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

A few days later, in Fontaine's hospital, the first human to die appeared since that day.

Not an old man, but an orphan from Gray River who was born frail and sickly.

Bad news kept coming loudly from the nurses in the emergency room: breathing had stopped, heartbeat had stopped, resuscitation was ineffective, and death was confirmed.

A group of people who had no connection with the child's life sat outside the emergency room and listened to the moment of silence.

After the medical staff left, Abedo walked in with Wendy.

One of the powers of the Wind God is to temporarily recall the souls of the deceased.

The others stayed where they were, with the stone in their hearts hanging higher and higher, and every second seemed like a year.

At this time, what is the difference between gods and humans?

There is also nothing that can be done to stop the passing away, nor to change the future.

The skirmisher pressed his fingers lightly on the edge of the bamboo hat, listening intently to what was going on inside.

His extraordinary hearing allowed him to hear Wendy's breath of relief first.

Sure enough, after about ten seconds, Wendy and Abedo walked out one after the other.

"The soul can't be found." Death had just happened, but Wendy couldn't help but smile at an inappropriate time.

"There is no sign of transformation into the undead," Abedo continued.

Nacida was the most nervous. When she heard their words, her vision almost went dark, and she collapsed on the bench with physical and mental exhaustion.

"That is to say, his soul is either thrown into the starry sky..." Navilette said and stopped.

In fact, it was night outside, and it was raining lightly. Navilette knew best whether the starry sky still existed.

"Or, he entered another place," Ying stroked her chest to ease her rapid heartbeat, "for example, the snow globe that was lost with Nanke."

"The problem is that we can't even see the tree that the doctor mentioned in our dreams," Zhongli crossed his arms and said, "How can we prove its existence?"

"After all, what you hear is false, and what you see is belief," Lei Qingqing said, "It would be great if there was something that could be used as proof."

"If you need proof, let us do it."

In the long and dark corridor, the steady footsteps came together with the same steady voice.

The skirmisher was the first to react and cast a sharp gaze: "Harlequin?"

"Exactly."

The ceiling lights in the corridor deepened Piero's deep features, and his tall figure was as solemn as a carved statue.

"I don't seem to have received a request from the Fools to enter." Navilette stood up and stood facing him.

"We are old acquaintances, so don't be so stingy," Dadalia stuck her head out from behind Piero and said with a friendly smile, "You don't stick to small things when you do big things, don't you?"

In addition, [the girl] Colombia, who claims to be on vacation in Fontaine and has not been seen for a long time, is also behind Piero.

There is no doubt that the reason why these two people were able to sneak into Fengdan silently was because the girl was behind them.

"I underestimated the fools," Villette reflected on himself for not sending anyone to monitor the girl, and then asked, "[Harlequin], right? How can you prove it?"

"With the unwavering loyalty of all Solstice people to the Ice Queen." Piero raised his hand and made a fist, pressing it against his left chest.

"All Zhidong citizens have taken boats and anchored at Fontaine's maritime border. As long as Fontaine allows us to enter, we can prove it to you."

Even Villette's expression changed suddenly: "All...?!"

The environment is harsh and cold in the winter, and it may not be the country with the largest population among the seven countries, but the number of people there is at least tens of millions.

Such a huge number of people are now on the national border, coupled with the fact that all the people are in the army in the winter, everyone is aware of the iron-blooded style...

Just thinking of that possibility made Villette break out in a cold sweat.

"Please rest assured that as the current top leader of Zhidong, I appear here alone just to show Zhidong's sincerity,"

Piero saw Navilette's concerns and took the initiative to take off the Eye of God and the Evil Eye that were attached to his clothes along with many medals of honor, and handed them to Navilette.

"Please believe that no one is more concerned about the survival of the world than Zhi Dong and the Ice Queen."

-

The heat wave in midsummer was much alleviated by the overnight rain.

Cruise ships traveling to and from the Fontainebleau were suspended due to malfunctions, and even the north and south city gates were inexplicably blocked and strictly guarded by soldiers from the Imperial Court.

The high wall built to resist floods faces the scorching sun and casts a huge shadow on the city, making people feel uneasy like a prison.

The citizens were talking a lot, and Funina was entrusted by the hope to break into the Momang Palace to ask Navilette for answers.

In the past, I always sat in the office with bright and clean windows, but the person with his head bent and focused was not there.

A large number of ships rowed across the water, causing endless waves.

Navilette stood on the beach of Rainbow Rose, watching the ferries passing under the cruise track bridge one after another, with a solemn expression on her face.

What exactly does Zhi Dong want to do?

Piero never responded directly.

What’s the point of transporting all the Winter Solstice people to the already destroyed Sea of ​​Embryo?

Piero also made no answer.

But since Zhi Dong dared to enter Fontaine's territorial waters, Villette believed that there was no harm in staying on the sidelines.

When the ship arrived at its destination, it was densely packed on the sea, almost completely blocking the sparkling waves. The fools in military uniforms and civilians in regular clothes all came to the deck to stand without saying a word, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

Piero led the remaining Fools executives to stand on the nearest ship.

"There is no girl." The skirmisher took a glance and concluded.

What exactly are they planning to do?

The four gods were also watching. There was an undercurrent surging in Abedo's eyes, and he could vaguely deduce the possibility. At this moment, he could only remain silent.

If everyone has already knelt down under the guillotine, even the rope of the guillotine has been cut off by the executioner.

As an audience, what else can you say?

When all the ships were anchored, Columbia, who was not present, finally appeared, but on the shore.

This time, there was no one to lead her. The blind girl walked slowly and staggeringly, but walked through them with a clear purpose, and walked to the front to face the foreign visitors on the boat over there.

The plain cloth covering the girl's eyes was tied behind her head, submerged in the ocher-red glossy black hair, and fluttered in the wind.

"You can't enter Columbia's sight."

Columbia gave a routine warning, then raised her hand and untied the knot.

For a moment, they understood what was going to happen next, and everyone held their breath in shock or mourning.

The girl is death.

The evil eye cannot be looked directly into, and if touched it will cause death.

The Winter Solstice people standing on the deck fell one after another. Some people even maintained standard military etiquette after death. The same thing was that everyone had the same calm face.

"The end will eventually come, no one will survive regardless of race or noble status. Then trees will appear, dragons will appear, and the broken planet will be completely destroyed."

Columbia glanced at the dead with gentle eyes. She had never seen so many people before, so her hellish golden-red eyes narrowed slightly in the sunlight, revealing a sad smile.

"You, Fontaine, have successfully deceived the prophecy and extended the time that you did not deserve. You should understand the important meaning of rushing to death in the winter."

"Just like Fukalos let Funina replace him, although the sea water still rose, the Fontaine people were forgiven by the ancient dragon and no longer dissolved?" Navilette asked.

"A butterfly that strays into the clouds, a tiny flutter of wings can stir up a storm, and a slight misalignment of fate can also lead to an unexpected ending." Columbia counted the ships one by one, and gave her last sight to the opponent. old people looking at each other from a distance.

Death brings down one without any pain.

"...So, this is what Piero looks like?" Columbia was distracted, tilted her head and smiled.

"I'm sorry, where did I say it?" After a moment, Columbia turned back slightly.

"Unexpected ending." Nacida reminded behind her.

"Yes, the ending." Columbia nodded, "Change is so easy, but variables are not so easy to find. Fortunately, you did the variables that Zhidong failed to create - one is the twin who exchanged identities, and the other, It is the descendant summoned by Sumeru.”

"The meaning of the existence of Fools is to continuously amplify these small changes. Everyone will still die, and trees will still appear, but this time, everything is in our hands."

After Columbia finished what she said, she straightened the blindfold in her hand, lowered her head and wanted to tie it again, but unexpectedly touched her wet cheek.

She was slightly startled, then sighed and continued to admire the rare world.

Soon after, probably because of a mechanism set up in advance, the ships floating like fallen leaves on the sea began to take in water and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

Even the finishing touches are thoughtfully considered.

The sea calmed down again and the wind blew slightly.

I don’t know whether it comes from the sky, solidified and deformed by sunlight, or from the bottom of the sea, where the reflected waves are distorted.

There is a pale white brilliance vertically appearing on the sea surface.

Thousands of straight lines gather into a whole, occupying the sea water and reaching the sky.

This time, it's no longer someone who can only see it in their dreams.

In front of everyone's eyes, a tree of light spreads its illusory branches and leaves all over the sky, using the sea as an altar, until the clouds are deep, covering the sky.

"It's really spectacular."

Columbia choked with laughter,

"This time... I'm left alone again."
