Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 95 The Vanishing Energy

After Kailer finished speaking, everyone was somewhat incredulous, and then they all looked at Qiuhe.

At this moment, Qiuhe was still somewhat stunned by Kailu's probing slash when he suddenly heard this news.

It was like being suddenly blown to the head by a 98k rifle, then hit by an RPG; my brain was completely out of control.

It took Qiuhe a long time to react, but he was still somewhat unable to accept the shocking news that he had lost that energy.

Qiuhe even thought Kailu was joking, and then spoke with a look of fear and unease.

"Kailer. You're joking with me, right?" Seeing Qiuhe like this, Kailer found it difficult to continue speaking.

After all, considering that he wasn't Qiuhe and had never experienced the feeling of possessing such powerful energy, he naturally couldn't understand what it felt like to suddenly lose that energy.

But Kailer could also imagine that this might be equivalent to him being very smart one day, but suddenly becoming stupid the next day.

He'd probably go crazy, and after seeing Kai Le's serious expression and evasive eyes, Qiu He knew he wasn't joking.

Qiuhe's eyes were wide open at this moment. After all, he was now a child of the Hearth House, and in this place and with this status, what did losing energy mean?

He knew better than anyone, and finally, he abruptly stood up and ran towards the backyard of the fireplace house.

Everyone watched Qiuhe suddenly run away, and they all became somewhat nervous, fearing that he might do something foolish.

Finally, they quickly gave chase, pursuing him all the way to the backyard of the fireplace house.

Everyone could see that Qiuhe was standing in the center of the backyard, holding the somewhat damaged royal longsword in his hand.

Then Qiuhe gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, shouting, "Sever!"

He suddenly swung his sword, but nothing happened. Qiuhe's eyes trembled as he watched this.

Large beads of sweat covered his face. "No, no, this is definitely not right!" Qiuhe exclaimed, then abruptly closed his eyes.

He was trying to direct his consciousness into the consciousness space, but after a while, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself still standing in the same spot.

Upon discovering that he could no longer access the space of consciousness, Qiuhe felt as if a tsunami was crashing down on him, giving him an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

Qiuhe's mind was still clouding his conscience; he couldn't accept this reality.

Then, as if remembering something, he instantly turned his head and looked at Peruvé in the crowd.

Without much thought, Akikawa quickly ran to Peruvier, grabbed his hand, and then closed his eyes tightly.

But Qiuhe didn't open his eyes for a long time. Even if he tried to deceive himself, he knew that these were already settled facts.

So at this moment, he dared not open his eyes; he was afraid to see the truth. Everyone watching this scene fell silent, unsure of what to say.

After a long while, Peruvieri slowly raised her hand and touched Qiuhe's face.

It was a very gentle touch, but for Qiuhe at that moment, it undoubtedly extinguished his last illusions.

Then she slowly opened her eyes, and when she did, she saw Peruvier's mushroom-shaped eyes.

Even though Peluvelli's eyes were devoid of emotion, the turbulent look in them revealed just how worried he was.

Seeing this, Akikawa felt utterly despondent, and his hand fell limply from Peruvée's grasp.

He then retreated continuously, his head shaking incessantly. He knew the situation was now irreversible; the energy had vanished.

At this moment, Qiuhe was also breathing rapidly, his eyes were trembling, and his vision was blurry. After a ringing in his ears, he fainted.

Before he fainted, he saw the worry and fear in everyone's eyes one last time.

After being unconscious for an unknown period of time, Qiuhe gradually regained consciousness.

And you could also faintly hear people calling out, "Lei, Lei," as the voices continued to reach your ears.

Qiuhe slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Claire's worried eyes.

When Claire saw that Qiuhe had woken up, she immediately hugged him tightly. Qiuhe was still a little groggy from waking up.

When he turned to look out the window, he saw that it was already dusk. At that moment, Kailer slowly began to speak.

"You were unconscious from this morning until now, and everyone's team practice has already finished."

Upon hearing this news, Qiuhe was reminded of her own loss of energy.

At this moment, his eyes were dull and lifeless as he quietly stared out the window. Just moments before, Qiuhe had a very clear vision of the path he would take in the future.

But now, the disappearance of energy is like being blind, having lost both legs, and being unable to see the road ahead.

Unable to take another step forward, Kailer looked at Qiuhe, whose eyes had lost their sparkle, and sighed softly.

Clementine and Peruvier looked at Akikawa, whose eyes were lifeless and whose heart was ashen, and both felt extremely sad and distressed.

Kailer now realizes that his initial idea might have been somewhat ill-considered.

"If one day I were to suddenly become stupid in just one night, I might really go crazy."

But what use does Qiuhe have for that energy? They're all just a bunch of kids right now.

They're not soldiers or officers who need to fight, so whether they have that energy or not seems completely irrelevant.

Was it just for the sake of adventure? But he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would constantly pursue power for the sake of adventure.

Thinking of this, Kailer walked to the riverbed and slowly sat down, then began to speak.

"Le Yi, I know you might not listen to anything I say right now, but I don't understand why you care so much about that energy."

And it seems you're not just concerned about that energy; when you returned from the narcissus ruins, you even brought that wooden sword with you.

Forgive my bluntness, but we are just a bunch of young children. And yet, at our current age, we not only defeated King Chuchu...

They even defeated the Ironclad Molten Emperor. These achievements are quite remarkable for someone our age, but they all seem meaningless.

Why are we gradually becoming stronger? Is it just for the sake of becoming stronger?

Leyi, before you fainted, I thought about how it would feel to lose your energy, perhaps like how I became stupid overnight.

Losing what is most important to me is something I can't accept, but then I thought about it again, is that energy really that important to me?

Even without that energy, we're still doing just fine. We're free and carefree. We're not soldiers, nor are we adventurous travelers.

We were just a group of carefree children, in this fireplace house, with our mother there, so we...

Kailer suddenly stopped speaking, as if he had thought of something. "Wait, right, we're not soldiers, so why do we need to practice combat skills?"

Thinking of this, Kailer suddenly recalled the story about the king that Kudjavina had told him before.

You are children born of solitude; the fireplace house will ensure your healthy growth.

Your goal is to study, compete, and defeat all your brothers and sisters to become the king here.

To become. King.

Kailer's eyes widened, a chill running down her spine. "If this is just a game Mother is playing with everyone..."

Then why make everyone carry real swords? And if it's just a game, why hone your skills by hunting monsters?

Shouldn't the essence of games be to have fun? But going to such lengths and undergoing such intense training for a game just doesn't seem right.

"And what does 'defeat' mean by defeating all my brothers and sisters to become the king of this place?" Thinking about this, Kailer felt a chill run down his spine.

Then he turned to look at Qiuhe lying on the bed. Qiuhe's eyes were empty, as if he had been sentenced to death, his gaze devoid of any emotion.

While Kailer's mind was in a state of confusion, she saw Peruvier slowly approach Akikawa on the bed and gently help him up.

She hugged him tightly and said softly, "Don't let this setback make you lose your way and get lost in the fog."

The Leyi I know isn't so easily defeated, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be.

We shouldn't have given up so soon, Leyi. Don't be sad. This kind of heavy responsibility shouldn't be borne by you alone.

Since you've lost your energy, then it's my turn to protect you, Clementine, Lily, and everyone else. I won't let them be in danger.

"I will eventually lead Leyi and everyone else out of this abyss."
