Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

The boat approached the shore, and a light fog had risen around it.

The mist was very light, so I couldn't see everything around me as clearly as I did on the turtle shell before.

But it also adds a bit of mystery to the entire island.

Speaking of which, this island looks a lot like a rainforest.

It was covered tightly by the forest. Walking deep in the forest, even if they were stepping on dry places, their clothes would soon be stained with moisture and become wet.

Zhongli carried Wendy through the forest, while Wendy listened to the wind, judged the expedition team's traces, and pointed the way for Zhongli.

Judging from the sound in the wind, the expedition team members are still in high spirits and everyone is very excited about this trip.

And the mustache was also constantly giving his speech. I had to admit that he was quite eloquent, completely different from the way he was trembling with fear in front of the two of them last night.

"I don't know what he is going to do, but don't disturb An En." Wendy murmured.

Soon it was getting late, and the expedition team set up camp on the spot. Wendy and Zhongli set up a tent in the distance and quietly observed them.

At this moment, everyone in the expedition team was eating and drinking, lighting a bonfire, playing around in front of the bonfire, sometimes singing together, and sometimes dancing around the bonfire.

This look is very similar to the group of adventurers "looking towards the stars and the abyss" that Zhongli encountered before.

However, the composition of this team is complex, and it is unknown how many people have strange thoughts in their hearts.

"Did you observe anything?" Wendy asked, looking at Zhongli who had been standing there watching the group of people.

"No," Zhongli replied calmly, "I'm just thinking about a question."

"What's the problem?" Wendy asked, stirring the pot of True Aeolian chowder.

He looked at the seafood that he had put in Ziling's Qiankun bag, thinking about whether he should add some secretly, and then observe the changes in Zhongli's expression. Maybe he could also contribute to the development of medicine for Meng and Liyue.

But after thinking about it, let it go. It was indeed not easy for the old man to carry him all the way.

So, he took back the seafood he took out.

As soon as he took it back, Zhongli turned around.

Fortunately, Wendy moved quickly and didn't let him see her little move clearly.

Wendy also looked up at Zhongli as if nothing had happened, waiting for him to tell him what he was thinking about.

"I was wondering what the bitter smell mixed with the rouge was that you smelled in front of that mustache earlier. I think the reason why he chased us must have something to do with that rouge." Zhongli sat down opposite Wendy , staring at the soup in the pot, as if observing whether there are any impurities in the soup.

But in fact his thoughts were not on the soup at all.

According to Wendy, the reason why the mustache noticed them was because Wendy muttered "big men rouge" under her breath.

Therefore, Zhongli guessed that there must be something wrong with the faint bitter smell that Wendy smelled in the rouge box.

In Zhongli's opinion, that thing was probably medicine.

But it must not be the medicine he took himself, otherwise there would be no need to disguise himself in the rouge box.

Therefore, it can only be a drug given to others.

When he took it out and displayed it in front of Wendy, it was to test whether Wendy was aware of it.

And Wendy's step back made him think that Wendy was aware of it and wanted to silence them.

Well, that's a reasonable guess.

"If you say that, I find it very strange," Wendy looked at Zhongli with a half-smile, "The shadow of this castle appeared on a thunderstorm day, but even though there is fog now, it doesn't look like a thunderstorm day at all."

Hearing this, Zhongli raised his head and looked at the sky that was covered by the shade of trees but still showed some light.

Sure enough, there are stars.

It will still be a sunny day tomorrow.

"So, if Mustache is the convener, his target may not be that castle." Wendy raised the corners of her lips and looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli nodded and said "hmm", then looked at the group of expedition members.

At this moment, they are still laughing, singing and dancing, celebrating the beginning of their action.

The mustache was even more excited. He happily drank the wine he brought and walked through the crowd, clinking glasses and hugging everyone.

He was very enthusiastic, but his enthusiasm was a bit too much. It didn't seem like the joy of getting together, but more like the excitement of finally reaching the other side after going through hardships.

At this time, Zhongli also noticed that he seemed to clink glasses with everyone.

"Their wine may have been spiked with something, do you want to take care of it?" Zhongli turned his head and looked at Wendy.

He made a contract with Mustache and would not interfere.

So, it just depends on whether Wendy wants to take care of it or not.

"Do you want to take care of it?" Wendy looked at the group of cheering people in embarrassment, "They have all drank, and there is nothing we can do unless we use divine power."

But compared to the mustache, Ann is more important to the two of them.

In order to save a group of people and let go of a demon who obviously wants to kill them, this is a choice that outweighs the gain and loss.

Both of them have been rulers for thousands of years and have experienced wear and tear. Naturally, they will not sacrifice the small for the big.

"Then let's pray together that Mustache doesn't mean to kill them. It's because we guessed wrong." Zhongli said calmly.

Although they are rational, they are not cold-blooded, and naturally they do not want to see any tragedy happen.

……

The carnival of the expedition team lasted for a long time and slowly quieted down until late at night.

Since Wendy could sleep on Zhongli's back during the day, the task of keeping watch at night was given to him.

Sneaking in secret, he couldn't play the piano, so he could only sit on the recliner and rock, humming quietly.

Just then, through the wind, he heard the sound of someone getting up in the direction of the expedition.

If you listen carefully, it should be a woman.

Since it wasn't the mustache, Wendy didn't care much and continued to lie on the rocking chair and hum a song.

But at this moment, a scream sounded, and the sound was from the direction the woman left.

The scream was shrill and loud, and Wendy could hear it clearly without the wind. This made him feel nervous. He quickly stood up and slowly moved behind the tree to observe.

The woman fell to the ground, looking in front of her, and kept moving back, as if the person in front of her was a guy who terrified her.

However, upon closer inspection, standing in front of her was another girl from the expedition team.

The girl seemed to be controlled by someone, mechanically holding a dagger towards the woman in front of her, as if she was about to stab her.

Seeing this, the woman who had fallen on the ground quickly stood up, turned around and ran towards the team.

The girl also walked over slowly with a dagger in hand. Under the firelight of the camp, she showed a strange and terrifying smile and continued to chase the woman.

The woman screamed for help, which also woke up other people in the camp.

They came out of the tent and saw the girl holding the dagger. They quickly threw her to the ground and took the dagger from her hand.

The girl was seen struggling continuously, with a ferocious smile on her face: "All of you must die! All of you must die!"

Then, the crazy laughter echoed in the forest.

For a time, an uneasy atmosphere spread among the expedition team.
