Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

“William Neil, are you really going to do this?”

A conversation like this was heard in the void. A young man was standing next to another burly man. The scene was noisy and accompanied by noise.

"No, only this can kill the deep ones...tsk tsk tsk..."

I couldn't hear their conversation clearly. The severe memory loss even made me dizzy, but the two of them mentioned the "deep sinner" several times in their conversation.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting outside the cave, and Zhao Heng was awakened from his sleep. At this moment, Kailin was standing beside him and calling him.

"Hey, stupid fool, wake up!"

She pushed herself very anxiously, and he rubbed his eyes slowly, not understanding the situation for a moment.

"What happened? Kailin."

"What happened? Another pack of wolves suddenly attacked us, and Uncle Williams and the others have already started fighting!" Karen said anxiously.

Zhao Heng was startled. He quickly grabbed his gun and ran out of the cave. Chaos ensued. Not only Williams, but also Katz and Nina had joined the fray. Williams and Katz had transformed into wolves, while Nina had only her hands free, her face still a human one.

Wolves attacked one after another, mixed with slimes, brown bears and other monsters.

Zhao Heng frowned, and with his spear, he thrust, swept, swung, stabbed, and whipped. The entire set of movements flowed like flowing water, forcing the monsters to retreat one after another. This continued for about ten minutes. Only after all the monsters were eliminated could everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh my God, where do all these monsters come from?" Karin said as she sat on the ground and took a breath.

Moon Wolf looked at Williams and asked, "Mr. Williams, you live here. Has the mountain always been like this recently?"

Williams shook his head and said, "No, although monsters have appeared more frequently recently, it's never been like today. I can tell that these monsters didn't attack us intentionally. It's like they were frightened and came out in droves."

At this time, Qiao San on the side began to feel afraid.

"Sure enough, this is a sign that the devil is about to revive, right?"

Moon Wolf didn't respond. He lowered his head in thought, then said, "It's normal for monsters to come out en masse. Usually, environmental changes and invasions by foreign enemies are the main causes of this phenomenon."

"You mean that the environment where the monsters live has been disturbed by external forces, so they have become restless?" Karin asked, standing up.

"You can say that." Yue Tianlang nodded.

Zhao Heng stood there, looking at the corpses of monsters scattered all over the ground, lost in thought. Suddenly, for some reason, he felt a splitting headache and nearly collapsed to the ground.

"My Lord, please keep my secret. I'm...slurp, slurp..."

It's this dream again. No, it's more like someone else's memory than a dream, but what is going on?

"Hey, Zhao Heng, are you okay?"

At this moment, Karin's anxious voice brought him back from his "memory". When he came to his senses, everyone surrounded him worriedly.

"Hey, how are you? Don't scare me!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhao Heng stood up and shook his head.

After hearing what Zhao Heng said, Kailin gradually felt relieved.

"Really? Don't scare me!"

Yue Tianlang came to Zhao Heng and asked, "Mr. Zhao Heng, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhao Heng shook his head and replied, "No, I just had a dream, a dream about William Neil."

"William Neil?" The four people exclaimed, and this instantly attracted Williamsk's attention.

"Well, in the dream, he was with the evil spirit, and he mentioned a name many times, 'the deep sinner'." Zhao Heng nodded and explained.

The Deep Sinner, when everyone heard this name, they expressed doubts, only Yue Tianlang fell into anxiety.

"A deep criminal? I see. That makes sense."

"What do you mean?" Kailin turned her head and asked.

"It's a bit complicated. It's said that Teyvat once existed in multiple dimensions, and the Deep Sinners are demons from the Abyss. They are a high-level species among demons, and each Deep Sinner is said to be one-third as powerful as the eight current guardians."

At this time, Kailin seemed to be relieved and said, "Only one-third, then I feel relieved. After all, if they can't even beat you, they must be more than enough for us."

"Is that so?" Tianlang gave her a cold look. "Don't speak too soon. The Deep Sinners can manipulate all elements, even concentrating their power for defense and summoning their own demonic armies. However, this isn't the most difficult part. Demons' power originates from the evil thoughts within the human heart, and they can absorb all the negative emotions within their perception range to enhance their own strength. Even the Ice Emperor, Rexroth, dares not underestimate them."

"No way, there are such dangerous things in this world?" Karen said in horror.

At this time, Williams came over and asked, "Brother Tianlang knows so much about the Deep Sinners, have you encountered them before?"

"No, I saw all this in the Blood Princess's library," Tianlang shook his head. "I think the demon your ancestors faced back then was most likely the Deep Sinner, and the demonic unrest today is most likely a sign of the Deep Sinner's imminent resurrection."

"Then how did Zhao Heng see his memories with the evil spirit?" Karen asked again.

At this moment, Mo Yan also echoed, "Yes, logically speaking, William Neil should have died in that battle 500 years ago."

After hearing the two's questions, Tianlang lowered his head and thought carefully before saying, "Well, I think what he saw was probably a fragment of William Neil's memory. As for why he saw it, I'm not sure. Perhaps Mr. Zhao Heng has a certain degree of compatibility with the evil contract of the evil demon?"

"What should we do now? Should we go back the same way?" Zi Xuan asked.

At this time, Williamsk stood up again.

"No, as the master of this place, I will never allow anyone to act recklessly here. Especially not the demon that our ancestors stopped at all costs."

"Wait, you don't want to go to the mountain alone, do you?" Karen asked suddenly.

Williams turned to look at Kailin and said, "If you are afraid, you can stay here or go back."

"No, shouldn't we consider the safety of others first in this situation?" Kailin said to Qiao San who was standing beside her.

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "I don't agree with you doing this either. The situation is becoming increasingly complicated. Acting separately will only put everyone in greater danger."

"Oh, so what do you want to do? Send the irrelevant people back down the mountain first, and then come back to deal with it? Humph, stop joking. Time is running out, and I don't have the energy to do anything else. Besides, you know how far this place is from the foot of the mountain. Not to mention how long it takes to go back and forth, there are so many monsters on the mountain road that you'll be tired to death!" Williams looked at Zhao Heng seriously.

At this moment, Qiao San seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly stood up and said, "It's okay. Let me go with you. Please rest assured that I will be careful not to cause any trouble for you."

"You've caused us trouble now." William Katz said from the side.

Zhao Heng stood there thinking for a long time, and then looked at Williams again.

"Excuse me, Mr. Williams, is there any side road or slightly wider road nearby that can lead directly to the center of Wolf Mountain?"
