Seeing Jiang Bai come back, Changji, who was squatting on the ground and playing with blades of grass, stood up.

"Brother Jiang Bai, you're back!"

Jiang Bai nodded, "I've been waiting for a long time, let's keep going." ”

It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not far from the dungeon that Changji mentioned after walking a little longer, so you can find a drier place to eat, rest and sleep.

After you're done, I'll go to that dungeon the next day.

Continuing on the road, he looked at Jiang Bai's back for a long time and walked silently in a low voice.

He felt like he was dragging his feet.

If it weren't for taking him with him, Jiang Bai could fly in the sky by himself, not only faster but also more labor-saving.

But it is not good for him not to follow Jiang Bai, he can finally leave here to find his mother, and it is impossible for him to give up this opportunity.

Jiang Bai can indeed use the wind element to fly in the sky, but as soon as he flies into the sky, the thunder in the sky is like long eyes, and they all come to split him, which is strange and scary.

It's still down-to-earth, and you can look at the scenery while walking, and see the scenery you haven't seen before.

The stragglers looked at Jiang Bai from a distance, watching two people the size of ants move forward little by little.

The long streamers under the hat were blown by the wind, and the clothes that were wet from the rain made him feel uncomfortable.

The sky became dark unconsciously, and Jiang Bai found a place with relatively high ground to make a matchbox.

Changshi, who has already had an experience, is very skillful in using the things Jiang Bai took out to start a fire, set up a pot, boil water, and then carefully handle the ingredients that Jiang Bai took out.

He doesn't talk much, but he never shirks what he can do, and strives to make himself valuable and not be abandoned.

Seeing that this would make him feel safe, Jiang Bai went with him.

It's good to be able to rest.

"Tsk, your life in the wild is really good, and there are people to do chores for you."

The straggler walked to the window at some point, and looked at Jiang Bai lying on the chair through the window, and said something strange.

Jiang Bai opened his eyes, a little surprised.

"It's almost dark, why don't you come back to your camp here?"

"I can go wherever I want." With that, he walked straight in.

Nagaji was chopping vegetables, and when he saw the Balladeer coming in, he smiled at the Balladeer and then lowered his head and continued his work.

The Balladeer looked at him, but didn't pay him much attention.

He glanced around the matchbox, which was no different from the outside. The flat ground made of rock elements is not damp at all, there is no mud and dust, and it is very clean.

He even built a stove and chimney for the convenience of cooking.

A house built at random is even better than the thatched huts that the villagers on the island have painstakingly built.

"The elemental power has really been played with by you."

Jiang Bai waved his hand modestly, "It's okay, it's just average." ”

Seeing Jiang Bai's bright appearance when he gave a little sunshine, the straggler rolled his eyes and took off the hat on his head.

"Give me a chair."

Jiang Bai snapped his fingers, and the chair was generated behind the skirmishers, and he said to Changji at the same time, "Cook more vegetables." ”

"Okay."

Jiang Bai glanced at the wet clothes on the stragglers, "Why don't you change your clothes, I feel uncomfortable when they stick to my body." ”

"It's pretentious."

Despite the hypocrisy, the balladeer took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear, and the rest was baked by the stove.

Seeing that he was naked, Jiang Bai threw a coat to him, and he really couldn't help complaining: "You Fatui are so shabby, don't you even prepare more clothes for you?" ”

He was seen wearing this outfit in Mondstadt, and it was still the same as Inazuma.

How much do you like this outfit?

The Balladeer put on his coat and looked at him with a blank expression.

"I'm a doll and don't need to change clothes."

"What????"

Jiang Bai felt like he was hallucinating.

"What are you?"

For Jiang Bai's overly unexpected reaction, the stragglers were directly annoyed, and their voices became sharp.

"I'm a puppet, didn't you hear me!"

For him, who wants to become a human, it is not a simple matter to confess his identity as a puppet.

It's like dissecting one's own heart to show others, and a little hurt can make his already sensitive heart bruise again.

"Oh, the puppet" Jiang Bai was just surprised, and quickly accepted it.

He accepted it so quickly, and the balladeers were a little unhappy.

"Aren't you afraid? Don't you think I'm a monster? Don't you think I'm an outlier? ”

Jiang Bai looked at him strangely, "Why do you have so many strange thoughts?" Dolls are dolls, and it's not something unacceptable. ”

Balladeer: "."

Nagaji glanced at the balladeer quietly, and didn't see where this strange person looked like a doll at all.

But it's easy to get along with, but it's obvious at a glance.

Seeing the knot in the hearts of the stragglers, Jiang Bai took the initiative to explain: "I have a friend, his name is Albedo, a life created by alchemy, and he is not human in nature. ”

"If you're not a person, you're not a person, why are you so obsessed with the identity of [person]? Is it because you're a puppet that I'm going to change my attitude toward you and treat you like a monster or an alien? ”

Hearing Jiang Bai's words, the stragglers couldn't help but think of the Niwa they met in the Borrowed View Pavilion.

At that time, they were also like Jiang Bai now, and they did not have different views because of the identity of other puppets.

It's just that Niwa, who was once regarded as a beautiful person in the world, deceived him and betrayed him.

In the end, all that was left was filth.

Seeing that the stragglers suddenly stopped talking, and their mood swings were not normal, Jiang Bai stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The balladeer closed his eyes and detached himself from his memory, "Nothing. ”

He looked at the puzzled Jiang Bai in front of him and didn't speak for a long time.

He didn't know why he was here, or why he confessed his identity to him.

Maybe it's too much to be recognized, too lonely.

A man who knew his identity as a Fatui continued to regard him as a friend, and for him, it was like a haven on a rainy day, and he couldn't help but want to take refuge from it.

He is just like Jiang Bai once said, while longing, he avoids.

Because he was afraid of being hurt again, he refused to approach everything.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself, so he covered his face.

"Really nothing?" No matter how Jiang Bai looked at him, he didn't look like anything.

"Don't meddle with things!"

"Look at what you said, how can the concern between friends be called nosy?"

Seeing that Jiang Bai was unrelenting, the stragglers could only say: "...... Just remembered something from the past. ”

"Can you say that?"

Jiang Bai was really curious about this guy's past.

What happened to create his current awkward character?

How did a puppet become the sixth seat of the Fatui executive?

"I can't."

"Okay......"
