Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

The moment Zhongli picked up the piano, he suddenly saw a lot of black substances pouring out of the piano. These substances seemed to be alive and clung to Zhongli's wrist. He tried to break free, but was powerless.

Along with it, there was also a creepy feeling. He could feel his hairs standing on end, as if something extremely terrifying was on his hands and spreading towards his whole body.

At that moment, Zhongli immediately wanted to throw down the piano, but the piano seemed to have grown on his hand. He wanted to let go, but he couldn't.

Immediately afterwards, his body felt stiff and numb, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

He didn't know how long he had been wandering in the darkness. When Zhongli woke up again, he found that he was in the Hall of Rebirth.

He sat up from the bed and looked around in confusion.

I moved my wrist and found that there was nothing strange. My body was as flexible as ever, and my elemental power could be used normally.

This also made him feel relieved, and he thought it was a terrible dream, but he always felt as if there was one less person around him.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded outside.

His heart tightened, thinking that some demon was coming. Unexpectedly, when he ran out of the room, he only saw lanterns rising from the sea, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers echoed in his ears.

"Sea Lantern Festival?" Zhongli asked himself, "Yes, I was drinking with Barbatos just now. I was afraid that he would get drunk again and pour the wine on my head, so I pretended to be drunk and left first."

Thinking of this, Zhongli let out a long sigh of relief. No wonder he always felt that there was someone missing next to him.

Speaking of which, the moment he heard the explosion, he subconsciously felt that the devil had arrived. It seemed that what he had just had was a dream about the war between the devil and the god.

Thinking of the Demon God War, Zhongli hesitated again. He always felt as if there was something unfinished about the Demon God, as if he had just talked about something about the Demon God with Barbatos.

Maybe what they were talking about was related to the dream he just had, but what exactly was he dreaming about?

It was okay if he didn't think about it carefully, but when he thought about it carefully, Zhongli felt a wave of uneasiness again.

In addition, there was a vague feeling that Barbatos should be next to him at this moment.

The more I thought about it, the more obvious my uneasiness became.

Zhongli immediately left the Hall of Rebirth and quickly arrived at the outskirts of Liyue. After confirming that no one was around, he rushed to Mondstadt with his divine power.

He always felt that there was something he needed to talk to Barbatos about.

However, as soon as he passed the stone gate, he noticed something was wrong with Mondstadt. The entire Mondstadt was an emerald green in the elemental vision, indicating that the wind element was floating wantonly.

So, he flew high into the sky and judged Wendy's location by looking for the place where the elemental power was most concentrated.

Soon, he locked the direction, which was to reach the Star Reaching Cliff.

When he flew there, he only saw Tevalin roaring continuously in the sky. Its voice was shrill and desperate, as if it was shouting to the sky, begging the gods in the sky for help.

When he saw himself, Tevalin suddenly flew over. He spread his wings and looked for help in his eyes: "Save him, save Barbatos, please."

Hearing this, Zhongli immediately let him take him to where Wendy was.

It was in a cave under the Star Picking Cliff. As soon as Zhongli ran in, he saw Wendy lying on a stone platform.

I saw that he was wearing a divine costume, his face was pale, his divine power and elemental power were almost exhausted, those red scars were all over his fair skin and white wings, and one of the wings was broken, drooping behind him. .

He was breathing hard, as if he would stop breathing any second.

Seeing this, Zhongli immediately ran over and picked him up, constantly trying to send him divine power, and kept calling his name "Wendy".

But he didn't have any answer, he just gasped hard and his face became paler.

While shouting, a scream suddenly came from behind Zhongli.

The voice sounded like Wendy.

So Zhongli immediately turned around to look for it, but there was only a long and narrow passage behind him.

When he turned around again, Wendy in his arms was gone.

At this moment, everything around him disappeared, leaving only boundless darkness.

And in the darkness, there was the faint sound of Barbatos complaining.

Zhongli ran towards the sound, and then suddenly woke up.

I saw myself lying on the grass, with the sun shining brightly around me, a gentle breeze, and the fragrance of apples in the air, a peaceful picture.

Zhongli pinched his own lips and relaxed after feeling the pain.

Fortunately, it's no longer a dream.

Wendy, on the other hand, was chewing an apple and complaining endlessly to the squirrel.

It can be heard from his words that he stayed here for a day and a night after coming out of the mine, but Zhongli never woke up.

Not only did he not wake up, he yelled "Wendy", which scared him so much that he bit his tongue while eating an apple.

Seeing this, Zhongli sighed and called "Barbatos" in his dry voice.

Hearing the noise, Wendy ran over immediately. Seeing that Zhongli was awake, a happy smile broke out on his face.

"As expected of me, the God of Wind! I can purify even that level of abyss pollution, and it's getting better and better!" Wendy didn't care about Zhong Li's voice that was now hoarse due to dryness, and was praising herself from the sidelines.

Seeing that he was so excited that he didn't care about himself, Zhongli felt helpless. He sat up with difficulty, looked at Wendy and said, "Is there any water?"

As soon as she said this, Wendy noticed that Zhongli's voice had become as hoarse as a crow.

Wendy was a little surprised. She pointed at him and opened his mouth and said, "Try saying 'the sky is moving and everything is moving' in this voice."

This obvious teasing made Zhongli sigh again: "Stop it, Barbatos, is there anything you can do to soothe your throat? Wine is fine, too."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Zhong Li said, this guy didn't immediately find him water. Instead, he was so amused by Zhong Li's crow voice that he rolled on the grass with laughter.

Normally, Zhongli might have felt that he deserved a beating, but after experiencing the dream just now, when he looked at the lively, talking and laughing Wendy, he felt more than relieved.

This false alarm feels so good.

Wendy soon had enough laughter, and while arranging her braids that had become messy from rolling, she said: "There is no wine or water, but there are apples."

At this time, Zhongli discovered that not far away, where Wendy was chatting with the squirrel, there were already a lot of apple cores piled up there.

I have to say that he really has a lot of apples, and the apples he chose are really delicious.

After taking the apple that Wendy threw to him, Zhongli also had a smile on his face. He looked at Wendy seriously and said in his crow-like voice: "Barbatos, fortunately, you are fine."

Wendy has never been used to Zhongli's direct speech. Normally, he would be a little stunned in this situation, and the next second, Zhongli would make a strange statement at him. This was a common pattern between them.

But at this moment, Wendy was not in a daze, but covered her face and lowered her head.

Zhongli was startled. Could it be that Wendy was moved to tears by such a sentence? No, Barbatos doesn't cry that easily!

But looking at his trembling body, Zhongli couldn't ignore it. Just when he was about to comfort him, Wendy turned around and ran away after saying something to calm him down.

Wendy ran to the side, and when Zhongli was hesitating whether to go over to comfort him, Wendy let out a shocking laugh.

Zhongli gasped and almost hit Barbatos' head with the apple in his hand.

But in the end, he breathed a sigh of relief and just laughed. This kind of life itself is very beautiful.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Zhongli's face, and he bit into the apple happily.
