Chapter 144 Chapter 144 If you are trapped in a windless place, I will play...

144

A clear voice sounded in my ears, and the breeze gently touched my cheeks.

"If you are trapped in a place without wind, I will play the song of the heavens."

The sound of the organ echoed in the space, and the music was pleasant to the ears.

A light green light appeared around his body, accompanied by light white feathers, and the corner of his eye passed by the corner of his green cloak.

Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared.

She opened her lips slightly and a name came out.

"Barbatos."

For some reason, Li Xiaoqi called him by his real name even though he should have called him Wendy.

The next second, she fell lightly into an embrace.

"ah."

The feathers on the hat trembled slightly, and the boy's face came into view.

In an instant, Sakata Gintoki, Dazai Osamu and Kibutsuji Muzan, who were falling, stopped in mid-air, their clothes fluttering and their bodies supported by the gentle wind.

Barbatos chuckled softly, moved closer to Li Xiaoqi and stared into her eyes for a while, revealing a look of regret.

"I see. I thought Xiao Qi remembered me."

"ah?"

Li Xiaoqi blinked blankly, "What...does that mean?"

Barbatos shook his head slightly, frowning. "Just a joke."

Li Xiaoqi tilted his head. "Huh? But you know my name."

Barbatos smiled and said, "Didn't you summon me? Those two over there are your companions, right? I know their names."

Li Xiaoqi laughed twice, looked at his body awkwardly, and bit his lower lip helplessly.

She was still being held by Barbatos, and he didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go.

Dazai Osamu looked at Li Xiaoqi, and his eyes reflected her being hugged by the boy.

He took a deep breath and looked helpless.

In the continent of Teyvat, the god who rules over the country of Mondstadt is Barbatos, the god of wind, also known as Wendy.

Dazai Osamu studied Barbatos's expression and read a hint of nostalgia in those emerald green eyes.

His eyelashes flickered slightly, and there was a little more doubt in his heart.

Dazai Osamu did not forget Zhongli's subtle attitude towards Li Xiaoqi when he was summoned, and the stunned look on Li Xiaoqi's face when he faced the Grass-type Hilichhill Shaman later.

No, there was also General Lei Dian. When he saw Li Xiaoqi, his expression was like that of a human being he had known before.

Li Xiaoqi should be from the same world as the audience in the live broadcast room, and there is no doubt that she is an ordinary human being.

Then why did these gods look at her with expressions of familiarity or surprise?

Sakata Gintoki looked at his floating body curiously and sighed, "It really is Wendy... She's a good supporting character in the early stages, but she's really a bit difficult to defeat in the abyss later on."

Dazai was stunned and looked at the Dazai next to him, "Is there one in your world too?"

Sakata Gintoki hummed twice, put his hands on the back of his head, stuck his little finger into his nostrils, and said with listless eyes, "Yes, it's the latest version of the Owe game console released by Nintendo. There are game cards for the original O. It was very popular in Edo for a long time. It's a game card released in China."

"Even Kagura and Shinbaji were once addicted to it. They even used my salary card to spend 648 to draw cards. Tsk."

He showed a dissatisfied look and flicked the booger at Dazai Osamu.

Dazai's forehead jumped, "Hey, stop it now."

In the Taisho era, the ghosts who could not understand the conversation between Sakata Gintoki and Dazai Osamu looked at each other in confusion.

"What are they talking about?"

Yuhu was puzzled.

Muzan Kibutsuji lowered his eyes and looked at his limbs. He could move freely, but not according to his own will.

He looked at the boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old and felt surprised.

It was another completely new kind of power, and although this power was gentle, it had a powerful aura. He was actually afraid of the energy emitted by the breeze that dragged his body.

"Ms. Nana."

Kibutsuji Muzan shouted.

He frowned slightly, not understanding why he felt so unwilling.

Li Xiaoqi was stunned and came back to his senses from Barbatos' gaze.

Barbatos looked at Muzan Kibutsuji intentionally or unintentionally, and the smile on his lips widened.

There seems to be a resentful gaze...

He looked around, finally settling on a human in a strange white puppet costume.

Barbatos chuckled, "Xiao Qi is really popular."

He spoke this in Chinese.

Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide, looking stunned.

When Zhongli realized that they were speaking Japanese, he switched to the same language in order to match them. Barbatos's behavior was as if he knew from the beginning that her native language was Chinese.

While she was in a daze, Barbatos seemed to have finished teasing her and got a satisfactory result, so he put her down.

"Yeah, there's bad energy all around."

The voice was ethereal, echoing in the black space.

"And this energy..."

Barbatos raised the corner of his lips and looked at Li Xiaoqi, "It should be very familiar to you."

"Huh?"

Li Xiaoqi opened his lips slightly, not understanding what Barbatos meant.

Barbatos glanced at the live broadcast interface next to Li Xiaoqi, murmured for a moment, and considerately did not expose him.

[Oh my god, it's Barbatos! ]

[Ahhhh, what's going on? What do you mean you thought Xiaoqi remembered me...?]

[This brings up the Emperor's subtle reaction when he was summoned, and General Lei Dian's protective words of "Who turned you into this?"]

[We are not the NPCs in the fan fiction, are we? Laugh and make a fortune]

[I bet a bag of spicy noodles, Xiaoqi, you are not simple]

[Barbatos, why are you still holding on to me? Hahaha]

【Exciting, this plot development】

[Who understands, my family? I kept staying up late watching this live broadcast]

[Sisters in front, your health is important]

[Ah, are you finally willing to let go of Xiao Qi? (No)]

The conversation between Barbatos and Li Xiaoqi was still in Chinese. Sakata Gintoki couldn't understand it, so he looked at Dazai Osamu.

"Really? Why do you have to speak Chinese..."

Dazai Osamu raised his hand to stroke his chin and shook his head gently.

He could understand, and his guess now had a bit more truth to it.

Suddenly, black and purple mist appeared in front of everyone.

Geto Suguru's eyes were tightly closed, and dark red runes kept flowing on his translucent body.

Li Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the black and purple mist wrapped around Xia Yujie's soul, and was suddenly stunned.

The power emitted by the mist made her feel disgusted and uncomfortable all over.

"Why does it feel a bit like the power of the abyss?"

Inadvertently, she murmured.

"Ding ding! A spreading virus has been detected. All anchors, please clear it as soon as possible, otherwise Geto Suguru will be devoured by the virus and become a puppet."

System, you... are quite conscientious?

I'm actually so worried about Geto Suguru.

"The audience in the live broadcast room is strongly demanding that we rescue Geto Suguru. Please do it, host."

Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and he gave Xia Youjie a look of pity.

She was very happy that Geto Suguru did not die when his body was possessed by Noose, but she did not expect that he would be so unlucky to encounter all these bad things.

I don't know what happened to him later, whether he turned evil...

Suddenly, the space began to vibrate and purple-black mist spread.

The sound of iron chains came from somewhere, and in an instant, Muzan Kibutsuji and his group of Upper Moons were locked in an iron thorn cage.

The chains were like thorny vines, climbing up the cage.

Gulp, gulp.

The chain began to wriggle, expanding and contracting, as if it was extracting something.

Muzan Kibutsuji's heart skipped a beat, he covered his chest and began to breathe slightly.

Hantengou was forced to release his clone and curled up in pain.

Yu Hu, like Ban Tian Gou, began to roll around in the cage.

“It hurts so much—”

Cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of Akaza, Douma, and Kokushibo, and their bodies seemed to be enduring something, with their fingertips trembling slightly.

"The strength of the body is being weakened little by little."

Kokushibo said in a deep voice, his voice much weaker.

Sakata Gintoki, Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi looked over in surprise, and then looked at "Suguru Geto" together.

“Wow.”

Sakata Gintoki exclaimed.

The three of them looked at each other with subtle expressions.

It seems that it is absorbing the power of Muzan Kibutsuji and others. It is not known whether this virus is good or bad.

Muzan Kibutsuji's long black hair began to turn gray. He smacked his lips and glared at "Geto Suguru" with a sinister look.

"hateful."

He looked around and understood a very simple truth.

That is, there is always someone better than you.

"In this world, that thing has no source of power and can only absorb similar dark matter energy to strengthen itself."

"So they unfortunately became feed."

A bow and arrow appeared in Barbatos' hand, aimed at Geto Suguru's heart.

"Do you believe me?"

Li Xiaoqi stared at his profile in a daze, and suddenly felt familiar.

This familiarity is not because of familiarity with the game characters, but the feeling of familiarity as if I were a friend I had known for a long time.

But, it was clearly her first time meeting Barbatos.

"believe."

Barbatos loosened his fingers and the arrow flew away.

Suddenly, several black mists appeared around "Geto Suguru".

Several chains emerged from the mist and headed straight for the mansion floating in the air behind.

It's trying to undermine their mission.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The thorny chains hit the barrier, making a loud noise.

The blow was so swift that a crack soon appeared on the barrier.

The arrow shot by Barbatos hit Geto Suguru's heart, and powerful wind element energy quickly burst out.

The dark red runes flowing on Geto Suguru's limbs began to fade and gathered on the arrows shining with green light.

"Give."

Suddenly, Barbatos handed the bow and arrow to Li Xiaoqi.

"You shoot one more arrow there, and it's all over."

Li Xiaoqi was slightly startled and subconsciously took the bow and arrow, "But I don't have the power of wind element..."

Barbatos saw her holding the bow and arrow awkwardly, and a look of disappointment appeared between his brows.

He took Li Xiaoqi's hand and straightened her movements.

"This is the correct way to shoot an arrow."

Li Xiaoqi followed Barbatos's force, raised his bow and arrow, and aimed at the arrow with dark red runes wrapped around it at Geto Suguru's heart.

Her eyes flashed, and her hand gripping the bow and arrow became stronger.

Barbatos released his hand and looked at her with a smile.

Li Xiaoqi's heart trembled. Although he didn't have Barbatos's guidance, his hands pulled the bow very skillfully.

A stream of air arose without any wind, blowing up the hair in front of her forehead.

Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki watched everything quietly, and the image of Li Xiaoqi surrounded by white light spots was reflected in their eyes.

"call out--"

Li Xiaoqi let go of his hand, and the bow and arrow landed accurately on the target.

The next second, a pale yellow light burst out from the tip of the arrow, blinding everyone.

"Yes, that's it."

Barbatos whispered softly.

In the blinding light, Barbatos' body began to dissipate into points of light.

"Well, next time we meet, I'll treat you to a cider, and the two of you over there will join me."

Li Xiaoqi subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to grab Barbatos.

The green cloak fluttered, and Barbatos' figure disappeared in the light.

"Barbatos!"
