Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

Chapter 248 The Fifth Clash of Hearts

Like all the mountains, rivers, plants and trees in this world, the demon god was born from heaven and earth.

Since we are born from heaven and earth, we must obey the laws of nature.

The law is called balance.

Then as twins formed from the same lightning,

The younger sister Baalzebub possesses the terrifying power of thunder, but the older sister Baal is so weak.

Where is the balance?

In authority,

Baal's authority is the heart. As long as the other party has a heart, or an organ similar to the heart, she can read, understand, and even subtly influence them.

She named it mind control, the true art of the emperor.

But as I said before, everything is in balance.

The heart of authority has a disadvantage that is not really a disadvantage.

She couldn't go against her will.

Everything she said and everything she did was what she wanted and what she thought in her heart.

She can recognize lies and deception, but she herself cannot lie or deceive.

What you hear, see and touch is all true.

So she is also called Raiden Zhen.

...

It was when she obtained the Heart of God that she decided to take her sister and leave the Dark Sea.

Along with the Heart of God, there were also words:

'Wherever destiny points you to, that's where your wishes will come true.'

Her initial wish was simple, just to find a place for herself and her sister to live.

There is no need to say much about the dangers lurking in the dark sea, and although that voice was emotionless, it was not false.

Then go and take a look, and leave if it’s not suitable.

The scene changed, and they were floating on the sea surface, with the younger sister leaning sideways to block in front of her.

Looking around again, all of them were demons staring at him eagerly.

Greed, anger, tyranny...all kinds of emotions made her frown.

"They are the ones I chose as my wives."

The next moment, a clear voice came from the air.

Subconsciously looking up, she saw that the thunder dragon hovering in the air gradually transformed into an extremely young man.

Rather than calling him a boy, it is more appropriate to call him a young man. Why?

'What a nice view,'

This is what He Li thought at that time.

It was also the first time that she could read someone's inner thoughts without using mind reading.

She had never seen such 'clean' eyes, as if she could see into his heart and his thoughts at a glance.

Because the admiration in the other person's eyes was not concealed, and was as pure and clear as that of the boy.

I don't know if it's because he is naturally defenseless or because he doesn't bother to hide it?

So she couldn't help but take a few more glances, wanting to see more of the 'truth' that she had rarely seen.

What is the real truth? It is very simple.

Those lies that require mind reading to identify and see through are not true.

Only those things that come out directly and unhindered from the heart are real.

...

This is the first collision between truth and 'truth', but...

"Who are you!"

The first time they looked at each other was interrupted by the sister's grin.

...

But the Inazuma Lady...she remembered that she was a little hesitant at first,

Taking over such a huge archipelago out of thin air was not only unfamiliar, but also because she had never done this kind of work before.

Can she do it?

'You can do it,'

She saw these words in the boy's eyes.

Not only did he look, he also said:

'Believe in yourself, there is no one better than you.'

It's like he understands me better than I understand myself.

But does she need to use mind reading? No,

Why? Because the boy proved with his actions that "belief" is not a lie.

Among the demon tribe, the young man was the first to unilaterally identify her as the leader of Inazuma.

Among humans, they gave up everything quickly and without any regrets.

She also jokingly asked the boy:

Why do I feel like you are forcing me to do something I don't want to do?

She still remembers the boy's eyes at that time:

Because even without me, you can get to that position, but since I'm here, I can help in any way I can.

'Believe' is more than just talk.

...

This is the second collision between truth and 'truth'.

...

She had almost forgotten how she got to this position. She only remembered that the boy helped her a lot and made her feel much more relaxed.

But logically speaking, after she successfully became a leader, the boy's goal had been achieved, and he should have just walked away after getting rid of his burden.

Isn’t the young man’s goal to dump the burden of Inazuma on himself?

This was what she had thought before.

result...

'I've made some milk for you. If you're tired, take a break. I'll go cook for you...'

Looking at the boy's back in the kitchen, she was a little confused.

It is true that their relationship got better during that time, but it wasn't...that good.

But cooking was just the beginning. The boy began to appear in every aspect of her work.

Daily life, trivial matters...

In less than two days, she couldn't help but say,

'You don't have to take care of me like this, you've already helped me enough.'

'But...'

In her memory, the boy seemed to be stunned, as if hesitating, or making up excuses.

Perhaps he couldn't find a good reason after making up so many stories, so he could only say:

"But Inazuma has so many things to do that you can't take care of anything else."

Inexplicably, she saw regret, apology, sadness, etc. in the boy's eyes...

Those words make up a two-word 'mercy',

The object of pity is... me?

She didn't understand where the pity came from, and she resisted the urge to read his mind, so she could only gently persuade him:

"It was my own choice to be a leader. No matter how many things I have to do, they are what I should do."

But she didn't expect the boy to shake his head:

'I didn't ask you not to do those things, I just wanted to make sure that you wouldn't be burdened by things other than those things.'

The boy's eyes told her that this was true.

Faced with this 'truth', she didn't know what to say.

It was true that she cherished this kind of "truth", but she also felt that she shouldn't take advantage of his "truth" and enjoy those things with a clear conscience.

So she thought for a while before answering:

"Then let's do it one at a time. You take care of me once, and you have to let me take care of you once."

This is a transaction.

When she thought back on it later, she realized that the initial exchange of sincerity for sincerity came from here.

...

Sincerity is exchanged for sincerity, and thus sincerity and 'truth' collide for the third time.

...

After becoming a leader, time seemed to speed up, and many years passed in the blink of an eye.

The boy fulfilled his words and completed small tasks for her beyond what the God of Thunder did.

At first, I just cooked, boiled milk, and reminded people to go to bed.

Later, perhaps because of the closeness, the distance gradually shortened - combing hair, massage, buying clothes...

And she also silently fulfilled her deal,

Haircuts, beard trims, sewing clothes -

Men and women always have different opinions on small matters, and the specific considerations need to be discussed by both parties.

However, during the discussion, the two began to bargain again - bargaining is normal in a transaction.

But their bargaining was the opposite.

"Mr. Lei Long, winter is coming. I will knit a scarf for you."

"Okay, but before that, you have to let me press it for half a month."

"A month? No, I have to knit you a dress."

"No, no, the clothes...will take two months..."

There is no such thing as bargaining in reverse.

Yes, she saw that the boy was not very willing for her to make this "deal".

why?

She saw two words from the boy's actions: owed -

owe?

When did the boy owe her anything?

But she didn't want to read the boy's mind, so she could only ask:

"Lei Longjun, why do you always take care of me like this?"

'because...'

The boy was really stuck. Every time she asked this question, he would get stuck. It became very interesting.

But she really enjoyed this fun, so she always held her chin and waited with interest.

Waiting for his reason,

Waiting for his 'truth'.

But he didn't do that this time. Instead, he thought for a long time and suddenly said:

'Because I like you.'

...

The fourth collision between truth and 'truth' did not come.

Why didn't you come?

Because she could see from those eyes that what the boy said was not 'true'.

...

There are only zero and countless times of this kind of thing.

Maybe it's because it comes more and more often.

'Why did you help me become the God of Thunder?'

'Because I like you,'

'Why do you take care of me so much?'

'Because I like you,'

"Why are you..."

'Because I like you.'

The boy's actions remain the same, her trade remains the same,

Even the boy's sense of 'debt' has not changed,

The only thing that changes is the truth.

She couldn't understand why the boy who never cheated would want to cover up his "debt" even if he lied.

She tried to use mind reading more than once to read out the so-called debt.

Maybe if he reads it, the boy will stop lying, and the two of them will return to their old ways...

but--

The lie revealed by mind reading, the 'truth' after correction is no longer 'truth',

Those words that are truly unconcealed and come out freely from the heart are the "true" ones.

That's why she kept asking him over and over again.

What I hope is that I won't get that answer from him again.

not to mention,

What if he actually doesn't want me to know about the so-called "debt", at least he doesn't want me to know it now?

Since you don't want me to know, then I won't know.

In the end, she chose to let the boy tell her himself.

...

The fourth collision between 'truth' and truth has just occurred.

...

But one day they had a quarrel. Although it was a quarrel, it was not like other couples who either quarreled or had a cold war.

The transaction was still going on, but she felt something new between them.

Where does the awkwardness come from?

It was still a familiar confession.

But maybe it was because time had passed, maybe the two of them were already very familiar with each other, or maybe I was not thinking clearly at that time...

She suddenly asked:

"Lei Longjun always says he likes me, why don't you ask me?"

The boy's answer at that time was very poetic, or it could be said to be a poem:

'I see how charming the green mountains are, and I think the green mountains see me the same way.'

Very standard love words, even mixed with some narcissism,

But no matter how you look at it, there are actually only two answers - yes or no.

What was her answer then?

Only two words:

'Feel sorry. '

...

Sorry is a very interesting word. It has neither positive nor negative meanings. In theory, it is a neutral word.

But in the context of that time, it sounded derogatory no matter how you listened to it.

The boy thought so, so he turned and left like all rejected men.

But she is not an ordinary person, she is the devil of the heart.

What she said was what she really thought.

When she doesn't have an answer in her heart, she often chooses to remain silent.

So her answer should only be 'yes' or 'no'.

As it should be,

But why did she say "sorry"?

why?

Because she had no answers.

...

But since then, the boy's excuse of "because I like you" has appeared less and less frequently.

This is a very good sign. She is very happy.

But at the same time, she felt that there was something extra between them.

That thing is called sense of distance.

The boy's 'true' self had returned, but she was not as happy as she had imagined.

...

Later, Narujin Taisha was built, the shogunate was established, and Inazuma was unified.

Things are getting better step by step.

It was not until the end of the Demon God War and the communication from other Demon Gods came from the Inazuma Earth Vein that she knew.

It turned out that what she obtained at the beginning was the proof of the rule of thunder, the symbol of Inazuma Thunder God.

But at that time, she no longer needed anyone to prove herself, as she had already become Inazuma's Thunder God.

The Demon God War was over, and the boy was very happy to learn that the Seven Gods would gather at Inazuma.

There is still no need to read minds, the happiness can be seen from the eyes,

That is also 'true'.

She didn't know at first where the 'truth' came from and who it belonged to.

...

until...

"Can you go back to Liyue with me?"

Now she knows.

...

They have a really good relationship.

The two of them stood together, and it seemed that no one could get in the way. Even the Wind God obediently made room for them.

They chatted, drank, and laughed heartily together.

Very sincere.

"Zhen, will He Jun go to Liyue?"

Ying seemed to be very concerned about this question and kept asking her,

Maybe she thinks she knows everything.

Will Lei Longjun go?

she does not know,

But watching them drinking and clinking glasses,

She also felt that it was more likely that Lord Lei Long would go to Liyue.

Do you want to say it out loud?

There is no need to say it out loud, just the feeling passing through your heart will feel like being pricked by a needle, fine and sharp.

It turns out that if you can't think of it in your mind, you can't express it out loud.

So we can only judge the possibility of him staying in Inazuma.

Is it possible for him to stay at Inazuma? Or is there anything in Inazuma that can keep him?

There are three monsters who worship him as their elder brother and obey him in almost everything.

Ying is also here. Although he doesn't like to talk, the relationship between them is very good. You can tell from how much Ying cares about him.

I am here too. He said a long time ago that helping me is helping him. Now that I have become the God of Thunder, why would he leave when I haven't helped him yet?

She didn't know how reluctant this answer was, but she still said to Ying:

"He will stay here, because the God of Thunder is still in Inazuma."

The former was unimaginable and unspeakable, so she could only say the latter.

It is hard to imagine that this was the reason why the Demon of Heart spoke insincerely for the first time.

...

She is not 'real' anymore,

why?

She couldn't figure it out.

...

The answer was revealed soon after when the water goddess Egolia asked her a question.

"So Miss Bhaer likes him?"

"..."

She was silent, as if thinking.

But Egolia didn't give her time to think, and continued:

"That means I don't like it."

"no,"

This time she answered very quickly and decisively.

"That means I like you,"

The water god chuckled:

"Since you don't dislike it, then you just like it."

There are only two answers to like.

No apologies.
