Genshin Impact: We have to find a way to abduct people.

"So - let's start with the story of heaven."

It was a huge manor. The manor started out as a land where only seven kinds of flowers grew. Later, a manor owner came, and a manor was built here.

To decorate his house, to enrich everything he sees, and to make everything orderly. The number of owners of the manor increased by four. The owners of the manor cleaned and trimmed the original flowers and plants, fenced the edge, planted seven trees on it, and raised a group of rabbits.

Over thousands of years, the tree slowly grew and bore fruit, bringing cover and vitality to countless rabbits.

They are happy for the prosperity here and happy for the persistence of the trees. Surprised by the number of rabbits.

Snakes are the product of accidents, because death, sorrow, illness... are products of life.

He is part of the fruit, part of the tree, part of the manor, and part of the manor.

Originally, the snake had been kept in the house. The snake is not a snake at all, because the sound of snakes moving on the ground is quiet enough, its limbs are soft enough to break free, and it can form a camouflage when climbing trees... So, one day, the owner of the manor looked at the empty chains on the ground and became angry. The punishment was imposed - to remain in the form of a snake forever and never leave the manor. As long as they are discovered, they will be endlessly obliterated.

However, as long as death and pain exist in this world, snakes will remain immortal. He ran away from the house again and again, and was killed and brought back to the house again and again, endlessly. After all, there is no end in sight. In the manor, no matter how disguised or identical his existence is, one day he will be discovered by the manor owner.

Finally, by coincidence, the snake discovered that as long as it reduces its own existence first, like an ouroboros, bites off its own body, injects venom into its heart, and exchanges death and blood, it will immediately usher in a new life. , will not be taken back to the house, but will wake up on the carcasses of rabbits somewhere.

This is "shedding", this is the crime and punishment.

That was the price He had to pay to escape the house.

Brand covered Wutong's eyes with his hand: "You are the rabbit who knows the future direction of the manor, but there is no gray rabbit in the manor. However, I am a black snake. Gray plus black, isn't it black? I need you, and you You need me just as much.”

"..."

"As for the underground world, it is the world of ants. Haha, let me tell you this part next." A kiss. Brand lowered his head and kissed Wutong's closed eyes through his palms. The subtle feeling is not even as big as the movement of the opponent's eyelashes touching the palm of the hand, like leaves floating in the wind, barely stopping on the water, leaving circles of ripples: "I wish you a sweet dream. Wutong, we The first wish has always been to go home. From the beginning to the end, it has never changed."

May we leave Teyvat, may we go home.

-------------------------------------

After leaving the consciousness space, Sora and Paimon told everything to Yae Shenzi. As for Wutong and Shadow...

At the moment when he fainted, the shadow closest to Wutong was the first to grab the opponent's back collar with his backhand, and caught the swaying and falling person in time, saving Wutong, who had closed his eyes and resigned himself to his fate, from being thrown headfirst. It will end up with a big bump or broken skin and bleeding. Immediately afterwards, Ying reacted quickly and put one hand on his shoulder.

Later, because of the narrative, Ying didn't mention it or take action, saying that he wanted to return Wutong to Sora, so he kept it like that.

"No matter how you think about it, it is unbelievable. The current Kage personally planted the sacred cherry tree in the consciousness space, and it sprouted in the past Inazuma..." Yae Shenzi tasted it for a long time and marveled.

Shadow: "These are all due to the power of truth. She has a deeper understanding of eternity than I do. Eternity is a concept closely related to time. Once eternity is touched, the concept of time will become blurred."

There is something Sora doesn't quite understand: "I saw a wonderful sight when I entered the space. Time is both moving forward and backward."

"Time itself has no meaning, and it cannot be explained by common sense... It turns out that this is the turbulence I feel. Perhaps, this is the reason why you can successfully return to this time node. However, the sense of disorder has completely disappeared ." Shenzi glanced at the side, his soft cheek pressed against Ying's hard shoulder armor, his eyes were closed tightly and his breathing was almost shallow, Wutong frowned, feeling strange.

Ying also glanced along: "I can't fully understand it yet. But my intuition tells me that the root of everything...is that seed."

"I think, just relying on real strength, maybe..."

"I understand what you are thinking. Maybe there is really a higher-level power involved. But in any case, her method protected all of us at the last moment. If there were no sacred cherry trees, Ina Wife might have died hundreds of years ago. It was completely swallowed up by disaster and filth years ago.”

Yae Shenzi sighed silently: "I know you have a wonderful perception of the sacred cherry tree, but to me, the sacred cherry tree has always existed. In the past, you wanted to prove to me that this sacred cherry tree is related to the real consciousness space. , it’s a pity that it didn’t work out, right?”

"Well, now I understand. Because the sacred cherry tree hadn't even been planted yet."

So, it’s equivalent to first effect and later cause? Future causes constitute past effects? Is this allowed, but it seems that the logic is closed... After Sora asked the question, he remained silent the whole time, thinking silently.

Paimon had been looking at this tree for a long time. Finally, after Shenzi and Shadow had finished chatting, he raised his hand: "But, don't you think that tree looks very different from what it looks like now?"

Shenzi took it as a matter of course and put his hands on his hips: "The sacred cherry tree is planted on my property. Of course it must be pruned according to my taste."

"Uh... you're so overbearing..." It made sense but not much. Pamon couldn't refute it and muttered.

"I'm kidding. This tree has gone through a lot since it sprouted. Thanks to the fox's careful care, it can look like this now. It has nothing to do with me." If there really is a fox tail behind it, this will My son might have been happy to get rid of it. The evil Son of God squinted his eyes: "You left and entered the space again. Logically speaking, the interval was very short, but the fierce battle inside has been going on for hundreds of years, right? If I guessed correctly... when you were going It must be like I said, you have been silently reciting your heart's wish, right?"

Sora nodded: "Of course."

The smart Miss Fox twitched her ears: "At that time, I sensed the location of the shadow, and also noticed the change in time inside. If time is also one of the factors in pursuing what we want, then just knowing the location is not enough. "
