A new day arrived as usual.
Sunshine streamed into Su Yuan's guest room, and under the warm light, Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
He felt that he hadn't seen Dottore all day yesterday, nor heard any news related to him.
He had actually slept quite soundly last night and felt much more refreshed…
Feeling a sharp pain in the palm of his right hand, Su Yuan raised it and looked at his palm:
[First, congratulations on surviving your tenth night.]
[Skipped]
[Currently available information:]
[31. Among the Adepti of Liyue, at least one is still under the control of eerie force.]
Su Yuan looked thoughtfully at this intel.
So, indeed, there was still a mole among the Adepti of Liyue…
Combined with the earlier trip to Inazuma, when Cloud Retainer was so eager to send him away—that behavior was clearly abnormal…
In other words, there was a high probability that Cloud Retainer had already been controlled by eerie force…
As for the phrase "at least one more," that limiting expression was quite thought-provoking…
Whether it was one or a hundred, "at least one" still meant the same thing.
Su Yuan guessed the hint in his right palm was playing word games again, trying to confuse him!
Thinking this, Su Yuan continued reading:
[32. The legal experts of Liyue must also be troubled when encountering lawless outlaws, right?]
Legal experts of Liyue?
Su Yuan's first thought was Liyue's top lawyer, Yanfei…
Could it be that if Yanfei encountered lawless outlaws who neither respect nor understand the law, she might fall into an eerie state?
No, it shouldn't be that simple.
This piece of intel didn't explicitly say that—probably it was meant to mislead him again!
The exact conditions for Yanfei's eerie state still needed careful consideration.
[33. If you encounter Shenhe and she does not have her red ropes, please be very cautious.]
Shenhe? Red ropes?
Su Yuan thought for a moment.
If he remembered correctly, Shenhe's red ropes was used to suppress the evil aura within her, right?
The current Shenhe appears like an icy beauty with little emotional fluctuation, largely because of this red ropes…
Could it be that without the red ropes suppressing her evil aura, Shenhe would fall into an eerie state?
In any case, he still needed to be careful.
[Special info: You have gained additional rewind attempts: 2.7 times]
[Currently available rewind attempts: 3.3 times]
[34. After surviving the twelfth night, new information will be unlocked.]
What?
Su Yuan was instantly a bit baffled.
What was going on?
How did he suddenly gain 2.7 extra rewind attempts?
What exactly did he do yesterday to earn so many additional rewind chances?
Could it be that the condition for increasing rewind attempts was related to undoing others' eerie state?
The most important thing he did yesterday was to work with Ganyu to lift Furong's eerie state and rescue Beidou from her control…
He also basically figured out the conditions for Zhongli's eerie state, preventing Zhongli from falling into that state intermittently…
Besides that, it didn't seem like he did anything special…
Although he wasn't sure if this idea was correct, at least now he had some clues and could pay more attention to this aspect in the future…
After leaving his guest room, Su Yuan asked a staff member for directions and headed toward Ganyu's office.
After entering Ganyu's office, Su Yuan found Ganyu's desk piled high with documents like a small mountain, and she was busy writing something furiously.
"Good morning, Ganyu…" Su Yuan cautiously whispered, afraid of disturbing her work.
"You didn't stay up all night working overtime, did you?"
"Yes, Su Yuan," Ganyu nodded in response.
Su Yuan suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only remind her, "Ganyu, although you have the blood of an Adepti and a constitution unlike ordinary people, you still shouldn't overwork yourself like this…"
"Mm, Su Yuan, thank you for your concern, I will be careful," Ganyu replied with a smile.
"Actually, I take a nap every day, so that's when I get proper rest. You can rest assured."
"Also, there was already a lot of backlog from yesterday, and today's work is complicated too. I won't be able to stay with you for now," Ganyu said apologetically.
"But Ningguang has already informed the others below, and they will do their best to assist you."
"Alright, Ganyu, you focus on your work."
"But before I leave, I have to tell you about the intel I got today."
Afterward, Su Yuan shared the intelligence he had just obtained today with Ganyu, then left the Yuehai Pavilion.
As soon as he stepped out of the Yuehai Pavilion's gate, Su Yuan saw Madame Ping had already set up her tea stall early.
Su Yuan approached, wanting to say a few words to Madame Ping.
When Ganyu, affected by the eerie force, had harmed him, someone infused a trace of Adepti power into his body to prolong his life until Doctor Baizhu's rescue, that must have been Madame Ping's doing.
"Oh? Child, judging by your appearance, your wounds have mostly healed?" Madame Ping smiled as she spoke when she saw Su Yuan walking toward her.
"Madame Ping, thank you for saving my life back then," Su Yuan said, bowing deeply to her.
"Child, there's no need for that. It was just a small favor," Madame Ping replied kindly.
"Instead, I should be the one thanking you for uncovering the root of the Archon's eerie corruption and taking measures to prevent such misfortunes from happening again."
"Madame Ping, if there really is a traitor among the Adepti in Liyue right now, who do you think it would be?" Su Yuan asked, then told Madame Ping all the intelligence he had gathered today in detail.
"It should be Cloud Retainer," Madame Ping said.
"I've long sensed that something was off about her, but I've been at a loss without any concrete evidence."
Su Yuan nodded.
If even Madame Ping said so, then it was very likely that the Adepti controlled by the eerie force was indeed Cloud Retainer…
"Then Madame Ping, do you know where Cloud Retainer is now?" Su Yuan asked.
"Child, of course I know where she is now, but for the time being, I still can't tell you."
Madame Ping spoke earnestly:
"I can sense that there is someone behind Cloud Retainer who has been manipulating her. She is nothing more than a pawn…"
"And we still have no clue about the conditions that cause Cloud Retainer's eerie state…"
"If we tear things open with her now, our only option would be to kill her…"
"I don't want to lose any more important people…"
