Looking at the suddenly "Lisa" who had been corrupted and taken over by the eerie power, Su Yuan and Aether both realized that they had overlooked a very important detail…
That was—Lisa seemed to have a bit of an obsession when it came to her age, and how others addressed her…
But usually, everyone just called her by name, or "Sister Lisa."
No one would be so tactless as to call her "Aunt Lisa"…
Although Klee was still very young and pure-hearted, sometimes wanting to blurt out "Aunt Lisa," she always remembered the survival rules of the Knights of Favonius.
Every time, right after saying "Lisa A—," she would immediately correct herself and call her "Sister Lisa."
But this time, Klee hadn't managed to correct herself in time.
She directly let the words "Aunt Lisa" slip out, then realized her mistake, and hastily changed it to "Sister Lisa"…
Perhaps it was because she had seen Timaeus' bloody corpse and tragic remains—her young heart had been struck with terror and shock, leaving her mind blank and unresponsive—that she hadn't reacted quickly enough.
"Aether, who would have thought we'd witness two separate conditions for Lisa's eerie transformation in such a short time…" Su Yuan looked at Aether and couldn't help sighing.
"In this situation, what exactly are we supposed to do?" Aether furrowed his brows, looking troubled.
"Do we really just let Lisa kill Klee in order for her to recover from this eerie corruption?"
"How could we ever sacrifice Klee like that? She's just a child!" Eula immediately objected without hesitation.
"Besides, Lady Alice has shown kindness to Mondstadt and placed her trust in us by entrusting Klee to our care. If we can't protect Klee, how could we ever face Lady Alice?"
"I'll draw Lisa's attention! You all take Klee and leave at once!!"
"But Lisa is in an eerie state right now. Even if you're Eula, captain of the guerrilla squad and the Spindrift Knight of Mondstadt—how could you possibly stand against a Eerie Lisa?" Aether spoke with concern.
"Don't worry!" Eula showed a confident smile and said, "Didn't Su Yuan say it himself? Use the eerie… to fight the eerie!"
The next moment, Eula turned toward Lisa and called out:
"Grandma Lisa, you're already such an old woman—why can't you be a little more broad-minded? Why must you fuss over a little child like Klee?"
Her opening words instantly caught "Lisa's" attention, drawing her hostility fully onto herself…
But the price of using such offensive words was that "Lisa's" negative emotions grew even stronger, and the aura of eerie power around her became even denser.
Clearly, her corrupted strength had just risen another level…
Then Eula continued speaking:
"Grandma Lisa, if you want to bully Klee, that's nothing but the strong oppressing the weak, the big picking on the small. As the Spindrift Knight of the righteous Knights of Favonius, I strongly condemn your actions…"
"This grudge—I'll remember it!"
At the moment "Eula" finished speaking, the expression on her face began to twist and distort, and an aura of eerie power started radiating from her body as well…
But then, Su Yuan suddenly understood what had felt wrong from the very beginning!
Weren't the eerie beings within Mondstadt supposed to be "the Eerie of Freedom," whose entry into or release from Eerie state always had a certain delay in timing?
Yet just now, when Lisa entered or exited her Eerie state, there had been almost no delay at all…
And now, Eula, who should have experienced a delay before entering Eerie state, had transformed in an instant, without any delay whatsoever…
These Mondstadt Eerie truly embodied freedom—could it be that they even had the freedom to choose whether or not to activate that delay???
"Su Yuan, what are you still standing there for! Hurry and help me get Klee out of here—don't let Eula's sacrifice go to waste!!!"
At that moment, Su Yuan heard Aether's somewhat anxious voice in his ear.
He was already pulling along the still-confused Klee, preparing to leave the library…
Faced with Aether's urging, Su Yuan thought for a moment before answering:
"Aether, you and Paimon take Klee out of here!"
"I want to witness the outcome of the battle between Eula and Lisa, to see who wins and who loses!"
"Su Yuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Neither of them are ordinary people—if you're caught in the aftermath of their fight, you could very well die!!!"
Aether protested in confusion, but seeing Su Yuan's calm and confident expression, he ultimately fell silent, choosing not to press further.
"…Fine, Su Yuan. I'll trust you—I believe you have your own judgment and plan."
"I'll take Paimon and Klee out first. You be careful!"
Su Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief.
It seemed that Aether was rather understanding—he hadn't continued to stubbornly argue.
Of course, Su Yuan knew very well that the aftermath of the battle could sweep him up, even costing him his life.
But Su Yuan's true objective was precisely to die, in order to trigger his rewind ability!
The situation in Mondstadt had already begun to exceed his expectations and control…
No matter the outcome of the battle between "Lisa" and "Eula," no matter who perished, it would be a huge loss in Mondstadt's struggle against the Eerie!
Moreover, Su Yuan couldn't shake the feeling that ever since arriving in Mondstadt, his death-rewind ability itself had undergone some changes.
Why was it now as if things had returned to the very beginning—when he could rewind upon death without needing to consume additional rewinds?
In Su Yuan's current plan, he intended to use this death-rewind to uncover more of the hidden secrets…
As he thought this, his gaze returned to the battlefield.
"Eula" and "Lisa" stood locked in a tense standoff, sparks flying, the battle on the verge of erupting!
"What? Eula, what did you just call me? Did you call me grandma???"
At this moment, "Lisa" looked utterly enraged as she snarled:
"Do I look that old to you? It's already bad enough when people impolitely call me auntie—but you dare call me grandma???"
"Eula," however, was clearly on a completely different wavelength.
Raising her greatsword, she pointed it straight at "Lisa" and declared:
"A gentleman never forgets a grudge! I've long remembered the way you bullied Klee—and now it's time for revenge!!!"
In the next instant, "Eula" gripped her sword with both hands, spun with a graceful, dance-like motion, and launched the first attack!
"Glacial Illumination—sever the deepest grudges!!!"
