Genshin Impact: Report to the Emperor! Xiao Shen is creating people again

...

The broken consciousness returns little by little.

When Shen Qianluo looked up into the distance, endless flying snow fell onto the ice field one after another, silently shattering into white clusters.

The sky was bloody and vast, and in the distance, where the snow-capped mountains were, there was a huge beating scarlet heart.

He was standing on the edge of the cliff and when he turned around, he saw a group of familiar people sitting in the cave.

The lively Paimon, Sora who raised his hand to paint, Albedo who was watching from the side, and Klee, Bennett, Eula and Amber who were laughing and talking not far away.

It was as if everything I had just experienced was just a ridiculous dream.

Everyone rested and adjusted in Albedo's camp. They did not encounter an avalanche or go missing, nor did they hear any strange noises or be dragged into space by the dragon.

“…Illusion?”

His eyes changed slightly, and Shen Qianluo made an ambiguous sound. In his field of vision were not-so-fine spatial particle fluctuations.

He actually played an illusion in front of him, the ultimate boss (Qian Xiaoluo's self-proclaimed name) who used the power of space as one of his special weapons...

The dragon doesn't want to live anymore?

However, Paimon's call soon came from behind: "Qianluo, let's follow our plan and start to act."

Shen Qianluo:?

Wait, a plan?

The boy finally remained silent for a moment and blinked innocently.

Does the illusion of the dragon Durin have its own story background? And... the people in front of me are indeed the real ones, including Albedo who disappeared in the avalanche.

Standing on tiptoe, Shen Qianluo approached Albedo's drawing board, on which was an elegant Pi Mona Lisa.

"Let's use this painting as a signal to distinguish the real from the fake." Paimon commented, "After all, no one would have thought that such a beautiful painting was originally created by Qianluo and the Traveler..."

"it turns out?"

"It's obviously pretty good, right?"

Not knowing the truth, but feeling offended, Shen Qianluo's eyebrows jumped, and he and Kong looked at Paimon, who was protecting his chest and moving back one centimeter, with one eye higher than the other.

But Paimon refused to give in: "But, but, your painting has smooth lines and professional layout, why did you draw my expression so stupid! That look is completely soulless!"

Albedo showed a slightly shocked expression: "... Smooth? ... Professional?"

Sora said matter-of-factly, "Art comes from the heart, so, Paimon, you are special in my heart."

"Even if you say so..." Paimon crossed his arms and looked away, "I'm a little bit unconvinced, but I can't seem to refute it."

Shen Qianluo blinked, and could probably imagine what it would be like when he and Kong teamed up to create a masterpiece.

...It must be a Paimon with a look of wisdom in his eyes, put into a pot and simmered slowly on the edge of the pot.

It was like redrawing a picture. Albedo humbly said, "I just used their paintings as a basis and added some small embellishments. If you want to thank someone, thank the Traveler and Qianluo."

"That's great. I have my own portrait now. Although it's a tool to prevent everyone's soul from being sucked away by Durin and used to identify the authenticity, the more I look at it, the more I like it, hehe."

Soul? Real or fake? Can a body with a soul taken away still have the ability to move?

Shen Qianluo lowered his eyelashes thoughtfully. He felt that his experience was interrupted. He roughly guessed the direction of the plot. He raised his head and smiled obediently: "Before I leave, can I take another look at everyone?"

"Well, when you act, you must pay attention to safety."

He met Sora's gaze and nodded seriously, "I will."

It seems that the tentative guess is correct...

The boy frowned slightly and walked towards the cave.

They were all trapped in the illusion at the same time and remained somewhat sober. They also made an unknown plan, but they did not bring along the four companions who were chatting and laughing beside them when they discussed it. The latter also did not pay attention to their movements from beginning to end.

This is too abnormal, unless...

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Qianluo. Just leave this to Keli."

Hearing Shen Qianluo's undisguised footsteps, Klee in the cave was the first to look up, and the voices of Bennett, Eula, and Amber beside her who were talking and laughing suddenly stopped. When the machine turned its head, its expression was a little dull, and there was no light in its eyes.

It's flesh, without soul, and Klee is taking care of them.

"Sister Keli..." Shen Qianluo continued to speak tentatively, "Everyone will be safe, and I will definitely defeat the dragon."

"With brother Albedo, brother Honor Knight, and the big singing brother here, we can definitely defeat her! Ah, but kids, don't act on your own, follow the plan!"

"Hey——Sister Kelly is so strict."

"It's just to ensure everyone's safety. Don't play around. You have to... uh - what's the word? Oh! The overall situation is important!"

At least so far, Klee, who has transformed into Jean, has not realized that she has transformed into Jean.

After getting the information, Shen Qianluo lowered his head and tried to analyze the situation, but he was still a little annoyed.

Albedo disappeared in an avalanche because he had anticipated that Durin would also attack Klee. He entered the illusion first to investigate the situation, so he was able to rescue the girl in advance in the current complicated situation.

In the next plan, based on everyone's attitude, he, Albedo, Sora and Paimon should act separately.

Well, whether it was Albedo who knew some of his situation, or Sora and Paimon whom he had just met, they were willing to let him act alone, which must be because they believed that he had some ability to respond to crises.

His current disguise is just an ordinary little demon. We cannot rule out the fact that Albedo revealed some information that led them to trust his combat power, but the most likely scenario is that there are teammates waiting for him to act together ahead.

For example... a certain disappeared wind god?

As Shen Qianluo thought about it, the light in his bright and clear eyes dimmed.

With the child's thinking, it has already become confused and dazed, and it is impossible to analyze any more valuable information.

Well, but I am so unwilling.

...He always had a feeling that he seemed to have missed something.

Well, a little bit angry.

Just a few hundred million.

So Qian Xiaoluo, furious, set off with a black tasseled spear that was taller than him, and headed straight for the huge heart that was as big as a snow mountain according to his original plan.

On the way, he met a jumping Du Lin.

They were probably clones, not very powerful. Judging from the energy flow, there was one clone for each person in the illusion. The red-haired girl was about the same age as he was now, and she looked at him with great joy.

"Beautiful creature, play with me."

Tilting his head, Shen Qianluo smiled harmlessly: "Okay, sister, what shall we play?"

"Can we really?!"

He saw that Du Lin's eyes lit up, and he cautiously and hurriedly agreed to him, as if he was afraid that he would regret it the next second, "Then let's play hide-and-seek. The winner of the game will be rewarded with the privilege of sacrificing delicious souls, okay?"

Treating the sacrifice of souls as a kind of honor like a reward, the winner must die, Du Lin's eyes were excited and cheerful. The steps that approached Shen Qianluo step by step became more gloomy and bloody, and the poisonous fog rolled.

But those who played with girls would always be reduced to ashes by the humus poison the moment they were caught, so Du Lin never won.

This is almost an unsolvable dead end.

"Please hide well. If you are found..."

"Okay, then sister, hide quickly."

Du Lin:?

Shen Qianluo smiled brightly and innocently: "Please hide well. If I find you, I will take away your qualification to sacrifice your soul."

So, he never saw this Durin clone again.
