"Oh? Big Brother Su Yuan, didn’t you recognize who I am?"
The little boy showed a slightly disappointed expression as he spoke:
"I thought for sure you would’ve recognized the last ti we t..."
"Even though you do look kind of familiar, I’m quite certain we haven’t t before..."
Su Yuan looked at the boy in front of him, carefully digging through his mories—yet he couldn’t match him with anyone he knew...
"That’s true—we haven’t t before. But after this, we’ll have t many tis."
The boy said this, leaving Su Yuan even more confused...
What did he an by haven’t t before, but have t many tis after?
"Well, if you really can’t rember who I am, then let’s just leave it at that..."
"But just know—we share a common enemy. I won’t harm you."
"So let give you one more hint..."
"Among the Adepti of Liyue, besides being wary of Cloud Retainer, you also have to be careful of Streetward Rambler!"
"Hey! What do you an by that?"
Su Yuan asked, "What do you an by common enemies? And why do we have to be careful of Mada Ping?"
But the little boy just smiled slightly, said nothing more, and disappeared around the corner of the alley...
Then, ti seed to resu flowing, and everything around Su Yuan returned to normal...
"Tartaglia, Zhongli, that mysterious little boy just appeared again!"
Su Yuan said anxiously:
"He seems to have the ability to stop ti, which is why you didn’t notice him!"
"What? The ability to stop ti?"
Hearing this, Tartaglia was very surprised and said:
"In a fast-changing battle, even stopping ti for 0.01 seconds is extrely critical and terrifying..."
"In a fight against a master, you might lose before you even react..."
"What an incredible power..." Zhongli also wore a serious expression and said, "But Su Yuan, this mysterious little boy you ntioned probably isn’t our enemy..."
"After all, if he truly had the ability to stop ti, it would be effortless for him to kill us without us even noticing."
"Yes." Su Yuan nodded. "That boy also said that he and I share a common enemy..."
"I’ve thought it over carefully—my enemies can only be the Eerie and Dottore. I don’t know which one he ant."
Su Yuan also noticed a detail: the boy warned him to be careful of Mada Ping, which matched the intelligence hint he had earlier on the palm of his left hand...
What exactly is wrong with Mada Ping?
"Zhongli, Tartaglia, besides Cloud Retainer, I think we should also keep an eye on Mada Ping..."
"Although Mada Ping seems perfectly normal now... there’s a saying: ’No abnormalities is the biggest abnormality.’"
"Everyone, sorry I’m late!"
At that mont, Ganyu ran over from a distance and said:
"I didn’t expect sothing so serious to happen while I was taking my afternoon nap. Fortunately, Mr. Su Yuan was here..."
"Ganyu, you’ve co back just in ti. Co with back to Yuehai Pavilion."
Ningguang said to Ganyu:
"Although Mr. Zhongli arrived promptly to help, many buildings in Liyue are still damaged, and there are quite a few casualties. You and I should hurry back to handle the aftermath."
"Yes, Lady Ningguang," Ganyu nodded.
"Guest Consultant Zhongli, Mr. Su Yuan, we’ll head back first..."
Ningguang looked at Zhongli and Su Yuan, then at Tartaglia, and said:
"Tartaglia, although you previously tried to disrupt Liyue by releasing the vortex demon god Osial, our Liyue authorities have not held you responsible..."
"But that doesn’t an I personally approve of your actions..."
"But to be fair, setting that aside, this ti you helped Liyue block the Primo Geovishap controlled by the eerie corruption, I still want to express my thanks to you..."
"Haha, Lady Ningguang, you don’t need to put on such a pedestal. I just wanted to fight with so experts and test the results of my training," Tartaglia said with a carefree smile.
.........
On Mt. Aocang, inside the cave residence of the Adeptus, Cloud Retainer...
In a large open space within the cave, Cloud Retainer was tinkering with a strange device whose purpose was unclear...
A figure hobbled over from the other side of the cave, leaning on a cane, limping with each step...
Seeing the figure, Cloud Retainer said:
"Oh, Dottore, it looks like you’ve recovered quite well—you can even get out of bed now..."
"So, what exactly did you go through these past few days? It was like you were struck by lightning—I’ve never seen you in such a miserable state before..."
"Hahaha, I’m not seriously hurt," Dottore said with a faint smile.
"It’s just that I touched so bottom lines of certain existences..."
"But precisely because of that, this kind of research becos even more aningful, doesn’t it?"
"After all, every one of my segnts is an independent individual. In the worst case, I just discard that segnt..."
"Anyway, through this research, I’ve reached a rather surprising conclusion..."
"Though not entirely certain, I at least have so clues..."
Dottore slowly spoke:
"I originally thought the eerie power was just a kind of pure material energy, similar to elental energy..."
"The actions of those corrupted and controlled by the eerie power were just derived from their original personalities..."
"But now I realize, the eerie power seems to possess self-awareness..."
"An energy that has self-consciousness — that’s incredibly fascinating!!!"
"I just don’t know whether this eerie power, scattered across the world and within each person’s body, is made up of independent individuals or a single complete whole..."
"But no matter what, the eerie power is truly a domineering force—only allowing itself to control others, but never to be controlled. How outrageous!!!"
"Eerie power... I, Dottore, will definitely conquer you completely..."
"Cloud Retainer..."
Dottore looked at Cloud Retainer and said:
"You and I are now in a close cooperative relationship, intimate partners..."
"You wouldn’t happen to reveal my location and information to others while this segnt of is in a vulnerable state, would you?"
"Don’t worry, I’m very good at talking and dealing with people..."
Cloud Retainer smiled and replied:
"I’ve already told them. Right now, I need to seclude myself to study chanical arts, so they absolutely must not co to Mt. Aocang to disturb !"
