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

"But before that, I want to tell you the truth about the past. If I'm just using you, then I'm no different from 'The Doctor.'"

In fact, Nasita also conducted an experiment with skirmishers, the difference being that the skirmishers in this experiment knew the truth.

It must be said that the plan of the Little Grass God was very effective. On the one hand, it eliminated the instability of the scattered soldiers, making them a sufficiently stable fighting force for Sumeru.

There's no need to worry about his betrayal, because the stragglers have nowhere else to go; he's already dead in terms of identity, having suffered 'social death'.

On the other hand, the experiment was successfully completed, and we learned a lot about operating the World Tree.

Finally, they even obtained a 'paper machine' containing some of the research results of the Fools.

The stragglers are special; regardless of whether they are 'people' in the broad sense, their essence is that of puppets.

Therefore, it would be pointless to imprison him, since he has no lifespan limit and is not even affected by wear and tear, after all, the purpose of Ray's movies in creating dolls is to resist wear and tear.

For humans with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, imprisonment for twenty or thirty years is a severe punishment, as that is one-fifth or even more of the most active period of life.

But for dolls, even two or three hundred years have no effect.

Keeping such a potentially violent puppet locked up in Sumeru is clearly a very unwise choice.

After all, only Nasita could suppress Sumeru's high-end combat power, and the number of immortal beings was pitifully small.

If we just kill them, then nothing will be made up for.

In this way, Naxida's move to trade with the scattered soldiers was particularly brilliant.

After this series of events, there was no need to worry about the stragglers anymore, because the stragglers had completely joined Sumeru's front.

After that, I will become a working soldier in Sumeru, worrying about how to write my thesis along with other students of the Academy of Teachings, and going out to work when I have nothing to do. This is in line with everyone's stereotype of Sumeru.

If we need to fight against the Doctor in the future, he can be the vanguard.

The wanderer said, "Value lies in being useful to others. So even as a sinner, I have regained a reason to be used."

"But I wouldn't call all of this scheming; your intelligence dictates that you'll have better helpers."

The meaning of "散兵" is: I admire you.

However, he still had one question: why did the traveler go to Inazuma after he jumped into the World Tree?

The traveler's answer was simple: she just wanted to know what the skirmishers had changed.

Because she cared more about her friends than the stragglers.

Fortunately, the soldier only deleted her own history and didn't change anything else, so her friends weren't affected.

It's clear the traveler didn't care about the stragglers, but for the stragglers at that moment, this action was quite crucial, because they also wanted to know what they had changed.

The homeless man said, "No matter what, you helped me, and I will do my best to repay that kindness."

Perhaps it was in order to 'do his best to repay' that he put the traveler on Nel's lap to enjoy a lap pillow, which was indeed a great help.

The homeless man continued, "Between individuals, there's only a relationship of 'borrowing' and 'repaying.' We'll settle things sooner or later; you don't need to worry about it."

Although he said something nice, his tone wasn't very pleasant; it was a typical case of saying nice things but not having a nice face.

Sometimes I really wish I could use a tiger talisman on the stragglers to call out the wanderers and have a chat, because the wanderers are the ones who have the best voices.

Nasita corrected, "That's not how it works. Relationships between people are not like blank sheets of paper that can be easily restored to their original state."

"You must have felt this before. People who have appeared in your life don't disappear like water droplets evaporating; there is no such thing as a true 'event' in this world."

Nasita's meaning is simple: he helped you, and you're returning the favor, but this doesn't mean your relationship is "evened out," because the feelings from this interaction still exist.

"It is precisely because some things cannot be undone or changed that human emotions exist."

"Everything you feel is real, and what you owe cannot be made up for."

'What you owe will not be made up for,' Nasita's attitude was the same as Lin Qiu's. You can atone for your sins, but sins will never disappear, and good deeds and bad deeds cannot offset each other.

The only thing we can do is to 'balance' things, to balance bad things with many times more good things.

Even so, it can only achieve balance, not offsetting; those sins are destined to be borne.

Chapter 833 Name

Nasita's meaning is clear: the past will not change, but one can start being a useful person from now on.

Nasida said, "Living with cracks is a human behavior. You can choose whether or not to be human."

The skirmisher had already made this choice when he regained his memories, but he's still being stubborn.

The wanderer chuckled: "There are no humans without hearts, are there? Besides, I've long since given up on being human."

No one paid any attention to the stragglers' stubbornness, because everyone would know how he decided to retrieve his memories.

If he really didn't want to carry that burden, he wouldn't have chosen to retrieve his memories in the first place; it would have been easier for him to survive as a wanderer.

One might argue that his act of atonement for the stragglers from the perspective of a vagrant 'bystander' would make his kindness more acceptable, but he did not choose that path.

Narcida's plan was nothing short of brilliant. She not only verified some of the conjectures about the World Tree, but also completely changed the minds of the skirmishers.

At first, the stragglers were unaware of the truth; they did not consider their past as a 'sin'.

After Nasita's series of actions, the current militia members now regard their past actions as 'criminals' and are aware of their status as 'criminals'.

Initially, the skirmisher's assessment of himself was merely that he would "lose some credibility."

And how do the stragglers evaluate themselves now? They say: 'Even as sinners, I have regained a reason to be used.'

Everyone could see the change in the soldier's heart, so they were more concerned about Naxida's words than the soldier's stubbornness.

Nasita's words were quite insightful, and many viewers fell in love with her at first hearing. "This is the kind of little girl who could be my mother!"

Every word he said was reasonable, and even his expression was 'reasonable'!

After hearing Nasita's words, the stragglers, though stubborn, made up their minds to stand with Nasita and the Traveler, saying that he would become their 'helper in the darkness'.

Fischl was quite pleased to hear this, because it sounded very cheesy and cool.

The soldier himself was much more silent, having not actually experienced all of this, so he was still searching for his 'self'.

When he finds the answer, the Eye of God will find him, because it is part of destiny.

Teyvat is a huge example of 'fatalism,' which is perhaps why Sora wanted to create the 'weave of fate.'

Kong, who had sneaked in without a ticket, left the cinema without a word, seemingly not intending to continue watching the rest of the story.

The expressions on the faces of the scattered soldiers' colleagues were rather subtle. The executive officer had defected and gone to Sumeru to become a student.

Having served as the sixth seat of the executors for hundreds of years, how come he can't even become a teacher in Sumeru? How shameful! How shameful a straggler!

Doesn't this just expose the fact that our executives have an average junior high school education?

Rosalind, who had raised the average, wore an extremely obvious smile as she brazenly stared at the skirmishers.

With this level of knowledge, you dare to argue with me? Graduate from the Faculty of Education first before calling me that. Oh, by the way, by "before calling me that," I mean calling me "senior sister."

She didn't voice her pride and arrogance, otherwise the soldiers would definitely have retorted, saying that the one who graduated from the Faculty Academy was 'Rosalyn,' not you 'Sinola.'

This remark is going to hit Rosalind's sore spot again, and the two of them will start arguing.

However, the reactions above show that the executives are actually quite relaxed about the stragglers, and it seems that no one intends to purge the traitors.

What does this mean? It's unclear. Perhaps the desertion of the stragglers was part of their plan, or perhaps they simply don't care about the deserters' defection.

Getting back to the story, the next step is naming the child.

Nasita said, "We're glad you accepted our suggestion. To celebrate, why don't you give yourself a new name?"

She had intended to let the stragglers name her, but in the end, the right to name her fell into the hands of the traveler, after all, she was a major participant in the wanderer's life.

Sanbing was not opposed to having travelers name him; he had had many names in his life, and perhaps this name would stay with him the longest.

Paimon was also a major participant, but her job was just to come up with nicknames.

The soldier cared a lot about the name, but he still stubbornly insisted that he 'didn't care about the name'.

Nasita continued, “A name is the first gift in life—though you didn’t say it explicitly, I know that’s what you think.”

Nasita saw through the soldiers' thoughts and said frankly that the soldiers also longed for this name.

Her words reminded the audience that the stragglers never seemed to have a proper name of their own.

The first gift of his life, the film that created him, did not name him.

In Tasha, he was called 'Qingqi Zhe'; among the Fools, he was called 'Sanbing'; even the name 'Guopo' was given to him by himself.

That's why Nasita said that giving a name to a skirmisher is a gift, because he has almost never had a 'name', which makes the skirmishers in reality somewhat expectant.

He actually cares a lot about other people's 'evaluation', and his purpose in becoming a god was more to prove himself to Balzeb.

His feelings for Barzeb were quite complex. On one hand, he hated Barzeb for abandoning him, but on the other hand, he desperately wanted Barzeb's approval because Barzeb had created him.

So even after becoming a 'wanderer', his clothes were still decorated with a golden feather, which was left by Balzeb as a symbol of his identity.

At this moment, the travelers who have experienced all his 'multiple lives' are going to name him, and he really can't help but care; he can't ignore how the people who are important to him evaluate him.

Lin Qiu and Ying discussed his name for a long time.

Lin Qiu wanted to name it 'Honkai Impact 3', combining the characters for 'collapse' (as in 'collapse of a nation'), 'bad guy' (as in 'bad guy'), and 'three' (as in 'three betrayals').

Yingmei thought "Bengbeng Little Round Hat" was a good name; she had named her pet mushroom beast that way too.

The rest were a bunch of random names like 'Prototype Thor', 'Thunder Cannon', 'Niwa Kou', and 'MK2000'.

But after thinking about it, this is indeed a major life experience for the soldiers, so I decided not to make fun of them and just call them "Ah Mao" instead, which is easy to understand.

After all, if a "Beng Beng Little Round Hat" were to appear in the story later, it would indeed lower the seriousness of the story a bit.

Sanbing accepted the name Ah Mao, both within and outside the story.

Then, in the story, Ah Mao turns to Paimon and asks, "What's a nickname? Have you thought of one?"

Although he says he doesn't care about names and hates random nicknames, he doesn't refuse when someone actually gives him one.

It's a pity that Paimon hasn't figured it out yet; this will probably require the audience to brainstorm.

Chapter 834 The Fall of Garan (End)

But what his nickname is doesn't matter; what the traveler is more curious about is what Ah Mao is going to do next.

Ah Mao's meaning is simple: he wants those who should pay the price to pay the price.

It wasn't all the Fools, but it certainly included himself and "The Doctor."

Rosalyn was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected the skirmishers to specifically distinguish between the Fools and the "Doctor" when talking about them.

He usually seems like he'd argue with anyone he sees, but he was surprisingly considerate at this moment.

Ah Mao said, "There's one more thing."

"There are still some descendants of the Raiden Goshin (Raiden Five Masters) in Inazuma. Some of them know... or should know, my relationship with the Raiden Goshin."

"I don't plan to leave Sumeru for now. If you meet them in Inazuma, you can tell them that I am the murderer who caused the fall of the Five Thunder Gods."

"...Even if this matter has been erased from the world, they deserve the truth."

"They could have stabbed me in the chest with a knife if they wanted to...maybe that's how it was supposed to be."

This means that he is willing to bear all the consequences of his actions and accept any form of retaliation from the other party.

However... his scattered personality meant that he didn't speak kindly when he tried to say nice things.

His choice of words and tone gave the impression that he was 'giving up' when he said these things.

It's as if they're saying: You can tell them the truth, I don't care, just kill me if you want.

Although he didn't mean it that way, people got the impression that he did, which led to some dissatisfaction with his attitude.

All I can say is that stragglers are like cooked ducks; even when they're reduced to ashes, their beaks remain. They're all smiles when they're trying to be nice.

However, travelers no longer need to reveal the truth; the whole world has already seen it.

As a descendant of the Five Generations of Lightning, Kaedehara Manyo also knew the whole truth, in even more detail than the original Kaede himself had.

Rationally speaking, both the skirmishers and the skirmishers were victims, but humans are not only rational animals, and it is impossible to say that there was no hostility towards the skirmishers at all.

Even though Wan Ye had let go of the past, he still couldn't establish a good relationship with the scattered soldiers.
