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

For example, if you say "Don't take off your mask," it will only make him more concerned about the "taking off the mask" thing. Children are not sensitive to negative words.

Unless you provide other alternatives after saying 'no'.

Rather than saying "Don't take off your mask," it would be better to say "Wearing the mask is the only way to experience the magic of the fairy tale world and see Daddy."

These are all based on Arecino's parenting experience, though of course she doesn't speak in such a 'gentle' way.

As for the final scene, she had spent a lot of time with children and understood their thought processes. Her method for getting a child to press a button was to write: "Do not press this button."

Because she understands children's thinking patterns well enough, children like to play with her, and adults feel at ease letting their children play with her, without being afraid that she will lead the children astray.

To put it more professionally, the above content essentially means that humans have a lag in understanding 'negative words' when processing information.

For example, if you say "Don't think about Nasita", you will first imagine Nasita in your mind, and then interpret the instruction "Don't think about".

This is even more pronounced in young children whose prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed.

Therefore, Ed's repeated mentions made everyone suspicious of his motives.

Chapter 850 Looking in the Mirror

In short, everyone felt that Ed's reminder was somewhat like "protesting too much."

Meanwhile, Ed in the story is standing outside, expressing his dissatisfaction with the Seven Gods:

"Hmph, I knew I couldn't count on the Seven Gods at all. Bah... I actually worshipped the statues of the Seven Gods. This is the greatest disgrace of my life..."

"A murderer will always be a murderer. How naive of me to think they could save anything."

Not only did he speak ill of the Seven Gods, but what was even more outrageous was that after he finished speaking ill of the Seven Gods, he turned around and praised the wonderful amethyst he encountered in that cave, saying that it was the truly great god.

They were even thinking about whether they should go back to "fulfill their vow" in order to show respect.

This really infuriated the people of the Seven Kingdoms! They were insulting our gods while simultaneously praising one and belittling another!

Barbara was furious. She opened her mouth to curse, but then said, "What is this scoundrel talking about! His god is obviously a bad guy! Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

"Hmph, no, gods don't look like that! They're 'sinners.'"

Barbara put her hands on her hips, turned her head to look at Yae no Miko, and thought to herself, "You are also a devout cultivator of the gods, don't you want to say a few words?"

Yae no Miko didn't want to say anything. She just thought, "Barbara is such a cute little girl. Why don't you scold her a couple more times?"

Barbara didn't continue her 'criticism'; instead, it was the traveler in the story who started complaining:

"But...that's not a god, Ed. That's...a sinner."

The traveler and Barbara were stating objective facts, because the term "sinner" was used by the other party themselves and was not an insult.

But Ed didn't see it that way, because he didn't hear the voice of the 'gods' at all, and he thought that the term 'sinner' was a derogatory term used by travelers.

Ed retorted emotionally, “A sinner? Hey, what nonsense are you spouting? What do you know about that god? How dare you blaspheme like that?”

"Never mind... no matter how you see it, it won't affect my devotion."

Gods, piety, blasphemy, fulfilling vows—no one expected these words to come from the mouth of a Kanria who does not believe in gods.

The contrast is... kind of ironic.

He had just been expressing his dissatisfaction with the Seven Gods and his disdain for their believers, but then the scene shifted and he himself became even more pathetic.

Given his level of loyalty, it's hard to say whether "The Clown" has the same level of loyalty to Ice God.

Even the traveler noticed something was wrong and analyzed it in his mind:

[“(Ed’s mind seems to have been affected… Although he’s never been quite right to begin with, this current fanaticism is really a bit…)”]

'He was never quite right to begin with,' it seems Yingmei has always considered Ed to be 'mentally ill,' no wonder she hasn't argued with him much all this time.

As mentioned before, the traveler is very good at thinking when there is no external brain following her, and she is analyzing the situation.

Viewers who saw this part were even more dissatisfied, not wanting to think at all, and just wanting to curse Ed.

Earlier, people still had some empathy for Ed when facing the 'father-son relationship', and they felt sorry for him and Calibel's plight.

But now people are increasingly dissatisfied with his somewhat neurotic remarks and no longer empathize with him.

At this point, viewers who had detached themselves from the relationship had a new question: Where did Paimon and Dain go?

Dain said she was going into the forest, and the scene was alternating between black and white, so at least a day had passed. Had she gotten lost and not returned yet?

And Paimon, she's never been away from the Travelers for so long, where did she go?

Losing Paimon has had a significant impact. Without Paimon's voice and talkative nature, everyone feels somewhat insecure.

If Paimon had commented on Ed at this point, everyone would have felt much more relaxed, but unfortunately, he didn't, which led to a lot of resentment towards Ed.

However, the sense of eeriness has now overwhelmed the anger. As everyone detached themselves from their emotions and realized the discrepancies between the story and their usual understanding, they only felt a strong sense of eeriness.

The story is getting weirder and weirder. Some of the more timid viewers approached their friends, thankfully they had partners.

The traveler in the story has no one to accompany her; she can only follow Ed back to that eerie cave alone to "fulfill her vow."

It can only be said that the traveler is too kind; even when faced with such a situation, he still accompanied the person with the mindset of 'not being able to leave them alone'.

Yingmei followed Ed back into the eerie cave, but strangely, this time there was nothing inside.

Both the Hilichurls and the strange amethyst had vanished completely, as if what had just happened was a dream.

But it's certain that everything that just happened here was real, because Ed said there was a strange power still surging through his body.

Since there was nothing left, the two had no choice but to return to the cabin and go back to check on Calibel.

However, they discovered that Calibel was not in the house, and there was no sign of anyone else in the house, except for a broken mirror that caught their attention.

The traveler was puzzled. A mirror? Wasn't that already broken?

Even the most oblivious viewers realized something was wrong at that moment; this story seemed to have taken place in the past!

That mirror must have been broken by Calibel after he took off his mask and saw his own reflection!

What's going on? Did the traveler travel through time? Or... did she actually never wake up after falling asleep, and she just 'dreamed that she woke up'?

Regardless of the current situation, readers are somewhat speechless, mainly speechless about Ed.

Why did you even prepare a mirror in the house? And even placed it where Kalibel could reach it.

If you really don't want him to look in the mirror, you should not only remind him, but at least hide the mirror, right?

There was nothing in the house, not even food, so why was a mirror prepared?

Since you know you can't let your son see what you look like, shouldn't you get rid of everything in the vicinity that could reflect your appearance?

This is so strange. Ed gives off a very odd and contradictory vibe. He says things that show concern for his son, but his actions seem to be deliberately manipulating him, making one wonder what he's really up to.

Was all of this Ed's plan, or just a coincidence?

The traveler and Ed in the story both seemed very anxious, rushing out to find Calibel.

I found the scarf that Calibel had been wearing on a box by the roadside as soon as I stepped outside.

This is terrible. Once Calibel takes off his scarf, he's no different from an ordinary Hilichurl. If he doesn't speak, you wouldn't recognize him at all.

Is it possible to find him? Did Calibel remove her scarf because she didn't want to be found?

Chapter 851 The Loom of Destiny

Yes, it's impossible to tell Calibel apart from other Hilichurls.

There were a few rangers ahead who said they had indeed encountered a few Hilichurls and dealt with them.

For rangers, encountering Hilichurls is a very common occurrence, and dealing with them is perfectly normal.

But for Ed, it was truly devastating; among those Hilichurls might be Calibel! My child!

Ed immediately became enraged and wanted to rush up and fight the ranger to the death.

Fortunately, the traveler stopped Ed, saying, "That's enough, Ed! Otherwise, I'll have to get the ranger to subdue you."

These words warmed the hearts of the people from the seven countries. See? We stand on the side of the travelers, and the travelers stand on our side. This is love that is mutual and mutual!

No one thought the rangers had done anything wrong. After all, they were just doing their job of clearing out dangerous monsters. If they didn't, passing caravans and ordinary people would easily be killed by the monsters.

Whose fault is it? The ranger's? Or shouldn't it be Ed's own fault for not taking good care of Calibel?

Leaving Calibel alone in the house right after he regained consciousness, and then running back to "fulfill his vow," is already quite outrageous.

Fortunately, the rangers didn't eliminate all the Hilichurls; they let one go.

It was a very strange Hilichurl, seemingly dazed and harmless, and kept walking in one direction.

This was fantastic news for Ed; maybe that Hilichurl was Calibel! He was alright!

Following the direction pointed out by the ranger, they found a Hilichurl standing on the cliff, lost in thought.

Ed shouted urgently, "Calibel, don't go any further! It's me, it's Dad!"

"Dad said this is a fairy tale world, not real. Come on, come back with me!"

However, Calibel did not respond, it is unknown whether she had lost her human consciousness or simply did not want to talk to her father.

After a long while, Calibel finally spoke, his mask still radiating an ominous purple aura as he spoke.

[Calibel: "Daddy...Daddy, this is too cruel...all of this is too cruel, Daddy..."]

Calibel removed her mask, but the scene didn't show a close-up of her face. Viewers only saw the strong purple aura in the scene and didn't know what she looked like behind the mask.

Viewers were curious about the cruelty Calibel spoke of. Was it the ordeal of Kanria, the transformation into a Hilichurl? Or... some unseen secret?

I don't know, because the movie didn't explain it either. Calibel just kept saying 'It's too cruel,' and then the screen went dark.

The scene that lit up again showed the cabin, where Ed was laughing maniacally:

"...Haha, that's right, that's it...I finally figured it out..."

What did I figure out? I don't know, the traveler didn't see anything.

It's like they skipped the most crucial part of the plot; how are people supposed to understand that?

Ed continued, “Ah, you’re awake, traveler… I was just about to share this joy with you!”

This makes it even more confusing for everyone. Joy? Where is the joy? May I ask you?

Kalibel, something's clearly wrong, isn't it? Your son has such a serious problem, and you're saying you're happy? Are you crazy? No, you seem to have been crazy for a long time...

The audience didn't understand it, but Ed in the story understood quite a bit. First, he realized the 'traveler's' identity—the prince of Canria! That's right, a prince!

He knew the 'traveler' because, as a nobleman, he had the privilege of seeing the void.

But Kong didn't know him, because as the prince of Kanria, he didn't need to know all the nobles.

Yingmei was startled. "I'm not me, I'm my brother! This is something my brother went through?"

Ed also confronted the 'Traveler' about his true identity. In fact, he had recognized the 'Traveler' from the beginning, but only dared to confirm it after spending time together.

He was actually using a pseudonym; his real name is Krodal Jalberridge.

Albury! The same surname as Kaia! Viewers began to speculate: Could this be Kaia's ancestor?

It's hard to say what others think, but Kaia thinks it's probably not true. Albury is an aristocratic surname, a common surname, and although they share the same surname, there are differences.

If we're talking about the difference, it's probably the difference between the sons of emperors and the sons of princes.

Whether he was a prince or an emperor, the 'traveler' was always surprised to hear this surname.

Although the perspective is that of her brother, her thoughts are still those of Yingmei. Unlike what her brother has eaten and seen in Kanria, this is the first time she has come into contact with people of this surname other than Kaiya.

But Ed, no, it was Krodal who ignored the 'traveler's' surprise; he simply continued speaking to himself:

"So you saw it too, that power... the power in Calibel is exactly the same as the power of the 'Sinner' you spoke of..."

"And now I'm absolutely certain... that power is... the 'Abyss'?"

His words became increasingly strange, and when the audience considered his surname, they began to realize something: Could this guy be the founder of the Abyss Order?

Considering his earlier 'blind worship' of the amethyst, his profound admiration for it certainly fits the image of a preacher.

So, he created the "Apostle of the Abyss" because he saw the "Apostle of Fate" and thought it was the ultimate form of life?

You know what, compared to the 'cute' appearance of the Abyss Mage, the Abyss Apostle is indeed much more handsome.
