Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 124: Ch : Lost memories and powers?

Looking at Zhongli in front of him, speaking such incomprehensible words, Su Yuan didn't even know what to say.

The way he introduced his own name hadn't come from any deep thought—it was just whatever rolled off the tongue...

And besides, Su Yuan had no intention of continuing this act with Zhongli.

He directly asked:

"Mr. Zhongli, there's no need to keep pretending. I know your true identity..."

"You're actually the Geo Archon, Morax!"

"And right now, you've already been taken over by the Eerie, haven't you?"

"Me? The Geo Archon? Morax? Eerie?"

Zhongli showed a puzzled expression.

"Su Yuan, my young friend, I really don't understand a single thing you're talking about..."

"I'm nothing more than an ordinary consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. While I may possess some knowledge, how could I possibly be connected to the Geo Archon, Morax?"

"Everyone in Liyue knows that the Geo Archon has long since passed. In fact, I personally organized the Rite of Parting for him..."

Su Yuan sneered coldly in his heart: Heh... this Eerie thing is still pretending not to know?

That innocent look on his face—he's really playing the part! freewebnøvel.coɱ

Whether he's Zhongli or something Eerie, I'll know as soon as I test it!

As he thought this, Su Yuan pulled out the small knife he carried with him and stabbed it toward Zhongli's neck!

If faced with a threat to its life, the Eerie is sure to show its true form, right?

However, what happened next was completely beyond Su Yuan's expectations...

Faced with the sudden attack, Zhongli looked utterly shocked—but before he could react, the knife had already plunged deep into his throat...

Staring at the scene before him, Su Yuan was stunned.

What was going on?

Why hadn't Zhongli shown any sign of defending himself, and why had he been so easily stabbed?

Because Su Yuan had been firmly convinced that Zhongli was under the control of an Eerie, he hadn't held back at all in his attack...

Zhongli looked at Su Yuan, clutching his bleeding neck, as if trying to say something—but in the end, the words never came.

He collapsed in a pool of blood, lifeless.

Huh?

Su Yuan couldn't make sense of it.

Could it be... Zhongli hadn't been possessed by an Eerie?

No, that couldn't be right.

Even if he hadn't been corrupted, how could the real Zhongli be killed so easily—with nothing more than a small knife?

Besides... what he said earlier didn't sound like a lie...

Why did Zhongli's behavior now seem just like that of an ordinary person... one without any of those memories?

"Ahhhh!!!"

Just then, the teahouse owner suddenly let out a piercing scream!

"Help! Someone's been murdered! Millelith, quick!!"

The next moment, Su Yuan saw a flash of blue streak across his vision, and before he could react, his body was restrained and thrown to the ground, tied up tightly.

Yelan stood over him, her brow furrowed deeply as she stared at him and demanded:

"Su Yuan! What is the meaning of this?"

"Was the whole reason you were so eager to see Consultant Zhongli... just to kill him?!"

"I... I didn't..."

Su Yuan was clearly flustered, unsure of how to respond to Yelan.

"I just wanted to test whether Zhongli had been corrupted or controlled by the Eerie..."

"Then the result of your test is already clear—Zhongli wasn't being controlled by the Eerie. He's dead because of you..."

"Su Yuan, you were far too reckless..."

"Even though Zhongli did exhibit some unusual behavior, how could you resort to such a deadly move without conducting a thorough investigation first?"

Yelan looked at Su Yuan, her voice tinged with helplessness.

"You killed someone within Liyue's borders. I must bring you to justice according to Liyue's laws..."

"Zhongli!"

Just then, with a cry of alarm, Hu Tao appeared on the scene.

She rushed to Zhongli's body, cradling him in her arms, tears shimmering in her eyes...

Then, Hu Tao raised her head and looked at Su Yuan, her gaze filled with emotions too complex to name.

In her eyes, Su Yuan could read confusion, disbelief, anger, sorrow, regret... and so many other tangled feelings...

Damn it... he really couldn't bear seeing someone show an expression like that...

In the next moment, Su Yuan activated his Delusion with full force, erupting with both Cryo and Hydro elemental energy, breaking free from Yelan's bindings!

"Su Yuan! Are you trying to resist?!"

Yelan immediately grabbed Hu Tao beside her and moved her to a safe distance from Su Yuan...

She watched him warily—could it be that the intel her informants gathered back in Fontaine had all been wrong?

Was Su Yuan... actually not a good person at all?

"Everyone, please... don't be so tense..."

Su Yuan slowly opened his mouth and said:

"I have no intention of hurting anyone else. I'm merely trying to atone for my own foolish actions... trying to make things right..."

As he spoke, Su Yuan reached out and pulled the dagger that was still embedded in Zhongli's throat.

He thought to himself—it must be because this Delusion isn't shoddy enough.

After all, it was designed for elite Fatui operatives...

Even though he had constantly felt it draining his stamina and life force, the process was still too slow...

Given the current situation, stabbing himself in the heart would be a far quicker and cleaner method.

With that thought, and under the shocked gaze of everyone around, Su Yuan drove the dagger in his hand straight into his own heart—hard.

................

Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide—it was that familiar and heart-wrenching sensation again...

Feeling the sharp pain in the palm of his left hand, Su Yuan knew that he had died once more.

He lifted his left hand and looked at his palm:

[Unfortunately, this was your third death today...]

[Although Zhongli is acting a bit unusually, there seems to be no sign that he's been corrupted by the Eerie...]

[Right now, Zhongli appears more like someone who has lost his memory and his power...]

[He has become a truly ordinary person...]

Su Yuan stared in shock at the message in his palm, then looked across the table at Zhongli, who was still carefully examining Xiao's ceremonial mask.

What was going on?

Zhongli, while not currently under the Eerie's control, had lost his memory and power—and become just a normal person?

"Little friend, where did you get this mask?" Zhongli asked.

Zhongli spoke up with a hint of confusion in his voice:

"This ceremonial mask... I'm certain I've never seen it with my own eyes, and yet, there's an overwhelmingly familiar aura coming from it..."

Su Yuan didn't even know what to say at this point.

Seriously, Old man Zhongli, did you really get dementia?

Did you actually lose your memory?

That's Xiao's mask! And you don't recognize it?

Before coming to Liyue, Su Yuan had assumed that once he found Zhongli, he could rely on him—cling to his thigh, so to speak.

But now, seeing Zhongli like this, Su Yuan wasn't sure what he was supposed to do next...

Losing his memory, losing his power—such a ridiculously cliche plot, and yet it had actually happened right in front of him?

Still, looking on the bright side, even though Zhongli couldn't offer any help in his current state, at least he hadn't fallen into corruption by the Eerie.

That was a small blessing amidst the misfortune.
