Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

"Party?" Nanke struggled to speak.

"Yes, it's a party just for us!"

Huanhuan straightened up, took the hand of the little yellow-haired dog demon next to her, spun around beautifully together, and sang, "Disgusting humans, humans who can't even cultivate the fields, can't even cook delicious food." Human beings, be careful and protect such human beings until they are fifteen years old, and they can finally have a delicious meal of flesh and blood and soul!"

"After all, humans are born as food~" The little yellow-haired dog demon licked the corner of his mouth expectantly.

"I envy Yueyue so much..."

"That is to say, you don't have to take care of the humans who were born together..."

"Oh, because I was born under the moon, I named her Yueyue," Huanhuan leaned over to explain to Nanke. Halfway through, he ran to the side and hugged something over, lowering his voice to coax, "Yueyue, this is Nanke is the human who brought you back, do you still know her?"

Nestled in Huanhuan's arms was a white and tender baby.

The hair on the triangular pink ears is sparse, and the pupils are covered with a blue film.

Yueyue blinked at Nanke, stretched out her hand, and said "Wow" twice.

Young fingers touched his shoulders, and Nanke realized his situation belatedly.

The witch costume was stripped off, her hands and feet were tied, and she was placed naked on a stretcher. Brightly colored petals and fruits were scattered around her.

what.

What a particular pre-dinner ritual.

He didn't even have the energy to make an expression, so Nanke could only smile bitterly in his heart.

"Huanhuan, put Yueyue back, it's time for us to leave!" A younger dog demon patted Huanhuan's arm.

Nanke was lifted up by them, leaving the shadow of the eaves and heading towards the silent fields under a crescent moon.

"Asleep~ Human beings are all asleep~ It's time for a big meal~"

"Drown her with the tears of our ancestors first~"

"Let's work together to pull it out~"

"Leave the most delicious heart to your childhood sweetheart~"

"Swallow it deliciously while shedding tears~"

"Wait until the next dog is born~"

"There will be new food to grow together~"

Uneven singing echoed in the quiet night. Nanke was carried past the familiar houses in the Dog-eating Village. He couldn't help but curl up, trying to resist the encroaching chill.

When passing by the door of Huan Huan and Xi Xi's house, there was silence in the house with the lights turned off.

Does Xixi know that she is food?

Did you know that Huanhuan, whom you grew up with since childhood, would sing cannibal songs happily like this?

Nanke's mood was no different from that of the cold moonlight.

As the chatter of the melody fell, a dog demon walked and asked: "But, it seems that there is no fifteen-year-old dog demon in the village yet?"

"Should I be the oldest? I'm only thirteen years old."

"Then who will give Nanke's heart to eat?"

"I don't want it anyway. I have decided to eat Mingming's heart and get pregnant with his child."

"Wow, gross!"

"Don't you want to eat An An's?"

"An'an's heart is definitely unpalatable! Hey, Huanhuan," the little yellow-haired dog demon turned around and asked, "Do you want to eat Xixi's heart? How about I trade with you?"

"Ah?" Huan Huan was carrying one of Nan Ke's stretchers, and turned around and bared his teeth, "If you dare to have any ideas about Xi Xi, I will bite you!"

"After all, Nanke is just a snack, right? I don't know if eating women will lead to pregnancy." The dog demon on the other side quickly smoothed things over.

"Then leave the most delicious heart to the angry Black Steel!"

The little dog demons stopped. By the side of the silvery moonlit field, Heigang, the village chief and several other female dog demons stood in front of the well. They had been waiting for a long time.

The female dog demons looked sinister, and two of them had injuries on their bodies.

Heigang stared at Nanke with an expression that made him want to eat her immediately.

It was almost humiliating for him to be manipulated by humans to harm his own kind.

"Black Steel," the village chief squinted, "throw her in."

As the only human being present except Nanke, the village chief remained calm and unwavering in his expression.

I must have conducted this ceremony many times.

"Tie it tight. Don't do it like last time. If you throw it away, you can't pull it back." A female dog demon next to her added, licking the corner of her mouth.

Heigang snorted coldly, tied the hemp rope used to draw water from the top of the well to the knot that bound Nanke's hands, twisted it into a tight knot, then lifted her and threw her into the dark well.

The feeling of rapid weightlessness made me dizzy.

But he was immediately forcibly awakened by the cold well water pouring up from his toes.

Nanke couldn't help but raise his head.

The heavy water pressure squeezed the scarce air, and from the chest to the mouth and nose, a string of shining foam rose in the opposite direction to her sinking, toward the narrow mouth of the well where the silver moon splashed above her head.

The wound on his chest that had finally condensed felt sharp pain, and thick blood spread in the water.

Not working anymore?

How long will it take to sleep this time?

OK.

...No, it can't be done.

We haven't found the stragglers yet. If this continues, won't the memories of each other always... stay at the time when our backs were turned to each other...

Nanke held his breath and bent his elbows.

His teeth bit hard at the knot on his wrist.

please.

do not die.

She doesn't want to die yet.

……

It is not a white space.

In front of him is a dark and quiet bungalow bathed in moonlight. Similar houses are scattered on both sides of the field. Looking across, there are only ten households.

Strange scenery.

However, the familiar haunting mist and familiar woods in the distance indicated that she was still in the Dog-eating Village.

There was a tree next to him. Nanke wanted to help it get up, but it was in vain.

She turned her head to look at her hand that penetrated the trees, hesitated, and then looked at her body.

translucent.

I don’t know if it’s her problem or there’s something wrong with this space.

In short, my body no longer hurts, which can be considered a good thing.

Nanke walked towards the house in front of him.

In the middle of the night, a man's slight snoring could be heard in the house, as well as the sound of a child talking in his sleep and turning over. She walked in through the wall, and found a family of three squeezed under the thick quilt, sleeping peacefully.

"Hello?" Nanke tried to touch them, "Can you hear me?"

His hand went through it, but there was no reaction to her voice.

Nanke sighed and had to turn around and go out.

What on earth is this place?

She stood in front of the door and looked aimlessly, and unexpectedly saw a black dog under the eaves.

Needless to say, it is almost exactly the same as a smaller version of Black Steel.

Nanke stroked his chest to calm down and walked over.

The black dog didn't notice her either. He had a rope around his neck, his head resting on his two front paws, watching the sleeping master and his family behind him, and quietly looking at the fields.

Nanke hugged his knees and sat down beside it, and together they looked up at the round moon above their heads.

"Sorry, I'm not trapped here, am I?"

Her murmurs were covered by the occasional nocturnal birdsong, and the faint sound of wind suddenly brought an unusual breath.

The black dog stood up on its forelimbs, looked towards the woods in the distance, gritted its teeth and let out a low growl.

The thick night fog was disturbed, and the sound of heavy and lengthy breathing passed through the woods and gradually came closer.

Something came in from outside the fog.

The black dog took two steps forward and straightened the rope around his neck, but the rope was too short and he had to stop there.

The clear moonlight could not illuminate the intruder's body.

The monster with black aura around it looked around in confusion. It might be some kind of monster that had been eroded by evil spirits or the abyss. It had no sense left. It trampled on the crops in the field, looking here and digging there.

"So hungry, so hungry..." the monster repeated hoarsely, gradually approaching Nanke's house.

The strange shape under the moonlight is not huge, barely the size of an adult, but even so, standing in front of a mere canine, it looks very intimidating.

"Wang! Wang!"

The black dog tightened the rope around its neck and roared threateningly at the uninvited monster.
