Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

It's weird enough that three people have nightmares.

What's weirder than three people having nightmares is four people having nightmares.

After hearing what Vadier said, the three guys sitting on the ground immediately stood up. Shri Wen also put away his chuunibyou, and Wendy and Ziling also immediately made way for Vadier. .

They couldn't directly ask him what Anika dreamed about, they could only see what he would do next.

Wadiye walked past the three of them and walked to the door of a room nearby.

It was a locked room. Wendy and the others had noticed it a long time ago, but no one thought much about it.

After all, they were originally staying here, so it was normal for the host to have some things put away.

After Vadier opened the door and went in, Wendy glanced casually. There was a room full of bottles and cans, and she didn't know what was in these bottles and cans.

Wadiye picked a jar and took out some unknown yellow powder.

Then he locked the door again, hung the key on his waist, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Wendy and the three of them looked at each other in confusion. After he entered, the three of them followed him in in unison, squatting quietly by the door of the room and carefully eavesdropping on what was going on inside.

From the auditory point of view, Wadiye seemed to have helped his wife change her position, and then he did not know what he did, and then began to recite some spells with Anika.

He seemed to have deliberately lowered his voice, and could only hear the sound of chanting sutras, but the specific content of the chanting was really unclear.

The three of them looked at each other, feeling weird at the same time.

Imagine living in the wilderness, being awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. When you wake up, you see the host's house performing all kinds of strange rituals. This sounds like the beginning of a horror novel.

At this moment, Wendy suddenly discovered that the door to the room seemed not to be closed tightly, so she quietly opened it a crack, and the other two people immediately gathered around to observe inside.

The room was lit with candles. Wadiye turned his back to them and spread the yellow powder in a circle, while Anika sat in it.

At this time, Wadiye was kneeling behind Anika, with his hands clasped together, and the two of them were reciting something together.

This weird scene looked even more terrifying under the dim candlelight, and the bursts of chanting-like sounds made the three of them feel numb.

It was obviously a sound similar to the sound of prayer. The three of them all had the memory or experience of being a lofty god, and they had all heard similar sounds.

But in such an environment, they still felt that such a sound sent chills down their backs.

At this time, Ziling suddenly noticed that the key was placed on the table next to the door, where it was within reach.

He quickly patted Wendy and motioned for him to look quickly.

So, Wendy quietly took the key and closed the door back to the previous state. The three of them quickly exited the house and came to the corridor again.

"Let's go, let's quickly see what the yellow powder he sprinkled is, and then take a look to see if there is anything hallucinogenic." Sliwen took the key and hurriedly opened the locked door.

Ziling followed immediately.

As for Wendy, he originally wanted to follow her quickly, but suddenly slowed down, as if he was thinking about something.

He turned around, walked back into the house and looked at the ajar door on the other side of the corridor. For some reason, he always felt a little strange, but he couldn't explain why.

Everything seemed to be too coincidental, so coincidental that it felt unreal to Wendy.

Thinking about Sliwen's words, he suddenly became a little suspicious of Wadiye.

After all, it was just a nightmare for them, and his wife chose to have a nightmare today.

So, Wendy suddenly took a step forward and wanted to ask him directly.

After all, there are too many weird things, and they don’t know how long they will have to investigate on their own.

"Oh! It's actually realgar!" Ziling sighed.

His sigh also made Wendy stop, and she quickly turned around and ran to them, looking down at the powder scattered on the ground.

"Are you sure you're right?" Wendy looked at Ziling in shock.

Ziling nodded, took out a small bottle and collected some, then handed it to Wendy and said, "Maybe you can ask the emperor again, after all, he needs to know better."

Wendy took the bottle and looked at the powder inside.

If it were anything else, even if it was said to be hallucinogenic mushroom powder, Wendy wouldn't be shocked.

But this is realgar. In Liyue, people walking in the wild often prepare some realgar on their bodies to avoid infestation by snakes, rats, insects and ants.

In a place that believes in snake gods and regards snakes as gods, but preparing realgar, this feeling is like saying that I love you, but hiding a knife under the pillow, which makes people feel disconnected.

This couldn't help but make Wendy and Ziling think of the villagers in Wangyou's incident who kept talking about their faith and piety, but murdered their gods out of greed.

Could it be that the people here are like this too?

Respect the gods, but fear them? Longing for its blessings, yet fearful of his coming?

Or do they have more fear than faith?

But Wadiye didn't have realgar on him during the day. When he encountered the giant snake, he used other methods to make it leave.

As she thought about it, Wendy took a breath. Regardless of their attitude towards snakes and snake gods, this village was probably much more complicated than they imagined, or perhaps it was only the Wadiye family that was complicated.

"Lock the door," Wendy whispered.

Ziling immediately closed the door and used immortal magic to eliminate their traces.

Wendy used the wind to return the key.

"Let's go back and rest, and we'll leave as soon as daybreak." Wendy sighed helplessly. If Zhongli hadn't fallen asleep, he really wanted to leave right now.

At least the current circumstances are declaring that it is indeed not suitable for outsiders like them to stay here any longer.

"What about the virus?" Ziling looked at the two of them doubtfully.

"Go back and study. You are also considered to have a demonic constitution. Let's add up to four of them and let Bellis do the experiments slowly. We will eventually find a way." Shriwen said. It can be seen that he didn't think about this for a minute. Stay longer.

But this idea of ​​human experimentation was a bit scary, so much so that Ziling looked at Wendy with uncertainty on her face.

"You have to leave first anyway, and you can live longer if you don't care about other people's business." This is Fengshen's law of life.

So, the three of them planned to go back to sleep.

But at this moment, there was a "pop" sound, and the entire forest lit up, including the lights hanging above their heads on the door.

The three of them stopped. They felt as if three thieves had been caught stealing, which made them panic.

Wendy immediately opened the door faster, as if she was afraid that someone would find them here.

"Wendy...Wendy, look...snake." Ziling said with a trembling voice, as if she had been greatly stimulated.

Wendy turned around and looked in the direction he pointed.

On the giant tree opposite, the two houses with lights were closely connected, as if a giant glowing snake was coiling on the trunk, and the house close to the ground looked like a snake head.

They quickly came to the guardrail and looked down, and saw that the lights in front of the houses along the creek were also on, and they also looked like winding snakes.

At this moment, these lights form a huge "snake group" here, which makes people's scalp numb just by looking at it.

"Quick! Call Zhongli! We'll leave right away!" Wendy said eagerly.

For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy, as if if he didn't leave now, they wouldn't be able to leave.
