Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Sora quickly agreed to Nashida's proposal, "Thank you, Nashida."

Nashida shook her head. "Don't be so polite. You guys have helped me a lot."

Those praises and honorary titles were what her friends deserved, and beyond that she had been thinking about what she could do for her friends.

The gift for Su is still in the making. It would be a good idea to look for information about my sister while the power of [Scattered Soldiers] is still remaining.

Nashida sent Sora and Paimon's consciousness into the interior of the World Tree, where the [Scrapper] was already waiting there with his arms folded.

Paimon felt traumatized when he saw the arrogant look of [Scattered Soldier], "What an annoying guy..."

That's the expression! This guy beat them up so badly not long ago...

The Skirmisher, who never suffered any bullying, raised his eyebrows and was about to sneer back when Nashida's voice came from above.

"Unlike regular areas, the inside of the World Tree is only a torrent of information and data. When operating inside the World Tree, one must be extremely cautious and avoid any unnecessary actions."

"I know there are a lot of grudges between you, but once you enter the World Tree, you must not fight among yourselves. This is also for your safety."

Kong nodded and advised Pai Meng to be more calm.

Paimon: "Okay, let's live in peace with that guy for now..."

"Let's go, follow closely and don't run around." [Scattered Soldier] turned and walked forward, "After all, there are people waiting for you to return."

The inside of the World Tree looks completely different from the outside. Energy and light spots are surging between the cracks in the broken land. Further away, there is a huge branch-like tree without leaves.

The entire tree seemed to be made up of some unknown crystal. There was a circle of broken marks on the main trunk in the middle, and the branches became more regular in right angles as they went up.

The energy and light spots in the cracks in the ground rose like evaporating water vapor, and then turned into stars flowing along star tracks. The meteors that broke away from the star tracks turned into rain and fell on the tree.

Paimon looked at the strange tree and murmured, "So... so special, and it feels like it cannot be desecrated..."

[Scattered Soldier] turned around and warned, "Don't focus on exclamation. For safety, you'd better follow me closely."

Kong patted Paimon, reminding her to pay attention to the environment and not fly to other roads.

"Oh, good!" Paimon looked at this space that looked the same from top to bottom, left to right, front to back, and the road was constantly moving, and muttered quietly, "No wonder Nashida asked not to bring Su along."

The [skirmisher] walking in front suddenly let out a sigh with an ambiguous meaning.

Paimon quickly exploded, "He's laughing at me again! What does he mean by that?!"

Kong pulled Paimon with a headache, wanting to tell Paimon that she was overthinking and that [Scattered Soldier] was not laughing at her, but it was difficult to explain what the other party was saying.

A small fluorescent sapling suddenly appeared, temporarily fixing the constantly crisscrossing roads. It was Nashida who was outside helping everyone to find the way.

Remembering Nashida's instructions, the group focused their attention and continued to move forward, and successfully arrived at the special tree.

Sora looked up and said, "This is the center of the World Tree... Almost all the information in the world flows through it."

"That's right." [Scattered Soldier] looked up and called, "Little Auspicious Grass King, we can start anytime."

Nashida's serious voice came from high in the sky, "Then please get ready. Prepare to begin accessing the consciousness torrent and establish an anchor point..."

After [Scattered Soldier] successfully connected to the World Tree Center, he began to look through the required information in the flood of data.

"It feels like he's doing something very precise and busy, but it also looks like he's just standing in the corner as a punishment." Paimon complained to Sora in a low voice out of boredom.

"And I never expected that such a rebellious guy would actually work seriously. It seems that he is also afraid of death."

They must have been defeated by their Traveler Team and Nashida!

Nashida's voice came again, (Paimon is feeling bored, do you want to chat with me?)

Paimon (Ugh! This voice feels like it’s coming from both beside me and inside my heart…)

Nashida: (Yes, it's a mind conversation. I invited Sora as well. If you want to talk about something, just focus on it in your mind.)

Sora understood: (Nashida doesn't want to send... us to disturb the [skirmishers].)

Nashida chuckled and did not deny it.

Paimon is not the kind of person who would only talk behind others' backs. She will bravely speak to their faces!

([Sanbing] is a very contradictory guy. He always speaks with a sharp tongue, but seems to be very down-to-earth when doing things.)

Nashida, who had touched the memories of [Scattered Soldier], was somewhat emotional. (Everyone has some past events of their own, and it can be said that it was "betrayal" that made him what he is today.)

"It's so lively to see three souls gathered together to chat. It seems that topics that don't require my participation are always fascinating." [Scattered Soldier], who was checking the information, suddenly spoke.

Paimon was startled. "Ah! Why are you suddenly... talking!"

[Scattered Soldiers] answered the question irrelevantly, "You deliberately avoided talking to me, so you must be discussing me. Are you saying bad things about me?"

Paimon was so angry at his teasing and sarcastic attitude that he jumped up and down, "So what? I won't tell you!"

[Scattered Soldier]: "It doesn't matter. It's normal for prisoners to be unpopular."

Kong was getting a headache from the noise. He had discovered that without Su, who needed to be taken care of, around, Paimon would put aside his airs as a reliable parent and become very childish. He was always easily tickled by someone with an erratic attitude.

Sora quickly changed the subject, "What have you found so far?"

[Scattered Soldiers] got back to the point, "We're still searching for it. But don't get your hopes up. You and your relatives are from outside this world, so it's normal that there's no record of you in the World Tree."

"Hmm? Wait...nameless data." [Scattered Soldier]'s face changed slightly, and he fished out an unusual branch from the torrent of data.

All three of them reached out and touched the branch, entering the perspective of the owner of the memory and experiencing a memory full of conspiracy and blood.

The man stabbed Niwa to death in the back, cut out his heart and put it into a strange device, and finally used a bloody dagger to chop into pieces a lavender veil in the box.

Paimon, who came out of his memory, kept retching, "Blood...heart...[Doctor]! Veil...!"

Sora and Paimon both realized who the protagonist of this memory was and what the specific event was.

It is the memory of the Doctor who disguised himself and infiltrated the Tadashi Sand, directing a series of tragedies and disasters.

Sora looked at his own hands. As a spectator of memory, he could not control the behavior of the memory subject no matter how much he resisted.

The feeling of having to watch the blood flow all over the floor and the veil torn to pieces... is really terrible.

The only thing he was thankful for was that the Doctor could not see Sue's spirit attached to the veil, so there was no scene of her being hurt in his memory.
