Chapter 432: I stand above time, overlooking the past like smoke
Inazuma Tatarasa
What was once the most prosperous craftsman shrine in Inazuma has now declined,
There have been many problems with the heart of the Mikage hearth, and the evil forces that often emerge have also made this place a dangerous place, and it is no longer suitable for people to live.
Most of the rich and powerful have moved out, and only a few powerless people still live here.
Wang Daoyi came here through the leyline passage, and immediately found that it was different from when he had come.
The dangerous and evil aura in the direction of the heart of the original Mikage Furnace dissipated a lot,
"It's Ying who has repaired the heart of the Imperial Shadow Furnace, and I feel that the evil power has been absorbed and suppressed."
Wang Daoyi's inner thoughts flashed away, and then he turned his head to look in other directions,
Feeling the guidance of the power of time in the depths of his soul, Wang Daoyi's gaze turned to a building ruin.
"That's where the craftsmen used to live."
"Did the power of time guide me here because of the key information here?"
"In that case, let's go and have a look."
Wang Daoyi's heart flickered, and without hesitation, he turned into golden light and flew towards the ruins.
Coming to the ruins, the [Authority of Time] in the depths of Wang Daoyi's soul became even more restless.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand, and the authority of God's heart emerged,
"Then let me see what's going on here."
The Authority of Time shook,
In an instant, like a great river going against the current, time is reversed,
As soon as Wang Dao appeared in a time tunnel full of illusions,
However, when the [Authority of Time] was first obtained, it seems that the power of the authority is now stronger.
The picture of time goes backwards, and the power of time continues to flow, taking Wang Daoyi's sight to the past.
On the other side,
Outlying islands
Lei Yingying, who was shopping, turned his head with Nahida and looked in the direction of Tatarasa.
After a few breaths, both gods withdrew their gazes, looked at each other as if nothing had happened, and continued to play.
Yae Miko glanced at the two gods, didn't know what was going on, raised her eyebrows, and didn't speak.
Turning his gaze back to Tatanasha,
Wang Daoyi, under the leadership of the power of time, has turned his gaze to the past.
In the catastrophic picture,
Under the torrential rain and thunder, Tatarsand was hit by the tsunami,
The originally stable furnace core changed, and wisps of evil power leaked out.
Whether it's the craftsmen stationed here, the civilians who were hired, or the shogunate army who guarded the place,
Under the infection of evil forces, they have fallen into crisis,
For a time, this sacred place of Inazuma craftsmen was like a hell on earth.
And in this hellish picture, a young man dressed in white and wearing a golden feather looked at the miserable scene in front of him, with a sad look in his eyes.
Beside the boy stood a middle-aged man, tall with calluses on his hands, apparently a good craftsman.
"Niwa, haven't the people who sent it out come back?"
"No, the rain is too heavy, the tsunami is not over, and I am afraid that the people sent out will be more than lucky."
"Can't you go by land?"
"It's too late, it will take too long to get from here to Inazuma Castle."
"Niwa, let me go, I have the general's token, I can ask to see the general, as long as the general makes a move, the disaster here will definitely be quelled."
"But" The middle-aged man hesitated, as he said just now, the wind and rain were too strong, the tsunami was still there, and now going to sea was undoubtedly self-defeating.
But the middle-aged man couldn't say anything to stop him, because he knew that if no one went to Inazuma for help, Tatarasa would really be hopeless here.
Looking at the two people in the picture, Wang Daoyi knew that one of these two people was a former skirmisher, or rather, a pure white skirmisher, and Niwa, one of the people in charge of Tatarasa at the beginning.
However, compared to these two people, Wang Daoyi is more interested in the engineer dressed as Fontaine in the corner of the picture.
The engineer named Escher, standing in the corner of the picture, seemed to look very worriedly at the hearth in the distance,
However, Wang Daoyi is too familiar with his eyes,
That kind of bland, indifferent, even high-minded, looking at everything as a tool,
"It's you, Dotore."
Wang Dao had such a look in his eyes,
When I heard Yae Miko talk about historical archives before, Wang Daoyi felt that these things were like the means of doctors.
Now that he sees the historical picture, he can already be sure that the blackening of the skirmishers is inseparable from the doctor.
When Wang Dao thought about it,
The picture of time begins to change,
seems to know Wang Daoyi's inner thoughts, and the picture does not follow the pure white skirmishers who braved the wind, rain, thunder and lightning to go to sea.
Instead, it follows Escher in the corner of the frame, a slice of Dotore.
After seeing Bai San leave, Escher looked at Niwa beside him: "If there is a stranger to ask for help, the general will definitely not turn a blind eye, Your Excellency Niwa, please rest assured." ”
Niwa nodded slightly: "Well, Mr. Escher, before the Charmer returns, we still have to work hard ourselves to close the hearth." ”
Escher nodded: "Of course, I will do my best." ”
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Escher." Niwa seemed a little tired.
"You're a little tired, let's go rest first, Your Excellency Niwa."
"There is no rest, and there are still many civilians in need of help."
Niwa rejected Escher's proposal, dragged his sick body, and began to help the civilians and craftsmen in Tatarasa.
And in the place where Niwa couldn't see, Escher shook his head slightly: "What a good person, it's a pity, the harlequin needs a stranger, since that's the case, let you die for the stranger, anyway, eliminating the disaster in the hearth is what you want, isn't it." ”
didn't wait for Wang Daoyi to continue watching, and the picture flowed again,
This time, the picture appeared on Bai San's side,
Maybe it's because of the many tribulations,
Bai San is already a displaced.
His pure white clothes were already soaked, and if it weren't for the golden feather he wore on his chest, he would be no different from the wandering victims.
With the golden feather as evidence, Bai San finally passed through many obstacles and came to the castle tower.
It's just that after coming to the castle tower,
Bai San bowed his head, he begged, he prayed, hoping that Lei Ying could see him and listen to him tell about the disaster of Tatarasa,
However, Bai San didn't know that Lei Movie was already in the pure land and no longer cared about the outside world.
Everything in Inazuma is handed over to the [Eternal Guardian]
Therefore, no matter how much the exclamator pleaded, he received no response.
In front of the Raiden Shogun, who pursues eternity, everything in Tatarasa is not important, and when the tsunami passes, the disaster will naturally disappear.
[Unchanged is eternal!] 】
Rejected by Raiden Shogun and unable to get a response from the Raiden movie, Hakusan left the castle tower, and the people who stepped on Tatarisa were still dying, and he couldn't pin people's lives on that indifferent god.
So, Bai San set foot on the Shadow Mountain, and with the golden feather as a certificate, he was received by Yae Miko.
"The people of Tatarasa are suffering from a catastrophe, people are dying all the time, and we need help!"
The pure white child prayed to the beautiful shrine maiden.
"I already know about the disaster of Tatarasa, and as the Narukami Miyaji, I won't turn a blind eye, however, I need time to mobilize manpower, and I hope you can wait."
"The general will never abandon you"
The beautiful fox Miyaji said.
And exhausted, all hope was worn out in vain, and seeing that the other party did not immediately start the rescue, he only gave a verbal promise.
And after saying that the indifferent god would not abandon him,
The emotions surging in my heart could no longer be calmed and exploded like a volcanic eruption.
In Hakusan's view, it was the Inazuma shogunate who abandoned the people of Tatarasa.
Raiden Shogun turned a blind eye to the disaster of Tatarasa.
Narukami Shrine has procrastinated on the rescue.
Standing on top of time, Wang Daoyi looked at the collapsed, desperate, and heartbroken children in the picture, as if he saw a pure white piece of paper, on which a little ink stain appeared, and it was spreading.
Followed by
The power of time is surging again, with the picture constantly changing,
In the flow of time,
Wang Daoyi saw Hakusan leave the Narukami Taisha Shrine and set out on the road back to Tatarasa alone.
And when Bai San returned to Tatarasa,
Disasters have spread all over the land of Tatarasa, life is dying, people are crying,
Hakusan felt guilty and wanted to tell Niwa that he hadn't been able to bring back reinforcements.
But the next moment, the engineer Fontaine, named Escher, told him,
Niwa was blamed by the shogunate for the leakage of the hearth, and had already absconded with his family, but left behind a device that could solve the disaster, and said that Niwa wanted the skirmishers to solve the problem.
Niwa's escape once again tore a wound in Bai San's pure heart,
He didn't understand why Niwa had absconded, and it was clear that the family members who had stepped on Tatarasha were still in pain.
But the concern for the people of Tatatara Sand made Hakusan have no time to think about Niwa's betrayal,
He took the box left by Niwa and rushed into the contaminated hearth,
With the strong physical fitness of the puppet and the protection of the inexplicable power in the box, Bai Sanchong came to the heart of the hearth,
When he opened the box, he found a withered heart inside.
Following Engineer Escher's reminder, Bai San eventually shut down the furnace and the pollution of the tatarsand began to slow down.
"What's going on with that box, the heart inside?" Bai San asked Engineer Escher suspiciously.
Escher's expression froze, with a hint of guilt, and he spoke, "It was taken from an innocent craftsman before Niwa fled. ”
The white dilated pupils shrank, and the pure white soul collapsed again,
He doesn't understand, he doesn't understand,
Why did Niwa use the lives of innocent people as a prop for salvation,
In his impression, Niwa was a cheerful, kind, and righteous craftsman, and a person who was admired by the people of Tatarasa.
And now, he sees another Niwa, he is cowardly, he is ruthless, he persecuts the innocent.
For a while, Bai San felt that he couldn't understand people's hearts.
Outside the picture, Wang Daoyi could clearly feel that the despair on Bai San's body was a little stronger.
However, Bai San still did not show the malice of a straggler to the outside world.
More like a child who has fallen into autism, a child who has been abandoned by the whole world.
Later, the shogunate's support came, and Hakusan, as the hero who closed the hearth, did not come forward to meet them.
After the tatarsand furnace core returns to normal,
Hakusan didn't stay there any longer, Niwa's betrayal, like a sharp knife stuck in Hakusan's heart, and he began to wander in Tatarasa.
Until one day,
In the dilapidated old house on the shore of Tatarasa, he saw a child,
The child is a small one, and he looks no more than seven or eight years old.
But without the protection of adults, he is like a cub, looking for support alone in a dangerous world.
Looking at the child's dust-stained face, Bai San had an inexplicable cramping pain in his chest, as if something ancient had been revived in his body.
For this reason, Bai San stopped wandering, stayed in the dilapidated house, and began to take care of the young children.
For several days, the child's parents did not return.
"What about your parents?" Bai San couldn't help but ask the child.
There was a trace of ignorance on the child's little face: "Mom and Dad have passed away." ”
"Deceased?"
"Well, they are workers on the other side of the hearth, they were infected with a strange disease before, and they have been coughing up blood, and they can't be cured, and then the family has no money, so their parents left and never came back."
Bai San listened to the little boy's words, and the cramping in his chest became more and more intense,
hearth, sick, coughing up blood,
Bai San knew that the other party's parents must have been infected by the power of evil to get sick.
The parents who have never returned, I am afraid that they have died quietly in a corner,
And the reason why they left was probably because they didn't want to pass on the strange disease to their children.
For a while, Bai San was moved,
They don't have parents,
They were all abandoned,
None of them have friends,
They were all alone,
He felt as if he had found his kind.
Bai San looked at the child, and the other party's eyes were as pure and spotless as he used to be.
"Then do you want to be my family!"
"Family, okay!"
On the screen where the power of time appears, Bai San and the child are holding hands, which looks very healing.
And the breath of despair on Bai San's body was rapidly dissipating, and he seemed to have found the anchor point in his heart.
Shirasan and the child agreed with each other to become a family and spend the rest of their lives together.
The next picture is that Bai San and the little boy live together, although they live a poor life, they are also comfortable.
Until one day, the little boy's body began to decay rapidly,
Bai San, who has experienced the Tatarsand incident, can see at a glance that it is a lesion caused by the pollution of evil forces.
The parents' farewell did not allow the little boy to escape the pollution of evil forces.
Bai San took the little boy back to the Borrowed Scenery Pavilion,
Under the flaming red maple leaves, Bai San carefully took care of the little boy and struggled to maintain the other party's life.
It's just that the weakness of life never shifts by human will,
The death of man is only a moment,
time screen flow,
One day, after Bai San returned from looking for food and medicinal herbs outside,
found that the little boy was lying on the ground silently, his young body curled up, and the blood coughed up from his mouth was like a maple leaf on the side, which was bright red.
The little hand was still holding a doll, and it was a small white scatter.
The little man in white clothes and black hair, with a belt with a small bow on his waist, is obviously a smiling doll, but there is a funny round teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye,
The little doll seems to be telling Bai San:
[I'm gone, family, please don't cry for me. 】
"No, no, that's not true." The pupils shrank suddenly, and the medicinal herbs fell off from Bai San's hands and scattered all over the ground.
The pain in his heart made him unable to help himself, and he stumbled to the little boy's side, reaching out to probe his breath without any response.
"I obviously said that I was a family member and wanted to live together, but why, why did you leave me."
Bai San's mood fluctuated violently, and the ink stain on the pure white paper expanded rapidly,
Despair, hatred, misanthropy, all kinds of negative emotions appeared in him like a turbulent wave.
"Again, again, again!"
"My Creator has forsaken me."
"My friends have abandoned me too."
"Now, my last family has abandoned me."
"If I was born wrong, then why did I come into this world."
night
A fire raged on the beach.
Bai San burned down the wooden house, took the old straw hat he found in the wooden house, and continued his wandering journey.
He wandered around, not knowing where he was going or where he could go.
He met more people along the way,
Only this time, he no longer sees any of them as family.
Outside the time screen, Wang Daoyi was slightly silent, he didn't expect that the unruly and malicious stragglers who were full of malice towards the world would have such a warm but sad story behind it.
The sympathy in his eyes flashed, replaced by resolute indifference.
"Your story is certainly touching, your life experience is really tragic, and your experience is really sympathetic."
"But the mistakes you made are also real, and the tragedies you have caused are also real."
"I sympathize with you."
"But I will never forgive you!"
Forgiveness of the abuser is such a thing, only the victim is qualified.
And the only thing Wang Daoyi can do is punishment.
Regardless of what the Balladeer has been through, he will have to pay the price after he projects malice at innocent people.
Injuries are never an excuse for evil.
Injuries are never a reason to swing a knife at an innocent person.
On the screen of time, the power of time slowly dissipates, and it seems that the story here is about to end.
The golden gnosis in Wang Dao's eyes flowed slightly,
"I finally have the opportunity to wait for you to move, it's not my habit to look at it in vain."
With a thought,
The surging elemental power converges, impacting the [Authority of Time] in time.
The vast elemental power was like a continuous source of power, allowing the power of time that had begun to slowly dissipate to gather again.
Elemental power is one of Teyvat's most primordial powers.
Normally, it has nothing to do with time.
But now that there is the embodiment of the power of time, the elemental force can be supported by the power of time through this embodied existence.
Although the force of time itself may not be needed, it is like a car with the accelerator pedal, in the absence of brakes and crashes, if you want to keep fueling, it can only keep driving, even if the car itself wants to stop, it is useless.
With the support of Wang Daoyi's vast elemental power,
The power of time converged again, and the originally dissipated time picture began to flow again.
