Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 75 Endless Nightmare 3

Upon witnessing this scene, Qiuhe was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning, his pupils dilated to the extreme.

The world in my eyes flickered back and forth as if a computer had crashed.

The sight of the young girl's blood flowing down the blade was so shocking, so crystal clear.

Shock, anger, pain, sorrow, despair... countless emotions surged into Qiuhe's heart like a tide.

Gradually, the veins on his body bulged, his jaw clenched, and the anger in his eyes exploded like a meteorite, instantly igniting his entire body.

In an instant, his adrenaline surged to the critical point, and with a deafening roar, Qiuhe exerted all his strength.

Tian Yaochen and Peruvier, who were suppressing Qiuhe, were suddenly thrown back. "Bastard!!!"

Qiuhe's eyes were bloodshot, and his anger seemed to devour the strange man in front of him.

With a hoarse roar, Qiuhe, like an enraged lion, charged straight at the strange man.

But all that Qiuhe received in return was the grotesque man's terrifying face and a lightning-fast kick.

When Qiuhe was only a wrist's width away from the strange man, the man in front of him swung a kick with lightning speed.

This kick was like a spear piercing the sky, breaking Qiuhe's two knees in just a fraction of a second, and even leaving two clearly visible afterimages.

Like an ostrich's leg, the knee, which had been bent forward, was kicked into bending backward.

Due to the fractured leg bone, Qiuhe was unable to stand and fell straight forward.

The area below the knees felt as if it were connected to the thighs by only one thread.

But Qiuhe, who was blinded by anger, stubbornly stood up even with his legs broken.

However, no matter how hard he resisted, his legs were already broken, and every time he stood up, he would fall heavily to the ground again.

Countless times I stood up, countless times I fell down, and amidst this tenacious will, all I could hear was that strange man's hysterical laughter.

It was as if the world was mercilessly mocking Qiuhe's incompetence and weakness.

Then, the strange man slowly walked towards Qiuhe, like a demon from hell, exuding a chilling aura.

As the demon drew closer, until it was only inches away, Qiuhe suddenly stood up again and threw a punch.

But in the blink of an eye, Qiuhe's two arms seemed to have been severed simultaneously, falling directly to the ground.

The strange man seized the opportunity to grab Qiuhe's hair, turning Qiuhe into a human stick.

With only two broken, yet still connected, legs remaining, the strange man dragged Qiuhe slowly toward Claire, who lay in a pool of blood.

He held Qiuhe's head tightly, making him look at Claire in front of him.

As the adrenaline and anger subsided, all that remained was sorrow, pain, and despair.

"You beast, you beast!" Qiuhe's tears flowed out along with his painful, hoarse roar.

He couldn't understand what sins he had committed to deserve such torment and harm from a complete stranger.

He had never even met this person before, yet he defiled and murdered his beloved in such a depraved, immoral, and utterly cruel manner.

At this moment, the strange man's smile remained incredibly twisted and ferocious as he slowly spoke, his crimson eyes flashing.

"See you next time, hahaha," he said, then suddenly shoved Qiuhe's head down onto Claire's face.

The sword that pierced Clementine came out of her mouth.

And that strange man was now slicing Qiuhe's face piece by piece, just like slicing potato chips.

Until Qiuhe breathed his last.

At this moment, Qiuhe, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, still half asleep.

He slowly sat up in bed and gently rubbed his head. "Uh, tsk, I think I just had a nightmare, what was it again?"

Qiuhe looked completely bewildered, feeling as if he had just had a nightmare, but he couldn't remember anything about it.

Previously, Qiuhe remembered the nightmares he had, but now it's as if he's lost his memory, completely unable to recall anything from his dreams.

He then looked around and found that Clementine, Peruvian, and others were nowhere to be seen. Akikawa looked around blankly, unable to spot the three of them at all.

He then slowly looked out the window and saw that the sky outside was already beginning to lighten, and sunlight was streaming into the room.

"Could it be that there are classes today?" Qiuhe wondered, thinking that there might be some kind of class at the Hearth House today, and they might have all gone to attend.

Qiuhe finally got out of bed and slowly walked out of the room, all the way to the central hall of the fireplace house, but he didn't see a single child along the way.

He found the fireplace house to be very quiet at this moment; with each step he took, the sound of his footsteps echoed throughout the house.

Akikawa also slowly stopped, sensing something was wrong. "Clementine? Peruvieri?"

Qiuhe's voice echoed through the large fireplace of the house, but no one responded. "Could they have gone out?"

With a sense of doubt, Qiuhe slowly walked to the backyard of the fireplace house, only to find that there was nothing there when he opened the door.

Qiuhe glanced around the backyard and, finding no one there, closed the door. However, he didn't see the bloody handprint behind the door.

"Strange, where could they have gone?" Qiuhe eventually headed towards Fontaine.

He didn't see a single person or even a single monster along the way; it was extremely quiet outside.

The silence was like that of a graveyard, and Qiuhe felt a growing unease, so he quickened his pace.

Upon arriving in Fontaine, Qiuhe was so shocked that he couldn't speak, staring wide-eyed at Fontaine.

Fontaine is now a scene of utter ruin. Those once magnificent and elegant buildings are now like bricks and tiles weathered by time and the elements, riddled with cracks.

The surroundings were deathly still, devoid of any sign of life. A bead of sweat dripped from Qiuhe's face as he swallowed hard.

He quickly roamed every corner of Fontaine, calling out "Frinina! Navelette!" repeatedly.

But there was still no response. He then ran to the Gray River, calling out, "Navia! Kares, Myles Silver!"

Only the sound of the flowing water beneath the gray river answered Qiuhe; there wasn't a single person in sight. Qiuhe's heart grew increasingly panicked and chaotic.

Finally, he returned to Fontaine and was hurrying towards Momang Palace.

As Qiuhe approached the Mo Mang Palace, he immediately noticed a person squatting on the ground ahead, doing something.

He looked closely at the figure and realized it was Clementine, but she was squatting there as if chewing something, and he could even hear a very crisp sound.

A bead of sweat dripped from Qiuhe's face. "Krevy, are you... alright?" Hearing Qiuhe's voice...

Claire slowly stopped, and then, her body convulsing, she slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Qiuhe swallowed hard. He noticed that Claire's movements were becoming very strange.

When Claire stood up, Qiuhe could see everything she had been eating.

As Qiuhe stared at the scene before him, his pupils dilated, his face filled with terror.

Because what lay in front of Clementine was a corpse, and a disemboweled one at that, with all its internal organs spilling out.

Her body was covered in bite marks. Seeing this horrific scene, Qiuhe's legs began to retreat.

Clementine finally turned her head stiffly, and when Akikawa saw Clementine's face again, the fear on his face deepened.

Clementine's face was extremely withered and horrifying; her lips were also ulcerated, revealing teeth smeared with blood.

Qiuhe's mouth was agape, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. For some reason, the fear in his heart seemed to be growing stronger.

She then screamed and ran backwards, while Claire twisted her body and chased after Qiuhe.

As Qiuhe ran along the wide road, he noticed a terrifying figure rushing out from around the corner.

The man ran straight towards Qiuhe, who hurriedly dodged his attack.

He also recognized the man as Peruvéli, but he was now terrified, his former fearless and confident demeanor completely gone.

All that remained on their faces was terror. Behind them, Clementine and Peruvier were also screaming and chasing after Akikawa.

Their voices attracted even more terrifying and bizarre people to rush towards Qiuhe.

Among these people were many unfamiliar faces, but also many of them were his friends.

Just as Qiuhe was running and rounding a corner, someone suddenly pounced out from the corner and tackled Qiuhe to the ground.

Those sharp teeth instantly bit into Qiuhe's shoulder, tearing at his flesh. "Ahhh!" Qiuhe screamed and struggled to push him away.

He hurriedly stood up and saw that it was Navisette, who had been pushed to the ground and was now convulsing as she stood up in a very strange way.

Qiuhe, whose soul had been terrified, watched in horror as Vilette slowly retreated.

Just then, two hands reached out from behind Qiuhe, knocking him to the ground again and relentlessly tearing and gnawing at his flesh.

Qiuhe recognized her as Funina, but before he could break free, his friends and other strangers swarmed around him.

These horrified people, like ravenous tigers, relentlessly devoured Qiuhe, who emitted increasingly pitiful screams.

But it had no effect whatsoever; his legs, his hands, his arms were slowly dislocated.

His stomach was also cut open, and the people around him were devouring his internal organs.
