Chapter 94:

Kavi had no idea what Liuhuo was thinking, but he could tell she was a bit erratic...

Kavi: Although little Liuhuo... well, she's not an ordinary person, she's really strange today...

Kavi kept rambling, partly to cheer Liuhuo up: He had a high EQ, so even if he hadn't noticed right after returning home, how could he not have noticed after such a long meal?

But he also maintained a sufficient level of common sense: if he could have helped with the problem Xiao Liuhuo was facing, Xiao Liuhuo and Latio wouldn't be in this situation now.

He had also taken the time to help when Elhaisen was dealing with a textbook issue, and the more he looked into it, the more he realized that Mr. Latio was truly capable and truly practiced the principle of "knowledge should flow."

Even Elhaisen had only mentioned during their argument, "In terms of excessive sympathy, perhaps only Mr. Latio can compare to you," and he made no comment on Latio's own intellectual prowess.

Others might not know, but surely Kavey wouldn't know: Elhaisen wouldn't bother to observe anyone he disliked. For someone like Latio, with whom he'd only met a few times, Kavey wouldn't even have heard his name unless he was exceptionally talented.

...Not to mention comparing someone else's name to Kavey. Do

you think Elhaisen's excessive concern for Kavey stems from the fact that Kavey has been deceived so many times? No kidding, it's because Elhaisen doesn't see any flaws in Kavey.

Spending all his wealth, even going so far as to go into debt, for his ideals—Elhaisen never considered it a "mistake." Instead, it was the drunken slump at the Lambad's Tavern that made him want to bail them out that was more annoying. Well, this innocuous little issue improved after Liuhuo moved into the living room.

After all, Kavey couldn't just get drunk and act crazy in front of children.

Anyway—Latio, who had earned the approval of both Kavi and Elhaisen, felt the problem was thorny...

Kavi: "Let's ask about the details later... Maybe bring Sora over to discuss it? Maybe Little Auspicious Grass King would be willing to help too?

" But Kavi hadn't expected Liuhuo to ask without context, "Can I live too?"

"...?!" Kavi suspected his ears had misled him.

What does "can live" mean?!

Seventeen or eighteen awful events raced through his mind as Kavi abruptly stood up, his stool leg scraping against the floor. "What happened? Who threatened you?!"

He abandoned his usual polite distance and leaned over to Liuhuo, holding her hand, trying to offer some comfort. "Don't be afraid, we'll figure this out together..."

Liuhuo's attitude toward Kavi was surprisingly curious... How should I put it? It was like a human complaining to their cat about being exhausted from working overtime, and then the cat, filled with righteous indignation, threatened to beat up the boss...

To prevent the cat from actually beating up the boss... well, anyway, Liuhuo stroked Kavi's head, half-kneeling beside him, as if it were a cat, careful not to disturb his hairstyle. "No... I want... a reasonable... death..."

Liuhuo adjusted his words to the human: "Now... I want to exist longer."

He didn't fear 'death,' but 'death' was no longer the end he sought.

"Humanity too... will end..."

"But humans... don't embark on a 'path' for the sake of ending." "

To Him, the human time scale is like a mayfly that lives and dies in a day. Even humans, who are so short of life, are living day by day -

does He have much more time than humans to think about his own ending...?

Liuhuo couldn't help but look at Latio, who had been silent: "Vera... Can you live longer...?" "

..." No information could be read in Latio's eyes, "I will try my best. "

——Perhaps only the twisted spoon handle knew what happened.

That night, none of the humans present slept well.

Latio wanted to go to the inn as usual, but was invited (intercepted) by Elhaisen to rest for the night in the living room (on a spliced couch). Kavi tossed and turned in bed, wondering if he could get help from Fontaine and Liyue to figure out the situation.

Elhaisen? He was rarely idle. He applied to Nashida for temporary activation of the void terminal overnight. The next day, he got Tinari Seno, Cole brought by Tinari, and Sesos brought by Seno.

Oh, Nashida and Jizhao also appeared in the "Zen Garden"... Of course, Kong and Paimon cannot be forgotten.

Liuhuo only paid attention for two minutes at the beginning of the dinner, but after she was fed all kinds of things, her attention drifted to the sky again and she was completely empty.

Latio wasn't surprised by this scene, nor did he underestimate his friends' efforts. However, even he, who had been involved in virtually the entire process, couldn't understand Awei's motives. In his years of experience with him, even by human standards, Awei wasn't prone to self-destruction... and he was even a Star God. They couldn't possibly determine the starting point of his "survival."

Couldn't Star Gods have some terminal illness?

Latio also tried to question Liuhuo, but Liuhuo couldn't articulate the logic in human terms. Even the good-tempered Tinari was bewildered. "So what exactly is this 'some reason'? You can't just skip the question and find the answer..." He

was truly stuck.

Latio felt a little frustrated—Awei couldn't answer him, so where could he get the answer? It couldn't be Boshizun.

That decommissioned scepter system was a lesson learned before.

It wasn't that Latio was pessimistic, but the disparity in status between C'tan and humans was simply too great. Even a member of the Genius Club wouldn't confidently claim to be able to solve a problem that even C'tan struggled with, right?

But... Latio didn't give up just yet.

He felt... there had to be a reason why Lan had abandoned him and Ami to Teyvat.

That was Lan, though. Could you imagine him making that decision solely for 'hospice care for the little meteor'?

Impossible.

Even if the outcome was certain, he would fight to the bitter end.

"Hunting" was such a poignant and romantic destiny.

Of course, Latio knew he was probably just a convenient transfer, but that didn't stop him from thinking.

Besides… besides seeing Lan and Krippo earlier, the ship had also detected the fateful power of "harmony." Considering his location, he could only assume it was Hipper himself… With so many C'tans involved, he even suspected this matter was on the same level as the Universal Locust Plague…

Latio was certainly anxious, but there were certainly those more anxious than him—like a certain dark-skinned man who glanced at Omphalos but had his eye pierced by a data fragment.

If the human camp was still confused, still struggling to understand the problem, let alone the answer, then the C'tan camp was clearly divided.

Lan, of course, didn't hesitate: as long as Liuhuo still had any desire to live, Lan would not allow his kind to share him as a tonic. Even if Liuhuo hid in Lan's hair, Lan would scold Liuhuo for his indecency while taking him on a cosmic streetwalker.

Klipper is a conservative on this issue: He is willing to give Liuhuo enough time, and he has no opinion on who will swallow up the fate of "Liuluan" in the end.

Ahha is the one who doesn't care the most: no matter what the result is, it's fun to watch.

Fuli and Boshizun, two fates without "emotions", seem to be indifferent: if "Liuluan" explodes, they will also pick up some useful things. If it doesn't explode? Then wait for it to explode.

Hippe? To be honest, if "Liuluan" explodes, it will be the most beneficial to him. After all, there is really a large overlap with "Tongxie", but because of the friendly intersection in the past, he will not take the initiative.

Nanook is the one who really wants to take the initiative - but he can't find Liuhuo again.

To be honest, Nanook, the incarnation of entropy, feels no sense of disobedience when read as the unlucky guy. When he was still a human, he was tortured by the destruction equation of Adlifen, and then plowed by the Zerg again. It is likely that Adlifen was "destroyed". Wow, he himself was promoted to a Star God, but the result was "destruction". The antimatter army became the third public enemy of the universe after the locust plague and the Emperor War...

But Nanook, a career brain, did not completely think about taking shortcuts...

Well, okay, if you insist, Star Gods are all career brains - but when it comes to taking shortcuts, Nanook is not only thinking about it, but also putting it into practice.

That is to try to annex "flow".

Normally, entropy increase is irreversible.

But "flow" is not normal - He is the opposite of Tiangang.

He can really make the universe with increasing disorder "return" to the original ordered state.

From Nanook's perspective... what did he do wrong? The only mistake is that he did not succeed.

And what He wants to do is very simple: find "flow" again and swallow up His destiny.

A certain fellow who is going against time is still muttering, and by the way, he passes a cheat sheet to his fellow jellyfish head, asking him to put another layer of camouflage on the outside of the Teyvat eggshell.

Myth: Wasn't the last person who was leaked the question a certain "Order" Taichi...?

The Star Core Hunter praised the behavior of his immediate boss: No matter what the situation is, who wants to go against the "destruction" that swallowed up the "flow" destiny? That belongs to the BE line, and no one wants to try it!

And the wandering Liuhuo unexpectedly heard a sentence from Kavi:

"It can't be that she owes Mora and the creditor comes to her door!"

... This... gave Him some strange inspiration.

After all, His mixed destiny... can indeed be likened to 'financing'.

Then there must be a better way to deal with His 'investors' than 'repaying'.
