A new day had dawned.
The sun rose as usual, and warm sunlight stread into Su Yuan's room.
Last night, Su Yuan had slept soundly.
Although the matter of the Eerie was still troubleso, at the very least, the prophecy crisis in Fontaine had been resolved...
Feeling the familiar sting in the palm of his right hand, Su Yuan couldn't wait to raise it and take a look:
[First of all, congratulations on surviving the seventh night.]
[Current accessible intel:]
[Skipped reread Ch 89 for rules 1-18...]
[19. Head to Liyue imdiately. Liyue needs your help... Liyue has sustained the least visible damage, yet it is also the most serious.]
The very first hint left Su Yuan puzzled.
Although his next planned destination was indeed Liyue—after all, from a certain perspective, it was his root and held a certain sense of belonging for him—this contradictory statent left him baffled.
What did it an by "least visible damage"? And why was it also described as "the most serious"?
Still, judging from Kamisato Ayato's behavior earlier and the hint now, it seed that the entire continent of Teyvat was, to varying degrees, being affected by the Eerie...
Su Yuan sincerely wished to save the world, but he couldn't help feeling like he was being stretched too thin...
Su Yuan sighed a little, then continued reading:
[20. Your mory is excellent, but sotis, mory is not reliable.]
Huh? Su Yuan was instantly confused...
His mory was excellent—what was that supposed to an?
Could it be that the flashes of imagery that occasionally surfaced in his mind were truly mories from his past?
And while it praised his mory, it also claid that mory was unreliable—wasn't that a contradiction?
Did that an... soone might have altered his mories?
With doubt lingering in his heart, Su Yuan continued reading:
[21. Important intel: Most of the Eerie's power cos from negative emotions... If you wish to free yourself from its control on your own, you must either fall into utter madness—madness so extre it surpasses what the Eerie can withstand—or achieve absolute calm and indifference, without a single trace of emotion tainted by impurities.]
Su Yuan stared in shock at this piece of critical information.
In a way, this intel explained the very chanism behind the Eerie...
Most of their power ca from negative emotions... That lined up perfectly with so of his previous experiences and theories.
The more intense the negative emotion, the stronger the individual beca after falling under the Eerie's control!
As for the two ways to break free from the control of the Eerie on your own, simply put—one requires you to be even more insane than the Eerie itself.
This was vividly demonstrated through "The Doctor," Dottore.
He was practically a textbook example—perfect in every way!
That madman Dottore was more deranged and terrifying than the Eerie, which was precisely why he couldn't be controlled by them...
As for the other thod—remaining absolutely calm and indifferent, without a single trace of emotion tainted by impurities—Su Yuan found that a little harder to grasp...
Impurities? What exactly counted as an emotion "tainted by impurities"?
He just couldn't figure it out...
Su Yuan kept reading—there was even more content!
[Special Intel: For every seven nights you survive, you will unlock a special and powerful ability... Upon eting certain conditions, the ability will automatically be revealed and activated.]
[22. After surviving the eighth night, new intel will be unlocked.]
Special... and powerful?
So it was finally here! A way to strengthen himself!
Su Yuan looked at the special intel with excitent.
Until now, his only thod of fighting back against the Eerie was exploiting loopholes in the rules—using repeated deaths and rewinds to gather intel, just barely managing to gain the upper hand...
But seriously—couldn't it just be a little clearer?!
Why are you being all cryptic again, like so kind of riddle master?
What exactly are the conditions for unlocking this ability?
And what kind of ability is it? Su Yuan honestly had no idea!
Also... why was there no intel today about the conditions under which others might beco Eerie?
Su Yuan thought for a mont.
Tartaglia had gone off with Skirk, so for now, he was off the table...
As for the others still in Fontaine—Chiori, Lynette, Freminet, and Arlecchino—their conditions for Eeriefication were still completely unknown...
And then there was Furina's situation.
Why she had beco like this—he still didn't have a clue...
Not to ntion, even ordinary people seed to have the potential to fall under the control of the Eerie.
So far, there was only that Treasure Hoarder nad Aji who had surfaced—but how many more were hiding among them in secret, masked by the Eerie?
So many unresolved problems, so many unanswered questions...
Could he really just abandon Fontaine and head straight for Liyue?
But based on the clues from the intel, Liyue needed him—urgently, even.
He was being told to go there imdiately...
"...Whatever. Sitting here thinking about it alone won't get anywhere."
Su Yuan got up from bed and stretched with a big yawn.
"Better go talk to everyone about it."
.............
When Su Yuan arrived at Neuvillette's office, he found Neuvillette speaking with Arlecchino.
"The seat of the Hydro Archon no longer exists. Among the Seven in this world, there is now no longer a place for the God of Hydro..."
"As I now stand as a complete dragon, the Gnosis of the Hydro Archon serves no purpose in my possession."
"And so, Arlecchino, as per our prior agreent, I hereby formally present the Gnosis of the Hydro Archon to you as a diplomatic gift, in gratitude for your contributions during Fontaine's prophecy crisis."
Neuvillette looked at Arlecchino, then handed her an official docunt along with a finely crafted box containing the Gnosis of the Hydro Archon.
"Then allow to thank you here and now, Lord Neuvillette," Arlecchino said with a faint smile, accepting the Gnosis.
"According to Skirk, the Gnoses were all forged from the remains of the Third Descender. They're hardly what one would call auspicious relics..."
Neuvillette turned to Arlecchino and asked:
"You Fatui... or rather, your Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya—what exactly is she collecting these things for?"
"I do not know such things," Arlecchino replied calmly.
"All I need to do is carry out Her Majesty's orders. Bringing the Gnosis of the Hydro Archon back to Snezhnaya is enough for ..."
"Oh, Su Yuan, you're here?" Furina, holding the Hydro Sli in her arms, noticed Su Yuan at the door and waved him over.
"Su Yuan, do you have any new intel for us today?"
"Su...Yuan...In...for...ma...tion..."
"In...tel..."
The Hydro Sli in Furina's arms also jiggled twice and spoke in a strange voice, clearly expectant.
Su Yuan smiled warmly at the scene.
That Hydro Sli—she had to be Focalors.
Her reactions to the world weren't just simple reflexes...
She had her own consciousness and spoke words of her own will...
"Everyone, what I'm about to tell you is crucial information about the Eerie..."
Su Yuan looked around at the others and began slowly:
"And also, I've decided—I will be leaving Fontaine for now."
"Liyue... needs !"
