Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

Ten o'clock in the evening, Wuwangpo.

As the entrance to the border, Wuwangpo is much more gloomy than other places at night.

The cold wind that blew from nowhere made Master Chang Jiu shiver from the outside to the inside.

Turning around, Master Chang Jiu was stunned for a moment. He saw Nan Dou and Hu Tao standing behind him, one on his left and one on his right, both with expressionless faces.

With the cold wind and dim light that had just blown, Chang Jiuye's brain as a novelist began to work rapidly. For a moment, strange fantasies such as impermanence taking lives and spirits confusing people flooded into his mind.

"You...you are human...or ghost?"

Master Chang Jiu's voice was trembling, and he pointed his finger at Nan Dou and the other man.

Nan Dou and Hu Tao looked at each other and inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

Hu Tao was in a playful mood and gave Nan Dou a wink, who immediately understood.

Facing Mr. Chang Jiu's questioning, the two men remained silent, kept the same pace and approached Mr. Chang Jiu step by step.

"Don't...don't come here!"

Master Chang Jiu suddenly saw blue flames coming out of the two people's bodies, and he was immediately scared to death.

"Ghost...ghost!"

Just when Mr. Chang Jiu was about to escape, he suddenly saw a strange yet familiar figure behind them.

"Little Nine Nine?"

"Run! There's a ghost!"

There was no time to think, and I didn't know where the courage came from.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Master Chang Jiu lowered his head and rushed towards Hu Tao and Nan Dou.

"?"

Nan Dou and Hu Tao looked at Master Chang Jiu in confusion, and each of them took a step aside tacitly.

“Slurp~Bang!”

With too much momentum, Master Chang Jiu successfully passed between Nan Dou and Hu Tao, but then he couldn't stop the car and fell to the ground.

"Nine...Brother?"

A childish voice came from above his head, bringing Master Chang Jiu's thoughts back to his childhood.

"Hi~"

Ignoring the multiple abrasions on his body, Master Chang Jiu endured the pain and half-climbed up, then raised his head and looked at the person he had been thinking about day and night.

That childish face and two pigtails were the same as when we last saw each other.

"Brother Jiu, is that you?"

The moment Xiao Jiujiu saw Master Chang Jiu's face, she recognized his identity.

"Little Nine Nine!"

Master Chang Jiu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, muttering, "This is impossible, this is definitely an illusion. After so many years, how could Little Jiujiu still look like a little kid?"

"Ninth Brother!"

Seeing Master Chang Jiu gradually losing control, Xiao Jiujiu shouted with some concern.

"!!!"

Master Chang Jiu finally calmed down, looked at Xiao Jiujiu with his eyes straight, knelt on the ground, and stretched out his hands to her tremblingly.

Xiao Jiujiu seemed to be worried about something, and when Master Chang Jiu's hand approached, she subconsciously dodged.

This actually strengthened Master Chang Jiu's determination, and he quickly hugged Xiao Jiujiu. Xiao Jiujiu had no time to dodge and was hugged.

air.

Master Chang Jiu went straight through Xiao Jiujiu's body and hugged himself.

"Sure enough, is this an illusion?"

Master Chang Jiu was distraught and sighed with his head down.

"Ninth Brother!"

Chang Jiuye regarded Xiao Jiujiu's calls as hallucinations and did not respond at all.

"Master Chang Jiu doesn't think that Xiao Jiujiu is just his hallucination, right?"

Hu Tao suddenly felt that Master Chang Jiu was a little pitiful.

Nan Dou felt the change in the water element in the air and frowned: "I'm afraid it's not what you think."

Hu Tao curiously came over quietly from the side, and after calling out to her many times without success, Xiao Jiujiu also went around from the side.

"Tick! Tick!"

The sound of water drops hitting the ground was very clear in the quiet night.

Xiao Jiujiu was surprised to find that her brother was crying.

"Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you? Brother Jiu, stop crying!"

Little Jiujiu rushed to Master Chang Jiu anxiously, waving her little hands anxiously, wanting to hold Master Chang Jiu's face and wipe away his tears.

But as a ghost, no matter what he did with his transparent body, it was in vain, and he couldn't touch Chang Jiuye's body at all.

Xiao Jiujiu wandered at the foot of Wuwang Slope for many years, never entering the border, nor absorbing anyone's yang energy. He relied entirely on the gloomy environment of Wuwang Slope and his own obsession.

She is considered the weakest among ghosts, and she may even disappear into the world soon.

It is for this reason that Hu Tao hopes that Xiao Jiujiu can fulfill her wish and see Master Chang Jiu again before she disappears.

“Wuwuah~~~~”

"Xiao Jiujiu, why didn't I find out earlier and come here earlier..."

Master Chang Jiu raised his head and looked at Xiao Jiujiu, whose body was transparent, with tearful eyes. He slammed his fists heavily on the ground. He was pierced by the broken stones and his flesh was bloody, but he was unconscious.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jiu. I was so absorbed in reading the book you gave me that day that I couldn't see you when I looked up."

"When I wanted to go find my ninth brother, I accidentally fell into the river. I finally climbed up, but the book was lost."

"So I jumped into the river again and found Brother Jiu's book. That was my treasure."

"I remember that day I floated along the river for a long time, the water was very cold... my hands were frozen..."

"But Xiao Jiujiu didn't let go of the book! He held it very tightly because Brother Jiu said the book was very important."

"Then I climbed ashore and wanted to find a place to dry the books."

"But Xiao Jiujiu was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he put the book beside him."

"I couldn't find the book when I woke up. I searched for it for a long time..."

"Xiao Jiujiu wants to..."

Xiao Jiujiu, who had been speaking seriously, suddenly paused. Her eyes became clear, an indescribable sadness surged into her heart, and countless memories began to emerge in her mind.

"Xiao Jiujiu, why are you so stupid? No book is more important than you. If you lose it, I'll just write one for you!"

"Brother Jiu... Brother Jiu, I have been looking for you for decades. I want to get rich, I want to become a great writer, I want your family to look up to me, I want you to see me."

"But now, what's the point of all that!"

Master Chang Jiu stretched out his bloody hands towards Xiao Jiujiu, but hesitated as he got closer.

Just when Hu Tao, who was watching from the side, thought he was scared.

Ignoring the pain, Master Chang Jiu wiped his hands vigorously on clean clothes, but the more he wiped, the more blood came out, and the bigger the wound became.

"Brother Jiu, please don't do that. It must be painful for you."

Xiao Jiujiu took a few steps forward and carefully held Chang Jiuye's face with her transparent hands.

Master Chang Jiu could not feel the touch of Xiao Jiujiu's hands, only a cool feeling on his face.

"Brother Jiu, Xiao Jiujiu has been waiting for you for many, many years."

"Xiao Jiujiu knew that she was dead, but she couldn't see Brother Jiu and couldn't return the book to Brother Jiu. Xiao Jiujiu was unwilling to leave."

Xiao Jiujiu's eyes were no longer as childish as before.

During the years since becoming a ghost, Xiao Jiujiu could often hear travelers who were temporarily staying at Wuwangpo talking about things in the outside world.

A ghost will remain at the same age as before death after death, but its memory will not. So many years have passed, and Xiao Jiujiu's mind is no longer that of a child.

Before, it was because Xiao Jiujiu’s soul was weak that she lost her memory and relied on obsession to act.

But now, under the stimulation of Master Chang Jiu, she remembered everything again.

"Brother Jiu regrets so much, so much!"
