Su Yuan looked at "Klee" and thought to himself—could it be that "Klee" was now the only one with three different Eerie transformation rules?
If they couldn't figure out the true cause of Klee's Eerie transformation, it would definitely lead to more casualties!
So, Su Yuan no longer hesitated.
He couldn't afford to care about anything else—he directly decided to consume one rewind attempt and activated his ability: Rule Condition Insight!
Immediately, a line of text appeared before Su Yuan's eyes:
[If Klee isn't allowed to go blow up fish, Klee will be very sad and upset…]
Staring at this short line of text, Su Yuan froze…
What was this?
He had gambled with his life, spending one of his limited rewinds and using a once-per-day ability, only to get such a short line?
And on top of that, how was this any different from the hints given on the palm of his right hand?
Didn't this mean he had wasted a precious chance for nothing???
Su Yuan's mind began racing at high speed, considering all sorts of possibilities…
Could it be that this Condition Insight ability had a real limitation—only able to reveal one Eerie condition at a time?
If that was really the case, wasn't it a bit too useless?
And even so, shouldn't it at least reveal a different Eerie condition?
Why give him one he already knew?
But soon, Su Yuan thought of another possibility—what if Klee's Eerie transformation truly had only this one cause?
After all, people with two or more Eerie conditions were still rare exceptions…
Aether glanced at the closing-in "Klee," then at Su Yuan, who seemed to be lost in deep thought, and anxiously shouted:
"Su Yuan, at a time like this, what are you spacing out for?!"
At this moment, however, Su Yuan seemed to have entered a strange state, muttering to himself over and over:
"Klee's Eerie cause is blowing up fish…"
"Blowing up fish… blowing up fish… blowing up fish???"
Then suddenly, Su Yuan realized something.
He quickly turned to Aether and shouted:
"Aether! I've figured out the real cause of Klee's Eerie transformation!!!"
"The one and only cause of Klee's Eerie transformation is—not letting her blow up fish!!!"
"But the explanation of the words 'blowing up fish' actually has different meanings!!!"
"'Blowing up fish' doesn't only mean literally throwing bombs into ponds or rivers to blow up fish in real life—it can also refer to a highly skilled person crushing someone far less skilled!!!"
"Whether it was Klee playing with those children before, or now helping the engineering team adjust their bomb formulas—Klee's level is far above everyone else's!!!"
"Perhaps even Klee herself hasn't realized that this kind of behavior, in a sense, can also be called 'blowing up fish'!!!"
Hearing Su Yuan's words, Aether was completely dumbfounded.
He had never heard that 'blowing up fish' could even have such a meaning.
Seeing Aether's confused expression, Su Yuan finally understood—the eerie forces were playing word games with him again!
'Blowing up fish' was an internet slang term from his own world.
If it weren't for his knowledge and realization, the rest of Teyvat would probably remain in the dark about it forever!
*TL note : In China "Fish bombing" is a term used in gaming to describe a behavior where players with exceptional skill levels deliberately play using lower-tier accounts—essentially, high-level players using low-level accounts.
But what made Su Yuan feel worried and anxious was—even if they now knew the true meaning behind Klee's eerie condition, how could they make "Klee" return to normal?
And judging from earlier intelligence and her behavior, the Eerie "Klee" didn't seem to have any specific target—she was simply attacking indiscriminately, taking joy in bombing people…
Just as Su Yuan was still thinking, Aether suddenly made a move that Su Yuan couldn't comprehend…
Instead of running away with Su Yuan and Paimon, Aether directly rushed toward "Klee" with the look of someone ready to die a heroic death!
"Traveler, what are you doing???" Paimon cried out in shock, immediately following close behind Aether.
Facing the onrushing Aether and Paimon, the corners of "Klee's" mouth curled into a twisted, mocking smile:
"Oh? You're so eager to be blown to bits by my bombs and burned alive by my flames?"
"Very well—then I'll grant your wish!!!"
As "Klee" spoke, she hurled a bomb toward Aether and Paimon, while at the same time gathering flames tainted with eerie power in her hands, unleashing them viciously at the two!
"Let the bombs and flames purify everything!!!"
Aether and Paimon's mortal bodies couldn't possibly withstand "Klee's" bombs and fire.
They were blown into pieces by the explosions, then burned to ashes in the flames!
Su Yuan stared at the scene, his mind going completely blank—utterly stunned…
What was going on here?
Before, he had always been the one racking his brains to find ways to kill himself—so why was it Aether's turn now?
And why did this scene feel strangely familiar…?
"The next one is you, Brother Su Yuan…"
After finishing off Aether and Paimon, "Klee" slowly approached Su Yuan, speaking in a cold tone:
"Brother Su Yuan, do you know how many holes a human body has?"
Hearing "Klee's" question, Su Yuan shuddered all over without warning.
What did she mean by asking this?
"Ordinary people might think there are seven, since there's the saying about bleeding from the seven orifices…"
"Klee" chuckled darkly and continued:
"People a little smarter might think it's nine. A bit smarter still might say twelve or thirteen. Of course, some have other opinions…"
"So, all in all, Brother Su Yuan, how many holes do you think are on your body?"
"If I were to place a bomb inside every single one of your holes, and then set them all off at once—what kind of beautiful sight would that be???"
Su Yuan knew he couldn't escape death this time.
No matter how he answered, "Klee" was definitely going to blow him up with bombs…
So he gave up struggling, and with a bitter smile replied:
"If I say zero, would you not blow me up with bombs?"
"Brother Su Yuan, if you answer zero, then I won't use bombs. Instead, I'll burn you alive with fire!!!"
In the next instant, Su Yuan felt scorching flames engulfing his entire body, his skin blackening as it burned, his consciousness gradually fading away…
In the final moment of his life, Su Yuan thought: this death marked his third one today…
Hopefully, the number of random death rewinds he had left today would be a bit higher…
So then, how many holes does a person's body have?
