Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Neuvillette sitting at the desk, feeling the sharp pain in the palm of his left hand...
Su Yuan knew that he might have died once again...
He slowly raised his left hand and looked at the engraving in the center of his palm...
[Be careful! You've died again!]
[Neuvillette has also been corrupted by the Eerie!]
[After gaining Neuvillette's trust, pay attention to the weather!]
[Once you sense rain coming, don't hesitate, don't look back, run quickly!]
[Seeing this means you've died again!]
[You did well up until now, but when escaping, don't take the stairs!]
[Don't attempt to fight Neuvillette head-on!]
[Right now, you have no chance of winning!]
[Also, the Eerie seem to intentionally hide their identity in front of others!]
[But don't push them too hard, or they'll go all out and slaughter without hesitation!]
Looking at these words, Su Yuan found it hard to imagine what kind of cruel experience he had gone through the last time...
When the timeline reset, he didn't have any memory of it—was that a good thing... or a bad thing...
( Skipping scene )
"Alright, I believe you." After hearing Su Yuan's explanation, Neuvillette nodded slightly.
Su Yuan nervously observed the weather outside the window, but at the same time, he thought of another method...
The reason the weather in Fontaine suddenly turned rainy was because the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, Neuvillette, was crying...
The reason Neuvillette was crying was likely because, in order to gain his trust, Su Yuan had mentioned his past sorrow...
So, as long as Neuvillette stopped being sad, he wouldn't cry, Fontaine wouldn't suddenly experience rain, the weather would remain clear, and Neuvillette wouldn't be influenced by the Eerie.
This meant Su Yuan wouldn't have to run away anymore, right?
Su Yuan suddenly felt like a genius!
By combining the words in his palm with reverse thinking, he had found a completely new path!
"Neuvillette! Since you've decided to trust me, then listen to what I have to say!"
"Now, think about happy things, and make sure not to cry!"
"If it starts raining outside, and it's no longer clear weather, then something bad will happen!"
Although Neuvillette didn't understand why Su Yuan said this, he nodded and spoke, "Alright."
Su Yuan keenly observed that the traces of dark clouds gathering outside the window had completely dissipated in that instant...
As expected of Neuvillette, his control over his emotions was effortless!
"Neuvillette, well done!" Su Yuan gave Neuvillette a thumbs-up.
"Simply put, you've also been tainted by that strange force. Once the weather isn't clear, they might take advantage of the opportunity and get to you!"
"I see..." Neuvillette nodded.
"No wonder on some rainy days before, I felt like I had lost a portion of my memory, completely forgetting what happened during that time..."
"At first, I thought it was just due to exhaustion. But as the highest species of Teyvat, a dragon, my body shouldn't be this fragile. Now it seems, I was actually affected by that strange and evil force..."
"Mm." Su Yuan spoke, "So, even if it's for yourself, for Fufu, for Fontaine, and for all of Teyvat, try to stay in a good mood!"
"Fu... Fufu? Are you referring to Lady Furina?" Neuvillette looked at Su Yuan with a calm expression.
"That's quite an affectionate way of addressing her."
"Haha... hahahaha..." Su Yuan laughed awkwardly, realizing he had said it out of habit...
"So, Su Yuan, what exactly happened between you and Lady Furina last night?" Neuvillette asked.
Su Yuan really wanted to complain about the way Neuvillette phrased that question—it had a bit of a double meaning, and could easily be misinterpreted!
"From what I know, the Eerie, while affecting both you and Furina, have specific conditions..."
"For example, you, as long as the weather isn't clear, you'll be possessed and controlled by the Eerie..."
"And Furina, she won't be controlled by the Eerie during the day..."
"As for the conditions under which the Eerie control Furina, it's likely to be after the sun sets and during the night..."
"However, I've had many experiences watching performances with Lady Furina in the opera house at night, and during those times, she didn't seem abnormal to me..." Neuvillette pondered.
"So it's just a possibility!" Su Yuan explained.
"The specific conditions under which the Eerie control Furina are not completely clear to me yet."
"Also, the Eerie seem to be capable of disguising themselves. They don't seem to want to expose themselves in front of others. Can you guarantee that the Furina you saw was truly Furina, and not a disguise by the Eerie?"
"Although the Eerie won't easily expose themselves in front of others, from what I know, once they're pushed too far, they'll resort to anything, even indiscriminately starting a massacre..."
"So, Su Yuan, how can we eradicate the Eerie from our bodies?" Neuvillette furrowed his brow, clearly finding the current situation a bit troublesome.
The Eerie, unlike elemental power and the Abyss, represented an entirely new power system...
"This is also the part that troubles me. From what I know about Eerie elsewhere, many of them exist independently of individuals. As long as we destroy them completely, there shouldn't be any major issues..."
"But the Eerie in Teyvat now seem to have a kind of symbiotic relationship with you..."
"You're completely unaware of their presence, but when they act up, they can directly control you, turning you into terrifying monsters..."
Su Yuan continued and told Neuvillette about the terrifying scene he witnessed with Furina last night, as well as the experience of being fed bugs.
Neuvillette frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "Su Yuan, you shouldn't tell Furina about the anomaly tainting her..."
"Although she's technically the God of this country, in some ways, she's still like a child..."
"You can bear these cruel and terrifying facts, but she might not be able to..."
"I understand, I understand! I won't tell Furina! Don't worry, Neuvillette!" Su Yuan nodded and responded with certainty.
Neuvillette, the 'old father,' really was so worried about Furina.
"Neuvillette, honestly, we still know so little about the Eerie, but I believe that one day, we will defeat them!" Su Yuan said.
"Mm." Neuvillette nodded. "I told you, I believe you."
"What you believe in is what I believe in."
Su Yuan felt warmth in his heart.
As expected of Neuvillette, he truly made people feel at ease!
Su Yuan couldn't help but think of a certain guest from Liyue, who was also someone who made others feel secure.
He wondered if he was being affected by the Eerie now, and how his situation was.
Just as Su Yuan was about to continue discussing something with Neuvillette, he suddenly heard Neuvillette's slightly anxious voice:
"Su Yuan... run!"
Before Su Yuan could react, he saw the dark clouds gathering outside the window, as if it was about to rain...
Su Yuan froze.
What was happening? Didn't he already tell Neuvillette not to cry anymore?
