Chapter 412: Ch 412 : The body, hair, and skin are all given by one’s parents
Su Yuan couldn’t quite understand — why would Gaming smile like that, even after being struck down and slashed?
But in the next moment, under Su Yuan’s slightly shocked gaze, a burst of Eerie power suddenly erupted from Gaming’s body, and he stood up in an unnaturally twisted posture...
Seeing the now Eerie state "Gaming," Su Yuan was dumbfounded.
What was going on with Gaming?
He got slashed once and then entered an Eerie state?
But... wasn’t his condition for becoming Eerie supposed to be that something he was protecting had to be harmed?
Everyone here was still fine — so how did he end up triggering the transformation on his own?
"The body, hair, and skin are all given by one’s parents — how could I dare let them be harmed?"
"Gaming" panted heavily as he spoke, word by word:
"I clearly promised my father... that I would take care of myself out in the world, be mindful of my body, and protect my own life..."
"Yanxiao — how dare you lay a hand on me?!"
As Gaming’s words echoed through the room, everyone present instantly understood...
So that was it — Gaming had made a pact with his father to protect himself.
Which meant, the moment he was harmed, it would automatically trigger his Eerie transformation...
And thinking back now, it was likely that everything Gaming had just said was deliberately intended to provoke Yanxiao into attacking him — which was why he had emphasized it so seriously...
Su Yuan was at a loss for words.
Gaming really was putting everything on the line — he had actually gambled his life just to protect them...
What if that slash from "Yanxiao" just now had cut Gaming clean in half... or struck him right in the head, killing him in an instant — then what would they have done?
Still, at this moment, Su Yuan felt a slight sense of being moved deep down...
It must’ve been after that battle on Mt. Aocang that Gaming realized his Eerie state hadn’t contributed much.
So when he returned, he must’ve specifically trained for it — and even devised a new trigger condition based on the rules of Eerie...
"Su Yuan, who do you think will win — Gaming or Yanxiao?" At that moment, Aether asked from beside him.
"...Probably Gaming," Su Yuan replied after thinking it over briefly.
"Even though Yanxiao has better physical ability, and more experience from the past than Gaming..."
"But while Gaming may fall short in that regard, the fact that he’s a Vision bearer just happens to compensate for it."
"Besides, Gaming is a guard of the Sword Box Escort Agency. To earn such renown across Liyue in this line of work — even at his young age — shows he clearly has his own methods and strengths."
After hearing Su Yuan’s analysis, Aether didn’t say anything more.
Instead, he turned his gaze — alongside Su Yuan — to the battle between "Gaming" and "Yanxiao"...
Facing the suddenly Eerie state "Gaming," "Yanxiao" wore a heavy expression — but then, he did something that left everyone utterly stunned.
"Yanxiao"... actually had no intention of fighting at all — he turned and ran away on the spot!!!
"Hahaha! In the end, I’m going to be the winner!! You can all stay here as criminals with unforgivable sins! Hahaha!!!"
Listening to Yanxiao’s strange, nonsensical shouts and watching him flee, Su Yuan was more convinced than ever — something was definitely off about this Eerie version of Yanxiao...
Normally, when two Eerie beings confront each other, they should strictly follow the rules and clash — neither yielding to the other, right?
So what kind of Eerie turns tail and runs before the fight even begins?!
Moreover, "Yanxiao’s" behavior now seemed just like a pre-set program — as soon as he saw someone truly in an Eerie state, he immediately fled...
Could it be that "Yanxiao" really was one of those externally triggered, incomplete Eerie state— controlled by someone else?
Even though "Yanxiao" tried to escape the moment things went south, how could he possibly outrun the Eerie "Gaming"?
In the next instant, a surge of powerful Eerie energy erupted from "Gaming," lashing out toward "Yanxiao" in an attempt to suppress his movements.
"Yanxiao" also released waves of Eerie power from his body, trying to counteract Gaming’s overwhelming aura...
But the difference in their strength was simply too great — Yanxiao’s resistance was ultimately futile.
"Gaming" picked up a kitchen cleaver from the chopping board, slowly walked over to the immobilized "Yanxiao," and, without hesitation, plunged the blade straight into his chest!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
Blood sprayed everywhere, and Yanxiao let out a blood-curdling scream of pain...
"Does it hurt? Then cry out!"
Gaming said coldly:
"Hahaha... You know what this is? This is what they call: ’Give him a taste of his own medicine!!’"
Under the crushing pressure of Gaming’s Eerie power, the aura surrounding Yanxiao grew weaker and weaker — until it finally dissipated completely...
In that moment, Yanxiao’s expression returned to normal.
Feeling the agonizing pain from the wound in his chest, he stared at the scene before him with disbelief, confusion, and fear.
Trembling, he asked:
"What’s going on??? What... what just happened???"
Seeing this, Su Yuan thought to himself: So it’s true.
Yanxiao really was being controlled — a case of externally induced, incomplete Eerie state.
He immediately shouted, "Gaming! That’s enough — stop!!"
However, how could the Eerie "Gaming" possibly listen to Su Yuan’s words now?
With a blank, frenzied look, Gaming raised the kitchen cleaver high in the air — and as Yanxiao looked up in shock, panic, and horror...
The blade came down hard, cleaving directly into Yanxiao’s forehead!
Blood and brain matter splattered violently as Yanxiao collapsed into a pool of his own blood...
And in the moment Yanxiao died — Gaming, too, finally returned from his Eerie state.
Su Yuan thought to himself — it seemed that Gaming’s Eerie transformation was essentially the same as Clorinde’s...
Only when the targeted individual died completely could he return to normal from the Eerie state.
He glanced again at Xiao, who was still unconscious nearby, showing no signs of waking up...
And considering that Yanxiao was an externally controlled, incomplete Eerie transformation, the true mastermind behind the chaos at Wangshu Inn was likely someone else entirely...
"It’s over..."
Looking at Yanxiao lying in a pool of blood before him, Gaming let out a quiet sigh.
"The method I devised earlier — to use my own Eerie transformation — ended up working after all..."
"It’s just a pity... from now on, when I pass by Wangshu Inn with my fellow guards from the Sword Box Escort Agency... we’ll never again get to eat Uncle Yanxiao’s cooking..."
