"Uh, hello." Ying looked at the gray-haired girl in front of her and greeted her first according to her habit.

"You, you're awake!" The girl's face was filled with excitement. She didn't care about the wood that fell on the ground at all. She sprinted to Ying's side. Her eyes were shining with stars, so bright that she could hardly open her eyes.

"Wait, wait!" Ying took a few steps back and took the opportunity to observe the other party.

The gray-haired girl looked no more than twenty years old. She was wearing a dark brown coarse cloth dress with the sleeves rolled up high and a gray coat tied around her waist. She looked simple and generous. She was wearing a pair of blue-gray trousers, but there was a rip on the calf of her left leg, through which her white skin could be vaguely seen.

However, these were not the focus of Ying's attention. The focus was that in such cold weather, the gray-haired girl was wearing such thin clothes, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

Is she hot?

Could you please give me some of your body temperature? I'm shivering with cold.

Ying complained silently in her heart.

But at least she saw a normal person, and Ying felt a lot more relaxed, and her tense nerves also eased.

"Oh, look at me, I even forgot to introduce myself." The gray-haired girl smiled playfully, cleared her throat, and then said:

"Ahem, my name is Guiyan. Everyone used to call me Yanzi. You can just call me Yanzi too."

"I woke up yesterday morning and found you lying at my door. I was shocked. Fortunately, you are okay. It's rare to see a living person these days. If I finally saw one and he died before I could talk to him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it."

"Come to think of it, I still don't know your name? Where are you from? How old are you this year? Your clothes are really nice, and you look good too. You shouldn't be from around here, right?"

"Ah! Could it be an immortal who has not yet been possessed by the devil?"

Guiyan said a lot in one breath, leaving Ying with no way to interrupt. She thought that if Paimeng was here, he would probably cover his head and complain, "Um~ How can this person talk so much?"

Fortunately, Gui Yan also realized his problem. He scratched the back of his head again and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I haven't talked to a living person in a long time. I finally saw a living person, and I really can't control myself."

"Never talked to a living person?" Ying noticed the strangeness of this sentence.

Why the emphasis on the living? Was she talking to the dead?

This reminded Ying of Wuwangpo and Heguan.

However, Ying did not ask questions immediately. She looked at the branches that Guiyan brought back, and thought that she had planned to go out just to find some things to make a fire (preferably with food). She did not expect to suddenly meet the owner of the house who had returned and stood in the cold wind for a long time. She decided to go into the house first to make a fire to warm herself, and then find out where this place was.

"My name is Ying, and I'm a traveler. Let's go in and talk first." Ying said as she helped Guiyan collect the branches, returned to the dilapidated house that was leaking air everywhere, and then made a fire in the stove. Only then did they feel the temperature had returned to a little bit.

After roasting the fire for about two or three minutes, Ying continued the previous topic.

"I'm traveling around the Seven Kingdoms now. I was originally staying on the Musk Reef in Mondstadt, but somehow I ended up on a mountain. Then someone knocked me unconscious for unknown reasons, and when I woke up I was lying on this bed." Ying pointed to the only hard bed in the room.

"Oh, so that's it~~~" Gui Yan, who was also warming herself by the fire, had a comfortable expression on her face. She was like a snowman that was about to melt, leaning against the hard bed, her whole body emitting a lazy aura, which was completely different from the feeling she had just given people.

"But which country is the Seven Kingdoms? What is Mondstadt? Maas... Reef? Such a difficult name."

"Mondstadt is one of the seven kingdoms. It is a free country that worships the wind god Barbatos." Ying said.

"I haven't heard of it. I only know that there was Youzhou and Meigu in the past, but I have never heard of Mond."

"I have never heard of Mondstadt, nor do I know about the Seven Kingdoms..."

"…Do you know Teyvat?"

"Don't know? What is that?"

Ying, who had experience in traveling to different worlds, understood what she heard. Now she had come to a world different from Teyvat. Although she didn't know why she had traveled through time and how to return to Teyvat, since she could come here, she naturally had a way to go back.

"Teyvat is a place I traveled to before. It is another world different from here." Ying had no intention of hiding this fact. She believed that if Gui Yan wanted to harm her, he would have done it while she was unconscious.

Since the other party had no ill intentions and had even helped her, she should be sincere when it was time to do so. Maybe Guiyan could help her return to Teyvat as soon as possible.

When Gui Yan heard Ying's explanation, he was confused at first, then shocked, and then his face was full of joy.

"Another world! Is there really another world? It's not the world that people go to after they die, right?"

"Of course not." Ying smiled bitterly, realizing that although Guiyan was very lively, there always seemed to be a dark side to her thoughts.

After thinking about this, Ying recalled the words the other party had said before, such as "never talked to a living person" and "a demon-possessed immortal". With an idea in his mind, he asked:

"By the way, what about the possessed immortal you mentioned earlier? Has he ever spoken to a living person? Is there no one around here?"

"Hmm?" Gui Yan tilted her head, as if she didn't understand what Ying meant, or as if she was still immersed in the things in the other world that Ying just mentioned, but soon she smiled and said:

"Oh, yes, yes, you are from another world, so of course you don't know."

"In fact, all the immortals here have been possessed by demons. Those who were alive before are now basically dead. I am the only one left here."

"Ah, but even though everyone is dead, I discovered that even the dead can speak."

"..."

Gui Yan was clearly smiling, but the words that came out of her mouth were so weird that Ying felt her body become cold again.

Perhaps it was because the other party said such words with a smile that it seemed more frightening.

The immortals have all become possessed by demons.

The person is dead, but can still speak.

Is this world a little too crazy?

Ying hadn't figured out how to respond yet. At this moment, as if to allow Ying to have a deeper understanding of Gui Yan's words, a series of light noises suddenly came from the broken wooden door of the dilapidated cottage.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Someone is knocking on the door!

But didn't Guiyan say that she was the only one here? Then who was knocking on the door?

Ying turned her head stiffly, and through the wooden door that was so broken that it had lost its function, she saw the scene outside the house.

There was no one there.
