Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 117: Ch : He took out his wallet and paid the bill himself

"Is that so? That really is a strange habit..." Yelan looked at Su Yuan with a thoughtful expression.

Just moments ago, Yelan had given Su Yuan a brief explanation about the situation in Liyue, and Su Yuan glanced at the nearby figure of Shopkeeper Liang—lying on the ground, his head blown apart by Yelan's arrow...

So this is the save point where he respawned?

Looks like there's no saving Shopkeeper Liang now...

But Su Yuan had already come to a painful realization earlier: he simply couldn't save everyone.

All he could do was protect the people he knew and cared about, as much as possible.

Since the message in his palm mentioned Yelan's eerie transformation, then most likely, he died by Yelan's hand last time...

And her transformation being related to "information"?

That made sense—Yelan was a professional intelligence agent.

It wouldn't be surprising if the conditions for her eerie transformation were linked to intel.

Could it be that Yelan's condition is triggered by hearing false information?

But if that's the case... it feels a little too similar to Charlotte's rules...

Speaking of which, Su Yuan just now realized a crucial point—Charlotte's eerie transformation rules were actually divided into two parts, though there was likely a sequential relationship between them.

If you refused to accept Charlotte's interview, she would enter an eerie state.

But even if you did accept the interview, if you then lied in response to her questions, she would also become eerie...

Now that he thought about it—what if Charlotte didn't explicitly request an interview, and you simply answered one of her questions with a lie? Would she still enter that eerie state?

Unfortunately, he had left Fontaine in such a rush that he hadn't had a chance to test this theory...

No, no... he was getting off track...

Su Yuan quickly pulled his thoughts back to the matter at hand.

His top priority right now was still to figure out the conditions for Yelan's eerie transformation...

"Su Yuan, weren't you going to share some intel?" Yelan asked, looking at him with a bit of confusion.

"I've pretty much told you everything I wanted to say, but why are you still staying silent?"

Su Yuan looked into Yelan's eyes, once again falling into deep thought...

If Yelan's eerie transformation condition was that she had to hear false intel, then that would imply the intel Su Yuan spoke was false...

But Su Yuan knew his own personality—if he wasn't absolutely certain about a piece of information, he wouldn't casually say it out loud.

Moreover, he had tried to use Charlotte's rules to test the truthfulness of intel about the eerie, but it had failed—proving there were indeed certain limitations on that kind of thing...

By analogy, if Yelan's rule really worked that way, then it must also have some kind of restriction.

However, since the prompt in his palm didn't mention anything like that, it suggested that Yelan's rule probably wasn't like that.

So, Su Yuan began to entertain another possibility: could it be that Yelan's eerie transformation rule was triggered when she heard unexpected intel?

Although Yelan was the top of the intelligence network in Liyue, the intel Su Yuan held was shocking and explosive.

Maybe when Yelan heard it, she realized her intel-gathering skills weren't on his level... her "dao heart" shattered, and she fell into an eerie state?

But regardless, the safest move right now was clear: do not share any intel with Yelan. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Yelan, I'm really sorry..." Su Yuan said apologetically.

"I've suddenly changed my mind... For now, I can't share any intel with you."

"But I still hope you can trust me..."

"Take me to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue Harbor. I want to see Mister Zhongli—there's something important I need to tell him..."

Hearing Su Yuan's words, Yelan frowned slightly and said, "Su Yuan, aren't you being a bit unfair?"

"You agreed to share intel with me, and now you're backing out and changing your mind all of a sudden. I really don't like that kind of behavior..."

"...Sigh..." Su Yuan let out a soft sigh.

"There's no helping it. After all, this concerns the condition that triggers your eerie transformation..."

"Me? The condition for my eerie transformation?" Yelan repeated, her expression turning thoughtful as she processed his words.

"Eerie transformation always has conditions—that much I had already suspected..."

"That elderly woman in Mingyun Village was a textbook example of a left-behind elder... She was always waiting and hoping for her son to return home, but he had actually died in an accident before the incident happened..."

"And as for that Shopkeeper Liang, he had a dispute over a tea order with Chunming Teahouse not long ago, and then he ended up like this..."

"Even though no Vision holders have shown signs of being affected by the eerie in Liyue so far, I know it's still a possibility..."

Yelan looked at Su Yuan and said, "Su Yuan, it seems like... you've learned quite a bit?"

"Just like my contacts in Fontaine said—your intel-gathering skills are really something..."

"Though I truly am curious... if I could also fall under eerie influence, what would my condition be?"

"But since you've already said all that, I won't press you any further..."

Yelan slowly spoke:

"I'll take you to Liyue Harbor..."

"But I do have a question. If it's something important regarding the eerie, why are you prioritizing seeing the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's Consultant, Mr. Zhongli, instead of going to the General Affairs Bureau, Liyue's higher-ups, or the Liyue Qixing?"

"Although I've heard he's well-versed and knowledgeable, the eerie is something that defies all logic—surely he wouldn't know much about it either, would he?"

"I have a feeling... that he might be aware," Su Yuan replied.

"Speaking of which, Yelan, do you know how Zhongli's been doing lately?"

"Mr. Zhongli... I actually happened to run into him just yesterday before I set out for Yilong wharf..."

Yelan recalled and said:

"Still the same as always—after finishing his duties at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, he was as calm and at ease as ever, sipping tea and listening to storytelling, completely unbothered!"

Hearing Yelan's account, Su Yuan let out a small sigh of relief.

It seemed that Old Man Zhongli wasn't showing any signs of being corrupted or controlled by the eerie... for now.

But Yelan's next words immediately made Su Yuan tense up again—

"But there was one thing I found strange. Right before I left yesterday, Mr. Zhongli was paying for his tea and the storytelling..."

"Unusually, instead of asking Iron Tongue Tian to put it on the Wangsheng Parlor's tab like he always does, he actually pulled out his own wallet and paid for it himself..."
