Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Sue, whose handcuffs had been removed, stared at Leosley sitting opposite her with a dark expression.

He closed his eyes patiently when he noticed the sweat beading on his forehead from the excruciating pain and the wet hair from the medicine used to wash his wounds.

She hated Leosley's completely unannounced "improvisational performance"!

But considering their consistently good relationship, I'll give him one last chance!

"explain."

Leosley sat up straight, sensing something from the girl's single word.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” Leosley apologized sincerely first, and then explained the reason, “It’s just that I’m used to it… going with the flow, I didn’t mean to make everyone worry.”

Sue's expression remained cold and hard. "Continue."

Leosley placed his hands on his knees and continued to confess honestly.

“Melo Petersburg received a large number of seriously injured people who had lost their mobility for unknown reasons. What they had in common was that they were either members of the Bridle Hat Society or had been recruited by the Bridle Hat Society.”

“My intuition is that Duguirre, the president of the Bridle Hat Society, is behind this, but I haven’t found any substantial evidence or his tools.”

“I had a brief encounter and confrontation with Duguirre before, and I am certain that he is a treacherous, vicious and unscrupulous person.”

“Those increasingly more ‘seriously ill and wounded’ patients, whom even Siegwen couldn’t handle, were hostages created by Duguirre.”

"Defeating Duguirre is easy, but getting his biggest trump card out of him is very difficult."

"So you're just going to experience it for yourself and find the answer yourself?" Su exhaled heavily through his nose. "Reckless!"

Hearing that the girl was finally willing to speak in a longer sentence to him, Leosley secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the alarm had been lifted.

"Su, your criticism is correct. I will pay more attention next time."

Seeing Leosley bow his head and admit his mistake, Su suddenly felt a surge of joy, like training a large pet.

No, no, no! Leosley is human!

Sora was more concerned about the transparent black needle that had been removed from Leosley's head. "What exactly is that poison needle that can induce fear?"

He never imagined that such insidious hidden weapons existed in the world. For everyone's safety on their journey, he needs to learn more and take precautions.

Paimon: "Can that thing really induce fear? Leosley, what did you see? Blood? Monsters? Apocalyptic scene?"

"We'll have to wait for the head nurse's test results to know the specifics of the poisoned needle. As for what I saw..."

Leosley said casually, "It's just some painful memories from the past."

"Speak." Sue tossed a towel to Leosley.

They were clearly in so much pain just now, and now they're saying "it's just" and "that's all"? Who are they trying to fool?

To help a wound heal quickly, it's important to clean the wound and squeeze out any pus and blood promptly.

Learning from the lone wolf of the night to lick its wounds alone is a dead end!

Why are you only saying one word again?

Leosley helplessly grabbed a towel, wiping his face as he calmly recounted his past.

While still a child, Leosley accidentally discovers that his parents are selling their children. He is almost killed by his parents, but luckily manages to kill them in return.

Unable to face the sight of his loved ones' blood, Leosley fled. After wandering the streets for a while, he was arrested as a juvenile offender and brought to court.

“My case caused a great sensation at the time, and was ultimately tried by the Supreme Court himself.”

Only cases that are extremely egregious, have a huge impact, or are highly controversial will be brought before the Supreme Court.

Paimon never expected Leosley's past to be like this!

"Why..." she asked, her voice trembling.

Leosley: "Well... because patricide has always been a serious crime, and for a child to kill two adults, even with an element of luck, still counts as a strong intent to commit a crime and excessive self-defense."

He acknowledged his past sins and, like Mr. Watling, never harbored any resentment towards Navelette.

“Paimon isn’t asking that,” Sue said, wiping Paimon’s face as tears streamed down her face. “She doesn’t understand why there are such disgusting parents in the world.”

Leosley said, "Because they are not real fathers or mothers, they are 'businessmen'."

The official orphanages in Fontainebleau that adopted and raised orphans were closed down hundreds of years ago and have never been able to truly reopen.

The government's final solution is to encourage families to adopt abandoned babies and orphans through tax cuts and funding.

This move brought warmth to many abandoned babies and orphans, but to those with ulterior motives, it became a highly profitable "business."

They adopt large numbers of abandoned babies and orphans, earning money from government departments for living expenses that should have been used entirely for the children's welfare.

Finally, those children who were raised on handouts and sometimes starved were rented or sold to buyers in need.

Those who were naturally strong were sent to fight in underground boxing matches for gangs, the weak were sent to be unpaid "apprentices," and the beautiful...

Leosley turned the conversation back to himself, "Later I found the files that traced my identity and discovered that I was also an abandoned baby adopted by them."

The questions that had been buried deep in my heart suddenly became clear at that moment, and I even felt a sense of relief.

He doesn't have the same dirty blood as them flowing in his veins, so he never has to worry about becoming like them.

Kong sighed heavily, having gained a better understanding of Leosley and developed a greater respect for him.

Throughout his journey—no, throughout his struggle to this point—Leosley has never given up on himself, not even for a moment.

Leosley recalled what he felt after being poisoned by the needle.

It was every beating I suffered as a child, every bout of hunger and cold I endured, the breakdown on the day I murdered my parents, and the intense guilt that followed for many years.

If one is constantly bombarded by all the pain experienced in their past life, even the most resilient person will be completely destroyed.

With such a dangerous concealed weapon in hand, it's no wonder that Dujiye is so confident, and it's also no wonder that all the members of the Bridle Hat Society are terrified of him, not daring to utter a single word.

Even as he experienced excruciating mental and physical pain, his reason kept reminding him that he was no longer the weak and helpless child he once was.

He gained the ability to resist, and he succeeded in resisting countless times.

He had a body that had been rigorously trained and bore the marks of battle.

He is incredibly strong now, and he is holding a young girl in his arms; he cannot hurt her.

Leosley smiled at the girl, "Thank you for being with me today. With you all here, everything is alright."

Su gave a forced smile, "But I don't feel too good."

If you're angry, you need to let it out.

The girl's long, black hair cascaded down her back, and a single strand fell silently.

The black silk threads flowed into the earth's veins like snakes, rapidly wrapping around two souls that were being beaten by a group of children.

The soul, crouching in defensive posture with its head in its hands, felt excruciating pain and was horrified to find itself being crushed inch by inch by an invisible hammer.

'Ah! Ah—'

The piercing screams only ceased when the two souls were completely annihilated.
