Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

Lin Jiu'an stood up and walked to Thomas, who was kneeling on the ground due to his abdominal wound, and Kanoin Heizo, who was lying on the ground due to anesthesia. Looking at Thomas, who was in pain, and Kanoin Heizo, who could only move his eyes, he squatted down.

"However, I don't think other people would like this story."

"So I came up with another one."

"Toma, the housekeeper of the Kamisato family, harbored wicked intentions. He poisoned the head of the Kamisato family and attempted to take advantage of the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family. After Ayato Kamisato's funeral, he got engaged to Ayaka Kamisato and took her place."

"When the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family discovered the truth, it was too late. Everyone around her had been replaced by Thomas's people, and as the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, she could only live in a cage."

"Fortunately, our great detective, Mr. Kanoin Heizo, discovered the clue."

"With the help of 'Final Chapter' and some loyal servants of the Kamisato family who risked their lives, he successfully infiltrated the Kamisato family and discovered the truth."

"But just as he was preparing to rescue Ayaka Kamisato and take the evidence to expose Thomas's true colors."

"An accident has occurred."

“He was discovered by Thomas and fed the poison that Thomas had given to Ayato Kamisato in an attempt to kill him and silence him.”

"To uphold 'justice,' he stabbed Thomas in the heart with his sword just before he succumbed to the poison, sacrificing himself to save Ayaka Kamisato."

What do you think of my "truth"?

Kanoin Heizo's eyes moved rapidly.

Especially after seeing the small porcelain bottle containing poison in Lin Jiu'an's hand.

An undisguised look of fear appeared in the detective's eyes.

he knows.

I'm afraid I'm really going to die here this time.

He thought he wouldn't be afraid of death on his path to pursuing the "truth".

But when death came upon him, he realized that his previous boldness was not because he was not afraid of death, but simply because he never thought he would die.

With the support of the Heavenly Leader, they have the backing of the Emperor.

With his "eye of God," his strength is far beyond that of ordinary criminals.

These two things ensured that he would not be in danger in any case in Inazuma. All he had to do was search for evidence from a high position, discover the truth step by step, and then easily subdue the criminals who were in a helpless rage and wanted to take action, or cry and bow their heads to confess their crimes, etc., which were nothing but dying struggles.

After gaining fame, he was busy with countless cases every day.

The case concerning the Three Orders and the Fools.

The Heavenly Commander wouldn't assign him any tasks, and he consciously avoided getting involved in dangerous cases.

Unless they specifically ask him to go.

But this time.

He was blinded by the unprecedented case of the "sudden death of the head of the Kamisato family," and with Kujo Takayuki's secret instructions, he reached out to a place he shouldn't have touched.

As the poison was opened and drew closer, a visible pleading look appeared in Kanoin Heizo's eyes.

Whether it's worrying that no one will ever discover the truth after they die.

Or is it merely a fear of one's own death?

He struggled to move his body, which was paralyzed by the anesthetic, but could only desperately watch as Lin Jiu'an poured the liquid from the porcelain bottle into his mouth, letting it slide down his throat.

Regardless of the tears already streaming down his face, Kanoin Heizo was left alone.

Lin Jiu'an casually tossed the porcelain bottle aside and turned to look at Thomas with a smile.

What do you think of my story?

Seeing Lin Jiu'an's smiling face, Thomas could no longer hold back.

The idea that he couldn't win or that he would find another opportunity was no longer important. Thomas was like a beast that had lost its mind, with raging flames engulfing him and demonic pupils appearing in his eyes. He roared and attacked Lin Jiu'an.

In return, he received a simple punch.

'Bang!'

A punch landed squarely on Thomas's face.

The fierce, hateful strike was utterly useless in the face of absolute power. Thomas fell to the ground, his nose collapsed, his face covered in blood, barely alive, only his blood-red eyes still fixed on Lin Jiu'an.

He can accept his own death.

But he couldn't accept that he had become a disloyal and unjust person who killed Ayato Kamisato and wanted to possess Ayaka Kamisato.

What terrified him most was...

With Ayaka Kamisato's good reputation and Yae no Miko's guarantee.

and.

The general public is obviously more willing to believe stories that are more newsworthy.

Instead of the simplistic and boring "truth" that "Ayaka Kamisato poisoned Ayato Kamisato, and then killed Toma and Heizo Kanoin."

Does the truth matter?

That's too far away for them.

Who cares about the truth behind the sudden tragedy that befell the high and mighty social adherents?

The common people only wanted to believe the "stories" compiled by Lin Jiu'an during their leisure time, which would give them plenty of topics to talk about.

And he.

Thomas.

They will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame.

From that time on, he became a sinner in the house of God.

He became a 'villain' who disregarded the kindness of saving his life and poisoned Ayato Kamisato, intending to seize Ayato Kamisato and usurp the Kamisato family's power. This continued for decades and centuries until Lin Jiu'an and the Kamisato family, as the victors, were overthrown.

If looks could kill, he would have killed Lin Jiu'an countless times.

"so good."

Lin Jiu'an admired Thomas's appearance, which resembled that of a demon who had just crawled out of hell.

"let's start."

Yae no Miko couldn’t wait to insert “Dream Heart” into Thomas’s body.

A continuous flow of life force flowed from the tip of the sword into the body of the sword.

Feeling the soul of Baal within the sword, which had clearly grown slightly stronger, a hint of joy flashed in Yae no Miko's eyes. She didn't care that Thomas had been forcibly drained into a dried-up corpse.

"Owner."

Yae no Miko looked at Lin Jiu'an with great interest.

Although she had completely succumbed to this powerful man who was somewhat beyond her expectations when she saw "Dream One Heart" in his hands.

Later, after sensing Baal's soul within the sword, she roughly believed that Lin Jiu'an had the ability to resurrect Baal.

But no matter how much you believe in it, nothing has been proven effective in practice.

Although Baal's soul is still weak and he will probably need to absorb a lot more life, it is still better than having no hope at all.

before this.

She never dared to hope that she would ever see Lord Baal and Lord Fox Palace again.

But Lin Jiu'an gave her hope.

Even if this hope might result in the deaths of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions, of innocent people, what does that have to do with her? If it weren't for their protection, these ordinary people would have died long ago. This is what they should do.

Upon seeing Lin Jiu'an, he merely smiled and made no mention of the Fox Palace. The Eightfold Divine Child could only suppress his eagerness.

Just then, the poison in Kanoin Heizo's body took effect, and he let out a painful cry.

Yae no Miko then remembered that there was someone else, and her gaze immediately became fervent again.

These individuals, who possess the "Eye of God" and are among the most powerful, possess a vitality far exceeding that of dozens or hundreds of ordinary people.

"Owner?"

Yae no Miko looked at Shinoin Heizo with such eagerness, her gaze as if she were a child looking at dumplings being made on a cutting board during the New Year.

Lin Jiu'an said with amusement, "But I did say I was going to poison him."

"What does it matter? We won't show the body to outsiders anyway."

Yae no Miko said sweetly, "It's a waste to let his life force go to waste. We might as well make good use of it so that Lord Baal and Lord Kitsuri-no-miya can be resurrected sooner. They can serve their master together with Lord Kitsuri-no-miya."

"Ok."

Lin Jiu'an sighed with compassion.

immediately.

As if afraid that Lin Jiu'an would change his mind, Yae no Miko impatiently plunged his sword into Kanoin Heizo's heart before Lin Jiu'an could finish speaking.

With a 'plop' sound.

The lingering attachment to life in Kanoin Heizo's eyes vanished completely.

The intense pain and loss of life brought tears of blood to his eyes, and his expression became somewhat distorted.

However, no one paid attention to this scene.

Feeling the life force surging into the sword again, making Baal's soul even stronger, Yae no Miko's eyes showed a genuine smile of joy. Then, she heard something, her fox ears twitched, and she raised her head.

Then he saw that Ayaka Kamisato had somehow appeared behind Lin Jiu'an, and was hugging him with both arms, nestled against his back.

See this scene.

Yae no Miko thought of the Fox Prince who had raised her.

Do you like Lin Jiu'an?

Her long life allowed her to witness countless partings and deaths.

It also made her realize that there is no such thing as everlasting love in this world, only complicated interests and worldly affairs. So-called "love" and "friendship" are just "interests" in different names.

Don't say it's "love".

Even "friendship" felt quite distant to her.

Those who can be considered friends by her.

Only Balzebub, who is still alive, and Gan Yu, who is far away in Liyue, remain.

Characters like Ayato Kamisato, Ayaka Kamisato, Kokoro Sango, Shinobu Kugi, and Sara Kujo.

It was merely a small segment of her long life, adding a touch of 'color' to her otherwise dull existence.

This is also why she gave up in her previous life.

In the eyes of the Eightfold Divine Child, Lin Jiu'an was no different from those humans and demons who had only appeared briefly in Inazuma over the past few hundred or thousand years; at most, he was just a rather dazzling firework.

If she helped with everything, she would have been exhausted to death, if not killed by some powerful figure, over the past few hundred years.

"Brilliance" is an illusion, "eternity" is the reality.

to be honest.

Even now, when Ayaka Kamisato looks at Lin Jiu'an with such deep affection, dependence, and "love,"...

In Yae no Kamiko's view, it was nothing more than a byproduct of Lin Jiu'an's domineering, mad, and powerful nature.

Just like how she now obeys Lin Jiu'an's every word.

If Lin Jiu'an loses power one day, then this "love" will eventually fade.

But as he grows stronger, that "love" will only grow stronger, even if he doesn't treat them as human beings.

The world is so realistic.

Yae no Miko simply watched as Ayaka Kamisato fawned over Lin Jiu'an.

This suddenly reminded her of Lord Fox Palace, and then she suddenly realized how she could get Lin Jiu'an to release the idea of ​​reviving Lord Fox Palace at the same time as reviving Baal.

Thinking it over, Yae no Miko sheathed his sword, walked up to Lin Jiu'an, and hugged him.

"Owner."

Yae no Miko's beautiful face was full of a flattering smile, and her fluffy tail swayed behind her.
