"Well, are you a little sober?"

In the sky, Nan Shuo and Zhong Li sat on the back of the black dragon, and Nan Shuo looked at Zhong Li helplessly.

Bellet and Diluc drew white cards, while Miss Shadow didn't draw cards because she joined the dinner halfway.

However, because of what Zhongli said, everyone was a little silent in the following dinner, and after eating the hot pot, Nanshuo was a little worried about Zhongli, so he proposed to accompany this "old man" who was a little lost and depressed.

Miss Ying was very understanding and let Nanshuo go, and said hello and went back to Inazuma, it seems that there is something wrong with the eye hunting order, and the general can't handle it properly.

But before leaving, Shadow grabbed Nanshuo's life, put his mouth to his ear and whispered, "I'll let you go today, and if I get similar news in the future, I'll kill you." ”

Thinking of the sound that made his cold hair stand on end, Nan Shuo touched his neck that was choked by the shadow with some fear, and secretly said that women are really terrible.

Bellet also said goodbye to Nanshuo, saying that she would prepare a major performance, and said that she had lost interest in continuing to compete with Nanshuo.

Diluc and Wendy return to Mondstadt.

"It's no big deal, to be precise, I didn't have anything abnormal in the first place, you don't need to follow me."

Zhongli turned his back to Nanshuo and looked at the scenery below.

"Less, although I don't know why you said this, but the loneliness in your eyes at that time couldn't deceive me."

Nan Shuo shook his head and asked with some hesitation, "...... the sheet I gave you?"

"Well, the sheets made her figure, which was already blurry in my heart, clear again."

Zhongli seemed to think of something, and a faint smile hung on his lips.

Nan Shuo nodded, he felt that sometimes he and Zhongli always had an inexplicable tacit understanding, and he also had a kind of understanding with Wendy, as if they had been together for a long time. But in reality, it was only a few months before they really started to mingle.

"But ......"

Zhongli's tone changed suddenly, and he became stunned: "Recently, I can't dream of her anymore, obviously I just had a warm feeling again, but I fell into the dark abyss again." ”

Nan Shuo looked at Zhongli with some hesitation, this ancient demon god who had survived for more than 6,000 years, the loneliness in his eyes and the pain hidden in it at this moment were so dazzling, this feeling was like finding a favorite toy that he had lost when he was a child, but he lost it again within 10 minutes of finding it.

"You can always dream again, don't you still have that strange cube?"

Nan Shuo patted Zhongli on the shoulder, although he was very similar to manipulating Zhongli's memories to arrange a dream reunion for him, but because Zhongli's personality was higher and his insight was stronger, using the illusion he controlled to act in front of Zhongli was no different from letting him watch a shadow puppet show. Even if Nanshuo offered to arrange a spring dream for the God of Rock, Zhongli would only reward Nanshuo with a kick.

"Earthly locks?"

Zhongli touched the token that he had left for himself all the year round, and asked a little distractedly, "By the way, that girl seems to have come to challenge you." ”

"Challenge...... Sort of. ”

The corners of Nan Shuo's mouth twitched a few times, and the people that Bellet really wanted to challenge should be Zhongli, or Zhongli and those filmmakers who were far away in the other world.

"That's nice......"

Zhongli muttered, and the figure of the girl who had been on the battlefield slowly turned into dust and sand dissipated in front of him appeared in front of him.

"I don't think I can go down with you. Forget about the lock."

"This is a token of the covenant and my challenge to you."

"All my wisdom is hidden in this stone lock."

"If I can unravel it—"

Before the girl finished speaking, the lonely smiling face dissipated into the wind with the fine dust.

Seeing Zhongli show that lonely expression again, Nan Shuo sighed, looked at the [Earthly Lock] in Zhongli's hand and asked, "Anyway, isn't this thing sealed with the things left to you by your little lover?" It's been years, you haven't opened it? ”

"There's no need to open it, the right to keep it as a thought, and ......"

Zhongli seemed to remember some painful memories, and glanced at the earthly lock with the expression of a college student looking at a high math problem, and slowly spoke: "I can't open this stone lock left in the end. ”

"Interesting, let me see what all the wisdom left behind by the goddess who created the final machine will be."

Nanshuo reached out to the earthly lock in Zhongli's hand with interest, wanting to challenge the wisdom of the goddess who had passed away.

But just as his hand was about to touch the small lock, Zhongli dodged his hand elsewhere, causing Nan Shuo, who had lost his center of gravity, to almost fall off the dragon's back.

"Hey, what are you doing, Zhongli, this is dangerous, you know? I almost fell and died."

Nanshuo shouted with some fear.

The cry attracted Nesario, who was flying towards Liyue, and the black dragon muttered to himself, "If you really fell and died, if that were the case, I would be riding on your back and playing tricks on people." ”

"Shut up! The relics that have been left to me in the end can not be touched at will. ”

Zhongli's expression suddenly became a little excited, but immediately changed back to his previous calm appearance, he coughed lightly and said lightly: "Well, since you are so interested, it's nothing for you to take a look, but if you dare to break it......"

Zhongli clenched his fists, gestured at Nanshuo and smiled kindly, "I might consider letting you experience what it's like to fall off the back of a dragon and fall free. ”

"Okay, okay, I got ......"

Nan Shuo looked unhappy and gently took the earthly lock from Zhongli's hand, and then began to study the earthly lock.

"Hmm... Well, I see, it's quite a delicate structure, and it can't be forcibly destroyed by brute force, otherwise the things inside will be destroyed.

Perspective...... Damn, are all the things made by the goddess so strong in anti-perspective?

Wait, this thing looks a bit like a Rubik's Cube...... Well, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the Rubik's Cube...... At least not with the third-order Rubik's Cube. ”

After working for a long time, Nan Shuo was sweating profusely and fumbling with the earthly lock in his hand, and Zhongli on the side looked at him helplessly and said, "How about it, can you open it?" Sure enough, it's better to give it back to me first. ”

But Nan Shuo, who was frantically turning the earthly lock, didn't mean to return it, but shouted loudly: "Wait! I'm going to put it together soon. ”

"I've heard you say that once half an hour ago."

Zhongli said with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Then after another half an hour, Nanshuo finally announced the reality that he had failed to break the earthly lock.

"Sure enough, you have also failed, but don't be discouraged, even the Borrowing Wind Liuyun Zhenjun, who is also very good at machinery, is also helpless against this stone lock, and you don't feel too hurt."

Zhongli said comfortingly.

"Heh, I'm going to get hurt? Joke!

I can't kill this stone lock, but I can kill the person who developed it......"

Nan Shuo, who was originally excited, looked at Zhongli, whose expression was gradually becoming dangerous, and said stupidly: "I mean, I can find the person who developed this stone lock to solve it." ”

“？？？ What do you mean? ”

A ridiculous thought flashed through Zhong Qi's mind, and he asked in disbelief.

"That's right."

Nanshuo threw the earthly lock to Zhongli and said with a smile, "Let's go to Sky Island and find the demon god who developed this earthly lock." ”
