The morning sunlight stread into the room through the worn-out window...
Feeling the warmth of the sun, Su Yuan groggily opened his eyes.
He rubbed his head, still feeling a bit heavy and aching...
Yesterday, he had bled so much to prepare a late-night snack for himself and "Furina."
After drinking a full glass of his own blood, he had no recollection of what happened afterward...
Su Yuan checked himself over — it didn’t seem like he was missing any limbs or body parts.
It looked like after he passed out yesterday, "Furina" hadn’t done anything terrifying to him.
He looked at Furina, who still seed to be asleep beside him, and sighed lightly as he felt a stinging pain in the palm of his right hand...
In the end, he still wasn’t able to save Mada Ping...
So where the hell did Aether go?
Taking advantage of the fact that Furina hadn’t woken up yet, Su Yuan raised his left hand and looked at his palm:
[First of all, congratulations on surviving the seventeenth night.]
[Skipped...]
[Currently available intel:]
[49. The known conditions for Mada Ping’s eerie transformation are twofold: one, the loss of a loved one again; two, the Teapot of Serenity being damaged... In an already eerie state, if Mada Ping’s transformation conditions are triggered again, the increase in negative emotions will drastically enhance her power.]
Looking at this intel, Su Yuan didn’t even know what to say anymore...
What is this? Hindsight bias? Armchair wisdom?
If only this intel had been given to him a few days earlier, it might have helped him a lot...
But now, after going through so much, Su Yuan and the others had already mostly figured out the conditions for Mada Ping’s eerie transformation.
Most importantly, Mada Ping was already dead — what use was this information now?
Su Yuan cursed inwardly at the intel from the palm of his right hand.
Pulling this kind of useless, waste-of-a-tip garbage again... it was downright disgusting!
But despite all the complaints and swearing, Su Yuan still had to keep reading:
[50. So of the content in the opera "The Hero Slays the Dragon" sung by Yun Jin is based on true events.]
Su Yuan was stunned when he read this...
What was that supposed to an?
The palm intel — which had never been wrong — was saying that the content in Yun Jin’s opera was real?
Did that an there really was an eerie entity hiding inside his body — that he really was so kind of eerie himself?
No, wait — Su Yuan quickly noticed the phrasing: it said "so of the content", not "all of it."
So it wasn’t saying the entire opera was true — only certain parts.
But the intel didn’t specify which parts were real, just left him dangling with vague, half-answers ant to confuse and mislead...
Just like it did before — saying there was a traitor in the team, or hinting that he himself might be under the control of eerie powers...
Still, no matter what, since the palm intel had made such a statent, it was best to remain cautious and prepare for the worst.
Su Yuan took a deep breath and continued reading:
[51. Important Intel: The condition for gaining additional rewind attempts is—witnessing death.]
Seeing this crucial piece of intel, Su Yuan finally felt like he’d received sothing useful...
This ti, the intel directly revealed the condition for earning extra rollback attempts.
So, it really was related to "death"—but with a specific qualifier: he had to witness the death.
Thinking it over, Su Yuan imdiately understood why, back when Ganyu reported the heavy casualties among the Millelith Army, he’d only gained a small increase in rewind attempts...
That was because, on that day, he had only seen a few fallen Millelith soldiers on the battlefield during the Geovishap Tide.
He had only witnessed the deaths of those few.
As for yesterday, although Xiangling also died, he didn’t actually see her die—he had gone straight to the border of life and death in Wuwang Hill, which probably didn’t count.
Yesterday, he had only truly witnessed the death of the eerie state Mada Ping.
It remained to be seen how much that would increase his rewind attempts...
Thinking this, Su Yuan looked further down:
[Special Intel: You have gained 1 additional rewind attempt.]
[Current available rewind attempts: 1.2 tis]
[52. After surviving the eighteenth night, new intel will be unlocked.]
This result was sowhat unexpected for Su Yuan—a fallen Mada Ping had only granted him one additional rewind attempt?
That being the case, the Millelith soldiers whose deaths he had previously witnessed must carry even less "weight"...
Perhaps each person only contributed 0.1 rewind attempts?
Even so, as the saying goes, "even a mosquito counts as at"—with more rewind attempts available, he could face upcoming crises with greater ease.
Su Yuan thought, since most of the matters in Liyue had been dealt with—leaving only the Eerie "Yelan" lurking in the shadows—maybe he could use his free ti to try and witness more deaths, thereby increasing his rewind count...
For example, visiting Bubu Pharmacy or hospitals across the land—there would always be people passing away from illness or injury, and by witnessing their deaths, he might be able to accumulate more rollback attempts...
But as Su Yuan pondered this, a chilling thought struck him.
In the past, the number of rollback attempts per day had a limit...
But this new additional rollback counter...
Didn’t seem to have a limit at all.
If he were to beco like those ruthless Treasure Hoarders—pillaging, burning, and murdering countless people—wouldn’t he be able to witness many deaths and rapidly increase his extra rewind count?
But soon, Su Yuan dismissed that thought.
To murder others and steal their lives just to benefit himself—how would that make him any different from those despicable scum, those evil demons?
He was a hero, a warrior from beyond this world who had co to Teyvat—how could he ever do sothing like that?
Su Yuan even began to suspect that the intel on his right palm had deliberately told him how to increase his rewind count—trying to tempt him with the allure of power and benefits, hoping he’d lose his moral compass.
But there was no way he’d fall for it.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yuan cald himself.
He absolutely could not let himself be corrupted or fall into depravity, becoming a monster like that...
Then, Su Yuan gently shook Furina, who was still sleeping beside him.
This abandoned shack was ultimately too dirty and broken.
It was best to take Furina and leave this place as soon as possible.
"Furina, the sun’s already shining on your butt—ti to get up!"
