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

The candlelight illuminated the room lightly, and the room was quiet, leaving only Sora's melancholy voice.

"...Then, Dyne and I started wandering, fighting against disasters, making up for our mistakes, and looking for Ying."

"While we were traveling, we heard that Reindot's experiments were twisted by black fire and became part of the disaster. Reindot, like us, started traveling with the experimental results named Albedo."

"Only Reindot himself knows whether the life of Teyvat that does not belong to Teyvat can achieve the great deeds he once dreamed of after measuring the land with his own feet."

However, Nanke knew that during the trip, Reindot entrusted Albedo to the Mondstadt Knights and chose to disappear.

Could it be that the original idea was invalid?

"I'm sorry for saying unnecessary words," Kong put away the sentimentality on his face and forced a smile, "I haven't had the chance to mention this to anyone for a long time."

Nanke shook his head: "I am the one who should thank you. Without you, it would be difficult for me to know the truth buried by history."

Sora's smile became a little more genuine.

"So," the skirmisher said in a cold voice, "artificial beings can gain access to the World Tree as long as they complete the tour, right?"

"You also need to have power that is at least as powerful as a god," Kong thought for a while and said, "otherwise, you will not be able to withstand the impact of the torrent of information."

Some kind of guess is almost taking shape.

Nanke couldn't help but look at the skirmishers.

As a Kagemusha, Raikage did not originally master the technology of making dolls. Raiden's death, Leindot's departure from Camrea, and Shadow's creation of skirmishers were all almost at the same time. This is the reason.

After the straggler became a god, he successfully contacted the World Tree. This is the consequence.

Could it be that the technology used by Lei Movie to create skirmishers was actually the alchemy learned from Reindot...

The skirmisher gave her a look in return, telling her not to mention it for the time being.

"As for the deletion of yourself you mentioned just now," Sora said to Nanke again, "Deleting the past self will not have the current self, so this is actually an impossible paradox, but in Teyvat, if the world The tree accepts and implements this paradox. There is a high probability that your friends will be stripped out of history, reorganized information, and classified as Adventers like us. After all, Adventers are in line with the concept of 'neither existed in the past, but can also be The operator of the World Tree is written into the future's only option."

That said, skirmishers are safe.

A wave of heat hit Nanke's chest, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he couldn't say a word.

"And I..." Skirmisher continued to ask, and just as he blurted out his words, he paused, "...the blank space caused by our friends being stripped away was replaced by similar individuals?"

"Yes, changing the past that has already happened in a detailed and logical manner requires a lot of calculations. This is the least labor-intensive way to deal with it."

Kong expressed his affirmation, "So, if you want to undo the deletion, you must first enter the World Tree and go back to the past, and kill the existence that replaced him... uh, erase it. But since the observed history cannot be changed, you must rush to enter it in the earth veins." Before the replacement, if you want to truly enter the World Tree, you still need permission from a higher-level administrator, and the possibility of success is really low."

Someone who was thinking about deleting the past, but almost canceled the operation as soon as he jumped into the tree: "..."

Nanke also maintained just the right amount of silence.

The exchange of information ended here. Sora came here about the disaster on Qinglai Island. After ending the topic, he immediately said non-stop that it was not an option for so many people to be trapped here, and that he had to go out and ask for help from nearby islands.

The skirmishers were sent out, and Nanke looked at their turning and disappearing figures. Finally, he breathed out softly, bent his back, lowered his head and hugged the bed in his lap.

Bedou twitched his ears and looked up at her.

"Bed..." Nanke opened his mouth, but the overly complicated emotions were like a grape whose skin had been crushed in his throat. It was sour and astringent, clogged, and nothing could be said.

Asase Hibiki will never come back, and Awang is still missing.

Just outside the wall, there were so many villagers who had lost their loved ones, crying and resenting their unfair fate. Only she felt sincere joy and relief that she had never felt before.

Is she selfish?

If I could have known this earlier, if I could have freed up my hands and feet to face the dangerous situation that I had no choice but to face...

Nanke gritted his teeth and cut off his thoughts in time.

There is no regret medicine in the world.

Familiar footsteps came back from outside, and Su Zi got out of Nan Keke's restrained arms and let out a "meow".

Nanke pressed his forehead hard against the edge of the low wooden table and remained motionless.

"Stomach pain?" A kneeling knee with clear joints fell into Nanke's peripheral vision.

The skirmisher didn't sound too impressed.

Nanke closed his eyes hard, straightened up slightly, lowered his head and ran into the arms of the soldiers: "The country collapsed..."

The skirmisher's hand fell on her head.

"I..." His throat was still blocked, Nanke choked, "I should...can I feel happy?"

"It doesn't matter," the soldier said calmly after a moment of silence, "You can cry if you want to, laugh if you want to laugh."

Anyway, her genuine smiles and tears are rare.

Nanke hugged the soldier's back tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and another deep breath, without crying or laughing.

The mood that was swinging between joy and guilt found its fulcrum inexplicably because of the words of Skirmisher.

It turns out that two completely opposite emotions can coexist in the same heart at the same time.

After calming down for a while, Nanke ran his hand up the soldier's spine, raised his head, looked at the calm face above and asked.

"Guobeng, is your body temperature a little high?"

Her fingers landed on the hot skin of the back of his neck.

"The amount of information in Kong's case is quite large, and it's a bit overloaded with analysis." Skirmisher sat down, pushed her away, and pursed his lips slightly, "I have an inference about Doctor, do you want to hear it?"

"Doctor?" Nanke was startled.

"After I was taken to Zhidong by the doctor, I carried out a mission to collect earth vein samples from various countries, which was promoted by the doctor," Xiansheng said. "After obtaining the Heart of Thunder God, the doctor advised Queen Zhidong to change the original plan. The country implementing the god-making plan was changed from Inazuma to Sumeru. I failed to become a god. The doctor's first choice was not to recover me and the heart of god, but to send Slice to take away my first believer, Hypatia. ——Don’t you think this is all too coincidental?”
