"Lumine!"
Seeing his sister appear here, Aether spoke up in great surprise, "I finally get to see you again. This time, don't just leave me so casually, alright?"
Although Su Yuan didn't know why Lumine had suddenly shown up, her next words only left him even more puzzled and shocked…
"Brother, when are you and Su Yuan getting married?"
Aether: ???
Su Yuan: ???
Both of them were dumbfounded.
What did Lumine mean by this—was she… shipping them together?
They had thought Lumine appeared to say something important, but what on earth was this outrageous line?
And after she finished speaking, Lumine frowned even more tightly, then tried again:
"No, you've misunderstood me. What I meant was—when are you going to have a child? If I have the time, I can help take care of them for you…"
Aether: ???
Su Yuan: ???
After blurting this out, Lumine furrowed her brows even harder.
She seemed a little speechless and embarrassed, covering her face with her hand as if she didn't know what to say…
Watching her strange behavior, Su Yuan and Aether couldn't help recalling some things from before, and then spoke:
"Lumine, is it that you want to tell us something, but what you're thinking in your heart and what comes out of your mouth are completely different?"
Facing this question, Lumine first nodded, then shook her head, and in the end, her head even kept turning up, down, left, and right—making it completely impossible to understand what she meant…
Seeing her reaction, the suspicions in Su Yuan and Aether's hearts were pretty much confirmed…
Lumine had indeed been placed under some kind of restriction—there were things she wanted to say but simply couldn't.
"Lumine, if you can't say it, then don't force yourself…" Aether said.
"Since you came here to find us, it must be for something important, right?"
"In that case, just do it directly. You don't need to explain anything—we'll believe in you!"
Su Yuan also nodded and said, "That's right, Lumine, you've helped me so much before. Just like Aether, I believe in you too!"
"Alright, brother. I'll kill you first, and then I'll kill Su Yuan." Lumine nodded and spoke.
Then, as if she had made some kind of firm decision, she drew her one-handed sword—and in an instant, sliced off Aether's head…
His head spun a few times in the air before landing on the ground, his face full of disbelief and shock…
The blood relative he had been searching for all this time, his most beloved sister—had actually killed him in one strike???
Perhaps Lumine had her own reasons…
Su Yuan stared at the scene blankly, watching Aether's body collapse into a pool of blood, his head separated, blood still gushing from his neck.
His mind was utterly blank, unable to process it…
What was going on?
Lumine actually killed Aether with a single strike?
Did the siblings have some sort of deep conflict?
Or had Lumine been corrupted and controlled by Eerie force?
But as Lumine slowly walked toward him, Su Yuan didn't sense even the slightest trace of Eerie power from her.
Instead, what he felt was her firm resolve to carry this out…
The next moment, Lumine swung her sword again—this time severing Su Yuan's head…
…
Su Yuan's eyes snapped open with a jolt, that same familiar and heart-pounding feeling surging through him once more…
Although the stabbing pain in the palm of his left hand was gone, he knew he had almost certainly experienced another death rewind…
Right now, Su Yuan felt flustered and at a loss.
Without the guidance from the mark in his left hand, how was he supposed to deal with what might happen next?
He thought, maybe if he went against his original plan, he could avoid what had happened last time!
Looking around, Su Yuan found himself back in the Knights of Favonius' conference room, sharing some intelligence he had just obtained today…
"What? The Venti you saw was actually a fake???"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked shocked…
Everyone except one person—Aether.
At this moment, Aether was also completely dumbfounded…
Everything that happened last time replayed vividly in his mind…
So it was true—Su Yuan really did have the power of death rewind…
But it seemed Su Yuan didn't actually retain memories through the rewinds.
Instead, he relied on the words carved into the palm of his left hand…
And now, that intelligence-hint ability in Su Yuan's palm had stopped working…
Yet this time, he himself had retained the memories of the previous cycle…
Only by working together with Su Yuan could they bring out the full potential of this ability and save more people…
Aether also recalled that in the last cycle, when he saw Lumine, she had seemed like she wanted to say something—but was restricted, unable to speak it aloud…
And then, his own sister had killed him…
Since Su Yuan's rewind ability was tied to death, could it be that his own memory-retaining ability was also linked to death?
Suddenly, Aether thought of a possibility…
Last time, Lumine had said she would kill him first, and then Su Yuan.
Could that have been some kind of hint?
Combined with the way his memory persisted after dead, Aether suddenly realized a common thread…
Every time he was able to keep his memories, it was when he had died before Su Yuan.
Then, when Su Yuan triggered the death rewind afterward, he would end up retaining those memories!
Although Aether was now almost certain of this guess, there was no time to dwell on it!
If they rushed to Mondstadt Cathedral right now, they should still be in time to get Rosaria to work overtime and save the sisters and wounded inside!
So Aether immediately stood up, grabbed Su Yuan, and ran out, speaking urgently: "Su Yuan, no time to explain—just follow me!"
Seeing Aether like this, Su Yuan felt a lot more reassured.
This was exactly the same way Aether had acted yesterday, when Klee was being overtaken by the Eerie!
Su Yuan finally let out a temporary sigh of relief.
Even though he no longer had the intelligence prompts from his palm, Aether could provide him with plenty of guidance and help, keeping him from running around blindly like a headless fly…
At this moment, both Su Yuan and Aether shared the same fundamental thought.
Their minds were united, and they believed that only by working together could they achieve the greatest effect and fight the Eerie with the highest efficiency!
