Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Feng Ling spoke slowly, her eyes peeling off Funina's background layer by layer like peeling an onion.

"You don't have to actively control it, or even be aware of the danger. Your body's instinct will protect you from it. Just like when Kuang Dao attacked you from behind just now, you didn't even look back, but Bing appeared on his own."

Finina froze, as if her biggest secret had been exposed. But she remained calm.

"So... so what?" Funina forced herself to straighten her back, trying to cover up her guilt with stubbornness.

Feng Ling smiled softly. "I almost fell for your trick. I originally thought you were relying on your elusive power to scare us off, but now it seems your sole purpose is to buy time until your companions come to rescue you, right?"

Finina froze again, the stubbornness on her face instantly crumbling, leaving only the panic of having her thoughts seen through. She was indeed stalling for time, praying that Linni and the others would arrive quickly. Feng Ling's words were like a key, precisely unlocking the calculations hidden deep in her heart.

"Well...even if you know, so what? My friends are almost here. If you don't want to be caught, you'd better leave quickly!" She put her hands on her hips, and she was extremely nervous at the moment.

Hearing this, Feng Ling chuckled: "Really? It seems that you are sure that you can hold on until they come back. However, whether it will be too late or not, let us wait and see."

She held her scythe horizontally, and instantly, a reassuring elemental force permeated the scene. It was strangely soothing, like the warm afternoon sun shining on a lake, making one want to stretch.

"I'm the one who's going to put an end to this farce."

"The spirit of dreams, sinking into the realm of illusion!"

Feng Ling waved her sickle, and instantly, thousands of pink butterflies swarmed out, sweeping towards Funina like a dazzling storm. The phosphorus dust scattered by the flapping of their wings condensed into countless tiny specks of light in the air, creating a dreamlike scene.

"What kind of trick is this?"

Furninna was alert.

"What a strange elemental power! Is this her method? But with Phoenix here, there's nothing to worry about..."

She thought so in her heart, but what happened the next second was beyond her expectations.

The dream butterflies gathered towards her in a spiral, the phosphorus powder weaving a shimmering web in the air, enveloping Finina completely. At first, nothing seemed unusual, but when the tiny specks of light touched her skin, she didn't have time to be surprised before a sudden surge of sleepiness overwhelmed her, and her eyelids felt heavy as if weighed down by lead.

"So...sleepy..." Furniture shook her head, trying to dispel the feeling, but her consciousness was like a drop of ink dropped into water, gradually blurring and becoming blurred. "How could it be...Phoenix, why aren't you responding?"

She originally thought that this time, like before, the cold air would automatically explode and block the dream butterfly outside, but until those pink spots of light entered her nostrils along with her breath, the power of Phoenix was still dormant in her chest, without any movement.

Dreams are a magical element. They are soft and can make people fall into sleep and immerse themselves in a false peace. They are wonderful and can make people forget their pain and indulge in the most desired fantasy. At the same time, they are also sad and can make people fall into nightmares, struggling in endless fear but unable to wake up.

The Nightmare, however, exploited the very nature of dreams, silently undermining people's will. It wasn't a direct threat, so it naturally couldn't trigger Funina's passive defenses based on "danger."

"Immerse yourself in infinite dreams!" Feng Ling said softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Furninna's consciousness finally succumbed to the sleepiness, her vision went dark, and she fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

thump!

"Is it over? The big sister is still the best." Kuang Dao put away his two swords and walked towards Funina and said with a smile.

Hong Tao nodded, then shattered the ice crystals hanging from his body with a kick. "That's right, honestly, this girl is truly bizarre. No matter how Kuang Dao and I attack, the power in her body seems to have eyes, always helping her to block it."

Feng Ling folded her arms and sneered, "Alright, stop flattering me. There was such a big commotion just now. Now that no one has come, take this girl away quickly."

"Okay, let me do it." Hong Tao nodded.

He came to Finina's side, leaned down, and just as he touched the corner of her clothes, he suddenly felt a piercing chill at his fingertips.

"Hmm?" Hong Tao frowned and looked up, quickly pulling his hand back. "What's going on? Wasn't this girl unconscious? Why is this power still there?"

Feng Ling lowered her head and thought, "It seems that even if she faints, the power in this girl will automatically protect her from external malice. It's really troublesome, but the doctor should like the gift we found for him."

As she spoke, she summoned a small group of dream butterflies, and with a gentle wave of her right hand, she wove a pink phantom cloth, which she then covered her body with.

"Wrap her up so you don't have to worry about being eroded by the cold energy from her body for the time being."

Hong Tao wrapped Funina tightly with the magic cloth as instructed, and when he touched her again, she no longer felt cold. But at this moment, many impatient footsteps suddenly came from not far away.

"Captain! Clara! How are you guys?"

Linny, along with Linnet and Femini, rushed to the scene first, but when they saw what was happening in front of them, they were stunned for a moment.

He opened his eyes wide, and when he saw the appearance of the three people and the characteristics of the weapons in their hands, he instantly knew the other party's identity.

"You...are from the Fallen Angel Troupe!"

Feng Ling smiled softly: "It seems that there are quite a few people in the Abyss who know us."

Linny instantly became alert and looked around, only then he noticed that Clara was lying on the side with several stab wounds, and Funina had also been packed up and was ready to be taken away.

"Clara? Captain? What did you do to them?" he roared.

At this time, Klee, Monae, Mona, Grayshu, Tabak and others also arrived here one after another.

Feng Ling turned around and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we were very gentle. Your partner just fainted."

Linny gritted his teeth and yelled again: "What do you want to do to the leader? Let her go!"

"That won't do. We spent a lot of effort to catch her. If you just let her go, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?" Kuang Dao said arrogantly with his hands folded.

"Stop talking nonsense and put the leader down immediately, or we will never forgive you!"

Linny's hand glowed blood-red, and the next second, a blood-red sickle appeared out of thin air. Linnet, seeing this, unhesitatingly summoned a longsword from the wind. Femini, meanwhile, pulled out a large, mechanical-inspired sword from nowhere.

"Oh? Just relying on you little guys who are not even contractors?" Hong Tao sneered and raised his battle axe again.
