Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 96: Ch : Lyney and Lynette

When Lyney pushed open the door to Neuvillette's office, he found everyone inside staring at him with serious, guarded expressions.

Lyney showed a look of disappointment and sorrow as he asked,

"What's going on? Does no one like me? Am I not welcome here?"

"Lyney, drop the act. We've known for a while now... you've already been taken over by the Eerie," Su Yuan spoke up.

"Ah... just as Father said. Su Yuan, your intelligence network really is unfathomable..."

Lyney let out a soft sigh, then his expression began to twist, and an eerie aura slowly started emanating from his body...

"Lyney! What did you do to Lynette?!" Su Yuan demanded.

"Hehehehe... what did I do?"

Lyney suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"Of course, I completely disassembled her—turned her into a prop for my grand magic trick!"

Hearing that, Su Yuan instantly felt a wave of despair...

Could it be that Lynette's death was truly unavoidable?

"Come! Let me show you what my dear sister Lynette looks like now..."

As Lyney spoke, he removed his magician's top hat, reached inside, and began rummaging around for something.

"Enough!" Su Yuan shouted, unable to watch any longer.

"Neuvillette!"

If Lynette's death truly couldn't be prevented, then the most important thing now was to hold off and defeat Lyney, protect everyone here, and think of another way afterward.

But using their ultimate combined move with Neuvillette at the very start of the day... if anything unexpected happened after this, it could turn into something very troublesome...

"Su Yuan, don't be so hasty—let me try first!"

Sigewinne spoke up, interrupting Neuvillette and Su Yuan as they were about to cast their spell.

She stepped forward, taking out the piece of candy that was actually a disguised tranquilizer, and said:

"Mr. Lyney, this is a candy I carefully prepared. Would you like to try it?"

Su Yuan thought for a moment—that made sense!

Now that Sigewinne had prepared a tranquilizer candy like this, Lyney was in a dilemma: if he ate it, he'd be knocked out by the drug; if he refused, it would immediately trigger Sigewinne's conditions for turning eerie, resulting in a clash of Eerie versus Eerie...

But Su Yuan was still a bit worried—Sigewinne's eerie form was one of the weakest among the eerie combatants, wasn't she?

She probably wouldn't be a match for Lyney...

But then—Lyney made a move that completely caught Su Yuan off guard!

Lyney pretended to reach out with his left hand to take the candy from Sigewinne, but at the same time, his right hand suddenly transformed, producing a flurry of playing cards shrouded in eerie energy, which he hurled straight at Sigewinne's face!

He was trying to kill Sigewinne in that brief window before she could transform into her eerie form!

No one could quite explain what had happened— ƒreewebɳovel.com

Maybe it was because he sensed that Sigewinne's life was in danger, but Wriothesley, who had been lying on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes and, in a flash, lunged forward.

He tackled Sigewinne to the ground, narrowly dodging Lyney's attack!

However, Wriothesley's back shoulder was still grazed by one of Lyney's eerie-infused playing cards...

"Tch... just missed."

Lyney muttered with some frustration.

"I had accounted for any one of you rushing forward to save Sigewinne. I was prepared—if anyone dared charge in, they'd be dead on the spot..."

"But the one I didn't account for... was Wriothesley, lying quietly off to the side."

As he spoke, Lyney picked up the tranquilizer candy that had fallen from Sigewinne's hand and popped it into his mouth—because if he didn't, Sigewinne was going to become Eerie.

But to everyone's surprise—

Lyney showed no signs of drowsiness or fainting after eating the drugged candy.

That shouldn't be possible.

Even someone with Wriothesley's size and strength had been knocked out cold by that tranquilizer before.

So why didn't it work on Lyney?

Could it be that the constitution between people—and even between eerie and eerie—is fundamentally different?

If even this didn't work...

Then the only choice left was to let Neuvillette step in—

Otherwise, against the Eerie Lyney, no one here would be safe...

"Neuvillette..." Su Yuan spoke.

"Mm." Neuvillette nodded in response.

Just as everyone was bracing themselves to kneel to the ground in preparation—

a head suddenly peeked in from outside the door.

"Ta-da~ Lord Neuvillette, are you all in here?"

It was Lynette's face, Lynette's voice...

"Eh? Brother, you really are here!"

Huh?

Su Yuan: ???

Wasn't Lynette already dismembered by Lyney?

Then who—or what—was this Lynette now standing at the door?

"Lyney" turned around slowly, his gaze falling on Lynette, and then began walking toward her...

But Su Yuan quickly snapped out of his shock and shouted:

"Lynette! Run! It's dangerous! Lyney has already been taken over by the Eerie!"

However, his warning had no effect.

Lynette showed no intention of fleeing.

Lyney reached her and pulled her tightly into an embrace.

"Thank goodness... Lynette..."

"You're safe... I'm so, so glad..."

Only then did everyone notice—

The eerie aura surrounding Lyney had completely vanished.

Just moments ago,

he had already exited his Eerie state.

....................

Lyney spat the tranquilizer candy from his mouth, and everyone saw that it was wrapped in a thin layer of plastic...

After thinking for a moment, Lyney explained,

"When performing magic tricks, sometimes we pretend to swallow dangerous objects. In those cases, we wrap them in something to avoid injuring our mouth or esophagus..."

"I didn't expect that... even while under the Eerie's control, I still kept that habit."

Su Yuan suddenly understood—

So that's why Sigewinne's tranquilizer didn't work...

Wait—

So just putting it in the mouth didn't trigger Sigewinne's eerie transformation condition?

Hold on!

A bad feeling swept over Su Yuan—

Now that Lyney had taken the tranquilizer candy out of his mouth, wouldn't that mean Sigewinne was about to...?

Su Yuan quickly looked at Sigewinne—

Sure enough, her expression was already starting to look off...

"Lyney! Swallow it now!"

Su Yuan shouted, and without hesitation, shoved the tranquilizer candy back into Lyney's mouth.

................

After quite a bit of fuss and swallowing a bunch of antidotes, Lyney finally resolved the issue of the tranquilizer candy in his mouth—with Sigewinne's help.

"Lynette and I... even when carrying out missions, we're almost never apart."

Lyney took a moment to compose himself before speaking.

"But yesterday afternoon, due to some special circumstances, Lynette and I had no choice but to separate..."

"Not long after we parted ways, I lost my memory."

"I suppose... that must've been when I was taken over by the Eerie."

As he listened to Lyney's account, Su Yuan nodded.

It seemed that this was indeed the trigger condition for Lyney's eerie-fication.

However, based on Lyney's description, it wasn't an immediate transformation upon being separated.

There might be a time factor, or a distance factor involved—still to be confirmed.

As for how Lyney broke free from the eerie influence, the condition appeared simple:

Reuniting with Lynette.

It likely had something to do with their shared experiences growing up.

"By the way, Lyney," Su Yuan spoke up, "wasn't there something strange inside your hat? Could you check it for us?"

Hearing Su Yuan's words, Lyney reached into his hat—

And pulled out a bloody, severed head of Lynette...

"Brother, seriously? What kind of awful taste is that..."

Lynette said with an exasperated expression.

"You even turned one of my dummy props into a fake version of me, dressed it up to look like me, and made it so bloody on top of that..."

Su Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

So it had all been a misunderstanding...

But—why had the prompt in the palm of his left hand given misleading information?

Well, technically, it wasn't exactly wrong... it never made any absolute statements, only said things like "probably"...

Still, Su Yuan couldn't be bothered to overthink it now.

He spoke up:

"Since everything's been resolved, let's head to the Opera Epiclese right away and discuss our strategy with Focalors!"

"The All-Devouring Narwhal has already begun to stir—

The day the prophecy foretold... is drawing near."

"We have to be fully prepared—before it's too late!"
