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

"Uh...this..."

Diluc took a deep breath and said:

“I know your concerns, and I am very grateful for your concern. However, there are many things more important than life, like this matter, which is worth risking my life for. As your older brother, I have the right to know no matter what.”

Diluc looked at the pensive Venti:

"Let's go, Lord Wind God, it's time for us to set off."

……

"Ruola" who has always stayed in Yuhuan:

"???!!!"

Wendy, I didn't know you could do this?

Jiang Mumu, who had assumed her part would soon be sent to the afterlife, had already planned to return Ruola to her original body after they were sent there. However, she never expected Barbatos to have such a move...

Thinking of this, Jiang Mumu immediately became excited. She had originally planned to let Ruola take her final bow, but since that's the case—

hey-hey…

On the last day of her life, she wants to see her good friends, is that alright?

Is it okay for her to cry out about the pain of being devoured by the abyss?

Is it okay if she wants to see the sunrise but can't?

You guys probably won't care if I take Klee to fry fish, right?

……

P.S.: Thank you for the gift.

Chapter 61 Player: I'm so heartbroken!!!

Liyue Harbor.

In this familiar place, Zhongli listened to Tian Tiezui recount the history of Liyue, occasionally sipping a cup of hot tea.

"Zhongli, Zhongli, so you really are here! That's great! We have something very, very important that we need your help with!"

The voices reached Zhongli's ears even before the Paimons arrived.

Zhongli made a "shh" gesture, stood up, and gestured to Ying and Paimeng, who had rushed over, to go outside and talk.

"Why are you two in such a hurry? Have you encountered some difficulties?"

Ying briefly explained Ruola's situation to Zhongli, and then told Zhongli about Wendy's request.

"I see. This is not difficult. Since that guy has such a plan, we should still help him out."

Yingchao Zhongli bowed deeply:

"Thank you so much, Zhongli!"

"No need for that. Since it's an important matter, let's set off."

Paimon immediately reminded him:

"Zhongli, we need to wait for the street performer to arrive. Oh dear, I forgot he didn't tell us where to meet..."

Zhongli smiled gently:

"No need, he has already arrived. Just follow me closely."

Zhongli led Ying and Paimon to the outside of Liyue Harbor, and they arrived at the Seven Gods Statue of the Emperor.

Wendy, who had been waiting there, immediately came forward to greet them:

"Grandpa, thank you so much this time. You'll have to treat me to dinner later."

Zhongli's face immediately darkened.

Ying stepped in to smooth things over: "Ahem, well, let's talk about serious matters first..."

Diluc looked at Zhongli and knelt on one knee:

"Diluc of Mondstadt thanks the Emperor for his help."

He was also familiar with how Liyue addressed the gods.

Zhongli helped Diluc up: "No need for formalities, but I hope you will keep my identity a secret."

Diluc nodded vigorously.

Wendy took out the jade ring and looked at Zhongli:

"Old man, please rebuild his physical body."

Zhongli nodded slightly, raised his right hand, and many rock crystals appeared out of thin air. These rock crystals immediately piled up together, compressed, and shaped, and the shaping was completed in a short time.

Suddenly, a living, clothed Nora appeared.

Paimon stomped his feet excitedly:

"Nora, it's Nora, traveler, look!"

Ying covered Paimon's mouth, wondering if speaking now would disturb Zhongli and the others. It was best for Paimon to keep quiet for now.

Diluc was also excited, but he restrained himself, his eyes fixed on Nora.

Wendy carefully extracted Nora's soul from the jade ring, used her divine power to slowly solidify it, and then put it into the reconstructed body.

Apart from Paimon, everyone present heard a heartbeat that started from nothing, and... the sound of breathing that began to appear slowly.

Diluc nervously clutched the hem of his clothes, Ying stared intently, and Paimon's face contorted with surprise.

……

The world of players.

[Haha, the last day, huh? So that's what it means, hahaha!]

[Never mind, I'm not the only one with the knife. I need to go do my mission. It's the last day, I should spend some quality time with my Ruola, shouldn't I?]

I'm already content to see Nora in the game again; at least I know her departure won't be so painful anymore...

[Hehe, upstairs, you seem to have forgotten what Wendy said: being devoured by the Abyss is incredibly painful, and Nora's soul is only one-tenth of its original size!]

Stop cutting him, the child will become mentally impaired...

Chen Xiyao was already pouting; all that was needed was a trigger.

The live stream was also filled with comments teasing her.

"Ha, you people, who knows how much you're crying your eyes out behind my screen when I can't see you, and you still dare to laugh at me?"

No sooner had she uttered a rebuttal than Nora on the screen woke up.

When Chen Xiyao heard Ruola bursting into tears in her grandfather's arms, she could no longer hold back.

"Waaaaah, damn it, I wasn't crying, I just got sand in my eyes, waaaaah~"

……

Teyvat, beneath the Statue of the Seven.

Nora opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and fear, like a wounded little animal cautiously surveying her surroundings.

Only after realizing that everyone was familiar did the fear in Nora's eyes slowly fade away.

Finally, Nora's gaze fell on Diluc. The moment their eyes met, she seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and she threw herself into Diluc's arms and burst into tears.

"Wow wow~"

Diluc, with red eyes and tears streaming down his face, hugged his sister tightly.

"Don't cry, Nora, your brother is here, Lord Barbatos is here, and so are the Geo Archon, Luminos, and Paimon from Liyue. Don't be afraid, it's alright now, no one will hurt you anymore!"

Diluc's attempts to comfort her were useless; Nora still collapsed into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

The louder and sadder she cried, the more she cried.

Paimon was caught up in the emotions and started crying too.

Ying quietly wiped away her tears.

Wendy looked up and stared blankly at the clouds in the sky.

Zhong Li shook his head and left quietly.

After crying for a while, Ruola gradually calmed down.

"Brother, it hurts so much, it's so painful. It feels like so many things are biting me. I want to fight back but I can't. I want to die but I can't. Waaah, brother~"

"I thought I would always be like that, always be tormented like that, boohoo, brother, I've finally seen you again!"

Nora continued to recount her experiences during this period, describing how much pain she had endured, tears streaming down her face.

Diluc held Nora in his arms, his tears falling even more and faster than Nora's, his eyes bloodshot.

Every tear Jora shed was like a sharp knife ripping a piece out of his heart.

This is his little sister whom he's doted on since childhood! Why does she have to suffer like this?!

With red eyes, Ying found a rock to sit on, her hatred for malice and for the abyss growing stronger.

Even little Paimon clenched his little fists and waved them a few times in the air.

The wind around them grew particularly noisy, and Barbatos's murderous intent intensified.

……

The world of players.

Chen Xiyao was sobbing uncontrollably, and there was a pile of crumpled paper on the table.

The comments section was filled with sighs and lamentations.

All the comments teasing the streamer disappeared.

【Nora, don't cry, if you cry, I'll cry too...】

[Wow, playing a game actually cured my years-long dry eye syndrome!]

[Beasts! Absolutely beasts! How could they lay a hand on a little angel like Nora? The Abyss is a pack of beasts!]

Grandpa is about to break down; even I'm scared of the look in his eyes…

[That damn mihy, another day of cursing you!]

[Waaaaah, I'm so heartbroken!!!]

[I'm over forty and still playing this game. Ruola really reminds me of one of my daughters. It makes me cry so much.]

[Father-in-law, Father-in-law, look at me! Do you have any tissues? Would you like me to bring you a pack?!]

【…】

Chapter 62 May You Have No Regrets

Liyue, beneath the statue of the Emperor.

Nora sobbed in her brother's arms for a long time before finally calming down.

"Brother, how long can I stay in this state?"

She is already dead, and her current appearance here in this state must be due to the power of the two gods.

Diluc opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

He couldn't bring himself to say that there was only one day left, and he didn't dare to look at his sister's expression after she found out.

"Nora, you have only one day left. On this last day, do whatever you want to do, and leave without regrets."

Wendy said those words; of the people present, he was the most suitable.

Although Ying and Paimon are Nora's good friends, they are still outsiders, having only met Nora a few months ago.

Needless to say, it would be too cruel to make Diluc say those words himself.

After Wendy finished speaking, everyone present was secretly observing Nora's expression.
