Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Ying didn't know about Nianming's methods. She went straight back to the town where she came from. It was already bright in the sky and the aroma of food came from many people's homes.

It was almost noon. Ying was exhausted after not getting any rest the previous night and traveling for half a day. If she hadn't had a lot of delicious food in her backpack, she would have collapsed from hunger on the road.

She returned to the house and just pushed open the door when she saw a dishevelled woman running past her. Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and there were some bruises on her arms and cheeks. She was shouting "Help! Help!"

Ying recognized that it was Zhao Dongniang, and understood why she asked for help - it must be Brother Zhu, whose temperament had changed drastically, who was abusing her. But she didn't understand why she, who was so tough just two days ago, became like this today.

On the other side, Brother Zhu just walked out of the house. There were many scratches on his face and arms. Although the wounds were not deep, there were quite a lot of them. A little bit of blood gathered together, making his already angry face look even more ferocious.

"Brother Zhu, what are you going to do!" Seeing that Brother Zhu came with ill intentions, Ying quickly stood between the two of them and took a vigilant posture.

Ying knew that Brother Zhu's heart had been replaced by Sui Yang at this time, and his behavior would be more like that of the deceased Old Shao - violent, irritable, and fond of hitting people.

However, even if Ying cannot use elemental power in order to prevent the townspeople from noticing anything unusual, her own combat skills are extremely high, far beyond what an ordinary person like Zhu Ge can compare to. If the other party attacks her, Ying is confident that she can easily subdue him.

But Zhu Ge stopped and looked at Ying with a puzzled look. After a moment, he called out her name:

"fluorescent?"

Zhu Ge's reaction was consistent with the guess Ying made before leaving the town: as Ying already knew, the lake gave identities to outsiders like them in order to maintain the stability of the town at the bottom of the lake. But if one day, these outsiders suddenly left the lake, how should the townspeople deal with their disappearance, and what should they do with the identities given to them?

Ying's conjecture has two points:

One is that the lake water will not be treated, so the townspeople will naturally think that they are missing.

But such treatment does not conform to the lake's pursuit of stability in the town, because in this way, the existence of these outsiders will have a permanent impact on the town, and no one knows how many outsiders will arrive here in the future, and how many will leave before being assimilated by the lake.

After all, outsiders are uncontrollable factors. If the influence of outsiders is retained, the final result will also be unpredictable.

Therefore, Ying guessed that the lake would take another measure, which was to directly erase their existence.

During the time that Ying was away from the town, the people in the town would forget the fact that Ying had ever existed, and everyone would continue to live their lives according to the way they lived before these outsiders arrived, thus greatly avoiding the influence of outsiders from remaining.

Zhu Ge's reaction proved this point. After recognizing Ying, the anger on his face subsided a little, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. He suppressed his voice and shouted in a low voice:

"Get out of the way! This is none of your business."

Just at this time Gui Yan and Gu Ling also arrived at the front door, and in front of them was Chen Juan.

Gui Yan and Gu Ling both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ying appear, but Chen Juan was still confused. Her steps slowed down for a moment. When the identity given to Ying by the lake entered her mind again, Chen Juan finally showed a look of horror.

"fluorescent!"

Chen Juan quickly ran to Ying, hugged her, and said to Brother Zhu in a trembling voice:

"Old Zhu, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? I just don't want to be bullied anymore! Is there anything wrong with that?" The anger on Brother Zhu's face had not diminished even a little bit, but his voice was surprisingly calm when he spoke, but the bulging muscles on his body were a silent threat.

Perhaps it was because Brother Zhu was always humble and not very tall, so even though most people knew he was strong, they would not take him seriously.

But now, after the heart transplant, Brother Zhu has made full use of the power in his body, and in just two days, he has gained some "reputation."

Chen Juan was also afraid, afraid that the mad Zhu Ge would beat her up too, but she knew that she was the owner of the house and the one who adopted Ying, so she still stood up.

"I can't let you do this anymore. If you do this again, move out of the yard!"

Chen Juan's voice was still trembling, but she still tried to raise her voice, wanting to make her words sound more weighty. However, she did not expect that these words seemed to anger Brother Zhu even more. His eyes suddenly turned red, and the blue veins on his forehead looked particularly hideous.

"I'm messing around?"

Brother Zhu shouted, and then repeated it again as if he had heard something unbelievable:

"I'm messing around!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

He was obviously furious, but in the end he laughed. It was certainly not a happy laugh. It was full of reluctance, grievance and of course anger. However, Ying also felt a hint of absurdity in it.

"I'm just messing around..."

Brother Zhu finally stopped laughing. He swept his red eyes over Chen Juan, Ying, and Zhao Dongniang behind them. Then he looked around. Apart from Gui Yan and Gu Ling, everyone else in the mansion had also gathered around.

The gate of the mansion was not closed. Some passers-by and those who came here specifically gathered there. Most of them were just ordinary passers-by who were attracted by the movement in the mansion, but among them were Zhuang Ge and the foreman who asked Zhu Ge to help him unload the goods.

Click!

Ying heard a crisp sound coming from Zhu Ge's mouth, which was the sound of his teeth pressing against each other until they were almost broken.

"If this is what I call nonsense, then why, why! She -" Brother Zhu pointed at Zhao Dongniang, and then moved his finger to the outside of the door, "- and them, then what was he before?!"

"When they bullied me, who among you stood up for me?"

"Now that I'm resisting, you're accusing me of being reckless?!"

"Does that mean that it was right for me to be bullied by them, and it was wrong for me to resist?!"

"What did I do wrong? What on earth did I do wrong?! Why do I have to suffer this?!"

"Am I guilty? What is my crime?"

"Or you guys, you were originally in the same group with them, you guys are also..."

When Brother Zhu said this, he saw the gleam in Chen Juan's eyes and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

But his anger had already been ignited, and the growing anger made his face red, and the sound of grinding teeth and clenching fists rang out again.

Finally, Brother Zhu could only roar:

"what--"

……

Finally, Brother Zhu pushed aside the people blocking the door and ran out. Some of the people he knocked to the ground stood up by holding the wall. Ying heard their conversation clearly:

"Old Zhu is really crazy."

"He's obviously a very honest person, how could this happen?"

"It's all that Zhao Dongniang's fault."

"Maybe he is just like that. Look at how he looked just now."

"Oh my ass... this old Zhu is a jerk! We all misjudged him."

Ying heard those people go from discussing a lot in the beginning to reaching a consensus in the end. They all thought that Brother Zhu was a bad person, just like Lao Shao.

In this process, the roles of Zhuang Ge and the foreman are indispensable, because in the eyes of others, these two people do often interact with Brother Zhu, so they think that these two people must know Brother Zhu better. Since they all said so, then Brother Zhu must be a bastard.

Ying didn't say anything. Chen Juan held her in her arms and took her back to her room.

Looking at the people outside the window who were still expressing their anger towards Brother Zhu and even beginning to sympathize with Zhao Dongniang, Ying also felt a sense of absurdity in what was happening.
