Right now, Su Yuan’s heart was filled with unease and doubt...
If it really was the little boy who had controlled his left hand at that ti and deliberately took out the hidden pouch from his body...
Then how did he know what was inside the pouch?
Could it be that the pouches Kokomi gave him, and even her urging him to leave Inazuma—were all guided by him from behind the scenes?
Was everything part of his plan?
But Su Yuan didn’t have the ti to think about all that now—the battle with "Yelan" was on the verge of breaking out...
Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Even if the little boy could control his body and resist being frozen by the suppression of the eerie power...
When it ca to pure combat skill, could a child like him really be a match for soone like "Yelan," a top elite agent of Liyue?
"Big brother Su Yuan, although your body is indeed like a vast ocean—very receptive and adaptable—controlling it feels just like moving my own..."
Just then, the little boy’s voice suddenly echoed in Su Yuan’s mind:
"But in the end, I’m just a pitiful, weak, and helpless little child... How could I possibly be a match for big sister Yelan..."
"What’s more, she’s currently under the control of eerie force—her physical abilities have been greatly enhanced..."
"So earlier, I was just bluffing. What we really need to do is find a chance to escape from here..."
Hearing this, Su Yuan felt a little speechless...
Alright, so you were bluffing the whole ti.
I really thought you could go head-to-head with the eerie power...
But still, the previous rule-based intel had already clearly stated that eerie powers are hard to face head-on—you have to use eerie against eerie.
"But wait, if we were just going to run, why didn’t we sneak away quietly earlier? Why bother launching that fake attack on Yelan? Didn’t that just attract even more of her attention?" Su Yuan asked in confusion in his mind.
"Big brother Su Yuan, think about it! If we had just run away outright, big sister Yelan would definitely have assud we were completely powerless..."
The little boy explained, "If that happened, she wouldn’t hold back at all when attacking, and it would beco truly difficult for us to escape..."
"But if we bluff a bit, and add the fact that we can still move under the suppression of her eerie power—even if she still acts arrogant outwardly—she’ll definitely beco more cautious inside..."
"Only by exploiting that sliver of hesitation in her heart do we have a chance to escape from her grasp..."
Su Yuan nodded to himself in his mind, more or less understanding what the boy ant...
It was just like a battle between masters—no one reveals their full strength right away.
They often start with ordinary moves to test the waters...
Even when chasing an opponent, they wouldn’t pursue too closely or too recklessly, in case the enemy was lying in wait at so corner...
But... even if Yelan was just making a probing attack without using her full strength, could the little boy and his body really withstand even that?
The next mont, Yelan manipulated her Life Threads—an icy flash streaked through the air.
Although the little boy, controlling Su Yuan’s body, seed to sense and react to sothing... he was still a step too late—
Su Yuan’s legs were instantly severed at the ankles!!!
"The one controlling Su Yuan’s body... you can’t even react to such a simple strike from —where exactly does your confidence co from, thinking you can be my opponent?"
"Yelan" spoke with calm coldness:
"I’ve sliced through your legs with my threads—let’s see how you plan to escape now."
"...I was still too careless, underestimated her a little..."
The little boy spoke in Su Yuan’s mind, his tone serious and helpless:
"Yelan’s strength after being corrupted by the Eerie power... it’s far beyond what I imagined. We’re not even on the sa level..."
"Big brother Su Yuan, looks like... this is as far as we go for now..."
As he spoke, the little boy returned control of the body to Su Yuan.
"Soone like you, Big brother Su Yuan, surely wouldn’t be willing to die just like this, right?"
"Then let us et again... on the edge between life and death!"
Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.
He had thought the little boy would pull off so astonishing, world-shaking move to resolve this crisis — but in the end, from his perspective, it was all just reckless nonsense, and now he was once again facing death at "Yelan’s" hands...
"Oh? Su Yuan, you’re back now, huh..."
"Yelan" looked at him, sensing the shift in aura on his body, and smiled as she spoke:
"I’ve heard all about your exploits in Fontaine — they say you’re full of countless secrets and trump cards..."
"Now that I see it for myself, it’s true after all..."
"But what a sha. Your intel failed to predict my arrival, and that mistake has cost you dearly..."
"The greatest intelligence agent in this world... is still !"
As she spoke, "Yelan" manipulated the Life-Locking Threads in her hands, wrapping them around Su Yuan’s forehead, nose, ears, cheeks, mouth, chin, and neck — coiling tightly layer by layer, until his entire head was completely bound.
"Su Yuan, you’re the unstable factor. That sudden shift just now really gave quite a scare. As expected, only by killing you completely can I truly feel at ease..."
"So—farewell, Su Yuan."
As "Yelan" spoke, she gave a sharp tug of the Life-Locking Threads in her hands!
Su Yuan instantly felt blood splatter as his head was sliced into countless fragnts in a split second...
Well, as long as he could die and rewind, this wasn’t so bad...
Next ti, he had to figure out the cause behind Yelan’s corruption and stop her from falling into the influence of the Eerie power...
As for that boundary between life and death—he probably wouldn’t be going there just yet...
With that thought, Su Yuan lost consciousness.
................
Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide — that familiar and unsettling feeling washed over him again...
Feeling the sharp pain in the palm of his left hand, Su Yuan knew he had died once more...
He raised his left hand and looked at his palm:
[Unfortunately, you have used one death rewind. Current available rewind count: 4.4 tis.]
[Please follow Yelan and do not separate from her...]
[Otherwise, by the ti you et again, she may have already been corrupted and controlled by the Eerie power...]
[The absence of her ancestral bracelet on her wrist may be a symptom of corruption, not necessarily the trigger condition...]
[Yelan’s corruption condition might be related to "information"... and possibly involves Zhongli’s identity...]
[Eerie Yelan is extrely powerful. The eerie Qiqi is no match for her and could be instantly killed if caught off guard... Though it’s also possible that Qiqi didn’t do her warm-up exercises before the battle, which prevented her from performing at full strength...]
[Additionally, when your body is being controlled by the little boy, you are immune to the Eerie power’s immobilizing suppression. The specific chanism remains unknown...]
[Whether the little boy can be trusted is still uncertain — remain highly cautious toward him...]
