Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 24: Forbidden knowledge to control the remnant of the devil?

"It's really okay. In fact, the remnant of the demon god had been dispersed by me before it entered my sea of ​​consciousness. Taking over my body was just his dying struggle. And with your help, I will soon destroy him completely!" Su Xun explained.

"Okay, as long as you're okay." Although Hu Tao was still a little worried, seeing that Su Xun was safe and sound, she had to accept this explanation.

"Let's go, let's leave here first, it's too depressing here."

Su Xun didn't say much. After greeting Hu Tao, he walked towards the door of the stone chamber, preparing to reopen the passage.

"Okay!" Hearing this, Hu Tao no longer thought about it and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

It was also very easy to get out. After all, it was the exit that Su Xun blocked himself. A softening spell and a rock moving spell could solve the problem.

When we came outside, the valley was still shrouded in mist, and the altar in the center of the platform seemed to be the same as before, with no changes.

Su Xun let out a sigh and relaxed completely. The enclosed space was too stuffy and it was more comfortable outside.

Even though the environment outside seems gloomy.

Su Xun turned around and saw Hu Tao walking with a thoughtful look on his face. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I always feel like I've forgotten something..." Walnut frowned, looking confused.

Su Xun was stunned. Hearing her say this, it seemed that he had the same feeling.

It seems like some key information is missing, what is it?

"Ah! I remember it!" Hu Tao slapped his head and shouted excitedly.

Su Xun looked at her with inquiring eyes.

"Sacrifice! Sacrifice!"

"...??"

What kind of sacrifice? Are you going to hold a sacrifice? Has the Wangsheng Hall expanded into new business?

Su Xun didn't react for a moment.

But he thought of something the next moment, and his eyes suddenly focused.

The mysterious man who performed the sacrifice!

There must be a reason for the revival of the shadow demon Hadils. Perhaps it was because someone held a sacrificial ceremony not long ago, which awakened him from his slumber!

"We must catch him. It is too dangerous for Liyue to keep a person who can awaken the remnant of the Demon God. Who knows what big things he will do next!" Hu Tao said solemnly.

Su Xun also nodded. Indeed, this kind of person is an unstable factor, so it is better to get rid of him in time.

"So what, how are you going to find him?"

Su Xun didn't know where to start for a moment. After all, he had never seen the person behind the scenes. Although he knew some tracking techniques, he couldn't find someone without any clues.

"Hey! Have you forgotten? This is Wuwang Slope, the territory of our Wangsheng Hall! Since he caused trouble here, he must have left traces. Let's go! Let's go find someone to ask!"

Walnut smiled slyly, appearing to be confident.

Su Xun looked at the smile on Hu Tao's face and his heart was slightly moved.

He knew that Hu Tao's Hall of the Rebirth had a lot of "connections", and the "people" here naturally referred to the ghosts wandering around Wuwangpo.

There are many ghosts lingering in the human world. They dare not say that they know everything about the Yin-Yang boundary of Wuwangpo, but if someone really makes some noise here, then they may know something.

Without stopping for long, the two immediately followed Walnut's instructions and began searching around Wuwangpo for ghosts who might know clues.

The fog at Wuwangpo is thick, giving people a depressing feeling, but Su Xun and Hu Tao have already gotten used to this environment.

--------------------

An hour later.

Based on the clues they collected, the two came to a hidden cave.

Looking at the deep and dark cave in front of them, there were obvious signs of recent human activities at the entrance. They looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

"It looks like we've found the right place." Kurumi lowered his voice, a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Well, but be careful. Since this person can awaken the remnant of the devil, he may have some dangerous methods."

Su Xun seemed to be more cautious. After experiencing the possession of the body by the remnant of the demon god, he was somewhat frightened. He tightly grasped the spear in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Hu Tao also nodded cautiously, not daring to be careless.

The two of them stepped into the cave quietly, and a gloomy breath rushed towards them, as if even their souls were about to be frozen.

The road inside the cave was winding and dim. Su Xun casually cast an illumination spell, and a bright light rose behind him, illuminating the road ahead as they moved forward.

The cave didn't seem to be very deep, and the end was about twenty or thirty meters away.

Su Xun walked in front, constantly casting defensive spells on himself, with the spear in his hand ready to stab out at any time.

Seeing this, Walnut at the back twitched his mouth slightly, but didn't say much.

At the end of the front was a small space of about 30 square meters. The furnishings inside were simple, with only a stone bed, a stone table, and a few items on the table. It looked very simple.

However, sitting cross-legged on the stone bed was a man wearing a black robe, with a hunched body and a pale face.

He closed his eyes tightly, showed no reaction to the two people's arrival, lowered his head and said nothing, like a corpse.

No, he was a corpse! Because he no longer had any breath of life, and his whole body was filled with a heavy smell of death.

Su Xun and Hu Tao looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They approached the stone bed cautiously, watching the movements of the man in black robe vigilantly.

Even though he was already dead, they still didn't dare to take it lightly, as they didn't know if this was some kind of trap.

"He's dead." Walnut whispered, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Dead?" Su Xun frowned and gently lifted the hood of the man in black robe with his spear.

His face was as pale as paper, with no sign of life.

"It looks like he is dead, but how did he die? Was it the backlash of the ritual?"

Walnut walked over and examined the items on the stone table, where there were several tattered books and some strange rune materials.

She flipped through the books, and her expression suddenly changed: "These books..."

"What's wrong?" Su Xun asked immediately.

"These are forbidden knowledge about the ancient demon gods!" Walnut raised his head, with shock in his eyes.

"This person is not only trying to awaken the remnants of the demon gods, but is also studying how to control them!"

When Su Xun heard Hu Tao's words, he was shocked and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

If this person really has mastered the method of controlling the remaining thoughts of the demon god, then the threat he poses to Liyue will be far beyond their imagination.
