Teppei explained, "You don't have many words, usually Paimon next to you, but you speak very briefly, and you have a strange sense of distance. ”

"This sense of distance gives me the feeling that you are not a human, but a god, but now Teyvat seems to have no other demon gods other than the seven gods."

"I'm thinking too much." Ying replied helplessly.

Listening to Ying's words, Zheping smiled a little bitterly: "Haha, I think so too, how could I, Zheping, be watched by the gods?" ”

Ying: "."

"Teppei, didn't you notice that the atmosphere here is something special?" Paimon asked suddenly.

Zheping touched his chin and analyzed: "In this way, I also feel it, maybe it's because this place is close to the bones of the demon god Orobas, and the aura of the god with him is relatively strong, right?" ”

"Demon God Orobas, that's"

Teppei pointed to the giant skeleton on the opposite island and explained to Paimon, "Look, that's the skeleton left behind by Orobus. ”

"Wow! Such a big snake bone looks so scary! Paimon exclaimed.

"It was Orobus who brought our ancestors from the Enshita Palace to the ground, and we have today's Watatsumi Island."

"Our ancestors have always regarded it as a guardian deity, but during the Demon God War, Orobus invaded the island of Yachiyu."

Raiden Shogun himself came and slashed him with a thoughtless sword. That knife also formed today's thoughtless blade. ”

After listening to Teppei's explanation, Paimon said in disbelief, "The Blade of Thoughtlessness was actually cut out by Raiden Shogun. It's amazing."

"Well, it's amazing." Ying agreed, even the shield given by the tassel was almost shattered under the shadow of the knife, you must know that the tassel has another identity, that is, the adventist.

"Yes, I was also surprised to hear that you could take the general's thoughtless sword, this is not something that ordinary people can do." Zheping pointed out.

Ying replied, "It was a life-saving method given by a friend, but it is no longer effective." ”

"I see, I guess your friend is very strong." Zheping said with emotion.

Ying was silent in place, not answering Zheping's emotion.

Teppei continued, "However, the Demon God War was extremely cruel, and the island was reduced to ruins in that battle, and it is said that the shogun also lost the things he cherished at that time. ”

"After the death of Orobus, there was much discord between Watatsumi Island and the shogunate. But this time the rebels were formed, not for faith, but for the eye hunting order. ”

"Orobus destroyed civilization, and it was the general who stood up and stopped it."

"Now that the general has issued an eye-hunting decree to deprive the people of their wishes, someone must stand up and stop the general... Ahem. With that, Teppei began to cough violently again.

Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ying: "I'll go back first, I just finished dealing with the elite samurai of the shogunate army, I'll go back and rest for a while, and there will be other things to do later." ”

"You should report to Sangonomiya-sama as well. Maybe there is still a residual aura here, and staying here for a long time is not good for your health."

Saying this, Teppei coughed violently again.

Seeing this, Ying opened his mouth and said, "Be careful yourself. ”

"Don't worry, my body is tough." Zheping listened to Ying's words and replied with a smile.

Ying's answer to Teppei was undeniable, and she quietly watched Teppei turn around and leave.

Paimon said on the side, "I didn't expect Teppei to be able to fight with the samurai of the Shogunate Army, and before I knew it, he had grown a lot." ”

"He's dying." Ying sighed.

"Huh? Why? Paimon scratched his head.

Ying replied: "I also told him before, although I don't know what he used to convert his life force into combat power, but this method is not advisable, I persuaded him twice, he still followed his own ideas, and I couldn't help it." ”

"Hmm, what do we do then? And Ying, how did you find out that Teppei's life force was passing? Paimon wondered.

"After using the power imparted by the tassel, I was deeply touched by the strange thing of vitality, and when we first met, Teppei's vitality was significantly reduced, probably like a middle-aged man, and now we see Teppei's vitality like an octogenarian."

"Wow, the tassel is really amazing, I'm afraid this is an out-of-world power, right?" Paimon doesn't care about Teppei's question, instead asks Ying about the tassel.

"Yes, Tassel said before that we get the power from outside the world that can negate the world." Glowing replied with a glance at Paimon.

"Tassel, she's going to deny the world?!" Paimon exclaimed.

Ying heard Paimon's exclamation and wondered, "Paimon, what's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing. But isn't the tassel the same as your brother and Dainsleif? Is her goal also a god in the sky? ”

Ying replied, "No, I guessed." ”

"Whew, that's fine." Paimon said with a sigh of relief.

"Paimon, why do you care so much about tassels? Does she really have the power to deny the world? Ying asked curiously.

"Well, how can I say it, she's even more terrifying than your brother and the Abyss Order combined, if it's her," Paimon replied with some cringe, not even saying the rest of the words.

"Paimon, you say, if Tassel joins us and attacks the Heavenly Throne when the time comes, will we win?"

Paimon: "??? ”

"Yes, yes?" Paimon was silent for a moment, then replied uncertainly.

Ying suddenly turned to Paimon and asked, "Paimon, what kind of god do you think Tassel is?" ”

Paimon thought for a moment and replied, "Well, I think about it, a very mysterious, very powerful, delicious cook, but also a very salty person, and Paimon is also the person Paimon can't mess with." ”

"Oh? Compared to Diluc? ”

"There's no comparison, how can Lord Diluc compare to tassels? No, Ying, are you talking to me? So angry! Paimon came back to his senses and said to Ying in a huff.

Ying smiled and teased Paimon, "Noticed? Paimon isn't as stupid as I thought he was. ”

"I'm so angry, Ying, how can you do this? I won't forgive you for not having a week of immortal jumping over the wall for this matter. ”

"Good, good. When Inazuma's business is done, I will invite you to eat a month's fairy jumping over the wall, three times a day. ”

"Wow! I'm so happy, so what are we waiting for, hurry up and solve the matter of the Eye Hunting Order! Hearing that three times a day the immortal jumped over the wall, and that there was still a month, Paimon's eyes changed to the shape of the immortal jumping over the wall, and he directly forgot about the previous unpleasantness.

Ying looked at Paimon's appearance at this time and complained, "It's you." ”

"Hehe, because there is food, Ying, I forgive you for talking to me, let's go back and report to Xinhai quickly." Paimon excitedly urged Ying.

Excited, Paimon mutters delicious food all the way, making her head go big.

"Kokomi, let's go back. Hey, Gorou is there, too. ”

As soon as he arrived at the Sango Palace, Paimon rushed in to greet Kokomi, but he didn't expect to see an unexpected person.

Paimon looked at Gorou and Sangonomiya Kokomi discussing something with a serious face, and said to Ying next to him, "Did something happen?" Their expressions look so serious."

"How many people are there who have this kind of anomaly?" Sangonomiya Kokomi asked Gorou.

Gorou replied, "I haven't had time to complete the statistics yet."

When Ying and Paimon got closer, Paimon interjected, "Kokomi, Gorou, what's going on?" ”

"Travelers, some of the rebel sergeants have recently shown strange signs of aging." Hearing Paimon's voice, Gorou turned to Ying and replied.

"I called them in for questioning, and I found out that they had secretly obtained some secret weapons from the funders."

"Most of them are competitive and extremely dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order, and they have been quietly using these secret weapons since they got them."

Listening to Goro's words, Sangonomiya Kokomi said, "No wonder the battle has been going unusually well recently... But this is by no means the right way and must be banned as soon as possible. ”

"Gorou, did you get their so-called secret weapon?"

"Most of the people with secret weapons won't hand it over, but I got one," Gorou replied, pulling a familiar black item from his pocket.

"It's . The evil eye of the Fatui. Ying looked at the things in Gorou's hand and said in surprise.

"Traveler, how do you know about this?" Paimon wondered.

"It's not important, now I know why Teppei's vitality is passing quickly." Ying replied, rubbing her chin.

Gorou listened to Ying's words and said thoughtfully, "So, the identity of the sponsor is actually the Fatui?" ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi touched his chin and wondered, "But why did the Fatui do this."

"There's no time to think about it, the most important thing now is to inform the army as soon as possible to abandon the use of the evil eye." Sangonomiya Kokomi hurriedly ordered: "Soldiers who have had abnormalities recently need to be treated, and I hope they can catch up." ”

"So, the Zheping you mentioned before Ying should also be this problem, but you said before that Zheping's vitality is already like an octogenarian old man, will it, forget it, let's hurry over, I hope we can catch up."

"Okay." The first way of the glow.

Sangonomiya Kokomi said, "Gorou, we are also going to the rebel camp, and we must immediately stop the circulation of the evil eye. ”

"Yes, Sango-sama!" Gorou replied solemnly.

When Ying and Paimon rush to Teppei's residence, they find that Teppei is not at home.

Paimon said with some confusion, "What about Teppei?" Where did the people go? Shouldn't he rest at this time? ”

"Here he is, by the wall next to the house, but by this time his life is like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment." Ying looked at Teppei's location and said to Paimon.

"Huh? No way? Did Teppei use that evil eye again? Ying, didn't you say that he shouldn't use it? Paimon said anxiously.

"Let's go check it out." Ying didn't say anything else and walked towards Teppei's position.

At this time, Teppei, who had an old face, was leaning against the wall, and his original gray hair had become completely snow-white, which was different from the tasseled snow-hair, but a kind of pale of life.

Zheping noticed that someone was approaching, and when he looked up and saw that the people who were coming were Ying and Paimon, he said with some difficulty, "Ah, it's you." Are you here? ”

"Wait a minute, I'll stand up first... It's strange, I always feel that my body doesn't have much strength..."

"Teppei." Paimon looked at the old Teppei and shouted a little unbearably.

"Huh?" Hearing Paimon's voice, Teppei didn't get up again, but looked up at Ying and Paimon and said with a smile in an old voice, "Oh, I haven't had time to talk to you about it yet." Recently, I have made several contributions. ”

"Fighting the shogunate army by boat, fighting off the shogunate samurai alone, and rescuing besieged companions, I never dreamed of it before."

"If only I could be a little stronger. A little stronger, you can do more... Strange, what about my secret weapon? ”

Ying asked, "When did you start using it?" ”

Teppei thought hard for a moment and replied, "When... Presumably shortly after you were named captain of the Swordfish Second Team, I met the mysterious man of the sponsor. ”

"Haha, it's like a vision, right? I haven't used the Vision before, and I don't know the difference..."

"It's . Evil Eye. Ying said softly.

After listening to Ying's words, Zheping thought a little sluggishly: "Evil eye? Doesn't sound like a good thing."

"Is there any difference with the Vision of God?"

"The Evil Eye will overdraw the lives of the user." Ying replied.

Teppei: "."

Zheping was silent for a while, then sighed, "Is that so... Indeed, it's normal for something like this to come from an unknown source to be risky. ”

"In the last few days, I have become more and more tired, and I have a vague bad feeling in my heart. I used to be a little more tired after fighting, but when I came back today, I suddenly realized that I couldn't see clearly. ”

"It's a pity, I thought I was going to catch up with you... Haha..."

Speaking of this, Teppei laughed bitterly.

"Sure enough, I'm not watching the gods."

Ying listened to Zheping's words, and was silent for a while: "When I saw you for the first time, I noticed that something was wrong, why do you still use it?" ”

Zheping replied: "This, I thought what you said was actually scaring me, how can there be anything that can overdraw my life, and I had a strong meritorious psychology at that time, so I didn't care about this." ”

"If you learn more martial arts, you can do things that many people can't do." Ying said that in addition to the gods, learning the martial arts taught by Ying can solve most enemies, just like Liyue's Millelith.

"The study of martial arts has taken too long, and the eye hunting order is imminent, and I don't have so much time to study seriously."

"Traveler, you are very strong, you are the only one I have seen, you can exert more force than those who have the Vision of God without the Vision of God, after I have the Evil Eye, I also went to find the Sea Ranch and the Wandering Samurai, I have a hard time dealing with them using the power of the Evil Eye."

"At that time, I realized how terrible your reputation was among these wandering samurai of the Sea Rebellion, even if I dealt with many wandering samurai, they still had the courage to draw their swords against me when they saw me."

Teppei sighed and said, "Traveler, are you really a mortal like this?" And along the way, I haven't seen you use elemental power. ”

Ying: "."

Although the feelings are not so deep, for the person who has been in contact with Inazuma for so long, Ying still feels a little unbearable when she sees him dying.

"Traveler, can I ask you one thing?"

Ying asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Teppei looked at Ying with an expectant look: "Aren't you really a god?" ”

Ying replied flatly, "No." ”

After Ying finished speaking, the expectant light in Zheping's eyes slowly disappeared, and he lowered his head and said with a stunned voice: "It would be good if you were a god, at least, I am also a person who has been watched by gods." ”

"One last thing, traveler, please." After Zheping sighed, he said to Ying.

"What's the matter, you can tell me." Ying replied.

Zheping's breath became obviously weak at this time, and he said a little intermittently: "When our team uniforms are ready, you can help me and get my share back... Let's change together...."

Ying: "."

Paimon: "."

"What a look on your face, man. Don't worry, let me rest for a while... Take a break for a while, maybe you'll be fine..."Teppei said, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and finally he slowly closed his eyes and drooped his head.

Paimon shouted a little unbearably, "Teppei."

"Ying, can you help him? I know you can. Paimon turned to Ying expectantly.

Ying's eyes were indifferent, and he looked at Zheping and said indifferently: "This is an act that goes against common sense, I don't think it should be done." ”

"Ying! You are a man, not a god, don't be influenced by divinity! Looking at Ying, who was clearly wrong, Paimon shouted at Ying.

At the same time, Paimon uses a special power behind Ying's back to transmit to Ying's body.

Paimon knows that the Divine Attribute is a very powerful conceptual power, because it is really an out-of-world power, and it is not so much a Divine Attribute as a Divine Attribute, because this energy can give an ordinary person the hope of becoming a God as long as he works hard.

As long as it is power, there are drawbacks, and the same is true of the power of the holy attribute, although it is not harmful to the person, but it will make the person have divinity, which is a qualitative change in life, and it is also the disadvantage of the holy attribute.

Ying's strength has improved too quickly, like making a rocket, and at the same time, Ying's divinity surpasses her humanity, which makes Paimon feel sad, although Ying's usual disdain is still the same, but when it comes to some things, it is no longer an ordinary person's decision.

"Huh? What's wrong with me? Ying felt a coolness coming from her body, and suddenly came back to her senses and said.

"Ying, you have improved your strength too quickly, and you have been affected by divinity." Paimon hesitated for a moment but said.

"Is that so? I'll just say how weird it is. Ying scratched her head and said, "Thank you, Paimon." ”

Paimon was stunned by Ying's sudden thanks, then smiled at Ying and said, "Well, you're welcome, we're the best buddies!" ”

"This power is really strange, well, the tassel is right, as long as it is power, there are drawbacks, if you can't really grasp the power in your hands, you will be affected by power, I was affected by this power just now." Ying rubbed her chin and analyzed.

"You're right, this power is stronger than the elemental force, and it is also more domineering, it can even purify the breath of the abyss, but again, this power is not something that ordinary people can grasp."

"So, Ying, before you really master this power, I don't recommend that you ascend too quickly, or you will become a god." Paimon said earnestly to Ying.

"What's so bad about becoming a god, so many people want to become a god." Ying replied with a smile.
