Ch 196 : Arriving in Inazuma, New Information

[23. Arataki Itto is a trustworthy companion, but only if he hasn't eaten any bean products.]

Looking at this piece of rule-based information, Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed that, in Inazuma, the trustworthy companion would be Arataki Itto...

And from the way it was phrased, it seemed that as long as Arataki Itto ate bean products, he could very likely fall into an eerie state...

But then again, Itto was allergic to beans, so he probably wouldn't casually eat anything related to them...

Moreover, past experiences had shown that whether it was Wriothesley or Xiangling, anyone who became controlled by the eerie force after consuming a certain item could revert to normal by expelling the consumed item from their body...

Wait a minute, Su Yuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

Something didn't feel right.

Why did he just mention Xiangling?

He hadn't even set foot in Liyue, nor had he seen her—how could he possibly know the conditions under which she would be affected by the eerie force?

Could it be that his excellent memory was playing tricks on him?

Had he actually been to Liyue already?

But yesterday, he didn't have any sense of a death rewind, and his left palm hadn't shown any new prompts...

Su Yuan couldn't make sense of it, so he decided to stop overthinking and continued reading:

[24. If you meet someone you shouldn't meet, no matter what that person says, do not trust them easily.]

Someone you shouldn't meet?

Su Yuan was a bit puzzled.

Who exactly was someone you shouldn't meet?

He felt a bit frustrated.

He hated these kinds of riddles!

He no longer had the stable rewind chances he had before, and his means of obtaining information were already greatly reduced...

Now, he was relying on the information from his right palm every day, hoping it would be more useful, but now this was happening!

There were only three pieces of information each day, and one of them was a riddle!

However, Su Yuan noticed that there seemed to be more text below, so he continued reading:

[Special Information: You have gained an additional rewind chance: 1.5 times.]

[Currently available rewind chances: 2.5 times.]

[25. After surviving the ninth night, new information will be unlocked.]

The rewind chances increased?

What exactly happened yesterday that caused his rewind chances to go up?

But yesterday, it seemed like he didn't do anything at all...

Moreover, Su Yuan really wanted to complain about how this rewind chance even had a decimal point.

Also, the number 2.5 made it hard not to think of something...

One more thing: if he had already used 2 rewind chances and now only had 0.5 left, did that count as having rewind chances?

Could he still rewind?

If he could still rewind, how would that work?

Would he only be able to gain half the information, or would only half of his body be able to go back?

Su Yuan thought for a moment.

Unless absolutely necessary, he decided not to try it lightly...

"Su Yuan, stop sleeping in!"

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Beidou's voice came from outside:

"We're about to arrive at Inazuma's distant island, so get ready and come out when you're done!"

"Okay, Beidou, I'll be right there!" Su Yuan quickly tidied up his clothes and left the cabin room.

Su Yuan stepped onto the deck of the Alcor and noticed that everyone seemed to already be waiting there for him...

He couldn't help but want to roast himself a little—why was he always the last one to wake up?

Looking ahead, Su Yuan saw that not far in the distance, a port and land had already come into view.

That must be Inazuma's Ritou.

"Everyone, last night, I received some new intel. Let me share it with you now."

Su Yuan looked at the group and briefly but thoroughly explained the information he had obtained the night before.

"You can't make eye contact with the Raiden Shogun? What, like the moment you do, she'll gouge your eyes out? That's way too scary…" Paimon said, looking visibly shaken.

"But wait, are we seriously going to rely on the cow herder for help as soon as we get to Inazuma?" Paimon continued.

"Well, I guess it makes sense. He's an oni, after all. Even without a Vision, his physical strength and abilities are still stronger than most people's!"

"I remember back during the last Vision Hunt Decree, some people completely broke down after losing their Visions… But the cow herder? He was totally fine, like nothing happened!"

"Hehe, but what if he gets targeted in this new Vision Hunt Decree too, and they go for his real eyes this time instead? Would he still be able to laugh it off then?"

Paimon said it jokingly, but Aether shot her a glance and replied, "Paimon, don't say such ominous things!"

"I think we might also try to find an opportunity to visit the Grand Narukami Shrine and see if we can get help from Yae Miko…"

Aether thought for a moment before speaking:

"During the last Vision Hunt Decree, Yae Miko did provide us with a great deal of assistance…"

"While I agree with that idea," Kazuha said, "I think we should prioritize meeting with Kujou Sara first. After all, she's the one who wrote the letter asking for our help, so she probably isn't a threat."

Hearing Kazuha say that, Su Yuan fell into thought again.

Was Kujou Sara really fine?

Was it possible that the letter was just a trap to lure them in?

But now that they had come all this way, turning back halfway didn't seem like an option either.

As the group discussed their plans, time passed quickly, and the Alcor soon arrived at the port on Ritou's shore.

But they quickly realized something was off...

Ritou was Inazuma's most important port for international trade, where goods from all across Teyvat were transferred and sold.

Ever since the lifting of the Sakoku Decree, this place should've been bustling and lively...

But right now, apart from the usual patrols and inspections by the Tenryou Commission officers at the docks, there didn't seem to be anyone else around...

There was something else odd, too—the Tenryou Commission officers weren't just wearing their standard purple uniforms; they were all wearing sunglasses as well…

"Uh… is this some kind of new fashion trend in Inazuma?" Beidou asked, clearly unsure of what to make of it.

"No, I actually think this might be their way of protecting themselves…"

Su Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Actually, we could do the same—get a pair of sunglasses and wear them. That way, even if we accidentally make eye contact with the Raiden Shogun, she probably wouldn't notice."

"Hey! All of you on that ship—get off! Prepare to pay the entry fees!"

One of the officers at the port shouted toward the Alcor, signaling it to dock.

After that, Su Yuan and the others followed Beidou off the ship, setting foot on Inazuman soil.
