Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler

Xiao's appearance was just as Gu Chen expected, but it actually scared Paimeng.

The two turned around and looked at Xiao behind them. Paimeng was a little caught off guard:

"Wow! How did this immortal appear and disappear like a ghost?!"

Gu Chen smiled and took the initiative to greet:

"Great Sage who conquers demons, I have long heard of your great name."

Xiao kept staring at Gu Chen.

Moreover, this immortal who was not very good at socializing said something that no one expected at the beginning:

"Since this morning, I've sensed that something inhuman has entered the Wangshu Inn. I imagine you are that inhuman being, right?"

"Inhuman things?"

Gu Chen was a little stunned and pointed at himself:

"The Demon-Subduing Great Sage is talking about me?"

Xiao nodded first, then shook his head:

“Sorry, that’s not accurate.

You have both human and inhuman breath.

There is no need to say much about the human breath, but the non-human breath is higher than that of humans, and even seems to be higher than that of gods.

I have never seen anything like you before, and it is truly puzzling."

Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled:

"That's it.

It is understandable that the Demon-Subduing Sage has never seen it. At least on the continent of Teyvat, my situation is unique.

As for me, I am both a human being and a light.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be a life form of light."

"Life form of light..."

After thinking for a while, Xiao nodded:

"Very fitting. The power within you is indeed bright and blazing."

After finishing speaking, Xiao said directly with a cold expression:

"What's the matter with me?"

Gu Chen did not directly explain his purpose, but just smiled and handed over the almond tofu in his hand:

"This is a meeting gift, I hope the Demon Subduing Great Sage will accept it."

Xiao didn't want to accept the kindness of strangers.

But almond tofu is indeed one of the few things that Xiao loves, and the aura of Gu Chen makes him feel comfortable.

After thinking it over again and again, Xiao decided to accept it.

Under the gaze of Paimeng beside him, he took the plate of almond tofu, and then looked at Gu Chen quietly.

The meaning is very clear, what do you want from me?

Paimon shook his head, not knowing what to say.

She thought to herself that this immortal was really unsociable and out of touch with worldly matters.

Is this only true for this immortal, or are all immortals like this?

Gu Chen knew Xiao's character, but he didn't care and spoke frankly:

“To be honest with the Demon Subduing Great Sage, I am quite powerful as well.

Today I traveled here with my friends and felt the rare aura of immortals.

However, this otherworldly immortal aura was mixed with an ominous force.

Before I saw the Demon-Subduing Great Sage, it wasn't clear to me, but now that I've seen him, I'm absolutely certain...

Great Sage Subduing Demons, it seems that you are plagued by karma, and the concentration of karma has reached a very dangerous level.

If things get any worse, you might become possessed."

The word "possessed by the devil" scared Paimeng to death.

Paimon leaned forward, stunned:

"Huh!? Possessed? Is it that serious?

Also, what is karma? It sounds so serious!"

Looking at Paimeng, Gu Chen explained briefly and considerately:

“Karma…

You can understand it as the various negative emotions such as resentment left behind after the demon or powerful evil spirit is eliminated.

These negative emotions are extremely strong and lasting.

They hold an extreme hatred for the person who killed them, and from then on, they haunt that person, whispering incessantly in their ears and torturing their spirit until they completely collapse.

"So terrible!"

Paimeng was terrified and looked at Xiao with concern:

"If that's the case, then this immortal is very dangerous, right?

Is there really the possibility of demonic possession as you just mentioned!?"

Gu Chen nodded seriously:

“This possibility is indeed not small.

The Great Sage who subdues demons is from the Yaksha clan.

This tribe is very good at fighting and killing, and usually gets involved in endless killing karma. As a result, they are often haunted by karma and eventually collapse and go crazy.

As far as I know, of the four brothers and sisters of the Great Sage Conquering Demons, it seems that at least three of them died madly due to the outbreak of karma."

After saying that, Gu Chen looked at Xiao seriously:

"Great Sage Subduing Demons, your situation is not optimistic."

When Gu Chen was talking about these things, Xiao kept turning his body to the side, looking unwilling to face it.

After listening to Gu Chen's story, he looked cold and indifferent:

"Thank you for your kindness, I think I can still hold on.

Moreover, thanks to a certain existence, some of my karma has been suppressed, and now I feel okay."

Gu Chen smiled again:

"Wendy's flute can indeed calm people's minds, but this kind of suppression is only a temporary solution, isn't it?"

Paimon next to him was shocked again:

"Huh!? Wendy!?

Did Wendy help the Demon-Subduing Great Sage before? When did he come to Liyue?

Hearing the word "Vendy", Xiao turned around with some confusion.

Gu Chen immediately explained:

"Oh, Wendy is the name of the wind god in the secular world."

Now Xiao had to be serious:

"Traveler, you seem to know a lot of things.

Whether it's my brothers and sisters or the title of Wind God, these are not secrets that ordinary people can know."

Gu Chen spread his hands:

"I'm not an ordinary person, am I?

Besides, Wendy is my friend and we just traveled from Montreal."

This reason seemed to convince Xiao to a certain extent.

Xiao looked at Gu Chen again and nodded in approval:

"Well, yes, you are indeed extraordinary.

Your strength is so unfathomable that I can't even see it clearly.

Your character and the essence of your life seem to have reached the level of an emperor, which makes me look up to you.

Besides, you call yourself a traveler, so you are from another world? It's not surprising that you have all kinds of magical things about you."

Having said that, Xiao turned sideways again:

"But I still say that, I appreciate your kindness.

I know better than anyone how difficult karma is.

Even the mighty God of Wind could only suppress it but could not eradicate it.

You'd better not bother with me, I... am not worth it."

The three words "not worth it" made Paimeng sad and crazy:

"What do you mean by not worth it? Do you really want to become a demon?!"

Xiao's tone was firm, and his attitude was even more resolute:

"If that day ever comes, before I completely go crazy, in order to avoid harming innocent people, I will find a way to commit suicide to thank the world!

Or, you can ask the Emperor to execute me, so that I don't go crazy and cause endless trouble."

Paimon was about to cry:

"Hey! You immortal... why are you like this? Isn't there a better way to keep you alive?"

After struggling for a while, Paimeng looked at Gu Chen for help:

"Gu Chen, he is so pessimistic about his future!

I can't persuade this immortal! Please try to persuade him quickly!"

Looking at Xiao's resolute back, Gu Chen sighed in his heart.

This guy is really driving people crazy.

However, we can't blame Xiao for his aloof personality.

After all, a large part of his personality is caused by his experiences.
