Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

After dinner, the mission entered the next stage.
Set the time to after 7:00 the next morning and start the next task.
"I'm still a little concerned about what happened yesterday. Let's go check on Leah again."
I ran towards the Hall of Rebirth again, and this time at the door of the Hall of Rebirth, I saw Walnut and... Themis?
And Zhongli is there too.
Axue became curious and quickly ran over to join in the plot.
Kurumi: "You said you're not Astraea? You're Themis?"
Themis: "Yes."
Zhongli: "It is indeed very different from Astraea."
Walnut: "So, I can charge you two cents for your funeral? Of course, don't worry. We're having a special promotion at the Rebirth Hall right now. Buy one, get one free. If you book the service now, you'll only have to pay one."
Zhongli: "Master Hu, although there are two of us, since we share the same body, we should only collect the money for the funeral."
Walnut: "But we need to erect two tombstones, right? So we should charge two fees and hold two funerals. Otherwise, it would be rude. Cutting corners like that doesn't align with our service philosophy at the Wangsheng Hall."
Themis: “…”
Ying and Paimon stepped forward.
Paimon: "What's going on with you guys?"
Zhongli: "It's you guys, long time no see."
Zhongli: "You came at the right time. Something is not right with Astralia today. I think she is also very wrong."
Zhongli: "She claims to be Themis, Astraea's sister. Do you understand what this means?"
Paimon: "Well...actually yesterday..."
Paimon tells Zhongli and Hutao everything that happened yesterday.
Zhongli: "I see. It seems quite complicated."
Walnut: "No matter what, regardless of whether he has a dual personality or not, he is still a guest official of the Rebirth Hall."
Walnut: "In that case, you need to fulfill your responsibilities."
Walnut: "Here, these flyers are for you. Just hand them out like we did yesterday."
Walnut: "I have high hopes for you. If you do well, I'll give you a bonus."
Zhongli: "Master, I have a problem with this. Why have I never heard of such a thing as a bonus?"
Walnut: "If you don't come to Shengtang to keep the bills anymore, I'll give you a bonus. Do you have any objections?"
Zhongli: “No more.”
Walnut: "Are you still sending the bill?"
Zhongli: "Send."
Walnut: "...I really want to fire you."
The plot dialogue ends here.
New mission, talk to Themis.
Just stay where you are and re-enter the conversation.
However, this time there is no story about Hu Tao and Zhongli.
Paimon spoke directly: "Themis, let us help you."
Themis looked at her, said nothing, and walked away.
Paimeng and Ying looked at each other.
"It really is something that people are concerned about."
Ying nodded at Paimon's words.
Options appear on the screen.
"Follow me."
"I'm a little concerned about Leah's situation."
There seemed to be no difference between the two options, so Axue quickly chose the second one.
Quickly run to the port and then enter the plot again.
The screen went black and a line of words appeared.
You watched Themis quietly as she finished distributing the flyers. You tried to talk to her several times, but she didn't respond.
The black screen ends and the plot dialogue begins.
At this time, Themis no longer had any flyers in her hands.
Then, she finally turned her head and looked at Ying.
"Want to talk to me?"
"My dear sister, you are finally going to pay attention to me!"
Axue shouted loudly.
"I really miss the sweet Leah who would call me Big Sister!"
Shouting like this, she clicked on the only option without hesitation.
"I have many things I want to ask you."
"Then come with me."
Themis nodded slightly, then spread her wings, flew into the sky, and flew away into the distance.
"Mission: catch up with Astraea."
(Teleport anchors will be unavailable during the mission.)
fluorescent:"???????"
Axue: “???????”
Countless players: “???????????????????????????????”
Chapter 46: Water and Sky (VI)
"Bad review! Bad review! I'm going to give this mission a bunch of bad reviews!"
Axue cursed loudly.
I have to scold him. This Mi Huyou is simply spoiled. He actually came up with such a task.
Unable to teleport through the teleportation anchor point, it is just pure running.
And not only running, but also climbing Qingyun Peak again! !
Back when Liyue was first opened, Ah Xue climbed up to Qingyun Peak step by step. Later, she found out that there was a path and a wind farm on Qingyun Peak!
And now, not only had she run all the way from Liyue Harbor to Qingyun Peak, but she had also discovered that the wind field had disappeared after following the road! She wanted to climb again!
How can I not criticize this? Just asking, how can I not criticize this task?
Curse! After this legendary quest is completed, I will curse miHoYo to death! Let's see if they dare to cause trouble for players like this again!
While cursing, Axue climbed to the top of Qingyun Peak with great difficulty, and finally saw Themis standing there quietly.
——Then instantly enter the animated short film.
Themis turned her head slightly to look at Ying, and said in a complicated voice, "You actually caught up with me. It seems I underestimated you."
"So you said that because you thought I couldn't keep up?"
Ying said slightly speechlessly.
Themis turned her head and looked into the distance again, not continuing the topic. After a moment of silence, she spoke softly in an indistinguishable tone, "Yesterday, my sister learned of my existence, and that evening, she and I had a conversation."
"How did you talk about it?" Paimon seemed extremely curious about this.
Themis didn't answer the question and continued, "This morning, my sister gave up her body completely and fell asleep. She said, 'I can't go on like this. It's too lonely to be bound to her body without a body of my own.'"
"… Although I think your sister is right, there is nothing we can do about it, right? After all, you two are one."
"It's not that there's no way." Themis interrupted Ying and continued softly, "I took the initiative to merge with my sister to protect her... No, it was because of my guilt towards her and my fear of myself."
Ying widened her eyes, and Paimon looked incredulous.
"What does this mean? Can they merge into one on their own initiative?"
“I have that power.”
Themis raised her hands and looked down at her palms. For the first time, her face, which had always been cold, showed a look of...pain.
"My sister knows nothing at all. She has no idea that when I first used this power... I was actually trying to erase and replace her existence."
"........."
Ying opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say at this time, or rather, she completely didn't understand what Themis was saying.
And Themis... she didn't care whether Ying could understand or not, but just expressed all the pain hidden in her heart as if to vent.
"I'm jealous of my sister because she was born before me, because she has greater power than me, because she has a more beautiful soul than me, and because she is more favored by my father than me... I'm jealous of everything my sister has, so I want to take it away from her."
"So, I merged my entire being with my sister's, wanting to completely replace her existence."
Having said this, Themis fell into a long silence, and the scene was silent.
It was about ten seconds before she spoke again.
"But my sister completely accepted my existence."
"At that time, my sister had only the self-awareness of a baby. But even a baby would know how to resist—that's how it should be."
"But the truth is, my sister didn't resist my presence or my power at all. Quite the contrary, as if to avoid accidentally hurting me, her 'power' that she originally wanted to strike back at me only stirred for a moment before completely subsiding."
"The intense battle I imagined was going to happen didn't happen at all."
"I easily merged with my sister's existence, easily usurped her power, and easily... with just a thought, I could completely erase her consciousness."
Themis' hands were trembling slightly, and her eyes showed uncontrollable fear.
"I almost killed my own sister out of jealousy."
After being silent for a while, Ying finally spoke at this moment: "Have you given up?"
"Yes, I gave up. Not only did I give up, I also felt extremely afraid of my own existence."
Themis folded her arms, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and whispered with trembling lips:
"I discovered how awful I truly am. I want to destroy everyone who's better than me, and I want everything I don't have. I'm jealous of everything in this world. I'm so ugly, so sinful... If someone like me were really born into this world, how much disaster would I cause?"
"I was so terrified that I could only hide in my sister's presence, not daring to be born into this world again."
"Because only my sister can help me suppress my jealousy."
Themis smiled bitterly.
"The Supreme Bishop told me not to rely too much on my sister, not to always hide under her protection, and not to shrink in her shadow out of fear... But, besides that, what else can I do?"
"…………I think you should try to leave your sister."
After a moment of silence, Ying said softly:
"You're not as bad as you think. Maybe you really are, as you say, jealous beyond imagination, but haven't you always been able to control yourself? This is proof that you can leave your sister and become independent."
“That’s because of my sister.”
"If this feeling allowed you to control yourself in the past, it will definitely allow you to control yourself in the future. It has nothing to do with whether you exist in your sister's shadow, but only with whether you have the intention to not let your sister down."
"........."
"........."
Silence, long silence.
Then, gradually, the BGM changed little by little.
