Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

It's raining.

Raindrops fell from the sky, splashing up dark red water droplets in the pool of blood that gradually gathered on the bluestone slab, and splattering the scattered petals of the soft lantern with a touch of blood.

Clementine rested quietly on Peruvier's shoulder, a relieved smile appearing on her pale face.

A sharp blade pierced through her abdomen, and the gushing blood stained the clothes that were tightly pressed together between the two people, turning them a blood-red stain, like a dark red withered plum blossom.

"Pepe."

"You will become..."

“A very good… ‘King’.”

The blood flowing from the wound soaked Peruvieri's palms, and the blood-stained blade pierced abruptly from the girl's tender body; her hand trembled.

A metallic taste rose in her throat and spilled from the corner of her mouth. The excruciating pain continued to erode Clementine's consciousness, and the world before her eyes began to blur and darken.

So this is what death feels like...

I'm a little regretful now.

Brother Mufeng, if I have the chance, I really, really want to see you one more time.

"sorry."

The girl's throat made a hoarse, gurgling sound, and blood filled her trachea. She was no longer able to convey her final apology to anyone.

Clementine forced a smile and cast one last, wistful glance at this colorful world.

Mother, Peipei, Brother Mufeng, Elodie.

Bye now.

The arms that had been holding Peruvieri’s shoulders slowly loosened, and Clementine’s small body fell backward like a bird with broken wings plummeting from the sky, helplessly plunging into the bottomless abyss.

Before the boundless darkness completely swallowed the light, she saw the boy she had been longing for rushing towards her from afar.

Did you hear me, Brother Mufeng?

But this is Clayville,

It must look really, really bad...

"Clap."

The girl's body crashed heavily to the ground, splattering blood onto the bluestone slabs.

……

"Cravlie!"

In the rain, the disheveled boy rushed forward at his fastest speed, but in the end, he only caught a few splashes of bright red blood.

No.

Please.

Mu Feng's hand trembled as he touched the blade that had pierced Clementine's body, gently brushing against the girl's gruesome wounds. His trembling fingers jerked back as if burned by embers.

That was Clementine's own sword.

"do not die."

he muttered.

The girl in his arms had closed her eyes, and a faint smile remained on her pale face.

She was like someone who was just asleep, but could jump up at any moment and startle him with a grin.

But Mu Feng could feel that Clementine's body temperature was rapidly decreasing, just like her life was gradually drifting away from his.

In the end, he was still a step too late.

And it was at this step that he lost Valenciennes, and he had lost Elodie.

Now, he is about to miss out on Clementine again.

I hate it so much.

Mu Feng's vision was blurred by the rain, and his hair clung to his face with the rain. In a daze, Kujavina's high heels appeared in his field of vision, stepping on the blood.

"Flowers that are not growing well should have been pruned long ago."

"It's disgusting that it took so long to wither."

"What do you say?"

"Mufeng Xuenetsevich?"

Kujavina's blood-red lips moved slightly. She seemed quite relaxed, as if the tragic death of her own daughter was a comforting blessing in her heart.

With his back to Kujavina, Mu Feng stood up, and the golden light representing time shone like the blazing sun, freezing the continuously falling raindrops.

"Take a break, Clementine."

You must be tired too.

Mu Feng gently kissed Clementine's cool forehead and softly leaned her small body against the wall in a corner where she wouldn't get wet.

Then, he drew his sword and pointed it at Kujavina, who was holding an umbrella in the rain, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

"Children always think their tricks can fool adults, don't they?"

Ignoring the sharp blades pointed at her, Kujavina was like a predator that had caught its prey, her dark blue eyes flashing with an eerie cold light.

She held up the umbrella, her tone slightly teasing.

"The House of Hearth has eyes and ears in Mondstadt, and even in every corner of Teyvat."

"What are you going to do?"

"my child?"

Her answer was a slash aimed straight at her heart.

"when!"

Kujavina held her umbrella horizontally, easily blocking Mu Feng's murderous blade, as if such an attack was insignificant in her eyes.

Is that all?

The next moment, a sharp piercing attack came from behind Kujavina. She sneered and guided a water blade, perfectly intercepting Peruvieri's sneak attack.

"Innocence and kindness, what wonderful qualities."

"Unfortunately... it's completely useless!"

Kujavina dodged the two attackers, threw off her black robe, and lunged forward, unleashing a fierce slash infused with water elemental power.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The evil eye of the ice element condensed, and frost crystals froze the water blades that tore through the air. The golden light of time then transformed into invisible chains that wrapped around Kujavina's body, hindering her movements.

Peruvieri stepped forward in perfect unison, hurling the burning flame in her hand towards Kujavina.

"boom!"

The clash of ice and fire stirred up a large amount of water vapor, but Kujavina simply patted her black robe and emerged from the smoke unharmed.

"Dotole really values ​​you."

"It's just a pity, how much longer can you hold on?"

Mu Feng did not answer. The light from the Evil Eye and the Eye of God in his hand shone brightly, and together with Peruvieri, they launched another attack.

Gold, red, and blue flashes alternated, and a sharp shockwave swept across the entire dueling arena.

However, as time went on, Mu Feng's already dwindling life force gradually faded along with the burning of the Evil Eye, and the constraints of time seemed to weaken as well.

Kujavina keenly sensed the weakness in their attack. She swung the water blade in her left hand to repel Peruvieri, and then her figure transformed into a blur as she rushed towards Mu Feng.

Peruvieri's pupils contracted sharply. She leaped forward to try and save him, but Kujavina's hand was already gripping Mu Feng's neck.

"Stop struggling."

"Let me, as your mother, teach you how to be a proper 'king.'"

Peruvieri stopped in her tracks, her bright red cross-shaped eyes hesitant, and the flame in her hand gradually died out.

"The first lesson is: never be soft-hearted towards anyone!"

Kujavina sneered and raised her hand to snap Mu Feng's neck. However, she didn't notice that Mu Feng, who was in danger, suddenly smiled.

By the time she noticed that manic yet resolute smile, it was already too late.

The golden light of time shone brightly, and the chains that severed their movement bound the two tightly together; the Evil Eye of Ice condensed frost all over the ground, simultaneously imprisoning Mu Feng and Kujavina, who were standing in the water.

Mu Feng reached out his hand to Peruvier with difficulty, his frost-covered fingers slowly making a gesture.

That was their code word for the mission, meaning to attack at all costs.

Regardless of casualties.

Peruvier felt a moment of disorientation, as if she were back in the conversation she had with the boy in the hospital bed a few days earlier.

This is the last chance.

Pepe.

The boy's pleading gaze met Peruvier's in mid-air, and he knew she understood what he meant.

Peruvieri closed her eyes, opened her arms, and let the dark curse stain her fingertips.

A blood moon rose behind her, and the marble and walls of the floor were engulfed in crimson flames. A fiery red eye of God descended from the void, guiding the blazing blood fire to destroy everything around it.

Panic and horror finally appeared on Kujavina's face. She tried her best to break free of her restraints, but could only watch as the raging flames grew larger and larger in her eyes.

"boom!!"

Blood-red light shot into the sky, and the towering dueling arena collapsed in an instant, sending rocks flying and the earth trembling. A scene like the end of the world descended at this moment.

Raindrops evaporated, mountains were leveled, and all life withered in the blood moon.

After everything calmed down, the center of the ruins was pitch black, and there was no trace of Kujavina left.

has it ended?

Peruvier staggered forward a few steps, pushing through the dust and smoke from the explosion, and stumbled toward the center of the dueling arena, her eyes anxiously searching for Mu Feng's figure.

A deep blue light flashed in a corner, and an ice elemental shield formed by the Evil Eye protected Mu Feng and Kreevie from the aftershocks of the explosion.

"Are you all alright..."

Mu Feng slowly stood up, and a look of horror appeared in Peruvier's eyes. She stared blankly at the figure standing up from the ruins, at a loss for what to do.

The Mu Feng before me was no longer the sixteen-year-old boy he once was. His hair was completely white, and his face was covered with wrinkles, making him look like an old man on his deathbed.

His body was covered with abrasions and burns, and his scorched left hand hung limply, like a piece of dry, rotten wood.

"you……"

"It looks terrible, doesn't it?"

A smile appeared on the boy's aged face, seemingly unconcerned about his injuries and situation. He asked softly:

"We won, didn't we?"

Peruvieri's voice choked for a moment. She remained silent for a long time before a low reply came.

"Ah."

Mu Feng smiled with relief and struggled to get up. Peruvian stepped forward to help him, but he gently pushed her away.

The light representing time shone once more in Mu Feng's fading body, like the last brilliant glow of a dying candle before it was extinguished.

"Stop, you can't..."

Realizing something was wrong, Peruvieri quickly stepped forward to stop it, but was ruthlessly blocked by the laws of time.

"Pepe."

"Our 'home' is now in your hands."

The boy's smile magnified in Peruvieri's pupils. She struggled against the constraints of time, but her weakness rendered her powerless to resist the burst of life-burning energy from Mu Feng.

Mu Feng gently stroked Peruvieri's short white hair, and the golden light gently blended into her body, suppressing the darkness that had spread to her arms.

"it does not matter."

He spoke softly, turning his gaze to Clementine, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. His fingers stroked her cheek, his eyes filled with an indescribable tenderness and warmth.

Go home, Clementine.

"In the name of time,"

"I curse this."

The boy murmured in a hoarse voice, an ancient incantation was being awakened, and a dormant authority was resonating.

"Her life will remain in this moment forever."

The golden light grew even brighter, raindrops in the air froze in mid-air, and the ancient clock reappeared in the flowing water, hanging upside down in the dark night.

Bricks and tiles were put back in place, grass grew green again, wounds healed, and the dead were brought back to life.

Under the light, Mu Feng's body began to gradually disintegrate. He raised his hand, and the light spots in his palm gradually dissipated into the long flow of time.

The boy smiled and picked up the Eye of God, gently placing it on Clementine's chest. A gentle breeze, following its master's wish, quietly wrapped around her wrist.

"I'm sorry, Clementine."

"I might have to break my promise to you about the little cake I gave you last time."

"From now on, take my eyes and see the world for me."

The petals of the soft lanterns swirled in the golden breeze, scattering and falling in scattered pieces.

This time, it's really goodbye.

On his deathbed, he saw the tall Wind Fist officer walking towards him from upstream in time, laughing and extending his hand to him.

"Good lad! You haven't disgraced us Winter Solstice people!"

"Just got some good wine, wanna have a bottle?"

The boy smiled, took the bottle of wine from the other person, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"my pleasure."

In a pristine white world, the two figures walked side by side, gradually disappearing into the distance.
