Young Man, Not Only White-Haired But Also Suffering From Alzheimer's

Mu Yang told Lumine.

He was fine and she didn't need to worry.

"See? I'm perfectly fine."

Only then did Lumine release his hand.

Paimon finally found an opportunity to interject.

Lumine's actions just now were too fast.

It startled her.

"We were all very worried about you."

"But you came back to this place... you really are an Immortal, aren't you!"

Mu Yang didn't say he was an Immortal.

Instead, he shook his head.

"I don't know."

[Okay, okay, yes or no, you're giving us an 'or', aren't you?]

[Yikes—I have a bad feeling about this]

[Don't just have bad feelings, what turned you into this, miHoYo?]

"You don't know?"

Lumine found it a bit unbelievable.

It's either yes or no. What kind of answer is 'I don't know'?

Mu Yang didn't seem to intend to hide anything.

He told Lumine and Paimon.

His memory was actually quite jumbled.

He often forgot many things.

He only remembered things that happened recently.

His memories from too long ago were a complete blank.

"Take the Abyss Order I told you about before."

"In another year or two, I might not remember anything about it."

These words weren't something Mu Yang made up to trick Lumine.

They were deductions based on existing settings.

This part had been revised.

Teyvat had its own rules.

He suppressed the Archons, and the Archons might, in turn, erode him.

Otherwise, there shouldn't be such large gaps in his memory.

In the livestream.

Guinaifen's mood wasn't great upon hearing this.

She complained.

"What kind of ridiculous setting is this? It feels like there's going to be some heartbreak here, folks."

[Suffering from Alzheimer's at such a young age, is that it?]

[Damn, so in the end, will you forget about us too?]

[No! If you forget me, at least wait until I've quit playing for ten years]

[Usually, when a setting like this is introduced, the overall tone is set for heartbreak]

[If Mu Yang really dies, I'm not playing anymore 555]

[It's only just launched, bro, and he's definitely going to be a gacha character you can pull. I can only say, don't panic]

Paimon listened to Mu Yang's words. "So that's why you said you didn't know?"

"Did you forget your own identity too?"

Paimon saw Mu Yang nod.

She was utterly shocked.

Lumine also found it unbelievable.

This was too preposterous.

"Is this a sickness?"

"I can't say for sure, but it probably isn't."

Lumine suddenly felt something was strange.

If Mu Yang couldn't remember anything, then why was he at the Rite of Ascension today?

To pay respects to Rex Lapis like an ordinary person?

Impossible, because he left midway.

Furthermore, he came to Mount Aocang, where Immortals reside, afterward.

None of this made any sense.

Lumine asked him, "Then why did you come to Mount Aocang?"

"Let's sit down and talk. This matter might even involve you."

Lumine picked a spot to sit. The sign read, 'Borrowing the Geo Archon's seat here.'

"Involve me?"

Lumine grew even more confused.

Mu Yang also sat down.

He began to recount his story from his perspective.

He said the reason he was in Mondstadt before was because of the clearest memories in his mind.

Besides the Fatui, there was the Abyss Order.

He also heard that Mondstadt was suffering from a Dragonplague, which might be related to the Abyss Order, so he came to investigate.

It would be best if he could find out something. If not, he would consider it helping Mondstadt City. After all, not every Demonic Beast from the Abyss could speak human language.

Lumine already knew what happened in Mondstadt after that.

Lumine pondered.

Paimon interjected.

"What happened after that? Did something happen after you left Mondstadt?"

Mu Yang replied, "Yes."

After interacting with Lumine, new things would occasionally appear in his memory.

Though not many.

Like a name, for instance.

"A name?"

"Morax."

[Isn't that Rex Lapis's name?]

[Holy crap, Mu Yang knows the Geo Archon?]

[This is quite the twist]

[I'm going to post on HoYoLAB now, hahaha, Truthful Immortal, brilliant!]

Lumine suddenly understood.

"Is that why you came to the 'Rite of Ascension'?"

Mu Yang nodded.

"I thought if I could see him, I might recall more."

Paimon expressed understanding.

But Lumine still had a question.

"Then why did you leave midway?"

"I didn't see you in your original spot during the ceremony."

Mu Yang offered the excuse he had prepared.

"Because I sensed a few unfriendly gazes."

"They weren't just staring at the sky, but at both of you..."

This statement startled Paimon.

"Huh? Do you mean the culprit wanted to harm us too?"

Lumine analyzed the clues in her hand.

Her train of thought was quite clear.

"Are you saying, the Fatui?"

Mu Yang: "Yes, the person staring at you was one of the Fatui Executives."

"As for the others, I couldn't tell, because they scattered as soon as I moved."

Mu Yang's story.

Part truth, part fiction.

Lumine held a special significance for every character.

Who knew if what he was saying now would come true later?

Perhaps this was the trigger for the legendary quest to begin.

Mu Yang's final outcome.

It would definitely happen under Lumine's witness.

Silver Wolf's livestream.

The little wolf could now boast.

"Haters, speak up. Try saying the streamer got punched in the face again."

"I already said Mu Yang wasn't the culprit."

"And 'Truthful Immortal,' tsk."

[Haters speak up]

[This is the real hardcore streamer, love it]

[Guys, I've already created many alt accounts to comment on that post, waiting for constellation upgrades]

[You guys actually believe it? Constellation upgrades?]

[Just tell me if you posted or not]

[I just see him as a clown]

Back in Teyvat.

Mu Yang continued recounting the recent events.

"I wasn't sure what the Executive's objective was."

"I thought he intended to harm you, so I blocked him."

"After you left, I immediately chased after you, but unfortunately, I couldn't find you."

Lumine and Paimon exchanged glances.

It seemed they had been tricked by someone.

"Childe's subordinates took us to the Northland Bank."

"He also said your situation was very dangerous and urged us to seek help from the Immortals..."

Mu Yang looked understanding.

"I see, that's why you two are here."

Paimon asked.

"What about you? You said you couldn't find us, then what?"

"Why did you also end up on Mount Aocang?"

To this question.

Mu Yang was well-prepared.

"The news of Morax's demise gave me a splitting headache."

"My intuition told me I should go to Guili Plains, and Mount Aocang."

Paimon: "Guili Plains? Isn't it called Guili Ruins?"

Mu Yang said he wasn't sure.

He had gone there himself anyway.

There was nothing there but ruins.

After that, he came towards Mount Aocang.

"The moment I set foot on the summit, I happened to run into you all."

After hearing Mu Yang's elaborate fabrication, the system

couldn't help but applaud him.

"Tsk, you're really something else. I can't even tell which part of what you said is true and which is false."

Mu Yang replied to the system.

"What's there to say? It's super true, truer than a Cheese Snow Leopard!"
