Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

"What kind of dance was that? It was obviously a killing! Everyone was killed by an invisible, invisible force!"

When she said this, the woman was still trembling, as if she was still experiencing that nightmare night.

"I should have died in that nightmare, but...it was them..."

Invisible killing was going on in the banquet hall, and at this moment, everyone in the adventure group also woke up.

They wanted to escape, but they didn't know what the house was made of. They couldn't open the door, and the windows also became indestructible, as if they were protected by some force.

They fled frantically in the castle, but they still couldn't escape. The invisible killing followed them like a shadow, killing everyone in the adventure group one by one.

The Liyue woman in front of her was also running away frantically. She watched the people running around her fall down one by one. She was extremely frightened, but she couldn't stop because she would definitely die if she stopped.

Later, she stepped on the air and fell down the stairs. Her head hit the ground and she lost consciousness.

She thought she would die like this, but she survived.

When she woke up in a daze, she found that the Winter Solstice man was pressing on her.

She pushed him away with difficulty, then slowly got up, only to find that there was a solstice saying written on the ground where she fainted: "If you can survive, I hope you can take our suicide note and Take the results out."

Seeing this, she stood up and looked around the entire hall.

Everyone is dead, there is blood everywhere, it looks like a cemetery.

She numbly called out the names of her teammates, but no one responded. All thirteen corpses were already in the hall.

At this time, she tried to push the door and found that the door could be opened, but the heavy rain outside still did not stop.

So, she started to pack everything up. She collected all the notes, suicide notes, and the symbols they wore on their bodies.

Although she would die after going out, after last night, she would rather die on the way back with everyone's wishes, on the road of adventurers, than in the manor.

After packing up, she opened the door and turned her head to look at the thirteen corpses that she had arranged neatly. In a daze, she seemed to see the thirteen of them smiling and encouraging herself.

Finally, she pushed open the door and ran into the rain.

In the woods, perhaps the mysterious power there sensed that she was about to run, so it summoned many monsters to follow her.

When she was surrounded by monsters, she almost thought she was going to die, but she was not afraid of death, but unwilling to do so.

She hasn't taken it all out yet.

The greetings and thoughts from her teammates in their suicide notes have not yet reached her hometown, and she still wants to struggle.

Maybe her wish moved the god. Just when the monsters were swarming up, an ice-element God's Eye fell in front of her eyes.

When she held the Eye of God tightly, the ice element suddenly erupted, freezing the surrounding monsters.

She also took this opportunity to escape from the monsters.

Along the way, relying on the Eye of God, she did not get lost again and successfully arrived at Qiaoying Village.

After arriving at Qiaoyingzhuang, the rain finally stopped, and she finally saw the sun again.

At that moment, she just wanted to cry.

After hearing everything, Zhongli just felt a little stuck in his heart, with a feeling of loss.

"Can you show me your notes?" Zhongli asked.

She nodded and quickly took it out of her backpack and handed it to Zhongli.

Sitting in the teahouse, Zhongli read all the contents of the note and nodded: "It's very detailed. If anyone wants to find it later, they should be able to find it with this note."

Zhong Li's unintentional words suddenly seemed to have touched a nerve in her. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhong Li seriously: "What are you looking for? Looking for the manor!?"

"Huh?" Zhong Li didn't realize the current situation but nodded anyway, "I guess you won't be the first batch of adventurers, nor will you be the last batch."

"Is that going to die!" She suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly, "Toward the stars and the abyss? That is obviously going to the tomb and hell! Everyone, everyone is dead! Going there is no different from committing suicide!"

She held the cake that Zhongli bought her tightly in her hand and gradually crumbled it unconsciously.

She kept shouting. At this moment, she was no longer as full of longing as she was half a year ago.

"Girl." Zhongli called her with his divine power, and then calmed her down.

After she calmed down, she sat on the stool, staring blankly ahead, tears slowly flowing down: "They...are all dead..."

Later, Zhongli bid farewell to her;

Later, the names of seventeen more people were added to the history of the Adventurers Association, as well as several more notes.

These notes also support waves of adventurers searching for the manor.

But Zhongli didn't know whether he had found it or not.

For God, it is no surprise to meet anyone during these long years.

Therefore, the Liyue woman did not leave too many footprints in Zhongli's heart.

Zhongli was also quite curious about that manor, and occasionally went looking for it in his spare time as a holiday fun.

Of course, he couldn't find it.

Maybe because he is a god? Or maybe it's because he's not an adventurer.

However, during this period, Zhongli also collected a lot of information about the manor.

Among them was a massacre that occurred in that manor a hundred years ago.

It is said that the owner of that manor was originally from Zhidong, and later built a manor there.

The manor is said to be on the border between Liyue and Fontaine, but in fact most of it is in Fontaine's territory.

Therefore, this manor still belongs to Fontaine.

Later, at a dance a hundred years ago, no one knew who killed all thirteen people participating in the dance, and the children of that family also disappeared.

Some people suspected that the child killed the family, but the child was still thirteen years old and less than 1.65 meters tall.

Most of the dead people, even the women, were over 1.7 meters tall. Therefore, this statement cannot be considered valid based on the evidence.

It is said that someone originally wanted to continue the investigation, but was stopped by the upper management of Fontaine, so this became an unsolved case.

However, these are just rumors from the people of Liyue and Fengdan, and no one has confirmed whether they are true or false.

Because he couldn't find the manor, the story rushed through Zhongli's mind like running water, leaving no trace.

Until another ten years passed and Zhongli came to Qiaoying Village again.

After entering, he saw a group of adventurers gathering inside, and a Liyue woman who looked to be about thirty-five years old and wearing the Eye of the Ice Elemental God was hosting the party.

The content of this party is the same as ten years ago, looking for the lost manor.

It is worth mentioning the presenter, who still wears the clothes of an adventurer.

The moment Zhongli came in, they looked at each other and recognized each other almost at the same time.

So, after their party, the woman came to find Zhongli again.

"I didn't expect that your Excellency is still in the group of adventurers." Zhong Li looked at her and said.

Hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief: "I also gave up. After that incident, I went to deliver the things and returned to my ordinary life.

For ten years, I refused to hear anything about the adventurer and the manor, but despite this, I still felt empty in my heart.

Later, as you saw, these young children found me with the same sincerity as we did at the beginning.

I asked them if they knew what we encountered back then, weren't they afraid? Then, they showed their divine eyes. "

Speaking of the Eye of God, the woman couldn't help laughing.

"Huh?" Zhongli raised his head and looked at the woman in surprise, "Is it because of this?"

The woman smiled and shook her head: "Of course not, they convinced me and reminded me of the impulse of not fearing life and death when I was young. They also reminded me of 'towards the stars and the abyss'.

What matters is not whether I have reached the stars and the abyss at the end, but what matters is that I have persevered and moved towards it.

This is the original belief, even if I force myself to erase it, it is still engraved in my heart.

Not only that, there are some people who, even if I force myself to forget, still dream about them. "

"So, are you willing to set off again?" Zhongli asked, looking at the woman in front of him who was looking up out of the window as if she was looking into the distance.

She nodded, then looked at Zhongli firmly: "Yes, and I also want to bring them back. They must be really homesick."

When she said this, the fire of idealism was still burning in her eyes, just like it was ten years ago.

Therefore, Emperor Yanwang, who was planning to leave that day, still stayed until the next day.

Just like ten years ago, he watched the team go away.

Walking away together is the familiar slogan: "Toward the stars and the abyss."
