The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"During Inazuma's journey, Tianfeng foresaw that the last and most critical step of his resurrection was to fall on Xumi, which was related to the World Tree. But this step was difficult. If the purpose was exposed, many qualified forces in Teyvat might come forward to stop it, adding obstacles."

"So we didn't delay and went directly to Xumi Omos Port by sea, and divided our troops into two groups - Tianfeng had already entered Xumi before Paimon and I got off the ship."

"According to our plan, I was responsible for attracting attention and covering Tianfeng's smooth infiltration, and quickly completing the resurrection plan before everyone noticed."

"But it was obvious that there were some accidents with this plan."

Ying opened the refrigerator, took out two cans of drinks, handed one to Ye Lan, opened it with a "pop", raised his head and took a sip: "Ha~"

Ye Lan followed her example and opened the can, glanced at the reddish-brown liquid with bubbles in it, hesitated for two seconds, and took a sip.

It was sweet, with a very strange taste, and it was not difficult to drink.

"What is this?"

"Coke, the favorite of young homebodies."

Ying put down the can of Coke and smiled, "There are a lot of them in the refrigerator, and there are other snacks. You're welcome. This is my home in this dream."

"Yeah, thank you."

Ye Lan nodded, took another sip, and put it down.

It was a little too sweet for her.

Just now, Ying took her into this novel city full of high-rise buildings on the grounds that "this is not a place to talk", and skillfully stopped a metal four-wheeled vehicle driven by unknown energy, and took them to a high-rise building.

Then he opened the code lock of the building door, took the elevator, and arrived at this residence with a rather warm layout.

Ye Lan glanced around the living room, paused on a photo frame for a moment, raised her eyebrows slightly and then fell, turned her head and looked at Ying: "So, now Xumi City is shrouded in dreams?"

"Not Xumi City, but Xumi."

Ying shook her head and corrected her statement: "Now the whole Xumi is shrouded in that huge surface dream, and this is one of the many deep small dreams under the surface dream."

"Deep small dream..."

Ye Lan thought, "Everyone who 'wakes up' from the surface dream will randomly enter a deep small dream?"

"In theory, this is the case." Ying nodded and said, "But in fact, unless in extremely special circumstances, no one can 'wake up' from the surface dream."

She paused and looked at Ye Lan: "So I'm curious, how did you 'wake up'."

"What do you mean? Didn't you 'wake up' me?"

Ye Lan frowned slightly.

"I don't have the ability to 'wake up' others." Ying shook her head: "I have tried more than once to 'wake up' Paimon in the short time when I was 'awake' but not in a deep dream, but to no avail."

"Have you tried to 'wake up' others?"

Ye Lan guessed: "Maybe Paimon can't be 'woke up' because she is too special - there seems to be no creature similar to Paimon in the whole of Teyvat."

Humanoid, intelligent, communicative, and needing to eat... It can be said that in addition to being able to float and fly, Paimon can be completely regarded as a small human.

And there is only one in the whole of Teyvat, and there are no other of the same race.

"I tried, but it didn't work."

Ying shook her head again, but did not deny that Paimon was special.

Ye Lan thought about it and asked: "Then how did you 'wake up' in the first place?"

"Because of this."

Ying pulled up her sleeves, revealing the bracelet on her smooth wrist. The white snake scales reflected the light, which was very beautiful: "This is what Tianfeng gave me. The dream is repeated, and before the cycle begins or ends, it will lead me back to the real awake self."

Is she showing off? It must be, right?

Ye Lan complained in her heart, looking at the bracelet, her heart moved slightly. If the gift given by Tian Feng can make people wake up in dreams, then can the one in her hand also be used?

She subconsciously touched her waist, but touched nothing, and couldn't help but be speechless.

That's right, in this strange dream, there is not even elemental power, how can the space bag be allowed to be preserved.

Ye Lan retracted her hand, her eyes swept across the photo frame on the table again, and then turned to Ying, thinking of the content of the letter, her eyes flickered: "I have a question."

"You say."

"Whose dream is this?"

If it is a dream, then there must be one or more dreamers.

"Tian Feng."

Ying took a breath and said, "Whether it is a surface dream, a deep dream, or a core dream that I don't know whether it exists or not, these dreams are all Tian Feng's dreams."

Ye Lan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in astonishment: "So, it is not Xumi Grass God who weaves dreams to stop Tian Feng, but Tian Feng weaves dreams to trap Xumi Grass God?"

"That's right."

Ying nodded, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the traffic below, and said softly: "This is Tian Feng's dream, his hometown... It's him who trapped himself."

Maybe Xumi Grass God did have the idea of ​​stopping Chen Tian Feng at the beginning, but now, the god is struggling to survive in the giant snake dream, waiting for an opportunity.

"Incredible."

Ye Lan exhaled, glanced at the photo frame again, and looked a little strange: "Since this is Tian Feng's dream and his hometown, how do you know this is your home?"

"I have the key here and I know the address."

Ying turned around with a puzzled look, not understanding why she asked this, and patiently explained: "And when I first 'woke up', I had these memories in my mind."

"Then, is it possible that you remembered it wrong?"

Ye Lan reached out and picked up the photo frame, turned it to Ying, and said seriously: "Look, this photo is clearly a photo of me and Tian Feng... In other words, this is my home."

The photo seemed to be taken by a lake somewhere. A young man and woman stood together, smiling at the camera, looking very intimate.

"What photo... When did this photo appear?!"

Ying's eyes widened, and she walked over in two steps, picked up the photo frame, and looked at the photo, as if she was "swearing to find traces of false synthesis."

Obviously there was no such thing before! And the photo was taken so intimately!

Fake! It must be fake!

Ying muttered to herself, and suddenly found something strange. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she took the photo frame to compare with Ye Lan: "The person in this photo..."

"Looks much younger."

Ye Lan guessed what she was going to say, smiled slightly, and said: "It's just like in this dream, Tian Feng and I are childhood sweethearts, and we are each other's first love."

Ying: "..."

"And the bag I carried in the photo is also here."

Ye Lan came to the entrance and took off the white shoulder bag with an inexplicable pattern. The heavy weight made her eyebrows raise. She opened the bag and saw the gift from Tian Feng for her - two submachine guns.

"I see..."

Ye Lan picked up the submachine gun, and her mind had a little more information. Then she looked at the angry Ying and said with a smile: "Let's go, find Tian Feng in the dream before the next cycle comes."
