The chaotic theater was not worth Xiao's attention. The last soul seemed to be in a faraway place, and the location shown by the yellow dot in his mind was far from Xiao's location.
Many mysteries are troubling Xiao now. So, how did the Fate bring Fanan's body and soul from Teyvat to the Fate battlefield?
Although Wendy had previously mentioned that a long time ago, during the Demon God War, the national destiny had already entered a test version, and innocent civilians were dragged into it, naturally with no good results.
Having written so much about Xiao Bao, let's take a look at Wendy's situation.
Ever since he vaguely brought the box out that day, Wendy had been in a coma, as if he were in a dream, or perhaps an illusion? The surrounding scenery was familiar; Mondstadt, everything was familiar.
Miss Sarah at the Deer Hunter's Restaurant was still busy. Although the Deer Hunter's Restaurant looked very small in the game, so small that there was only one counter, making people wonder where the food was prepared, the Deer Hunter's Restaurant in Mondstadt on the Teyvat continent was very popular. Not only were there many people at the outdoor seats, but the restaurant itself was also packed.
Miss Sarah works at the counter because she is very efficient.
The nuns would clean the Anemo statue from time to time, and even the Barbatos statue in front of the church was spotless. A warm breeze blew through the entire Mondstadt city, and for a moment, Venti felt as if he had returned to Teyvat from the battlefield of the national war. Everything was the same as before, even every gust of wind was the same.
The only difference was that the sky was black, a dark and gloomy black, as if it were about to rain at any moment.
The vendors' calls were incredibly friendly, but Wendy felt extremely uncomfortable. Everyone here seemed to be programmed, their smiles mechanical and their eyes vacant, yet their expressions were so vivid, and everyone genuinely cared for Wendy.
Over time, Wendy gradually became immersed in it, numbly coming to the statue to sing and play music every day, then drinking a few glasses of good wine at the Angel's Gift. If only it could always be like this, Wendy thought.
Wendy's once bright eyes gradually became empty, silently merging into this small world.
Just as Wendy was about to fall into a trap, a hole suddenly appeared in the dark sky, and Zhongli's steady voice came from above: "Old friend, do not lose yourself."
Wendy awoke as if from a dream, breaking out in a cold sweat. Looking around, she realized she was in a prison. Opposite her was a person who had been dead for a long time, his bones exposed. Wendy felt as if she had something on her head. When she tried to take it off, she found that her hands and feet were bound, and she could only move her head.
"Where is this?" Wendy couldn't feel a single breeze here, just like the desolate sea.
Dead silence.
Wendy could hear her own echo very clearly, but after the echo ended, she fell into dead silence.
The unease in Wendy's heart grew stronger, and she forced herself to calm down.
Wendy remembered that after obtaining the soul of Vanan and handing it over to Xiao, she fainted. When she opened her eyes again, she was in that fake Mondstadt. She didn't remember what happened. When she regained consciousness, she heard the old man's voice and then, in the blink of an eye, she was here.
The dim light did not hinder Wendy's vision. She transformed into an adorable wind sprite and easily passed through the cell door. The long corridor seemed to have no end, with darkness on both sides.
"This is a headache," Wendy thought. In each cell lay a skeleton, some completely skeletal, others still showing signs of their original shape.
There seemed to be no living person here. Wendy flew for a long time and saw a door at the end. Without thinking, Wendy squeezed through the crack under the door.
Unlike the darkness inside the cell, the world here is bright and white. Wendy transforms into human form and searches for clues in the surroundings.
A muffled groan came from afar. Although it was very faint, it was quite clear in this space where you could hear a pin drop. Wendy quickly ran over, and the familiar sight immediately shocked her.
The conduits, the human body, and the screens were all exactly the same as what he had seen when he used his divine power. Wendy tried to touch the glass of the huge dish, but his hand passed right through it.
It felt as if I had become a spirit.
Since it's a spirit, let's see if there are any clues around here.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single one. Wendy blinked, and the scenery around her changed again. Now she was underwater, with fish swimming around her. Wendy's hand still couldn't touch any of the fish. What else could there be in this sea?
Rather, what is the purpose of all these scene changes?
The black matter in that chaotic area seemed to have some other effects besides corroding consciousness.
However, the seabed felt somewhat free. Wendy could see the light emanating from the very bottom, small but bright enough for the seabed. After swimming over, she discovered it was a chaotic zone? She could clearly see Xiao searching for the soul of Fanan.
Wait a minute? Was her soul leaving her body? Wendy's mind suddenly burned. What did that cell, that pristine white space represent? Was it something the dark thing wanted to show her? Or was the dark thing hinting at something?
So, where did the black stuff come from?
With this thought in mind, Wendy arrived at the place where she had retrieved the box before. At that time, she was in a daze and could only see the road in front of her. Now, when she looked out and down, all she saw were skeletons, all human-shaped skeletons. There was a strong sense of resentment and other negative emotions here. Dark things were generated here, but she felt that her abilities had been weakened considerably.
It shouldn't be my own soul, but rather...
The karmic obstacles of attacking difficulties.
Yes, the karma of Vajrapani is the best catalyst for those dark beings. The resentment of a human's lifetime cannot compare to the resentment of a Yaksha's thousands of years of vengeful spirits. Human resentment makes humans feel a chill down their spine, but that only works on humans. It doesn't work on Wendy, who is a god.
However, if the resentment of tens of millions of humans is combined with the karma of the Yakshas, then even a god might perish here.
If the old man were to come down, he might just turn the seabed upside down.
Now that the soul of Fa Nan has returned to Xiao's hands, presumably given to Zhong Li, these resentments have lost their catalyst and will soon be much less powerful.
That old ghost had no good intentions either. He deliberately placed the sailor's soul next to the soul of Vanan, so that all the contestants who wanted to help him would forever rest in the deepest part of this seabed, turning into resentment to nourish this land.
There are so many mysteries behind this, Wendy thought.
