Feeling Su Yuan's serious expression and hearing his earnest voice, the little boy knew Su Yuan wasn't joking…
He truly believed that the boy could move freely despite the suppression of the eerie power.
So, the little boy spoke up:
"Big brother Su Yuan, I can agree to your request, but on one condition—you have to tell me how you found out this information."
"I'm quite certain I haven't revealed this anywhere…"
"How exactly did your intelligence system get all this info?"
Su Yuan looked toward 'Yelan,' worried and anxious, and said urgently:
"Hey, the situation is urgent now, can we deal with the crisis first before talking about this?"
"No way, big brother Su Yuan, you have to tell me now!" The little boy's tone was very firm.
Seeing how insistent the little boy was, Su Yuan had no choice.
He certainly couldn't tell him the truth about his ability to rewind death, so he had to make up a reason on the spot…
"Ahem, it's actually quite simple…"
"When you grow up, you'll become that Dottore who can control a certain amount of eerie power. By analogy, he can also move freely under the suppression of eerie power…"
"Then, by the same logic, maybe when you were little, you could also move under the suppression of eerie power…"
"That's it?" The little boy said in disbelief, "Big brother Su Yuan, you're not just making that up, are you?"
"Really, that's exactly it…" Su Yuan said, half wanting to cry but with no other choice.
"Alright then…" The little boy said, "Big brother Su Yuan, since you say so, I'll trust you…"
"See, I really trust you a lot, so I hope you won't let me down…"
"Now please relax your body and mind, and let me take control of your body…"
But in the next moment, something unexpected happened that interrupted Su Yuan's attempt to let the little boy take control of his body...
"Yelan," who had been tied to the chair and was using eerie power to dispel the drug's effects, suddenly tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.
The eerie power she had been emitting vanished, and the oppressive feeling on everyone disappeared as well...
Su Yuan was stunned.
What was going on? Didn't "Yelan" spit out the sleeping pill?
So why did she still fall asleep?
Then, Baizhu walked over to "Yelan," lifted her eyelids to check her briefly, and said:
"Hmm, the drug took effect. Miss Yelan is sleeping very deeply…"
"Looks like I was a bit cautious and left a little trick in place. It actually worked…"
"A trick? A little trick?" Su Yuan asked in confusion.
"Baizhu, what exactly do you mean? What's going on now?"
"Su Yuan, actually that so-called sleeping pill doesn't make people fall asleep at all..."
Baizhu smiled slightly and said, "On the contrary, it's an antidote that keeps people awake..."
"An antidote that keeps people awake?" Hearing this, Su Yuan was even more confused...
"Although I told you that the ointment only paralyzes the limbs..."
Baizhu continued to explain:
"But in reality, that ointment is the true sedative that makes people fall asleep..."
"Moreover, I specifically emphasized before that the so-called sleeping pill needs to be digested and absorbed by the stomach acid to take effect, so back then, Yelan — who wasn't controlled by the eerie force— chose to keep the pill wrapped in its sugar paper in her mouth..."
"However, the sugar paper I gave you, Su Yuan, didn't fully wrap the pill. Some of the medicine must have leaked out and was absorbed through the mouth, thus producing the effect of keeping her awake..."
"Miss Yelan, who was controlled by the eerie force, was outsmarted by her own cleverness. She thought that by spitting out the pill and not swallowing it, she wouldn't fall asleep…"
"But since there was no antidote effect, the sedative ointment soon took effect, causing her to fall asleep and resolving this crisis…"
After hearing Baizhu's explanation, Su Yuan thought, wow, Baizhu really is a scheming person—he even kept his own people in the dark…
"The eerie can possess the original host's memories, but we cannot possess the eerie's memories…"
Baizhu sighed deeply, seeming a bit helpless as he said:
"This imbalance of information is one of the reasons why we find it difficult to deal with the eerie…"
"Actually, sometimes I wonder, Su Yuan, if you share all this eerie intelligence with us, what if one day we get controlled by the eerie? Won't the eerie then use that information against us?" Baizhu asked.
Su Yuan nodded, recalling how back in Fontaine, the Eerie "Wriothesley" used the eerie rules that the Eerie "Neuvillette" had to fight against him and his group…
"Some clever eerie beings do act that way," Su Yuan said slowly.
"But maybe out of disdain, or not wanting to cooperate with other eerie, not all eerie use those rules…"
"The road to resisting and defeating the eerie is still very long…"
Su Yuan looked toward the sleeping Yelan and said slowly, "The condition for Yelan's eerie state likely stems from a conflict between the original information she held and the new correct information she received…"
"No, I don't think that's the case…"
At that moment, Zhongli stepped forward, looking at Su Yuan and said,
"Information is constantly changing; even the original information gets updated…"
"If what you said were true, Yelan should have fallen into eerie state a long time ago…"
"Zhongli, what do you mean?" Su Yuan asked.
"From what Yelan just said, she seemed quite certain about the special nature of my identity—possibly that I am an Adeptus…"
Zhongli pondered thoughtfully:
"'Knowing' something doesn't mean you completely believe it…"
"So I think the condition for Yelan eerie state is a conflict between information once firmly believed and newly acquired correct information."
Su Yuan nodded, thinking that Zhongli's analysis made a lot of sense…
With this, the condition for Yelan's eerie state became more detailed and clearer…
"Now the problem arises,"
Su Yuan said,
"Yelan is only temporarily in a state of unconsciousness right now…"
"Ganyu is a special case after all; Yelan definitely won't be like Ganyu who can just take a nap to reset her state and exit eerie state…"
"So when Yelan wakes up, it's very likely she will still be in the eerie state…"
"Now that we basically understand the condition for Yelan's eerie state, what exactly should we do to help her get rid of it?"
