Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

The man kept staring at the fox, and the fox suddenly raised its head and looked at the man as if it felt the man's gaze.

They stared at each other like this, as if they would stare at each other forever.

The always powerful Rock King Emperor was reduced to a background at this moment.

Fortunately, another background board member opened his eyes at this time.

Wendy subconsciously tightened her hand holding the fox, and then looked at the man in front of her: "Do you want me to think of a way for you to talk?"

There was no sleepiness in Wendy's eyes at this time, and she looked particularly energetic.

Seeing this, Zhongli couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Wendy looked at the depth of the smile in the man's eyes, and felt speechless when faced with Zhongli's Liyue-style polite words: "Oh, maybe my ears are better and I heard the sound of your fight."

Translated, I was woken up by you, and you still ask me?

As an old friend for many years, Zhong Li naturally understood the deeper meaning behind his words. He could only purse his lips and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry."

Wendy didn't argue with him, but put the fox down and walked up to the man: "Do you want to have a chat with it? Maybe, after a chat, you will have other opinions."

The man looked at the fox behind Wendy, and saw that the fox was also looking up at him, with expectation shining in his eyes.

It looked like the fox wanted to have a chat with him.

"Okay..." the man replied.

So, Wendy looked at Zhongli and nodded, and Zhongli withdrew his magical power.

Then, Wendy turned around and picked up the fox. The wind began to surge, as if it was going to sweep away all the dust in the past.

The feather-shaped elemental power on his body also fluttered around him, and a faint wing-shaped wind element appeared behind him.

The surrounding area also turned into a blue galaxy.

While the man was looking up at this situation, a gentle voice sounded behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Megumi Inagaki wearing the red and white clothes, looking at the man with a gentle smile in her eyes: "Long time no see, Hekia."

"You...you...why?" The man named Hekia looked at Megumi Inagaki, with surprise in his eyes.

"After I woke up, I turned into a fox and arrived in the reconstructed space. I had very little power left and could not communicate with you."

He obviously lost his consciousness due to the erosion of the abyss, but when he woke up, he suddenly found that his body was gone and he had turned into a fox.

Although he was also a fox demon, he was certain that this was not his original form.

However, Inagaki Megumi was glad that at least he survived, and the day he woke up was the festival.

It's just that after surviving this, every day is suffering.

He found that he was in a fictional world, and in this world it was being reconstructed every day, and the festival was being lived over and over again every day.

At that moment, he guessed who created this space.

He also tried to break it, but failed.

The power of a little fox is so weak that he can do nothing but repeat the ritual every day.

Fortunately, there is still a house left in that space. That house is something in the real world. If you get close to it, it will not be reconstructed.

As a result, Inagaki Megumi often lingered there, trying to find a way to return to the real world, which also attracted many foxes.

"I thought that if you maintained it for a few months, or even a few years, this space would end, but I didn't expect that you maintained it for hundreds of years. Hekia, this is burning your life..."

Inagaki Megumi looked at Hekia, her eyes filled with distress.

Over the past hundreds of years, he has used his life to maintain such a constantly reconstructed space, ultimately for the obsession in his heart.

And that obsession is Megumi Inagaki.

Hearing Inagaki Megumi's words, Hekia showed a bitter smile: "I just...can't...can't accept a world without you."

"I went to find An En, and I wanted to avenge you, but I couldn't find him..."

"I've been regretting it too, regretting why I left that night."

Hekia is a sea demon, and Inagaki Megumi is his only friend.

However, he doesn't have Megumi Inagaki's brains. He only has brute strength and a family of giant sea turtles swimming in the sea.

Therefore, Inagaki Megumi, as the god that people believe in, governs the village and maintains their faith.

And Hekia is responsible for protecting the entire island.

Of course, they are not just a cooperative relationship, but also old friends who have known each other for many years and are each other's only confidants.

That day, Hekia went to Narukami Island. The next day was Inagaki Megumi's birthday, and he wanted to give Inagaki Megumi a gift.

But when he returned to the island at dawn, he found that everyone had disappeared, including Inagaki Megumi.

Only his spear and the words he left behind were found: "Don't look for me, live well."

From then on, regret swallowed up Hekia, guarding a deserted island, and he felt like his breath was about to be choked.

Just when he thought he would die like this, he found the memory core of that day in the cave where they once drank and talked.

Through the core, he saw the truth of everything and saw Inagaki Megumi "died" in front of the shrine.

And this core was condensed after his "death", and he didn't know who condensed it. Maybe everything on this island was reluctant to let go, and everything on the island condensed itself into Inagaki Megumi's last "relic".

Hekia took the core away. He didn't want to see the defeated Inagaki Megumi that night, so he used his own power to condense a core, and spliced ​​the two cores to create a space.

He made everything in that space revolve around this spliced ​​core.

The other two cores were also placed on two virtual islands by him.

Later, he let this space surround the entire island, and he finally saw the lively village and the peaceful Inagaki Megumi in the space.

Despite only being reconstructed for a day, Hekia could feel that she had survived.

It lasted like this for two hundred years, and slowly, it became the only sustenance for his life.

He had no idea of ​​the end, nor did he know when it would end, as if this had become the only thing in his life.

"I...I didn't know you were still there. If I knew you were still there, I would definitely find a way to turn you back into human form...Inagaki..." Hekia looked at Megumi Inagaki with tears in her eyes, whose voice and smile remained the same.

In a trance, it seems that I have returned to the time when I drank and talked happily.

But now, things have changed.

Inagaki Megumi smiled and looked at the person in front of her gently as usual: "End it, end it all, let's all have a good rest and spend the rest of our time together..."

Hekia clenched his sleeves and looked at the person in front of him. Finally, he let go and showed a relieved smile: "Okay..."

……

The two of them had a good chat, and Wendy did not interfere, but waited with Zhongli.

"I have a guess," Wendy said while chewing an apple. "I guess Inagaki Megumi may have been turned into a fox by An En, and it is very possible that the memory core was condensed by An En. He may not want Inagaki that much. Hui died, but it’s true that he wanted me to die.”

Speaking of this, Wendy shook her head helplessly. She had no enmity with him, so why was he crazy? Just because he is one of the Seven Gods?

Thinking of the Seven Gods, Wendy smiled again: "He must still want you to die, Morax."

While saying this, Wendy patted Zhongli on the shoulder.

Wendy, who was about to discuss these matters with Zhongli, never expected that Zhongli would frown and ask very seriously: "Why are you eating apples again?"

"You want it too? No, did you listen to what I just said?" Wendy turned her head and looked at Zhongli.

"Hmm... Listen, it's really sad to miss it. If Inagaki Megumi hadn't turned into a fox, or if Hekia had paid attention to other creatures on the island, maybe they could have spent two hundred years happily."

The answer was so erroneous that Wendy couldn't help but cursed secretly: "You heard the devil!"

Just when Wendy was cursing vigorously in her heart, Zhongli let out a breath, as if there was a big stone pressing down on his heart, and murmured: "It's a pity, Hekia's life is probably only one day..."

"Huh??" Wendy turned her head and looked at Zhongli in surprise, the unfinished apple in her mouth almost fell out, "One...day?"
