The rest of the day quickly passed.
After having dinner with Aether, Su Yuan returned to his room.
He washed up briefly, then lay down on the bed…
Today had been a full and exhausting day—running around nonstop, visiting Windrise, Stormterror's Lair, and Starsnatch Cliff.
Although some matters were resolved, he had also learned unsettling news…
Had the Anemo Archon, Barbator, really been eaten by Dvalin?
Was he truly dead?
And the killer who suddenly appeared in Mondstadt, controlled by Eerie state—was it really Jean?
And that indescribable sense of strangeness… what exactly was it pointing to?
Thinking about all this, Su Yuan eventually drifted into sleep…
…
The next morning, sunlight streamed into Su Yuan's room.
Feeling its warmth, he slowly opened his eyes.
Sensing the sting in the palm of his right hand, Su Yuan knew that the day's intelligence prompt had arrived!
Hopefully today's prompt would answer more of his questions…
He raised his right hand and looked at his palm:
[First of all, congratulations on surviving the twenty-first night.]
[Currently available intelligence]
[Skipped…]
[61. Up to this point, there is no record of Acting Grand Master Jean being corrupted by Eerie force.]
Reading the first piece of intel, Su Yuan couldn't help but frown…
What did this mean?
If Jean had never been corrupted, then the mysterious killer in Mondstadt yesterday wasn't her at all?
Did this mean that even after Mona performed divination three times in a row, she still failed?
But if that was the case, then who was the real murderer?
With these doubts in mind, Su Yuan continued reading:
[62. When speaking with the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, Fischl, you must follow her tone and logic. Otherwise, bad things will happen.]
Looking at this piece of intelligence, Su Yuan realized that since Fischl was mentioned here, it probably meant he was very likely to encounter her today.
As for the hint regarding Fischl's Eerie condition, it was easy to understand—basically, he just needed to role-play with Fischl and go along with her "chuunibyou" antics.
As long as he gave everyone a heads-up not to speak to her normally, there shouldn't be any problems.
Su Yuan nodded and continued reading:
[63. The Anemo Archon's throne has been destroyed, so naturally, this world no longer has Barbatos, the Anemo Archon.]
Su Yuan frowned at this final intelligence prompt.
What did it mean?
When was the Anemo Archon's throne destroyed, and by whom?
Why did it seem like destroying the Archons' thrones had become a trend, whether in Fontaine, Liyue, or now Mondstadt?
Back during the Archon War, they had fought tooth and nail just to secure one of the Seven Sovereigns' seats, and now these positions were being destroyed one by one—no longer needed?
But soon, Su Yuan considered another possibility: maybe this intelligence prompt meant that Venti had deliberately let Dvalin eat him, essentially dying on purpose, in order to lure Eerie Dvalin into destroying the Anemo Archon's throne.
If that were the case, Venti might now be faking his death, following the same idea as Morax…
However, Mona's divination had indicated that Venti was already dead.
Then Su Yuan thought again: if Mona's divination about Jean being the Eerie killer had been wrong, could her reading that Venti was dead also be mistaken?
Su Yuan nodded, deciding he definitely needed to go verify this with Mona today, and continued reading:
[Special Intelligence: You have obtained a special and powerful ability. You can consume one use of your "death rewind" to view a person's Eerie condition. This effect can only be used once per day.]
Su Yuan looked at this special intelligence with excitement.
This was a great ability—truly useful!
Sometimes, even after using a death rewind, he couldn't figure out a person's Eerie condition… but now, by spending a single rewind, he could clearly determine it!
However, he still had some concerns.
Although this ability seemed powerful and useful, the key issue was that his number of daily rewinds was a random number between 0 and 9.
If today he only had one rewind available, then using this ability would leave him with no rewind left as a safety net—essentially leaving him completely exposed.
Also, if today he had zero "death rewind" uses left, would using this ability reduce his rewind count to negative one? Or would he die immediately?
In short, although this ability was extremely powerful and convenient, Su Yuan still didn't dare to use it recklessly…
He continued reading, and the rest was mostly formalities:
[Special Intelligence: You have gained additional rewind uses: 0]
[Currently available rewind uses: 2.2]
[64. After surviving the twenty-second night, new intelligence will be unlocked]
After briefly washing his face and brushing his teeth, Su Yuan left his room.
Not long after leaving, he encountered a worried-looking Acting Grand Master Jean.
Seeing Su Yuan, she immediately spoke with concern: "Su Yuan, something's wrong!"
"Last night in Mondstadt, several more people were killed by Eerie power…"
"And last night Barbara was with me the whole time. I didn't experience any abnormalities, nor did I leave my room…"
"The killer controlled by Eerie corruption is definitely not me!"
"Acting Grand Master Jean, I'm already aware of the situation," Su Yuan replied.
"Mona's divination might have been influenced by Eerie power, causing an incorrect judgment…"
"But now, please gather everyone together. I have some newly obtained intelligence I want to share with all of you."
Jean then gathered many people into the Knights of Favonius meeting room, and Su Yuan shared the intelligence he had acquired today with everyone present.
After listening to Su Yuan, Lisa spoke up, somewhat puzzled:
"Su Yuan, if your speculation is correct, and Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, isn't dead, then doesn't that mean Mona's divination results from the three consecutive readings were all wrong?"
"Whether it was divining Barbatos's survival or determining if Acting Grand Master Jean was the mysterious killer…"
"Is it possible that Mona intentionally gave you the wrong divination results? After all, you can't fully understand the information on her hydro divination disk!"
