Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

The intense light from the window drowned everything.

Then there was a loud noise, like the chirping of birds magnified a million times.

It only sounded for a moment, and after a moment, the whole world was extremely quiet.

what happened?

Nanke got up and wanted to go out to see the situation in the village. He had only taken half a step when he was pulled down by a skirmisher and hit his hard chest from behind.

The skirmishers held her tightly from behind and did not allow her to leave.

The puppet's rhythmic breathing kept falling on her ears. Nanke turned around in shock and saw the skirmisher's expression tense and his lips opening and closing rapidly, but she could not hear any sound.

Nanke understood.

It’s not that the world has gone quiet.

But she couldn't hear.

What followed was a huge wave of shock that could be felt even if one lost his hearing, as if it swept over everything in the world.

There was only one crushing wave of huge power. After that, the light outside the window gradually faded and turned into a more violent and raging thunder.

The ears temporarily deafened due to the impact slowly recovered. The tinnitus was mixed with constant thunder. Nanke heard the voice of the skirmishers: "...the remains of the barrier."

"What?" Nanke asked with a trembling voice.

"Asase Hibiki has broken the barrier of the devil's remnant." This time, the skirmisher's words fell into her ears clearly.

Nanke felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and his whole body was cold.

The disaster that Asase Hibiki personally brought to Qinglai Island still happened.

why?

Her ears began to replay the words Asase Hibiki had said to her before they parted.

——Farewell, Nanke.

——Okay, I will make my own judgment on my matter.

——Nan Ke, tell me, is it the shogunate or the Qing Lai people that has put me in this dilemma?

Is this the final result of Asase Hibiki's thoughts?

"The country is collapsing." Nanke propped up his body and looked back at the stragglers. His black and white eyes were wide open, as if he was about to lose control of something in the next second and burst out of the embankment. "Let's go and take a look." The village…”

The skirmishers listened carefully and saw that the aftermath of the power outside the house was weakening wave by wave, and the ubiquitous thunder covered up most of the movement.

"Okay," the skirmisher pulled Nanke up, "but don't let go of my hand."

Like Koshiki Village, their barrier here had already passed through the hands of Hibiki Asase.

What is incredible is that, outside the barrier, thunder and lightning are rolling, and black monsters are everywhere, but inside the barrier, it is surprisingly peaceful and not affected at all.

The skirmishers pulled Nanke out and stepped over the corpses of monsters into Yueshi Village.

Compared with the bleakness outside, the village is a pure land.

Nothing is broken.

Cocks crowing and dogs barking, young children crying loudly, women from every house hurriedly stepped out of the house, shouting to each other at the top of their lungs with their neighbors, it was noisy and lively.

Nanke suddenly understood.

What else don’t you understand?

This is probably what Asase Hibiki wants.

Regardless of the righteousness of each person's opinion, all the evils are forcefully wiped out, and only the blessed ones can clean the earth safely.

This is what a witch should be.

Punishing evil and eradicating evil, ignoring sacrifice, being absolutely impartial... can be called ruthless.

Regardless of whether we are facing natural disasters or evil spirits.

Or a man-made disaster.

Nanke tried his best to hold the hand of the skirmisher, his shoulders curled up, and he finally couldn't help but lower his head, bit his lip, and cried silently.

A bamboo hat fell on her head.

The soft gauze that fell firmly covered Nanke's crying face.

Nanke and the skirmishers did not leave, but stayed in the village to calm the villagers' emotions.

The thunderstorm outside seemed to never stop, the dark clouds in the sky were thicker and heavier, and not even a trace of skylight could leak through. Only countless monsters bred by evil spirits fled in terror under the thunder, and their terrifying scarlet eyes were everywhere.

Unable to leave the village, the villagers gathered silently and spontaneously lit a bonfire at the entrance of the village.

He said that the returning soldiers should be able to see the direction home.

Even if someone does survive, how many people can survive the dangers outside and come back here?

Nanke didn't say anything because she was also waiting.

When the situation outside stabilized, she left the village and went to the battlefield.

At least, you have to take care of Asase Hibiki’s funeral with your own hands.

After about a day and a night.

"Hey! Look over there!" The women gathered at the entrance of the village suddenly became commotion and shouted in surprise, "Is there someone over there?!"

Nanke and the skirmishers were guarding the barrier on one side and looked over after hearing the sound.

Among the surging monsters, a white figure moved flexibly through them like a flying arrow, aiming towards the bonfire burning at the entrance of the village.

The monster that jumped was knocked away, and countless monsters clung to the opponent's back, and they were about to be overtaken.

The shadowed faces became brighter one after another, shouting and waving through the translucent barrier: "Here! Here!"

Who could it be? !

Possessing the strength to fight against evil spirits, I returned here alone...

A pair of arms waved excitedly, blocking his sight. Nanke couldn't help but walk towards the crowd, wanting to see more clearly, but a skirmisher suddenly grabbed his arm and reminded him coldly: "There is no way Asase Hibiki can come back alive."

"I know," Nanke clenched his fingers and said in a dull voice, "But..."

It’s human to have unrealistic hopes.

The skirmishers frowned and were about to say something else, but suddenly the villagers exclaimed in unison, a road was opened in the middle, and white shadows that were too fast to stop in time flew in like flying close to the ground.

The white cloak raised high behind her, the black short coat, and the blood-stained one-handed sword are not a miko, a pirate, or a shogunate.

The skirmishers dragged Nanke back and flew forward to attack.

"boom"!

The dust on the ground stirred up, there were several clanging sounds, and a purple light of thunder elemental power flashed through, and both sides bounced off to both sides at the same time like flying bullets.

The skirmisher squatted and stopped with his hands on the ground. When he raised his head, his eyes were filled with a bit of cruelty.

Nanke looked to the other side. The young man who stopped his retreat with his sword quickly adjusted his posture, pressed his chest with one hand and said urgently: "Wait a minute! I don't mean any harm!"

Seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Nanke's breathing stopped for a moment.

Combining sunshine-like blond hair and single-ear feather earrings of the same style as Ying, that is...

"Guobeng, stop!" Nanke took a few steps to stand between them, "He's Kong!"

Sora was startled when his name was called.

The skirmisher stood up, dusted off his hands, and his narrowed purple eyes were full of danger: "I can see it."

Although he has never seen him in person, he has the same iconic blond hair and golden eyes as the traveler.

Nanke breathed a sigh of relief and looked back.

The young man's facial features were as gentle and delicate as she imagined, and his eyes were like a pair of golden glass pieces. He was pure and full of surprise: "You know me?!"
