Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log
Page 472
Hayato Hayama and his friends continued to act out the script. As the king, he was still enjoying his favorite clown show. The actors' lines and dialogues weren't too intense, except for two boys holding steel knives standing by, watching him menacingly.
Calm yourself down by taking deep breaths.
Yukino looked at Yui, who had come to her side, and asked, "Yuigahama-san, could I take a look at the script you're holding?"
"Ok!"
Yui Yuigahama certainly had no reason to refuse; rather, she genuinely had no idea what to do.
Everyone could sense the danger, but the real danger hadn't yet occurred. Yui wanted to do something, like persuading Ebina Hina and the others to take a break, but was stopped by Miura Yumiko and the others. When she continued to persuade them, Miura Yumiko coldly asked her if she was trying to cause trouble, which made Yui feel extremely wronged and completely at a loss. She felt like a headless fly.
At this moment, it would be so good if someone could point her in the right direction. Yui Yuigahama carefully handed the script to Yukino.
Yukino couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her behavior of being afraid of upsetting her, but she didn't say anything at the moment.
******
Looking at the four words "The Tragic Song of the Hanged King" on the cover of the script, she could feel a bloody atmosphere rushing towards her, and even vaguely saw a scene, which was obviously the scene of the king being hanged on the mountain.
Under the live stream camera's lens, Yukino Yukinoshita continued reading the script she hadn't finished earlier—
[After the king died, people buried him in a shallow grave, and then, in a frenzy, looted his palace and indulged in his wealth.]
[But the next day, a large number of crows inexplicably gathered around the king's tomb, and some people said they heard strange noises.]
[Moreover, the river that ran through the city suddenly turned red, smelling like blood and carrying an unpleasant metallic odor. As a result, many citizens fell ill, began bleeding and trembling, and were bound by chains.]
[Especially those who stole from the palace, their bodies grew increasingly weak, and they died within half a day.]
[On the third day, the disease suddenly disappeared, but people began to commit suicide. Their faces were slashed, their throats were cut, and their blood flowed into the Red River through the city streets. At this time, all animals except crows fled the city.]
[On this very day, the deceased king rose again from his tomb, walked through the city, and returned to his palace.]
[A strange throne suddenly appears in the palace, which has long been emptied.]
The throne was covered in rusty nails.
[The king sat down, the nails piercing his flesh and bringing agony to his soul.]
[The palace began to tremble, the Red River boiled, and crows began to circle the city, pecking to death any surviving subjects.]
[The king himself was strangled and bound to his throne forever.]
[His immortal court jester approached him and offered him a silver blood chalice, which the king accepted.]
[But because his hands were trembling, the Holy Grail fell to the floor, spilling blood.]
[This also caused all the dead in the city to rise again.]
[They were twisted, inhuman, and their faces were covered with masks.]
[The dead began a continuous celebration in the streets.]
[It's as if the events of the past few days were just a play or performance; looting, revelry, and other depraved behaviors have become commonplace on the streets.]
[The hanged king himself wanted to scream, but his death rendered him unable to utter a sound, which caused him to weep silently.]
The crow laughed and flew away.
[Even though they always protect this city...]
Everyone: "???" Protect the city? Are you kidding me?
Silver Wolf and the others curled their lips after reading the entire script. Even according to the script, Raven was the culprit!
Or rather, these little things are also sources of amusement for people like fireworks and Sambo!
But here's the problem—
How exactly do we deal with this weird thing?
Gu Jing provided the answer: If it's just about stopping the play "The Tragic Song of the Hanged King," all the performers and audience members need to be knocked unconscious and taken away from the venue. However, their personal safety must be taken into account, as they might go insane or even commit suicide if disturbed. After leaving the performance area, they still need to be calmed or restrained. If they don't relapse within 24 hours, they will return to normal.
[Silver Wolf: If that's all, why did you have to come in person? (Pinyin.jpg)]
[Gu Jing: Actually, this hanged king is an old acquaintance. Feudalism, violence, pain, resentment, madness... what keywords come to mind?]
[March 7th: Holy crap! Is that the Crimson King?! Is he really that pathetic?]
[Gu Jing: Of course not Himself. Strictly speaking, the strangled king is His servant and one of His many incarnations, so he deserves to be taken seriously.]
[Hu Tao: Absolutely!]
*******
As the barrage of comments was being sent, Gu Jing also brought a group of Celestial Dragons to Soubu High School. He then deployed the Celestial Dragons to the scene and immediately ordered Yukino and the others to leave with Yui and the others. However, this action may have provoked the Hanging King.
Suddenly, the ghostly image of the Hanged King appeared in the empty space in the center of the classroom. As if it had its own consciousness, the ghostly image of the Hanged King glanced at the door, as if looking at Gu Jing. But then the trembling hand loosened, the Blood Grail fell to the ground, and the Celestial Dragons who were thrown into the scene began to fight.
To be honest, because the hanged king's face was still covered with a thick veil of blood, Gu Jing didn't quite understand what his actions just now meant.
But he didn't dwell on it. Following the connection between the projection and his real body, he quickly found the location. To be on the safe side, he also constructed a humanoid demonic armor and had it help him explore. Yingmei and the others who saw this couldn't help but chuckle. The demonic armor finding a new job was one thing, but it was even more interesting that Gu Jing didn't continue to exploit the Celestial Dragons.
Aunt Snake couldn't help but complain that if Gu Jing continued to exhaust himself, she would soon run out of guinea pigs!
As captured by the live stream, the humanoid demon armor entered a city called [Alarada] via the connection, and saw the Red River that runs through the entire city...
The mutilated people were still inexplicably partying in the streets, and even tried to grab and pull at the humanoid demon armor that passed by, only to be killed on the spot. However, what was somewhat disgusting was that physical means alone could not kill these monsters.
The demon armor did not engage with it, and immediately flew towards the palace in the center of the city. In the palace, people finally saw the strangled king sitting on the spiked throne.
Although his body couldn't make a sound, his imprisoned soul could speak, mocking the iron lump in front of him with arrogant and narcissistic otherworldly language. Seeing this, Gu Jing was too lazy to translate, and people didn't want to understand what he was saying.
However, this guy's attitude makes it clear that he did it on purpose, deliberately seeking stimulation, wanting to be beaten, wanting to die!
Gu Jing didn't directly fulfill his wish. Instead, he very roughly searched his memories for relevant clues, but instead of any specific images, he obtained a written record that resembled classical Chinese.
[Once upon a time, King Aga prayed at the Great Abyss, summoning the three Yama Kings, saying, "I wish to live forever." The Yama Kings said, "You may gamble." He played leaf games with Yulei, pitch-pot with Yama, and chess with Ksitigarbha, betting on his clan, subjects, and even birds and beasts.]
[The king was defeated, so Yama, the King of Hell, began to claim the souls of nobles, commoners, and livestock. Calamities followed, plagues raged, wars raged without end, and not one in ten of the people survived.]
[The rest rose in rebellion, all the officials were killed, and the king was besieged in his court.]
[The king was terrified and prayed again to the Great Abyss. A faceless god answered him, saying, "Die, and return in three days. Drink all the blood again, and you will live."]
[He was hanged in the central courtyard, and the whole country rejoiced. His body was left exposed in the fields, where it was fed by flocks of crows. After three days, the entire city was dead, all turned into mummified corpses.]
[The gods sent messengers who offered the king the blood of all the people in jade cups.]
[He wanted to drink, but the corpse was mangled and he couldn't grasp it; he accidentally overturned it.]
[The blood flowed and formed a river.]
[The god sighed, "He can neither live nor die."]
[The king was terrified and wanted to obtain more blood, but to no avail. The three Yama Kings laughed at him, and 0.6 transformed into a crow and fled.]
Everyone: "..." The pretty girl remained silent.jpg
Combined with "The Tragic Song of the Hanged King," viewers understood the meaning of this classical Chinese text: the king's desire for immortality was entirely a result of being tricked by the three Yama Kings.
The people of the Immortal Ship, represented by Fu Xuan and Jing Liu, did not empathize with it, but this matter did indeed have similarities to the calamity of immortality on the Immortal Ship; of course, some people were unhappy about this, but it felt very strange that there seemed to be no innocent people in the whole story, and everyone's ending was tragic.
Gu Jing didn't comment on this, but under the live broadcast camera's recording, the humanoid demon armor in the palace transformed into a tree branch shining with a deep purple light!
The branches took root on the ground, and the thick root system stirred up the ground, causing violent tremors. It also continuously absorbed the surrounding matter and turned it into energy to grow rapidly. Before long, the entire [Alarada] was reduced to nothingness!
After finishing all this, Gu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "To borrow Whitebeard's words, the old era has passed, and the new era has no ship to carry you!"
Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf and the others watching the live stream smiled: That's a great answer!
PS: The picture shows a pink fox.
Chapter 422 Qi Lin: My cat can do a backflip!
With the crisis officially over, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, accompanied by Shizuka Hiratsuka, she went with the members of the YoRHa unit to a hospital under Umbrella for a medical check-up, but she was actually doing quite well.
In contrast, Hina Ebina, Yumiko Miura, and others who did not have copies of their diaries were all carried away on stretchers.
******
At the same time, the super team led by Lena had also arrived in America, and people could see the situation on the scene through the live broadcast.
Finding that the missiles had no effect on the Immortal Lizard, Gin was completely at a loss. Firstly, it was inconvenient to launch a nuclear bomb at it, and secondly, he couldn't help but wonder if the nuclear bomb would be absorbed like the missile.
However, even if he still had the idea, he didn't have the ability to do it, because Ms. Di Reina, who was unhappy with his adoptive father behavior and was not convenient to fight on the front line, personally led a group to come to his door and began to contain the entire winery!
In her own words, "Didn't Möbius say he was almost out of guinea pigs? Well, here they are!"
Another point worth mentioning is that Lena also learned the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art," but how should I put it? In the live stream, what the people learning the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" were thinking was as obvious as day. If she were to expose it, she would be too embarrassed to act like a big sister in front of Qi Lin and Du Qiangwei.
The Undying Lizard, no longer attacked, frantically ate its way around the abandoned factory, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.
As captured by the live stream, Du Qiangwei, who was skilled in micro-wormholes, was the first to arrive at the battlefield. Qi Lin, with her pure white 25 angel wings, followed closely behind from the sky. Both of them were dressed in black armor and looked heroic.
Upon landing next to Du Qiangwei, Qi Lin couldn't help but complain, "What happened to the speed contest? Did you cheat using a micro wormhole?"
Upon hearing this, Du Qiangwei slightly raised her chin and smiled: "Then tell me who is faster in this competition."
"Cut~"
Qi Lin pouted. Both of them had reached the third-generation divine body through the lottery function of the diary copy, but how could the Galactic Force compare with the Time-Space Rose in terms of micro-wormholes? This was completely making things difficult for her, the Galactic Powerpuff Girl!
Lena's voice also came from the Dark Dimension channel: "Alright, alright, you two stop talking nonsense and do the mission first."
"Hmm!" x2
While responding, they met eyes again. Unwilling to admit defeat, Qi Lin proposed another contest. According to the battle plan, this operation was to use the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" against the Undying Lizard, so the contest was to see who could grab the most!
As for the wager? Well, the guy who loses the contest at the next party will have to whine and push your butt!
Qi Lin readily agreed, and Du Qiangwei also asked her to make up for the share of the previous competition, which Qi Lin did not refuse.
The two who had settled the bet again looked at the Undying Lizard. The Undying Lizard's six eyes, filled with anger and hatred, were also staring at them. It pawed at the ground with its forelimbs, preparing to attack, and even growled at the two of them.
"quiet!"
Qi Lin took the initiative and used the silence effect of Galaxy Power to her advantage. Even the Undying Lizard was stunned for a moment.
However, Du Qiangwei, the sixth one, was very unethical and launched a sneak attack. In a flash, she arrived above the Undying Lizard, wielding the Blazing Sun-level God-Slaying Weapon. She pierced its back as if descending from the sky. As blood splattered, the roaring Undying Lizard was pinned to the ground by her. She half-squatted down and reached out to use the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to plunder its energy!
Qi Lin, who had spread her wings and flew over, followed closely behind, pressing down on the head of the Undying Lizard and simultaneously launching a plundering attack on it!
Unable to roar, the Undying Lizard was in even greater distress, but its enormous body continued to shrink until it was about 3 meters tall. Only then did Qi Lin and Du Qiangwei stop their plundering, and the Undying Lizard became weak and powerless.
Having arrived beside the two, Gu asked with a smile, "So? Who won this match?"
