Bang!
The Ruin Guard was thrown to the edge of the cliff, hitting the ground and scattering parts, but it didn't fall off the cliff.
The first Ruin Guard yielded no results, so Yuuko began to target another Ruin Guard.
Unfortunately, the second Ruin Guard was one that could move.
It was highly unlikely for a moving Ruin Guard to have a book hidden inside it.
However, to be safe, Yuuko still attacked this Ruin Guard.
He directly performed a 'hand-tear Gundam' move, shattering the Ruin Guard's body... After confirming that there was indeed no past events of the sun and moon on this Ruin Guard, he threw all its parts to the cliff edge... Subsequently, Yuuko turned his 'harmonious' gaze to the third Ruin Guard... The third Ruin Guard... perished!
The fourth... the fifth... until the seventeenth!
By now, Yuuko had almost destroyed all the Ruin Guards on the western side of the island... This seventeenth one was one of the last two remaining Ruin Guards on the western side.
Once this one was dealt with, there would only be one left.
Because of this, Yuuko began to doubt if his conjecture was wrong:
"Is it not hidden in the Ruin Guards... or is it in the Ruin Guards on the eastern side of the island...?"
As his voice fell, Yuuko once again tore apart the seventeenth Ruin Guard in front of him with his bare hands.
It's not here!
He began to focus his attention on the eighteenth and last Ruin Guard on the western side.
It was at this moment that a strange feeling suddenly arose in Yuuko's heart.
That feeling had been present since he landed on this small island, and standing in front of this particular Ruin Guard, the feeling was especially strong!
Yuuko knew he had made the right bet!
What he was looking for was on this Ruin Guard in front of him!
Thus, Yuuko's movements became unprecedentedly careful; he gently grasped the Ruin Guard's body and slowly lifted it.
He was afraid that too much movement would destroy the book.
But after lifting the Ruin Guard, there was nothing to be seen in the original spot where it had been.
Yuuko threw the Ruin Guard in his hand far away and quietly looked ahead.
Although he couldn't see anything ahead, Yuuko knew that something was definitely hidden in the ground there!
Yuuko stood in place, pondering for a long time, and then an incredible idea suddenly popped into his head.
He wasn't quite sure why that thought appeared.
But in the unknown, he felt he could do it.
For this, Yuuko squatted down, closed his eyes, and placed his hand on the ground in front of him.
Subsequently, a faint light emanated from his hand.
Now, Yuuko intended to connect to the Ley Lines!
Although Enkanomiya appears not to be connected to the Ley Lines, in reality... Ley Lines are everywhere!
Unless they are artificially severed like Dragonspine in Mondstadt.
Otherwise, any place, any corner on the continent of Teyvat, will have more or less a connection to the Ley Lines!
Enkanomiya is no exception; even if its connection to the Ley Lines is extremely weak, it is indeed connected to them.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for memory entities like Aru to exist!
After a long while, as more and more beads of sweat appeared on Yuuko.
The ground in front of him also slowly emitted light, and these lights were gradually condensing into an object.
Those lights were memories, those lights condensed into a book!
Looking at the book condensed on the ground, Yuuko gave a bitter smile:
"What an interesting way to hide a book. Even if an ordinary person knew the book was hidden in this spot, they probably wouldn't be able to retrieve it."
Who would have thought that the original copy of the past events of the sun and moon had actually been destroyed.
The People of the Kingdom of the Night used a very special method to transform the book's content into memories, hidden within the Ley Line's undercurrents!
Only those who could connect with the Ley Lines could retrieve that fragment of memory from them and materialize it.
Materializing it into the true past events of the sun and moon!
Now, Yuuko also confirmed one thing.
This method of hiding books was probably tailor-made for him... because on the continent of Teyvat, apart from him, probably no one else could connect to the Ley Lines with their own body...
This point made Yuuko extremely surprised.
Did the Serpent God Orobashi, when he was still alive, know that he would come to retrieve the book hundreds of years later?
