Inside the gorgeous Chinese building.

An exquisite doll lay quietly on the ground.

It closed its eyes tightly, like the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale, and seemed to be silently waiting for a prince to wake it up.

Time passed quietly, and no one knew how much time had passed. Finally, the puppet slowly opened its eyes.

The puppet slowly stood up and gently rubbed his dizzy head. When his vision gradually became clear, the familiar scene in front of him made him stand there in shock.

Looking around, I saw tall and straight maple trees standing in an orderly manner. Their branches were covered with bright and fiery maple leaves. When the breeze blew, the maple leaves swayed gracefully, which was a beautiful sight.

Between these maple trees, there are houses full of Japanese style, and the exquisitely carved window lattices add a touch of elegance to this beautiful scenery.

Everything is so beautiful, as if a colorful painting is unfolding before your eyes, making you intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself.

The puppet fell to the ground, his face pale, and he muttered to himself: "Is this... the Borrowing Scenery House?"

He clearly remembered that he and Kong should be inside the Red King's Mausoleum in the desert at this time.

"Is this a dream?" He couldn't quite tell whether it was real or not.

The past scenes come to mind:

Katsuragi, Niwa, Faint Men, Abyss, Heart of God, Sumeru...

Finally, his mind froze on the scene where Thor looked at him with disappointment.

It was a look of extreme disappointment, like a sword, piercing deep into his soul.

Suddenly the puppet laughed, a laugh that was both extremely unbridled and extremely desolate...

"Hehehe...hahahaha..."

He sat on the ground, laughing wildly, and his laughter echoed in the hall.

He started crying while laughing, and tears kept running down his face, soon soaking his clothes.

After a long time, perhaps because he was tired, the puppet stopped. He lay on the ground, staring at the beautiful but empty scenery in a daze.

Maybe it’s okay this way… No matter if this is real or not, no matter if this is a dream or not, just let it be, he is tired.

He now only wanted to stay in this empty palace forever, until his body was decayed by time, and then die here...

So be it, he thought, it’s better this way, at least without him, Katsuragi, Niwa and the others might be able to have a perfect life, right?

Thinking of this, the doll lay on the ground and stared at the beautiful ceiling in a daze.

Gradually, he gave up thinking and forgot about time, as if he was really dead...

Outside the museum where the scenery is borrowed.

“Is this where the God-forsaken Dolls are?”

A group of people in military uniforms looked at the ruins gate in front of them.

"Yes, this is the Pavilion of Borrowing Scenery."

"Alright everyone, get moving. Follow the Doctor's instructions and start weakening the seal left by Thor."

"I think everyone here should know clearly what will happen if we ruin the good deeds of the Doctor."

Everyone swallowed their saliva when they heard this and began to place the instruments in their hands on the ground to weaken the seal of the Thunder God.

Judging from what they said and the symbols on their clothes, they were obviously from the Fatui of Solstice.

They carefully operated the instruments and began to slowly weaken the power left by Thor bit by bit.

……

The puppet was lying on the ground. The whole Huaguan was covered with dust, and even his body was covered with dust.

He looked around at the beautiful but empty scenery with lifeless eyes, his eyes full of numbness.

The door of the Huaguan suddenly opened and a young warrior accidentally fell in.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts."

The young warrior stood up and rubbed the injured part of his body.

"I wonder when a Chinese pavilion appeared here?"

The young warrior looked at the slightly desolate mansion in front of him and walked in out of curiosity.

The puppet was lying on the ground. He heard a familiar voice and subconsciously turned his head to look in that direction.

A familiar figure appeared in his eyes.

"Guimu..."

The puppet murmured softly, and its originally empty brain began to think again.

When the young warrior named Katsuragi walked into the Huaguan, he saw a very beautiful scenery.

The fiery red maple leaves and exquisitely carved window lattices make it seem like a paradise.

In the center of the Huaguan, a doll with a delicate face was looking at him with his orange eyes.

"What a beautiful doll." Katsuragi thought to himself.

The puppet slowly stood up from the ground. His movements seemed a little slow, as if his body had not yet fully adapted to the standing state.

As he stood up, a breeze blew gently, lifting the corners of his tattered clothes and blowing away the dust that had accumulated on his body for a long time.

These tiny dust particles are flying in the air as if they were given life. They blend with the surrounding mist, making the entire space hazy and blurred.

The figure of the puppet is looming in the mist, giving people the illusion of being in a fairyland.

He looked a little dazed. He didn't expect that he would see his good friend again.

Although Katsuragi was a little surprised why the puppet could move by itself, he soon felt relieved. After all, this was the continent of Teyvat where even ghosts existed, and it was just a puppet with consciousness.

"Are you the only one here?" Katsuragi asked with a simple smile.

The puppet looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes. He had dreamed of this scene countless times.

He also thought that if he had rejected Katsuragi and not gone to the Tsubasa with him, would the tragedy have not happened?

The puppet came back to its senses, looked at the person in front of it and nodded.

He didn't dare to speak, for he was afraid that he would not be able to help but cry in Guimu's arms and tell him about the grievances he had suffered.

He was afraid that he could not help himself and would follow Katsuragi away again to live in Tōyasha.

Those were the only good times in his life. He really wanted to marry the people he loved and live with them, but he couldn't.

If he followed him to the sand, the doctor would definitely appear, and he could only watch the tragedy repeat itself...

Seeing this, Guimu said gently: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Do you want to leave here with me and live outside?"

He stared quietly at the puppet in front of him, with an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

The puppet's empty eyes seemed to speak of endless loneliness and sorrow, making him involuntarily want to comfort its wounded heart.

He smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm and kind as the spring sun, as if it could dispel all the haze.

At this moment, a ray of golden sunlight shone through the window onto him, covering his entire body with a faint glow.

This ray of sunshine is like a gift from God, making the whole scene particularly beautiful and sacred.

The doll stared at Katsuragi silently, its eyes revealing a feeling of intoxication and yearning.

In its eyes, the osmanthus tree at this moment was like an angel descending from heaven to earth, exuding a reassuring atmosphere.

The existence of Katsuragi gave the doll a glimmer of hope and comfort, making it feel unprecedented warmth.

At that moment, a strong thought appeared in the puppet's mind: agree to him!

The puppet lowered his head and suppressed the thought. He didn't dare to look at Guimu's eyes again.

He tried to speak in a calm voice: "No, no, I'm fine here alone."

Katsuragi was a little surprised to hear this, he could sense that the doll wanted to leave with him, but for some reason refused.

"In that case, I'm leaving." Guimu didn't think much about it. Since the other party was unwilling, he would not force it.

"By the way," he turned back to look at the puppet, "can you tell me your name?"
