing towards them like a tide, with madness flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to devour everything in the study.

But everyone knew that they couldn't let these monsters disturb General Shiki, so they walked out of the room and picked up weapons to stop the monsters from entering the study.

Finally, when General Shiki completely mastered the secret realm, the rampaging monsters seemed to sense some irresistible force and stopped, and then, under the gaze of everyone, they turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air. General Shiki finally found his true mission and destination, as well as the truth that he was entangled with.

The "General" gradually sank into the past memories. It saw three soldiers in the same room in the past, wearing shogunate armor, with their heads bowed and faces solemn. They knelt on one knee and expressed their deepest respect to an old man with silver hair and a weathered face, Korekami Harunosuke. The leader of the three soldiers reported with a trembling voice:

"Lord Korekami, 60% of the warriors in training have been injured. The loss of shikigami is also far beyond expectations, and... the situation outside has stabilized."

The soldier's words revealed an indescribable complex emotion. He looked up carefully, his eyes full of concern and worry, trying to catch a trace of emotional fluctuations from the seemingly calm face of Korekami Harunosuke.

However, Korekami Harunosuke's face was still calm, as if he had already let everything go, but hidden under that calmness was endless bitterness and loss. The soldier sighed inwardly, knowing that it was just a disguise made by Lord Korekami to maintain his inner pride and dignity.

The secret realm that Korekami Harunosuke spent his entire life creating and the soldiers who had been trained through experience were originally meant to respond to crises and protect the peace of Inazuma. However, now that the war ended abruptly, they had not played their due role and had become useless.

The soldier felt mixed emotions. He understood that Lord Weishen's inner pain and despair were much greater than his own, as he had only trained but had lost the chance to make merit before even going on the battlefield to kill the enemy. It was also much deeper than Lord Weishen's own apparent calmness.

But the soldier knew that he must not show any weakness or doubt at this moment. That would not only be an insult to Lord Weishen's past efforts, but also a denial of the hard work and training that he and his companions had put in in the past. So, he took a deep breath and asked in a more tactful way:

"Do we still need to pursue the ultimate in martial arts?"

Korekami Harunosuke shook his head slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue and relief in his voice: "Why should you be so anxious? I expected this a long time ago."

The "Shiki Taisho" of the past seemed to be able to penetrate the mist of time and clearly see the inner struggle and confusion of Korekami Harunosuke. It knew that Korekami Harunosuke originally wanted to protect Inazuma because of his deep love and commitment to Kitsunasaigumi.

Now, the situation in Inazuma has stabilized, and even the soldiers he spent his life training have not had a chance to play, but everything has been settled. For Korekami Harunosuke, this is both a relief and a deep regret.

"Shiki Taisho" has been with Korekami Harunosuke for so many years, it knows what Korekami Harunosuke is thinking now. Now Korekami Harunosuke... has the intention to die.

The last wish of Kitsusai-gū - to protect Inazuma - has been fulfilled, and the last reason for Korekami Harunosuke's existence has disappeared.

Shiki Taisho couldn't bear to see Korekami Harunosuke leave like this, so he floated in front of Korekami Harunosuke and advised him, "Harunosuke, please forgive me for being blunt, but she can't come back."

[The fox is merciful everywhere]

【What a sinful woman】

As expected by General Shiki, Korekami Harunosuke smiled bitterly and said slowly, "I just want to help her descendants and guard this territory."

"Now the target of killing no longer exists. The person who needs to be protected has found peace. I am afraid that our mission has come to an end."

The scene changed, and Korekami Harunosuke looked at the "Shiki Taisho" and the cherry tree behind it, and said solemnly: "I have always believed that if time permits, I can guard here for life... This rhetoric almost deceived me."

Korekami Harunosuke forced a smile, which showed both relief and helplessness: "You can't be like me."

[Inazuma's version of Abe Haruaki is so miserable]

[A person who is pushed forward by the past, alas]

[If Luo wasn't here, Inazuma's life would be full of tragedy and regret]

Shiki patted his chest and assured solemnly: "Don't worry, Harunosuke, I understand. Everything you did for Inazuma should not be given meaning by others. The same goes for my existence."

Korekami Harunosuke sighed, and the smile on his face was finally no longer stiff, but sincere and warm. He said: "It was indeed the right decision to devote my spirituality to you so that you can understand people's emotions."

"In the end, it was you who enlightened me..."

[Respect his contribution]

【The life of Harunosuke Kamijou should not be judged by others】

[I don’t ask for perfection, but I just want to have a clear conscience]

After saying that, Korekami Harunosuke gently threw the pipe in his hand. The pipe was a replica of Kitsune-sai-gū's relic (the real one was in Asase Hibiki's house, and this one was made by Harunosuke himself because Kitsune-sai-gū liked to smoke). At this moment, it emitted a soft light in the air, as if carrying endless memories and emotions. Several rubbings of "Shiki Taisho" swirled around the pipe, emitting brilliant light, as if they were bidding farewell to Korekami Harunosuke, or to something else.

"'In the morning there are beautiful women boasting about their lives, but in the evening they become bones and rot in the countryside'. This is so true."

Korekami Harunosuke chanted this poem in a low voice, and his body began to emit a faint golden light. He looked deeply at General Shiki, his eyes full of gratitude and reluctance:

"From now on, I have nothing to worry about. My friend, General Shi, you have completed your mission very well. As for me, it is time to set off again to continue searching for the unknown new meaning."

As he finished speaking, golden spots of light appeared around Korekami Harunosuke. His body became blurry as the golden spots of light dissipated and he completely disappeared into the air.

[Is this a metamorphosis? ? ]

[Go take a rest (something Inazuma version of the Emperor's treasure merchant]]

[No, this is you completing your mission well, now I am going to rest]

[I'm afraid she went to Sky Island like Vanessa]

【If Seinosuke is brave enough, he might become the second Otto（】

And "Shiki Taisho" returned from that deep memory. It looked at the familiar scenery in front of it, and complicated emotions surged in its heart. It said softly: "Harunosuke, have a safe journey."

And everyone has ended the battle - not because they killed all the monsters, but because they were all controlled and retreated due to the return of "General Shiki".

"I remember everything now. It's not that Seinosuke abandoned me, but... in that long and tortuous journey of my heart, I persuaded him a little, walked hand in hand with him, and walked out of that deep and complicated inner maze together."

"For me and Juelü Onmyoji, Seinosuke always has deep blessings and expectations in his heart. However, if I must say something, it may be that we were born at the wrong time. The torrent of the times swept us into it, and we gave an answer sheet that did not get any points."

"Day after day, year after year, the warriors have been training with all their might. Their sweat and tears have intertwined to forge an indomitable will. Although this training has been proven to be effective to a certain extent, the power of mortals ultimately has an insurmountable limit. Compared to the gods, the progress we have made is too slow, too slow..."

"Just when we were immersed in asceticism, trying to change our fate with our own strength, the god who wielded the 'Thoughtless Blade' led other diligent and powerful warriors to eliminate all the hidden dangers buried in this land."
