Su Yuan suddenly snapped his eyes open—it was that sa familiar, heart-clenching sensation again...
This ti, just like before, there was no stabbing pain in the palm of his left hand, yet Su Yuan knew he had died once more...
But what he didn’t know was—just how many deaths this made already.
He looked around at his surroundings.
Just now, he and Aether had gone to the Favonius Cathedral, stopping Rosaria from overworking herself, and preventing her from falling into Eerie state...
And right now, Aether’s expression was clearly tense.
He was panting heavily, as though extrely on edge...
"Aether, what’s going on with you? We just took care of Rosaria’s problem—shouldn’t we be relieved? Why do you look so nervous?"
"Su Yuan, there’s no ti to explain. Hurry, co with to Mondstadt’s main gate!"
Aether urged anxiously, then quickly turned to Barbara:
"Barbara, please notify Master Jean imdiately. Have the Knights issue an order throughout Mondstadt to forbid harming or hunting any birds—make sure it’s done quickly!!!"
"And one more thing—for safety’s sake, Barbara, once you’re back at headquarters, call Eula over to the main bridge at Mondstadt’s gate as well!"
After giving these instructions, Aether imdiately took Paimon and Su Yuan, leaving Favonius Cathedral and rushing toward the bridge at Mondstadt’s gate.
Although Su Yuan didn’t know what was happening, seeing Aether so anxious and serious, he understood Aether must know sothing again.
All he needed to do was follow his lead.
"Su Yuan, once we reach the bridge, we’ll see Timmy feeding his pigeons... and then so older kids will co to pick on him..."
On the way, Su Yuan spoke up to Aether:
"Those kids aren’t bad at heart. We can just solve the problem with so Mora..."
"Our real concern is Timmy himself..."
But Aether didn’t continue past that point.
From experience, he knew all too well—anyti he tried to say sothing involving his retained mories from death rewind, or anything related to Eerie force, his words would always twist into awkward, nonsensical gibberish...
And in response to Aether’s words, Su Yuan didn’t question him too much.
Since he no longer had the intel prompts from the palm of his left hand, all he could do now was place his hopes entirely on Aether...
Everything that followed played out exactly as Aether had said.
Su Yuan and Aether smoothly dealt with those older kids who had co to bother Timmy, successfully protecting both Timmy and his pigeons—and in doing so, safeguarding Mondstadt as well.
Before long, Eula also arrived on the scene.
Looking at Su Yuan and Aether with so tension, she asked:
"Traveler, Su Yuan—you called over in such a hurry. Did you discover traces of Eerie that you need to handle?"
"No... I’m not sure yet..." Aether replied, staring intently at Timmy, watching for any signs of eerie.
If, after all this effort, he still couldn’t stop Timmy from turning eerie state, then it could only an Timmy’s fate was sealed...
Fortunately, after so ti observing, Timmy showed no signs of eerie transformation.
It seed this ordeal had finally passed...
And yet, one thing still left Aether deeply puzzled—the mysterious black-cloaked man hadn’t appeared at all?
And was the cloaked man who had disguised himself as Zhongli last ti the sa one who had disguised himself as Diluc the ti before?
In fact, one of the reasons Aether had called Eula here was precisely so she could confront that mysterious cloaked figure, to see who he really was...
But as things turned out, the man simply never showed up...
Afterward, Aether had Eula escort Timmy ho and also warned Timmy not to carelessly feed pigeons anymore...
anwhile, Aether, Su Yuan, and Paimon stayed behind to wait for Zhongli...
Not long after, Zhongli once again soared in on stone pillars, arriving at the scene.
Everything unfolded exactly as it had the previous ti.
After a brief exchange, Zhongli departed, returning to Liyue.
Aether then took Su Yuan with him, heading toward the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
Because Aether knew—the matter wasn’t resolved yet.
Klee’s Eerie condition, "Blowing Fish", actually had another layer of aning behind it...
"Su Yuan, do you know that ’Blowing Fish’—besides literally blowing up fish in ponds and rivers—also has another aning?"
Faced with Aether’s question, Su Yuan froze for a mont, wondering why Aether would bring that up...
Su Yuan knew that Aether definitely wouldn’t ask such an irrelevant question—this "blowing up fish" must be connected to the rules behind Klee’s eerie transformation...
Before long, Su Yuan realized sothing and spoke up:
"Aether, you know I ca here from a world outside of Teyvat. In our world, besides the literal aning of blowing up fish, ’blowing up fish’ also has another, figurative aning..."
"Most of the ti, in certain gas, if a skilled player sneaks in among a group of beginners, then that player’s behavior can be called ’smurfing’—or ’blowing up fish.’"
"Could it be, Aether, that what you’re trying to tell is that the cause of Klee’s eerie state isn’t just the literal blowing up of fish, but also this other kind of ’blowing up fish’?"
"Exactly." Aether nodded, replying:
"Whether it was those kids who wanted to play with Klee, or those construction teams that sought her help in adjusting bomb formulas..."
"In all these areas, Klee has a talent far beyond ordinary people—she’s an expert!"
"In a sense, that’s also a kind of ’blowing up fish’!"
"You’re right, Aether, that makes sense." Su Yuan nodded.
"Let’s go back and stay with Klee now."
And sure enough, just as Aether had predicted, a construction crew soon arrived, seeking Klee’s help to blast apart the stone blocks around the Anemo Archon’s statue in the plaza...
After explaining the situation to Jean, Su Yuan and Aether accompanied Klee to the plaza to help with the blasting.
On the way, Su Yuan and Aether also explained to Klee the deeper conditions of her eerie transformation.
After hearing it, Klee spoke in astonishnt:
"So ’blowing up fish’ actually has another aning like that... This is the first ti I’ve ever heard of it!"
"Looks like, from now on, I’ll have to be more active in playing with others and helping people—otherwise I might end up falling into eerie state!"
Watching Klee’s expression, Su Yuan thought to himself: Klee really is such a kindhearted child!
In his original world, "blowing up fish" was basically a derogatory term, but Klee’s kind of "blowing up fish" seed to be sothing entirely different!
"Co on, Klee—let see just how powerful the explosives you’ve prepared really are!" Su Yuan said with a smile.
