"Oh? You can guess why I'm here? Then tell me, why am I here... for what?"
The Wanderer cast an interested gaze. He had come to search for Danyu's soul, but not only did he not find it, he couldn't find anyone involved in that incident either!
"Isn't it obvious? You came here just to find Danyu, right? And coincidentally, I know this part of history. Are you interested in hearing about it? After you hear it, I'm afraid you'll start to detest your own identity."
Lu Ze was also a bit interested. When the Wanderer learned the truth behind everything, would he immediately rush back to find and fight the Doctor? Although, with his current strength, he might not win. But with Lu Ze's help, that was not necessarily the case.
The Doctor, that guy, deserved to die long ago. He let him escape last time, but he couldn't let him escape a second time. Even though he had many "slices," it was better to kill one.
"Then tell me, I'll listen here. Don't look at me like that! I won't run away."
Lu Ze wasn't in a hurry anyway. He had plenty of time. After all, his purpose for coming here was just to find the soul of Sasayuri. He could search while talking, it wasn't impossible.
"Then come with me. I have things to do here too."
The Wanderer leaned closer with a wary expression, his arrogant demeanor softening. After all, starting a conflict now would bring him no benefit.
"You came here just to find Danyu's soul, right? You want to understand the truth of what happened, why this person fled the battlefield, why this person dug out a servant's heart to give to you."
These simple words made the Wanderer's pupils contract. Even Hu Tao next to him could clearly feel the change in his emotions.
"How do you know?!! Did you secretly investigate me?"
The Wanderer immediately took a few steps back, his hand, without anyone knowing, had already gathered considerable power.
"I have no interest in that. I just happen to know about your history. Let the story unfold from where you're interested. You believe your first betrayal came from the god's abandonment, right?"
Lu Ze said casually, as if all of this was just a speck of dust in history, a passing traveler. But for the Wanderer, it was only painful memories and a deeply ingrained betrayal.
"So what if it is? She, this Raiden Shogun, created me, so why did she ignore me? Why did she leave me in that place! What was the point of her creating me? Was it for fun?!"
The Wanderer's emotions changed even faster. As soon as he mentioned the Raiden Shogun, he felt immense anger and a hollowness in his chest.
"Then let me tell you, you were indeed created by her, and you are one of many puppet dolls she created. But you are different! You possess human emotions and were not suitable for storing a Gnosis.
Because in her heart, you were already a living person! So she set you free, wanting you to experience the world, rather than being confined in a fleeting, ethereal pure land."
These words were like a sharp blade, directly slicing open his chest, dealing him a heavy blow.
"Even if what you say is true, then why?! Why did Danyu run away! Why did he make me a sacrifice, to help him complete unfinished business!"
This was his second betrayal, and what he considered his second betrayal. In reality, no one had ever betrayed him from the start. Everything was just his own assumption.
Hateful people have pitiable aspects, but this hateful person's pitiable aspects were also self-assumed.
"He didn't run away. Remember that heart? That wasn't a servant's heart. It belonged to him. Otherwise, why would he protect you in a desperate situation?"
With this statement, the Wanderer suffered another blow. If that heart was Danyu's, then wasn't he the one who personally discarded it? Wouldn't he be the traitor in Danyu's eyes?
Lu Ze searched as he spoke. He scanned the surroundings and found the person he was looking for. He was a little surprised, though, that after a hundred years, why did this person still have such a strong lingering attachment, wanting to stay in this place.
"Do you remember the person from Fontaine? Actually, that person was just your colleague in disguise, Dottore the Doctor. He impersonated that person, and one night, he personally killed Danyu and dug out his heart, placing it into a device."
The Doctor? Dottore! Several crucial pieces of information appeared in his mind. So, the mastermind behind all this was the Doctor. Then he himself...
From that time until now, he had undergone countless experiments by the Doctor. His recent plans even involved the concept of creating a god. So, he was just a piece of experimental material?
That's why they didn't kill him, right?
A sense of indignation arose in his mind. But no matter how much rage he felt, just hearing others' words, he had nowhere to vent it.
"He killed Danyu, and all of this was done at the behest of the Pantalone. Do you know why they extended an olive branch to you? Because you were a useful person, someone who could be exploited, therefore worthy of an olive branch! Otherwise, do you think someone without value would be worth them doing all this?"
Lu Ze spoke as he walked, arriving in front of a person whose clothes were already tattered. Similar to Kujou Sara, this person also wore a pair of dark wings.
This should be Sasayuri. She even wore a red mask on her head, which was said to be a symbol of the Tengu clan.
"What regrets do you have? Still lingering here, a hundred years have passed, and your regrets have not diminished?"
Sasayuri looked up and said faintly:
"My regret is whether the nation is safe? Are they doing well? But I can't even leave this place, how can I know their situation? I have waited here for over a hundred years, and I still haven't received an answer."
Before Lu Ze could reply, the Wanderer impatiently asked:
"So Dottore killed Danyu! And took out his heart, and then fabricated a lie! This led to all the subsequent events? Is that right?"
Lu Ze looked at Sasayuri, then at the Wanderer, unsure of whom to answer first.
"You answer his first. I'm not in a hurry. After all, I've already lived for over a hundred years, what's there to rush about?"
Sasayuri lowered her head again, silently gazing at the floor, her heart wondering how those few people were doing.
