Genshin Impact: After entering the card pool, I kicked away the knife and stabbed myself

"So, Luo, why did you call us over here?"

"Today, Xu Tan told you about seeds, right?"

"Hmm," Paimon looked at the soldiers who were fighting not far away and said, "Have they all gained power now?"

"That's right. Now the seeds I gave them through Xu Tan have sprouted. These ghosts from the past are no longer considered human. In other words, they have not been resurrected, but..."

[Ah? I am no longer a human being? ]

[Resurrected, but not completely resurrected]

Luo Wei didn't finish the rest of her words, but Ying and Boyang both understood what she meant.

Only Paimon didn't understand, and was still asking: "What? And what?"

Luo ignored her, smiled meaningfully, and said to Boyang: "Boyang, you are a smart man."

"You are the "survivors" of war, and the name of survivors is often "unfortunate". The gods in the sky play chess with humans and the stars, leaving behind a land of lonely graves and piles of bones... Have you ever thought about making them pay the price?"

!

Boyang closed his eyes and thought of his daughter, his wife, his brother...

But that was a player that even the emperor had to include in the chess game. How could a mere mortal like him compete with him?

He took a deep breath and let it out again: "Every moment. But how can a speck of dust like us escape from the chess game that becomes the price?"

Luo chuckled and said, "Haha~ You know, walking alone with a staff, earthworms conquering dragons... the ones that can leave generals helpless are always those nameless pawns."

【With human form, one can defeat the gods by half a step! 】

[I'm going to take Liyue to the Sky Island]

Luo slowly stretched out her right hand. In the palm of her hand, delicate and mysterious black lines seemed to be awakened by an invisible force and began to flow slowly, like a winding river in the night.

Not only do these lines flow, they also gradually converge and interweave, eventually forming a complex and delicate pattern - an object shaped like an ancient tree quietly taking shape in Luo's palm.

This tree-shaped object is not a physical entity, but is woven from pure energy and will. It emits a faint glow and reveals a sickening smell.

"This is," Luo's voice was low and powerful, "a key."

After that, Luo handed the black tree-shaped key containing endless mysteries to Boyang standing in front of her. The moment the key touched Boyang's palm, the three-dimensional and vivid black tree seemed to have met its long-lost home. It instantly turned into strands of black lines and merged into Boyang's skin again, just like the lines on Luo's palm before, but this time, they were shining inside Boyang's body.

"The key to completely freeing them from the state of concentration caused by Master Hu's enlightenment and persuasion, and revealing their true attitude."

[Ah? The real appearance? ]

[Senmo means, they are all not human anymore? 】

[It turns out that it was Luo's plan that Kurumi would go and enlighten them.]

"Lord Xuzhuo, what... do you mean?" Such a horrible thing was flowing slowly through Boyang's skin, but he did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt a little cheered.

But his past experiences and cognition told him that from the perspective of universal rationality, this did not seem to be a good thing.

Paimon, who was standing by, also felt quite uncomfortable when he saw this scene: "Ugh! Such a disgusting feeling."

"Get used to it. This power is like this. I don't like it very much."

Luo tapped the tree-shaped key in Boyang's skin, and the black lines covering Boyang's entire arm suddenly shrank and became the size of only a fingertip.

Luo continued, "You and Fushe were sealed in the Taiweiyi Disk, which preserved your souls from being eroded, so I was able to bring you back intact. But they, without the protection of the Taiweiyi Disk, experienced too much torture in that underground palace..."

Bo Yang's pupils shrank. If...if...

"If I resurrect them directly, even if I erase their memories of the past five hundred years, their hatred and resentment cannot be easily suppressed by their human bodies."

"so……"

"Yes, they are not resurrected, but are just evil spirits in the same skin as they were in life."

"Ah!" Paimon screamed.

[Oh my god, telling ghost stories on New Year’s Day]

【Isn't this right? 】

[So the abnormalities that Hu Lan discovered about herself were not due to Luo's blessing, but rather the ability that was suppressed by Luo breaking through the limit? ]

“How could this happen…” Boyang’s legs went limp and he fell to his knees.

He is the one who let his brothers down!

When Luo spoke of this sad and horrifying fact, her expression did not change. She seemed not to have noticed Bo Yang kneeling down, and continued, "I intentionally asked Hu Tao to persuade them because Hu Tao is the only mortal in the world who can see the other world. Only with Hu Tao's recognition can they walk normally in this world."

"That seed is a shackle, but also a place of peace. But I can't hide it from them forever. After all, humans have a limited lifespan, but ghosts don't."

"Normal ghosts would go to the other world on their own after their obsessions were resolved, but they won't. That underground palace granted them eternal life and immortality, and even gave them the ability to travel through time and space without being affected too much."

"When the time is right, I need you to use this key to unlock their shackles and let them know the truth."

【Key Points: Traveling through time and space】

[I am so immortal, how can that underground palace be so awesome? ]

Paimon asked with worry in his eyes: "When the time is right... when do you mean?"

"Maybe you still have a chance to go back five hundred years? But maybe it won't be what you expect." Luo didn't reveal it directly, but after all, it would be good if he could see his former family.

Boyang was silent for a long time, then he said in a hoarse voice: "I will."

Suddenly, Boyang asked: "Then, Lord Xuzhuo...what is your purpose?"

"You guys owe me a favor. So, I want you to do me a favor."

"What is it?"

“If Ying asks you for something in the future, you must agree to her request. Even if her request seems to be detrimental to Liyue, you need to listen to her explanation before making a decision.”

"it is good."

Hey, I borrowed some words from Miss Tingyun and Yukong from Bengtie, because it feels really appropriate

And it lays the groundwork for Luo's plot. Although it seems strange to mention this in the New Year, please understand this unreasonable part.
