The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

However, what was strange was that half of the person's body was outside the bed, and he hadn't taken off his clothes.

"Is it really that tiring to beg for food in Sumeru?" Yu Jin walked over and looked at the sleeping Sumeru people. This person probably falls asleep the moment their head hits the bed.

Nasida completely ignored Yu Jin's words. She looked around the bed and finally fixed her gaze on the marks on it.

“He was dragged into bed.” Nasita said to Ember with absolute certainty, touching the wrinkles in the sheets.

"How did you get it?"

"The direction of the folds in the bed sheet is opposite to the bedroom entrance, indicating that someone dragged him towards the bedroom; there are also changes in the clothes, with obvious signs of the clothes being pulled upwards..."

"Okay, you don't have to say it, I believe you."

Yu Jin quickly stopped Nasita's rambling, which was making him dizzy.

“Let’s check other places. I don’t see any signs of the rooms being disturbed. The purpose of the Order of the Church cannot be as simple as just letting the people of Sumeru sleep.”

With no leads left in that house, the two immediately ran to other houses.

Without exception, the owners of the houses all seemed to have been dragged in, and in some houses, people were even sleeping on the floor.

“It seems the time of slumber should be around dusk.” Nasita pondered as she walked down the empty street.

"What exactly does the Order of the Fathers want to do?"

"Why don't we just go and ask the people at the Order of the Order?" Yu Jin rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try.

“Hmm… good method.” Nasita stopped thinking for a moment, because she realized that Ember’s strength was more than enough to do this.

So the two hurriedly ran along the path built on the sacred tree toward the Church House at the top.

The Church House is nestled within the canopy of the sacred tree. The entire building is white and green, resembling a blooming flower of the sacred tree, appearing dignified and rational.

But it was nighttime, and Yu Jin had no time to appreciate the beauty of the building. He ran ahead and kicked open the gate of the Order of the Church.

"boom!"

"Huh? Was the door trying to open by itself just now?"

Yu Jin looked down at the twitching, twisting door and felt inexplicably guilty.

But soon, he became self-righteous.

"They're even using automatic doors now. It seems like all the aid to the desert is being wasted on this!"

Thinking this, Yu Jin swaggered into the Church Hall. But unexpectedly, in the vast Church Hall, there was only him and the sound of Narcida's hurried footsteps.

"No way, that's ruthless? They don't even spare their own people?" Yu Jin rolled his eyes at the student at his feet. The student had two dead fish eyes with dark circles under them, and there was nothing to see.

“It seems this is a problem with certain people in the Order of the Church.” Nasita arrived at this moment, and her tone was inexplicably relaxed.

Even students of the Order of the Fathers have been brutally murdered, which at least shows that these problems are only a problem for a portion of the Order of the Fathers, not for everyone.

There's still hope for the Order of the Fathers!

Chapter 695 Breakthrough

"Tsk, this is troublesome now." Yu Jin stood up and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Everyone they could see was now asleep, while the real mastermind was still hiding in the shadows.

"drop!"

Just as Ember paced back and forth, a clear mechanical sound suddenly rang out in the silent Great Hall of the Church.

"Sent from the Void Terminal?"

Looking at the green light that kept flashing in the dim light, Ember turned around and asked Nasita.

The latter, however, had closed her eyes at some point. The void terminal beside Catherine's ear was also flashing, but it was clear that it was affecting the equally sleeping Catherine, not Narcida who was possessing Catherine.

"Hoo... perhaps we don't have much time to waste." Nasita opened her green-glowing eyes, but as she gasped for breath, the light in them dimmed.

"The Void Terminal not only makes everyone in Sumeru dream, but it also harvests these dreams."

Nasita's tone was somewhat urgent; she had just connected herself to the void, and a strong sense of drowsiness had swept over her.

The void has been tampered with, and the subconscious message "It's time for a sweet dream" has been etched into the minds of everyone who connects to it.

Moreover, the Void Terminal also reaped the dreams of the people of Sumeru while they slept.

Once or twice is fine, but who knows when everyone in Sumeru will wake up? Once or twice is okay, but what about ten or a hundred times?

Judging from the scale and suddenness of the current sleep, the guy controlling the Void Terminal clearly wants the latter.

“I can see it now, his eyes have rolled up a little bit since last time,” Yu Jin said, squatting down and gently pulling at the sleeping scholar’s ​​eyelids.

It's only rolled up a little now. If all the eyes roll back to the whites, it means that the person is about to die.

"Enter the dream, find the subject of the dream, and find a way to break free from it."

Nasita pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Time is of the essence. We can't simply find out what's in the dream by searching outside."

“But I can’t sleep.” Upon hearing this, Yu Jin immediately lay down on the floor, tilted his head, and shrugged at Nasita.

"Get up! I'm not telling you to actually fall asleep! Find a special person to infiltrate our consciousness through a void terminal, that should do the trick."

When Nasita saw Ember slacking off on the floor, she almost couldn't resist kicking him.

“Great! I think you must have someone in mind. Where is he? Let’s find him right away!” Yu Jin jumped up with a somersault.

He thought Nasita's plan was perfect, the only flaw being this "special person," and how special she was.

"This...this...let's go find someone in the city with the Eye of God, preferably the Eye of the Grass God."

Narcida's eyes darted around because of Ember's words. She mumbled something and then ran out of the Order House.

"Wait for me!" Upon seeing this, Yu Jin immediately followed. Nasita was still very useful; if it weren't for her, Yu Jin would never have thought of the "entering a dream" method.

After all, how could someone who doesn't know how to sleep think about "dreams"?

In the end, he'll probably just spread his consciousness across all the void nodes and turn himself into a megaphone to wake people up.

……

"The Eye of God, the Eye of God, who else has the Eye of God?" On the streets of Sumeru, Nasita walked ahead, with Ember following behind.

Elemental vision is surprisingly useful for finding the Eye of God. Ember doesn't know how, so he had no choice but to follow behind Narcida.

"Crash!"

Besides the embers' mutterings, the loud noise of cardboard scraping against the ground echoed through the street.

"Can you find a different way to drag people? It's so noisy!" Nasita complained, turning around because she couldn't stand the loud noise behind her.

Especially after seeing the large group of people behind Yu Jin, her annoyance intensified.

"Why don't you come?" Ember handed the rope connecting the cardboard to Narcida. The people behind him were all potential targets for entering the dream, and without exception, they all possessed the Eye of God.

"Or I could just drag them across the ground without using the cardboard, but you'd have to pay for the emotional distress caused by the disfigurement."

Seeing that Nasita didn't move, Yu Jin retracted the rope. He didn't want to disturb the neighbors, but he had no choice.

"Still haven't found anyone? I think these people are enough, right? Just pick anyone to enter the dream." Yu Jin suggested to Nasida, looking at the shimmering Eye of God behind him.

"Let's search again. None of them have the Eye of the Grass God, and they are all locals of Sumeru. The probability of them seeing us is not high."

"Hey, I suspect you discriminate against the Sumeru people." Yu Jin found this somewhat amusing. The Sumeru people didn't care about the Grass God at all, while the Grass God discriminated against the Sumeru people and went against their own interests.

"I even suspect you're out of your mind. The Sumeru people don't dream; it's too difficult to make them realize things they've never seen before."

Nasida glanced at Ember; she no longer wanted to argue with this guy. Whatever.

"So to get the Eye of God, you need to be a foreigner... Your requirements are a bit high." Yu Jin stroked his chin, no longer joking.

Frankly speaking, this requirement is quite high. There are already few owners of the Eye of God, and this person specifically requested to possess it, and that's not all; preferably, they should be a foreigner.

Whether there are any people in the entire city of Sumeru who meet the requirements is still a question mark.

"That's why I asked you to bring these people with you. If all else fails, you can just use them as objects in your dreams." Nasita nodded and said helplessly amidst a series of "whooshing" sounds.

With her elemental vision activated, Narcida watched for any possible locations where elements might be deposited. Occasionally, however, she would also notice other things.

“There’s a trailer truck over there. You can throw everyone on it. Also, there are two people down there. Find a place to put them in there while you’re at it.”

Nasita blinked her large, grass-green eyes and pointed to the trailer parked at the alley entrance.

"Understood." Upon hearing this, Yu Jin jogged over, lifted the trailer, and looked down, where a golden light caught his eye.

"Wow! The Golden Legend! We can skip the trailer and get started!"

Upon seeing the person lying below, Yu Jin didn't hesitate and threw the trailer he was carrying a great distance away.

"What do you mean?" Nasita asked, walking up to Ember with a puzzled look in her eyes.

She looked down and saw nothing but two girls... well... one girl and a three-year-old child.

"Wahahaha... delicious!" Paimon drooled and stretched his little feet onto Ying's face.

In a daze, Ying licked it a few times, and then made the following comment:

"Mmm...it really tastes good."

"Delicious my foot! Be careful of fungal infection." Ember immediately shoveled at them, separating Ying and Paimon who were almost hugging each other.

"you know?"

"I know them, Ying and Paimon. I don't know if you've heard of them."

"I've heard of her. It seems to be the Adventurers' Guild's most trustworthy supernova girl adventurer, Ying, who has a 100% completion rate for commissions, is a ruthless commission machine, and will kill anything as long as the reward is good!"

“Are you confused? I think that’s my title,” Yu Jin asked Nasida, turning his head.

"No, your suffix is ​​'veteran adventurer'."

Nasita shook her head decisively; she was absolutely certain that Ember and Firefly had the correct titles in the Adventurers' Guild.

"Who came up with this nickname? How convenient! I'll beat him up when I get back!" Upon hearing that he and Ying shared the same title, Yu Jin immediately thought that the Adventurers' Guild was quite efficient.

Well done, don't do it again next time.

"So, is there anything special about her?" Nasita asked expressionlessly after rattling off a long list of nicknames.

She admitted that the girl named Ying was very strong, but no matter how strong she was, it wouldn't help her break free from the dream.
