Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

These crystals... and this mind-corroding energy fluctuation...

It seems that the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes are definitely those guys from the Abyss Order.

He instantly understood.

Yi Chen knew, of course, that the person in front of him was the real Dvalin. His accusations of "you are not Dvalin" and "possessed" were just a joke to test whether Dvalin still had basic rationality and communication ability.

It now appears that, despite the pain and anger, Dvalin's core consciousness remains intact; he can still communicate and feel resentment. This indicates that the situation is not yet at its worst, and he has not yet been completely corrupted into a puppet that only knows destruction.

In that case, the most urgent task is not to fight Dvalin to the death, but to find the rats hiding in the shadows of the Abyss Order.

Then... each of them delivered a "Demon Elbow Strike" filled with love and justice.

High in the sky, Dvalin sensed the increasingly terrifying elemental energy fluctuations emanating from Yichen, which even made it feel a slight unease. It then glanced at the Knights of Favonius below, who were on high alert, and a trace of weariness and sorrow flashed in its huge dragon eyes.

It let out a long sigh filled with helplessness and resentment, flapped its huge dragon wings, and prepared to leave temporarily to make further plans.

Seeing this, Yi Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and did not pursue it, letting it go.

A head-on confrontation is not the best approach; finding the root cause is key.

However, after Tvalin flew a distance, that feeling of frustration returned.

Take a step back, the more you think about it, the more angry you become!

Barbatos is nowhere to be found, the Mondstadt people have forgotten about it, and now even some random black kid dares to point at its nose and say it's a fake?!

I just can't swallow this!

So it suddenly turned around, aimed at a seemingly remote area on the outskirts of Mondstadt where it could not detect any living beings, condensed a highly compressed terrifying wind blast, and spat it out fiercely!

This is a way to vent my anger that has nowhere to go!

"Boom-boom!!!"

The wind-blown projectile hit its target precisely, producing a loud explosion.

As Yi Chen was about to land, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the explosion, wanting to see where the huge thing had vented its anger.

That one glance made his blood seem to freeze instantly!

That location is...that location is?!

Yi Chen's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, emitting a sharp, deafening bang!

"No--!!!!"

"My newly bought house!!!"

Yi Chen's voice was as mournful as a cuckoo's cry of blood.

He instantly transformed into a blue whirlwind that tore through the sky, rushing madly towards the area now filled with smoke and dust at ten times the speed of before!

When he arrived, he saw that the once exquisite and beautiful villa had been reduced to ruins, with the roof nowhere to be seen, and only a few charred logs hanging pitifully.

As if struck by lightning, Yi Chen landed straight in the center of the ruins, staring blankly at everything before him.

Are you kidding...

This place... is hell...

When Qin and Kaiya finished dealing with the aftermath in the city and rushed to this remote suburb, they found Yichen sitting alone in the ruins, looking lost and dejected.

His eyes were vacant, and he unconsciously clutched a charred piece of wood in his hand, as if the whole world had lost its color.

The air around us was terribly oppressive.

Qin's heart clenched instantly. She quickly stepped forward and called out cautiously.

Yi Chen seemed to be awakened from a nightmare. He slowly raised his head and saw that it was Qin and Kaiya. His eyes focused slightly.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said in an unusually calm, even eerily calm, tone:

"Ah, you're here."

"Dvalin did not intentionally want to destroy Mondstadt; his mind was controlled by the Abyss Order using some kind of cursed crystal, amplifying his pain."

As he spoke, he expressionlessly beckoned with his finger, and a wisp of wind carried a dark purple crystal that exuded an ominous aura, which floated lightly to Qin's front.

"Let Miss Lisa track down the abyssal aura above us and see if we can follow the clues to find the mastermind's lair."

Qin did not immediately take the crystal. Her gaze remained fixed on Yi Chen's seemingly calm demeanor, which was actually on the verge of collapse. She asked with concern.

"Yichen...are you...are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Chen slowly shook his head, his tone remaining eerily calm. He even forced a slight upward twitch at the corner of his mouth, attempting to convey an "I'm fine" expression.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine."

"It's just that... my home is gone."

He repeated it, as if trying to convince himself, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed him.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he uttered the most terrifying words in the calmest tone:

"Yeah, I'm not going to find all those masterminds one by one when I meet them, and then... tear them to pieces."

After saying this last sentence, as if all his strength and perseverance had been drained away, Yi Chen rolled his eyes and fell straight backward.

Qin exclaimed in surprise, took a step forward, and quickly reached out to hold the collapsed Yichen firmly in her arms.

Feeling the weight of the person in her arms instantly losing consciousness, Jean anxiously looked up and called out to Kaeya, whose expression was equally grave:

"Kaiya! Go and call Barbara here! Quickly!"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"Yi Chen... Yi Chen seems to be furious!!!"

Chapter 3 The Most Awkward Person in History

As night deepened, the ward area of ​​Mondstadt Cathedral was exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional soft footsteps and faint prayers heard in the distance.

Yichen's hospital room door was gently pushed open, and Yura walked in, looking at Barbara who was guarding the bedside.

"Is he... alright?"

Yura kept her voice very low, afraid of disturbing the person who seemed to be sleeping soundly in the hospital bed.

Barbara looked up, saw it was Yura, gave her a gentle smile, and shook her head slightly.

"Don't worry, Miss Yura. Mr. Yichen is fine. He just fainted because of excessive exertion (flying back to Mondstadt at full speed from Mount Aozang) and emotional distress. He should wake up tomorrow after a night's rest."

Upon hearing this, Yura relaxed slightly and nodded.

She had just gone out on patrol as usual for a day when she returned to hear a series of shocking news: the attack by the Wind Demon Dragon, Yi Chen's return, the destruction of the house, and the fainting of the person. This really startled her.

When she saw Yura arrive, Barbara considerately stood up.

“Miss Yura, now that you’re here, I’ll leave this place to you for the time being. I still need to check on the other injured patients.”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Barbara."

Yura thanked her softly.

After Barbara gently closed the door and left, the ward fell into complete silence.

Yura walked to the bedside, slowly sat down on the chair beside the bed, and gazed at Yichen's sleeping profile with complicated emotions.

This usually energetic guy was quiet at this moment, showing a rare hint of docility and vulnerability.

Long eyelashes cast faint shadows under her eyes, her breathing was steady, but her brows seemed to be unconsciously furrowed even in her sleep, as if she was still heartbroken for the house that had become ruins.

After hearing what had happened, Yura's initial resentment and jealousy towards Yichen for "playing the field" in Liyue, stemming from Kaeya's letters, dissipated considerably.

Instead, there was a deep sense of heartache and shared hatred for the enemy.

She gently raised her hand, her fingertips hesitated for a moment, and finally landed very gently on Yichen's soft black hair.

"What an idiot."

She muttered to herself, but there was little blame in her tone.

After carefully examining Yichen's exposed arms and neck, and confirming that there were no external injuries, and that his breathing and body temperature were normal, Youla finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She withdrew her hand, looked at Yichen's sleeping face, and as if she had thought of something, whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Perhaps... this time it was Lord Barbatos who saw that you were too promiscuous in Liyue, so he gave you this little punishment to teach you a lesson, you blockhead."

Yura spoke softly, with a hint of teasing, as if that could dispel some of the bad luck that was hanging over him.

After a moment of silence, Yura's eyes gradually sharpened. She straightened her back slightly and looked at Yichen.

"Really... I'll remember this grudge."

Of course, she didn't remember the grudge against this guy who had lost his home and was lying pitifully in the hospital bed.

Yura Lawrence clearly remembered this debt and held it firmly against the Abyss Order, who lurked in the shadows, manipulated Dvalin, and indirectly caused the destruction of the Dust House.

A quiet environment makes it easy for one's thoughts to wander.

A few minutes later, as Yura looked at Yichen's unguarded sleeping face, those little emotions that she usually suppressed or covered up under the pretext of "holding a grudge" unconsciously surfaced.

Since she had nothing better to do, she simply stretched out her slender fingers and gently, with a hint of vengeance, poked Yi Chen's slightly pale cheek.

The warm, soft touch on her fingertips made her heart race slightly, but she wouldn't let it go, lowering her voice and muttering something that sounded like an interrogation or a soliloquy:

"Hey, you idiot..."

"Speaking of which, why did you always choose to confess your love at the city gate, a place with lots of people and eyes, every single one of those hundred times? Hmm? You blockhead!"

He poked him again with his finger, as if punishing his "stupidity".

"besides……"

Yura's tone became even more frustrated, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

"Why did you have to confess to that Gunnhildr girl on the very night I decided... on the night I decided to go see you the next day... to say something? Were you in such a hurry? Couldn't you even wait a day?"

The more she spoke, the more suffocated she felt, and the pressure on her fingertips unconsciously increased slightly, as if she wanted to poke out all the regret and jealousy she felt from missing out.

"Clearly...clearly you said you liked short blue hair before..."

"And then..."

At this point, Yura paused, seemingly thinking it was a bit silly to argue with a comatose person, but she couldn't help but continue to "threaten".

"Hey, talk to me! Stop pretending to be asleep! If you don't speak... I'll really remember this grudge! For the rest of my life!"

As she spoke, she almost unconsciously continued to play with Yichen's face with her fingers, sometimes gently poking him, sometimes carefully smoothing his slightly furrowed brows, completely immersed in her own little world, unaware of the movement behind her.

"Ahem... um."

A very faint cough, tinged with obvious embarrassment, came from the direction of the door behind her.

Yura's body stiffened instantly!

She turned around abruptly, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.

The ward door was pushed open a crack at some point, and Qin was standing there, her face showing a mix of embarrassment and hesitation as she tried to leave. She had clearly seen Qin's "childish" actions and heard some "inappropriate" words.

When their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.

Yura's face flushed bright red instantly, all the way to her ears. She jumped up from the bedside as if she had been burned, standing there helplessly. Her usual aloofness and ease vanished without a trace.

"Qin... Commander Qin?!"

Her voice even changed tone.

Qin was clearly not expecting to witness such a scene, especially since she overheard things involving herself. She felt extremely embarrassed and quickly explained.

"I'm sorry, Yura. I... I just wanted to check on Yichen's situation, thinking that only Barbara or no one else was inside... I'll leave now."

As she spoke, Qin was about to back away and close the door.

"No, it's okay!"

Yura spoke hastily, her voice hurried with panic.

"I...I've finished reading! I was just about to leave! Please...please come in!"

She was almost incoherent, not daring to look Qin in the eye anymore. With her head down, like a frightened rabbit, she hurriedly slipped away from Qin and left the ward, forgetting even to say goodbye. Her back view was filled with the panic of social death.

Qin watched Yura's retreating figure, which was almost a hasty escape, and then looked at Yichen, who was still asleep on the hospital bed and had no idea what had just happened. She sighed helplessly and rubbed her temples.

What kind of mess is this...?
