"Su Yuan! Why are you still standing there? Run!!!"
Neuvillette nearly shouted these words, instantly snapping Su Yuan out of his daze!
The next moment, Su Yuan ran towards the office door without looking back!
Drip... drip... drip...
Raindrops fell on the roof tiles of the Palais Mermonia, making a crisp sound...
"Neuvillette" slowly stood up, his head tilted at a ninety-degree angle, showing an eerie smile...
"Mortal... where do you think you're going? Hehehe..."
Su Yuan dared not look back, running forward desperately.
Suddenly, he saw a staircase going down ahead, but he remembered the warning in his palm—never take the stairs...
This path was a dead end!
Su Yuan immediately turned around and ran in another direction...
Indeed, the game was just a game.
The real Palais Mermonia in this world was far larger than the one in the game, and Su Yuan couldn't find his way at all...
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Su Yuan couldn't tell if it was just his nerves playing tricks on him, but he seemed to hear heavy footsteps—those were definitely Neuvillette's, and they were getting closer!
But… he wasn't familiar with the Palais Mermonia at all.
Running blindly inside was like being a turtle caught in a jar!
He had to get to an open area!
But if the stairs were off-limits, where was the elevator?
Su Yuan grew more anxious, feeling that Neuvillette was getting closer and closer...
"Damn it! I have no choice!"
Su Yuan spotted a window nearby, immediately opened it, and climbed through...
This is my escape route, Neuvillette!!!
However, Su Yuan overestimated his balance and the grip of his shoes...
Since it was raining outside, the tiles on the Palais Mermonia roof were quite slippery.
Su Yuan wasn't careful, and he slipped, rolling down the roof with a loud thud...
As Su Yuan rolled, he felt the world spinning around him, his head dizzy and his vision blurred.
Soon, he was no longer rolling but falling rapidly, feeling a sense of weightlessness.
He thought to himself, "Am I really going to die like this?"
However, Su Yuan was lucky.
Below him, there were some shrubs used for decoration outside the Palais Mermonia, which provided a substantial amount of cushioning.
Though Su Yuan crashed painfully into the ground, his body bruised and scratched in several places, his bones were intact, and he didn't appear to be seriously injured.
Gasping for breath, Su Yuan thought to himself, "Am I really the chosen one?"
No matter what, what Su Yuan needed to do now was to quickly hide and avoid being discovered by "Neuvillette."
"Hey! Guard team! Shadow Court! Hurry over here! Someone just fell from the top of Palais Mermonia!"
Hearing this shout, Su Yuan's body trembled in fear.
"Don't expose my location to 'Neuvillette'!"
Not taking a moment to ease his pain, Su Yuan knew he couldn't just sit there and wait for his fate.
He had no choice but to get up and keep running.
"Hmm? Why is this person running on his own? Why won't he accept our help and treatment? Could he be from a Treasure Hoarder group, trying to rob Palais Mermonia?"
"In that case, we definitely need the guard team and Shadow Court to come check it out!"
"Guard team! Shadow Court! Hurry up! There's a thief trying to escape!"
Su Yuan felt like crying, wanting to explain but not daring to stop.
Who knows where "Neuvillette" might appear...
And so, many of the people of Fontaine witnessed this scene:
A figure was running frantically in the rain, with many of the guard team's automated units and the Shadow Court's Melusine chasing after him, turning the Fontaine city district into a dramatic chase scene...
Su Yuan didn't realize that pushing himself could unleash so much potential...
Back during the university physical exam, running a thousand meters left him exhausted like a dead pig or dog...
If I had this kind of speed now, wouldn't it be easy to get a perfect score!
Before the rain stopped, Su Yuan had to keep running.
Being caught by the guard team or the Shadow Court would be bad enough, but being caught by "Neuvillette" would mean the end!
Su Yuan kept running, continuously praying in his heart for the rain to stop as soon as possible!
However, when he reached a corner, a hand suddenly reached out from an alley and pulled him inside...
"Bro, you look pretty new! Which branch of the Treasure Hoarder group are you from?" A person wearing a mask said to Su Yuan in the alley.
"Your speed is even faster than our branch's speedy Viss!"
Su Yuan was panting heavily.
What was going on? Did he think he was part of a Treasure Hoarder group?
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Aji, and I'm with the Fontaine Beryl Region branch of the Teyvat Treasure Hoarder Group!"
"Bro, you're really bold! The laws of Fontaine are strict, and the security forces are very strong. How dare you stir up so many members of the guard team and the Shadow Court in Fontaine's city district..."
"Don't worry, I'm the best at hiding. Just follow my lead, and I'll make sure we shake off this group of people!"
Su Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, thank you..."
Although he was misunderstood as a member of the Treasure Hoarder group, if this person could help him escape from the pursuers and get away from Neuvillette, that would be great!
However, he had to clarify that this wasn't an endorsement of the Treasure Hoarder group, nor was it an alliance with them, but rather a strategic collaboration for emergency evasion!
"Heh, haha... That's great... Finally, someone is willing to let me help them hide..."
"Aji" suddenly laughed, and his laughter was high-pitched, giving Su Yuan a sense of foreboding...
The next moment, to Su Yuan's horror, "Aji's" eye sockets began to sink in, and red liquid began to flow out...
Every one of his fingers turned into sharp blades...
His nose was no longer a nose but a long, sharp needle-like tube, like a mosquito's stinger...
"Aji" removed his mask and licked the sharp blade on his fingers with his long tongue...
"Do you know?"
"The people I helped hide..."
"None of them have been found yet!"
"So, with my guidance and help, you will definitely not be discovered by the Guard or the Shadow Court!"
"I will drain all the blood from your body and inject it into the sewers of Fontaine because your blood is tainted..."
"I will gouge out your eyeballs and place them on the highest tree at the peak of Mont Esus in Fontaine, so you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset before anyone else..."
"I will bury your heart in the soft soil of White Pine Town, hoping that one day it will take root and sprout..."
"I will throw your liver and lungs into the deepest part of the Elton Trench in Fontaine, so the fish can enjoy your delicious flesh..."
"I will pickle and air-dry your limbs to turn them into fragrant hams, offering them to the Oceanid of the Fountain of Lucine..."
"I will turn your brain into a delicious almond tofu and send it to the cute animals on the Autumn Mont Automnequi for them to taste..."
"Every part of your body could end up in every corner of Fontaine, whether it's day or night, the earth or the sea..."
Su Yuan looked at the strange and terrifying scene and realized that this "Aji" was probably also corrupted by something eerie...
Right now, he was nothing more than a mad, perverted serial killer who dismembered people!
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yuan turned and ran...
But the next moment, all he heard was the sound of a blade slicing through flesh, and Su Yuan felt a chill in his feet, instantly losing his balance!
"Ah!!!" Su Yuan cried out in pain as he fell to the ground.
His feet were severed at the ankles, and blood poured out...
"Why did you run..."
"Didn't we agree..."
"Let me help you hide..."
