Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 944 Alice: Is this substitute literature?

"Okay, third question," Alice took note of the information and continued asking.

"I need to know his past, especially his experiences before coming to Teyvat!"

The man in the top hat thinks Alice wants to know Arthur's story, so he asks, "His story is very long. What do you need to know?"

Alice thought about it for a moment, then narrowed the scope of the question and said, "I want to know what the most vulnerable thing in his heart is."

However, the man in the tall hat shook his head, seeming still not satisfied with this range.

"Be more specific."

Alice's eyes unconsciously glanced around and asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.

"I want to know why he would do so many things for Ying. I heard that Shao Yun's emotional journey towards Ying is a bit strange?"

Then, Alice expressed her deep confusion about why Shao Yun was so good to Ying.

"If Shao Yun was only attracted by Ying's beauty, then during this journey, he would have had countless opportunities to enjoy the bodies of those beautiful girls from various countries."

"There are obviously many girls who are willing to spend the night with him. Is it just because of Ying's stunning and extraordinary beauty that he would be so determined to hang himself on this tree?"

"I don't believe there is such a self-disciplined man in the world, especially someone as powerful as him."

As soon as the flatterer heard about the emotional issues, he immediately showed his sophistry.

He began to answer in an ambiguous, half-truthful way:

"Mr. Arthur Morgan once had a wife and children. Their names were Eliza and Isaac..."

Alice was stunned when she heard this.

She widened her eyes and looked at the man in the top hat in disbelief.

"Shao Yun... is he married?"

This sudden news caught her off guard.

Seeing this, the man in the tall hat nodded slowly, and then began to tell the emotional history of "Arthur".

"Yes, Eliza was a young waitress he once met, and she was pregnant with his son, Isaac."

"Eliza was only about nineteen when she became pregnant. When she became pregnant, she already knew who 'he' was and what kind of criminal life 'he' led.

"He didn't want to promise something he couldn't keep, but he said he would treat mother and child well."

"Every few months, he would go and stay with Eliza and Isaac for a few days."

"But one day when he arrived at the mother and son's residence, he saw two crosses outside and he immediately realized that the two were dead."

"Some desperate people came to Eliza's place, robbed them for ten dollars, and killed them. So he became cold-blooded..."

After Alice heard the story told by the devil, she felt as if "the toilet had been opened".

Why is it called "the toilet is suddenly opened"? Because the mouth is full of fertilizer.

"I see. That is to say, now that Shao Yun is living the life he has always dreamed of, he will never tolerate anyone destroying everything he has achieved."

"Everything makes sense now! No wonder Fengshen blamed Shao Yun for falling in love with Ying, saying that if Shao Yun had fallen in love with another woman, perhaps these things would not have happened."

"He just needs a woman to perform a bloody substitute literature!"

Alice mistakenly thought this was some kind of substitute literature! However, the man in the tall hat standing next to her disagreed with Alice's conclusion.

Its originally calm face now revealed a hint of contempt and disdain for her.

Some things cannot be simply generalized, nor can they be over-associated.

Because excessive association often leads to counterproductive results.

……

However, the man in the tall hat did not remind Alice.

Because Alice had fallen into the trap he had set, and this was exactly what he expected.

In fact, Shao Yun and Ying did not engage in any substitute literature.

He just followed his memory and chose a path that he had not chosen before, and continued walking on it.

If this path doesn't work, then he will continue on the path of desperado until the end!

This is why he calls Ying his reality anchor...

……

Finally, the man in the top hat looked at Alice and asked calmly, "Is there anything else you need to ask?"

Alice asked the fourth question, which was more like a request to be exact.

"Okay, next, please answer the fourth question. I need you to stop Shao Yun from killing the God of Wind!"

When the man in the tall hat heard that he was asked to stop Shao Yun from killing the God of Wind, he was helpless.

"No, I can't do it. That boy with mint in his mouth had sentenced himself to death the moment he first met me."

Wendy attacked it out of fear.

The arrow that could have destroyed the world did not hit the devil in front of Wendy. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind and turned back abruptly. The arrow hit him right in the middle of his eyebrows and took his life.

Alice didn't understand what Wendy meant by sentencing herself to death, and asked, "What does that mean? I don't quite understand."

The man in the top hat explained slowly, with an irresistible sense of fate in his voice: "It means exactly what it says..."

In short, his death was already predetermined.

Alice thought that the devil in front of her was unwilling to help, so she asked, "Since you are unwilling to help, then...what can you do to save the God of Wind?"

The man in the top hat does have a way to save the God of Wind, and the method is actually very simple, so simple that anyone can think of it.

"As long as the Wind God abides by the agreement he made, and keeps running away, running to the ends of the earth, running to the end of time, and never meeting Shao Yun again in this life, then he can survive."

When Alice heard this, she realized that she had let Wendy escape.

But is this really possible? Fengshen is determined to kill Shao Yun!

So, Alice's eyes suddenly focused, and she asked the devil a crucial question, but also a very stupid question.

"Can you kill Shao Yun?"

When the flattering man heard this question, he did not answer it immediately, but reminded: "This is the fifth question."

Alice gritted her teeth and admitted without hesitation: "Yes, this is the fifth question!"

Before answering the question, the man in the top hat asked again: "Why did you kill him?"

Alice held up two fingers and replied coldly: "If these two people must die at the same time, then if Shao Yun dies, there shouldn't be any major problems in the world of Teyvat."

"But, if Wendy dies, Teyvat will collapse, and the Four Kage of Heaven will definitely die. At that time, the sky will collapse and the earth will split, the Abyss will take the opportunity to invade, and everything will collapse!"

"I tried to persuade Shao Yun, but he's too crazy! If he can just calm down, everything can be negotiated!"

"But if he insists on killing the Wind God, then I can only... do whatever I can to choose the lesser of two evils."

The man in the tall hat looked at Alice, who was deeply troubled by her obsession, and felt secretly proud of himself. He was quite satisfied with her current state.

However, despite this in his heart, his face still maintained a calm look, without any ripples.

"I'm not here to listen to your complaints... I can't help you with that. Any other questions?"

When Alice heard that the devil in front of her couldn't kill Shao Yun, her face suddenly changed and she cursed angrily:

"You are teasing me! We clearly agreed on the terms before. If you cannot complete the task, you must..."

The man in the tall hat kept his promise and answered without any excuse: "Then how can I compensate you?"

If Alice chose to end it now and cut the loss in time, perhaps everything would still be in time.

Alice straightened up and demanded forcefully: "You must tell me what method is there to kill Shao Yun! I don't want any compensation! I'm not here to waste my time!"

Faced with Alice's aggressive attitude, the man in the tall hat answered her question in an obscure way.

Because it had promised Shao Yun not to harm his wife and children, it could only use hints.

"Well, I can give you an answer to this question." The man in the tall hat said slowly, "Loyalty is both his salvation and his curse. He has suffered for it before."

“But the only lesson man has learned from history is that man has never learned any lesson from history.”

Alice understood the metaphor of the man in the flattering hat, which was to ask Alice to instigate Ying to kill Shao Yun.

After all, a fortress is most easily breached from the inside. However, is this method really feasible?

If I fail, what will Shao Yun do?

Just thinking about it makes Alice shudder!

He would kill himself and then raise Kelly as his own child. He would definitely do such a crazy thing!

At present, Alice still thinks that this plan is absolutely not feasible!

But what will happen in the future? Alice has no idea.

However, what Alice didn't know was that the last words the devil said were actually describing her at this moment...

……

This question from Alice was her last one, and at this point, she had no other questions she wanted to ask.

So she calmly ended the inquiry and asked directly what price she would have to pay for it.

"I have asked all the questions I should ask. What price do I need to pay next?"

The man in the top hat saw that it was finally his turn to collect his reward. He slowly put his hands behind his back and said thoughtfully, "Hmm... well, do you know the story of 'Satan'?"

When Alice heard the name, she was stunned and asked in confusion, "Who?"

The man in the flattering hat looked around the room, muttering to himself what was on his mind.

"I can't help but wonder whether the most loyal believer of the Wind God will repeat his mistakes..."

When Alice heard the words "the most loyal believer of the God of Wind", Barbara's figure immediately appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but feel fear. Could it be that this devil was going to do something bad to Barbara?

"Wait a moment!!!"

Alice shouted hurriedly, but the man in the top hat didn't give her any chance to react. He flashed and disappeared from Alice's sight in an instant.

Albedo watched the devil disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye, turned to look at Alice, and asked calmly: "Ms. Alice, was this meeting effective?"

Alice nodded. She did get some important information from the devil, as well as some ways to deal with it...

(But at what cost, Gul'dan?)

Alice swallowed nervously and said in a trembling voice:

"I... I'm not sure, but did we just sacrifice Barbara?"

Albedo was silent for a moment, then slowly replied: "Maybe..."

Alice held the back of her head tightly with both hands, as if she was regretting it a little...

However, she still held on to a glimmer of hope and said, "No! As long as we can stop Shao Yun from killing the God of Wind, then Barbara should be fine."

"Let everything end peacefully, then nothing will happen to Barbara!"

"Now we know the motives behind everything Shao Yun did. Now Shao Yun and I have something to talk about!"

"As long as the Wind God hides, Shao Yun will absolutely, absolutely not waste time chasing after the Wind God!"

"As long as we drag him over, he will leave, and everything will land smoothly!"

Alice thought that since she knew Shao Yun's past, she could empathize with him and persuade him to calm down over time.

But what Alice didn't know was that because of her impatience and fear of losing, she fell into the devil's scheme.
