Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 120: Ch : Aji, Relentless in Pursuit

"Oh? So according to what you're saying, the people in this carriage are actually one of us?"

Hearing Aji's explanation, the Treasure Hoarder leader nodded thoughtfully...

"But even if you know him, we absolutely can't let him go!"

"Double-crossing one of our own—happens all the time, doesn't it?"

Yelan glanced at Su Yuan and remarked, "Su Yuan, I didn't expect you to be someone with as many identities as I am..."

"Who would've thought someone in the Treasure Hoarders actually knows you..."

"Yelan, let's wrap this up quickly—we're in a hurry," Su Yuan said calmly.

"Among them, the only one worth watching out for is Aji."

"Mm." Yelan nodded in agreement.

As expected, the whole group of Treasure Hoarders was effortlessly taken down by Yelan and Su Yuan.

Each of them was firmly tied up with Yelan's threads, lying on the ground, unable to move.

"Damn it... we really messed with the wrong people today..." The Treasure Hoarder leader glared at Aji, his face filled with frustration and anger.

"If that guy had such a powerful companion, why didn't you say something earlier?"

"I hereby declare, Aji—you are officially expelled from the Liyue Treasure Hoarders, Chenyu Vale Upper Division!"

"Boss, I'm innocent! This has nothing to do with me! I don't even know who that blue-haired woman is!" Aji said, on the verge of tears.

Then he quickly turned around and shifted his tone, addressing Yelan, "Miss, may I ask what your name is? And by the way... would you like me to help you hide?"

"Even though I only just arrived in Liyue not long ago, I've already scouted out several great hiding spots..."

Of course, Yelan remembered Su Yuan's earlier warning.

She gave a cold smirk and replied, "Hide me? No need... I'm quite skilled at hiding myself. I don't need your advice on that."

Seeing this, Su Yuan let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Running into Aji here had definitely been unexpected, but as long as they didn't trigger the rules of his eerie transformation, there shouldn't be any real problems.

"You really don't want me to help you hide?"

Aji's expression turned strange, a bit sorrowful, as he spoke...

"I was so warm-hearted and sincere, yet why do you keep rejecting me over and over?"

"This is the third time... the third time in a row you've turned me down..."

Seeing Aji's expression grow more and more twisted, Su Yuan felt a strong sense of impending danger.

He immediately shouted, "Yelan! Watch out! Get out of the way!"

"You must... let me help you hide!"

In the next moment, a loud bang rang out—Aji suddenly broke free from the silk threads that had bound him.

This completely caught Yelan off guard!

Aji's face began to contort grotesquely, and his fingers transformed into blades, slashing straight toward Yelan's throat!

Yelan reacted quickly, tilting her head back to dodge the deadly strike—but a thin line of blood still appeared on her neck...

"Damn! Aji, I didn't know you were this strong?!"

The other Treasure Hoarders were all stunned by what they saw.

They had all been bound by Yelan's silk threads and knew firsthand how tough and unbreakable they were.

But Aji had just broken free with ease, all by himself...

"Ahem... Aji... I take back what I said earlier..." their leader began nervously.

"I now fully realize the error of my ways. Our Treasure Hoarders in the Upper Division of Chenyu Vale need talents like you, so—"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Aji sliced his head into pieces in an instant. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Boss... even though you heartlessly abandoned me just now, I won't hold a grudge against you..."

"I'll be sure... to hide you away nice and proper..."

The rest of the Treasure Hoarders, realizing Aji was clearly not in a normal state, immediately shut their mouths and collapsed on the ground, pretending to be dead.

Su Yuan stared at Aji in shock—what was going on here?

Wasn't his condition for becoming eerie supposed to be when someone accepted his offer to help them hide?

Why was it that even after his request to hide someone was rejected, he still fell into an eerie state?

Could it be that the rules for eerie transformation change depending on the region?

That the rules in Fontaine are different from those in Liyue...?

No—that's not it! Or could it be that Aji had been in an eerie state from the very beginning?

That message on the palm... the one that said someone he knew had always been in an eerie state—could it have been referring to him?

If that was really the case, then Aji's "hiding" wasn't a condition that triggered the eerie transformation—but rather a condition that allowed him to drop the act.

And besides... Aji did just say it himself—this was the third time he'd been rejected...

The first time was with him, the second time was with Furina, and the third time... was just now, with Yelan.

After being rejected three times in a row—was that the point where he stopped pretending?

"Yelan, be careful," Su Yuan warned, looking over at her.

"Even though Aji was originally just an ordinary person, he's already fallen into an eerie state now. It's better to stay on guard!"

If it were someone with a Vision or a powerful fighter who had been corrupted and controlled by the eerie force, Su Yuan wouldn't even think about fighting.

He would definitely grab Yelan and run as fast as possible...

Never engage the eerie in direct combat—that was a lesson Su Yuan had learned the hard way, carved into him with blood.

But Su Yuan felt that he was no longer the same as before.

Now, he could use both Cryo and Hydro elements to control and coordinate during a fight...

Besides, Yelan also had plenty of experience dealing with eerily corrupted ordinary people...

They should... be fine, right?

However, Yelan's reaction completely took Su Yuan by surprise.

She shouted, "Su Yuan, run!"

Then, she grabbed his hand and instantly transformed into a blue, translucent silhouette, dragging Su Yuan into a full-speed escape!

"Never fight the eerie head-on, even if it's just an ordinary person," Yelan said to Su Yuan as they ran.

"I used to deal with those ordinary people controlled by the eerie through surprise attacks..."

"When it comes to direct combat strength, we are no match for the eerie!"

Su Yuan realized he had underestimated Yelan's caution—and overestimated his own abilities...

Yeah... he had just gained a bit of power and was already getting cocky.

Who gave him the confidence to think he could defeat an eerie head-on?

After all, the system message had clearly said: use Eerie to fight Eerie.

Yelan continued speaking:

"That guy named Aji—just from the way he attacked, I could tell he's very skilled. That's not something an average person can do..."

"Even if he weren't in an eerie state, someone like him would still be incredibly hard to deal with..."

"It's better if we put some distance between us first, shake him off, and then plan our next move..."

But in the very next moment, Aji suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead...

"You said you wanted to shake me off? How could that be possible?"

Aji said with a cheerful smile:

"Rather than thinking about such unrealistic things, wouldn't it be better to tell me—"

"Do you want me to place your eyes..."

"On the pavilion at Qingyun Peak, so they can admire the beautiful sunrise shrouded in mist?"

"Or leave them on the shores of Yaoguang Shoal, to feel the ebb and flow of the tides day and night?"
