Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

For my writing I need solitude, not "like a hermit"—that's not enough—but like a dead man. Writing, in this sense, is a deeper sleep, a death, just as one cannot and will not pull a dead man from his grave, one cannot pull me from my desk in the night. —Kafka

"My head hurts so much... I feel like I've forgotten something..." Chen Xi got out of bed, rubbed her temples with her hand, and the pain eased a bit.

"It's good that you're awake." The curtain was lifted, revealing a young man with light blue hair and a crow's beak mask covering the upper half of his face, exuding an ominous aura.

“Brother…” Chen Xi felt that everything in front of her was not so real. She dazedly snuggled into his arms and got close to him. The smell of medicine on him was not pungent, and Chen Xi liked it.

"You still remember me, not bad." He appeared indifferent while wearing the crow's beak mask, and placed his hand on Chen Xi's shoulder.

"elder brother?"

Chen Xi felt that something was off about him, so she turned around, took off his mask, and looked up to meet his gaze.

His blood-red eyes, like uncut gems, were striking, and were also considered an ominous sign by the people of Sumeru.

"Why aren't you talking to me?" The boy rubbed his head against him like a spoiled kitten, then hugged his waist. The boy had never relied on anyone like this before.

His eyes were still gentle, his sharpness concealed: "No, I was just thinking about whether my little one will leave me one day."

Chen Xi released her grip on him, her eyes filled with confusion: "No, brother is very good to me, why would you leave? I will stay by your side forever."

……

During his stay at the residence, Chen Xi clung to the "scholar" the whole time. Because he didn't want to fight with Wan Ye's friend, he had no choice but to follow the "scholar" wherever he went.

Waiting for the traveler to complete the story is a long process; he just needs to wait, and everything depends on how the story unfolds.

I wonder which scene the Traveler is on. I have to say the Fatui Clan's perks are really good. They have spare money to buy snacks in Inazuma Castle and even brought back a bottle of dango milk for themselves.

Chen Xi opened the bottle and drank it. It tasted sweet and smooth, with a hint of milk. No wonder he said that the customers who had tried it loved it.

Wait, milk?

After drinking half a bottle of dumpling milk, Chen Xi felt dizzy and nauseous, similar to motion sickness. Holding onto the table with one hand, she put down the half-empty bottle of dumpling milk, shaking her head, trying to clear her head.

The "scholar" noticed his abnormality, picked him up and carried him back to the main tent. He only felt better after being given a vomiting potion.

From then on, another rule was added to the station: no one was allowed to bring food containing milk to the twelfth seat [Wanderer], and violators would have half of their wages deducted.

This unlucky guy had half his salary deducted today because of this incident. If it weren't for Chen Xi pleading for him, the "scholar" would have cut him into pieces.

They learned the truth about the world and became wary of Sky Island, which later attracted the attention of Sky Island, leading to the extermination of Crane Watch.

Crane View, an isolated island in the sea, was once home to a prosperous kingdom thousands of years ago. The ancient inhabitants of Crane View discovered the truth of the world, understanding and utilizing the power of the Abyss and the Stars and Moon. However, the Sky Isle destroyed the Leyline Tree, causing chaos in the ley lines, and the ancient kingdom perished. Afterwards, a new group of people appeared in Crane View. From their conversations, it is revealed that their ancestors came from Inazuma, and that they knew foxes. The people rebuilt on the ruins of the ancient kingdom. Here, priests exist, fanatically pursuing the Thunderbird faith and performing blood sacrifices for it. But this is not what the Thunderbird desires, and the Thunderbird only sees humans as one of the myriad creatures of the forest.

After the Thunderbirds arrived, mist descended upon Crane View again. The people mistakenly believed that the Thunderbirds had sent down the mist to isolate the darkness and protect Crane View. In reality, it was just Sky Isles randomly throwing things to block the Abyss's view. However, the Thunderbirds' subsequent rampage caused a second disruption to the ley lines, allowing the Abyss to take advantage of the situation (the Hilichurls only appeared after the cycle began, and the wolves that originally existed in the Dark Sea also came to Crane View).

After Chen Xi's persistent pleading, the "scholar" agreed to accompany him to He Guan, that place of heartbreak.

Aruru!!!

It is the villagers' ignorance that has caused the deaths of many children like Aryu!

The holographic projection kept the tragedy playing on a loop. Chen Xi came here to end the tragedy. It was too late for the traveler to arrive; he couldn't wait any longer.

Aryu has entered the loop and there is no going back. She must have been reincarnated as a human by now. All Chen Xi wants to do now is to stop the holographic projection loop.

Mihoyo's knife skills have always been superb, not even sparing children. Because of this, Chen Xi has sent Mihoyo a lot of razor blades in his heart.

He Guan Island is shrouded in fog all year round, and it is easy to get lost when you first arrive. In fact, even 5 meters away, all you can see is fog, and you can't tell which way is which at all.

Fortunately, Chen Xi had a strong sense of perception. Following the markers on the minimap, he led the "scholar" to successfully avoid all the monsters and begin solving the mystery.

Of course, all the puzzles involving mechanisms were left to the "scholars," and Chen Xi just watched. In the game, solving those puzzles was a piece of cake for Chen Xi; he could solve them after a few tries. But now it was different; the "scholars" were right beside him.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. The Miaolun School, which he used to belong to, was researching this. Seeing that the "scholar" was so enthusiastic about mechanical arts, Chen Xi handed it all over to him.

The "scholar" explained the solution to Chen Xi as he went along. Chen Xi had never been so attentive in a class. He understood it in his mind, but not in his hand, so the "scholar" taught him personally.

"Connect the circuit, use a relay carbide, and don't let the distance be too far, or you won't be able to receive the signal."

"Is this it?" Chen Xi asked, pointing to the device.

"Yes, that's it. Once both sides are fully lit, we can open the stone door."

"This question...this mechanism is so simple." I used to be lazy and just looked up a guide once to complete this task.

Turn the switch, and the stone door slowly opens. It's covered in dust, and it's unclear how many centuries it hasn't been cleaned.

"Cough cough cough cough."

The "scholar" handed over a handkerchief soaked in water, which Chen Xi took and covered her mouth and nose with.

After a long process of deciphering the mystery, collecting feathers, and then destroying those trees... Chen Xi finally found Aru's remains based on the scene in his memory.

No, it can no longer be called a remains.

They (the villagers) killed Aru and separated her flesh and blood into jars, which Chen Xi found after searching the entire He Guan based on her scent.

In addition, the flesh and blood of many children were also placed in other jars; these were "living sacrifices" offered by the villagers to the Thunderbird, who thought the Thunderbird would like them...

When it came to the "human sacrifice" of Aru, the Thunder Bird was enraged and destroyed the Crane Viewing Hall.
