Hearing what Zhongli said, Su Yuan realized—this could actually be a great way to make use of Zhongli’s eerie transformation condition...
If they were ever unsure about who among them might be an insider controlled or corrupted by the eerie, all they’d need to do is have that person say sothing like, "I am not under the control of the eerie," and then sign a contract with Zhongli to confirm that what they said was true...
If that person refused to say it or wouldn’t sign the contract with Zhongli, it would be a sign they were hiding sothing...
And if they did sign the contract, and Zhongli imdiately entered an eerie state, it would an the person had lied and violated the contract...
If Zhongli’s eerie rule was used wisely, it could indeed be extrely effective...
But then Su Yuan thought again—he rembered what had happened with Charlotte...
Zhongli’s eerie state rule probably had the sa restriction as Charlotte’s: it couldn’t be used in matters directly related to the eerie...
Otherwise, it would just be too powerful...
Moreover, Zhongli’s eerie state condition only activates when he signs a contract with soone...
And a contract requires mutual consent from both parties...
Just like Clorinde’s duels—if the opponent refuses her duel challenge, then Clorinde naturally can’t unleash her eerie-powered combat abilities...
If soone refuses to sign a contract with Zhongli, then his eerie transformation rule simply can’t be used...
So, after carefully thinking it all through, Su Yuan could only admit: the idea is beautiful in theory, but harsh in reality...
Su Yuan looked at Tartaglia and Hu Tao lying on the ground, and began wondering whether he should find a way to trigger a death rewind...
One of the key reasons would be to try and save the two of them after the rewind...
Of course, there was another crucial reason—if he didn’t initiate the death rewind this ti and reset his mory...
Now that he already knew that the few pouches Kokomi gave him contained deadly poison, opening them again in the future would basically be suicide—aning this thod would no longer work...
If he ever faced a situation where triggering a death rewind was unavoidable, losing this backup plan would add more risk...
Su Yuan looked at Zhongli and thought about signing a contract with him, then deliberately breaking that contract so Zhongli would kill him...
But Su Yuan also felt uneasy...
The last ti he used the Wanderer to trigger a death rewind, he had only revealed the fact that he was a Descender and hadn’t done anything else—though it was sowhat borderline, it still didn’t count as suicide...
But if he deliberately broke a contract knowing full well that Zhongli’s Geo punishnt would kill him for it, both in intention and action, it would seem like a clear act of suicide...
It seems this thod can’t be used to trigger the death rewind after all...
Could it be that he could only watch Tartaglia and Hu Tao, these two important people, leave him, while he could do nothing?
"Qiqi, do you want to help everyone?" Baizhu asked Qiqi, who was standing nearby.
"Yes, Qiqi wants to help everyone..." Qiqi nodded, replying firmly.
"Su Yuan, we don’t have ti to keep grieving for Tartaglia and Hu Tao anymore..."
Zhongli spoke slowly:
"Now that Qiqi has joined us, our confidence in confronting Cloud Retainer at Mt. Aocang has increased significantly..."
"That’s right..."
Su Yuan nodded and said:
"Qiqi’s eerie transformation condition is relatively easy to control..."
"As long as she sets a command on herself, and can’t complete it, she will fall into an eerie state..."
"Whether it’s making Qiqi use her eerie powers to destroy the Geo Archon’s throne, or to fight against Cloud Retainer, it all seems pretty straightforward..."
"But we also can’t rely on Qiqi too much..."
"Because of her physical condition, compared to other eerie-powered fighters, Qiqi still has many limitations..."
"She needs to regularly do stretching exercises to relieve body stiffness, and among many people, her eerie combat strength might not be outstanding..."
Su Yuan sighed softly and said:
"But Zhongli, today we shouldn’t rush to confront Cloud Retainer at Mt. Aocang just yet..."
"After all, we currently know nothing about her eerie transformation conditions. The only way to fully resolve the hidden dangers and crises she causes is to kill her outright..."
"Let’s rest for now today. I’ll see if I can gather more information about her, then we can go tomorrow..."
"That sounds good..."
Hearing Su Yuan’s words, Zhongli nodded and said:
"A lot has happened today. Su Yuan, you must be tired too..."
............
Afterwards, Su Yuan returned to the Yuehai Pavilion and saw Ganyu...
"Mr. Su Yuan, what exactly is the situation over at the Bubu Pharmacy?" Ganyu asked.
"Tartaglia and Hu Tao are dead..." Su Yuan said slowly.
"And those Millelith soldiers who had been turned into zombies by Qiqi — once Qiqi recovered from her eerie state, they returned to normal as well..."
"But among them, many Millelith soldiers who were seriously injured, without Qiqi’s power to support them, also died from their wounds..."
"Sigh... Whether it was on the battlefield fighting the Geovishaps earlier or just now at the Bubu Pharmacy, I’ve seen too many lives slip away before my eyes..."
"Let’s rest for today. Tomorrow... tomorrow we will go to Mt. Aocang and confront Cloud Retainer, face to face..."
However, in the very next mont, Su Yuan felt as if ti and everything around him paused again, and then the mysterious little boy’s voice echoed:
"Big brother Su Yuan, do you really think death is the absolute end of everything?"
"Why are you here again?" Su Yuan looked at the little boy and asked.
"Nothing much, big brother Su Yuan, I just wanted to remind you..."
The little boy smiled and said:
"This is Liyue’s territory..."
"Compared to other nations in Teyvat, Liyue has so special characteristics..."
"Special characteristics? What do you an by that?" Su Yuan asked.
"If you set off imdiately, big brother Su Yuan, you can just make it to Wuwang Hill by nightfall..." the little boy said.
"Wuwang Hill? Why would I want to go to Wuwang Hill?" Su Yuan asked, sowhat puzzled.
"That place is quite eerie, with no permanent residents, and nothing much to pay attention to, right?"
"Big brother Su Yuan, do you really not understand, or are you just pretending not to?"
The little boy gave a faint smile and continued:
"Wuwang Hill is the entrance to Liyue’s ’boundary between life and death’..."
