Genshin Impact, start by playing as the Herrscher of the Void

"You are already paying the price, but I don't know how long you can continue to pay the price."

After saying this, Cana left on her own, leaving Teppei alone in a daze.

The price...sigh...

Silently watching Cana leave, Teppei couldn't help feeling a little distraught. He finally understood why he had felt so tired after using the secret weapon in recent times.

But even so...

Could he really resist not using that secret weapon?

Can he really still accept his former weak self?

If he gave up that secret weapon, he would return to his previous starting point, and even many things that he could do easily now would become extremely difficult.

And what will his teammates think of him? And can he still keep his captaincy?

This feeling of weakness...he really...

Don’t want to experience this again!!!

"Zheping, Zheping? Zheping!"

At this moment, Zheping's teammates had finished their reconnaissance of the surroundings and returned to him one after another.

However, Zheping obviously didn't realize this and continued to stand there in a daze.

"Ah? You...are back..." After coming back to his senses, Teppei forced a smile at his teammates standing in front of him.

"What are you thinking about? So serious. And where is that girl?" Patting Zheping's shoulder, one of his teammates asked him.

"Are you thinking about... your girlfriend back home?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe he was seduced by that foreign girl just now..."

"Hahaha--"

......

Before Zheping could reply, several of his teammates were already making fun of him, and for a moment the atmosphere was somewhat cheerful.

"I don't have a girlfriend..." Facing his teammates' jokes, Teppei smiled shyly, then he immediately said seriously, "But... after this battle, maybe I will find one, and maybe I will need your help then, so don't refuse."

"Then it's a deal—"

"I will definitely help you, but don't forget to invite me to the wedding banquet when the time comes."

......

For a moment, everyone was talking about the future and thinking about what to do after the war. They really hoped that this war would be over as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's go into the village quickly and take a look. We can't waste any more time--" Feeling that he had said what he needed to say, Zheping decided to go into the village quickly to check on the person who could cure strange diseases.

As for the secret weapon, Zheping still hadn't made a decision yet, and he still couldn't bear to throw it away.

There was no way. The secret weapon carried too many things and he really couldn't just throw it away.

But he also knew that continuing to use it might cost him his life.

So... we'll talk about it later...

"By the way, what about that girl just now?" At this time someone remembered about Janna.

"She's just a foreigner who accidentally got lost here. I've already told her the way out of here." After hesitating for a moment, Zheping lied to his teammates. He didn't want them to know about his secret weapon.

"What's wrong with these foreigners? How did they get lost and come here? Don't they know there's a war going on here?"

"If you know, you're probably not a foreigner. You know those foreigners like to run around everywhere."

"makes sense..."

......

No one thought much about Zheping's lie, they just felt that foreigners were a little unreasonable.

Just like that, amidst the conversation, Teppei and several of his teammates entered the village.

However, I don’t know if it was affected by the battle they had just had with the shogunate army, but now there was no one to be seen in the village. The doors and windows of every household were closed, and those houses with doors wide open were empty.

Hmm...what's the best way to do it?

Looking at all this, Teppei was thinking about what he should do so as not to disturb the villagers.

"Look, there's a little kid—"

"I'll go call him over and ask about the situation."

Just then, Teppei's teammates discovered the trace of a child and chased after him without saying a word.

“Don’t be so rude to a child—” Teppei came to his senses and followed.

"Let me go, let me go..."

Not long after, the child was caught by Teppei's teammates and lifted up with one hand. At this time, he was struggling continuously.

"Little boy, don't be nervous, we just want to ask about the one in your village who can cure strange diseases..."

"Big sister won't be caught by you, so just give up on this idea——"

Before Teppei could finish his question, the child had already said this.

big sister?

Could it be... Miss Janna? !

Thinking of this, Zheping was completely stunned.

But he still couldn't be sure, so he quickly asked, "Is the big sister you're talking about wearing a white headscarf?"

"You...how did you know?"

Suddenly hearing Teppei say this, the child stopped struggling and looked at Teppei in surprise.

It was precisely because he was worried that Kana would be captured by the Shogunate army or the resistance army that Choji took a huge risk to come out and look for her.

"Put him down--" Seeing that the child was no longer struggling, and in order to show his sincerity, Zheping asked his teammates to put him down.

"We just met her at the entrance of the village, but we didn't know her identity at that time. Don't worry, we have no ill will towards her, we just want to find her to learn about the situation of the evil spirit..."

Da da--

"Let him go—"

Before Zheping could finish his words, many villagers holding various weapons suddenly appeared around, led by a burly middle-aged man.

252~Jana's Thoughts and Teppei's Determination

"Village leader! Mom!"

Seeing the village chief, his mother and other villagers appear, Changci hurriedly ran towards them.

"You better leave here quickly. We don't have what you want here. The only people left here are the old, the young, the sick and the disabled. You won't get anything useful here."

After seeing that Choji was fine, the village chief Washizu was relieved. However, when he looked at Teppei and the others, his weathered eyes were filled with anger.

If it weren't for them and the shogunate army, the village wouldn't have fallen to this point, and the evil god wouldn't have suddenly appeared. All of this was because of the war between them.

But even so, Washizu only told them to leave quickly instead of letting the villagers rush in when there were so many of them.

He knew that no matter whether it was the Shogunate army or the rebels, these guys were not people they could afford to provoke.

Originally, it was difficult for them to survive under the evil spirit's chaos. The villagers who could leave had already left, and the rest could only stick together and live one day at a time.

So, it's not that there is really no other way, Washizu doesn't want to have any conflict with the rebels and the shogunate army.

"Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We came here just to investigate the matter of the evil spirit. And I also heard that you have someone here who can cure that strange disease..."

"Miss Cana has been scared away by you. She is no longer here. Leave here quickly!"

Before Teppei could finish his words, Washizu interrupted him.

Because Kana was not seen in her residence just now, Washizu guessed that she might have been scared away by the battle between the rebels and the shogunate army.

Although he was very angry about this, Washizu was helpless and could only pray that Kana would come back on her own.

"Then can you lend us these empty houses for the night? After all, it's getting late now. Don't worry, we'll leave early tomorrow morning—"

Seeing how much these villagers hated the rebels, Teppei, who really didn't want to conflict with them, found an excuse to stay here for one night to see if he could wait for Miss Gana to come back.

After all, Janna, who can cure the strange diseases caused by the evil god, will definitely be of great help in calming the evil god, so Teppei doesn't want to leave here just like that.

"I hope you can keep your word. Let's go..." Seeing that these rebels were determined to stay for one night, Washizu didn't say anything else. After all, they were just a group of ordinary villagers and couldn't afford to offend these rebels.

Just like that, the villagers followed Washizu back to the village, while Teppei and his companions planned to spend the night in several empty houses at the entrance of the village, and see if they could wait for Cana to come back.

"In that case...even if Miss Cana comes back, I'm afraid those villagers will tip her off..." Knowing what Teppei was thinking, a teammate next to him said this with some concern.

"No, Miss Cana must have gone out to do something. She is not afraid of us." Shaking his head, Teppei denied what his teammates said, thinking of what happened just now. But he suddenly realized something, "Oh, right, we can go around here to look for Miss Cana's traces. Maybe she is nearby."

He acted immediately. After realizing this, Teppei immediately called on his teammates to go outside to look for Janna's trace.

-------------------------------------

The head of the snake god.

Here it is...

But... the number is a bit too much...

Looking silently at the huge snake bone in front of her, and then looking at other places around it, Janna frowned rarely.

Now, after seeing those humans from the Coral Palace, she no longer had any interest in staying here any longer. She felt that it was time for her to go to the Coral Palace. But before leaving, she wanted to get rid of the so-called evil spirit pollution, as a reward for those humans who answered her questions.

However, what Janna didn't expect was that except for the snake bones, the pollution from these evil spirits was concentrated in small pieces in other places, and she couldn't clean them all up at once.

Of course, it’s not that she can’t get rid of them all at once, but the main reason is that the humans living here are too fragile and can’t withstand her tossing and turning.

Hmm? What are they doing here...

Suddenly, Janna sensed the presence of the humans she had just met.

"Ms. Janna, are you here?"

"Ms. Janna, we have something to discuss with you—"

"Ms. Cana—"

......

Just as Cana discovered Teppei and the others, their voices soon came over.

But Janna didn't want to pay attention to them, she had things to do.

"No...it's too dark, I can't see anything..."

"My head... seems a little dizzy... what's going on?"

"I think I feel the same way..."

......

After searching for a while, Zheping and others did not find any trace of Janna, and for some reason someone began to feel dizzy.

Faced with such a situation, Zheping had no choice but to go back: "Let's go back first and see what happens tomorrow—"

the next day.

bump--

"Something happened! Wake up! The shogunate army has sent more troops, and Kujo Sara is among them."

In a daze, Zheping suddenly heard a "bang" and someone opened the door and rushed in, and said these words in a hurry, which made him wake up immediately.

The Shogunate? Kujo Sara? Oops...

Because they were too focused on Cana yesterday, and because of the inexplicable dizziness, Teppei and his companions did not expect or discover in advance that the shogunate army would come back. What they did not expect was that even Kujo Sara came from the shogunate army, which made him sit up suddenly and look at his teammates who were cautiously looking out through the windows and door cracks, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Lord Sara, according to the villagers' report, the rebels were still in this village yesterday, in the house in front."

At this moment, the conversations and footsteps of the Shogunate troops outside could be clearly heard even by Tetsuya and others hiding in the house.

Nine-jo Sara...

Looks like it still depends on you...

Taking out the secret weapon hidden in his chest and placing it in his palm, Zheping looked at it with a determined gaze.

He knew that the more determined he was to gain power, the more powerful the power he would gain.
