A new day arrived, and the sun rose as usual, with warm sunlight streaming into Su Yuan's room.
Su Yuan suddenly sat up in bed, his clothes already soaked with sweat...
He had thought that the situation in Fontaine had mostly been resolved, and he should be able to sleep peacefully.
However, the night that had just passed, Su Yuan felt that he hadn't slept well at all.
But that wasn't important.
Feeling the sharp pain in both his left and right palms, Su Yuan couldn't wait to check today's rule information...
Wait... Su Yuan suddenly noticed something was wrong...
Why, when the new day arrived and he woke up, were both of his palms feeling sharp pain?
This was the first time such a thing had happened!
Su Yuan quickly raised both of his hands and looked at his palms...
On his left palm, there were a few large, prominent characters that immediately caught his attention:
[Do not go to Liyue! Do not go to Liyue!! Do not go to Liyue!!!]
Su Yuan was a bit surprised and confused.
What did "do not go to Liyue" mean?
Though he had been thinking that now that the Fontaine situation was coming to a close, he might leave Fontaine and visit other countries...
But he hadn't yet made up his mind on which country to go to...
Then, Su Yuan looked at his right palm, and immediately understood...
[First of all, congratulations on surviving the seventh night]
[The currently available information]
[Skipped...]
[19. Please immediately go to Liyue, Liyue needs your help... The disaster in Liyue is the least severe, but it is also the most critical]
[20. Your memory is very good, but sometimes, memories can be unreliable]
[21. Important information: Right now, you do not have the right to actively choose death... Whether through suicide or by inducing someone else to kill you, you will not be able to trigger the death rewind... Moreover, your death rewind count will no longer refresh every day, and you currently have only one chance... However, under certain conditions, it may be possible to increase the number of rewind...]
[Special information: Every time you survive seven nights, you will unlock a special and powerful ability... Upon meeting certain conditions, you will automatically know and trigger it]
[22. After surviving the eighth night, new information will be unlocked]
Su Yuan stared at rule #21, stunned...
What is going on?
His greatest trump card, the ability to rewind death, has changed to this?
He only has one final chance for a death rewind?
Moreover, he can't commit suicide or induce someone else to kill him?
Isn't the difficulty now a bit too high?
And why is this situation suddenly occurring?
Why did this strange prompt appear on his left palm when he woke up?
Now, the prompts on his left and right palms conflict with each other.
Which one should he trust?
Su Yuan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what choice to make...
So, Su Yuan decided to consult with everyone about this!
.............
When Su Yuan arrived at Neuvillette's office, he found that Neuvillette was the only one there.
Su Yuan was a bit confused.
He vaguely felt that there shouldn't be only Neuvillette here right now…
"Su Yuan, you're here," Neuvillette set down the document in his hand, looked at Su Yuan, and said.
"Yeah, I'm here," Su Yuan nodded and replied.
"Is there any new intel today?" Neuvillette asked.
"There's nothing particularly important today," Su Yuan said.
"Neuvillette, do you think I should leave Fontaine now?"
"Oh? Su Yuan, are you planning to leave Fontaine?"
Neuvillette showed a look of expected understanding and said:
"Well, you are the hero who must save Teyvat from the Eerie after all…"
"Before you leave, spend some time reuniting with everyone and say your goodbyes."
"No, Neuvillette, I haven't even decided if I'm really going to leave yet…" Su Yuan said, a bit speechless.
"Oh, is that so? I thought you were just being polite with me…" Neuvillette replied.
"Neuvillette, let me ask you a question. If you were faced with a serious decision, and two people gave you advice at the same time…"
Su Yuan looked at Neuvillette, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"One of them is someone relatively close to you, someone you interact with quite often…"
"But what they say isn't always accurate, and sometimes they make errors in judgment…"
"And the other person, although they seem high and mighty, and sometimes even deliberately mess with you… their words have always been completely accurate…"
"In this situation, whose advice would you follow?"
After hearing Su Yuan's words, Neuvillette fell into deep thought…
Then, Neuvillette slowly spoke:
"Su Yuan, why do you feel the need to follow someone else's advice at all?"
"Wouldn't it be better to follow your own heart and be your truest self?"
Neuvillette's words struck Su Yuan like a sudden awakening, and he suddenly came to a realization…
That's right—going forward, he no longer had the luxury of relying on death rewinds to gather information…
Without those informational guides, he could only follow his heart and walk each step earnestly…
"No, wait, Neuvillette, I did say it was just a hypothetical. Why are you putting that directly on me?"
Su Yuan looked at Neuvillette, a bit exasperated.
"But Neuvillette, there is one important thing I absolutely must tell you…"
Su Yuan spoke with a serious and earnest expression:
"My method of gathering intel has hit a bit of a roadblock…"
"In the future, I may not be able to obtain as much information as before…"
"I see…" Neuvillette nodded and replied, "But it's alright, Su Yuan."
"Your previous intel already helped me get through the most difficult phase of resisting the Eerie powers."
"You were bound to leave Fontaine one day. We can't always rely on your intelligence."
"No matter how convenient or useful something is, once dependence is formed, losing it becomes a fatal weakness."
Su Yuan nodded, looked at Neuvillette, and asked:
"Speaking of which, at this hour, why are you the only one in the office?"
"Where did Furina go?"
"There's a performing arts dance troupe from Sumeru that happened to arrive in Fontaine around this time. They came for some cultural exchange in the area of stage performances."
"I'm good at handling formal diplomatic occasions, but when it comes to things like this, Furina is better suited than I am."
"She seems to be getting along well with them. As for me, I thought I'd stay out of the excitement."
Sumeru? A dance troupe?
"The one leading them—could it be a young girl named Nilou?" Su Yuan asked instinctively.
