The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Growing up has always been a very private and lonely thing. For Luo Mu, growing up is sometimes even loneliness itself.

So he didn't have any special feelings about celebrating the Lantern Festival alone. But when Luo Mu opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar gorgeous ceiling, he subconsciously looked to the side, but did not see the little white-haired guy floating in the air, and he still felt a little lost.

Yes, only a little! Luo Mu rubbed his stiff cheeks fiercely and convinced himself in his heart.

Now Luo Mu naturally cannot easily have any hasty contact with any official organization. He can only live in the Lin family's house. In order to prevent his resentment from hurting others, he insists on meditation every day and strictly controls the time he stays in one place - unless there is no one in that place.

The power of destiny once again buried itself among the masses after the killing. This was exactly the effect Luo Mu wanted. In daily life, they still played their own roles, and when Luo Mu needed to activate them, they could be activated at the same time, unleashing terrible influence and destructive power.

He wanted to make Tianming, with Liyue as its center, a behemoth covering the territories of the seven kingdoms.

[Uh... you just want to build a second Adventurer's Association, right?] This is how the trash system evaluated Luo Mu's plan.

Ren Luomu has grown a lot now, and he was speechless for a long time because of this sentence.

Today is the Lantern Festival. According to Liyue customs, there will definitely be many fun activities. Everyone will go to the streets, laughing and making noises together.

But Luo Mu, the damn thing is that the happier he is, the more lively the place is, the worse it is for him to go!

Luo Mu found that although most of the resentment in his body had subsided, they seemed to instinctively hate happiness and joy. As long as there were too many people in a good mood around Luo Mu, this group of naughty children's resentment would begin to stir and want to come out for a spin.

If Luo Mu went out on the street now, he would be a living source of pollution among the happy crowd. He had no doubt that with the current amount and purity of the resentment in his body, he could really cause people to commit suicide wherever he went.

So... Luo Mu, the otaku, finally stopped staying at home, but now he is forced to continue staying at home.

This whole thing was really ironic. The more Luo Mu thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped the soft mattress with his backhand and suddenly jumped up from the bed stiffly as if he had been kicked. His long limbs suddenly stretched out in the air, and dark resentment spread out from his body like sharp blades.

"Rashomon? Lian Men Jaw!" Luo Mu waved his hands forward with all his strength, his five fingers spread out like withered leaves, and he shouted in a somewhat childish tone.

The grinning black beast with a ghost face shot around the room like pitch-black lightning, as if it could devour all the resentment and murderous intent, making the entire room look like a Shura ghost realm.

But they all dissipated automatically before they actually hit anything. Luo Mu withdrew this aimless attack with a lot of noise and a little effort. He landed lightly on the ground and looked at the group of resentful people who had been turned into minions of black beasts sticking out from behind him. An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

No matter what, these things have one advantage: he can now really cosplay as Ryunosuke Akutagawa from Bunno, and even his special abilities can be reproduced in the original version.

It's a pity that the most successful cosplayer of Ryunosuke Akutagawa will probably never have the chance to go to a comic convention with Bungo Stray Dogs again. Thinking of this, Luo Mu suddenly felt that this matter seemed quite interesting.

He burst out laughing and quickly put his hands on his face to stop the smile that came from nowhere, but he couldn't control it.

For a moment, the empty room was filled with Luo Mu's sudden laughter. The laughter was so happy that if someone heard it at this moment, they would probably feel happy for the person who could make such a joyful laugh.

【…】

The system that shared Luomu's consciousness was silent at this time. It knew best why Luomu was laughing and what a heartbreaking situation Luomu was facing. In such a situation, Luomu could still laugh. In addition to the fact that the unbridled side of Luomu's heart was merging with the forbearing side and the influence of complex resentment, there was another important reason:

He was laughing at himself.

This world is like a naughty child. It always takes away what Luo Mu cherishes most, such as faith, friendship, and protection, and then gives him some good-looking things as compensation, so that he can't even complain.

What could he complain about? Complain about the fact that he had a terrorist organization like Tianming? Or complain about the fact that his power was comparable to that of a demigod? Compared to these, what were Ying, Xingqiu, Bennett, and Jellos? They were just a few "friends" he had known for less than a year. What was the big deal?

Yeah, what's the big deal, you get something even more unattainable, right? It's a trade-off, you know.

Luo Mu told himself this countless times.

But... I really don't want the things you gave me. If you take them back, can you give me back my life full of suspicion, vigilance, and caution?

I even left a way out for a sinner like Lin Qingquan. He could go to Liyue City for the Lantern Festival with other members of the Lin family. But where is the way left for me?

Luo Mu originally thought that he could spend the Lantern Festival safely, but he forgot what it feels like to be alone. Especially when you have experienced the company and warmth of friends, that damn coldness can be very torturous.

So this is what it means to be a stranger in a foreign land... Being a stranger in a foreign land is actually not that bad, at least there is still a glimmer of hope, such as meeting an old friend in a foreign land, returning home early before your hair turns grey...

Just this word “alone”… The cruelest life sentence in the world is just this word “alone”.

Ying, I'm sorry, I can't spend this Lantern Festival with you. Luo Mu in the Lin residence and the young man in the dark abyss have always been tacitly aware of this.

…………

As Mondstadt's special envoy, Ying's treatment was naturally not bad. Early in the morning, Ganyu sent invitations to Ying and Paimon, inviting them to a gathering at the Qun Yu Pavilion.

This year, Ningguang did not invite Mr. Yunjin to perform in the Jade Pavilion. Most of the people who came were acquaintances of the Seven Stars and important envoys, such as Kamisato Ayato, and...

"Young Master? Why are you here!" Paimeng screamed in surprise.

The handsome young man scratched his head and said, "Why can't I come? After all, I am considered an envoy of the Kingdom of Winter, right?"

Being the scapegoat countless times... Thinking of this, the corners of the sunny and healthy young man's mouth twitched slightly.

Ningguang was really rude to this executive who was so arrogant. She blamed everything on the Fatui. What did someone throwing objects from a high altitude in the Jade Pavilion have to do with me?

At this time, Ying's gaze and thoughts had already turned to other places:

Since Young Master, Ayato and the others are here, then he...

Ying's eyes swept over every invited guest, and he carefully looked for evidence that someone was him.

She knew that the boy could perform magic like disguise, so she observed everyone's little habits, such as touching their noses, blinking their eyes, fiddling with their fingers...

Or like him, subconsciously use your little finger to push away the loose hair on your forehead, and then smile embarrassedly.

Ying had seen every tycoon and hermit celebrity, each of them was so high-spirited or had a natural character, but none of them was Luo Mu.

The glimmer of hope in Ying's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer until it completely disappeared.

Liyue’s Lantern Festival is a day for family and friends to reunite. Some people have lost the whole world, but are still thinking about someone in their heart. Some people have only lost one person, but it seems like they have lost the whole world.

Being a stranger alone in a foreign land,

Whenever the holiday season, think twice.
