Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 152: Ch : Do the Eerie of this world exist inherently as evil?

Chapter 152 - Ch 152 : Do the Eerie of this world exist inherently as evil?

As for those three questions, Su Yuan didn't actually know the exact answers either...

Just like in the world he came from, people had debated for thousands of years whether human nature was inherently good or evil, without ever reaching a definitive conclusion.

These kinds of questions never have a standard answer—everyone has different perspectives, and they must be viewed dialectically...

Now, Su Yuan found himself at a crossroads—

Should he try to guess Jiang Xue's thoughts and answer the questions in the way Jiang Xue might want to hear?

Or should he follow his own heart and answer them honestly and sincerely?

In the end, Su Yuan decided to follow his heart and speak his truth.

"For the first question, I believe that monsters of this world aren't inherently evil..."

"It's like this—if you're a sheep, and you see a wolf, naturally you'll think the wolf is evil..."

"But from the wolf's perspective, eating sheep, eating meat—it's simply the instinct passed down through generations..."

"The environment they live in, the way they've been taught—it all determines that they eat sheep..."

"But if a wolf pup were raised from birth among a flock of sheep, and given plenty of food, I believe it might not only refrain from eating the sheep—it might even become their protector..."

"So here, I'll answer the second question along with it..."

"Whether it's monsters, immortals, or ordinary people, I don't believe anyone is born inherently good or evil. Everyone starts out as a blank slate..."

"Whether someone becomes good or bad, right or wrong, is shaped by their environment and their own choices..."

"As for the third question—whether defending the world is merely about using one's own heart to judge good and evil..."

"I believe it is."

"This world never had any absolute distinction between right and wrong, good and evil. The world you see is nothing more than a world judged through your own subjectivity..."

"What you believe to be right, others may see as wrong—and vice versa..."

"Hahaha..."

After hearing Su Yuan's words, Jiang Xue suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

"Alright then, tell me—what is it that you wanted to say to me? I'm all ears."

Su Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of joy—though he wasn't sure how well his words had landed, judging by Jiang Xue's reaction, it seemed that Jiang Xue accepted what he said!

Su Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Jiang Xue."

Then, right in front of Jiang Xue, Su Yuan told him everything about the Eerie incidents, one by one...

"So... it was the Eerie, huh..."

After listening to Su Yuan, Jiang Xue nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder, these past few days when I went fishing, I always felt like time was passing unusually fast..."

"So during that time, I was being controlled by the Eerie..."

Then, Jiang Xue asked a question that left everyone bewildered.

He looked up at Su Yuan and asked,

"Then tell me, Su Yuan—do you think the Eerie in this world... are born evil?"

That question truly stumped Su Yuan...

Because, as things stood, the Eerie seemed to represent horror and misfortune by nature.

Those who were corrupted or controlled by them would become strange—brutal, bloodthirsty, and violent...

But after the discussion he just had with Jiang Xue, Su Yuan began to wonder—maybe not all Eerie were that terrifying...

Take Jiang Xue, for example.

The Eerie-affected version of him had simply been obsessed with fishing.

He had shown no intention of harming anyone...

Only when someone disturbed his fishing would he take the initiative to attack...

"Su Yuan, do you think there might be Eerie beings in this world that not only refrain from harming others, but actually help people?" Jiang Xue continued speaking.

Su Yuan thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Perhaps such Eerie do exist..."

"It's just that... we haven't encountered one yet."

Hearing Su Yuan's reply, Jiang Xue also nodded and said, "Alright, I understand."

"I'm guessing the reason all of you came to find me was to invite me to join your team against the Eerie, right?"

"I can join you—but I have one condition."

Su Yuan nodded excitedly.

They'd finally reached this point?

Finally, would he be able to recruit Jiang Xue—this powerful expert—into the team fighting the Eerie?

He just didn't know yet what condition Jiang Xue would propose...

"As you can see, I don't have a job, and I don't have any Mora on me..."

"Though that cook always says I freeload, strictly speaking, I've never truly eaten for free..." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"I always use the fish I catch to pay off the cost of my meals..."

"But once I join you guys, I'll have to travel all over with you and won't have a fixed place to fish anymore..."

"So, you guys have to cover my meals," Jiang Xue said.

Everyone stared at him speechlessly.

They had expected some grand, earth-shaking condition—but it turned out to be this simple?

"No problem. From now on, your meals are fully covered by the Liyue General Affairs Office," Yelan agreed without hesitation.

"Well then, let's run a little experiment," Su Yuan said as he reached into his bag and pulled out the toy fishing set he had bought earlier from Granny Shan's toy stall, handing it over to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue looked at the toy in front of him with a bewildered expression, clearly unimpressed.

"Su Yuan, what is this supposed to be?" he asked.

"Is this some kind of onboarding gift for joining your anti-Eerie team?"

"I'm not a child anymore. I don't need stuff like this..."

"No no no, Jiang Xue, you've misunderstood," Su Yuan said with a smile.

"This is just an idea I came up with—a way to make use of the conditions under which you corrupted by Eerie ..."

"After all, who says toy fishing isn't still fishing?"

With that, Jiang Xue cooperated with the others and began the experiment.

And the moment Jiang Xue gripped the toy fishing rod, his entire aura shifted completely...

Su Yuan softly and cautiously asked, "Jiang Xue?"

Jiang Xue made a "shh" gesture and said, "Quiet... don't scare the fish away."

Although there wasn't any trace of eerie power emanating from Jiang Xue at the moment, everyone could tell—he had likely entered his eerie state...

No one dared disturb him.

Jiang Xue, one by one, fished up all the toy fish.

After a while, Jiang Xue's expression returned to normal, and the clarity returned to his eyes.

He rubbed his head and looked at the toy fish in front of him, puzzled.

"What... just happened?"

"I didn't expect this method would actually work."

"Jiang Xue, keep that toy fishing rod with you," Su Yuan said.

"From now on, whenever we run into a tough opponent, we'll need you to take that out and enter your fishing state..."

"That way, we might just be able to set up an Eerie versus Eerie scenario!"

Jiang Xue nodded, carefully wrapping the toy in a cloth and putting it away with great care.

At the top floor of Wangshu Inn, a small figure stood silently, watching everything unfold from above...

But his gaze wasn't focused on Jiang Xue—instead, it was locked onto Aether and Paimon, who were standing nearby, quietly observing.
