Chapter 783: Ying doesn’t regret it, what do you regret?
After Kong and Dainsleib left, Shao Yun looked at the big tree of Vanessa in front of him, wondering what he was thinking...
After Kong left, the temperature dropped sharply and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Shao Yun looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and realized that his brother-in-law had begun to take revenge on Wendy in his own way.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from behind him. Shao Yun subconsciously turned around, and then he shouted to the guy who suddenly appeared behind him: "You devil, you are untrustworthy! How could you promise me!"
The man in the top hat put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I kept my promise. I didn't do anything to your wife or Paimon. It was that minty-mouthed boy who kidnapped your wife and daughter."
Shao Yun told it about this "curse" on himself.
"I saved three souls who shouldn't have been saved by me. So, I will lose the same thing at the same cost. Do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"
The man in the tall hat shook his head calmly, took out his explanation, and said, "I just told you what will happen in the future, but you didn't respond yourself..."
Shao Yun listened to its sophistry, knowing that it was useless, but he still pointed the gun at it and said, "You don't keep your word!"
The man in the tall hat stepped forward and put down the gun pointed at him. He said bluntly, "You just want someone to blame and vent your emotions. The reason you ended up like this is because you fell in love with a girl you shouldn't have."
"Perhaps, if you kill the next person you see, you will feel relieved."
Shao Yun directly answered it with the quintessence of Chinese culture.
"Go to hell."
The tall hat man didn't answer anything, but disappeared in the blink of an eye...
……
Just when Shao Yun put down his gun and watched the snowflakes falling, Ke Li suddenly appeared in front of him for some unknown reason.
Keli looked at the strange man in front of her timidly and said, "Brother Shao Yun..."
Shao Yun was shocked when he saw Keli suddenly appear. How did Keli appear? Was he dreaming?
"Kelly...why are you here?"
Ke Li grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked, "Brother Shao Yun, why do you want to bully Sister Barbara?"
Shao Yun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I……"
At this time, the devil's whisper came to Shao Yun's ears.
"Kill the little girl in front of you, and you will be free..."
How can this be called liberation? Isn't it just letting yourself give up human emotions? Then you are no longer a human being...
Shao Yun shook his head and shouted in confusion: "No. Don't try to seduce me. I know what you mean!"
After dispelling the devil's whispers in his ears, Shao Yun took a deep breath, squatted down, and explained to Keli: "I have no choice. Barbatos kidnapped my wife and my daughter. I have no way to deal with it!"
Ke Li shook her head, not believing Shao Yun's words, and said, "Brother Shao Yun, you are lying! Lord Fengshen would never do such a thing..."
Then, Keli couldn't stop her tears from flowing down and she cried out sadly: "Brother Shao Yun is a bad guy! Ugh!"
After saying this, Klee turned around and ran away, her figure looking particularly lonely in the wind.
Shao Yun stood there, watching Ke Li's receding back. He felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and frustration.
The cold wind was as biting as a knife, but he seemed to feel nothing. He just stood there quietly, and finally let out a long roar to the sky, venting all the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
"what!!!"
……
Inside a train station.
Sitting on a bench was an old nun in nun's uniform. Next to her sat a man wearing a black gambler's hat, dozing with his head down.
The nun patted his shoulder gently and asked softly, "Mr. Morgan? Mr. Morgan?"
Arthur slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything around him in confusion.
"Ah? What happened?"
The nun watched Arthur gradually wake up, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with concern: "Mr. Morgan, are you okay?"
Arthur's eyes fell on the nun, his expression still confused, revealing fatigue in his calmness.
He looked at the nun in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Nun?"
The nun looked at Arthur's calm but slightly tired face and continued to ask, "You woke up, what happened? I see you look very tired, did you encounter any difficulties?"
Arthur glanced around again, and the strange yet familiar scenes made him feel dazed.
He shook his head, trying to get rid of this confused state.
"I don't know, I...I seem to have had a dream, or should I say, am I still dreaming now?"
When the nun heard that Arthur was dreaming, she clapped her hands gently and congratulated him, "Dream? Maybe God is guiding you."
When Arthur heard that God was guiding him, he laughed at himself and said, "I'm not sure if it was a miracle or a disaster..."
The nun held Arthur's hand and asked him about his dream.
"What did you dream about?"
Arthur shook his head, not wanting to talk about it.
"No, Sister, it was not a good dream."
The nun comforted him: "Dreams are God's guidance to you. There is no good or bad in dreams. Don't be afraid of them."
Hearing the nun's comfort, Arthur touched his chin and began to tell his "dream", saying: "I hurt everyone I know, and my closest people are in danger because of me."
"I shot and wounded a girl who came to my aid when I was in the most dangerous time."
"I trampled a girl's faith on the ground with my own hands; I disappointed a girl who admired me, and I made everything twisted and destroyed."
After listening to Arthur's "dream", the nun nodded slightly and began to talk about the philosophy of life.
"Everyone makes mistakes, Mr. Morgan, we are all guilty."
Then the nun patted him on the shoulder and said, "But I understand that you just feel confused now."
When Arthur heard the word "confused", he smiled miserably.
"Maybe, Sister. I was wondering if I, the me in the dream, had fallen in love with the wrong person. She might have been better off without me. Everything would have been fine..."
The nun shook her head and said firmly: "Mr. Morgan, don't be confused. Believe that love exists."
Arthur looked at the nun who was counseling him, and said, not knowing what to think: "But what should I do? I have lost my family and friends, and a train is coming towards me..."
The nun blessed her with words full of wisdom: "Your future will be full of challenges, love and hate, depravity and redemption, but you will make the most appropriate choice. I believe in you."
As a train whistle sounded, the nun picked up her luggage and said goodbye to Arthur.
"Goodbye, Mr. Morgan."
When the nun stood on the steps of the train, she turned around and waved to "Arthur Morgan" and said, "I will pray for you... Mr. Shao Yun... Now, wake up!"
……
After Shao Yun opened his eyes, he found that he was riding on the Hungarian mixed-breed horse "Boadicea" without knowing when.
At this moment, he was wearing a winter sharpshooter coat, looking at the snow-covered environment around him in confusion.
Shao Yun was confused. Was he in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain? What on earth was going on in this heavy snow?
"What happened? Where am I?"
An explanation popped up.
[Current location, the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue, the Stone Gate area. ]
Shao Yun's mind was confused. He was clearly in front of the big tree where the wind was rising just now, so how did he get to the stone gate now?
"What is our mission now?"
Seeing that Shao Yun had even forgotten this, the system reminded him:
[You promised Wendy to help him save Nata in exchange for your wife and daughter.]
Seeing that his wife and children being kidnapped was not a dream, Shao Yun was so distraught that he smiled without knowing what he was feeling.
"Did I fall in love with the wrong person? If I hadn't fallen in love with Ying, would I feel more relaxed now..."
The system looked at Shao Yun, who was somewhat mentally broken, and advised:
[Don't think too much, you are just too tired. ]
Shao Yun said with some regret: "Should I regret it... maybe..."
The system interrupted Shao Yun's thoughts and popped up a dialog box.
[Don't give up on yourself. Ying doesn't regret it, so what are you regretting? God will bless you! ]
Shao Yun saw that the system said that God would bless him. How could a person like him who deserved to go to hell deserve to be blessed?
"Does a guy like me deserve God's protection?" Shao Yun said somewhat self-destructively.
The system said something very philosophical.
【You are just a lost soul, wandering in a world that does not belong to you, but God will bless you. 】
Shao Yun shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "I don't believe this."
The system consoled:
【Just think of it as psychological comfort. 】
Shao Yun looked at the system that was trying its best to comfort him, and thanked it sincerely: "I'm sorry, I always complain about everything you do."
"But now, I want to say thank you for being with me when I was most desperate."
The system heard Shao Yun express his gratitude to it and comforted him:
[Stop talking about this, you are just under too much pressure. ]
Shao Yun looked in the direction of Liyue, pursed his lips, and asked: "Do you think Wendy will keep his promise?"
The system comforted:
[Don’t think about it, we have no choice…]
……
Shao Yun rode Boadicea through the stone gate and headed towards Liyue. Mondstadt behind him was now covered in snow.
The snow fell heavily and continuously.
In this land ruled by ice and snow, all life has fallen into a deep hibernation.
The hunters in Qingquan Town looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky and felt the sudden drop in temperature, feeling at a loss.
Diona looked at the snowflakes in the sky and her ears drooped.
The wolves of the Benlang Territory howled to the sky. The King Wolf of the North Wind (the remaining soul) looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky and recalled what happened thousands of years ago.
Diluk looked at the grape vines covered with snow and immediately went out to Mondstadt to find out what had happened.
Perhaps Shao Yun did not destroy Mondstadt himself, but the Abyss Cult led by Kong took his revenge.
You kidnapped your own sister and your own niece. I will make Mond, the person you are protecting, live a life worse than death!
