Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

This led Manyo to wonder if the samurai who attacked the traveler was actually Ama-moku Yuya.

Tenmoku Juju objected, "What? Impossible, impossible! Yuya is definitely not that kind of person."

"He was both humble and kind, and he practiced martial arts to calm his mind; he never fought with others."

[Manyo pondered: "So that's how it is..."]

Oh, I see. If that's the case, then it's most likely him.

He's already set this flag; if it doesn't end up being him, then what's the point of setting it?

Unless you wash 'BaiLi' with laundry detergent and turn it into 'LiBai', no one will believe it.

It's a pity the Teyvats haven't seen Gintama, otherwise just seeing the close-up of that sword would make them speculate from the perspective of the person controlling the cursed sword.

Manyo and the traveler temporarily chose to believe and continue their investigation. They arrived at the Nagato residence, where they were greeted by Nagato's wife, Nagato Sachiko.

"I'm so sorry, but my family can't pay back the money right now..."

This statement reveals that the Nagato family's financial situation is not good, and they seem to have a lot of debt.

Her husband planned to sell his collection to pay off his debts.

As a result, a fire broke out in the warehouse, and it's possible that his collection and he himself were burned to ashes. It's heartbreaking to think about.

However, Sachiko Nagato is quite pretty in the illustrations, which makes Inazuma's readers think, 'Madam, you don't want your husband either...'

Well, not really. It's just that everyone thinks her husband may have met with some misfortune, so they feel sorry for her.

She's already pitiful enough as a widow; we can't let her live a life of widowhood, can we?

Kujo Sara, on the other hand, was much more normal. She imagined something different; she envisioned what would happen if her collection of the 'Statue of the Great Master Mikami' was burned...

Just thinking about Kujo Sara made my blood rush to my head. My brain went blank for a moment, and my vision went black, like a TV screen with no signal.

You should know that one of the 'Statue of the Great Master of the Imperial Guard' in her collection was actually a gift from the Shogun himself. If that were to be burned... Kujo Sara would want to kill someone.

I still remember that Lin Qiu and Shenzi hid to the side and took a lot of photos, capturing Sara's stiff and trembling hands, as well as her shy and timid expression.

She, who is usually very serious, rarely shows that kind of attitude, so the photo was naturally kept by the two foxes.

Kujo Sara had no objection to this, because the two of them had posted their photos next to Ray's movie photos and were happy again.

Chapter 800: Case Under Investigation

This Nagato loved collecting things, and at first, she was quite restrained.

But later, something happened, and Nagato's collecting hobby changed. He became very fond of collecting all kinds of swords, and his spending became increasingly extravagant and unrestrained.

Now that his family can no longer afford it, he has no choice but to sell some of his collection.

[Sachiko Nagato said, "He always excitedly showed me his collection. Although I couldn't understand it, seeing how excited and happy he was, I felt that it must be something he really, really liked."]

It's like a person who loves anime showing their girlfriend, who doesn't, their wall full of figurines.

Although she couldn't understand it, she still acted happy because her lover was happy.

This is something that makes some homebodies extremely envious. It's already hard for homebodies to find girlfriends, let alone one who loves them so much and is so devoted to them.

However, Nagato has let his wife down. He took out a loan to buy "figures," which led to the family's financial ruin and creditors coming to their door.

What's even worse is that when the creditors came to their house, Nagato himself was still admiring his collection in the warehouse, leaving Sachiko to face them alone.

Some readers were angry, feeling that Nagato was being far too irresponsible.

[Sachiko Nagato said, "I understand and support his hobby, but we still have to live our lives. I've told him this many times, but he just won't listen..."]

Everyone secretly cursed Nagato for being ungrateful, not appreciating such a good woman.

"So that day, I said some very harsh things... If he didn't sell his collection to pay off the debts, I would divorce him and leave this house with the children."

Many people support Sachiko; the divorce is a good thing, as this man is indeed not suitable for marriage.

Sachiko Nagato even felt a little guilty when she said this. She felt that she had put too much pressure on her husband, but if she didn't do this, the family really wouldn't be able to hold on.

What a kind person! Everyone can only praise Nagato Sachiko for her actions.

If it were a bad person, they would have run away with the family fortune long ago. Why would they offer kind words of advice? The fact that she is still trying to persuade you means that she doesn't want to give up on you or leave you.

Now, readers just hope that Nagato is really missing, or even dead, and that he didn't just abandon his wife and run away, otherwise they'll be furious.

Fortunately, Nagato himself wasn't a bad man. He didn't argue when he heard Sachiko's words, but simply said that he would choose some of his collection to sell.

[Sachiko Nagato: "His voice was weak and pitiful, and I felt a little soft-hearted at that moment. But what would happen to this family if I didn't do it?"]

She even blamed herself: "If I hadn't spoiled him, our family wouldn't be in this situation today."

"He's still a little angry, but as long as he's determined to repent, what can't be discussed amicably?"

The person who was just joking about 'Madam, you don't want to either...' now wanted to slap themselves.

What a wonderful woman! She's the kind of wife many would envy. Nagato, you'd better treat her well or you'll suffer the consequences.

Everyone was just thinking about it, but when they saw that Nagato actually met with misfortune, they felt very sad.

It's not that I feel sorry for Nagato, it's mainly because Nagato Sachiko is so pitiful.

I dare not put myself in Sachiko's shoes; if I did, it would be too despairing.

Her lover nearly died, her collection was burned, she's burdened with debt and has to raise a child—this is just too...desperate...

No one wanted Nagato Sachiko to wait so long only to receive this result. How was she supposed to accept it?

Fortunately, Nagato had not yet been bewitched by the demon sword at this moment. He was still watching the story normally, and he was even more moved when he saw his wife's words.

He does like collectibles, but none of them can compare to his love for his wife.

He made up his mind that he had to control his collecting desires to avoid the situation in the story from happening again.

In fact, in the story, he was bewitched by the demon sword, which is why he kept buying swords; he didn't actually have such a crazy collecting obsession.

Just like Sachiko said, things were fine at first, but she got more and more involved after she started collecting knives.

At first, Nagato never did anything beyond his financial means, nor did he take out loans. Everything changed after he was bewitched by the demon sword.

This clue is quite crucial; it reminds readers of the sword in the samurai's hand.

Was the close-up shot of that sword not because it looked cool, but because... it really was a demon sword? So that black aura wasn't a special effect after all?

At first, everyone thought that the black aura was a visual effect added by Abedo, but they didn't expect it to be real.

Why were the Traveler and Paimon so calm? Seeing a sword emanating black energy, they only felt something was slightly off? Just slightly?

For ordinary readers, the black aura is quite eye-catching, but for experienced travelers, a few special effects on a sword are nothing special.

But the traveler himself, who was reading the book at that moment, noticed the knife. It's always better to look at a story from an outsider's perspective than to think about it more comprehensively.

She wondered if that samurai was actually Yuya Tenmoku? Had he been bewitched by the demon sword?

It can only be said that Yingmei's prediction speed is a step slower than others, because she has only just begun to use her brain.

The characters in the book, Manyo and the traveler, are also making their own analysis. Based on their current understanding, both Yuya Amame and Nagato are very kind people and shouldn't be arguing.

Was this warehouse fire just an accident, or was there a third person involved?

It's hard to say. Wan Ye is still talking about 'cause' and 'effect,' a style of conversation that Paimon can't keep up with.

Her mind was already reeling, and she was about to start drooling. She indicated that she needed to rest her brain and asked the traveler and Manyo to talk first.

The traveler kept up and then analyzed two possibilities:

A dispute arose during the transaction, or perhaps the fire was used to conceal the truth.

This is what Manyo calls 'cause and effect': the events before the transaction are the 'cause', and the events after the transaction are the 'effect'.

After some thought, Manyo and the traveler felt that neither of these possibilities seemed quite right, as they were still missing some crucial clues.

It's all Yingmei's fault. The most crucial clue was the knife emanating black energy, but Yingmei genuinely didn't take it seriously and didn't mention it.

Knowing this clue, Coral Palace Heart Sea, Little Deer and others have figured out what happened, and are just silently reading and waiting for the answer to be revealed.

Fortunately, they weren't impatient, otherwise they would have been really anxious watching the travelers solve the case.

The story describes the two of them going to investigate the warehouse, and as they approached it, Manyo said he sensed a dangerous aura, the aura of a malevolent spirit.

Sensitive wind-type men can accurately detect this aura.

Chapter 801 Let the Knife Go to Jail?

Because of Xiao, ordinary people in Liyue don't really have much contact with the evil spirits; only a small number of them do.

But in Inazuma, it's a different story. Because of the existence of Hachiyū Island, the aura of the evil spirits is very common, and crystallized bone marrow is widely used and even sold.

In the original story of Inazuma, there was a time when the Kansei Magistrate collected crystallized bone marrow as a tax.

The Kansei-bu and the Fools had an unclear connection, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were transactions involving crystallized bone marrow.

Moreover, the Doctor had already caused trouble on Bayun Island before anyone knew about it.

Actually, this is already a hint. The reason why there is an aura of evil spirit is because the knife was forged using crystallized bone marrow.

Besides Inazuma, Shifu also possesses crystallized bone marrow, foreshadowing the origin of this knife.

Sensing the aura of the evil spirit, things changed, and Manyo and the traveler became even more cautious.

Moreover, more people are interested in this story; people like to see things they don't usually come across.

Just like seeing a yandere, you like them more and more in the story, but if you encounter one in real life, you'll just wish you had two more legs to run away faster.

After all, if she likes you, you're doomed; if she doesn't like you, you're even more doomed.

Yandere is like a landmine; once you touch it, there are only two paths: one is to never leave, and the other is to be blown up.

But it's fine to watch from a distance. Even if it explodes, you'll just feel like you're enjoying a 'fireworks' display that's blooming just for you, and you'll like it.

In the book, Manyo and the traveler arrive at the warehouse, an underground warehouse that can be entered by opening the door. However, the interior has been buried due to a collapse caused by a fire.

However, it wasn't entirely without clues. Wan Ye could sense that there was still stagnant evil spirit energy inside, a level that couldn't be reached in a short time.

"Judging from the concentration... the power of the evil spirit has lingered here for a very long time," Wan Ye said.

Paimon recalled what Nagato Sachiko had said: her husband often sat alone in the warehouse.

"He was probably already influenced by the power of the evil spirits at that time."

The power of evil spirits can amplify certain obsessions in people, making them paranoid, insane, and excessively fanatical. Everyone is familiar with this because they have read the story of Shen He.

Shen He watched the story with a cold expression, while Xian Yun sat to the side, glancing at Shen He from time to time.

She wanted to say something to show her concern, but she didn't know how to start. In fact, she knew that she wasn't very good at talking sometimes, so she just kept turning her head away without saying a word.

Shen He's father was bewitched by a demon, which made his obsession with resurrecting his wife even more fanatical, leading to the tragedy that followed.

Nagato's sudden increase in enthusiasm for collecting knives was also due to the influence of the evil spirits, which strengthened his obsession with this.

This shows that Nagato truly loved his wife; he even agreed to her request while under the influence of a shaman.

In real life, Nagato is filled with lingering fear and vows never to touch a knife again in her life. She is grateful for the prophecy and for the Traveler.

Nagato ran her hand to her chest. Thank goodness for the prophecy book, thank goodness the traveler encountered this incident. If she hadn't read the prophecy book and hadn't known about it, she would have been doomed.

Most people treat prophecy books as storybooks, and what's most appealing is that they're 'based on real events,' or even real events from the future.

But for the person involved, seeing their own story was the first time they were truly shocked by the prophecy.

It's like reading a novel online and suddenly seeing yourself in the story, with a clear picture of your past, present, and even a future you never knew existed. How could that not be amazing?

What shocked Nagato even more was that Manyo and the Traveler tracked the aura of the evil spirit and discovered that a portion of the aura lingered on a piece of cloth with red characters on it.

There was also a group of Hilichurls digging around here.

Why was it so shocking? Because it was a letter written in blood by Nagato himself. Yuya Amame had taken his sword and injured him, leaving him only enough time to leave a letter:

I'm so tired, I'm lying here resting. My stomach is still bleeding, and I thought I was going to die, but it feels like some strange force is keeping me going.

It hurts so much, it really hurts, but I can't faint. To distract myself, I can only write this.

What will happen to Sachiko? And what about Yuichi and Yuji...? I'm so sorry to them, I'm so sorry.

In the end, all those strange and unusual things I collected brought me no happiness, no warmth; none of it could compare to a single sentence from her.
