This heroine is so despicable

After their eyes met, Xing grabbed Ying's hand without hesitation.

"What's wrong?" The latter seemed a little surprised, but did not resist.

"Dating."

Ying was slightly stunned, then sighed:

"Is it because of your amnesia? Xing always expresses his feelings without hesitation... You don't act like this to every girl you know, do you?"

[Limited to pretty and cute ones]

You can't answer like that.

Therefore Xing shook his head, looking innocent: "I don't know, I don't know many girls."

[Or... not much for now? ]

Paimon looked at the two people in a strange atmosphere, full of confusion, but since Xing and Ying were holding hands, she quickly held Ying's hand as well, not wanting to be left behind.

Originally it felt a bit like a date, but with the addition of Paimon it instantly felt like a family trip.

The three of them walked all the way to the highest point of Cape Promise. Unexpectedly, there was almost no wind here. Standing on the edge of the cliff, they could clearly see a crescent-shaped island on the sea level in the distance.

Xing looked at the steep cliff below and couldn't help asking, "Now...how do we get over there?"

"At this distance... the Wind Wings can just barely cover it."

As she spoke, a pair of beautiful green wings suddenly appeared in Ying's hands, and she then put them on her back.

she asked, looking at Xing's dazed eyes.

"Where did you get it from?"

Xing looked at Ying again and again, but didn't see any pockets on her.

[It must be the protagonist's essential equipment - the space ring! ]

Paimon at the side put his hands on his hips and said, "Hehe, you don't know this, right? The Traveler has a unique space that can hold anything. Even sweet flower stuffed chicken can be put in it, and it won't go bad no matter how long it takes."

Xing was immediately shocked: "There's also a space backpack? Wouldn't that make smuggling even more convenient!?"

"…Why are you so obsessed with smuggling?!" Paimon and Ying couldn't help but complain together.

Xing rubbed his head and looked at Wind Wings again and again: "Then... will Ying hold me and fly over later?"

"No, no matter how hard I think about it, I can't get through!" Paimon shook his head. "The Wings of Wind can only allow people to glide, not really fly. If we hold someone, the flying distance will definitely be greatly reduced, and then we can only land on the sea."

"So... there's also this!"

Ying then produced a pair of gray-looking wind wings out of thin air.

"This is what Amber gave to the Traveler when she first taught her how to use the Wind Wings." Paimon explained, "Although it doesn't look as gorgeous as the pair Captain Jean gave to the Traveler, it has the same function."

Xing took it and put it on, and found that the gray color matched her gray hair very well.

[The moment you put on the Wings of Wind, you seem to know how to use it naturally. You can no longer hold back your desire to spread your wings and fly. What are you waiting for? ]

"Well, let the traveler teach you how to use it first. The terrain here happens to be a slope, which is perfect for beginners - Hey!?"

Under the horrified gazes of Ying and Paimon, Xing jumped off the cliff with a running start and a leap, then opened his wings of wind in mid-air.

After a brief blankness of mind, feeling the wind blowing towards him, Xing couldn't help but open his arms and began to enjoy the joy of flying - perhaps only by truly overlooking the vastness of the earth and the vastness of the ocean can one understand that people can do far more than they imagine.

【Wuhu, take off~】

Ying and Paimeng followed from behind, and the three of them glided all the way, and after a few minutes, they finally landed on the island reef.

Xing, who was originally very happy, suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure after landing and seeing a huge arch-like relic in the center of the island reef, as if it was not an arch, but the huge mouth of a giant beast that was ready to devour people.

[An indescribable feeling of disgust and exhaustion swept over you, as if you had a dream in which your soul was trapped in this ordinary archway and was undergoing an endless reincarnation - no, this was no ordinary archway, it was a terrifying abyss, and countless terrifying monsters that had tortured you were staring at you from the other side of the archway, trying to lure you into their trap with those colorful little stones. It was too terrifying, and it was simply the source of all the evil of comparison.]

"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Paimon and Ying took a small step forward and looked worriedly at Xing, whose face suddenly turned gloomy.

The latter covered his chest, took a few steps back, and pointed at the archway with lingering fear:

"That...that thing. I'm not afraid of anything, but that door...it scares me..."

Volume 019: On the Journey: Return to the Black Tower Space Station

Ying and Paimon carefully checked the arch, but ultimately found nothing dangerous.

On the contrary, it was even connected to the earth veins like those teleportation anchors, and they could use it to quickly leave here later.

In addition, Ying used the elemental vision to carefully examine the surroundings and found a floating meteorite that had fallen on the beach - this thing looked different from the other fragments and seemed to be the core.

"There is an amazing elemental force gathering above. It seems that this core is the root of everything."

Ying walked forward carefully, ready to purify it. Xing beside her suddenly became worried: "Does it have to be purified? If you just want to get rid of it, it would be the same if I break it. You said this thing is the core. What if you touch it and she falls asleep? Uh..."

Wait... wouldn't it be better if she fell asleep? Then she could do this and that to Ying secretly?

[You are taking advantage of someone's misfortune!? ]

Ying didn't notice the change in Xing's expression, but just shook her head: "I also want to figure out why the holder of the Eye of God has such a strong obsession, and why this core fell here... And if I'm unconscious, don't you still have me?"

Xing put his hands on Ying's shoulders and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry and do it. I'll take care of everything."

"...I always feel that your attitude change is a bit strange?" Paimon looked suspiciously at Xing who seemed eager to try.

"Anyway, if I really keep passing out, please break this core."

After Ying finished speaking, she took a deep breath and slowly placed her hand on the core of the meteorite.

The next second, her body swayed slightly and she fell into Xing's arms, which gave the latter another unexpected surprise.

[Do you want to do it? Right here! ? ]

"Wow! He really fainted!" Paimon also came over quickly, "What should we do? Should we break it now?"

It's broken, and there's a small light bulb.

Xing was about to say wait, but suddenly he felt dizzy - wait, what is this! ?

[Your consciousness begins to blur. When you open your eyes again, you seem to be on a towering snowy mountain, with the cold wind blowing on your cheeks and the snow covering your knees.]

[You look up at the top of the mountain in the clouds, you long to conquer it, but... why? ]

Because… the mountain is right there?

[You begin to move your frozen steps, climbing up step by step, but no matter how hard you climb, the mountain is still so far away from you, just like Sisyphus' endless reincarnation, it seems that you will never be able to reach the top of the mountain, so... your choice is...]

Do I give up here... No... Absolutely not!!!

[Anger ignites your heart and fighting spirit, your will to fight begins to rise, the mountain is there, since it blocks you, then...]

Just flatten the mountain! It's just a dream! Nothing is impossible!

Xing swung the baseball bat that appeared in his hand without him noticing, and used all his strength to smash the mountain in front of him.

This blow caused the mountains to collapse and the earth to crack. This blow changed the color of the sky and the earth, and it seemed as if all the stars dimmed.

[The mountain was once there, but now, there is only a vast expanse before your eyes]⑦

So, you woke up.

“Hmm…”④

Xing opened her eyes and found that she and Ying were still hugging each other, but they both fell to the ground. Ying seemed to have just woken up and was opening her eyes in a daze, while Paimon was looking at them happily.

"You-you two finally woke up! How do you feel? Are you okay?"

Ying shook her head in confusion: "I seem to have figured out the obsession of the holder of the Eye of God. He was an adventurer from hundreds of years ago..."

Xing still didn't let go of Ying, letting her continue to lie on him, and asked curiously: "What did you see in your dream?"⑦

Ying recalled carefully:

"That adventurer had always wanted to climb a mountain called Sharp Hat Peak. When he found out that he was too old to do so, he wanted to pass on this wish to future generations. Therefore, he designed the original Wings of Wind..." 0

Paimeng sighed, "That is to say, his belief has remained in the sky for hundreds or even thousands of years? It's incredible!"

Xing was a little puzzled: "Then... why did this core end up here?"

"Maybe it's because... this is the former Pointed Hat Peak?"

Paimon raised his finger and gave Xing some scientific advice:

"It is said that the wind god Barbatos, for the sake of his people a long time ago, once used his divine power to blow away the ice and snow, and even moved the mountains, completely changing the topography of Mondstadt. Perhaps this small island is the former Pointed Hat Peak? That obsession caused the core to eventually fall here."

[Changing the terrain? What kind of power is this? You begin to wonder if you have underestimated this world a little bit.]

Ying looked at Xing: "What about you? What did you see?"

Xing thought for a moment and said, "I saw... I made a very powerful attack."

"...?"

——————————————————————————————————

Finally, Ying reached out and purified the returning extinguished star. Without the core, all the unconscious people would surely wake up soon.

"Let's go. Mona and the others are still waiting. This archway will allow us to use the ley lines to get back quickly."

Ying turned around and looked at Xing, only to find that Xing had taken a few steps back in fear.

"……What's wrong?"

“Do…really want to use this door?”

Xing looked at the arch with some fear.

"Will... once we cross it, we will be teleported to an unknown place... divided into several layers, full of monsters and enemies? Or should we just... swim back?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How can you swim so far? You'll drown halfway!"

[Indeed, in this version, unless you can freeze ice to cross the sea]

"And why are you so afraid of this door?" Paimon flew behind Xing and pushed her, "Let's go! Ying won't make any mistakes!"

In the end, Xing used fear as an excuse and hugged Ying tightly. After a familiar feeling, he opened his eyes again and found that they had arrived in a strange city.

"Is this... Mond?" Xing looked at the clean and beautiful city curiously.

"That's right."

Although the teleportation distance this time was not as far as last time, Ying was still breathing rapidly.

"Sorry, teleporting you is a bit... a bit exhausting. Let's take a short break first..."

Paimon did offer a suggestion: "How about we go back to Qingce Manor first, Traveler, and tell Fischl and the others about the situation? We've been away for a while, they might be worried, right?"

Ying thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded and then instructed Xing:

"You have to stay here, I'll be back soon. If a stranger talks to you, don't leave with them!"

Xing touched his head and said, "I just lost my memory, I'm not really a child?"

Ying opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Paimeng at the side spoke even faster: "I feel like you are no different from a child sometimes! Anyway, don't leave, we'll be back soon."

Xing could only nod, and then watched Ying and Paimon disappear as spots of light again. She looked around and found that several curious citizens were staring at her, but they were all very polite and didn't come forward to ask.

After waiting there for more than a minute, Xing squatted in the flower bed and picked flowers and plants out of boredom. After a while, a girl in fiery red came running over.

"Hello, are you a friend of the traveler?"

The girl has long chestnut hair with a red bunny ear knot on her head, a pair of goggles hanging from her collar, and a pair of wind wings hanging from her back. She looks like a very energetic girl.

【She is so cute】

Xing immediately held a flower in his mouth, supported the teleportation anchor with one hand, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Xiaoke——"

The next second, Xing lost her vision and other senses again, and then she felt that the teleportation anchor that supported her suddenly disappeared. She lost her balance and fell to the cold floor.

Looking up and looking around, Xing was shocked to find that he seemed to be back in the simulated universe office of the Black Tower.

Back... back?

【...6】

"You mean... Xing suddenly... disappeared in front of you?"

Ji Zi, Walter, Sanyueqi and Danheng looked at the black tower doll in front of them in disbelief.

The latter nodded, his tone even carrying a hint of excitement:

"Yes, isn't it amazing? I just didn't notice it, and she just disappeared out of thin air. I also checked the closed-circuit surveillance in my office repeatedly, and I can confirm that the data has not been tampered with, but... she just disappeared like that."
