Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

"Standing here won't solve anything," said Ichidou. "Let's look for a way again. Shinobu, you stay with our benefactor. I'll take the Traveler and Paimon."

[Yan Fei waved her hand: "You're too kind as to call me benefactor. Just call me Yan Fei. Mr. Yi Dou truly lives up to his reputation as a gang leader; he has great leadership skills."]

Indeed, although Yi Dou may seem like a fool when he's playing around, he's incredibly reliable when it matters, so he truly deserves the title of leader.

Although he, as the leader, only led five people including Ah Chou, people in reality still held Yi Dou in higher regard.

When I read Ichidou's story before, I only thought that Ichidou was a passionate young man with strength and positive values.

Now, a new charm has been discovered in him. He is also a very good leader, able to soothe people, organize manpower, and dare to make decisions and take the blame.

Ayaka also understood why her brother liked hanging out with Ichito; being with him was indeed fun, and he was completely innocent.

Unfortunately, no matter how good Ichidou's leadership was, he couldn't find another way out of this godforsaken place.

After some investigation, Yi Dou analyzed, "I think there's something wrong with this place."

The reader is puzzled: Yes, I noticed, but then what?

And that was it. Only now does Yi Dou realize how strange this place is.

The readers were speechless. Dude, are you only realizing there's a problem now?

Hisagi Shinobu came over to ask about the result, and the traveler also gave a negative answer.

[Ichito added, "And just now, I think I caught a glimpse of a few figures out of the corner of my eye... Could it really be haunted?"]

The reader was even more confused: Haunted? Aren't you a ghost yourself?

Paimon has shared this issue on behalf of everyone.

[Paimon retorts: "Even though the atmosphere is really tense right now, I still have to say it, Ichito, aren't you a demon yourself?"]

[Ichidou's voice trembled slightly: "No! I meant that kind, that flickering, sometimes there and sometimes not."]

Seeing Ichito's reaction, everyone understood: it turns out that Arataki Ichito is afraid of ghosts!

This big boy from the demon clan is a super hot-blooded idiot who's actually afraid of ghosts!

Paimon asked in confusion, "Hmm? Ichito, actually... are you afraid of ghosts?"

[Hisaki Shinobu said teasingly, "Oh dear. They figured it out, boss."]

In the illustration, Shinobu Hisaki is wearing a mask, but you can still see the smile in her eyes in profile, and readers have once again appreciated Shinobu Hisaki's charm.

Originally, everyone was just suspicious, but Hisaki Shinobu helped Ichito confirm the answer.

Unexpectedly, Shinobu Hisagi's mother is a bit cunning, which makes me like her even more.

[Ito, who was almost curled up in a ball, suddenly straightened up: "I...I didn't! You're not allowed to talk nonsense."]

Paimon chuckled, "Hehe, seeing you like this suddenly makes me less afraid... Hey cowherd, if you're scared, I can cover your eyes."

It has to be said that in this eerie atmosphere, Yi Dou and Paimon, those two lively characters, really livened up the atmosphere, preventing the team from feeling gloomy.

But there's still something that seems strange to everyone: isn't the "swaying bull" in Yidou a sacred bull that wards off evil spirits? If you're afraid of ghosts, why don't you hug it?

Then I wondered, could it be that even a single dou (a unit of volume) could be 'exorcised'?

Paimon in real life became interested; if Ichidou was so afraid, then she was going to like him.

"Hehehe, how about we hold a test of courage?" Paimon said, looking at Yidou. "You cowherd, you're not too scared to participate, are you?"

"Who, who wouldn't dare! This great one isn't afraid!" Yi Dou's voice trembled, but he refused to admit defeat.

The others had no objections either. Those present were either incredibly brave or extraordinary, and there was even a professional like Hu Tao. Ghosts? What nonsense! Regulars!

Only Fufu appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was panicking.

Fufu: "Seriously, can I not participate? I'm scared!"

Fu Ningna gripped Lin Qiu's sleeve tightly. "Qiuqiu, you go in front of me, and I'll protect you from being ambushed!"

No, ghosts seem to like appearing behind people. Maybe I should have Hu Tao walk behind me?

Fufu glanced at Hu Tao, who was holding a little ghost and trying to stop it from scaring Yi Dou, with a mischievous grin on her face.

Judging from her expression, it's hard to tell whether she genuinely didn't want it to scare Yi Dou, or whether she deliberately let it out just to frighten Yi Dou.

Letting Hu Tao walk behind me... I guess I shouldn't...

Character Voice Line - Fryna: About the Test of Courage

"I wasn't afraid! I really wasn't afraid! It's just... it's just... anyway, I wasn't scared."

Chapter 374 Where is the Emperor? Please save him!

Leaving aside the real-life agreement of a test of courage among a few people, let's continue with the story.

He ignored the two bickering children and went to the side to start a fire and roast the violet melon.

Although everyone is not hungry right now, food still needs to be prepared.

Just then, Yanfei returned and chatted with Jiuqi Ren for a bit. It was then that everyone realized that the two of them were actually 'master sisters'.

Yanfei had worked as a substitute teacher and came to teach Hisaki Shinobu.

Liyue Bar Exam, Teacher Yanfei.

Yan Fei was quite pleased with being called "Senior Sister": "Mmm, that's a really nice way to address me, I like it!"

Gan Yu, look at other people, you're the only one who can't stand this nickname.

Ye Lan from the book also came over, seemingly ignoring the two children bickering beside her, and came directly to share information with the 'adults'.

Yelan searched the surroundings but found no exit.

[Ye Lan: "Although I don't want to say it, let's be prepared."]

The readers were shocked. What kind of mental preparation? Are you preparing for your funeral?

"If we can't find our way, we might have to stay underground for a while."

The reader breathed a sigh of relief; it sounded so serious, but it just meant staying a little longer.

That's alright. Look, Shinobu Kyuuki brought water and food, so he can stay for a long time.

If all else fails, there's always Ah Chou. He's such a big cow; if we eat him sparingly, it'll be enough to feed us for a day or two.

Well, it's all because the bull in the bucket was too small; it didn't seem like it could eat for very long.

Most readers are unaware that Ah Chou is actually a rock elemental creature, and strictly speaking, he has no flesh.

If we were to actually eat it, wouldn't it be the 'punishment of eating rocks'?

Ye Lan hadn't given up yet; she was still investigating. Meanwhile, the traveler had an idea.

Isn't Xiao here too? So if I encounter a problem, can't I just call on Xiao?

So come quick, help! Someone's fallen into the water! Respond to me, Great Sage Who Subdues Demons!

The guardian deity of Wangshu Inn—the great hero of Dihua Island—are you there?!

However, there was no response!

Xiao didn't respond to the traveler's call, and Ying immediately became nervous.

They had seen Xiao before, so Xiao should be nearby. Why isn't he responding now? Could it be that he's also in trouble?

The atmosphere suddenly became dangerous again, and the readers were on tenterhooks.

They didn't have any 'protagonist mentality'; they were genuinely worried that the travelers and their companions would die here.

Fortunately, Yi Dou stepped up to "act silly" again, which eased the tense atmosphere somewhat.

It has to be said that this story would have been quite depressing without the antics of Ichidou and Paimon.

[Yan Fei sighed: "Even if I'm knowledgeable, that's only within the realm of the law. I don't know anything about 'prison break'..."]

This passage also has an illustration, showing Ichidou standing not far behind Yanfei.

Jailbreak? Go find him! Isn't he the expert?

Besides providing emotional value, Yi Dou is also an expert in imprisonment and escape.

Ye Lan, who was in charge of 'catching a bucket', was still searching for clues. When she saw the traveler coming, she thoughtfully reminded him to take care of himself.

[Ye Lan: "Take care of yourselves. I'll figure out the rest."]

Saying this in this situation is equivalent to Ye Lan taking the initiative to shoulder the pressure and responsibility, which gives her a great sense of security!

On the other hand, their hastily assembled team was also quite interesting.

There's Yoran, who's in charge of making arrests; Ichito, who's in charge of being arrested; Yanfei and Kuki Shinobu, who's in charge of defending them; and the 'wanted' Traveler.

The entire industrial chain is directly integrated, which is self-consistent.

No matter how optimistic the words may be, the characters in the book will never see the sunlight again. They are trapped in this unknown underground space and can only wait in vain.

Because they were underground, even the concept of time was blurred, and no one knew how many days they had been there.

Paimon, sounding somewhat depressed, lamented, "I long to run freely in the outside world!"

[Traveler complains: "Aren't you always flying?"]

Paimon: "Then let's fly freely! Anyway, I really want to go out."

Even the usually optimistic Paimon has become like this; things are indeed serious.

What's even stranger is that everyone's perception of the passage of time is completely different.

Yingmei felt that a day had passed, Paimon felt that almost a month had passed, and Yidou felt that three or five days had passed.

While it's normal to have some error when there's no timekeeping system, such a large error is somewhat abnormal.

Even more strangely, after so long, the group did not feel thirsty or hungry, nor did they feel tired at all, and they did not even need to sleep.

Putting everyone else aside, Paimon, the gluttonous one, feels like more than twenty days have passed and he still hasn't wanted to eat anything, which is very strange!

Readers thought of one key word: time standing still.

Shadow became interested. Could this place also be related to 'Ishtar'?

This place is truly 'eternal'! If I were still seeking eternity in the past, this place would be a blessed land.

Laiila, on the other hand, was filled with envy. "Where is this place? I want to go too. Once I'm inside, I'll have more time to write my thesis!"

She always struggled with writing papers, feeling there wasn't enough time, after all, she wasn't one of those geniuses.

I just don't know why, every time I wake up from a nap, the paper is already finished. I don't know who the kind person is who did it.

Although the handwriting was the same as hers, Laila felt it wasn't written by her, because the paper was logically clear, the data was accurate, and it even criticized other people's papers.

Putting the first two points aside, criticizing someone else's paper is something Laiira wouldn't dare to do, so it must have been someone else who did it! Someone with good intentions!

Although for someone like Laila who never has enough time, time standing still might be a good thing.

But for the people trapped at this moment, this is definitely not a good thing.

The traveler told everyone that he couldn't summon Xiao, and everyone started brainstorming and analyzing the situation.

Xiao is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, the Dharma Protector Yaksha, and the Golden Roc General! If even he is trapped here, then the danger level here will rise even higher.

The readers were on the edge of their seats, hoping no one would die here!

My Lord, this is Liyue! Please come and save us!

But people just shouted it out, since the Emperor wasn't around.

Just as everyone was feeling down, Ye Lan found an exit!

The exit was concealed by an illusion, and Ye Lan searched for a long time before discovering it. Fortunately, Ye Lan was a descendant of a sorcerer and knew some magic, which allowed her to dispel the illusion.

Nasita felt something was off when she saw this; the exit seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Could this space possibly still respond to the 'wishes' of the trapped people to some extent?

Nasita frowned slightly, hoping only that her wish would be granted, rather than bringing her greater despair.
