Far away from Zhiqiong.

Even though the short film will not be released until tomorrow, Ying and Paimon actually got a sneak peek while they were resting on the way down to the depths of the Layered Abyss.

"Ah! I always thought that the short film was just for Keqing to promote safety rules? And to promote the delicious food made by the people of Liyue? It turns out it has such a profound meaning?" Paimeng scratched his head.

"Isn't it to promote courage, reunion, and human power?" Ying was stunned.

"That's right. The name of the short film is 'People'. What it specifically promotes will naturally depend on the public opinion offensive. Anyway, it covers everything." Jiang Yi worked very hard on the filming and even developed a set of editing software.

That night, I slept in Keqing's office and worked overtime together.

I don’t know whether scholars from other countries are aware of the “ideological export” in the jade slips, a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

"Let's go. Remember Jin Wu said that when the Abyss was evacuated after the anomaly, several miners did not have time to leave and disappeared in the Abyss. Find them and send them to the surface together with the Fatui!" Jiang Yi calculated the location of the miners by pinching his fingers.

However, it was the Fatui who found it first.

"Who else would it be than me!"

"Who else would it be than me!"

"Join us, and let the boots shake the earth like thunder. We will never abandon those who are willing to follow us to the White Night Pole Star..."

Three Fatui advance team members, their stomachs rumbling, weakly chanted slogans under the leadership of the "acting company commander" of the 9th Special Forces Regiment.

"Use the last of your energy and strength on slogans. We four hungry ghosts will soon fall into a deep sleep."

A member of the Fatui advance team looked at the "acting captain" with sarcasm.

"This is just a small setback and it can be overcome quickly!" said the acting company commander in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes! A small setback..." The Fatui members spread their hands.

There were exactly sixty-four people when they came in. By now, more than half may have been sacrificed or missing, or maybe less than half... Anyway, there are only four hungry ghosts left here.

Not long ago, if you counted them, there were still five hungry ghosts.

Now, apart from the monster emerging from the black mud, there was no one to be seen around.

This setback is really small.

"What a nice smell!" Suddenly, one of the Fatui sniffed.

"The smell of bread? And... the smell of milk?" another Fatui asked in surprise.

"Are you hallucinating?" The last Fatui sighed, "It seems not bad to die while smelling food."

"Milk and honey flow on the road where He walks. Richness and beauty come to the poor and hungry land. Kneel down and worship our God..." A vague voice came from afar, and the earth was filled with the fragrance of fruits and the sweetness of milk and honey.

"Your Majesty, Queen of Winter..." The three Fatui opened their eyes wide, looked at the food in front of them, and prepared to kneel down without hesitation.

A gust of wind prevented them from kneeling.

A god in white clothes, a golden-haired angel and a white elf appeared before my eyes.

“Although your ground troops attacked Liyue two years ago, your sacrifice in Layer Rock deserves this food.” Jiang Yi looked at Paimeng helplessly.

The previous words were shouted by Paimon.

"Hehe, I just want to see the arrogant Fatui humble themselves for once!" Paimon knew he was wrong.

"These Fatui are already very pitiful." Ying looked at the Fatui in front of him with sympathy.

"You clearly agreed just now. You were the one who made up this sentence." Paimon put his hands on his hips and looked angrily at Ying who was pretending to be innocent.

Ying blinked: "Don't talk nonsense, who heard it?"

"Who are you..." The acting company commander of the Fatui looked at the three people.

"No matter who it is, as long as we give you food, he's our good friend, he's an angel from heaven..." The other Fatui didn't care and started to wolf down the food.

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and most of the food disappeared. It was not that they were not going to give it to him, but people who had been hungry for a long time would have no sense of fullness and would eat without restraint and die.

"According to the decree of the Liyue General Affairs Department, you are under arrest." He opened his mouth and almost choked the Fatui who were eating.

"What?... Never mind! Being full is the most important thing." One of the Fatui just opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw people around him fighting for food, he immediately continued eating without caring.

"What do you mean?" Only the acting captain asked calmly, without even looking at the food.

"Two years ago, your colleagues on the ground attacked Liyue Harbor and the Qun Yu Pavilion..." Jiang Yi began.

"..." The Fatui all fell silent at once.

"I'm surprised, but I completely understand..." The acting captain seemed to know the style of his own Fatui very well. "When this place was first closed, we approached the Seven Stars of Liyue. I still remember... Lady took the opportunity to negotiate several trade agreements that were beneficial to both sides."

Ying and Paimon exclaimed “Ah!”

It’s been a while since I’ve heard from “Ms.

Ahem! Thinking that the other party had returned to the earth's circulation, the two of them hurriedly controlled their strange expressions.

"One of the additional conditions is that the Fatui advance team will enter the Stratum Chasm to investigate and eliminate the source of the mutation... All the information we obtain from the investigation will be shared equally between the Kingdom of Winter and Liyue." The acting captain looked at the dome on the cliff. "In the past, there were supply stations, and the Thousand Rock Army would transport supplies. I don't know when, but there is no more."

"I thought it was Liyue's betrayal, but I didn't expect it to be us?"

"When we set out, we received blessings from the citizens. Everyone thought... we were a heroic unit that sacrificed itself to protect others."

For some reason, his eyes were a little wet.

“This expedition has nothing to do with any petty calculations or conspiracies! We are here to protect the people of Liyue!” The captain’s words before departure are still ringing in my ears.

The other Fatui stopped eating and sat in silence.

Yes.

They had no conspiracy, but conspiracy came upon them.

"The catastrophe five hundred years ago was only the prelude to the war. The war against the dark enemy has been going on, and one of the battlefields is right under our feet. The dark disaster... is the eternal enemy of us, the people of Solstice." The acting company commander clenched his fists.

"It's an enemy that all people in Teyvat have to face..." Jiang Yi continued.

"No! It's different!" Acting Captain, "What we believe is... for five hundred years, the disaster has been lurking, and we will always remain vigilant. This is our philosophy of Winter Solstice."

However, soldiers from other countries did not regard this as the highest level of alert.

"Let's eat first!" Jiang Yi said to the acting company commander.

"Thank you!" The Fatui's acting captain sat down and ate bit by bit.

"Which executive's subordinates are you?" Jiang Yi suddenly asked.

"Eh? Do you even need to ask? Isn't it 'Madam'?" Paimon was puzzled. The young master didn't seem like the kind of person who would abandon his soldiers, so it must be Madam.

"No! We are the direct subordinates of the Winter Executive Officer, Lord Rooster..." The Fatui said, "In order to assist in more meaningful adventures, Lord Rooster will naturally abandon relatively low-value assets. This is his rationality. As his direct subordinates, we can completely accept this..."

“……”Ying and Paimeng felt a sense of cruelty.

So far, they have known and heard about many of the Eleven Executors of the Fatui, including the Princes, Ladies, Skirmishers, Servants, and Roosters...

Jiang Yi knows more, such as PhDs and rich people.

The Fatui intervened in the selection of the Seven Stars of Liyue and explored the secrets of Fusheng Technology Rune Company. There was the shadow of the "rich" behind it.

"Why don't you evacuate?" Paimon asked another stupid question.

"We are not deserters... deserters who bring shame to the Ninth Company..." The Fatui were more unanimous than ever before.

Yes, even if the command network was destroyed and all officers above the rank of lieutenant were killed or missing... there was no choice but to retreat. They would not leave, because their mission before they set out was to protect the people of Liyue from the Black Disaster.

But this task is not completed and ended.

Stubbornness that ordinary people cannot understand, the glory of a soldier.

Facing this group of respectable people, Jiang Yi naturally didn't want them to kneel down to him amid Paimeng's playful words.

"Deep in the rock layer, there should be several of your companions, such as the Thunder Firefly Warlock..."

He left the food he had collected earlier and said, "Eat slowly. We'll go up together later! I've already notified the Qianyan Army."

"You're not deserters, you're just arrested, right?"

Jiang Yi stood up.

"Excuse me, what is your name..." The acting captain of the Fatui stood up.

"Hehe, I haven't been out of the Abyss for two years. If you want to know who Jiang Yi is, you'll know when you get up there." Paimon put his hands on his hips, "I just called him 'God', and it wasn't a lie! It's just that he's a little different from the God you know."

Paimeng saw Jiang Yi and Ying leaving and hurriedly followed them.

The Fatui's acting captain sat down and looked at the bonfire and food in front of him.

The rest of the fools said nothing.

I just remembered a long time ago when I was a carefree child.

In the "Heat House", everyone played the piano, sang, and told jokes in front of the fire, looking forward to the Queen's gift to her brothers and sisters in the new year...

"it's over……"

The responsibility I carried seemed to have ended with my arrest, but why did my shoulders still feel heavy?

As Jiang Yi walked, he recited scriptures for the first time in a long time. Golden ancient seal characters and talismans swirled and drifted around, spreading up and down the rock abyss.

To transcend, to be reborn...

For all the dead souls and corpses buried in this earth.

"What we will eventually face is a common enemy and a long night from which there is no escape... Therefore, every drop of tears and blood shed by mankind for this cruel world is not in vain."

He is facing the truth.

"I am touched by 'sacrifice' now, and I want to save others because of witnessing 'sacrifice'. But I don't know if I will get used to 'sacrifice' in the future..."

He was slightly confused.

Guiding civilization towards the "stars and the abyss", individuals in civilization will eventually make sacrifices like this. He saves regrets and holds on to everything, but is this really possible?

Now, he can only save some people.

Is this selfish?

Just as said to Zhiqiong.

The dust of the times is like a mountain on an individual.

And the era is made up of these individuals.

"God sheds tears for all living beings, which is great compassion." Zhen said, "He cuts off the clutter of the secular world, just to reverse the entanglement of life and death. People don't really understand it, and they don't want to be seen through... This is the shadow of Wuxiang."

"You are walking a more difficult path than she is. She carries thousands of lights on her shoulders, but you carry even more."

The Wheel of Wishes with a Hundred Eyes is merely the wish of the Inazuma people.

Jiang Yi's Taixu Mirror Wheel now carries all living beings. It is a strength but also a burden. The joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of all living beings are transmitted to Jiang Yi at all times through time.

All moments of joy, all moments of anger, all moments of longing, all moments of madness, all moments of delirium.

Therefore, the Great God of the World can be called the most loving God. When He was abandoned by all the gods in the Abyss Palace, He was the only one who did not abandon Him.

Zhiqiong has someone who can enlighten and guide her.

And how many people can Jiang Yi, who stands at the top of all living beings, choose to confide in and guide him?

So, this was the choice made by Shin and Heulia.

It is a scary thing to have only one's own world without anyone to serve as a mirror... especially when Jiang Yi is so dark.

Only by looking out for each other can we resist "wear and tear".

Jiang Yi took a deep breath and re-firmed his resolve.

He stands above time and opens up a new era, so he should understand and bear all of this.

Just don't be like Zhidong's executive.
