Chapter 38: My Eyesight Is Quite Accurate(1/2)
In the cave.
Yura had forgotten to cry.
He stared dumbly at the Eye of God that had lost its light and turned into an empty shell.
Lin Feng also rubbed his eyes vigorously to confirm that his eyesight was not wrong.
Can the already lit Eye of God be extinguished?
This was the first time he had seen this kind of thing.
"This, this is..."
"Is this God's punishment for me?"
Yula looked bitter and murmured in a low voice.
In the continent of Teyvat, almost everyone has this understanding.
That is the birth of the Eye of God, because the God cast His gaze on someone.
This represents God's recognition of a person.
But now her divine eye is extinguished.
The eyes of God, which can only be extinguished when the master dies, appear in her, a living person.
"Having abandoned Mondstadt, have the gods also abandoned me?"
The bitter look on Yula's face became even worse.
Only this time there were no tears shed.
It seems that he is mentally prepared for this.
"show me."
Lin Feng took the Eye of God from Youla and looked at it carefully.
This Eye of God, which once exuded dazzling light, is now completely gray, with no luster at all.
Even the original ice element pattern has disappeared.
Apart from being identifiable as a Mondstadt, it looks like an empty shell of the Eye of God with no attributes.
After thinking about it for a while.
Lin Feng roughly had a guess.
"I probably understand."
"desire."
"Your desire to light up the Eyes of God is gone."
"Wish?" Youla looked at Lin Feng in surprise.
"right."
"The Fools have done in-depth research on the Eye of God."
"There is a madman who traveled all over the continent and collected more than hundreds of samples of Eye of God holders."
"Combining these cases."
"He came to the conclusion that the Eye of God must be related to wishes."
“But there’s only so much that can be summed up.”
"Because there is no pattern in the appearance of the Eye of God. Even with so many samples, we still can't figure out how it appears."
"Some people work hard all their lives and never get it. Some people just say, 'I need an Eye of God,' and the Eye of God appears on its own."
Having said this, Lin Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
It's because of this investigation.
The doctor started a very large-scale human experiment.
Trying to use various methods to stimulate the most instinctive and strongest desires of human beings, in order to mass-produce God's Eye owners.
But without exception, these experiments failed.
Only then did he change direction and change the goal of the experiment to create a substitute for the Eye of God.
That is the evil eye.
The original version of Evil Eye.
Although its ability to use elemental power is not inferior to the real Eye of God, its backlash is so strong that it will basically kill you instantly as long as you use it once.
In order to be mass produced and equipped for soldiers.
The doctor embarked on a dual-line project.
On the one hand, the evil eye has been drastically improved to reduce the backlash to the user.
On the other hand, the soldiers of Fools are strengthened through human body modification, making their bodies stronger and able to withstand the backlash of the evil eye.
It lasted several years and cost countless lives.
This gave rise to the tyrannical national power that Zhi Dong has today.
These things are even publicly displayed on the walls among the fools.
The doctor regarded it as his great achievement and called it a man-made miracle.
Those who were mutilated to death in the Evil Eye experiment were also said by him to have sacrificed their lives for great ideals and causes.
Therefore, almost every fool and soldier knows the origin of the evil eye.
Not really big news.
With Youla's current situation, Lin Feng naturally concluded that there was something wrong with her wish.
If he remembers correctly.
In the original world line, Diluc's wishes were shattered due to the death of his father and the betrayal of the Knights of the West Wind. In the end, he voluntarily abandoned the Eye of God, causing the Eye of God to be extinguished.
But later, after the Black Fire incident, he rekindled his old desire and successfully lit it up again.
And based on the eye of God summarized by the doctor, the commonality is obtained.
Among them, the owners of the Ice God's Eye have all encountered extreme contradictions and endless endless loops. They want to achieve what they want, but the means they use to do things are not what they want, and they end up using methods they don't like.
Keep what you love.
Yora had been wavering between her hatred of the Laurence family and her attitude towards Mond.
In the end, she chose to walk her own path of hatred between the two. The moment she strengthened her faith, she obtained the Eye of the Ice God.
But just now.
Yora despaired of what Mondt had done.
He completely gave up on his desire to walk out on the road of hatred and coexist with the Mondstadt people.
Just as she said.
If Lin Feng hadn't exposed Mond's conspiracy against the Lawrence family here, Yola's dream would have continued.
There is no such thing as the Eye of God suddenly extinguishing.
...
After Lin Feng explained his conclusion in detail, Youla fell into silence for a long time.
Her wish was indeed gone.
Even now she is still very confused.
Lin Feng is from the Winter Country.
Being with him is no different than betraying Mondstadt.
So the moment I made my decision, my already distant sense of belonging to Mond completely disappeared.
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Lin Feng's speculation.
"Your divine eye will have a chance to light up in the future."
Seeing her disappointed look, Lin Feng comforted her.
"I'm fine."
"I just feel a little empty mentally."
Yola sighed, took back her God's Eye with care, then sat back on the stone, staring blankly at the blazing bonfire.
"What you say sounds nice, but your body is very honest."
Lin Feng shook his head and cursed secretly.
Then he stared at Youla and said seriously: "I didn't lie to you."
