Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end
Chapter 197 The Temperature of the Palm
After Bolton's passionate speech, he was extremely excited and completely ignored the guards' obstruction. He couldn't wait to rush in to see his mother. However, at this moment, Morgana suddenly appeared and stopped him. Her tone was full of anger and disappointment, and she scolded loudly: "Have you ever thought that in your current state, how can you face your mother? You have obviously found a way to completely change our identity, but you still choose to cooperate with them!"
Hearing this, Bolton's face turned gloomy. He snorted coldly and replied in a sarcastic tone: "Why should I give up such a profitable business? The profit of this industry is dozens of times that of Les Industry, and it can also be made legal."
Paimon widened his eyes and looked at Bolton in disbelief, angrily asking him how he could be willing to become a bad guy for money!
"Bad guy? What's the standard? Does he have done bad things or does he have a good-looking face? You don't think the other face is a bad guy's face, right? You are not qualified to judge me, you are just a part of this hypocritical world. I will not repent, and my mother will understand me!"
Paimon was furious. This guy was really too mean, especially his mouth!
[Paimon: Even I, the God's Mouth, can't defeat him. This guy is just too evil.]
[Ningguang: No, it’s his heart. His heart is broken.]
[Ye Lan: The heart is broken, everything is hidden]
[Mona: These are all constants]
...
"To be honest, I don't think you look like a bad guy right now." Sigwen looked at Bolton with a smile, her eyes glittering with cunning. Her tone was relaxed and teasing, but it revealed a subtle seriousness.
Bolton snorted, a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. He stared at Sigwen and asked with a little provocation: "Stop making those jokes. I see you are not surprised at my confession; when did you know it?"
Sigwen narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth, forming a mysterious smile. She gently stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and replied: "Well... Actually, before you chose to exchange for the bottle of potion, I was just suspicious. If you ask when I started to doubt it, it should be when you first saw me in the infirmary. At that time, I felt a familiar breath, but I was not sure at that time. Later, a series of things happened, which made me feel more and more suspicious. So in order to confirm this suspicion, I decided to take the initiative to join the investigation."
Bolton sneered, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He shook his head and said sarcastically, "How ridiculous! In your eyes, a young and promising researcher and a criminal in prison are actually the same person? Are you too naive?"
Sigwen explained: "This potion is indeed very effective in disguising oneself. Even Melusin cannot tell the difference. However, I may understand humans better than other Melusin. There are some more essential characteristics in humans that cannot be affected by appearance."
Bolton thought that she couldn't see through him! According to his guess, Melusin's physique was close to water, so she must be able to enjoy that effect. Therefore, the reason why she had a human appearance was because she took that potion.
Sigwen did not avoid the question, but took the initiative to admit it.
Seeing her admit it, Bolton couldn't help laughing. "It's not hard to imagine that you decided to change your appearance when Melusin was ostracized, right? On one side is a weirdo who is ostracized by humans and can only live in the ditch, and on the other side is the respected head nurse Melolo Petersburg. You don't need to think to know which one to choose. So you and I are the same kind of person, and I see through you!"
Sigwen didn't explain too much. He came here to see his mother and she could fulfill his request.
Officer Morgana was panicked because she was not confident about Bolton.
"Don't worry. I showed him what I was going to say in the warehouse before. It was also a test. In order to come back and see his mother, he would rather risk giving up the hope of escaping the pursuit and open the gate to exchange for the bottle of potion. So at least his feelings for his mother are real."
[Kavi: I suggest sending this guy El Haisen over there. He will definitely be unable to respond.]
[Elhaisen: Sorry, I'm busy. How about you be the Great Sage? Or you? ]
[Nilu: I'm just a dancer, I can't do anything]
[Cole: I'm not even a forest ranger, I can't do anything]
[Falusan: I haven’t accepted Kelai as my apprentice yet, and I’m an old man, I can’t do anything]
[Amao: What are you looking at me for? I belong to Inazuma]
[Nashida: There is no one available at the moment, so... I'll leave it to El Haisen, please.]
[Claulinde: Bolton is wrong. The head nurse Sigwen, who is highly regarded by everyone, relies on her hard work and strength, not the attributes that come with the position.]
[Lisa: People who only see profit think this way]
[Yae Shenzi: It doesn’t matter. These four words have already explained the different realms of the two people. He is still bound by his obsession with appearance, and he is trapped in a circle and cannot escape.]
[Keqing: This is a true military advisor]
[Coral Palace Xinhai: I am still far behind]
[Goro: In fact, Miss Sigwen's image as a military advisor is better than that of Lord Coral Palace.]
[Alice: Isn't the most ironic thing about the whole story that, except for Sigwen, everyone really thought that Lavater was a good person who would never do bad things, but thought that Bolton, who looked like this, was a dishonest person?]
[Kaiya: This plot satirizes the reality of judging people by their appearance. People with good-looking faces are always good people, and people with ugly faces are always bad people. But how many good-looking people have ugly and sinister faces on the inside. How many ugly-faced people have kind hearts on the inside. Don't just define others by their appearance.]
[Amao: Hahaha, judging people by their appearance is wrong, but people who look like Dotore must not be good people! ]
[Ying: They say appearance is not important, but the way to enter is based on your appearance]
...
Bolton rushed into the room with a nervous look on his face, walked to his mother's bedside in two steps, and said softly in a trembling voice: "Mom? It's me, your son Bolton! Look at me now, you can definitely recognize me, right?"
However, the old woman on the bed just coughed a few times without any response.
Bolton was suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Sigwen stepped forward and said to Bolton with a little regret: "I'm sorry, I have to tell you some bad news first. When I examined her last time, I found that her eyes were blind due to the continuous high fever. So now if you want her to remember you, relying on your appearance is definitely the most useless way. However, there are many other ways to let your loved ones remember you, aren't there?"
"Damn it..." Bolton roared in a low voice, his voice full of anger and helplessness. His eyes were full of sadness and despair, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart when he looked at his mother lying on the hospital bed.
"Open your eyes quickly and look, I am your son Bolton! If you really can't see, hold my hand tightly, this is your son's hand!"
The old man said nothing and turned his head away.
"I've come this far, how come you don't recognize me?"
【Paimon: Who can explain this to me? 】
[Qiqi: The temperature of the palm...is the temperature of the heart]
[Keqing: This person’s heart is completely black, there is no warmth in his palms, the old man can’t feel it]
[Yae God's Son: He went astray and fell into depravity, which chilled his heart to the point that even his closest people felt strange to him. The former Bolton is dead, how sad and lamentable]
[Keli: Mom, can you feel Keli's warmth? ]
[Alice: Of course, Mom will be with Kelly no matter where or when.]
【Wendy: Tevarin…】
[Tvarin: Get out! 】
...
"It seems that the temperature of his palm has changed... I'm sorry that I couldn't bring him back in the end." Sigwen felt a little disappointed. She slowly placed her hand on the old man's palm, feeling the gradually cooling touch.
The old man's eyes gradually brightened, as if he remembered something, and murmured to himself: "It's you... Thank you." His voice was as weak as a candle in the wind, but it was full of sincere gratitude.
Sigwen was shocked. She didn't expect that the old man still remembered her and the temperature of her palm. However, at this moment, the old man's hand suddenly loosened and fell weakly to the side of the bed.
Sigwen stared at all this blankly, tears blurring her vision. She knew that she had left this world, but she also understood that this thank you was the old man's recognition and gratitude for her efforts.
Burton was a little confused and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why, Mom...why did you respond to her? Why?"
Sigwen's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was a little hoarse: "Don't ask anymore, she just left."
"Bolton, unfortunately, we are not the same kind of people."
Bolton snorted first, then sighed helplessly.
[Paimon: He can no longer make excuses for his evil deeds. His greatest support was gone the moment his mother left.]
[Ying: This old man knows Sigwen, he should be the friend that Sigwen mentioned]
[Sigwen: Yes, she is my best friend]
[Ningguang: Sigwen's desire to save people has never changed, and the temperature of her palms has never changed, so she can be recognized.]
[Alice: The temperature of the palm is the most recognizable mark]
[Albedo: If you want to define a person, "appearance" is obviously just one of the most superficial criteria, but it can always become a set of shackles, which in turn restricts ourselves. This is my conclusion]
[Kaeya: Mr. Albedo, you are still performing steadily]
....
Bolton was eventually taken away by the police, and another day passed in the blink of an eye.
Ying and Paimeng were walking on the streets of Fontaine when they heard about a skin care product promotion.
Sigwen is also here, responsible for helping Officer Morgana to finish up yesterday's case and seek help from Villette to recover all harmful skin care products and optimize them into a harmless method that can evaporate naturally without polluting water and soil.
Just then, Officer Morgana also came over to report the destruction and was about to deliver Rawat’s interrogation records.
He then added: "Yesterday, after he saw his mother for the last time, his psychological defenses seemed to have completely collapsed. He had no resistance to the interrogation and we asked a lot of questions. He accidentally discovered the formula of this potion when he was helping the criminal gang to mix Les, and then he thought of designing a diluted version of it into skin care products.
Their supplier was Vashé, or rather, they helped Vashé’s gang destroy a large amount of criminal evidence. This cooperation was so seamless that we never noticed their gang.”
Paimon flew over and asked curiously, "Has the influence of Vasheh not been completely eliminated yet?"
Officer Morgana shook her head, but they were destined to be wiped out, it was only a matter of time.
After the flood, they lost their resources and were forced to take risks. They tried to use the hidden fetal sea water to attack lonely passers-by, but of course they failed in the end.
[Navia: It's a pity that I didn't kill him myself. He harmed so many people, and the impact has not been eliminated until now.]
[Funina: He can be said to be a stain on Fontaine's history. More than 90% of the troubles were caused by him.]
[Kaia: A true sinner, it's a pity that he was frightened to death]
[Beidou: This may be what the ancients said, good people don’t live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years]
[Sigwen: According to what I have learned, he used all the first money he earned to treat his mother’s illness]
[Xiao Gong: There is evil and filial piety, but he should not do this. The law is sacred and inviolable.]
[Yan Fei: That’s right! And don’t mention Zhang San! ]
【Xiang Ling: Uh… I just wanted to say this, but I don’t know what to say now】
[Paimon: Why does Sigwen want his criminal record? ]
[Sigwen: From a universal point of view, he was once my patient. I need to compile a medical record for him. My teacher also told me that personal history is also a very important part of the medical record. Well... patients who suffer from their own faults are also patients.]
[Nawilate: A failed life is also a life]
[Claulinde: Hmm… This kind of thing shouldn’t be publicized, right? If the troupe knew about it, it would probably cause trouble.]
[Kole: Why not ask Lord Grass God to erase their memories? ]
[Nashida: Cole, I should have said it many times, deleting people's memories is disrespectful to them]
[Kole: I’m sorry…Lord Grass God]
[Kaeya: Why not look for the reliable and smart Albedo? ]
[Sigwen: Thank you for your help, uncle. I will treat you to a meal next time you come to Feng.]
[Albedo: I think Aunt Alice is the most suitable]
[Alice: Just a small matter? Gather all the people from Fontaine together, and I will use the Memory Forgetting Technique!]
