Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Little Loquat's condition improved day by day, and Long Xianlin also hoped that he could continue to be healthy and happy. However, that day never came.

Five years ago, the sand bandits disguised themselves as strangers in distress and came to the rain forest. That night, the sky of the village was dyed red by bloody flames.

The sand bandits brandished swords and knives, robbing everywhere and killing anyone who resisted.

At that time, out of hatred for the sand bandits, little loquat risked his life and tried every possible means to attract the attention of the sand bandits.

He kept running, and from time to time he looked back to check if the bandits were following him...

"And so, he led the bandits into the rainforest, and Little Loquat risked his own life to lead them to the lair of the poisonous insects. When the disaster subsided, forest rangers entered the rainforest to look for Little Loquat and the bandits, only to find the bandits' bodies scattered in the deep valley."

Long Xianlin would never forget that day. Beside a huge rock at the entrance of the valley, Little Loquat sat quietly, with dried blood at the corner of his mouth and his body pierced by poisonous needles...

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, leaving only the flickering candlelight in the room. After a long pause, Zhao Heng sighed softly, "So, to save Little Loquat, you took the risk of making the Resurrection Pill."

Long Xianlin nodded. "That's right. In fact, the Resurrection Pill has existed for a thousand years. It's not just a rumor, there are fragments of the recipe everywhere in the folk. I used the same method to maintain the vitality of Little Loquat. It took a long time to finally compile the recipe. But just when I was looking forward to giving Little Loquat the Resurrection Pill..."

"Little Loquat did come back from the dead, but just like Ge Lian, it was just a fleeting moment..." Zhao Heng folded his arms and sighed again, "Oh, I see. No wonder you didn't do anything about her resurrection."

Long Xianlin looked up at the night sky. "Yes, reality ruthlessly defeated me. I could only watch the little loquat turn into starlight and disappear before my eyes. From then on, I was devastated and the clinic almost collapsed because of it."

At this time, Kailin said with a somewhat sad expression: "God is too cruel, whether it's Little Loquat or Ge Lian, why is it always like this..."

"This might be the 'Law of the Rainforest'. 'Survival of the fittest'—such a simple phrase, yet so cruel..." Long Xianlin gave a wry smile, then turned around and returned to his room. "It's getting late. Let's go check on Bai Yan first. The scars in his heart won't heal quickly. At least until he's completely over this, he still needs my company."

Hearing this, Kailin was stunned again: "Ah? So you still want us to come out?"

"Hmm? Sometimes, don't you think that letting the patient calm down before communicating with him/her will be more effective in curing his/her condition?" Long Xianlin said with a chuckle.

Kailin shrugged and said, "Okay, okay. Sometimes I really don't understand what you doctors are thinking."

Everyone returned to the dormitory full of flowers, but unlike before, this time, there was more heaviness and silence.

In the room, Bai Yan was leaning against the wall and had fallen asleep at some point. There were still traces of tears on his cheeks, and he was talking in his sleep.

"Gelen, don't leave me..."

His voice was soft, but also very pitiful.

Seeing this, Long Xianlin shook his head: "It seems that we can't just leave him here."

"Do you want to stay here?" Kailin asked.

Long Xianlin nodded. "Well, I'll stay and watch over him. You've all been tired all day, go and rest. I'm a doctor, so I know better how to deal with his current condition."

Zi Xuan looked at Bai Yan, then at Long Xianlin: "Okay then, if you need any help, feel free to call us."

Everyone left the room one after another, closing the door quietly. It was at this moment that Kailin started to act up again.

"Mr. Bai Yan's condition is truly heartbreaking. Is there no other way..."

At this time, Zhao Heng sighed and said, "I understand your feelings, but the dead cannot be resurrected. Besides, Doctor Long also said that matters of yin and yang are beyond our control. So even if you have this intention, there is nothing we can do."

However, after listening to what Zhao Heng said, Kailin did not say anything, but just lowered her head and thought for a while. The next second, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Seeing this, Mo Yan immediately had a bad feeling: "Wait a minute, are you coming up with some new tricks?"

……

Netherworld Festival, Yama Hall. Yama King Hu Xiaotao stood in the hall, looking at the two people in front of him with a ghostly look of disbelief, as if saying, "Why are you here again?"

At this time, Kailin rubbed her hands, looked at Hu Xiaotao and smiled, "Master Hu Tao, we are here again~"

Snapped!

Hu Xiaotao slammed the table after hearing this and said, "Hey, what are you doing? Do you think I'm the Netherworld where you can come and go as you please?"

At this time, Mo Yan stood aside, slapping his forehead helplessly.

Kailin stretched out her hands to comfort him, "Okay, okay, don't be so angry. We came here today because we want to ask for your help."

"Things? Could it be that... we agreed in advance that no matter what the matter is, as long as it involves yin and yang, it's off the table!" Hu Xiaotao said angrily, her hands on her hips.

Seeing this, Kailin quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course not. It's just that we have a friend in the mortal world who once wanted to commit suicide because of the death of a family member. So we just want to inquire about his friend's situation."

"Oh? Is that so? Fine, then I'll reluctantly do it..."

Hu Xiaotao turned around, and although she said that, her face showed a bit of boredom.

"Really? If it weren't for the fact that you're acquaintances of that guy, I wouldn't appreciate your kindness."

She glanced at the locker and pulled out a box of dusty scrolls.

"By the way, what's the name of that friend you're talking about? How old is he?"

"Oh, her name is Ge Lian. She is from Shaling. I heard that she died of poisoning in the rainforest three years ago. We don't know the rest." Kailin explained.

"Okay, let me look for it..." Hu Xiaotao's fingertips slid across the yellowed scroll and suddenly stopped at one spot. "I found it. Let me take a look..."

She frowned slightly, pulled out the scroll and shook it open.

"Well, Ge Lian, from Shaling, was out collecting herbs with her lover three years ago when she was accidentally attacked by a poisonous monster and eventually died. The details recorded here are exactly the same as what you said, but unfortunately, if you want to find her, you'll have to wait for her 'next life'." Hu Xiaotao closed the scroll.

"What do you mean?" Karen asked.

"Huh? Do I need to explain this? It's obvious that your friend's relatives have already entered the cycle of reincarnation and completed their reincarnation. But please rest assured, your friend. I just checked and she has been reincarnated into a kind family. As long as nothing unexpected happens in this life, she can be happy." Hu Xiaotao said with her hands on her hips.

"Really? That's great. I believe Bai Yan will be very happy in the future." Kailin danced with excitement.

At this time, Hu Xiaotao folded her arms and spoke again, "Don't be too happy yet. You must remember that this is the underworld. Therefore, information about the deceased cannot be easily disclosed to outsiders."

"Uh, that seems to be the case." Kailin scratched her head awkwardly again.

"Hey, your expression changes too quickly, doesn't it?" Mo Yan complained from the side.
