Su Yuan keenly noticed that at this moment, "Yelan's" wrist was bare—her ancestral jade bracelet was gone…
Wasn't it previously concluded that the bracelet was merely a manifestation, and that Yelan's Eerie transformation was linked to intelligence?
But now, with the ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist having disappeared, she had once again fallen into Eerie state…
Suddenly, Su Yuan sharply recalled an old intelligence prompt from a while ago—
That each person might have more than one condition for Eerie state…
But because the prompt used the word "might", and since he had never personally encountered a case with multiple transformation conditions, he had always assumed the hint was playing word games again—deliberately misleading him.
However, Yelan's current state clearly indicated that both "intelligence" and "the jade bracelet" were likely causes of her being polluted and controlled by the Eerie!
Su Yuan felt a pang of regret—he had been too careless after all…
A few minutes ago, when Yelan left, he really should have gone with her to find Gaming…
Who would've thought that in just those few short minutes, the ancestral jade bracelet on Yelan's wrist would disappear—and as a result, she would fall into Eerie state…
So then, why exactly did Yelan's ancestral jade bracelet go missing?
Could it be that when she left Bubu Pharmacy and went downstairs, she didn't watch her step and accidentally slipped and fell?
And in the process, broke the bracelet?
With Yelan's skills, it's hard to imagine her making such a clumsy mistake…
Besides, according to the game's earlier plot, Yelan's ancestral jade bracelet was supposedly a magical artifact—how could it be that fragile?
Could it be that some fool snatched the priceless antique bracelet off Yelan's wrist?
But this is Liyue Harbor—not some remote wilderness.
The place is full of Millelith soldiers.
Would anyone really be so blind as to commit robbery in broad daylight?
Not to mention, with Yelan's strength, the vast majority of people aren't a match for her—let alone snatching something from her hands…
"You all… don't move!!!"
With Yelan's furious roar, the oppressive force of the Eerie energy instantly filled the entire room, restricting everyone present, leaving them frozen and unable to move…
The next moment, before Su Yuan could react, he felt a sharp sting and coldness at his neck, and the connection to his body was completely severed…
"Su Yuan, your intelligence ability is far too strong. Indeed, only if you die can I finally be truly at ease…"
In the final moments of his life, Su Yuan's consciousness grew faint as he heard "Yelan" say these words…
................
Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, feeling that familiar, heart-pounding sensation once again…
Feeling the sting in the palm of his left hand, Su Yuan knew he had died once more…
He raised his left hand and looked at his palm:
[Unfortunately, you have used up one death rewind. Remaining rewinds available: 3.4]
[Do not take this lightly. As previously indicated by the intelligence in your right hand, each person's conditions for becoming Eerie may be more than one…]
[Yelan's conditions for Eerie state very likely include both the "intelligence" and the "ancestral jade bracelet"…]
[Last time, shortly after Yelan left Bubu Pharmacy, she encountered Gaming…]
[Then, the ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist disappeared, she fell into an Eerie state, and killed Gaming…]
[Do not let Yelan leave your sight. Be careful that her ancestral jade bracelet does not get lost or destroyed…]
"Alright then, I'll take my leave first and go to the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency to see if Gaming has finished his work…"
Yelan said, bidding farewell to everyone, preparing to leave Bubu Pharmacy…
Just then, Su Yuan immediately followed Yelan and said,
"Yelan, I'm suddenly quite curious about what the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency looks like. I'll go with you to take a look!"
"If you don't need to discuss anything else with Zhongli and Baizhu, it's fine to go together," Yelan replied.
But before leaving, Baizhu took out a pill and handed it to Yelan, saying, "Yelan, this pill has the effect of refreshing the mind. It can help you recover somewhat from the fainting just now…"
"Got it, Doctor Bai," Yelan said, swallowing the pill, then prepared to leave Bubu Pharmacy with Su Yuan.
When they reached the steps at the entrance of Bubu Pharmacy, Su Yuan quickly said, "Yelan, be careful on the steps, take it slow, don't fall!"
"I'm not a three-year-old kid. Just these few steps? How could I possibly fall?" Yelan looked at Su Yuan somewhat puzzled, feeling like Su Yuan was acting a bit strange…
"Su Yuan, be honest with me—do you know something? Why are you so concerned about me?"
"Alright then, Yelan, actually I have a feeling we'll see Gaming in just a few minutes…" Su Yuan said.
"Oh? Su Yuan, your intelligence system is really impressive—able to pinpoint things down to the minute?" Yelan said with interest.
"If we could run into Gaming here, that would be perfect, right? We wouldn't have to travel all the way to the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency to find him…"
"But that's not the real issue," Su Yuan said seriously and earnestly.
"Each person's conditions for being 'Eerie' state might not be just one…"
Seeing Su Yuan's serious expression, Yelan quickly caught on.
She raised her right hand and looked at the ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist, saying:
"So you told me to be careful going down the stairs because you wanted to prevent me from falling and breaking my ancestral jade bracelet?"
"Don't worry, Su Yuan. My ancestral jade bracelet is made from strong and precious materials, and it's been blessed with an immortal's magic. It's practically a magical artifact—there's no way it's so fragile that it would break just from a touch…"
"But you never know what might happen…" Su Yuan said with some worry.
"Even if it doesn't break, what if someone suddenly appears out of nowhere and snatches your jade bracelet away?"
"Trying to take something from me isn't that easy,"
Yelan said with a somewhat helpless smile.
"The only time I ever got caught off guard was when 'The Rich One' Pantalone tricked me and made off with my other ancestral jade bracelet…"
Yelan raised her left hand and looked at her empty wrist, sounding a bit sentimental:
"What used to be a pair of bracelets, now only one remains…"
Su Yuan suddenly had a bold guess in his heart: if Yelan's ancestral jade bracelet wasn't broken, then it must have been taken by a skilled expert…
Could it be that Pantalone has already come to Liyue, or perhaps one of the other Fatui Harbingers?
Or maybe that old fox Dottore has finally made his move?
Just as Su Yuan was lost in thought, Yelan spotted Gaming's figure not far away, walking toward the direction of the Bubu Pharmacy…
"Su Yuan, your intel really is accurate—when you say a few minutes, it's exactly a few minutes,"
Yelan said, pointing toward Gaming nearby,
"Look, isn't Gaming just coming over now!"
