Genshin Impact: Teyvat High School

boom--

He broke into a mysterious place alone, holding a spear.

He stood in the dim corridor, looking at the place that once brought him pain and despair.

All these years have passed, but these people have made a comeback, but they are different from last time.

This time there was no help from that adult, but times have changed and he is no longer the ignorant boy he was back then.

He came for revenge this time, and he has learned to control his karma.

Every night, as long as he closed his eyes, he could always think of the scene of that year, and he could always hear the howling and roaring of his companions in his ears, which made him very painful. His pain gradually turned into anger over time, the anger of revenge; it also turned into self-blame. He blamed himself for not being able to stop that man that year; he blamed himself for being incompetent and not finding the antidote; he blamed himself for being ignorant and leading everyone to follow that man into this hell; he blamed himself for being selfish. What qualifications did he have to live so calmly, while they sacrificed their lives.

However, now all of these have turned into his motivation for revenge and the courage to break in alone.

He looked at his arm. The scene of that year was still vivid in his mind. His bloody palm suddenly appeared. He could also feel that his palm was about to become like that year. However, he did not react this time. Instead, he was a little excited. He was excited that the blood on his palm was no longer his companion's. He was excited that he could finally kill this evil man with his own hands.

He looked up suddenly, his eyes becoming more determined.

"Hmph, your sins end here, [Doctor] Dotore!"

There was no one in the dark corridor, but he did not lose his direction. He held the emerald green spear tightly in his hand and rushed into the darkness.

"Lord Dotore, someone broke in!!!"

A man hurriedly pushed open the iron door and anxiously informed the people in the room of the information.

The man in the room was still touching the girl's white hair. When he heard the voice, he turned around and gave the man a cold look.

"What a fuss, say."

"It's... it's the one that escaped during the Yaksha experiment! He's back again!! He's wreaking havoc in the outer room and injured many guards. It seems to be called... the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal Xiao."

"Okay, get out."

The man waited until he closed the door and left, then reached out and pressed the button on the mask.

Boom rumbling——

The wall on the other side of the room suddenly moved, and after a moment the wall disappeared, revealing a laboratory. It was much brighter than the current room, with numerous instruments placed around it, forming a circle.

In the center of the laboratory, there is a huge container, in which is immersed a tall and mighty man with four limbs and arms, strong but weak. His purple hair floats on the container and his whole body is dark purple.

The man walked to the container, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the "monster" in the container.

"General Teng Snake - Fushe."

"It's time to meet your lost brother."

Suddenly, the "monster" sleeping in the container opened its eyes, and purple light emanated from its eyes.

……

……

Everyone walked along the stone stairs until they stopped in front of a device.

They looked up at the evil energy on the Divine Punishment Nail, and then looked down along the evil energy and found that every strand of evil energy was emitted by this device.

"Is this the thing that emits evil energy and corrodes the God's Punishment Nail?"

Paimon said as he looked at the unremarkable device.

"We are now, ahem, we need to shut down this device, ahem, the evil energy that is emanating from it, ahem, let the Nail of Divine Punishment fall, ahem, ahem, ahem."

After just a short while, Zhiqiong's cough seemed to have become more severe, and looking through the mask, Zhiqiong's face looked pale.

"But how can we stop this thing? I looked around and found that there is no mechanism that can be operated."

Paimon came to this conclusion after flying around the device, and she spread her hands and said.

Zhiqiong was silent for a moment as he looked at the device.

"This……"

thump—

Suddenly, a sticky purple-black thing fell from below, scaring everyone.

“Uwaaaaaaa——the monster is coming——!”

Paimon: "Wow, what the hell is this? It's disgusting!"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a pile of mud."

Jack was still in shock. He was so scared that he hid behind Ying. He opened his eyes and looked over when he heard Zhiqiong's words. Seeing Zhiqiong trying to reach out to touch the black mud, he quickly stopped her.

"This... this is black mud... it's poisonous, don't touch it!"

"Black mud? Cough cough cough, a pile of mud, cough cough cough, what's the poison? Cough cough cough."

"Hey, Zhiqiong, you're already in this state, why are you still trying to be so stubborn? If it were me, I would tell you to go back to the camp and have a good rest, and leave the investigation to us, but you just wouldn't listen, hey."

Faced with this stubborn girl, Jack could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

Paimon looked at the black mud spreading and surrounding the device, and asked:

"Then we can't touch this black mud. It has surrounded the device again. We can't remove the evil spirit. What can we do? We can only go back."

"Um……"

Jack looked at the black mud that seemed like a living thing and pondered for a moment.

"By the way, there is a way to remove the black mud!"

Paimeng was very curious to hear that there was a way to remove it, and asked repeatedly: "There is actually a way to remove it, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"You didn't even ask!"

Jack's words left Paimon speechless.

"..."

"Okay, then Jack, tell me what the solution is."

Jack didn't answer, but took the lumen stone catalyst from Paimon's hand.

"Hey, what are you doing with my things?"

Paimon asked in confusion.

"The black mud needs this thing to be removed."

As Jack spoke, he fiddled with the Lumen Stone Catalyst. After a long time, he finally found a secret. Then he brought the Lumen Stone Catalyst close to the black mud and pressed a mechanism on the Lumen Stone Catalyst.

The lumen stone catalyst shook for a moment, and then emitted a faint blue halo, and the black mud disappeared where the halo passed.

"Wow, this is amazing! Is this the power of light?!"

Paimon excitedly pedaled the "tricycle" in the air.

"Yes, as long as you believe in the light, then the light will definitely bring miracles!"

In this way, they controlled the bright stone catalyst to disperse the black mud bit by bit. After an unknown amount of time, the large piece of black mud was finally completely dispersed and disappeared.

But just as Jack breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly!

thump—

A large piece of black mud appeared from nowhere, and this time the black mud was particularly large. It fell from a high altitude and directly hit Zhiqiong, surrounding Zhiqiong completely.

The other three people were horrified and hurriedly took out their own bright stone catalysts to disperse the black mud like Jack did.

But Jinwu only made Mingliu Stone Catalysts for Ying, Paimeng, and Zhiqiong. Jack had none at all. With only two Mingliu Stone Catalysts, even at the fastest speed, it would still take a lot of time to disperse this large piece of black mud.

Damn it, Zhiqiong is still in there!

Ying thought anxiously, although this was different from the ending she had seen before, the black mud itself was poisonous. If it wrapped up the whole person... she would be in imminent danger...

After a while, Ying and Paimeng worked together and finally broke a hole in the black mud. They saw Zhiqiong curled up on the ground inside. Fortunately, Zhiqiong was holding a piece of bright stone catalyst in her hand, so the black mud did not touch her.

It turned out to be just a false alarm.

But Zhiqiong just looked up at Ying and Paimeng, and didn't get up and walk out. I don't know if he was frightened by the sudden change, or...

Because of poisoning...

But Ying didn't care about that. She threw the Mingliu Stone Catalyst in her hand back, then stepped into the black mud and carried Zhiqiong, who was curled up in the mud, out.

Zhiqiong was in Ying's arms with her eyes closed and her whole body trembling slightly. She slowly opened her eyes when she felt the change in the environment.

At this time, everyone finally put their minds at ease.

After Zhiqiong regained consciousness, she did not speak or cry immediately. She coughed and breathed in deep gulps, probably because of severe lack of oxygen.

“Cough cough cough…haha…cough cough cough…haha…I’m scared to death…cough cough cough…Senior, let me go…cough cough cough.”

Ying followed Zhiqiong's instructions and put her down. Only after confirming that Zhiqiong was still the same as before did she stop worrying.

Are you kidding? How could she not be worried? Zhiqiong was coughing non-stop now, it was impossible for her not to be worried. And every cough of Zhiqiong was like an alarm bell ringing in her heart.

"By the way, where's my Bright Flow Stone Catalyst?"

Ying realized the importance of the Mingliu Stone Catalyst again and turned back to look for the Mingliu Stone Catalyst that he had just thrown away.

"I remember I threw it to you, Jack!"

"I...I didn't see it."

Jack also looked around as Ying did.

"Look!"

Paimon suddenly shouted loudly beside the device, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw that the Mingliu stone catalyst was stuck on the top of the device, and the device seemed to be absorbing the energy of the Mingliu stone.

Soon, the device no longer emitted evil energy, and a red aura began to dissipate from one end of the device until it reached the Divine Punishment Nail.

However, the bright flow stone no longer shone, and the blue stone gradually turned dark, and finally broke into pieces, scattered on the ground and turned into some inconspicuous pebbles.

When everyone learned that Mingliu Stone could prevent this device from emitting evil spirits, they all came up with corresponding solutions.

Although there is a new solution, trouble also comes with it.

That is, they only have three Mingliu Stone catalysts in total, but there are four devices here. Turning off one device will damage one Mingliu Stone, and there will be one device left in the end. In this way, they still cannot let the Divine Punishment Nail fall.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhiqiong suddenly took out a small blue stone from the small backpack she was carrying.

That’s right, it’s Mingliu Stone.

Jack looked at Ming Liushi with a shocked expression and asked, "Zhiqiong, where are you from?"

"Uh... I thought, cough cough cough, this was pretty nice, cough cough cough, so I kept it for myself, cough cough cough, and wanted to take it back, cough cough cough, home for collection. I didn't expect that it would be, cough cough cough, put to use now! Cough cough cough."

"Okay, then let's not waste any more time and start getting all four devices fixed!"

Paimon raised his right hand and cheered, as if the matter was resolved.

Afterwards, they shuttled between the stone stairs and closed one evil device after another inside the dangerous and thrilling rock layers.

The evil spirits disappeared one after another, and finally only the last one was left.

The last device is on a disc at the bottom of the cave. Once this last device is installed, the Divine Punishment Nail will descend, smashing the disc and opening a path to the deeper levels of the Layered Rock Abyss.

They stood on the stone steps, looking down at the device...

Their journey through the rock formations was coming to an end.
