Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 108: Ch : The best ending?

"Su... Yuan..."

"Don't... do it..."

Watching the Hydro Slime in front of him bouncing frantically, seemingly trying its best to stop his suicide, Su Yuan was stunned.

He turned to Neuvillette and asked, "Neuvillette, didn't you say that calling Focalors' name would make this Hydro Slime react, but only as a conditioned reflex?"

"Then why now... does it seem to have its own will, acting of its own accord like this?"

Neuvillette frowned slightly and looked toward the Hydro Slime, falling silent...

There was clearly no trace of Focalors' aura on this Hydro Slime...

But then why... was it exhibiting behavior so closely aligned with Focalors' personality?

And even speaking?

"Su Yuan, I did say earlier—all of that was merely my speculation..."

"But now, it seems I'll have to reassess this situation..."

Su Yuan stared at the Hydro Slime in front of him, unsure of what to feel or say...

Was it truly Focalors?

Or just a Hydro Slime carrying fragments of her memories?

But if it was only memory... just reacting to her name on instinct... then why would it take action like this?

"Neuvillette, Su Yuan, what on earth are you two doing?" Furina walked over and scooped the Hydro Slime into her arms.

"No matter what anyone says, to me—this is Focalors!"

"She responds to our voices, she's affectionate toward us, and just now, she even said your name. Isn't that enough proof?"

Looking at Furina's unwavering gaze, Su Yuan made a decision—to conduct one more test.

"Charlotte! Interview me," Su Yuan said. "Ask the questions exactly as I tell you!"

After a brief round of preparation, Charlotte began the interview with Su Yuan:

"Mr. Su Yuan, first question: Does sacrifice mean permanent disappearance?"

"No..."

"Second question: Is this Hydro Slime... Focalors?"

"Yes..."

Everyone watched Su Yuan and Charlotte with intense anticipation.

The truth behind these two critical questions could determine whether Focalors' existence was still continuing in some form...

"Haha... hahaha... Su Yuan..."

But in the next moment, Charlotte suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"How unfortunate... you actually answered two false questions in a row..."

Everyone immediately stepped back, putting distance between themselves and Charlotte, watching her with wary eyes...

Yet Su Yuan remained perfectly still, not moving an inch...

"So it really is like this? Then Charlotte, go ahead and kill me..."

Su Yuan slowly lifted his head and looked toward Charlotte—only to see her smiling brightly at him.

Her face hadn't turned crimson and twisted, nor did she show any signs of being overtaken by the Eerie.

"Haha, Su Yuan, don't be so gloomy! I was just messing with you!"

As she spoke, Charlotte waved her arms around animatedly and continued:

"Look at me, I'm not showing any signs of being controlled by the Eerie at all..."

"Which means—the two questions you just answered were both true!"

"Sacrifice doesn't mean complete annihilation, and that Hydro Slime is Focalors!"

"Is that really true? If it is... then that's wonderful..."

Su Yuan looked again at the Hydro Slime nestled in Furina's arms.

It seemed to blink at him several times, as if affirming what he had just said.

Yeah... Su Yuan finally came to terms with it—souls are vague and intangible, unseen and untouchable...

But memories? Memories are real, solid things.

This Hydro Slime possessed Focalors' memories.

It behaved like Focalors.

It even took the initiative to call out his name...

Even though its outward appearance was vastly different now, if it wasn't Focalors—then who else could it possibly be?

"Su Yuan, I've come to understand as well..."

At that moment, Neuvillette spoke.

"I didn't spend much time with Focalors. What I sensed back then—rather than calling it the aura of Focalors, it was more like the presence of the 'Hydro Archon'..."

"And now that the Hydro Archon's divine seat has been destroyed, and the Seven Archons have become Six, there is no Hydro Archon in this world anymore..."

"It's only natural that I can no longer sense that familiar aura..."

"Su Yuan, I didn't think things through before and said all those things to you. That was my mistake," Neuvillette said sincerely.

"...Forget it. It's alright."

At this moment, Su Yuan finally revealed a genuine, heartfelt smile.

"Even though things aren't perfect, we've done our best..."

"At the very least, there are no greater regrets left behind..."

"Yes, Su Yuan. You've already done more than enough..."

Neuvillette looked at Su Yuan and gave a deep bow. "Thank you for everything you've done—for Fontaine, and for Teyvat."

"Traveler, I feel like your spotlight's been stolen by Su Yuan," Paimon said teasingly to Aether as she watched the scene unfold.

"Before this, every time we went to a new nation, didn't you always get caught up in the heart of the events and end up as the key figure?"

"Aww, Paimon, you know I didn't start this journey for the spotlight..."

Aether chuckled.

Now that Fontaine's prophetic crisis had been resolved, he was truly happy from the bottom of his heart.

"My goal has always been to find my family, my kin... my sister."

"And all those so-called accomplishments... they were never mine alone."

Su Yuan knew that the prophecy crisis in Fontaine was finally over...

But the battle against the eerie still wasn't finished...

The real fight—was only just beginning!

He had already used three of his rewind chances today.

Barring any surprises, he should still have one stable rewind opportunity left—he had to make good use of it...

"Charlotte, tonight... come to my room," Su Yuan said instinctively.

"Eh?" Charlotte was instantly startled by his words.

Everyone else looked at Su Yuan with utterly confused expressions.

What kind of bold and wild words were those?

Su Yuan's face flushed slightly with embarrassment, and he quickly realized that what he said sounded a bit inappropriate.

Ahem.

"What I meant was, I'd like Charlotte to come interview me tonight. There are some things I want to confirm using the rules..."

Everyone understood—Su Yuan clearly wanted to use Charlotte's rule-based questioning ability to verify something important.

But... why did it have to be at night? Wouldn't broad daylight be more appropriate?

"But Su Yuan, wouldn't that be dangerous?" Furina said with concern.

"What if you answer incorrectly and Charlotte ends up falling into an Eerie state?"

Su Yuan didn't quite know how to explain it to everyone—after all, he still had one stable rewind chance today, but couldn't predict what unforeseen events might happen during the day.

If nothing happened during the day, then at night he could take advantage of that one rewind as a fail-safe to confirm some truths about the Eerie through Charlotte.

Even if he failed or accidentally died, he could rewind again—no real loss.

On the contrary, he'd gain even more intel...
