"Ah, I jumped off."

At the bottom of the Ember Sea, Nanshuo walked over to Hans, who was floating in mid-air.

"yes, I jumped off."

Wendy also walked out from the side, her eyes a little complicated.

"After being redeemed by Stanley, he must have lived a heavy life." Diluc also stepped out and said with some emotion: "I saw his expression of relief when he fell. ”

"By the way, how did you know the story behind this Mr. Hans?" Wendy wondered, "I don't believe you just found out. ”

"Hehe, of course I didn't just find out." Nan Shuo smiled, looked at Wendy and said, "I just found that this gentleman who is pretending to be a friend is very similar to one of my employees in many places, but I didn't expect to find such an interesting thing after a little understanding."

Doesn't it feel familiar to walk in the world with the face and name of a friend? ”

“……”

Wendy bowed her head and was silent for a moment, then silently walked up to Hans and said softly:

"Next, can you give me control of this illusion, Nanshuo?"

Nanshuo smiled slightly, took Diluc and stepped back into the darkness, "As you wish, Lord God of Mondstadt. ”

"Hey, don't put your hand on my shoulder!" Diluc slapped Nanshuo's hand away and said with some disgust.

"Well, don't be so ruthless.

By the way, Wendy, this thing is for you. ”

Nanshuo tossed a glow-green ball of light to Wendy, the soul of Stanley, who was trapped at the bottom of the Ember Sea.

Wendy took the light cluster, and after being stunned for a moment, smiled helplessly.

"You guy, you still know me so well."

Hans Azibold, who was floating quietly in mid-air at the moment, was closing his eyes tightly, and he was in a coma at the moment.

"Hey, wake up, Hans."

Hans opened his eyes at a call, and when he did, he found himself lying on a grassland slope, with the wind of Mondstadt blowing by his side.

A tall figure was blocking the sun's rays shining on him, constantly shouting to himself.

"Stanley! Why? I'm not already ......."

Hans said in surprise.

"You don't think you can redeem your sins by sacrificing yourself, do you?"

Stanley, who had only half of his face, smiled at Hans, but the smile on his skeletal face really didn't make people feel warm.

“！！！ What are you? ”

Hans exclaimed.

"What's that? I'm Stanley. ”

Half-Skeleton Stanley paused, and then said in a somewhat eerie tone: "It is because of you, Stanley, who died to the ashes, that my soul could not be brought back to Mondstadt by the wind, and now I am left with no ghost and no soul, and my soul cannot rest in peace." ”

As Stanley's words continued to reach Hans's ears, countless dark tentacles slowly clinged to Hans's body like mud, gradually devouring it, and condensed into a monster called [Guilt] on Hans's body.

As the guilt threatened to swallow Hans completely, he trembled and said, "What was that?" ”

"Hahaha, of course it's just an illusion, a good show I've prepared for you.

What do you think? Do you like it? ”

After Stanley finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and then shouted with a wild laugh: "Anyway, what you did just now was really funny, and in the end you actually jumped down by yourself, wouldn't it be better to push me down and escape by yourself, just like last time I exchanged my death for your own survival." ”

"It's not...... I didn't have ......"

Stanley struggled to defend himself, his body and mind were in great pain, and the words "Stanley" pierced his heart like a knife, and now his heart was full of sore scars and painful marks.

"What's the difference?

If you hadn't dragged me back, I would have easily explored the Ember Sea alone; Without you, I wouldn't risk my life to save you from that weak rock formation; If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have died in that hellish place! ”

Stanley shouted frantically, a faint blue soul fire burning in the eye sockets of half of the skeletal face.

"No words from you!! Adventurer Stanley! It won't die! ”

The darkness eventually swallowed Hans completely, and Stanley fell silent before letting out a long sigh a moment.

Just as he turned to leave, a voice rang out.

"You're lying, you're not Stanley at all!"

"Stanley's" eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Hans behind him. Acey Boulder.

The darkness on the latter's body had dissipated somewhat, revealing a determined face.

"Stanley said."

Hans said loudly:

"Adventure is never a one-man adventure, it's a team effort!

An adventurer who falls into danger by mistake is a waste, but an adventurer who abandons his companions is not even a waste!

Dying in the midst of adventure can be regarded as a kind of destination for every adventurer! ”

With every word Hans uttered, the darkness on him diminished a point, and he gradually broke free from the darkness, slowly walked in front of "Stanley", raised his face and said:

"Stanley doesn't go against what he's said, so you're not Stanley at all.

You're just ......"

Hans looked at the person in front of him who was exactly the same as himself after the change in face with some complexity, and said word by word:

"My guilt."

"Hehe, I'll really say it, anyway, you have become a wolf that bit Mr. Xiguo to death. Stanley is speechless, you can say whatever you want. ”

Hans said disdainfully, looking at the pale body in front of him with contempt.

"I know it's useless to say anything now, all I can do for him is to spread the word about his deeds to the people around me.

But there's something else to give back to Stanley! ”

Hans slapped his chest with his right hand, touched the part of his heart, and said:

"My life was saved by Mr. Stanley, and if I just blindly live in guilt for him, then I am not sorry for Stanley's sacrifice at all."

When Hans jumped, he thought through a lot of things, and there was a great horror and a great realization between life and death.

A tear fell from the corner of Hans's eye and said:

"I know that a man like me is not worthy of Mr. Stanley to save me with his life.

But it has happened, and the only thing I can do next is to live well and do something meaningful to repay him. ”

"Hehe, you who said this sentence are really a completely selfish guy."

Hans smiled, and vanished into place, blending into the flow of Mondstadt.

Hans was left alone and muttered, "yes, I'm a complete selfish fellow." ”

"yes, really a selfish ghost."

Outside the picture, Nanshuo sat on a chair eating popcorn and said to Diluc on the side.

Diluc frowned, a faint blue vein appeared on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I've always been curious, how did you naturally accuse others of peeing their pants when they were in a mess?" ”

"Well, don't worry about these details, the blockbuster drama is about to begin."

Nan Shuo's eyes fell on the soul of Stanley, who was not far from Hans and had been listening to the conversation, and said in a playful tone: "I didn't expect Wendy to be quite talented as a director, so it's time to come back and copy Zhongli and replace him." ”
