[Rotaka Dragon King: "@Ella, turn your grief and anger into motivation, and strive to grow stronger!!!"]

[Ella: "I will! [Angry] [Gritting teeth] [Angry]"]

[Su Hao: "@Ella, don't worry, I'll be fine."]

Ella: "[On the verge of tears] Young Master, I know you'll be alright, but what am I afraid of her for?"

[Su Hao: "Would I give her food? Don't worry, I have my own plans. Besides, now that we've run into her, we should take care of some things."]

[Su Hao: "@Wendy, where are you guys?"]

Wendy: "We're on our way. We should meet in about ten minutes. We encountered some trouble on the way, but thankfully an elderly gentleman was with us and helped us out."

Wendy: "Wow~ Balzeb and the old man are really strong, unlike me, I can only sit on Tvalin and can't do anything."

[Raiden Shin: "Let's get down to business, Barbatos."]

[Zhongli: "Let's get down to business, Barbatos." x1]

[The Great Tree King: "Let's get down to business, Barbatos." x2]

Wendy: "Let's get down to business, Barbatos." x3

[Rota Naga King: "Let's get down to business, Barbatos." x4]

[Yae no Miko: "Why is the Wind God complaining about himself getting up?"]

Wendy: "Hehe!!!"

Looking at the comments in the group live stream, Su Hao also showed a helpless smile. Ella was overthinking it.

Black Ella seems pretty normal. Look, isn't she talking to me normally right now?

She didn't do anything abnormal.

Furthermore, Su Hao could clearly sense that Black Ella had a wealth of combat and wilderness survival experience, far surpassing his own and Ella's.

For example, right now, she quickly found a safe and secluded area where she could rest for a while.

Black Ella even lit a campfire, warming the surroundings.

"The situation here in the Abyss is strange. If you are waiting for the gods to arrive, young master, you will have to wait a while longer."

Black Ella appeared remarkably calm. She had no intention of attacking or framing Su Hao. Instead, she patiently explained, "Because the concepts of time and space are slightly different here."

“Young master, you said you obtained information about me from the lady, saying that I entered the abyss. In fact, as far as I remember, I have been away for almost a month to avoid being hunted down by the Fools.”

"The abyss has twelve levels. We are in the eleventh level of the abyss, which is the closest area to the twelfth level."

"Only here can I escape the pursuit of the Fools' Enforcers. The Fools will not let a traitor go easily."

"And I don't want to take the Fatui Enforcers to Liyue and put myself in danger."

To be honest, the reason Black Ella was hiding in the Abyss and avoiding the Fools' Enforcers was, in a sense, to protect Ella's safety.

Just because she has the ability to go toe-to-toe with the Fools' Enforcers doesn't mean Ella can.

Last time in the mental space, Black Ella sparred with Ella. After all, it was "herself". She had extremely high potential, but her growth time was too short.

Or perhaps, she spent most of her energy on Su Hao, which is why her strength was only so-so.

Even Ella's strength within the mental space is only enough to qualify her as a subordinate of an executive within the Fatui. She still has a long way to go before she can become an executive of the Fatui.

As for Black Ella now, her strength has already reached the level of an Enforcer of the Fatui, but she has not made enough contributions to become an Enforcer.

Therefore, Winter sent her to garrison the Abyss and exterminate the Abyss monsters and the Abyss Cult.

Then something unexpected happened: she betrayed the Fools and defected to Winter, if it weren't for Ella suddenly contacting her.

A disheartened Black Ella might choose to perish together with one of the Fools' Enforcers.

“Actually,” Su Hao looked at Hei Ella and explained, “Ella is now a disciple of the immortals. If you go there, you’ll probably face a lot of obstacles from the immortals.”

"At that time, the enemy you will face will probably not be just Ella."

This is the truth. Although Su Hao is not quite sure why Lei Yingdian, Zhong Li, and even the Great Compassion Tree King, Lei Dianzhen, and Wendy in the group have said this.

This battle was beyond the control of even the gods.

But the fairies certainly wouldn't let Black Ella get close to Ella easily.

How she will fight Ella, or rather... how she will bypass the immortals and engage in a 1v1 battle with Ella, is rather delicate.

Of course, this was also something Su Hao wanted to find out.

"Didn't she tell you?"

Black Ella tilted her head and looked at Su Hao, seemingly surprised, as if she hadn't expected her young master to be unaware of this.

"Huh?" Su Hao was stunned. What?

"Hmm..." Seeing Su Hao's expression, Black Ella smiled slightly and said, "I should say, as expected of [me]?"

"It seems she's prepared to lose."

Su Hao was even more confused now. What was Black Ella saying? He couldn't understand a word she was saying.

“How should I explain this to you, young master?” Black Ella looked at Su Hao’s bewildered expression. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “Young master, you should know that I am Ella, right?”

Su Hao nodded. Whether it was Ella, who had been with him for years, or the woman in front of him, both of them were indeed Ella.

"Because we are all Ella, as long as the distance between us gets closer to a certain extent, our incomplete [souls] will choose to complement each other."

Black Ella sat on a rock, looking at the campfire in front of her, and said calmly and indifferently, "When the time comes, even if we don't want to, we will choose to fight."

"Two consciousnesses cannot coexist in one body, especially since... we are both [Ella]."

"It is precisely because we are all [Ella] that no matter whose consciousness is lost, we will take over everything about her."

"Furthermore, I have calculated that when I step into the land of Liyue, even without getting close to the area where the immortals reside, I can initiate a battle between our consciousnesses."

"Because that is also my spiritual realm."

When Hei Aila said these words, Su Hao was completely stunned. He finally understood why Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said that these formations were set up to prevent villains from sneaking around.

Instead of preventing Black Ella, because prevention is useless, since they are one entity.

Furthermore, Black Ella has also stated that incomplete [souls] will complement each other, although Black Ella and Ella appear normal at the moment.

But Su Hao didn't understand things about the soul either; he had no idea how to talk about them.

Those who understand this area, including the Great Compassion Tree King, Raiden Shin, Raiden Film, Zhongli, and Wendy, all say it's extremely difficult.

They also said they couldn't interfere with the final outcome; at most, they could only preserve Ella's consciousness.

If Ella wants to win this battle of consciousness, she must become powerful enough.

At the very least, she's stronger than Black Ella.

"Are you worried about me?" Black Ella asked, raising her head slightly and looking at Su Hao with her blood-red eyes.

"Hmm." Su Hao nodded and said frankly, "After all, she is my maid, so naturally I'm worried about her and afraid she'll lose to you."

"~"

Black Ella gave a smile that was hard to tell whether it was happy or bitter, and she sighed softly, "Actually, I envy her."

"Although we are both Ella, she... is so much better than me. I thought that half of my body had already died in the Inazuma Sea."

"Because I saw with my own eyes the doctor order his men to throw me, who was like a corpse, overboard."

"Unexpectedly, she didn't die. She drifted to Inazuma, met you, young master, and then experienced so many interesting things before finally returning to Liyue."

"But I... have been undergoing experiments in the laboratory, all my memories have been sealed, and I have been forced to wear a ridiculous mask to fight for the so-called empress."

At this point, Hei Ai clenched her fists, and her aura became somewhat unstable.

Clearly, the memories of winter were something she didn't want to recall, because they were extremely unpleasant.

Looking at Black Ella like this, Su Hao felt a pang of pain in his heart for some reason.

After all, she was also [Ella], her own little maid.

At the same time, Su Hao became even angrier at the doctor. This guy! He absolutely cannot be forgiven!!!

Doctor!!! I'd kill you a thousand times!!! and that still wouldn't be enough!!!

Dotole! You deserve to die!!!

Just as Su Hao was pondering how to kill the other PhDs' slices.

“And, young master,” Black Ella looked at Su Hao and said in a very serious tone, “the reason why I am so eager to merge with [me] is actually because of you.”

"what?"

Su Hao tilted his head, somewhat unable to understand.

Because all told, this was only the second time he had met Black Ella; the first time was during a battle.

Although the other party was very respectful to me the first time.

But seeing only a portion of the memories shouldn't be like this, right?

"You do not understand."

Seeing Su Hao like this, Hei Aila shook her head slightly, then stood up from the rock, came to Su Hao, reached out and grabbed his hand.

Then, to the astonishment of everyone watching the live stream.

Black Ella placed Su Hao's hand on her chest, which was almost completely still, like a walnut.

"Eh?"

Su Hao was dumbfounded by this scene. Now he finally understood why Ella was so frantic, saying that she would definitely do that kind of thing. So that's what Ella meant!

But I didn't feel much of anything. It was so peaceful that I couldn't feel anything at all.

“My heart has always been empty.” Black Ella said quite seriously, placing Su Hao’s hand on her chest. She said earnestly, “Because my emotions have been suppressed for many years.”

"Before communicating with [me] and exchanging memories, my heart was always empty."

"No matter what others say to me or how many examples they give, my heart is always empty; it can't hold any emotion."

"Until I obtained that memory, the little things about my daily life with you in Inazuma, my heart regained its vitality, and the emptiness seemed to be filled."
