Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Sue turned her head to look at the piece of paper in Leosley's hand.

The note said he would never run away again.

We guarantee to carry out any orders issued by Lord Dugier.

We guarantee to actively expose any behavior by group members that may affect unity.

The final signature was not a signature but a handprint, and the ink was made from dried blood.

Su said indifferently, "Another beast."

There's definitely something special about Fontainebleau.

I suggest that Navelette perform a purification ritual.

Kong took the piece of paper and judged from the messy handwriting that the person who wrote the guarantee was in extreme pain at the time.

When the pain becomes so intense that the muscles cannot control it, involuntary spasms or tremors occur, resulting in distorted handwriting.

Kong looked at the two hostages whose limbs were twisted and whose muscles were twitching wildly.

Just like they are now.

We need to carry out rescue operations immediately.

Sora and Leosley exchanged a glance, and Leosley nodded slightly.

Thinking he had the situation under control, Dugier arrogantly shouted, "Put all your weapons and the Eye of God on the ground!"

Dugier looked at the gorgeous and elegant necklace around the girl's neck, his heart filled with jealousy and resentment.

"The Eye of God... the favored ones watched over by the gods, it was you who brought them the weapons!"

Paimon seemed to want to say something but hesitated, his heart full of complaints but he didn't know where to begin.

A thousand words welled up inside me, condensing into a sigh: "It seems you really don't recognize us."

Su's Eye of God is not a true Eye of God at all; it has no storage function other than elemental power.

Su and Kong do not need the Eye of God to take out weapons and use elemental power.

Even without weapons, Su, Kong, and Leosley could beat Dugiye.

Completely oblivious to the disparity in strength between the two sides, Duguirre pulled the safety, pointed the gun at the hostage's temple, and yelled, "Hurry up!"

Kong planted the weapon in the ground not far away, then retreated to his original spot empty-handed.

"You!" Dugier turned his gun and pointed it at Sue. "Take off the necklace and throw it over here!"

Sue crossed her arms. "Leosley." She was fed up. If Leosley didn't get serious, she'd take him down herself!

Hearing the girl call his name in a low, displeased voice, Leosley decisively rushed towards Duguirre.

"Bang bang bang!"

Before he could even turn his gun back, Duguirre was terrified and fired repeatedly at Leosley and Sue.

While rushing forward, Leosley precisely dodged all the bullets and punched Duguirre, sending him flying ten meters away.

Dizzy and seeing stars, Duguirre struggled to sit up, begging for mercy as he frantically glanced around.

Sora picked up the revolver in Duguirre's desperate and incredulous gaze, and then broke it in two.

Su Qingpiao mocked, "Oh dear, in the end, the one who can't do anything without weapons is yourself."

Leosley wiped the blood off his fist. "Alright, Chairman Dugier, tell me honestly how you control other people's fears."

Master fear... Yes! Master fear!

He's the King of Nightmares! He hasn't lost yet!

As long as... as long as he can find a way to control Leosley, he can turn the tide!

"I...I confess! I'll tell you everything...I'll tell you the truth!"

Duguirre, whose voice was barely audible, suddenly sprang to life just as Leosley couldn't help but bend down to listen.

Leosley, who had taken a punch to the head from Duguirre, let out a suppressed groan.

At first, Sue thought Leosley was putting on an act again.

But soon, Su sensed that something was wrong with him.

Leosley hugged her too tightly, and after reaching a certain point, he forcibly controlled himself to let go.

The veins on his forehead and arms bulged, and his muscles trembled abnormally, as if he were enduring great pain.

"Leosley!" Sue jumped down, kicked Dugier away, and turned to help the young man who was in pain.

What is Leosley doing?! He can easily dodge bullets, but he can't dodge Duguirre's sneaky punch? Are you kidding me?!

"Leosley?" Kong and Paimon also ran over, helping Su, who was restrained by handcuffs, to support the young man and quickly checking his injuries.

Su raised her hand, ready to summon the healing water ring, but Kong reacted quickly and pressed her hand down.

Kong shook his head. "It's a poison needle! Healing techniques will allow the needle to heal within the body."

He figured Leosley probably knew that even if he defeated Duguirre, he wouldn't confess. So, in order to find out what had happened to the controlled prisoners, he simply chose to risk his own life.

"A poison needle?!" Paimon exclaimed anxiously, "Oh my god, pull it out quickly!"

"Hahaha, cough hahaha!" Even choking on the blood in his mouth didn't stop Dujiye from letting out a triumphant laugh.

"My specially made poison needles are covered with barbs, and any attempt to pull them out will only intensify the pain. Besides, it's useless; he's already under my control!"

His poison needles would cause the person struck to experience all the painful moments of their past life in an instant!

No matter how strong one's body or how firm one's will, no one has ever been able to escape his control after undergoing such discipline!

Leosley clenched his teeth, his pupils contracted and trembled, like a near-raging beast.

"Leosley! Kill them! Kill them and I'll give you the painkiller!"

Duguirre gave orders to Leosley, asking him to wait for his strongest warriors to help him resolve the current crisis and then help him take over the entire Mero Peterburg!

“Delusion!” Leosley maintained his sanity despite the pain, grabbing Duguirre’s head and lifting him up.

"If today... someone is destined to be destroyed, it's you!"

"Whoosh—" The anesthetic needle made a soft whistling sound as it pierced the back of Leosley's neck.

Leosley shook it twice, and the Duguirre he was carrying fell heavily to the ground.

"Higwen!" Paimon cried out as if he'd seen a savior. "Please save Leosley!"

——*——*——

With a clang, a transparent black poison needle with barbs at the tip fell onto the medical tray.

"Alright, the poison needle has been removed. The wound is very small and doesn't need stitches, but be careful not to let your head get wet or dirty recently."

After giving the doctor's orders, Siegfried looked at Leosley, intending to say a few words to him as a friend, colleague, and elder.

But remembering the many patients in the medical room waiting for her to test the poison needles and prepare the antidote, she could only postpone it until next time.

Watching Siegwen's hurried departure, Leosley rubbed his sore neck. "Phew—looks like I escaped unscathed today."

“I don’t think so…” Paimon gestured for Leosley to look at Sue, whose face was dark.

——*——*——

Spoilers for the plot:

The puppet will return.

[The Doctor] isn't completely dead, or even fully dead. He'll continue to cause trouble. The puppet has the chance to kill him with its own hands.

The Doctor conducted so many experiments in Nordkalley, and even our battle against the false god The Doctor was actually one of his experiments.

Columbia's birth may seem like a perfect cycle, but in reality, she had no choice but to willingly walk into the gilded cage of fate.

Teyvat's key points: 1. Everything is four.

2. The past, present, and future exist simultaneously.

They also like to use the narrative of saving the future from the past.

The future that humans and even gods strive for through hardship is actually planned out by the laws of nature long ago, forcing people to jump into their destiny.

But even the laws of nature cannot control the dark calamity; the predetermined fate can only be delayed, not saved. If fate cannot be completely broken, Teyvat will eventually perish.

The rebel (knocking on the loom of fate): Saved! Saved! A new destiny is being woven!

Finally, Nuonnota is indeed Columbia. (To be more precise, a fragment of Columbia's soul.)

The author already shared this speculation with readers on December 5th.
