Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"That's true... It's a pity that alchemy isn't a panacea, and I don't know much about mechanics either, otherwise I might be able to make a short-range communicator, which would make communication much easier."

Jiang Bai took out the pointer of the Four Directions Mirror, "Want one? It'll be easier for me to find you later."

"I am a product of alchemy, this is useless to me."

"Ok."

Abedo handed him a cup of hot tea, and Jiang Bai took a sip, immediately feeling much warmer.

"Speaking of which, I just ran into your brother."

"My brother?" Abedo asked, puzzled.

"It should be Dulin."

When someone says something like "I have a friend," they usually mean themselves.

Considering his unusual behavior and his relationship with Aberdo, it's not difficult to guess his identity.

"Dulin? Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

Aberdo frowned slightly; Jiang Bai's words contained far too much information.

Jiang Bai found a chair and sat down, warming his somewhat cold hands in front of the fire.

"I don't know if he has been resurrected, but he definitely exists, you can touch him, and you can drink alcohol."

"I met him at Dulin's heart. He looked like you, but he only imitated the form. I'm not sure if he knew me, since he seemed to be in a bad mood and was somewhat indifferent. He also never called me by name."

"I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I didn't think much of it. But after talking to you for a while, I realized that it wasn't you."

Abedo is a very elegant and detail-oriented person. He doesn't gulp down his drinks and choke on them, nor does he ignore spilled drinks on himself...

Even if you're in a bad mood, these ingrained habits won't change overnight.

Most importantly, he wouldn't treat his friends so coldly.

Especially Jiang Bai, his close friend.

Jiang Bai recounted his conversation with the fake Abedo, which left Abedo deep in thought.

"It must be Dulin."

Aberdo gave a relatively affirmative answer.

“I knew he wouldn’t really die so easily, but I never expected his consciousness to continue…”

"Has it always existed? Is there a possibility of it suddenly coming back to life?"

If he has always existed, has he appeared before? Or did he just awaken recently?

"I don't know, we might only know after we meet him in person."

Abedo sighed, "Master did not create them for destruction, but many things do not go as planned."

As Dulin himself said, he came to Mondstadt with no ill intentions, but he unknowingly brought destruction upon himself.

Many things don't go as planned, and no one knows the final outcome before it even begins.

"Should we go look for him? I don't know if he's gone or not."

"Go ahead, the snow mountain is so big, it won't be so easy to find him next time."

Jiang Bai nodded, drank the hot tea in one gulp, wrapped his cloak tighter, put on his hat, and led Abedo to the cave he had come from.

Unfortunately, they arrived a little too late, and the cave was already deserted, with only the embers of charcoal glowing in the fire.

Jiang Bai looked at the broken glass bottle and the bloodstains on the ground, not quite sure what had happened.

"Is there anything we can glean from the blood?"

Abedo collected a small amount of frozen blood and used alchemy to sense it.

"It's very similar to human blood, but there are elemental fluctuations escaping from it."

Abedo collected all of this blood.

The equipment here is insufficient for research.

Once we return to the lab, we may be able to explore what kind of life form Dulin is now.

"The footprints in the snow haven't been covered yet. Let's follow the footprints and see if we can find them."

"Row."

On a mountain path a little distance from the two, the fake Abedo walked alone in a pristine white world.

He had no destination; he just wandered around aimlessly.

He had seen the surrounding scenery countless times, and it no longer held any novelty for him.

After seeing the magnificent snowscape from above, these ordinary snowscapes no longer seem so amazing.

He wasn't sure if he was Dulin or not.

Rather than saying he is Dulin, it would be more accurate to say that he is a product of the fusion of Dulin's consciousness and the chaotic ley lines of the snow mountain.

He didn't know the meaning of his existence; it seemed as if his appearance was meaningless to the world.

He was so jealous of Abedo that he was going crazy with jealousy.

Why? Why should he be hated and die in the freezing cold?

Why? Why should Aberdo, as a child of the same mother, be entitled to all that?

Jealousy and destructive thoughts flowed through his mind shortly after he regained consciousness.

Since I don't have a good life, then you can forget about having one either!

So he became like Aberdo.

He planned to cause some destruction, kill some of his friends, and make himself equally hated by the world.

But before the plan even began, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He was very confused.

If even destruction is impossible, then what is the point of its reappearance?

That person said he could leave, find a place where no one knew him, live a good life, and start over.

But can he really have a new life?

He was afraid, he was terrified, he was fearful.

Yet, there is also anticipation, longing, and yearning.

Chapter 586 I'll Adventure with You

No! I can't let this go! If I run into anyone who knows Aberdo again, I must…

must……

What exactly is required?

He became uncertain.

He was wandering aimlessly when suddenly a cry for help reached his ears.

"Help! Help!"

He followed the sound and found a boy trapped in a collapsed snow cave.

The snow cave was seven or eight meters deep, and the surrounding area was all smooth ice and snow, making it impossible to find any foothold.

The boy was trapped at the bottom and kept calling out.

He stood at the edge of the cave, looking down at the people below with a blank expression.

"Great, finally someone's here! Can you save me?"

Bennett at the bottom of the cave was unusually excited.

It was just bad luck.

He came to the snow mountain to explore with great excitement, but he accidentally slipped and fell, tearing his warm clothes with tree branches.

Then, while trying to avoid a huge falling rock, he lost the ice pick.

Chased by a swarm of ice fireflies, after finally shaking them off, I accidentally stepped on soft snow and fell into this pit.

He originally intended to use fire to melt steps on the ice and climb up.

As a result, their efforts backfired, and they sank deeper and deeper into trouble.

If no one comes soon, he'll have to spend the night here.

It was absolutely tragic.

"Why should I save you?" Dulin's tone was unusually cold.

Bennett paused for a moment, then scratched his head anxiously.

"I will pay you!"

"Compensation? I don't need it."

"Then, what do you want?"

Dulin thought about it seriously for a moment.

"Answer me a question."

Upon hearing this, Bennett immediately beamed with joy. "No problem, go ahead and ask!"

I could answer ten questions without a problem, let alone one!

Dulin looked at the adventurer, who was covered in wounds and looked extremely disheveled, and asked:

"What is the meaning of life for you?"

When asked this question suddenly, Bennett was a little bewildered.

What is the meaning of life?

"The meaning of life is simply to live."

"Although I'm very unlucky and always encounter all sorts of unfortunate things, I twist my ankle while walking, get hit by a rock while sitting down, find a treasure chest that I finally find but it's empty, break my pot while cooking, and either break the tableware or find stones in my food while eating..."

Bennett recounted his ordinary experiences in a very casual tone.

He didn't feel sad at all; on the contrary, his tone was full of love for life.

"Although many unfortunate things happen every day while I'm alive, I still want to live."

"Only by living can I go on adventures, explore all sorts of secret realms, take care of my fathers, and meet my friends..."

"So, living is the meaning of my life!"

Bennett gave a thumbs-up to the sky.

Even though there was no sun, Dulin had the feeling that he had seen the sun.

He truly never expected that anyone could be so unlucky.

He could tell that the person in front of him was not lying.

His disheveled appearance, along with the various wounds and bandages on his body, proved that he was frequently unlucky and injured.

Even so, should we choose to live?

In that instant, he seemed to be touched.

Yes, since we're alive, let's live well.

Only by living can he have the friends he desires, a beautiful world, and a brand new life.

With a wave of his hand, Dulin sent an icicle rising from Bennett's feet and bringing him to the ground.

Bennett was overjoyed to be back on the ground.

"Thank you so much! My name is Bennett, what's yours?"

"I?"

Aberdo lowered his gaze.
