Chapter 252: Memories of a Scattered Soldier - Part 2
Subsequently, many of the implicated individuals involved in the "Five Transmissions of Lightning" were retaliated against by the collapsing state.
In his view, without the creation of the Mikage Furnace by the Five Transmissions of Lightning, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
Although this logic is somewhat absurd, the collapse of a corrupted nation cannot afford to care about such things.
In the ensuing retaliation, the Kingdom secretly altered the sword manual, making it impossible for the swordsmiths to complete their forging tasks. In order to avoid punishment from the Castle Keep, most of them fled in fear of punishment, and by winter had arrived.
[My friend passed away because of sword forging, and these schools of swords were left behind by you, so... let's start with swordsmithing!]
With this in mind, the corrupted Guo Beng began an even darker revenge, even going so far as to eliminate witnesses.
Later, he met a sick boy in a small house, and the boy was willing to be his friend.
What he didn't know was that the boy and his parents had all contracted illnesses during the disaster, and their faces were pale all day long, until only the little boy was left.
Guo Beng and the little boy made a promise to grow up together, but... the little boy passed away one night, unable to fulfill his promise to Guo Beng.
Unable to accept the collapse of the nation, he turned completely to the dark side, which is the origin of the phrase "I have been betrayed three times".
His mother's abandonment, his friends' departure, and his son's abandonment made him completely disillusioned with the world.
In his view, Niwa, as one of his friends, actually abandoned Futsuna and fled from here out of fear of punishment.
But in the [Doctor's] eyes, this was nothing more than a petty trick. He secretly murdered Danyu, deceived Kunibō about Danyu's whereabouts, and even handed Danyu's heart to Kunibō.
Ultimately, after meeting Yoshiyoshi Kaedehara and learning that he was a descendant of Niwa, the last shred of conscience in Guo Pang made him stop his revenge, and he disappeared from Inazuma.
The truth is that he joined the Fatui at the invitation of the Fatui Executor [Clown] and became an Executor.
The Ice Goddess bestowed upon him the name [Scattered Soldier].
Ultimately, the soldier's greatest hatred was for his own mother, which may be one of the reasons why he was persuaded by the clown and joined the Fools.
……
Back to reality.
"The country has collapsed, and you have suffered."
After hearing the gist of the story, Ying gently patted the stragglers' head and then sighed helplessly.
"Sigh... My sister and I shouldn't have abandoned you back then, causing you so much trouble. In a way, I also bear some responsibility for this."
"When I first learned that you were the one who stepped on the sand, I didn't go to deal with it myself to prevent my sister from destroying you after you were revived. I didn't expect that mechanic would take advantage of the situation. According to the information that Sara gave me, there is no such mechanic in Fontaine at all, and Dan Yu didn't go to Zhi Dong at all. Instead, he was murdered."
After saying that, Ying angrily clenched the intelligence report.
"Mom, what did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, the stragglers stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"You mean... that mechanic actually used false information to manipulate me, leading me step by step into darkness? Damn it, he must be one of the Fatui, and he even invited me to join them later, what a scoundrel!"
Recalling the man's unclear face, the soldier stomped his foot angrily.
Just as the two were talking enthusiastically, Raiden quietly walked up behind Kage and poked the back of her head.
