Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Several people followed Halfdan's steps and jumped down into the crack in the ground. The crack here was a strange purple-black color, and the twisted plants looked like the minions of demons.

The black mud completely dyed the land black. These black substances were all traces left after the death of the Hill people.

There was a cluster of fire flickering slightly not far away. When everyone walked over, they found that it was another group of hillbillies waiting for death.

A small part of it has disappeared and turned into light black mud.

"The Hillilchur people should become afraid of light in the last stage of their lives... Could it be that in their last moments, they still want to feel the light and warmth?" Dainsleb sighed, "Let's go and don't disturb them."

The group went a little deeper and found a small bouquet of flowers placed on the edge of a pile of straw where the Hill people once lived.

The flowers were as fresh and plump as if they had just been picked, with five petals surrounding the golden stamens, four of which were pure white and only one was light blue.

Paimon wondered, "How could there be such a flower so deep underground? It looks familiar..." Where had he seen it before?

Dainsreb: "This is the national flower of Kanreya - Intivat. It once bloomed in every corner of Kanreya."

"The flowering period of this flower is only two weeks, but if it is picked and taken away from the land of Kanreya, the petals will no longer grow and become very hard."

“Only when they return to their homeland will the petals become soft again and eventually disappear into the dust… Therefore, Inteivat also symbolizes the wanderer and the tenderness of the hometown.”

Dainsleib's voice slowed down, full of nostalgia and sentimentality, "Even though my memory has worn away too much, I always remember that she liked these flowers, too."

Sora's expression was serious. "I've seen this kind of flower before. The one my sister is wearing on her hair is exactly like this flower."

Su: "Then the appearance of these flowers here means that my sister may have been here before."

And she always wears such flowers... Does my sister regard Kanreya as her hometown?

Sora reached out his hand and touched the small bundle of Intivat. As expected, he saw the memory illusion related to his sister.

"Ying!" Kong suddenly stretched out his hand, as if trying to retain the phantom of the past.

"Kong, what's wrong with you?" Su worriedly held Kong, whose eyes were filled with sadness.

Kong covered his forehead and adjusted his emotions, "I saw what happened. This bouquet of flowers was indeed left by my sister."

There was a hint of envy in Dainsleb's tone, "Is this a wonderful connection that only belongs to twins..."

After Sora recovered, he described what he "saw".

Under the persuasion of the Abyss Apostle, Ying agreed to activate the device to amplify the power of the pool water to conduct an experiment to purify the hillock people. Even though the success rate of that experiment was less than 1% theoretically.

"I shouldn't continue to be indecisive. We are already in the abyss. Even if there is only one percent of hope... For them, it is better to return to the cycle as soon as possible than to live without dignity."

"That's what she said..." Sora didn't know what expression he should show.

There is less than a 1% chance of being saved, and a high chance of dying in agony...

No one has the right to make such a choice on behalf of other lives. He cannot agree with Ying's decision, and he feels sorry for Ying who has to make this decision with a heavy sense of guilt.

Su exploded, "Sister, isn't she being coaxed, coaxed and guided by the people of the Abyss Cult to do something she doesn't want to do?!" She is very familiar with this method!

"She clearly hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to carry out this plan under the guidance and urging of the Abyss Apostle!"

“The Abyss Cult is a bunch of rebels! How dare they treat their master like this! I have to help my sister clean up the mess!” From now on, she will kill every Abyss Apostle she sees!

Dainsleb was not surprised at all. "That stubborn guy hasn't given up yet."

"It seems that the plan implemented by the Abyss Cult here is to use the pool water to cleanse the curse on the hillock people, hoping to restore them and use this as the foundation for restoring the country. After all, without citizens, there is no country."

Paimon had some expectations, "Is this plan possible?"

"Unless a miracle happens, it's impossible," Deinsreb was very sure. "It's like an extremely painful and risky operation. The person who undergoes the operation often dies in the process."

Choosing these hillbillies who were at the end of their lives to conduct experiments was probably her last act of mercy.

"You must stay awake and remind yourself over and over again that they are no longer human. If you cling to them and invest too much emotion in them, you will only sink deeper and deeper, and eventually, like the Abyss Cult, you will sink into the mud of hypocrisy."

This is what Dainsleb once said to Ying. As for the effect of the persuasion——

Ying and he parted ways.

There was no time for everyone to be immersed in sadness. A dazzling light appeared in the direction of the room where the pool was. Then the purified energy surged, and the hillbillies and black snake knights covered by this energy all screamed in pain.

The Hilichurls who were originally sleeping peacefully let out shrill howls, and those who still had some strength even kept banging their heads against the wall, trying to end their lives early and stop the pain.

Dainsleb held down the half of his face covered by the mask, "...The Cult of the Abyss has begun to take action!"

A group of people rushed back to Chi Shui's room, and the Apostle of the Abyss was operating the small altar that Su had wanted to take away before.

Seeing Su and Kong drawing their weapons and pointing them at him, the Apostle of the Abyss' voice was filled with resentment towards Deinsreb, "Deinsreb... is so persistent and has once again united with your blood relatives!"

He was being chased too closely and had no time to confirm the teleportation network, and ended up teleporting Dainsreb here by mistake... It was a fatal mistake he made.

"Your Highness's will must be implemented, and interference must be eliminated at all costs! This time, we must completely eliminate the curse that tormented the people."

A sharp blade popped out from the Abyss Apostle's arm, "I won't run away. Come on, Dainsleb!"

Dainsleb drew his sword without any nonsense and killed the opponent neatly, then half-knelt on the ground and supported his body with the sword.

Sue responded, "He's also a member of Kanreya!"

Dainsleb had such a blank expression on his face that she even forgot that he was also cursed and would feel the burning pain from the purification!

Paimon was in a panic. "We need to turn off that device immediately! Where is the switch? Where is the switch?"

The power of the booster increased, and even the patient Dainsleb could not help but groan in pain, "Must they... all end their lives in extreme pain..."

In his vision, which was blurred by the severe pain, Halfdan's staggering figure appeared.

The greatsword that represented honor fell to the ground. Halfdan roared and rushed towards the source of pain.

He held the device tightly, using his body as a protective wall to block most of the purifying energy.

The knight who kept his promise struggled for a moment in extreme pain, and then remained motionless forever.

“Halfdan…” Dainsreb’s sadness was only revealed for a second. He quickly made a decision: “I am temporarily unable to act. There must be parts in those doors that shut down the amplifiers. I’ll leave it to you. Be quick! We can’t let Halfdan’s sacrifice go to waste.”

Su and Kong rushed into the room whose door Halfdan had opened earlier and destroyed all the devices that they had not had time to check before.

The device held by Halfdan was finally completely extinguished, the energy of the pool water was no longer surging, and the former Kanreya people no longer felt the pain of burning their bodies.

Dainsreb, who had recovered a little, stood in front of Halfdan. Although he sensed that Halfdan was dead, he couldn't help but want to confirm it again.

Sue saw Dainsleb close his eyes in disappointment, but when he opened them, he was the Riddler with a calm expression again.

This person seems to be accustomed to disappointment and loss.

But fate still had a little kindness towards him.

As Dainsleb turned to leave, a light appeared behind him.

Dainsreb turned around and saw Halfdan in his human form.

Halfdan saluted him like a knight of the palace guards. "I'm sorry, Lord Dainsleb, the Sword of the Last Light. I failed you at that time and failed to protect the people."

"No, you have fulfilled your responsibilities in the past five hundred years." Dainsleb returned the knight's salute to Halfdan and said firmly: "To this day, you are still my glory."

Halfdan showed a shy expression like a big boy. Finally, he confirmed with his captain: "Kanria has not been destroyed, right? After all, you are still standing here."

Dainsleb nodded seriously, "Yes." So, there is no need to restore the country.

Halfdan's soul contentedly faded into a faint light and disappeared.

Sora was puzzled: "Why Halfdan..." So can the Abyss Cult's experiment really remove the curse? The success rate is very low now, but if a more gentle and effective method can be found...

Dainsleb knew what Sora was thinking, "I told you, there is no way to remove or purify the curse of Kanria."

Halfdan exchanged everything for a moment of miracle. Can this be considered a success?

The naive princess was blinded by this slim so-called "hope". She should not have extended her arms of salvation to the monsters in the quagmire.

"There is more than one kind of strange power gathered here. It would not be surprising to see souls. If you want to continue exploring deep inside, you must be careful. Ahem..."

Dainsleb dragged his weak body and said goodbye, "I just hope that next time we meet, you won't stand on "that side"."
