However, where it pointed, there was nothing.
Because they were leaving the city secretly, they naturally could not take the main road. Instead, they left the city through the secret passage that the Knights had built to the city wall.
Now Qin's divine eye suddenly moved strangely, which obviously made her a little suspicious.
"So, what are your plans, Jean?"
Lisa inquired.
"With my lady's intuition, I can feel that there seems to be something over there that I miss and don't want to see."
"Barbara also thinks it's time to go."
Barbara had some expectations in her heart, but she was afraid that it was just wishful thinking.
And Qin, as the owner of the Eye of God, or the acting owner, she can feel it clearly.
The Eye of God is constantly trying to go to that place, to the source of the restlessness.
According to common sense, after lighting up one's own Eye of God, the relationship between the owner and the Eye of God is no different from that between the human body and its organs. How can an organ separate from its host and turn to someone else?
Unless the master dies and the Eye of God becomes dim, it will have the possibility of being re-lit.
Now, although he has not lost the ability to control the Eye of God, in this state, his combat effectiveness will obviously be greatly reduced.
Want to go there?
What if it's a trap?
However, if one looks at the root of the matter, the only person who can resonate with his God's Eye is Youya...
The mere thought of her name made it impossible for me to calm down.
Qin took a deep breath, then tightly grasped the Eye of God and said solemnly: "I plan to go there. Barbara, you go back to the church first, and then Lisa...you, just accompany me."
"No problem." Lisa had no objection to this.
But Barbara was not as well behaved as usual and stared at her sister with some dissatisfaction.
"I want to go too!"
"…Barbara, there might be danger…"
"But, sister will protect me, right? Besides, I can help sister too!"
Barbara's words were very willful, but as her elder sister, Qin could see the strong obsession in them.
Yes, just as she knew that the changes in the Eye of God were not normal. Barbara was also naturally concerned about the changes in Yuya's Eye of God.
With Lisa's supportive gaze, Jean finally allowed Barbara to go with her.
She relaxed her control over the Eye of God and, relying on its sensing, continued to move forward.
After wandering around for a while, they finally arrived at a remote house.
"This is... Amber's home?"
Since Grandpa An left, Amber rarely lived here. Most of the time, she lived in the knight dormitory with Eula, and occasionally spent holidays at Eula's house.
On the contrary, I seldom go back to my own home. The reason behind this is not difficult to guess.
On the balcony on the second floor, a window was wide open, and a scent like that of white peaches lingered in the air.
A thief, or?
Qin felt a little worried again, but at this point, she didn't intend to retreat.
Even if Amber blamed her for this, she was determined to break in and give it a try.
She came to the door and tried to push it gently, but the door was not locked and it opened with a creak.
Apart from the Count Rabbit piled everywhere, there is a breath of life here.
Is Amber relieved of her heart disease?
Qin speculated as she walked upstairs slowly.
The road was not long, but it gave her goose bumps all over her body. She even felt a little resistant and wanted to turn back.
This comes from bad memories from childhood.
Barbara, who came in with her, also hugged her arms tightly, with a sad expression on her face.
Until we reached the second floor, in the room where Amber lived.
Qin sensed a very familiar breath.
Her heart was pounding, and Barbara was holding her breath.
The two sisters looked at each other, and then opened the door together.
On that side, a petite girl was sitting in a wheelchair facing the window, holding a book in her hands and seemingly reading.
The breeze brought a faint fragrance, which made the two feel dazed again until they looked again.
The girl had already turned around and was looking at the uninvited guest who had broken into the room.
The face that was exactly the same as that of their childhood friend made them speechless for a long time.
"...How rude, that look. It's as if you were looking at the dragon Durin..."
The girl's voice was cold, but there was a sly cat-like smile on the corner of her mouth.
She blinked and spoke again.
"Did he send you to arrest me?"

"...Yuya?"
Barbara looked at the petite, lovable girl, and memories of the past kept flooding back to her. The sadness and regret of those days all came to her mind.
But in the end, she could only murmur like this.
She knew it very well and was afraid.
The dead cannot be resurrected.
This is a truth that even a child can understand. But here, the girl with the face of her old friend appearing, could it really be the girl in her memory who always smiled like a cat?
Even Qin was full of doubts about this, but the Eye of God would resonate with her, so there shouldn't be any other answer...
During this brief eye contact, the girl also answered with a slightly playful tone.
"Hmm? It seems you know her too."
"She" who looked like a girl sneered, then glanced around a few times with little interest, and finally chose to lower her head and continue reading.
"She? You are not Youya. Who are you and why do you appear as Youya?"
As if her reverse scale had been touched, Qin couldn't help but question.
But the girl didn't react at all. She just continued to read the book and said in a cold voice: "I don't have a name. I'm only two days old..."
When the two of them looked somewhat surprised, she raised her head and gave a mischievous smile that seemed to be teasing them.
"Just a little joke. You can call me Kurotsuchi. Although it doesn't sound like a girl's name, please believe me, I won't lie."
"Black soil..." Qin frowned slightly. This is a term in a certain school of alchemy.
The person associated with this is Mondstadt's chief alchemist, Albedo, who holds the power of "birth".
However, he never showed that he could create "human beings".
But the girl in front of him clearly has a close relationship with him...
In fact, if the facts are really as she thought, then the number of people involved in this matter may be more than imagined.
She forced herself to suppress her anger, and even her original attitude became colder and harder, not as moved as when they first met.
"Sure enough, you are not Youya..."
While Qin was thinking, Barbara also showed a depressed and sad side.
During this brief time together, she could increasingly feel the "difference" beneath the "similarities".
That’s right, even her appearance, voice, and tone are exactly the same as she was in my memory.
But she is not Youya after all, and she does not have her memories.
This is a counterfeit of emotion and a trampling on the deceased.
"Hmm? Didn't I just tell you that I'm Kurotsuchi?"
The girl was not touched by the sadness of the girl in front of her, but remained casual as if she was not involved.
"Your creator is Albedo, right?"
Qin stopped her agitated sister and asked coldly.
"Yes."
The girl responded cheerfully.
There was no guilt in those eyes, nor any emotion such as reverence.
This also made Qin more determined that the girl in front of them was just a crude imitation of their past memories.
"Where is he now? And why are you here?"
"Although I don't mind answering your questions, based on what I've learned from books and from Sugar, this isn't the right attitude for a person asking questions, right?"
Heitu was very straightforward, and even sounded a little unhappy.
This made Qin silent for a moment, and she suppressed her tit-for-tat anger a little and repeated the question again.
"Well, although I still seem a little unconvinced, I will tell you since I will need your help later."
The girl blinked and her smile deepened.
"As for Albedo, I don't know, but he's probably on his way to find me. As for why I'm here, it's simple... I'm here to find the answer to my question."
"The answer to the question?"
"Yes. I am looking for the meaning of my birth—"
The girl's words were a little difficult to understand, but they matched the alchemist Albedo that Jean knew.
"So, that's why you found this place?"
"Yes. After all, this is where I was born. It would be great if I could learn something here."
As she spoke, the girl stood up from the wheelchair. Her height was exactly the same as the friend in her memory, and Qin even felt that she was so petite that it was heartbreaking.
The emotional ups and downs of that moment were quickly contained. She would not place any unnecessary emotions on a fake. Even if the other person looked very similar, he was not the person she cherished.
"But even if I did exactly what I imagined, I still couldn't experience that kind of emotion."
Kurotsuchi didn't notice her change in mood and just kept talking to himself.
"It's like reading a story in a book. I can't empathize with it at all."
The gesture of spreading out his hands inexplicably made people feel annoyed.
Barbara was obviously very disappointed. Even though her heart was filled with emotions, she couldn't calm herself down and be rational.
Therefore, under the gazes of Heitu and Qin, she said with a little sadness: "I will go downstairs and call Sister Lisa up. Maybe she knows something about this."
After saying that, he went downstairs with a "click" and a "click".
As she listened to her footsteps fading, Qin turned her gaze back to Kurotsuchi, who smiled harmlessly in response.
"Next, I would like you to follow us back to the Knights."
Qin's tone had a sense of distance that made people feel that it was just a business matter.
In this regard, Heitu did not care about her changes. Rather, according to what she knew, this was already a good progress.
At least, compared to those abandoned "sisters", she not only left the cage of birth, but also had a brief freedom.
So she shrugged and responded casually.
"no problem."
When the two of them went downstairs together, they also met Lisa, who had a serious expression on her face.
