Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"There's someone over there!"

The scene of the fish coming out of a person's mouth made Ying feel uncomfortable. She quickly spoke out to remind her companions, and Gu Ling quickly looked in the direction Ying pointed.

Gui Yan also opened her eyes at the same time. As for Ling Yue, she had already used her spiritual sense to investigate as soon as Ying spoke. However, neither Gu Ling nor Ling Yue could find the person Ying was talking about.

Even Ying herself was sure that she didn't even blink when she saw that person, but the other person suddenly disappeared.

"It's gone..." Ying said in surprise, "Did I see it wrong?"

Ying shook her head, thinking that it was better to believe it than not, and described the appearance of the person she had just seen to everyone.

"Fish came out of its mouth?" Ling Yue raised her voice a little when she heard this, because she also noticed the abnormality that she had not noticed before.

That is, there is not a single fish in such a big lake.

"There are so many anomalies that I even regard some of the abnormal situations as normal. But no matter what, there is no way there is not a single fish in such a big lake. Even if they have all turned into monsters, they shouldn't be like this now."

Ling Yue explored her spiritual sense to the limit of what she could perceive, and it turned out that she could only sense the existence of the town, but there was no life in the town.

"Hehe, at this time, you have to rely on me, your senior." Gu Ling said proudly.

"Although I have only been in this town for a short period of time, I have summarized some very useful rules. First of all, the creatures here only move during the day and at night."

"But..." Ying was about to ask a question, but Gu Ling did not give her a chance to speak and quickly continued:

"And now it is dusk. Between dusk and dawn, no living creatures will appear at the bottom of the lake, whether human or fish."

"Is there such a thing? Where did all those people go?" This time it was Guiyan who felt puzzled. Although Guiyan was a little scared when he first entered the lake, he felt a little calmer now and was amazed at the scene at the bottom of the lake.

"Of course it was hidden." Gu Ling blinked mysteriously, "I think that immortal junior should understand what I mean."

Ling Yue?

Ying felt a little curious. She turned to look at Guiyan. Guiyan also closed her eyes and asked Lingyue. However, this time Lingyue waited for a while until everyone landed on the roof of the town. Her voice rang in everyone's mind:

"Could it be that this entire lake has its own consciousness?"

The lake has a consciousness of its own?

Ying frowned, did not interrupt Ling Yue, and waited for her to continue.

"All the creatures in the lake have been assimilated by the lake. They will appear as individuals according to the will of the lake, or merge into the lake and disappear."

"What about us? Will we be assimilated by the lake water?" Ying asked nervously. She believed that Guiyan also wanted to ask this question. She didn't think that being assimilated by the lake water was a good thing.

"As long as you don't stay too long, it will be fine. You will also feel it when it assimilates. With your strength, there is no need to worry too much."

"For example, the person you just saw."

"The man who spit out fish from his mouth? By the way, why wasn't he assimilated?" Ying asked.

"As I said before, there are two demon-possessed immortals who have been attracted here. The one you just saw is probably one of them."

After Gu Ling finished speaking, she swam towards the room that Ying had pointed out before. With the help of the water-avoiding technique she performed, Ying felt that her movements in the water were not hindered at all, and were even easier than on land.

Soon they arrived at the window, and Gu Ling boldly leaned half of her body in, leaving her two white legs dangling outside.

After a while, Gu Ling suddenly screamed, and fell uncontrollably into the house, screaming "Ahhh!"

Ying quickly reached out and grabbed the other person's leg, but Gu Ling, in panic, kicked Ying's hand away.

As mentioned before, Gu Ling was very strong, far beyond what her appearance showed. The kick she threw in panic was also very powerful, and it actually made Ying feel numb in her hand, and she involuntarily let go of her hand. As a result, Gu Ling fell into the house.

"Gu Ling, are you okay?" Ying shouted hurriedly, covering her injured hand.

Gu Ling in the room was silent for a while, and then responded in a slightly embarrassed but high-pitched tone:

“…Call me senior!”

"I was just testing your reaction ability, but I didn't expect you to fail to catch me and caused me to fall."

"But Ying clearly grabbed your legs, and you kicked it away yourself." Gui Yan retorted in a low voice. After saying this, Gu Ling fell into silence again.

"…There's no one in the house. It's safe. Please come in."

"It seems that she has given up on herself and decided to ignore Guiyan's words." Ying complained in her heart, rubbing her injured hand. It was estimated that bruises would appear. She sighed in her heart: "It hurts so much. How can she be so strong?"

Then the two of them followed into the house and found that not only was there no one inside, but there were not many furnitures either. There was only a table, a stool, and some open books scattered on the ground - the books were obviously soaked in water, but the pages were still dry, and even the words on them were not affected at all.

There is a small cabinet on the left after entering the house, but it is empty and the drawers are tightly locked. The roof above is not flat, but tilted to both sides. It seems that this is not a house for living, but an attic.

There was a trap door behind the stool, connected to a wooden ladder. Ying looked under the ladder and found that there should be no light coming in from below, but it was very bright.

"Could that person be hiding under here?" Gui Yan came up to Ying and asked, pointing at the trap door.

However, Ling Yue answered her question first:

"No, I checked with my spiritual sense, and there is no one in this room."

"That's right, the guy you saw must be one of the immortals who has been possessed by a demon." Gu Ling put her hands on her hips and nodded with certainty.

"To be honest, even I didn't understand what those two guys were trying to do. I had a few encounters with them, but they ran away quickly every time."

"I thought the possessed immortals would attack us directly." Ying said based on his experience with Hei Lingyue and Bai Han.

"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things." Gu Ling shrugged and then jumped directly to the wooden ladder.

"Let's go. I'll show you around the town and familiarize you with the environment."

Ying and Guiyan naturally would not refuse Gu Ling's request, so the two of them followed Gu Ling.

They first explored the house and found that although there was no one here, it was full of the breath of life. There were open books in the study, fruit plates in the living room, and even a fire burning in the kitchen!

That's right, fire in the water.

Ying observed the flame in the water and found that although this fire looked the same as a normal flame, it was frozen without any shaking, as if it was recorded with a camera.

"Is it that it never moves, or is it that after the people disappeared, everything here also froze?"

There was no answer to this question for the time being. Ying and Guiyan followed Gu Ling to the street and found that there were still footprints of people coming and going on the ground. There was even a half-cut winter melon on the vegetable stall in the market.

There is a well in the center of the town. There is a rope hanging by the well, connected to a sturdy wooden barrel with a bucket of clean water in it.

The water was transparent and colorless, but it could be clearly distinguished from the water in the lake. Ying tried to touch the bucket of water and found that the water was just like the flame he had seen before, and was also still.

Ying looked around and could even infer the living conditions of the people here from the footprints on the ground and the traces of life around her, but now, there was no one here.

At this time, Gu Ling approached Ying, tugged at her clothes, then pointed to the "sky", that is, the lake, and said:

"It's getting dark. Let's go outside the town first and come in later."

"why?"

"This is the advice of our seniors," Gu Ling pouted in dissatisfaction, but still explained:

"The people here will appear at the moment of darkness, but in their eyes, we are the ones who suddenly appear. What do you think they would think if someone suddenly appeared in front of an 'ordinary person'?"

"What if those 'ordinary people' are actually transformed monsters?"

After saying that, Gu Ling pulled Ying and Gui Yan away from the town without saying anything. Soon night fell, and the lights in the town suddenly came on.

In just a moment, all kinds of sounds were heard in the town, as if the silence just now was an illusion.

This town came alive.
