Su Yuan and Xiangling watched "Shenhe" tensely, but at this moment, Shenhe didn't seem to intend to attack either of them.
From past experience, after someone becomes eerie state, they usually have a relatively clear goal to carry out based on their experiences or some rule...
So what exactly is Shenhe's goal now that she is being controlled by this eerie force?
"Humans are pitiful, because human children have no choice whether they come into this world or not..."
"Shenhe" spoke slowly:
"Parents give birth to children without asking for the child's consent..."
"Some people use their childhood to heal their whole life, while others use their whole life to heal their childhood..."
"When I was five, my mother died from illness. My father, driven mad with grief, actually sacrificed me alive to a monster, hoping to trade my life for my deceased mother…"
"Why, why, why, why, why???"
"Why was I brought into this world, and why was I heartlessly abandoned???"
"Without the protection of parents, betrayed by blood relatives… a person can only live for themselves!!!"
"I want revenge! I want revenge!! I want revenge!!!"
Su Yuan understood now—Shenhe's current obsession stemmed from her childhood…
But her parents and blood relatives had long since passed away.
If he could explain these things clearly to her, maybe she could let go of her obsession.
Even without the red ropes, perhaps she could temporarily exit the eerie state?
"Shenhe, I understand how you feel. Any child who goes through such things in their youth will surely remember them for life and be deeply affected…"
Su Yuan spoke:
"But those things are in the past now. Your parents, your blood relatives, are no longer in this world. You have become a disciple of the adeptus, an existence that people see as untouchable."
"It's time to let go. Let the past be the past…"
"Yes, my parents have long since passed away…"
Shenhe spoke slowly, and Su Yuan thought, Hey, maybe this is actually working!
But the next moment, Shenhe tilted her head toward Su Yuan, cracked a strange smile, and said:
"But I… my blood relatives… there are still many of them living in this world!!!"
"Are distant blood relatives not still blood relatives???"
Su Yuan suddenly realized—Shenhe is Chongyun's aunt!
And Chongyun's whole family… aren't they also Shenhe's blood relatives?
That means they are also targets of the eerie state "Shenhe"!
Seeing Su Yuan's serious expression, "Shenhe" continued speaking:
"I have the fate of solitary misfortune, destined for separation from friends and family, alone for life…"
"Apart from my blood relatives, my friends won't be spared either…"
"Do you know why I am destined to be alone all my life?"
"Because all my friends and family will die by my own hands!!!"
"I am doomed to be solitary forever!!!"
"Xiangling! Danger!!!"
Su Yuan shouted loudly and immediately knocked Xiangling to the ground, dodging Shenhe's attack!!!
Su Yuan now fully understood that the eerie state "Shenhe" would not only target her blood relatives, but also her friends — she wouldn't spare anyone!
And Xiangling, being undoubtedly a friend of hers, would also become a target of "Shenhe's" attacks!
"Don't move!!!"
With Shenhe's furious roar, Su Yuan and Xiangling suddenly felt their bodies being tightly restrained, unable to move!
Then, Su Yuan watched in horror as Shenhe stepped in front of Xiangling and, using her monstrous strength, tore Xiangling's head right off!
Blood splattered everywhere!!!
Afterwards, the oppressive feeling of Shenhe's eerie power vanished, and Su Yuan was able to move normally again…
Shenhe ignored Su Yuan and turned to leave, searching for her next target…
Su Yuan looked at Xiangling's corpse beside him, deeply sorrowful, but he knew that this was not irreversible.
He still had 3.3 chances to rewind time and was determined to use them to save Xiangling!
The urgent task now was to figure out who had untied Shenhe's red rope, where the red rope was now, and whether there was a way to tie it back onto Shenhe again...
Su Yuan also noticed a detail: the current "Shenhe" had only killed Xiangling but hadn't attacked him.
Could it be because today was their first meeting, and since he wasn't a relative or even a friend, "Shenhe" hadn't targeted him?
"Shenhe" walked slowly down the streets of Liyue.
The blood stains on her hands, face, and clothes from when she killed Xiangling were still clearly visible, startling many passersby...
"Hey, hey, is this the Millelith Army? It looks like a bloody violent incident happened here, and there's someone covered in blood!"
Immediately, some concerned citizens went to seek help from the Millelith Army.
But when the fully armed Millelith Army arrived at the scene, they saw Su Yuan suddenly rush ahead of Shenhe and hand them a small note.
On it was written:
[You don't need to deal with Shenhe or this matter. Leave immediately and notify Ganyu—there's something wrong with Shenhe!]
[However, do not let Ganyu come to the scene—it will be very dangerous!]
[Also, try to notify Chongyun and the entire family's exorcists not to appear in Liyue Harbor. The farther they stay away, the better…]
Su Yuan believed that the current "Shenhe" was not in a state of indiscriminate killing, only targeting her friends and blood relatives…
So Su Yuan could only notify Ganyu but must not let her come to the scene.
Otherwise, given the relationship between Ganyu and Shenhe, "Shenhe" would definitely attack Ganyu.
The Millelith Army naturally recognized Su Yuan as the person Lady Ningguang had specifically instructed them to fully assist, so they immediately followed Su Yuan's instructions.
The key question now is—where exactly is Shenhe's red ropes?
If it can't be found, should they try to get another one from the adeptus?
But Shenhe's master, Cloud Retainer, seems to have also been corrupted by the eerie power.
It looks like Su Yuan can only go find Old man Zhongli or Madame Ping, since he's not familiar with the other adeptus…
Looking at Shenhe's current state, Su Yuan felt she wouldn't casually attack ordinary people, and his presence by her side wasn't very helpful.
It was better to first go consult the adeptus to figure out a plan!
Just as Su Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly heard Shenhe speak:
"Su Yuan, you've been following me closely—do you want to be friends with me?"
