"If what you and Zhongli just speculated is true, then to lift Yelan's Eerie state, could we tell her some correct information that matches what she expects, to counterbalance that part of the effect?"
Baizhu looked thoughtfully at the sleeping Yelan and said.
"Actually... it would be enough if she simply forgets everything..."
Qiqi also joined the discussion.
In her view, Yelan's Eerie corruption is a fairly subjective condition—if she forgets the firmly held information, she could recover from the Eerie state.
Su Yuan nodded and asked Baizhu, "Can you concoct a medicine that is harmless but can selectively erase specific memories?"
Upon hearing this, Baizhu seemed a bit helpless and gave a wry smile before saying,
"Su Yuan, what you're asking really puts me in a difficult position..."
"Although it's possible to specially prepare herbs to create a medicine that harms the brain and indirectly erases memories..."
"But I am a doctor who heals and saves people, so under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn't do something like that…"
"As for what you said about deleting specific memories without causing harm, such a medicine simply doesn't exist."
Su Yuan nodded—indeed, a medicine with that kind of effect didn't seem easy to make at all…
But when it comes to altering memories, isn't that what the Irminsul excels at?
Although the Irminsul can't change the history that's already passed, it can easily modify a person's perception and memories…
Moreover, if the Irminsul could observe every move of the people in Teyvat, it would be easy to know their locations and what they've experienced, quickly find any abnormalities, and investigate the causes of the Eerie corruption…
No wonder the Wanderer was so eager to get the Descender's remains to regain divine powers and use the Irminsul—it's just too convenient…
Just as Su Yuan and the others were discussing and thinking, Yelan's body and face suddenly twitched twice, and from the looks of it, she seemed about to awaken…
"Already waking up so soon?" Baizhu frowned deeply as he looked at Yelan, speaking seriously, "Normally, if she hadn't taken any more antidote, she should still be asleep for several more hours…"
"So this really is the power of the Eerie…"
"Baizhu, Yelan is about to wake up soon. Don't we need to take some measures?" Su Yuan asked anxiously.
"If Yelan uses the Eerie power to control us again, we'll fall into a passive situation once more…"
"Mm." Baizhu nodded and then instructed Qiqi, "Qiqi, apply those paralysis ointments again to Miss Yelan's limbs…"
But just as Baizhu finished speaking, they heard Yelan's groggy voice say:
"Don't touch me… I'm Yelan. I'm back. I'm no longer controlled by the Eerie!!!"
Upon hearing Yelan say that, Qiqi immediately stopped her movement.
Su Yuan quickly said,
"Qiqi, don't listen to Yelan. Maybe this is still the Eerie trying to disguise itself!"
However, Zhongli directly condensed a bit of Geo elemental power in his hand and struck Yelan's shoulder!
In the next moment, the flesh on Yelan's shoulder was torn apart, blood splattered everywhere!
Seeing this, Su Yuan suddenly understood Zhongli's meaning — could it be that Yelan had truly broken free from the Eerie's control?
But they were still just discussing and hadn't done anything practical yet…
Baizhu, seeing the situation, also told Qiqi to stop, then quickly bandaged Yelan's wound.
Not long after, Yelan was fully awake.
"Everyone, it seems I was just controlled by the Eerie force…"
Yelan spoke slowly, "Although I don't know what exactly happened, I'm already fully awake now…"
"So, Yelan, when exactly did you lose your memory?" Su Yuan asked.
"It was when I realized that Mr. Zhongli is actually the Geo Archon, Morax," Yelan replied.
"I believe the reason I became Eerie was that the information I previously held—and believed to be true—conflicted with the new, correct information I obtained," she explained.
Su Yuan nodded, "Exactly, that matches our guess as well…"
"Now here's the question: when you just fell asleep, we didn't do anything. So why did you suddenly recover from the Eerie state on your own?"
Surprised by Su Yuan's words, Yelan said, "Ah, so you didn't do anything at all, and I just exited the Eerie state by myself?"
"Could it be that you, Yelan, are like Ganyu, who can reset her condition just by taking a nap?" Su Yuan asked, puzzled.
"No, it shouldn't be that simple,"
Yelan thought for a moment and then said,
"When a person receives unexpected information, they inevitably go into a state of shock…"
"Isn't it possible that now I've calmed down and truly accepted from my heart that Zhongli's appearance means he really is the Archon, and that's why I've exited the Eerie state?"
Hearing Yelan's words, Su Yuan thought it over, nodded, and said,
"That is indeed a real possibility…"
"Yelan, your Eerie condition was caused by conflicting information…"
"As long as you genuinely accept that Zhongli is the Geo Archon and replace your previous information with this truth, naturally, the conflict will disappear…"
"So, Yelan, if you accidentally fall into the Eerie state again in the future, as long as we stay far away and you gradually accept the new correct information, you can exit the Eerie state on your own?"
"In theory, yes," Yelan nodded and replied.
"But this time was a bit special because, through your actions, Su Yuan, and those present, even before receiving confirmation from Mr. Zhongli, I had already begun to doubt my original judgment inside…"
"I think that's probably why I was able to recover so quickly this time…"
"So, Yelan, you now need to keep a skeptical or disbelieving attitude toward all those pieces of information in your mind that you once considered correct,"
Zhongli added,
"That way, when we share information about the Eerie with each other, you won't easily fall into the Eerie state again…"
"Mm." Yelan nodded.
Then, with the help of Baizhu's antidote, Yelan's body mostly recovered, no longer paralyzed, and she stood up again from the chair…
Su Yuan looked at Yelan and happened to notice the ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist, which made him fall into thought again…
That vague memory resurfaced—last time Yelan fell into the Eerie state, she didn't have the ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist…
