Chapter 321 Suspicion
"Hey, hey, why do you say this in such a casual tone? Do you know what you just said?"
Gu Sanqiu was dumbfounded, because Albedo's tone was similar to "I went out and ate soy milk and fried dough sticks today", which means he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
"Well, as someone who lives in Mondstadt, I should have great respect for the God of Wind."
Albedo hesitated: "But I had a brief exchange of one or two words with him, and it really made me feel that I had no respect for him at all."
"Whether it was because his tone at the time was like he was talking to a child, or because of his temperament, I'm not really sure."
"If he hadn't knocked me unconscious, I would have been able to analyze more information if we had exchanged words."
…
Don't analyze it, it's definitely because of your temperament!
Think about Tevarin’s “heartbroken” roar and Wendy’s “Eh hey” when he tried to get away with it.
My evaluation is - there is no dignity at all.
"Then do you know what happened later?"
Gu Sanqiu was indeed curious about why Wendy suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. If it was just because the noise was a little loud when they were fighting, it really didn't make sense.
"Could it be because of me?"
Gu Sanqiu seemed to be thinking about something. Even Uncle Ruota couldn't find out the black power. If there was anyone who could sense the danger of that thing, then Wendy might be the one.
Albedo looked at Gu Sanqiu: "That's what I judged too. After you used your desperate trump card, you gave me the feeling that you were a completely different person."
"Be more specific."
"I have dissected, or rather studied, some of the guys in the treasure-stealing groups who were considered to be murderous. Before they were captured, their fighting spirit and murderous aura were not as oppressive as the one you brought to me."
"They've killed people like crazy. If you have to strictly count, it seems that they really can't compare with me. What you said is not very convincing."
Gu Sanqiu smiled awkwardly. He had indeed killed quite a few people.
"Then let me put it another way."
Albedo said in a serious tone: "This power of yours does not seem to belong to this era."
“I’m interested in this.”
Finally, there was a guy who could see something . He was afraid of causing any impact on the Fulong Tree, so he didn't dare to do anything rash, and he didn't have the idea of letting the other party actually feel the changes.
"It doesn't belong to this era. I can't really say what era it is from. I can only sense an ancient or stale aura from your power, like rotten wood that has been left for too long."
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "I'll be honest with you, this thing was stimulated from my body. In a sense, it belongs to my body. Something like rotten wood should have nothing to do with the body of a young man like me."
I am not a young person who over-consumes energy and has to do a lot of exercise every night. How can a word like "rotten wood" which sounds like something related to premature aging be associated with me?
Albedo paused, then he remembered that the guy in front of him was only in his early twenties, and he almost misjudged his age because of the other party's strength.
"I have a way, but I may need your cooperation, and you also need to go back to my laboratory. I can help you test your physical condition. This part requires data support. Even if I test you now, I can't give you a comparative result."
"That's no problem. Shall we go now?"
Albedo thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. We should show some basic respect to the medical staff. I will prepare some medicine for you. You can stay here for another day before being discharged."
"You're talking as if my injuries can be healed by staying one more day. What's the difference between your behavior and the four words 'covering one's ears and stealing a bell'?"
Gu Sanqiu was too lazy to complain about Albedo's behavior.
…
"Sit tight, this is the last step of the test."
Albedo held a clipboard and wrote: "Sugar, has the data been fully entered into the magic circle?"
"It's done, Sensei."
Gu Sanqiu was sitting in the golden magic circle set up by Albedo, calmly applying freshly made medicine to his wounds. If these scars on his body were not treated, their performance would be affected.
The magic circle lit up, and a trace of cool air penetrated into Gu Sanqiu's body, circulated around, and then floated out and entered the gems at the edge of the formation.
The gems lit up one by one, and Gu Sanqiu turned his head to look at the gem closest to him.
"What does this mean?"
"All the data I have here is in these gems, and they are stored according to different types."
Albedo placed the clipboard on the workbench at the side.
"All the gems are lit up, which means that after comparing all the data I detected with the saved data, I found nothing special. Your body is normal compared to people of the same age."
Gu Sanqiu walked out of the formation: "Does this mean that nothing was found in this test?"
“You could say that.”
Albedo nodded: "If you want to investigate further, you can only start from the soul. However, this involves the greatest secret of the human body. I believe you will not let anyone do this easily. I don't have any means to accurately detect it."
"Then according to the concepts of you intellectuals, what would it generally mean if a young person's body conveyed the feeling of rotten wood?"
"Well, problems like overindulgence and severe loss of energy will give rise to this feeling, but from our battle I can sense that you don't have this kind of problem."
There was a hint of curiosity in Albedo's eyes: "Your physical condition is indeed very interesting."
"If that's the case, forget it. I'll go back and figure it out myself."
Gu Sanqiu put on his clothes and said, "Will you come to the Angel's Gift for a drink in a couple of days? Or the Cat's Tail Tavern will also be fine."
"Forget it. If nothing unexpected happens in a few days, I will lead the team to the secret realm for the trial. I don't have the time."
Albedo handed the data on the recording board to Gu Sanqiu: "In addition to the task of leading the team in the trial, I also need to calculate and deduce the data on the environment and other aspects over there, so I can't leave."
"Then let's make an appointment another day."
Gu Sanqiu left Albedo's experimental area and after several twists and turns came to the big tree in Fengqidi. He stared at the plant with a huge root system in a daze.
The wind crystal butterflies seemed to sense the aura emanating from Gu Sanqiu, and they all flew to Gu Sanqiu happily, with two even landing on his ears.
"Okay, okay, go play."
A ball of pure wind elemental power without any breath of law gathered in his hand , and Gu Sanqiu threw it out lightly, attracting the wind crystal butterflies to chase after it.
"Brand new body, rotten soul?"
His soul had taken over Gu Sanqiu's body. After resolving the great vengeance of the Sanxuan Society, he used the elixir in the golden finger to rebuild his body.
In principle, one's soul is still the same and the body is brand new, so this problem shouldn't exist.
"Is it that I have this problem from the beginning, or am I... someone's reincarnation?"
"For example, God Gu?"
