Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

······

West Wind Cathedral.

After Nora's body was carried back to Mondstadt, the sacred wind god disappeared.

Wendy reappears in a depressed state.

"Nora, how could this happen?"

Barbara stepped forward in disbelief and tried to treat Ruola, but her body had already gone cold. Even the Wind God was helpless against it, so how could she possibly save it?

After failing to get results, Barbara's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Nora, sob sob..."

Qin helped Barbara up and hugged her.

Barbara cried on her sister's shoulder, and soon her tears soaked Qin's shoulder.

Qin simply lowered her head and gently patted Barbara's back.

On the other side, Paimon also threw himself into Ying's arms, crying uncontrollably.

This was the first time little Paimon had encountered something like this, and it had a tremendous impact on her young mind.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah, ahhh... Traveler, I'm so sad, I miss Nora so much, waaaaah~"

Ying comforted Paimon just as Qin had comforted Barbara, gently patting the little one's back to soothe her.

At the back of the crowd, little Keli stood helplessly.

A hand gently patted her right shoulder. Klee turned around stiffly and called out:

“Abedo…brother.”

Seeing Abedo, Cleo seemed to have found someone to rely on, and she opened her arms and wrapped them around Abedo's neck.

Seeing the once lively little Klee transformed into this state, Abedo couldn't bear it and gently embraced Klee's small body.

"Brother Abedo, Sister Ruola, waah..."

I promised to go fishing with Klee, but Nora is a big liar!

In Abedo's memory, little Cleo really didn't cry much. At most, she would feel a little wronged, but she would be full of energy again the next day.

"Ah~"

Abedo carried Keli away and went to comfort her.

Jora's body was covered with a white sheet, and Archbishop Simon personally presided over her funeral. The nuns prayed for her, hoping that the wind god would carry her soul back to Mondstadt.

Wendy listened silently.

After deliberation, Jean, representing the Knights of Favonius, officially approved Nora's application to join the Knights of Favonius, and announced to all of Mondstadt Nora's heroic sacrifice as a Knight of Favonius in the fight against the monsters of the abyss.

Diluc had no objection to this.

This is what his sister has always wanted; all he can think about now is his sister asking him if he is strong!

Nora longed to prove herself to him, and she did.

However, this kind of proof was not what he wanted to see...

······

late at night.

West Wind Cathedral.

Nora's body lay there quietly. Barbara washed and dressed her, Kaeya sealed her with a piece of ice, and Diluc finally covered her with a white sheet.

Only Wendy, Diluc, and Kaeya remained in the vast church.

The nuns who were originally here were also called away by Archbishop Simon.

"You should go back and rest."

Wendy said to Diluc and Kaya.

A day and a night have passed since Ruola's sacrifice, and in a few more hours it will be two nights.

Diluc stayed by Nora's side the whole time, and Kaeya, worried about his sworn brother, stayed there with him as well.

Diluc remained silent, his eyes lifeless.

Wendy sighed silently; Nora's sacrifice had hit her harder than anyone else.

Footsteps suddenly echoed in the silent church.

Kaya and Wendy looked in the direction of the sound.

She was a woman with white hair, wearing a fitted black robe.

The woman walked up to Ruola and stood silently for a long time.

Mu Qingge gently lifted the white cloth, and Kaiya and the others did not stop her.

She hugged the ice cube and pressed her face against it: "Goodbye, Nora."

"You are, Liyue's Kaiyang?"

"I am just Nora's friend now."

With a sorrowful expression, Mu Qingge stood before Kaiya and the others.

“I’ve learned everything that happened in Mondstadt from Master Jean. Nora is my friend, so her business is my business. I will find that guy, kill him, and avenge Nora!”

After saying that, Mu Qingge left.

After she left, the church fell silent again.

After a long while, Diluc finally stopped having that blank expression and slowly stood up, his body slightly unsteady.

"This is my sister. If anyone should seek revenge, it should be me!"

Diluc limped out of the church.

"Kaya, I'm entrusting Nora to you. Bury her in the cemetery. This child loves company and can't stand being alone. I'll kill it and then come back to pay my respects to Nora!"

"Diluc, stop right there!"

Diluc didn't stop, and Kaeya was about to rush after him, but Venti stopped him.

“Let him go. I’ll keep an eye on him. He’ll be fine. That’s the only thing that’s keeping him going right now.”

Chapter 52 The Dark Messenger

In Nora's room at Dawn Winery.

This was the fourth time that Head Maid Adeline had cleaned the place. She didn't ask anyone else to help; she did it all by herself, wiping the already spotless ornaments again and again.

Adeline had been working here since Nora was very young. She watched Nora grow up little by little and become more and more beautiful.

At that time, Diluc didn't know how to take care of girls, so she did most of the work.

In Adeline's mind, Nora was more than just the young lady of her employer's family.

Adeline had already prepared the ingredients for many of her favorite foods, just waiting for her to come back and cook them for her.

But now, there's no chance anymore...

She had just returned from Mondstadt yesterday, and she would unconsciously come to Nora's room to clean for her.

Adeline's gaze suddenly fell on a framed photograph on Nora's bedside table. It was a drawing Nora had made when she was ten years old, depicting Lord Cripps, Diluc, and Nora.

The painting wasn't perfect, but Lord Diluc and Miss Nora liked it very much, so Lord Diluc framed it and placed it in Nora's bedroom.

Adeline stroked the painting, sighing inwardly.

What a wonderful person she was! Why did fate have to play such a cruel trick on her?

"Nora, I hope you're happy over there, eating well and sleeping well..."

Adeline suddenly heard a noise coming from downstairs, so she put down the picture frame and went down.

"Lord Diluc, you're back?"

"Have you been without rest?"

"Can't sleep."

Dawn was approaching, but Adeline felt no sleepiness at all.

"Lord Diluc hasn't eaten yet, has he? I'll go prepare it right away."

"No need, you should go and rest."

Adeline didn't leave. Looking at Diluc's haggard appearance, she finally couldn't help but speak:

“Lord Diluc, I think Nora certainly wouldn’t want to see you like this either.”

Diluc paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that when he used to stay up late, Nora would come over and urge him to go to sleep, always saying that going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health.

"I understand, go and rest..."

Seeing that Diluc had truly taken her words to heart, Adeline left the area.

After Adeline left, Diluc took a shower and then, as Nora had suggested, went to sleep.

When Diluc woke up again, it was already night; he had slept for a whole day.

After a quick wash, Diluc summoned Adeline, Eze, Connor, and others, entrusting them with full control of the winery's business. These were all long-time employees of Diluc, whom he trusted.

"Lord Diluc, where are you going?"

"You don't need to worry about it, just do what I tell you to do."

After Diluc left, the group exchanged glances, and finally Adeline spoke:

"Let's do as the master says. Miss's departure has been a great blow to Master Diluc. We just need to do our job well."

······

Diluc arrived at the cellar.

This is his other cellar, not the one that Nora emptied.

Looking at these precious wines that he once valued, Diluc was indeed thinking that if Nora could come back to life, he could find as many wines as she wanted for her!

Diluc pulled a box from the corner, opened it, and inside was a set of clothes, bright red.

Crimson red all night long!

Diluc changed his usual easy-to-manage low ponytail into a high ponytail that was more convenient for movement, and with the Crimson Night outfit, he looked like a messenger of the night.

He hung his sister's Eye of God on another part of his waist and left Dawn Winery as night fell, embarking on a road with an uncertain future.

This trip will either result in a malicious death or a permanent one!

······

Meanwhile, in the player world.

The official Genshin Impact website, which rarely releases information, suddenly posted a message along with a character illustration.

It is an image of Diluc dressed in crimson robes and wielding the Wolf's Gravestone.

Once the image was posted, it quickly garnered over a million views.

Simply because, below this character illustration, there are a few lines of smaller text:

His sister was harmed by the abyss, and he finally stopped compromising. He put on this outfit and became a messenger of the night, determined to avenge his sister!

Netizens who were already being attacked by Ruola for her savage attitude towards mihy immediately switched their focus upon seeing this picture, and all flocked to the comments section to discuss it.

Don't think I'll forgive you just like that! Give me back my Jura!!!

[Brother-in-law, go! You must avenge Ruola and wipe out that bastard!]

[Grandpa is so handsome! Forgive me for misjudging him before.]

[I knew it! Diluc couldn't have remained completely still after Norra's death, given how devastated he was. And now he's finally here!]

【Alright, I'm going to use this skin to kill that bastard!!!】
