In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

It was very quiet all around, because it was the middle of the night, and there wasn't even the sound of cicadas in the winter woods; the deathly silence was unsettling.

She didn't know how long she had been running, but after confirming that General Raiden was not catching up, Suzumiya Yu stopped and began to pant heavily.

"Haha..." Suddenly, he let out two strange laughs.

Soon, his laughter grew louder and louder, with fewer and fewer pauses, until finally, the entire forest was filled with his loud laughter.

The reason why Suzumiya Yu was smiling was because he had finally achieved initial success.

To overthrow the laws of nature, one must first defeat the seven gods. Previously, Suzumiya Yu was no match for the gods, but now, he has done it.

Although he never defeated a single god, at least his efforts were rewarded, and at least everything he did was not in vain.

All his previous worries vanished at this moment, and Suzumiya Yuu couldn't wait to begin his final plan with Inazuma, but before that, he'd better exchange for some stronger moves first.

Sun Breathing and Moon Breathing, both of which are far superior to other breathing techniques.

Sun Breathing is the initial breathing technique, and its power is much stronger than other breathing methods.

The reason why Moon Breathing is stronger than other breathing techniques is because it has a large number of sword techniques, a total of sixteen.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Invitation of the Eightfold Divine Child

Suzumiya Yuu needs to exchange for either Sun Breathing or Moon Breathing before she can have a final battle with Raiden General, because his current moves are relatively weak, with only the last two moves of his Destruction Kill being barely worth mentioning.

He has plenty of time, and as long as General Thunder doesn't come knocking, he's absolutely confident of victory.

Just as Suzumiya Yu was thinking this, and was about to return to the Kamisato family home, a voice suddenly came from behind him, which made his body freeze instantly.

"Oh, so you've been here all this time. I've been chasing after you for so long."

Turning around, she saw Yae no Miko, the only member of the Raiden General's retinue, and someone that Suzumiya Yu had been wary of.

For the past two years, Suzumiya Yuu has never had a direct confrontation with Yae no Miko, because the other party is exceptionally intelligent, and even if she is stronger than her, she may not be able to defeat her with 100% certainty.

What frightens Ryouji even more is that Yae no Miko is a very cautious person. She would never do anything she is not sure of. Now that she has appeared in front of Ryouji, it means that she has already thought of ways to deal with him.

"What do you want to do?" Ryou looked around again, and only after confirming that General Raiden was not nearby did she choose to calm down and talk to him.

"You ask me what I want to do?" Yae no Miko rested her chin on her hand, feigning a thoughtful expression. "Didn't you just fight the General and manage to escape from her?"

"so what?"

"Oh dear, what a heartless answer."

Yae no Miko put on a wronged expression: "I was originally planning to help you, but you are so heartless. I am really disappointed."

Her strange attitude, just like in the game, maxed out her trashy attributes, but Suzumiya Yu was very puzzled. Why would Yae no Miko help her? To help her overthrow the Raiden General? She was a member of the Raiden God's familiar.

Do you know who I am?

"Of course I know. Isn't he Kibutsuji Muzan? The guy who attacked Kujo Jinya two years ago and has been hunting in Inazuma ever since, causing widespread suffering among the people."

It's even stranger that Yae no Miko knows her own identity.

"You are a member of the Thunder God's family. Logically speaking, you should eliminate me at all costs. But you just said you would help me? Do you think I would believe that?" Of course, Ryou Miyako did not believe Yae no Miko, but he wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

“I understand what you mean, but as a member of Thor’s family, I should focus my attention on Thor. Now that Thor’s mind is in trouble, I naturally have to find a way to correct her, even if it means… seeking help from you, who should be my enemy.”

It's truly baffling that Yae no Miko, a member of the goddess's family, would seek Suzumiya Yu's help to save her from going astray in pursuit of her ideals.

Of course, this could also be just her scheme to lure Suzumiya Yu to General Raiden, and then the two of them could join forces to eliminate him.

"That's just one side of the story. If you want me to help you, you have to show some sincerity." Ryouji Yu couldn't believe Yae no Miko's words for the time being, so he wouldn't agree.

"You mean sincerity? I don't have any sincerity to offer. Oh, if only I had mind-reading abilities, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. If you've made up your mind, you can come find me at Narukami Shrine. I'm there every day."

With her finger pressed against the tip of her nose, Yae no Miko revealed a very alluring smile before turning and leaving, her figure quickly disappearing into the depths of the forest.

“This woman…” Ryou’s lips twitched. He was clearly stronger than her, but he still couldn’t deal with Yae no Miko and had no way to deal with what she said.

What a despicable fox!

......

"You...you really fought with the General?" Inside the Kamisato residence, Suzumiya Yu was reporting the events of the previous night to the Kamisato siblings.

“That’s right. Even though she only took one Eye of God, she immediately attacked me.” Ryou Miyako didn’t tell them about the Eightfold Divine Child because there was no need to.

"What shocks me even more than that is that you're still alive." A bead of cold sweat rolled down Ayato's cheek. He really hadn't expected that Yui Suzumiya could actually stand up to the Thunder General.

This was excellent news for him. If Suzumiya Yu could defeat the Thunder General, the Eye Hunting Order would definitely be abolished. At that time, not only would those whose wishes were taken away be able to regain them, but he would also no longer have to worry about his Divine Heart being taken away.

"Um... Yu, are you alright?" Ayaka Kamisato was more concerned about whether Yu Suzumiya was injured.

"General Thunder is indeed very strong, so I only exchanged two blows with her and was not injured."

"Oh, that's wonderful." Ayaka Kamisato's heart relaxed. "So, what's the plan next?"

Before Suzumiya Yu could speak, Kamisato Ayato spoke first: "I have an idea. If we have to duel with the Shogun, I hope someone can lure out the Shogun's army."

What Ayato Kamisato thought of, Yuu Suzumiya also thought of; not only that, he had even prepared a solution.

“That’s true. The Shogun lives high in the castle tower, so it’s not an easy thing to see her. We have to distract the Shogunate’s guards.” Ayaka Kamisato nodded in agreement.

Then, Ayato Kamisato offered his solution: "I think we can seek help from the resistance. Although Sangokyo is currently hostile to the shogunate, we all share the desire to abolish the Eye Hunting Edict."

To be fair, Ayato Kamisato is indeed a very meticulous person. If Yuu Suzumiya had been a little more careless at the beginning, he probably would have discovered her identity long ago.

“But… the resistance on Haiqi Island has always been at odds with our beliefs, and given our special status, would they really be willing to believe us?” Ayaka Kamisato voiced her concerns.

Indeed, if it weren't for the difference in beliefs, she probably would have already sought help from the resistance.

“That’s easy.” Ayato Kamisato looked at Yuu Suzumiya. “Given our status, the resistance will never believe us, but Yuu is different. He’s not a member of the shogunate, nor is he one of the three commissioners, and hardly anyone even knows his name.”

"So, if we let him make contact with the resistance, it might work. Besides, Xiaoyou once saved the loser in the duel in front of the emperor. If the leader of the resistance is smart, he will definitely be able to see that he is on the opposite side of the Eye Hunt Order."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Broken Childhood Heart

“No need.” Before Ayato Kamisato could finish speaking, Yui Suzumiya interrupted him directly, “I have already met with their leader regarding the resistance.”

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his gaze to Ayaka Kamisato, his eyes conveying a meaningful look.

"She has already promised to help us if necessary, so there's no need to worry about that. All we need to do now is make the final preparations."

Suzumiya Yu's words were surprising, much to the delight of the Kamisato siblings.

However, Ayato Kamisato quickly accepted this fact. He knew that Yui Suzumiya was no less intelligent than himself, so it was not strange that she could think of this problem before him and take action to solve it.

"Now that the most important problem has been solved, let's start preparing, just as Xiaoyou said." Ayato Kamisato closed his folding fan and glanced at the sky outside the window.

The final battle is about to begin.

......

More than a month has passed, and Suzumiya Yu and her group have basically completed their preparations. Now all that's left is a good opportunity.

On this day, with nothing to do, Suzumiya Yu went to Inatsuma Castle, intending to buy some newly published light novels from Yaedo.

Even though more than two years have passed since he became a ghost, Yuu Ryoumi still maintains the habits she had before she transmigrated, and reading light novels is a very relaxing thing for her.

It's worth mentioning that, in order to better understand Yui Suzumiya, Ayaka Kamisato also started reading light novels and would sometimes talk to her about the plot.

Suzumiya Yuu didn't care much about these things; Kamisato Ayaka's intentions were too obvious, and she didn't give him any surprises.

Now, as he passed by a cherry blossom tree in Hanamiban, he saw two familiar figures in the distance.

Those were Koichi and Midori, and if you add Daisuke, they were the trio who spent all their time at Yoomiya's house playing with fireworks.

Over the past two years, Suzumiya Yu would occasionally encounter them when she came to Inazuma Castle, and each time she was discovered by them, a lot of her time would be wasted.

If Yoshimiya were here, it would be fine, since she could read Ryou's expression. But those three children just didn't care about anything else and kept asking Ryou about whatever came to mind.

So this time, Suzumiya Yuu plans to leave before they find her.

"Big brother!"

He did just that, but before he could run two steps, he heard the shouts of the two children behind him.

Suzumiya Yu's lips twitched involuntarily. She was speechless. Did their eyes automatically lock onto her? Why could they always spot her from so far away?

This time, Suzumiya Yu did not choose to compromise. Instead, she pretended not to hear and quickened her pace to continue leaving.

But soon, he noticed something was wrong.

Although the sound wasn't very clear because of the distance, it seemed like Hiroichi was crying.

Looking back, Suzumiya Yui hadn't misheard; Hiroichi was indeed crying, and Midori looked somewhat flustered.

However, after seeing Suzumiya Yuu stop, they rushed towards them as if they had seen a savior.

"Big brother! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" A moment later, Hongyi, with snot running down his face, rushed into Liang Gongyou's arms and said in a pleading tone.

"Please hurry and save my dad! A bad guy suddenly came into our house with a weapon and tried to kill us! My dad... he fought back desperately to protect me! Please hurry and save him!"

A bad guy suddenly broke into their house and tried to kill the father and son. It was probably a group of thieves or a group of thieves. If it were a monster, it would be easy to identify.

"Take me there." After thinking for a while, Suzumiya Yuu agreed to Hiroichi's request.

He knew that if he didn't agree, the two children would definitely pester him to stay. So he figured he might as well just agree and maybe save some time.

Besides, if he refused, he would definitely disappoint the two children, but for him, that kind of thing didn't matter at all; he wasn't a hero.

Moreover, if it were for survival, he would even be willing to be a vicious and ruthless villain.

......

Soon, led by Hongyi, the three arrived at his home.

As soon as she got close, Suzumiya Yui smelled a bloody odor in the air, but it was only one person.

So, Hongyi's father must be dead, because it's unlikely that he killed the other party. Even if he did, there should be the smell of their blood in the air.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Hongyi, the innocent and romantic child who had been so not long ago, but who would be completely changed after today. As for what he would become... that was anyone's guess.

At this moment, a man came out of Hongyi's house, carrying a sack on his shoulder, which was full of all kinds of valuables.

When he saw Suzumiya Yu and the other two appear, he not only did not panic, but even looked at them with great interest.

"Two little brats and a young samurai, tsk, what kind of reinforcements did they bring?" He gave a disdainful smile and put down the sack he was carrying on his shoulder.

A divine eye was hanging on his waist, which was clearly the reason why he was able to kill Hiroichi's father so quickly.
