I am in Genshin Impact, I can use the stick warrior talent

"Yes, I sensed a powerful fluctuation of power. If activated, it could cause great damage."

Ganyu was explaining when suddenly, a strong earthquake tremor interrupted her words.

Chapter 246: The Fools Who Repay Kindness with Evil

"hope so……"

Su Chen sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly:

"Ganyu, I'm really grateful that you've been by my side for the past three days. Without you, I would have collapsed a long time ago."

He pondered the connections between human beings and what it means to be human.

With a human heart, there is a natural desire to communicate with others.

What would happen if a person stayed isolated on a rock wall for a long time?

Will he lose his sight due to darkness like the Rock King, or will he go crazy and turn into a monster? None of this matters anymore.

Su Chen had only one thought in his mind: if something like that really happened, he would never be able to see Gan Yu's face again.

This thought made his expression particularly serious and sincere.

"Don't worry, I will always be by your side to help you."

Ganyu's voice was soft. She smiled and placed her hand on her heart, as if her warmth could penetrate her skin and warm Su Chen's heart.

"Ganyu, when we leave here, I promise..." Su Chen didn't finish his words. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. His voice stopped abruptly. A trace of hesitation and worry flashed in his eyes. He shook his head and avoided the topic: "Forget it... Let's talk about this topic later."

"I will wait patiently for you."

Ganyu responded softly.

"Thank you."

Su Chen took a deep breath. Although he had strong emotions in his heart, it seemed inappropriate to express his feelings in such a desperate situation.

"Ganyu, we need to seriously discuss the biggest problem we are facing right now."

He changed the subject and spoke seriously.

Ganyu replied, "Is it food? I estimate that we can only hold out for one day at most."

"No, it's not a food problem." Su Chen coughed twice, turned his head, and said in a deep voice: "The problem is water. There is no water here. No matter how strong a person is, he will eventually dry up like a tree."

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but joked: "By then, although you will be much thinner, you won't be so beautiful anymore."

Gan Yu was stunned, her face suddenly turned red. She pretended to be angry and clenched her fists: "Su Chen, I don't allow you to say that to me, otherwise... Humph!"

Su Chen couldn't help laughing as he looked at Ganyu's puffed cheeks.

The laughter gradually subsided, and his eyes became softer as he stared at Ganyu's shy appearance.

The surrounding darkness seemed to have become a curtain between them, so that they could only see each other.

In this gloomy life, they found the rainbow that belonged to each other.

Su Chen thought that the beauty in life requires one to take the initiative to discover and pursue it.

Even in the darkness, try to find that ray of light.

In the early morning of the fourth day, in a dark alley in Liyue Harbor.

Behind this prosperous city, the shadows in the dark alleys seem to hide endless secrets. The narrow passages on both sides lack the sunshine and the warmth of human nature, making them a secret gathering place for the Fatui.

In this narrow alley, an inconspicuous basement is the core area of ​​the Fatui.

Today, the tiny space was packed with people wearing identical masks.

Kukgar sighed there. He wanted to spend more time with his beloved Jiang Jing, but he had to attend the routine meetings held every three days.

"Listen, guys!" Suddenly, a blond Fatui member shouted, breaking the noise, obviously trying to attract everyone's attention.

A voice responded sarcastically: "Peter Xiu, are you going to brag about yourself again?"

“This is the greatest achievement of my life – how can I not celebrate!”

Peters was standing unsteadily, holding an empty bottle of wine in his hand, obviously having drunk a lot.

Kukgar watched Peters Xiu's performance and felt bored in his heart. He had avoided such occasions since he promised Jiang Jing not to drink anymore.

He remembered Jiang Jing's warning to him: "Cook, if I find that you smell of alcohol, just wait and see."

Thinking of Jiang Jing's stern expression, Kukgar couldn't help but feel a chill.

He cleared his throat, adjusted his sitting position, and continued to listen to Peters' boasting: "I easily defeated Su Chen at the Salt God Ruins - the guy who hindered our last plan! I didn't even have to put in any effort to defeat him, hahahaha!"

As Peters spoke, he gestured as if he was recreating that scene, causing the people around him to shake their heads and smile bitterly.

"That means the doctor's device is indeed effective. What does it have to do with people like you?"

A Fatui member retorted impatiently.

"Are you looking for trouble?" Petershou angrily counterattacked, "Even if props were used, the success of the operation is attributed to me!"

These words caused a tense atmosphere in the basement, as if it was about to explode. However, after hearing these conversations, Kukgar's face suddenly turned pale, and he stood up trembling.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" a young Fatui member nearby asked puzzledly.

Kukgar's voice was filled with shock: "What happened to Suchen? You said he was defeated? What's going on?"

His attitude suddenly became excited, completely different from his usual indifference. The young Fatui member was frightened and stammered, "Sir, you didn't come to the meeting three days ago, so I didn't hear about it..."

Kukgar's thoughts quickly went back to three days ago, when he was so busy accompanying the happy Jiang Jing that he forgot about the meeting.

Clearing his throat, he asked seriously, "What happened?"

The young man tried to calm down and explained, "Sir, don't get excited. The thing is, when Peters was carrying out the Salt of the Earth mission, he used the newly made Hundred Taboos Talisman by the doctor and trapped Su Chen, who had been hindering us, in the cave."

"Too sleepy?! Does that mean Su Chen is dead?" There was shock in Kukgar's voice.

"This... is not very clear, but what is certain is that in addition to Su Chen, there is also a blue-haired woman trapped inside. Although we don't know who that woman is, being able to put Su Chen in trouble should be a good thing for us Fatui."

The young Fatui replied, a smug smile on his face.

"So... their life or death is still uncertain, right?" Kukgar's voice was low and his brows were furrowed.

"Yes, sir, that is indeed the case at present..." The voice responded with some uncertainty.

Upon hearing the news, Kukgar felt mixed emotions. He breathed a sigh of relief, but was immediately replaced by heavy thoughts.

He realized that in addition to Su Chen, the mysterious Miss Gan Yu was also trapped in that place.

Despite the tense situation, Kukgar's thinking became clearer: he had promised Jiang Jing that he would treat these two saviors well no matter what.

He pondered that if it weren't for Su Chen and Gan Yu, his story with Jiang Jing might have ended long ago. On both sides of the wall of fate, they might only be able to look at each other as two parallel lines that would never intersect.

A thought jumped into his mind: If he revealed this information and secretly informed the Liyue officials, he might be able to rescue them indirectly. But what would it mean to do so?

Kukgar was deep in thought, and once again glanced at Peters, who was still making a lot of noise, and felt annoyed. He stood up silently, without looking back at the chaotic room, and walked straight out.

"My lord, where are you going? The meeting hasn't ended yet." A Fatui member who was pouring wine noticed his departure and asked in surprise.

Kukgar didn't look back, but said lightly: "These children's games... are too boring." His voice was almost powerless.

He left the dark basement and walked onto the street.

The streets were empty in the early morning, and he did not encounter any of the Liyue citizens who looked at him with disdain.

His steps became lighter, he walked to a wooden plank, and looked up at the sky which was gradually becoming brighter.

Dawn was coming. He leaned on the railing, staring at the mountains and the sea in the distance, silent.

Yet, picturesque as they were, they could not answer the tumultuous thoughts in his mind.

If he really acts according to his thoughts, then what is the difference between him and those betrayers?

Actions taken out of gratitude to a benefactor may sound noble, but in reality, they may be considered treason.

Kukgar's heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

……

Kukgar stood in the early morning light, lost in his own thoughts. His eyes were confused, and his heart was full of contradictions and confusion. As a foreigner in the winter, he always felt like an outsider in Liyue Harbor. Apart from his special connection with Jiang Jing, he seemed unable to have a deep emotional connection with everything here.

"Why am I staying here?" he asked himself softly, with the light of the morning sun reflected in his eyes. In the warm morning light, Kukgar felt a touch of tenderness, but it was followed by deeper confusion.

"Why does this light shine on me? I am just a stranger and have nothing to do with anything here."

His thoughts turned to Su Chen again.

Su Chen is also a foreigner, but he can integrate into Liyue so naturally and get along so well with Yue Haiting's secretary Ganyu.

Kukgar couldn't help wondering, "Why can he do it, but I find it so difficult? Is it really because of the difference in background and status?"

Pain and confusion entangled in Kukgar's heart. He rubbed his temples tightly, trying to find the answer.

Looking at the bright morning sun in the sky, a bitter smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.

He realized that people often selectively believe what they want to believe, pinning all their good hopes on the dawn of a new day and giving it various meanings.

However, Kukgar knew that darkness and light would never blend.

In this world, he is always an outsider, walking alone on his own path.

For a long time, he had been living in his own shadow until he met Jiang Jing, the girl who brought a small but beautiful light into his life.

He opened his arms as if trying to grasp the light.

In his heart, Jiang Jing was like the gentle morning light that illuminated his world and gave him new hope and direction. With her presence, he began to truly understand that even in darkness, he could still find his own light.

Kukgar took a deep breath and decided not to get lost in his own doubts. He wanted to find his place in Liyue Harbor for the sake of that light - for Jiang Jing, no matter how much effort and time it took.

He will draw strength from the light of this morning and face the future bravely.

On the fifth day of being trapped, the air in the Broken Sword Shrine became even colder, as if time had stopped here.

Su Chen looked around and the cold rock surface seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, adding a sense of desolation to this enclosed space.

"How long can we hold on?" Ganyu's voice trembled a little. She leaned against the wall, curled up to keep her body warm.

Su Chen turned his head and looked at her pale and red cheeks, feeling powerless in his heart.

He knew very well that if they couldn't find a way out as soon as possible, they might really get into some trouble. Although their lives would not be in danger, Ganyu was the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars after all. Without her, it would be difficult for anyone to handle all the work in Liyue.

That's why Ganyu was so anxious at this moment. Although she didn't say it, Su Chen could still tell from the expression on her face that Ganyu was very anxious at the moment.

"Ganyu, I will find a way." Although Su Chen's voice was firm, he knew in his heart that the possibility of finding a way out was becoming increasingly slim, unless... he used his hidden true strength.

However, directly displaying other elemental powers would obviously be detrimental to the development of the relationship between him and Ganyu, so unless it was absolutely necessary, Su Chen did not intend to tell Ganyu that he could use multiple elemental powers.

Suddenly, he thought of the two talismans with no taboos that he had found before.

Although those talismans are fake, their special powers may provide some clues.

"Ganyu, do you still remember those two scrolls of the Hundred Unrestricted Laws? We need to check them again."

Su Chen tried to explore the last hope.

Ganyu nodded and stood up from the dusty floor. Although she felt exhausted, she was still determined to face the difficulties with Suchen.

The two men re-examined the talismans, but this time they were more careful.

Su Chen discovered that there seemed to be subtle lines on the back of the talisman, which he had not noticed before.

"These patterns... seem to be a kind of map."

A gleam of light flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He carefully compared the lines with the structure of the ruins and suddenly found a possible way out.

Looking at this new discovery, Su Chen said excitedly: "Ganyu, come and see, these lines seem to point to a secret passage!"

Although it is not certain whether the channel really exists, at least they now have a direction.

A glimmer of hope was rekindled in the hearts of the two men, and they immediately began to search in the direction indicated.

As time went by, Su Chen and Gan Yu finally found a small crack in a hidden corner, which looked like an exit to the outside world.

“That’s our hope.”

Su Chen held Gan Yu's hand tightly, and there was a determination in both of their eyes.

Although the way out is narrow, they know that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will never give up.
