Su Yuan turned around in horror.
The woman speaking to him had the sa face as Furina, but her hair was longer, and she wore a flowing silk gown...
That's right! She was Focalors!
It seed the previous intelligence analysis was incorrect...
The execution didn't necessarily have to take place at night!
"Focalors" showed a puzzled expression.
"Su Yuan... There's a familiar scent on you..."
"This scent... It makes nostalgic... It excites ... Hehehe..."
The blue gown of "Focalors" began to be tainted with crimson blood-like patterns.
Her face underwent a drastic transformation—her eyeballs disappeared, her eye sockets sank inward, sharp fangs grew in her mouth, and from her seven orifices, a mixture of bright red and dark brown liquid began to seep and spread...
Seeing "Focalors" in this state, Su Yuan was even more certain—she had been taken over by so kind of eerie entity!
Su Yuan knew he was absolutely no match for this horror, but surrendering and begging for rcy was simply not an option!
Since he was dood anyway, he had to use this opportunity to gather as much information as possible!
"Heh... Focalors, you say I have a familiar scent. What exactly is that scent?" Su Yuan forced himself to suppress his fear and tension as he asked.
"You actually know my na... It has been five hundred years... Finally, soone has called my na once again..."
"Focalors" looked surprised as she spoke slowly.
"You know... now that you say that, I almost don't want to execute your death sentence anymore..."
"After all... you're the only one in all these years... who truly understands ..."
Su Yuan thought to himself, Focalors, this isn't right!
A death sentence is a death sentence!
You can't bend the law for personal feelings or halt the execution!
If you don't kill , how am I supposed to reset and go back?!
With that in mind, Su Yuan slowly reached into his pocket, gripping the small knife he carried with him.
If necessary, he would have to end things himself...
Moreover, Su Yuan couldn't shake the feeling that this eerie version of "Focalors" was different from the other people who had been taken over by the strange force...
"Oh! I rember now!"
"Focalors" suddenly exclaid.
"You have Neuvillette's scent on you... His blood flows through your veins... Half of your bloodline belongs to Neuvillette..."
Su Yuan was taken aback.
Had "Focalors" really figured it out?
Indeed, his body contained half of Neuvillette's ancient dragon blood.
Should he be impressed by her sharp eyes or her keen sense of sll?
But then, what "Focalors" said next completely baffled him...
"Su Yuan... you must be Neuvillette's child, right?"
Su Yuan: ???
"Such pure Neuvillette blood... and it just happens to make up half of your body's lineage..."
"There's no way such a coincidence could exist in this world..."
"Su Yuan, you must be Neuvillette's child, aren't you?"
"Thinking back to four or five hundred years ago, when Neuvillette first arrived in Fontaine... Back then, he still wasn't accustod to interacting with humans..."
"I never expected that after all these centuries, his child would have grown so much..."
"Uh... Focalors, can you let explain for a mont?"
At this mont, Su Yuan no longer felt fear or terror—what he felt more was absurdity and speechlessness...
Focalors' imagination was way too wild...
However, Focalors didn't seem to care about Su Yuan's reaction at all.
She simply continued speaking on her own:
"The other half of your bloodline is an utterly pure human bloodline..."
"Such an unbelievably pure human bloodline—there's only that little one who possesses it, right?"
"In my eyes, they are the perfect and purest human, because they are completely the sa as a true human—the ideal version of myself..."
"Furina... she must be your mother, right?"
Su Yuan: ???
Su Yuan truly hadn't expected this—Focalors' imagination had no limits, only greater extres...
In Teyvat, humans and other species could have offspring.
Take Liyue's overworked maniac Ganyu and the legal expert Yanfei, for example...
Not to ntion, so creatures could also take on human form—like that scheming fox from Inazuma, or that carefree wind spirit in Mondstadt who never does any real work...
And in Fontaine, the vast majority of people were originally pure water spirits.
Neuvillette had yet to reclaim the full authority of the ancient dragon and absolve their sins, so they weren't even considered true humans yet...
But in his world, humans and other species were reproductively isolated—only humans could reproduce with humans.
So he was definitely a pure human, right?
Moreover, Su Yuan clearly sensed that this eerie version of "Focalors" was fundantally different from the others who had been taken over by the eerie force...
She seed to possess more mories—and more rationality as well...
"I really never expected this... Neuvillette and Furina actually ended up together in the end..."
"I always thought that Neuvillette would forever see that timid, weak, yet brave and kind Furina—the one who possessed both the flaws and virtues of humanity—as a little sister or daughter to protect..."
"But in the end, Neuvillette made a decision that completely caught off guard..."
As "Focalors" spoke, her twisted face gradually returned to normal, transforming into a gentle and kind expression.
She gave Su Yuan a soft smile and said, "Su Yuan, because you are Neuvillette and Furina's child, I will not lay a hand on you. I hereby pardon your death sentence."
"However, the execution must still take place today, so... I'll just randomly select a lucky person instead."
"Su Yuan, in a way, I suppose you could consider your mother too..."
"Co, let hear you call 'Mom.'"
Su Yuan instantly felt a massive headache coming on.
Focalors wasn't going to execute him anymore?
This... didn't seem like a good thing at all...
"Focalors! Neuvillette is not my father! Furina is not my mother! And you are definitely not my mother! Listen to ! The reason I have Neuvillette's blood in is because..."
"I'm not listening! I'm not listening!"
"Focalors" reached out and covered Su Yuan's mouth, giving him a gentle smile.
"Since you don't want to admit it and don't want to call 'Mom,' I won't force you..."
"Well then, goodbye, my dear little Su Yuan..."
As she spoke, "Focalors" gently kissed Su Yuan on the cheek.
Then, her entire body transford into shimring particles of blue, black, and red—like glittering sand and flowing water—before vanishing into the bathroom, disappearing right before Su Yuan's eyes...
"Focalors! Think this through properly, will you?! If I were really Neuvillette and Furina's child, why is my surna 'Su' instead of 'Neuv' or 'Fur'?!"
Touching his cheek, Su Yuan felt utterly speechless.
This eerie version of "Focalors" was completely different from any of the strange entities he had encountered before!
At least to him, she wasn't terrifying or horrifying... she was just absurd!
Su Yuan thought to himself—he needed to hurry back to Palais rmonia and tell Neuvillette about this...
First of all, "Focalors" didn't necessarily have to carry out executions at night...
Secondly, his plan to use himself as bait had failed—since Focalors was going to randomly select another person for execution, they had to find out who it was as soon as possible and protect them!
Right now, Su Yuan couldn't afford to worry about the embarrassnt of not being able to pay—he needed to rush back to Palais rmonia imdiately!
But just as he was about to leave the restroom, he suddenly heard voices from outside...
"That's right, officer! This guest was acting nervous just now, looking like he couldn't afford to pay, and then he hid in the restroom for ages... We suspect he's trying to dine and dash!"
"Trying to dine and dash at Hotel Debord in Fontaine? If I rember correctly, the prices here are quite high... That's enough reason for to send him straight to ropide! Let's see how he likes the special als there!"
"The person inside! You have five seconds to co out! You are under arrest!"
For so reason, Su Yuan felt that this officer's voice sounded really familiar...
Slowly, he opened the restroom door—only to see Chevreuse staring at him, completely stunned.
"Uh... hey, Chevreuse. Fancy eting you here..." Su Yuan greeted her with an awkward smile.
