Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

But it's okay, the conflict will disappear once the Red King story comes out later.

Chapter 595 Please, just ask me.

It's normal for deserts and rainforests to have conflicts. Look at how rare geniuses in the desert can only work as servants for great sages; that's the difference in treatment caused by one's background.

Under such unfair treatment, the desert people are naturally quick to explode; the fact that they have endured this long is already a testament to their resilience.

He always says, "My patience has its limits," but he's never really exploded.

But Paimon has another problem: why doesn't the Church just experiment on the mad scholars directly, instead of sending them to Aru Village?

Paimon asked, "Wasn't it the Order of the Church that sent those scholars to Aru Village in the first place? Why do we have to take them back now?"

As mentioned before, this was for the purpose of 'washing people,' and here Elhesen also provided an explanation.

"In this process, one thing changed: the 'identity' of the scholar."

["Initially they were 'scholars,' then they became 'madmen,' then 'exiles,' and finally... 'disappeared.'"]

"Even an exiled mad scholar is still a human being. But a missing person... that's a different story."

Al Heisenberg's words can be translated as 'wash people,' which is simple and easy to understand; even Paimon understood it.

Now even readers who couldn't understand before get it. Is this Elhesen? Although he said he was disgusted, his explanation and analysis were completely thorough and detailed.

Some intellectually inclined readers are drawn to Al Heisenberg's wisdom.

At first, I thought he was a cold and unapproachable tyrant, but now I realize he's actually quite gentle.

[Al-Hysen continued, "You can't find a specific person, so you can't deduce what happened to them. In other words, 'missing people' would be an ideal resource."]

He referred to these people as 'resources,' but that was not his perspective; it was the perspective of the Church.

Paimon asked, "Resources? What use are they anyway?"

Well, how should I put it? Maybe we should get Paimon away for a bit, have her pick a couple of apples or something. The following topics aren't really suitable for a child to hear.

But Al-Hysen didn't care about all that; he answered Paimon's question.

[Erhesen replied: "It's possible that these people's brains will be used to extract canned knowledge."]

When Elhesen said this, the illustration focused on Razak, who was squatting on the ground.

However, he is not the main character; he occupies less than half of the frame due to the perspective effect of near objects appearing larger and far objects appearing smaller. What is closer to the frame is an instrument.

From this camera angle, the tubes inserted into the device look as if they're being inserted directly into Razak's brain, a chilling thought.

"Perhaps it was for these reasons that they felt pain, and that's why they cried out in the dead of night when no one was watching."

The brain's ability to extract knowledge inevitably reminds everyone of the story of the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.

Compared to this, even the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival seems gentle; the scholars' ordeal was far more terrifying.

Paimon exclaimed in fear, "Human brain... No, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's terrifying..."

I suggested we get Paimon away first, as this isn't suitable for children.

Ehrlich's statement was already quite conservative; only the Doctor and the Great Sage knew the specific experiments these scholars had undergone.

As a clerk, Elhesen knew quite a lot of information, but he knew nothing about this place.

As for Lazak next to him, he was either used in experiments and something went wrong, or he couldn't resist the temptation and used the knowledge stored in the divine jar.

Paimon asked in confusion, "I'm a little confused... So, does that mean everyone's brain is useful?"

That's obviously not the case, because Paimon's brain is clearly not very useful.

Even after Al-Hysen explained it so thoroughly, Paimon still looked confused.

Fortunately, the traveler next to her was quite intelligent, though he just didn't use it much normally.

Now that travelers are using their own brains to analyze this, is everyone's brain useful?

No, that's not it. What the Council of the Church really needs are the minds of those who have come into contact with 'divine consciousness'.

Thinking about it this way, Razak, a scholar who never communicates with divine consciousness, cannot be manipulated. He is most likely on the side of the 'experimenter' and is just a bad guy.

He was one of the ninety percent of scholars who sided with the Great Sage, and he wasn't even coerced like Setare; the serious situation hadn't been revealed yet.

However, going to prison is a better ending than his original fate.

Returning to the story, Yingmei in the story offered her analysis:

"The Religious Council needs people who have had contact with 'divine consciousness.'"

The Church of Jesus wanted to use the knowledge of these gods to help the scattered soldiers become gods.

But what the Church doesn't know is that all of this knowledge actually contains 'viruses', and the purest branch on the World Tree is now Nasita.

Just look at her little feet to know how pure they are; they are not stained with a single speck of dirt.

Ehrlich agreed with the traveler's analysis, and then it was Ehrlich's turn to be puzzled.

"I've always been curious: what exactly do they gain from knowledge related to deities?"

"What is the Church ultimately trying to achieve by pursuing these forbidden things at all costs?"

Upon hearing Al Heissen's words, the readers suddenly felt smug, each revealing a smug and petty expression.

You didn't know, did you?! Hahahaha, finally there's something you don't know!

We know! Haha, quickly beg the traveler. If you beg her, she might tell you.

Please, just ask.

This is one of the reasons why people love reading prophecy books – the pleasure derived from information asymmetry!

Even people like Elhesen and Nasida can encounter things they can't understand due to information asymmetry.

However, readers with a 'God's-eye view' have very comprehensive information, which is when they can be quite pleased with themselves.

There's nothing to be proud of if you know more than Araki Ichito, but it is certainly something to be proud of if you know more than Elheisen, because he is too smart.

Some readers are rather 'perverted'; seeing how clever and 'pretentious' Al-Hysen is, they really want to see him 'frustrated'—it's precisely because it's rare to see that they want to see it!

Unfortunately, readers may not see Elhesen plead, because Elhesen himself did not have extreme thoughts on such matters.

What's even more unfortunate is that this sense of triumph is absent in the next act of the story.

In the next scene, Al Heysen's plan is known only to those within the story, while those outside the story remain completely unaware.

The few remaining information gaps that Al-Hysen has not yet addressed have left readers extremely anxious.

Please, just ask!

Chapter 596 A Werewolf Game

Al-Hysen simply wouldn't ask; his opinion was:

"Scholars certainly pursue the limits of knowledge. But I have little interest in deities themselves, so I naturally can't muster that kind of fanatical attitude."

"Trying to extract knowledge from inanimate objects—if this is what they call academic progress, the Academy might as well just shut it down."

Well said! The readers were convinced; they never expected that Al-Hysen would pull off the stunt in the end.

However, although Elhesen is not interested in gods, everyone likes the grass god, whether it is the grass god or not.

Uh, let's not talk about that. I should say... how about we beg you, please let us tell you what happened?

We're keeping this on our minds, and it's hard to keep it to ourselves.

Unfortunately, Al-Hysen simply refused to ask; his opposition to the Council of the Church stemmed solely from the fact that the Council of the Church had violated the 'rules'.

Alhesen wouldn't help someone just because they're pitiful; otherwise, how could one person save all of Teyvat?

That's true, but not everyone likes to hear it, like Kavi.

As an idealist, Kavi was bound to have a fierce debate with Elhesen.

However, how could a civil engineer like him possibly win an argument against a linguist like Elhesen?

These two are an idealist and a realist, respectively, so bickering is a daily occurrence for them.

However, although Kavi was no match for him in verbal sparring, if we judge by actions rather than intentions, Elhesen had already lost.

Regardless of what he says, what Al Heysen has done, both now and in the future, has actually helped many people.

Although he said he wouldn't save others, in fact, he has saved quite a few people, directly or indirectly.

[Paimon's assessment of Al Heysen: "I've been wanting to say this for a while now, there are many bad people in the Council, but you're different...you're the oddball in the Council!"]

Along the way, Elhesen 'attacked' Paimon quite a bit, which was one of the few opportunities Paimon had to 'attack' Elhesen.

Unfortunately, Al-Hysen was not easily swayed by attacks. In his view, being 'special' was a kind of asset, so why bother 'fitting in'?

Paimon exclaimed, "You have such a great attitude; I'm almost impressed. If Miss Shani were like you, she wouldn't have to live so cautiously..."

Shani agrees with this, but unfortunately, she can't do it.

Shani is also a realist. She is well aware of her own abilities and knows that it is impossible to be unconventional without Elhesen's skills.

Al Heisenberg was able to do this because he had the ability and charisma; someone without that ability would just be an oddball.

To Paimon's words, Al-Hysen simply replied, "It's just that my personality is better than hers; you don't need to take it to heart."

This statement is truly speechless; Elhesen's mentality is simply unbeatable.

When others attacked him, he actually turned the attack into praise. Can you say he is a genius of the epistemological school?

As for personality and mindset, they are actually related to ability.

Those who lack ability tend to become timid and submissive, while those who have ability are much more generous.

Unfortunately, Al-Hysen was not only capable, but he was also financially independent long ago, so he would not be subservient for the sake of 'survival'.

Returning to the story, Elhesen and the traveler brought Razak back to Aru village to share information with everyone.

Candice: "Huh? And who is this?"

[Elheisen replied, "Unfortunately, he's too young to be Isaac's grandfather. However, he's one of the candidates we're looking for."]

Readers were momentarily stunned by Elhesen's way of introducing him.

Is this... a joke by Al-Hysen? His sense of humor is amazing...

As for Al-Hysen's remaining sense of humor, people didn't actually find it funny.

But you know what? The way he said it so seriously was much funnier than his jokes, so the readers still laughed.

Despite his cool and aloof demeanor, he can still make some dry jokes. Look how stable Sino's iceberg persona is.

[Sino: "In other words, that abandoned Demonscale Disease Hospital was once a base used by the Council of Gods to extract knowledge from the divine jars."]

Following "Knowledge, Shared with You," Sino made a summary, which was excellent. Sino is indeed very reliable when it comes to work.

At the same time, Sino discovered a problem: the knowledge of the divine canisters already existed, meaning that this 'hospital' had been operating for a long time.

Why did they suddenly and hastily evacuate recently?

The biggest change that has happened recently... must be their arrival in the desert, right?

But how did the other side know about this intelligence and their actions?

[Candice: "Usually in this situation, it's that—'the mole.'"]

Paimon: "Huh? Is our relationship really that fake?"

This sentence inexplicably amused the readers; Paimon's silly and goofy way of saying it was really cute.

As for the claim of a mole, readers don't believe it, mainly because none of them seem like the type to be a mole.

That's right, it's just a simple intuition. As for the reason, I haven't figured it out yet.

The story's Al Heinz has already analyzed the reason, so readers don't even need to think about it; that's what an external brain is all about.

Readers abandoned their brains and began to listen attentively; that's the charm of having an external brain.

I can't even imagine how much smoother things would have been if I had Elhesen, this external brain, during the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.

In the story, Yingmei also started to give up thinking. Having an external brain makes all the difference; she just listened to what Elhesen and the others had to say.
