Su Yuan was now wondering—what exactly was the purpose and aning of his crossing into Teyvat?
Was it to defeat the Eerie, to save those controlled by the Eerie, to save Teyvat itself?
A flicker of doubt crept into Su Yuan’s mind...
He shouldn’t be considered Teyvat’s savior, so why was he always the one being saved instead?
Was he powerless without the ability to rewind death?
There was also sothing Su Yuan couldn’t figure out: since Dottore said his Eerie power couldn’t control him, then why was he still being suppressed and restrained by that power?
Could it be because Dottore’s Eerie power wasn’t the kind that ca from the heart, but rather sothing extracted from experints on himself—making its purity and strength relatively weak?
No matter how he thought about it, Su Yuan still didn’t have a clear answer to this question.
When everyone returned to the Kamisato Estate, they found that the Raiden Shogun was already waiting there.
Everyone looked at the Raiden Shogun very warily, but at this mont, she no longer carried that cold and distant aura that kept others at bay.
Her presence felt much softer...
"Don’t worry, everyone. I’m not the Shogun Puppet—I am Raiden Ei, Beelzebul. I have returned," Raiden Ei said.
"It’s still best to be cautious," Su Yuan reminded her.
"Don’t underestimate the consciousness of the Shogun Puppet. It also contains great power..."
"I will be doubly careful," Raiden Ei nodded.
"Ei, according to Su Yuan’s intelligence, Dottore may have deployed large-scale lethal biochemical weapons throughout the entirety of Inazuma. If this is true, and Dottore manages to detonate and spread them, the damage would be imasurable—potentially destroying all of Inazuma!"
Aether’s expression was serious as he spoke directly to Raiden Ei.
Faced with this information, Raiden Ei also looked sowhat surprised.
She nodded and said,
"I understand. I will imdiately order the Three Commissions of Inazuma and the Okuzushuu to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"But before returning to the Tenshukaku, I must tell you how Dottore managed to resurrect the deceased in Inazuma..."
"Ei, you don’t need to say anything—we already know all of that!" Paimon quickly interrupted.
"Su Yuan’s intelligence already covers that. He told us everything. You should hurry back to the Tenshukaku to oversee the situation and arrange the search for those biochemical weapons!"
"Su Yuan... your intelligence really is impressive...
Raiden Ei looked at Su Yuan, nodded, then sighed before transforming into a bolt of thunder and leaving.
"Su Yuan, what are your plans next?" Aether asked, looking toward him.
"I plan to go to Watatsumi Island and take a look..." Su Yuan thought for a mont before speaking:
"Right now, the whole of Inazuma is shrouded in crisis because of Dottore."
"Since Dottore possesses biochemical weapons capable of destroying all of Inazuma, and Watatsumi Island is part of Inazuma, it can’t remain unaffected."
"We must go to Watatsumi Island and inform them of this, so they can make full ergency preparations."
"Also, I want to visit the famous leader and strategist of Watatsumi Island, the current Divine Priestess Kokomi Sangonomiya, to see what this wise and resourceful person thinks about the current situation in Inazuma..."
"Yes, yes! With Kokomi’s insight and intelligence, maybe she can discover so details we haven’t noticed from a different perspective!" Paimon enthusiastically agreed, supporting Su Yuan’s decision.
"All right, then let’s not waste ti and set off imdiately!" Aether nodded and said.
............
Then, Su Yuan, Aether, and Paimon set off from the Kamisato Estate, heading southwest.
After passing through Kannazuka and Yashiori Island, they reached the shores of Watatsumi Island by the afternoon.
As soon as they stepped onto the shore, several soldiers dressed in Watatsumi Island uniforms suddenly sprang out from nearby bushes and grass, pointing their weapons at Su Yuan and the others, loudly shouting:
"Who are you people, daring to sneak onto Watatsumi Island without permission?!"
"There have been rumors for so ti that many residents of Narukami Island, suffering under the Raiden Shogun’s tyranny, want to illegally cross over to Watatsumi Island!"
"Lady Sangonomiya said that while we don’t oppose accepting refugees, it must be done through proper procedures. Illegal crossings are absolutely unacceptable, and all will be sent back to Narukami Island!"
Hearing the words of the Watatsumi Island soldiers, Su Yuan inwardly muttered weakly:
According to you, these people are already refugees fleeing for their lives — who cares about rules or procedures when it cos to escaping danger?
"Traveler, judging by those Watatsumi soldiers, they don’t seem to recognize you at all..." Paimon whispered to the Traveler.
"Maybe it’s because they’re new recruits," Aether replied.
"Ahem, looks like you still don’t understand the situation!"
Paimon cleared her throat twice, pointed at Aether, and said deliberately, word by word:
"The person standing before you now is none other than your Lady Sangonomiya Kokomi’s close friend, General Gorou’s comrade-in-arms, the famous Traveler who once helped Watatsumi Island in its hour of need!"
"And he’s also the captain of Swordfish Second Platoon!"
"What! You’re the famous Traveler, our Sangonomiya’s Swordfish Second Platoon Captain?"
The Watatsumi soldiers in front of them were visibly shocked, then quickly bowed with respect and said:
"Even so, due to the current special circumstances, please allow us to make a report first!"
Not long after, one of the Watatsumi soldiers returned with soone who appeared to be an officer.
As soon as this person saw Aether, he exclaid with excitent:
"It really is the Traveler—the captain of Swordfish Second Platoon!"
"Shibata, long ti no see!"
Aether smiled and greeted the Watatsumi officer nad Shibata:
"But Shibata, weren’t you always stationed at the entrance of Sangonomiya Shrine? Why are you out here at the coast of Watatsumi Island now?"
"Sigh, don’t even ntion it. Narukami Island is in chaos right now—many refugees are flooding into Watatsumi Island..."
"It’s not that we’re unwilling to take them in, but among these refugees, there have been many terrifying assassins hiding. They’ve caused heavy casualties among our people..."
"Terrifying assassins?" Su Yuan asked in confusion.
"Yes. Their bodies emit a dark, blood-red aura and power. They’re incredibly fast, extrely powerful, and for so reason, elental attacks don’t work on them..."
"Our Sangonomiya forces paid a heavy price to take them down..."
"Ever since then, we’ve begun carefully inspecting and strictly monitoring anyone who enters Watatsumi Island..."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan imdiately realized—these sound just like ordinary people who’ve been corrupted by Eerie power!
No wonder Watatsumi Island was being so cautious with the incoming refugees.
There was a serious reason behind it...
