In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

Chapter 289 A Kind-Hearted Fool

"How can it be?!"

"Why aren't you dead?!"

Noticing the commotion coming from the entrance of the passage, the girl's previously lifeless eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

She stiffly raised her head, her eyes fixed on Bai Mu as he slowly walked out of the passage.

Upon hearing the girl's explosive statement, Shiraki subconsciously asked:

Am I really so deserving of death?

Looking at the blue-haired girl in the center of the hall, Shiraki felt that she looked very familiar.

Just as he was about to step forward to investigate, a loud shout suddenly rang in his ears:

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Suddenly, the girl stood up and then walked around the runes drawn on the ground with an eerie gait.

Upon reaching Shiraki's side, before Shiraki could speak, the girl grabbed Shiraki's collar with both hands.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she kept repeating the same sentence:

"Give me paper and pen, I'm almost done! Almost done!"

Bai Mu's first impression of the girl in front of him was that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Shiraki dared not be ambiguous about this.

He searched his pockets and found that he had kept some in his pockets when he had nothing else to do, and now it came in handy.

Upon seeing the paper and pen pulled from her pocket, the girl snatched them away.

"Follow my steps, and don't go the wrong way."

With paper and pen in hand, the girl's emotions calmed down considerably.

Shiraki followed closely behind the girl, walking step by step towards the center of the hall.

At this moment, he also recognized the girl's identity.

Isn't that the wind-elemental mother—Falusian?

This girl has probably been trapped here for over a hundred years. Bai Mu believes that even if he doesn't show up this time, this genius girl will be able to get out on her own after a while.

"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Shiraki poked Farusan in the back, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a roast chicken, handing it to her.

"Gudong."

"No...no need, thank you."

Upon smelling the aroma emanating from the roasted chicken, Falusan subconsciously swallowed.

However, Farusan still refused Shiraki's offer with her strong willpower.

The most urgent task right now is to decipher this ruin and leave this place.

The food was tempting, but it was nothing compared to freedom.

"Stay within this circle and don't wander off. And whatever you do, don't ruin the notes I drew on the ground."

"Once I decipher these things, we might be able to leave this place."

Farusan led Bai Mu to a spot in the center of the hall where there were no runes. After Bai Mu stood there, she sat cross-legged on the ground and began to write and draw on the paper and pen that Bai Mu had given her.

Seeing this, Bai Mu was not in a hurry.

He bent down and stood behind Farusan, his hands on his knees, leaning closer to watch how this genius girl from the Order of the Church would solve these "problems of the century".

"It'll be soon, very soon..."

"No! That's not right! This simply won't work!"

Faroshan suddenly released the black pen she was holding and grabbed her hair with both hands in frustration.

"Relax, don't rush."

"We'll always find a way out, so there's no need to rush."

Shiraki patted Farusan's shoulder and comforted her in a gentle voice.

He is very worried that Farusan will suffer a mental breakdown because of this blow.

However, Shiraki underestimated this genius girl from the Kyoto Academy this time.

Farusan glanced at Shiraki, who "hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation."

Although she was extremely exhausted, she would not suffer the mental breakdown that Shiraki had imagined.

After all, they've survived for over a hundred years. If they were truly going to have a mental breakdown, they should have collapsed a few decades ago.

"You may not yet realize how difficult our current situation is. Do you need me to explain it to you?"

Bai Mu hadn't noticed it before, but now, listening to Falushan's voice again, it seemed that because she hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, her voice sounded slightly hoarse.

"No need, I already have some understanding of the situation here."

"Instead of telling me about the situation in a secret realm, why don't you tell me what's going on with that sandstorm in the corridor?"

"By the way, you should know that the mechanisms in the corridor can trigger a sandstorm, right?"

Upon hearing Shiraki mention the mechanism, Farusan belatedly realized what it meant.

When she first saw Shiraki, she was surprised that he could survive the triggering of the mechanism.

Because she had received new paper and pen from Shiraki, her attention was entirely focused on calculating the exit.

Now that Shiraki has brought up the mechanism again, she has a lot of questions she wants to ask him.

However, before that, she explained the dangers of the mechanism to Shiraki.

"The sandstorm you just encountered was left behind by the builder of this ruin—the Red King."

"The Red King is a very ancient and powerful god. The ruins record that the sandstorms he left behind could turn living things into sand in an instant."

"I just don't understand why those sandstorms don't work on you."

"Could it be that because so much time has passed, the sandstorm has lost its original power?"

After listening to Falusan's description, Shiramu understood.

"No wonder I felt itchy when the sand was sticking to my body. So that's why the sand has this ability."

Bai Mu clicked his tongue and subconsciously said something.

"What did you say? You just feel itchy from the sand?"

"Could it be that your strength has already reached the level of the Crimson King?"

Farusan stared wide-eyed at Shiraki. She felt that Shiraki didn't seem to be lying, so a rather absurd guess arose in her mind.

"Wow, you have a good eye."

Shiraki patted Farusan on the shoulder, then made a gesture of flexing his muscles.

"I am very strong, even stronger than the Red King."

Farusan: ...

Farusan suddenly realized that the reason she couldn't tell whether the man in front of her was lying was simply because he was a fool.

This also explains why, under these circumstances, the man suddenly invited her to eat.

It is common knowledge that fools do not lie.

As for why the fool survived unharmed from the trap left by the Red King, perhaps it was just as he had thought before: the trap had broken.

"Ah~"

"Wait a little longer, I will definitely take you out."

After figuring all this out, Falusan sighed softly.

In her eyes, although Bai Mu was willing to invite her to eat, he was at least a kind-hearted fool, and she was unwilling to give up on such a kind-hearted person.

There was a small problem with the previous chapter. In the Genshin Impact setting, Farusan never deciphered anything in the Secret Realm, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time and wrote that Farusan understood the meaning of the Secret Realm runes.

However, no one noticed this detail, and it didn't affect the reading experience.
