"Darling..."
"I've found you again..."
"This ti, you've lost again..."
Sitting on the ground, Su Yuan panted heavily, staring at the "Furina" before him...
Yes, he had been found again, and just like before, it was in the final few seconds...
Su Yuan was even more certain now—"Furina" had discovered him long ago but had deliberately waited until the last mont to expose him...
She was humiliating him, toying with him!
"Darling, even though I really want to take your other eye..."
"Furina" leaned down, gently caressing Su Yuan's cheek as she spoke:
"But if I did that, you wouldn't be able to see the road clearly anymore, and then you wouldn't be able to play our little bedti hide-and-seek ga with ..."
"So, I'll let this one slide..."
"Furina" gently picked up Su Yuan's right hand, ran her long, slender tongue over the tip of his index finger, then placed the entire finger into her mouth and bit down hard!
They say the fingers are connected to the heart—Su Yuan's head suddenly rang with a loud "buzz," and an excruciating pain shot through him:
"Ah!!!"
"Darling, let's start the next round of hide-and-seek..."
Without giving Su Yuan a chance to rest, "Furina" imdiately began the countdown:
"30... 29... 28... 27..."
Su Yuan didn't dare to hesitate.
Enduring the searing pain, he got up and ran again...
"Neuvillette, do you see anything?" Wriothesley, a short distance away, clenched his fists in frustration as he asked.
"Tonight, before Furina saw Su Yuan, everything was normal," Neuvillette said slowly.
"But the mont she saw him, she was taken over by the Eerie..."
"It's obvious—the condition for Furina's Eerie transformation is encountering Su Yuan at night."
"But based on our previous experiences, the triggers for these Eerie are always connected to a person's own past and require long-term influence. They don't happen instantly..."
"Su Yuan, as an outsider to this world, first arrived in Furina's bed the mont he got here... And according to him, Furina was already under the Eerie's control at that ti..."
"So now I'm wondering—maybe the conditions for Eerie transformation aren't limited to just one..."
"And Furina's current transformation is triggered by a special condition, rather than her original one..."
"If we want to save Su Yuan, we either have to find the true cause of Furina's Eerie state and help her break free from it..."
"Or we need to get Su Yuan back to Furina's bed. Once morning cos, she will return to normal on her own..."
"But judging by Su Yuan's condition, I don't think he can hold out much longer..." Sigewinne said worriedly.
"His previous injuries hadn't even healed, and now he's lost so much blood..."
"There's another way—we fight Furina!" Wriothesley declared.
"If we can defeat her and restrain her, Su Yuan will have a chance to survive!"
"No, Duke, have you forgotten? Su Yuan has repeatedly warned us not to fight the Eerie!" Sigewinne reminded him.
"Right now, we're no match for them—you've experienced that firsthand, haven't you?"
"So what if we aren't? Are we just going to stand here and watch Su Yuan be tortured to death?" Wriothesley shot back.
"Wriothesley, I thought that after all these years, you had grown more mature and level-headed..." Neuvillette looked at him and spoke calmly.
"But now, I see you're still that sa reckless young man who used to argue with in the courtroom..."
"You—"
Wriothesley was about to retort but stopped when he saw Neuvillette looking at him with a faint smile.
"To be honest, I don't dislike this side of you."
"If it really cos down to the final mont, I will fight alongside you once again—to win Su Yuan a sliver of hope."
...
"Darling, I've found you again. This ti, I'll take your left ear..."
...
"Darling, you lost again. As punishnt, give your right thumb..."
...
"Darling, you've lost five tis in a row. This ti, give your entire left arm..."
...
At this mont, Su Yuan was covered in wounds and blood, sitting plainly in the middle of the road.
He neither hid nor ran anymore.
"Darling, why aren't you hiding?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll find you too easily like this?"
"Furina" slowly approached Su Yuan and asked.
"Hide? Why should I hide?" Su Yuan let out a bitter laugh.
"No matter how I hide, you always find anyway... I might as well use that ti to rest a little."
"Darling... you're playing passively!!!"
Furina's face suddenly twisted into sothing terrifying and grotesque.
She roared at Su Yuan:
"If you dare to play passively today... then tomorrow, you'll dare to leave behind..."
"I won't allow it... I won't allow you to do this!!!"
As she spoke, Furina opened her bloodstained mouth wide, as if ready to bite Su Yuan's head off...
Due to excessive blood loss, Su Yuan's consciousness was already beginning to fade.
He thought to himself, Maybe this is fine.
It's finally over...
Next ti, there will be a clue in my left palm, right?
Then I'll be able to prepare better and handle this more calmly...
But in the next instant, a massive water sphere suddenly ford around Furina, enveloping her completely.
"'Lady Furina'! Be careful not to catch a cold! Stay warm!!!"
Accompanied by Wriothesley's voice, cyro-elental energy gathered within his gauntlets as he struck the water sphere with full force!
Instantly, the water and ice elents reacted, freezing Furina within the sphere and turning it into a solid block of ice.
"Su Yuan! Hold on, don't fall asleep!" Sigewinne rushed to Su Yuan's side, quickly beginning ergency treatnt and bandaging his wounds.
"Why... why are you all doing this..." Su Yuan couldn't understand.
He had emphasized so many tis not to fight against the Eerie, not to get involved, yet they still ca without hesitation...
"Su Yuan, of course, we rember your words," Neuvillette said calmly.
"But no matter what, we couldn't just stand by and watch you die right in front of us without doing anything."
"Neuvillette, this water of yours seems to freeze much better than the solution from the Fontaine Research Institute!" Wriothesley said in surprise.
"How about you beco my exclusive supplier from now on?"
"Wriothesley, don't let your guard down. We've only managed to freeze 'Furina' temporarily to buy Su Yuan so ti," Neuvillette reminded him.
"What happened with Chevreuse last ti must have been an exception—after all, she has a Pyro Vision," Wriothesley reasoned.
"'Furina' is obviously a Hydro user. Breaking out of an ice seal won't be that easy!"
But the mont Wriothesley finished speaking, a crisp cracking sound echoed through the air—the sound of ice shattering...
