Chapter 850: Reverse Pentagram and the Winged Angel
Just then, Sitali came hurriedly, out of breath.
As soon as she saw Mavica and Shao Yun, she couldn't wait to say, "I'm not late, am I? It's really the damn abyss that invaded the Lord of Smoke and made me late..."
Mavica smiled and shook her head, comforting her: "Don't worry, grandma, you are not late. Did you bring the things that Ye Shen gave you?"
Xitrali nodded quickly and said with a sense of relief: "I brought it, I brought it!"
As she spoke, she quickly took out something wrapped tightly in cloth from her arms.
"This is the 'Holy Night Travelling Textile' that the Night God gave me," Xitlal carefully unwrapped the cloth bag and showed the items inside to Shao Yun.
"Well, Mr. Shao Yun, I'll leave this to you."
Shao Yun took a closer look and saw that what Xitlalli was holding in her hand was actually a "tapestry" the size of a handkerchief.
Its texture looks very delicate, but its style is not much different from ordinary tapestries.
Shao Yun couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What is this? A tapestry? But isn't it too small to be used as a decoration?"
Seeing this, Xitela slapped her forehead helplessly and explained with a smile: "Oh, no, Mr. Shao Yun."
"This is not just any ordinary fabric, it is the foundation of 'Gu Ming'!"
"Night God said that this is the memory of you that she extracted from the Kingdom of Night God," Xitlal continued, "I have studied it over the past few days, and it seems that I need to hold it in your hand to activate it."
Shao Yun carefully looked at the "tapestry" the size of a handkerchief.
"Well, this thing looks pretty exquisite... But it shouldn't require a drop of blood to recognize the owner like in Fontaine Yingying or the Liyue martial arts novels, right?"
As he said this, he took the "Holy Night Journey" from Sitrali's hand.
Just as Shao Yun held the "Holy Night Traveling Fabric" in his palm, something magical happened.
Some patterns actually began to slowly emerge on the originally blank "Holy Night Fabric"!
Seeing this scene, Xitlari, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"It's activated, and a pattern has appeared on it! But...how come this pattern is divided into two areas with the central axis as the boundary?"
Shao Yun looked carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
On the left side of "Holy Night Journey" is an inverted pentagram pattern, and on the right side is an angel with broken wings.
The two patterns are on the left and on the right, clearly distinguished, like a scale of good and evil.
However, the "Holy Night Journey" seems to depict an imbalance between good and evil...
Reverse Pentagram: A symbol of evil. The angel with broken wings obviously couldn't defeat the opponent...
At this moment, more patterns began to be activated in the area of the inverted pentagram and gradually became clearly visible.
These patterns all look a bit weird and make people feel uncomfortable.
Xitlari stared at the patterns nervously, swallowed her saliva involuntarily, and said, "Oh my God, why are there so many ominous patterns on the Holy Night Weaving?"
Shao Yun looked at the two major patterns on the "Holy Night Travel Weaving" and suddenly had a desire to disobey and not create the ancient name.
Is this created ancient name sure to be a good word?
"On the left is an inverted pentagram, and on the right is an angel with broken wings. Good and evil are out of balance. It seems that most of the things recorded here are bad things..."
Then, Shao Yun looked at the new pattern that emerged under the inverted pentagram pattern and said, "Let me take a look at the left side first... I feel like I should be able to interpret these images."
The first thing that catches your eye is a broken statue of the god of wind. The fragments of the statue are scattered all over the ground, silently telling of the violence and blasphemy it has suffered.
Shao Yun looked at the broken statue pattern and began to interpret the meaning of the pattern.
"You have committed blasphemous acts and trampled the faith of the most devout believers to pieces. You are so crazy..."
Then, Shao Yun's gaze shifted to a pattern of a girl wearing a cloak.
The girl's figure appears lonely and desolate, depicting a person who has left her homeland.
Shao Yun looked at the pattern, interpreted the message on it, and said: "Your hands are stained with the blood of an innocent person, and you have destroyed the spirit of a young girl and caused her to leave her homeland."
Then, Shao Yun looked at the next pattern, which was a pattern of round silver coins pouring out of a purse.
The silver coin flickered faintly in the sunlight, suggesting the existence of a "transaction".
Shao Yun interpreted the meaning of this pattern.
"You sold your 'conscience' for thirty Moras. These thirty Moras will be transformed into 'silver coins' and will accompany you forever until your death."
Finally, Shao Yun's sight fell on a pattern of a woman sitting on a chair.
The woman was like a queen high above, accepting people's kneeling worship.
But behind the woman, there was a man with a dagger on her neck, turning the queen sitting on the chair into a puppet...
"She fell into depravity because of lust, and you tortured her and turned her into your 'slave'. No matter what the reason, this is an unchangeable fact!"
His eyes moved to the next pattern, which was an icon of a knife and a sword intertwined.
"You intensified the war and personally started the process of destroying everything."
Then, Shao Yun's eyes fell on the burning rainforest pattern and began to interpret its contents.
"You despised life and indirectly sacrificed a quarter of your life just to fulfill that seemingly insignificant 'wish'..."
"However, in the end, you gained nothing, and only felt the momentary pleasure brought by killing."
After Shao Yun finished interpreting the pattern on the left, he was silent for a moment, and then concluded:
"In summary, the events recorded by the patterns that appear under the inverted pentagram are nothing more than burning, killing and looting."
"Of course, except for adultery, I have done almost every bad thing you can think of."
After listening to Shao Yun's interpretation of these images, Xitrali couldn't help but feel ashamed.
She looked at Shao Yun, smiled bitterly and said, "You... are really extraordinary."
Mavica didn't know what to say, so she just stammered, "This, this..."
As for Capitano, he didn't show much emotional reaction.
After all, his second colleague, "Doctor", is a genius madman who has transformed human bombs and conducted human experiments without any bottom line...
It's not surprising...
Shao Yun looked at Mavica, who was hesitant to speak and couldn't think of any words to describe herself. She looked like she was racking her brains, so he said, "If you can't think of an adjective, don't describe it."
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun’s gaze fell on the right side of the “Holy Night Journey”, which was the area of the broken-winged angel.
"Let me take a look at the broken-winged angel on the right." Shao Yun said softly.
The first thing Shao Yun saw was a simple sketch of Ying, or traces of a facial sketch?
Regardless, his heartbeat quickened slightly when his eyes touched Ying's outline.
Shao Yun began to interpret the meaning of this pattern.
"Perhaps, you fell in love with a girl you shouldn't have loved." Shao Yun whispered. "But even if you can't find any reason, even if the truth becomes a lie, you will persist."
"Because loyalty is both your salvation and your curse."
When Shao Yun read the last sentence, his heart was suddenly touched... and he thought of something.
Shao Yun calmed himself down, shifted his gaze away from Ying's outline, and looked at the next icon.
This icon is the silhouette of a woman, holding two children, a boy and a girl, in her hands. The picture looks very warm.
"You chose to kill Jianqiu and Huachu in the most cruel way." Shao Yun explained.
"You made some changes, allowing those two children to receive the warmth of their mother. That story that no longer exists will be forever embedded in your mind, reminding you... that only children should not be harmed."
After Shao Yun finished his interpretation, he said with a fake smile: "Is this a good thing? Maybe..."
Finally, Shao Yun's eyes fell on a pattern of a baby in a cradle.
His fingers gently traced the pattern.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but this pattern makes Shao Yun feel the baby’s breathing and heartbeat.
Shao Yun's pupils trembled slightly. He looked at the pattern and interpreted the meaning contained in it.
This paragraph is the shortest, but also the most crucial one.
"'He' has given you the most precious gift, cherish it..."
After interpreting the meaning of this pattern, Shao Yun didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment.
Forget it, since I can't express it, then I won't express it...
At this moment, Sitrali's voice sounded again.
"I remember that Ye Shen also said that she wrote her blessings for you on it."
Shao Yun came back to his senses and began to search carefully on the Holy Night Travel.
After some searching, he finally found a line of small words at the top.
The words were written very neatly. Although they were not the common language of Teyvat, Shao Yun could understand them for some reason.
Shao Yun took a deep breath and tried to interpret it.
"I will give you my blessing, Mr. Arthur Morgan or Mr. John Marston."
"Perhaps you will never know who you really are in your entire life, but I will always be grateful to you for saving Nata."
"As for the future, let time decide your fate."
"Whether as a warrior, a killer, or a madman, you will face your fate calmly and keep fighting!"
"I once wanted to persuade you to consider the overall situation... But that is impossible. You will continue to fight in your own way until the end of your life."
……
After Shao Yun finished interpreting the story on the Holy Night Journey, out of his sixth sense, he wanted to persuade Mavica not to create an ancient name for herself.
Sometimes, stopping loss in time is the best option.
He looked at Mavica and said solemnly, "I think you should stop creating an ancient name for me. I don't think it will be a good one if you create one."
Although Mavica felt a little embarrassed about the content presented in the Holy Night Tour, Nata has now reached a critical moment and the arrow has been put on the string and must be shot. Don't back down...
No matter what kind of hero you are, a warrior, a killer or a madman, anyone who can save Nata will be welcome.
After all, the abyss is not a human, and any conflicts are minor problems at this moment!
"No, this is an order! I still need you to help me destroy the Abyss!"
Shao Yun sighed helplessly, seeing that Mavica was determined and could not be changed.
So he quietly put away the "Holy Night Travel Cloth" and then made a request.
"Okay, but I have one request. Don't publicize the matter of creating an ancient name for me."
"Anything written here would give Katsina nightmares at night."
Mavica understood Shao Yun's concerns. After all, these stories were indeed somewhat scary.
It is indeed inappropriate to publicize it with great fanfare.
I will find other ways to compensate Shao Yun for his help later. For example, I can find the best place in Nata for Shao Yun and his family to settle down first...
"Ok, no problem."
