He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

These gathered elements looked somewhat listless, as if they were bound by some force.

Meanwhile, in the consciousness space, Raiden Shin silently gazed at the "Thousand-Eyed Hundred-Handed Statue" in the distance, unlike Wu Di.

Having served as Thor for a period of time, she was very familiar with the aura of the Eye of God.

In Wu Di's view, the points where elements gathered were all pieces of divine eyes, which were still lit, but the brightness was very weak.

Furthermore, Raiden truly knew that the vast majority of these Eyes of God contained the "wishes" of their masters, with very few exceptions.

His own "desire" was bound to the "Thousand-Eyed and Hundred-Handed Statue" along with the Eye of God.

So how are those who were deprived of their "wishes" and the Eye of God doing now?

Raiden had this question deep in her heart, and she wanted to see how they were living.

Then she told Wu Di her thoughts, and Wu Di relayed them to Thomas.

Before Wu Di could even remind him, Thomas understood that this was the idea of ​​the previous Thor.

Then he said he would think about it for a while, even though Thomas was just a steward of the Shinri family in the eyes of outsiders.

However, he is able to know a lot of unimportant information. As for the important information, one can only say that sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness.

After thinking for a while, Thomas decided on three candidates and began explaining the most recent one.

The first one is a kendo genius. His talent is exceptional. Since joining the kendo school, he has been improving every day and constantly defeating his fellow disciples.

To others, this genius was full of confidence and a rising star.

However, after being deprived of his divine eye, he began to become timid and cowardly, and started to fear touching a sword, even choosing to give up the way of the sword.

The reason behind this is unknown to anyone, but it is known that from that day on, the former sword genius has now become a "waste".

The second was a soldier in the shogunate army who held a certain position. He was kind-hearted and enthusiastic about helping the poor.

He would pretend that his salary was official relief grain and distribute it to the poor people, while he himself lived in poverty.

However, after being stripped of his divine eye, he forgot about it and denied it when faced with people asking him for relief food.

Those who had been helped had taken the relief food for granted, and therefore they were hurling insults at him, accusing him of embezzling the relief food.

The third is a man who is waiting for someone. He has been waiting since he still possessed the Eye of God. As for who he is waiting for, there is no result yet.

However, after being deprived of his God's Eye, he forgot who he was waiting for, but his subconscious told him that this person was very important, so he waited alone in Konta Village.

Chapter 145 Why did you come back all smiles?

The impact of words alone is not strong, so when Thomas was explaining, he also took Wu Di and Columbia to the place where the person in question was.

We have gained a clear understanding of the current situation of the person involved.

If you lose your "wishes" and your memories, will you become a different person?

Wu Di didn't know how to answer, so he listened silently until Thomas finished explaining about the three people.

Unconsciously, Wu Di began to think about what his wish was.

Is it about finding a place to belong? Or...?

Thinking of this, Wu Di subconsciously glanced at Columbia beside him.

The girl noticed his actions and gave him a slight smile, as if to say, "I'm right here."

Thinking of Columbia reminded me of Tenri and the others.

It seems I've found it.

Unlike Wu Di's sudden realization, Lei Dianzhen looked at the person involved in the distance with complicated feelings, wanting to think for a while.

He was thinking about how to beat his younger sister out of the way!

However, I will need to rely on Wu Di's help, because she wants to take action herself.

……

Having seen everything they wanted to see, Wu Di and his companion bid farewell to Thomas and returned to Narukami Shrine.

The shogunate army squad watching them from behind looked on in utter bewilderment.

At this moment, a question echoed in their minds.

Huh? So fast? You only saw the "Thousand-Eyed, Hundred-Handed Statue" and visited three other people before leaving? Didn't you stay a little longer?

That way they can get intelligence!

All they have now is the information that those three people were stripped of their God's Eye, and that's all.

Hopefully, this clue is still somewhat valuable; otherwise, the family head will berate me.

Oh, how tragic.

—Heavenly Order

Information about what the Liyue hermit did in Inazuma Castle came to Kujo Takayuki.

After listening, he didn't show any expression on his face. Instead, he remained silent for a moment and then glanced at the squad in front of him.

That one glance made the entire team's hearts race, their breathing become heavy, and they were incredibly tense.

Seemingly sensing the team's tension, Kujo Takayuki snorted and then spoke.

"Hmph, after monitoring for so long, this is all the information we've gathered."

"Never mind, all of you, get out."

Upon hearing this, they were overjoyed; they wouldn't have to be scolded anymore!

He quickly responded and left, afraid that if he hesitated any longer, he would be caught.

As Kujo Takayuki watched them leave, he began to ponder deeply.

For example, why did that Liyue master want to take a look at the three people who had been stripped of their Vision?

Moreover, it seems that Thomas from the Kamisato family has specifically collected information on this topic; otherwise, he wouldn't know so much.

What is their intention?

Is it to let that Liyue master know what happens to someone whose Vision is taken away? To make him understand the dangers of the [Eye Hunt Order]?

Then, how about we pull that Liyue hermit onto the Shinri family's ship?

The more Kujo Kogyo thought about it, the clearer his mind became, and he felt that he had come to the truth.

After thinking for a while, he came to a conclusion.

The Kamisato family is going to rebel against the Shogun's "Eye Hunt Order"!?

When this conclusion came to Kujo Takayuki's mind, those "threads" instantly connected.

He arrived at the answer.

But he was more puzzled. How dare the Kamisato family? Did they really think they could defeat the Thunder General just because they had the strength of a Liyue hermit?

What a pipe dream.

Kujo Takayuki scoffed at the Kamisato family's plans, seeing them as a prime example of overestimating their own abilities.

But it doesn't matter. Since the Kamisato family likes to court death so much, I'll just go with the flow and expose their preparations when the [Eye Hunt Order] is partially successful.

The Shinri family shall be removed from the list of the Three Orders!

Then he would support a patriarch who was loyal to him and make him the head of the clan.

At that time, I will be second only to the emperor in Inazuma. Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.

"Ha, the opportunity is right in front of me. If I don't take advantage of it, I'll be a disgrace to humanity."

Just as Kujo Takayuki began to fantasize about the future glory of the Kujo family, a familiar voice rang out behind him.

"My lord."

He turned around and looked at the girl in front of him, his adopted daughter, Kujo Sara, who was also someone he was proud of.

"We've made progress on the last Eye of God, and I believe we'll be able to get it tomorrow."

Upon hearing Kujo Sara's report, he nodded slightly. As expected, she was the one who put his mind at ease. He then went to her, reached out and patted Kujo Sara's shoulder, speaking encouragingly.

"Saro, well done. After this is over, whatever reward you want, I will give you."

"Thank you, patriarch. However, everything I have done is to carry out the general's will, so regarding the reward..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kujo Takayuki interrupted her with a forceful remark.

"There will be rewards for merit, so please don't refuse the reward, Sara. Think about what you want when the time comes."

“I understand, patriarch.”

Knowing that she could not refuse, Kujo Sara did not refuse anything further and agreed.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

"Yes!"

"..."

——Narukami Taisha Shrine

Back at Narukami Shrine, Tenri and Barbara noticed something was off about Columbia, especially the smile on her face.

Although she usually maintained a gentle smile, they sensed a suppressed, maniacal laughter emanating from Columbia.

It's as if they've learned some incredible information, and one that's particularly beneficial to them.

The two decided to "question her thoroughly," and then, with smiles on their faces, they led Columbia to another room, intending for the three of them to have a good talk.

Sensing something was off, Wu Di wanted to go and check it out, but was kept behind by Yae no Miko, who had already made arrangements.

There was nothing they could do but watch the girls leave.

In the empty room, Tenri and Barbara sat facing Columbia, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.

Especially the expression on Barbara's face, it was as if she was saying, "Didn't you say you weren't going to compete? Why are you back all smiles?"

"Be lenient with confession, strict with resistance!"

Tenri crossed his arms, adopted a serious posture, and then spoke to his friend.
