At the Favonius Cathedral, everyone waited and waited, but "Albert" never appeared…
"Aether, could your intel be wrong?" Su Yuan asked, puzzled.
Su Yuan thought that, as expected, the information from his own palm reading was more reliable—it hardly ever made mistakes…
Aether also looked confused, thinking something wasn't right…
From the previous encounter, the Eerie "Albert" had immense power, capable of easily defeating the Eerie "Rosaria"…
And the strength of Eerie "Razor" should not even be comparable to Rosaria's…
So why, after all this time, hadn't "Albert" brought Razor to the Favonius Cathedral to see Barbara?
"Traveler, we can't just keep waiting like this. Sitting idle won't do; we have to take the initiative," Lisa said.
"It seems that's the only option," Aether replied helplessly, facing this unexpected situation.
But just as everyone was about to go out and search for Razor, "Albert" suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Favonius Cathedral!
"See? I told you, Albert would come!" Aether said.
However, it quickly became clear to everyone present that, although Albert's body was covered in blood, he was not carrying Razor's head…
Even though the group could feel the overwhelming Eerie energy emanating from Albert, they recalled Aether's earlier words: although Albert was immensely powerful, the influence of kind-hearted Barbara meant that even in a Eerie state, he wouldn't kill innocents…
But the next moment, the unexpected happened!
Albert suddenly unleashed a surge of intense, dense Eerie energy.
With incredible speed, he instantly killed all the other Favonius Knights present and used his Eerie power to suppress everyone, rendering them completely immobile!
"Traveler, what's happening?! Didn't you say that Eerie Albert wouldn't kill innocents?" Paimon asked, terrified.
Aether was also stunned…
Something was off.
The last time they encountered Albert, although he attacked the Favonius Knights, he had shown restraint and caused no casualties…
So why, this time, did he immediately start killing on sight?
At this moment, "Albert" slowly approached the group, glanced at Lisa, then at Paimon, and spoke coldly:
"You two aren't my target, so just die!"
The next moment, Albert grabbed Paimon's head with her left hand and choked Lisa with her right, then squeezed violently.
Paimon's head instantly burst like a watermelon, while Lisa's neck snapped like a wooden stick.
"Paimon!!! Lisa!!!" Su Yuan and Aether cried out in shock at the brutal scene.
"Albert, what are you doing???"
"Killing innocents like this—aren't you afraid that kind-hearted Barbara's spirit will see this and feel sorrowful???"
However, facing Su Yuan and Aether's questions, Albert only gave a bitter smile:
"Whether Barbara is sorrowful, or thinks I am a sinner… it doesn't matter…"
"As long as it can bring her back to life, it's worth me bearing all this blame!!!"
"Albert!!! What nonsense are you talking about??? Is this your reason for killing innocents???" Su Yuan shouted.
"Death cannot be reversed; it's an objective truth!!!"
"Barbara is already dead. No matter how much you hurt others, you cannot bring her back!!!"
Su Yuan knew very well that only he, using his ability to rewind death, could save someone who had already passed.
Even with Albert's current Eerie powers, no one could accomplish such a feat!!!
"That's right! I've seen it with my own eyes—the man has a method to bring Miss Barbara back!!!"
Albert shouted hysterically:
"For that, I am willing to pay any price, even if it means going to hell!!!"
"That man???"
Su Yuan and Aether quickly realized they had caught an important piece of information and immediately asked: "Who is that man? What exactly did he tell you that made you turn into this?"
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll take you to meet him now…"
Albert spoke coldly and calmly:
"Once I complete the task he assigned me, I'll be able to obtain the method to bring Miss Barbara back to life…"
Then, Albert quietly led Su Yuan and Aether out of Mondstadt to a secluded cave at the foot of a mountain outside the city.
Inside this hidden cave, Su Yuan and Aether finally saw the mysterious man Albert had mentioned!
"Dottore!!!" Su Yuan and Aether shouted angrily, "So it was you all along!!!"
Faced with their furious shouting, Dottore only smiled slightly, looking very pleased, and shamelessly said: "Hahaha, thank you for the compliment!"
Then Dottore addressed Albert: "Albert, please guard outside the cave. If anyone approaches, show no mercy!"
"Once I finish talking with my two friends, I will teach you the method to bring Barbara back to life!"
"Albert, don't listen to Dottore's nonsense!!!" Su Yuan shouted at Albert.
"Dottore is a madman and a fraud. He has no intention of helping you bring Barbara back; he's just deceiving and using you!"
"Exactly! Albert! Dead people cannot be brought back to life! That's basic common sense. Don't let this scoundrel Dottore trick you!!!" Aether also chimed in, trying to warn him.
However, Dottore remained completely unperturbed, speaking calmly as usual:
"Mr. Albert, you know the saying: 'Hearing is false, seeing is true,' don't you?"
"I've already personally demonstrated my techniques to you. You have a choice—believe me, or believe their nonsense. Surely, your heart already knows the answer."
"Dottore, if I later find out you've deceived me, I will never forgive you…"
Albert said this, then fell silent, tacitly accepting Dottore's words, and went to guard the cave entrance.
Dottore then revealed a satisfied smile, looked at Su Yuan and Aether, licked his lips, and said:
"Now, it's just the three of us…"
"The three of us will have a proper conversation, heart to heart. Nothing is more important than this…"
