Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

The night was dark.

Su hugged a big pillow and sat on the grass, staring blankly at the starry sky projected from the outside world above the Chen Ge Pot.

The luminous lilies transplanted from the Guardian Forest swayed gently, and someone sat down next to her.

Kong, who was wearing pajamas, draped a blanket over the girl's shoulders and watched the twinkling stars with her in silence.

After a long pause, the girl spoke softly, "I was really happy today when I learned that he had defected from the Fatui with the Heart of God. Until I learned about the Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning."

Kong thought about it and thought that it was probably because Tianmu You was there at that time, so Su didn't mention it. When he could talk about it, he didn't know what to say.

For some reason, Su had a very deep obsession with that man and always wanted to bring him back.

Kong thought for a moment and asked, "Are you worried about the Thunder Five Transmission incident?" Kong knew that the girl was actually worried about something else.

Su: “······A little bit.” What actually worried her was that the puppet not only hurt Kong, but also indirectly hurt Manye.

Although Manye has a free and easy personality and bluntly states that he has no intention of taking revenge on the strange man.

Sora also took her feelings into consideration and never mentioned the harm done to him by the dolls at the Evil Eye Factory.

But if, if the doll continues to hurt the people important to her...

She didn't know what to do.

Sora nodded, "In fact, the incident with the Thunderbolt Five has convinced me that there is a chance that [Scattered Soldiers] can be saved."

Sue's eyes widened in surprise.

As if he hadn't noticed, Sora continued, "The incident of the Five Thunder Legends is actually related to the current situation of Inazuma. The Fatui's covetousness and conspiracy against Inazuma has been going on for hundreds of years."

The young man, who had traveled across many starry seas, possessed experience far beyond his apparent age.

Based on what Su told him about the past of Tadashi Sand hundreds of years ago, and the clues he found when he passed by Tadashi Sand, Kong was certain that the Fatui, led by the "Doctor", had been planning against Inazuma hundreds of years ago.

"Hundreds of years ago, the Doctor infiltrated the Tadashi Sand Cave in disguise and provided new technology to increase the production of tama steel. At the same time, he poisoned and murdered the local people and the Tadashi Sand Cave's leader, Niwa."

"About a hundred years ago, the Fatui modified the sword manual and deceived the swordsmith, causing the shrine's official to lose his job while obtaining the secret of Inazuma's most advanced weapons."

"In recent years, they have become even more rampant. As the Society Magistrates declined, they infiltrated the other two magistrates, causing Inazuma to fall into chaos."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Fatui unsealed the Great Serpent, allowing the Crystalline Bone Marrow to increase production uncontrollably. On the other hand, they completely seized the Tadashi Sand, stepped up production of the Jade Steel, and shipped all of it to the winter."

The Fatui soldiers guarded the furnace core that could explode at any time, and worked overtime to produce jade steel under the cover of the power of the evil god. It can be seen that the doctor does not care about the lives of people in other countries, nor does he care about the safety of his own men.

"The Doctor is evil and reckless without a limit, and has the patience to spend hundreds of years laying out his net." Sora sighed, "It is indeed difficult to escape when being targeted by such a being."

This is how the puppet became a prey to the fools' net.

"Su, why do you think General Lei Dian is unwilling to bestow the sword manual of Yi Xin San Chuan again?" Kong suddenly asked.

The sentimental Kage clearly wanted to give respect to the war criminals of the Kujo family, but he showed his harsh side in the Raiden Goden incident, and allowed Inazuma's sword-forging skills to fall without making any effort to remedy the situation.

Su thought of the Dream Yixin that Ying inherited from Zhen, and said with difficulty: "Because the sword manual of Yixin Sanchuan... is Zhen's posthumous work."

This is because it was not Ying who passed down the sword-forging technique, so it is impossible to reproduce the sword manual passed down by Yixin and Sanchuan.

And because that was the relic that Shin left for her, for Inazuma, Ying was so angry.

Su closed his eyes and opened them again. A figure wearing a bird-beak mask seemed to appear in front of him, and a blood-red fork had been smeared on his face.

On her must-kill list, [Doctor] immediately topped the list.

Sora returns to the topic.

"After Niwa's death, the Doctor deceived the puppet into thinking that he had been betrayed by Niwa. Under such circumstances, the puppet was still willing to enter the dangerous core shutdown device in order to save the survivors of the Takarasu sand."

"Hundreds of years after the puppet joined the Fatui, he was sent back to Inazuma to clean up the plan to take the swordsmith away. When he saw the ancestor of the Kaedehara family who had the same features as Niwa, he immediately remembered the person who "betrayed" him hundreds of years ago, and spared Niwa's descendants."

"You said that the puppet took the Heart of God and defected from the Fatui. No matter what his purpose was, our hope of bringing him back has increased."

Kong rubbed the girl's cold hands and guided her palms to his warm cheeks.

"I know you're afraid that Paimon, me, and our friends will be hurt by him. But don't worry too much about something that hasn't happened, and--"

"No matter how bad the situation is, I will always stand by you."

Su held Kong's handsome face in his hands, staring blankly into his golden eyes, feeling the warmth flowing through his palms into every part of his body.

The girl threw herself into the boy's arms, "I will definitely protect you, Paimon, and our friends."

She swore.

——*——*——

Deep underground.

On the cold stone platform was the disassembled body of [Scrapper]. Countless wires extended upward from his limbs with their joints opened, making him look like a puppet with strings controlled by fate.

"Ahhh, no matter how many times I see it, I will always be mesmerized by the precision of this divine creation."

The blue-haired man wearing a bird-beak mask held a syringe and slowly extracted the strangely colored liquid. "Although you are very good at enduring pain, the reaction of this reagent will be a bit violent..."

[Scattered Soldier] interrupted his hypocritical consolation, "Don't waste your time, [Doctor]."

Only when he feels the pain can he feel that he is "alive".

[Doctor] chuckled and pushed the liquid medicine into [Skirmisher's] spine.

The medicine took effect quickly. The liquid in the wire tube connected to the [Skirmisher]'s body began to boil as if it was ignited, and a "hissing" corrosion sound was heard.

The sounds of observers screaming and running could be heard from high above.

[Scattered Soldier] still had no expression, but the stone platform under his palm was scratched with deep grooves and stone foam.

"You have an amazing willpower, but in order for the experiment to proceed smoothly," the Doctor injected the prepared medicine, "please rest for a while."

[Scattered Soldier]'s long eyelashes drooped, and he stopped simulating breathing after losing consciousness. Without breathing and heartbeat, he looked like a completely inhuman being.

——*——*——

The little god trapped in the void terminal processing center seemed to sense something and reached out to catch a ball of dim light.

In Xumi where people rarely dream, she recognizes the dreams of every child who still dreams.

But the one in her hand was something she had never seen before. "Is it a new dream?"
