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

Before leaving, they weeded the grave.

"I'm sorry, Kanexiong, because I don't know when I will come next, so I'm sorry." A Wang dug out a lump of mud from the grave, wrapped it in a small handkerchief and put it in his sleeve, "In order to give you some incense, I will Take it away, and I’ll secretly stuff it in for you next time I encounter a prosperous shrine.”

Nanke couldn't help but glance at her.

"Shh, don't tell Master." Awang covered his lips with his index finger.

It was already late at night when he returned to the Tianling Formation House. Asase Hibiki was maintaining his beloved longbow as always. Hearing their footsteps entering the door, he said coldly: "Don't bring the filth in."

"Master, do you have eyes in your back?!" Ah Wang exclaimed. He caught a glimpse of Asase turning around half of his head, and immediately turned around and ran out to get water to wash his hands.

Nanke also wanted to follow him out, but was stopped by Asase Hibiki.

"Please stay, I have a few words to say to you." Asase Hibiki put the long bow on his knees and motioned for her to enter the house.

Nanke glanced at Awang's leaving figure and walked in: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Do we have to leave Awang to talk?

"Hatamoto here said that someone from the Kannazuka area's non-violent inspection team has gone missing recently," Hibiki Asase motioned for her to sit down. "The inspection team is an elite team that patrols local security. Hatamoto suspects something strange is at work." , you want to entrust us to assist in the investigation, and I would like to ask you to take Awang to solve this matter, what do you think?"

Nanke was flattered to hear the words of request from Asase Hibiki's mouth and was startled at the same time.

"What about Miss Asase?"

"I will continue to Qinglai Island."

Nanke frowned slightly: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

"You are endowed with spiritual power, and you must have other outstanding qualities that are not exposed to the public. It's rare that Awang can let you go. I feel relieved that she is by your side."

"No, that's not what I meant. Didn't you agree to go to Qinglai Island with Awang? If you leave her in the middle, she will be angry."

Asase Hibiki looked sideways at the candlelight on the table, his eyes slightly dim.

"Qinglai Island is my hometown. What kind of power is hidden there, and how much the locals resist the shogunate. I know very well that Awang's wish has been fulfilled, and there is no need to continue to follow me."

Those eyes were full of worry.

Presumably the dangers of going there have already been fairly assessed.

Nanke immediately understood her good intentions.

"I'm very happy that Awang has found a good master," she looked at Asase Hibiki, her heart warming slightly, "But, as you can see, Awang is no longer a child, so the direction she is traveling should not be It’s up to us to decide.”

"If I were an ordinary child, I would probably hold the same opinion as you," Hibiki Asase shook his head, "But... I wonder if you have heard about this from the Yatsuomo people - it does not exist in the starry sky above our heads. Belongs to Awang’s destiny star.”

Nanke was stunned.

"We don't know what this means. As witches and elders, we regard her as a treasure. Therefore, we also hope that more people can witness her future growth."

Asase Hibiki looked at Nanke seriously and tried his best to persuade her.

Nanke clenched his fingers slightly.

Because she knows what this is about.

Nanke never expected that people who defied fate and reborn in the world would have a good death, and it was difficult to look back and judge whether what he did at that time was right or wrong.

But she grew up in a world that celebrated freedom, and she was deeply saddened by the past that she was unable to change. She was disgusted by the existence of "fate stars" that imply a predetermined destiny.

"I'm sorry, Miss Asase," Nanke said without comment, "I still think we shouldn't make choices for her on Awang's behalf."

Asase moved her lips, but remained silent for a long time.

It seems that they cannot reach a consensus.

Asase Hibiki was always straightforward in his work. Since they had different opinions, the minority obeyed the majority and simply gave the final choice to Awang himself who came back from washing his hands.

"It's rare for Master to ask me what I think," Ah Wang shook off the water drops on his hand and said, "As for me, of course I have to go with Master. After all, I am Master?"

Asase Hibiki sighed: "That'll be it."

Hatamoto personally came to take them to the investigation site.

Walking along the beach on the north side of Kannazhong, on the opposite side of the bay is the straight Muxiang Narrows. The entire island is divided into two, and the tops of the wilderness on both sides are like mountains with huge snake-shaped skeletons winding around.

"Wow, it's so big and long -" Ah Wang jumped while walking, wishing he could fly up and look down, "It's completely impossible to see the end!"

"The head of the snake god is on the farther island of Yao." Hatamoto is a burly man who looks to be in his prime, but there are a few white hairs in his hair. He looks very hard-working. "According to legend, he is an old general. The miracle left behind when you killed the demon god Orobas."

"Oh~"

"There are serious hauntings around Hazama, so it's no wonder you suspect it's something weird," Asase Hibiki pressed her long hair that was ruffled by the sea breeze and asked, "Do you have any other clues?"

"All the missing people are young people. The youngest just joined the army last year and is not as tall as this girl." Hatamoto looked at Nanke, "That child is well-behaved and willing to endure hardships. Everyone has been lost for a while. Alas... except for the canyon, it is really difficult. Go deep, we have searched all other places, but there is no clue."

"Understood, just send him here," Asase Hibiki looked at the faint purple-black energy in the canyon ahead and stopped, "Even if we can't save the person, we will eliminate your worries, just wait patiently for a few days."

"Thank you, miko-sama." Hatamoto clasped his fists deeply.

Asase nodded, called out to Awang, who ran to ride on the waves in the distance, and walked towards Wuxiang Renhajian.

Nanke followed her, hesitating: "Miss Qianze, can Awang really go in?"

Asase Hibiki turned around and glanced at her gently, but said nothing.

"Master, why do you want Nanke to come with you?!" I heard Ah Wang striding up from behind, carrying wooden clogs, asking the same question.

Asase Hibiki chuckled rarely.

Nanke pursed his lips.

Well, she was overthinking it.

"Master?" A Wang scratched his head in confusion.

Unlike the barren land beneath the Tatar Sand Furnace, the creatures in the narrow space of Wuxiang Blade have been immersed in the evil spirit for thousands of years, and have already formed an ecology that is different from the outside world.

The deep purple water flow at the bottom of the valley is stagnant, and the accumulated evil spirit rises and turns into a mist that slowly spreads. The purple vegetation everywhere regularly emits thin thunder elements, and various small animals that move quickly shuttle among them.

Awang nervously held Nanke's hand, walked for a while, and said in surprise: "Hey, Nanke, are you okay?"

"What about you?" Nanke asked.

"I have the guardian that Master gave me with me." A Wang turned sideways and swayed the small pendant hanging on his waist.

Halfway through the long canyon, there was finally something different.
