"Doctor Baizhu, he seems to be waking up..."
In a daze, Su Yuan seed to hear soone speaking near his ear...
After a while, Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by the scent of herbal dicine...
In front of the bed, a green-haired man wearing glasses was smiling at him.
Around his neck was a white snake with red eyes...
"Young man, don’t worry. You’re no longer in any danger."
Baizhu spoke with a gentle smile:
"Though you were seriously injured, with the protection of an Adeptus, your vital essence remained unhard."
Adeptus? Su Yuan recalled the kind and elderly face he had seen just before losing consciousness—that was none other than Mada Ping!
Well, that made sense.
He and Ganyu had been talking near Yuehai Pavilion, and Mada Ping’s tea stall just happened to be nearby—so running into her wasn’t all that surprising...
"Anyway, thank you, Doctor Baizhu..." Su Yuan expressed his gratitude to Baizhu.
"Doctor Baizhu, I heard Su Yuan is recovering here with you—is that true?"
At that mont, Ganyu’s voice ca from outside the hospital room.
"Ah, it’s Sister Ganyu..." Qiqi said as she slowly walked to the door to open it.
"Su Yuan, I’m so sorry..." As soon as she stepped into the room, Ganyu began apologizing profusely.
"I can’t rember anything about what happened earlier..."
"If Mada Ping hadn’t told I was the one who hurt you, I wouldn’t have believed any of it..."
"I truly am so, so sorry, Su Yuan!" Ganyu said, and once again gave him a deep, sincere bow.
"It’s alright, Ganyu. This wasn’t your fault—it was the Eerie’s doing..."
Su Yuan waved his hand casually and smiled, then continued:
"But Ganyu, you do need to be careful. You must never let anyone ntion your childhood in front of you. If they do, there’s a high chance you’ll fall under the Eerie’s state and lose control..."
"Eerie? Influence? Control?" Baizhu showed a slightly puzzled expression and asked,
"Is it sothing like the lingering resentnt of a defeated god?"
"You could say it’s sowhat similar, but the Eerie is far more dangerous than the remnants of a god’s resentnt."
Su Yuan replied, "Now then, let explain it all in detail..."
He then began to share all the information he knew about the Eerie with everyone present.
"Su Yuan, thank you for the information. Although the Liyue Qixing’s General Affairs Office already has so understanding of the Eerie’s power, this intelligence is extrely important. I must report it to Lady Ningguang imdiately."
After hearing the details, Ganyu prepared to leave.
"I’m truly sorry, Su Yuan. Even though I hurt you, I won’t be able to stay by your side. I’ll take my leave for now..."
"And Doctor Baizhu, Qiqi—please take care of Su Yuan for ..."
"As for his dical expenses, just put them all on the account of the Liyue General Affairs Office."
After Ganyu left, Baizhu turned to the white snake coiled around him—Changsheng—and asked:
"Changsheng, do you think the Eerie’s power could be considered a kind of disease that harms the body? With our secret arts, is it possible to transfer that Eerie force from soone else onto , so that the person under its influence could return to normal?"
Changsheng imdiately showed a sowhat exasperated expression and said,
"Baizhu, I really think you shouldn’t even consider trying sothing like that..."
"No—scratch that, it’s not that you shouldn’t lightly try—you must absolutely not try it at all!"
"Su Yuan already said it himself: the Eerie’s power is no trivial matter. It’s an extrely ominous and dangerous force..."
"Even if we could extract it from soone else, once it’s transferred into your body, who knows what might happen?"
"Whether your body would be corroded and destroyed by the Eerie force, or if you’d end up being controlled by it—we don’t understand any of that."
"I will not allow you to attempt sothing so self-destructive and dangerous!"
"Alright, alright, Changsheng, don’t get mad—I was just speaking offhand. I didn’t really an to go through with it."
Baizhu gently patted Changsheng’s head and said with a smile.
Then, he looked over at Su Yuan and asked:
"Su Yuan, since you said that Eerie state always cos with certain conditions, then for the three of us here—Qiqi, Changsheng, and myself—what do you think our potential triggers might be?"
Su Yuan glanced at the talisman affixed to Qiqi’s forehead, thought for a mont, and said:
"If it’s Qiqi, perhaps if the talisman on her forehead were to be removed, it could trigger an Eerie state..."
He then turned to Baizhu and Changsheng and continued:
"As for you, Doctor Baizhu—could your condition be failing to save soone? And for Changsheng... could it be that if you were hard, he might fall into an Eerie state? After all, the two of you share a symbiotic contract..."
"But then again, these are just casual guesses based on so quick thinking..."
"These kinds of things... there’s no telling. Before an Eerie transformation happens, nothing is set in stone..."
"Who would’ve thought that just ntioning Miss Ganyu’s embarrassing childhood stories in front of her would trigger an Eerie transformation?"
Wait—speaking of Ganyu’s eerie state, Su Yuan suddenly rembered sothing...
Hadn’t Ganyu already fallen into an Eerie state earlier, and even injured him?
But based on her behavior just now, it seed like everything had returned to normal...
Normally, if it was because he had ntioned her childhood—causing her to enter that state—then she should’ve remained Eerie until she killed him for revenge, right?
However, Su Yuan quickly thought of another possibility: could Ganyu’s afternoon nap be similar to those office workers who just want a peaceful life—resetting all fatigue and stress through sleep, so none of it carries over to the next day?
In other words... could Ganyu’s nap have reset her ntal state, allowing her to return to normal?
Su Yuan thought to himself that next ti he saw Ganyu, he’d ask her about this matter.
"I see now, Su Yuan. So that’s what you were thinking," Baizhu nodded.
"I’ll be more mindful of those possibilities."
"For now, just focus on recovering. After all, both your abdon and wrist suffered significant injuries."
"If you need anything, just call for or Qiqi anyti."
"Goodbye, Su Yuan..." Qiqi said slowly, waving at him before leaving the room together with Baizhu.
"Seriously... Just like back in ropide Fortress in Fontaine—how did I end up badly injured again, saved by a benefactor again, and once more lying in a hospital room?"
Now that Su Yuan was the only one left in the hospital room, he let out a self-deprecating chuckle:
"Last ti, Neuvillette saved , and I gained the ability to control so degree of Hydro..."
"This ti, Mada Ping saved . Although I haven’t had the chance to thank her yet, maybe—just maybe—I’ve gained so ability to wield Adeptal power too?"
