Chapter 190: How to activate the evil eye
"No, it's rare for me to be awake at this time. If you leave, do you want me to go back to sleep alone?"
Tartaglia looked at Gu Sanqiu expressionlessly.
"Why, do you usually have someone to stay with you when you sleep? Do you need me to call two people who can do this for you?"
"That's totally unnecessary. Ordinary people can't enter my house at night."
Gu Sanqiu spoke the truth: "Also, aren't you curious about what your colleague wrote in his reply to me?"
"To be honest, I'm very curious. I've been wondering what secret codes are in your stories that I don't know."
Yaya also spoke the truth: "However, I don't really understand the Doctor's train of thought. Perhaps this is a way of communication that only you psychopaths can understand?"
"Hey, who are you calling a psychopath? I'm a normal person, okay?"
Gu Sanqiu decided to justify his mental state: "When do you think I'm abnormal?"
"Please be more confident in yourself, or in other words, please have a normal psychological estimate of your own state. When have you ever been normal?"
Yaya patted Gu Sanqiu on the shoulder and said, "Let's get going quickly. Maybe I can catch up on some sleep after I finish this."
"Haha, I guarantee that it will stimulate you so much that you won't be able to sleep at night."
"You didn't prepare some weird dancer group in the suburbs to surprise me, did you? By the way, today is not my birthday."
"Uh, do you like this tune?"
"No, I don't."
"Oh, that's no problem actually. Even if you like a male dancer group, I can put one together and dance for you."
"Thank you."
The two of them bickered as they walked, which was not too difficult given their extraordinary lung capacity.
"We're almost there, right? We're already a long way from Tianheng Mountain, and we haven't been discovered by the Qianyan Army along the way. What exactly do you want me to see?"
"Please read this letter first."
Gu Sanqiu handed the letter written to him by the doctor to Tartaglia.
"My friend? Humph, it's really not easy for him to write such a title, for that 'doctor'."
Tartaglia sneered, then continued reading. Within two minutes, his expression became serious. He then looked up at Gu Sanqiu, who was holding a mint in his mouth and looked like he was doing nothing.
"He gave you the evil eye?"
"Let me correct you. As one of the Fatui's executive officers, you should call that thing the Noble Eye."
Gu Sanqiu spat out the mint and took out the black and red gem from his arms.
"Yes, the evil eye of fire attribute. It seems that the guy was worried that my burst damage was not enough, so he chose this attribute. To be honest, he seems to be quite considerate?"
"What a thoughtful ass!"
Yaya uttered a rare curse: "Give me that thing!"
Gu Sanqiu dodged the right hand that Yaya extended.
"Hey, this is a toy given to me. Do you want to take it by force?"
"You haven't used this thing yet?"
"No, I just want you to come and spar with me, so that I can see how powerful the evil eye is."
YaYa is the best candidate, because even if he knows that he has the evil eye, he will not tell anyone else, not even to his subordinates among the Fatui.
The reason is very simple, because once it is said, no matter who in Liyue Harbor knows it, it is likely that the Seven Stars will know it eventually.
Putting aside Gu Sanqiu's own connections in Liyue Harbor, if this incident was defined as "The Fatui spreading the Evil Eye in Liyue Harbor", even if the Kingdom of Winter urgently dispatched a few eloquent players, they would be destined to be expelled from Liyue.
By then, forget about any lofty goals. Even if the Fatui's purpose in Liyue is just to earn funds for their colleagues through legal means, they will not be able to gain any foothold in this land.
This is a complete conspiracy, and it is also a reason that people like YaYa cannot refuse.
For the sake of Zhidong's grand plan, he would never reveal the fact that Gu Sanqiu possessed the evil eye!
"It's best if you haven't used it. Give me the stone. This thing is not a toy that can be played with casually!"
"Calm down, calm down. Don't get excited. I'm an adult, not a child who wants to reach out to test the temperature of a fire. Why do I feel like you're in the same state as my dad?"
Gu Sanqiu once again dodged Yaya's "attack".
"Also, please sober up. Do you think you can be more skilled than me simply by moving your body?"
Yaya's face darkened: "You mean I definitely can't get the evil eye, right?"
“That’s about it.”
Gu Sanqiu asked: "Then the question is, how do you activate this thing?"
"You can just inject elemental power directly, or according to the custom of you Liyue people, maybe you can make a cut on your hand and let it absorb some blood."
YaYa looked serious: "I must remind you that this thing will absorb a lot of vitality when you use it for the first time, so be careful."
"Oh, I'm not afraid of that. Considering the characteristics of this thing, I brought enough supplies when I came out."
Gu Sanqiu injected elemental power: "Speaking of which, this thing can improve your strength after all, so why did you react so strongly when you saw me take it out just now?"
“My reaction was big?”
Seeing the black and red gem suddenly light up, Yaya sat down instead.
"The one that had the biggest reaction was this gem."
"Yes, it does absorb life force ."
Gu Sanqiu looked at the gem in his hand calmly: "It feels like charging. Life force is the core energy source. This is a very novel idea . No wonder you said it's easy to have problems the first time."
"Are you okay?"
Yaya was a little surprised: "Although I didn't have any serious problems at the time, at least I was pale for a while. You look like nothing happened."
"How should I put it? You can understand that I am good at maintaining myself, so the vitality in my body is stronger?"
“This is not something that can be explained by maintenance.”
Yaya looked at Gu Sanqiu deeply and said, "If I didn't know that the doctor didn't leave any spies in Liyue, I would have thought that guy was interested in your body."
"The interest you're talking about is probably the kind of interest where they strip me naked and put me on a lab table, and then a bunch of perverts cut me into pieces with knives. And in order to observe the most intuitive reaction of my body, there's an 80% chance that they won't give me anesthesia."
Gu Sanqiu didn't feel anything. Compared with the Canxin Bone Pen, this thing was at most on par with it.
Moreover, the Evil Eye will not have any strange spiritual power to attack him. Strictly speaking, this thing is even easier to feed than the Canxin Bone Pen.
Since this thing consumes vitality, and vitality and soul essence are unique characteristics, the evil eye in his hand cannot be the one that Diluk once used.
Otherwise, what if he was discovered and was escorted from Dawn Winery to Mondstadt by a man carrying a greatsword to call the police? There was such a long way to go and he didn't want to run like a dog.
