dreamland

In the white laboratory,

The wanderer turned to 'Wang Daoyi' and asked, "Don't you think he's ridiculous?" ”

"Ridiculous? Ha, is there anything funny going on at your point in time? "Wang Daoyi, dressed in a lab coat, smiled slightly, and from the wanderer's words, he knew that the Balladeer must have done something funny.

The wanderer was slightly stunned, he confused the 'Wang Daoyi' in front of him with the Wang Daoyi outside.

The king in front of him didn't know about the follow-up entry of the stragglers into the World Tree.

However, the wanderer did not bother and told 'Wang Daoyi' all the things that the stragglers had done.

After listening to the choices made by the skirmishers, entering the world tree, deleting themselves, and wanting to change history,

'Wang Daoyi', who was wearing a lab coat, smiled.

"Hahahaha, it's him." Then he turned to look at the wanderer, "It's ridiculous, but I can understand him. ”

"Do you understand?" The wanderer was incredible, and it was clear that the king outside, who was sneering at what the stragglers were doing.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "Any choice made by anyone has a premise, after the change of history, you have not experienced everything about the stragglers, and you may not understand that the stragglers have a very serious tendency to self-destruct." ”

"I am not surprised that he made a move to sacrifice himself, change history, and redeem everything after knowing that his life was a life to be played."

"It's just a pity that when he made his choice, he didn't seem to know about the World Tree, which is why his choice was very ridiculous."

After speaking, 'Wang Daoyi' suddenly raised his head, and then looked at a few people: "Time is running out, what else do you have to ask, please try it as soon as possible." ”

Dreams are always long, although 'Wang Daoyi' jumped out of the logic of dreams, but when the duration of the dream is over, he will disappear or disappear.

The wanderer shook his head, "I don't have anything more to ask. ”

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, and then Paimon suddenly spoke, "So, is you Daoyi?" ”

"Yes and no."

Paimon's ambiguous answer caused Paimon to pout.

Ying looked at the 'Wang Daoyi' in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Where are you from?" ”

She knew that Wang Daoyi, like her, came from other worlds,

But where is Wang Daoyi's hometown, Ying has never heard Wang Daoyi say.

Outside

The corners of Wang Dao's mouth twitched, it is worthy of you, Ying, you want to take advantage of the loophole, right?

In the dream,

Wang Daoyi shook his head at Ying: "This question is too broad, I can't answer you, if you want to know, you can ask my ontology." ”

After speaking, 'Wang Daoyi' looked up again, revealing a trace of pity: "The time is over, this dream is about to be shattered, then I wish you a smooth journey." ”

As soon as the words fell, the dream quickly distorted, and everything in front of him disappeared.

As you know, this is the next dream.

Outside

Nahida looked at Wang Daoyi, "Where did Daoyi come from?" ”

Wang Dao smiled, "Does Nahida want to know?" ”

and Wang Daoyi looked at each other quietly,

Finally, Nahida smiled and shook her head, "I don't want to know. ”

Since Wang Daoyi did not answer directly, it means that this is the deepest secret of Wang Daoyi.

Naturally, Nanahida didn't ask.

Watching Nahida turn her gaze back to the dream,

The smile on the corner of Wang Daoyi's mouth remained unchanged,

He knew Nahida wouldn't ask,

Just like he wouldn't ask Nahida anything.

In the dream,

The Wanderer and Ying continue to move forward,

After experiencing several scenes related to the doctor,

The wanderer's mood gradually became less stable,

He saw the Balladeer do a lot of wrong things under the guidance of the Doctor.

At last

The wanderer stopped before his final dream,

He raised his head and said, "God, do you think I'm evil?" ”

Ying and Paimon looked at him in amazement.

Outside, Nahida was slightly silent, and then responded to the wanderer's question: "If you think that those [you] are you, then you are evil. ”

The wanderer nodded, he understood that Nahida saw the balladeer and the wanderer separately, but if he recognized the balladeer as his own, then the evil of the balladeer was the evil of the wanderer.

So, the wanderer continued, "Is there a difference between a human and a puppet in your eyes?" ”

Nahida: "Do you think that the self of [previous life] or even [other life] is different from you?" If not, then what's the difference between a human and a puppet? ”

"Those who bear the warmth and coldness of the world and taste the joys, sorrows, and sorrows are human beings, and those who hate and cry and cry for life, old age, sickness, death, love and anger are also human beings."

Wanderer: ......

The reason why the wanderer wanders is that he is a puppet, but he yearns for people, and he wants to find his heart.

Now, Nahida tells him that there is no difference between a human and a puppet,

Just like there is no difference between [the previous life] and the present one.

As long as you bear or bear that, then you are human.

A puppet is just your identity, but talent is your essence.

The heart understands everything,

The wanderer looked up again: "I've seen enough of the past, and if I can, I'd like to retrieve the sins that should have been borne by me." ”

There was determination in his voice, but at the same time there was a hint of relaxation: "No matter what the result is, I will not escape the accusations and sanctions against me, what is deserved, let it happen." ”

Ying suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she had seen this scene in front of her when she had seen it.

It was as if Eula had confessed her mistake in front of the people of Mondstadt.

The wanderer made the same choice as Eula,

Bearing the sins that did not belong to them.

"God, can you give me that memory?" The wanderer prayed.

On the side, Paimon looked confused: "Huh? But then you don't. Won't you lose your current identity? ”

Nahida's voice also appeared in everyone's ears: "Retrieving your memories means that you will completely return to the position of [previous life], and all the emotions that you have abandoned will also return to your body, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

The reason why a wanderer is a wanderer is because he has no memories of a skirmisher and is a separate individual.

If he retrieves the memories of the Balladeers, it will be equivalent to inheriting everything from the Balladeers.

Then he is not alone, but the one who bears the sin of the stragglers.

The wanderer nodded: "I always believe that life individuals like people are born according to the law, which is a summary of past experiences, and I was born as a puppet and also followed this law." ”

"I've always lived with the hollowness in my chest, and the people who created the dolls didn't need me, and when I woke up, I wandered around."

As he spoke, the wanderer smiled, a smile of relief and relief,

"It wasn't until I met the Lord of the Red Sands and you that I realized that this disappeared sin might be the opportunity for me to become [me]."

Ying looked at the wanderer in front of her who wanted to return to her sins, and her heart was in a trance: "So, is this the true meaning of the words of the Great Cishu King?" I can't delete myself, even if the original straggler is erased, there will be such an individual who will exist in his place, this is an inescapable crime, is it also fate? ”

The Great Cishu King took the initiative to cultivate the Little Auspicious Grass King to replace himself.

The appearance of the wanderer, on the other hand, is passive.

But both have one thing in common, taking the place of a premortal life to fulfill an unfinished duty.

The Little Auspicious Grass King replaced the Great Mercy Tree King to protect Sumeru.

The Wanderer continues to atone for his sins in place of the Balladeer.

In the dream,

The wanderer's words continued: "I was born with a desire that is easier than others, and even as a cultivator, I have not been able to fully understand it, it seems that it is my own curse. ”

"So I beg you... Give me the meaning of changing karma and put an end to my wanderings. ”

The space fell silent,

Soon, Nahida's voice reappeared: "I see, since you have made up your mind, I will give you these back." ”

A glimmer of light appeared in the dream, rushing towards the wanderer like a moth to a fire.

The memories contained in the glimmer returned to the wanderer's heart,

The scenes of being a [skirmisher] poured into his mind,

The impact was devastating to the wanderer.

Ying and Paimon just showed worried expressions,

In the huge dream space,

A massive mechanical god leans out,

Kill the wanderer with endless fury.

"Obviously I have chosen to disappear, why do you want to call me back!"

"Why do you want to perpetuate this sin when it's over."

With the resentment and evasion of the stragglers, the god of opportunity launched an attack on the wanderers who were shocked by the memory and could not move.

In a hurry,

Without any hesitation, Ying chose to stand up and resist the attack of the God of Justice.

The god of the right machine in the dream is different from the god of the right machine that was easily suppressed by Wang Daoyi,

Its attack frequency is extremely high, and even if Ying is good, it is still difficult to parry.

In the mind of the wanderer,

The straggler with a fierce face looked at the wanderer with a calm face in front of him,

With discontent and self-destructive desires in his eyes,

The wanderer didn't speak, just looked at him quietly,

Then, a hand was reached.

I used to be, let me redeem you.

The wanderer knows that as long as he accepts the memories of the Balladeer, it represents the rebirth of the Balladeer and his disappearance.

But the wanderer did not hesitate, nor did he grieve, but was somewhat happy.

He found his meaning as a human being.

And the stragglers in front of him looked at the pure white wanderer with some sadness.

The pure white wanderer and the sinful self seem to be two completely different individuals.

"Why, why do you want to recover this guilty memory!"

The Balladeer does not understand the Wanderer's choice.

"Because, you are me, I am you, come back, we will take responsibility together and complete our salvation."

The wanderer's eyes revealed the answer,

The hand reaching out to the skirmisher moved a little further.

Pure white and pitch black opposites,

Clean and filthy look at each other,

The balladeer struggled to withdraw his gaze from the wanderer,

Then he closed his eyes.

"I am sinful, I am unclean, how can I pollute your life."

Once again, the Balladeer chose destruction, allowing the tentacles of sin to pull him into the abyss.

The wanderer's eyes were shocked, and without any hesitation, he rushed into the abyss of sin with the consciousness of the straggler,

Then, grabbing the hand of the balladeer.

The next moment,

Pure white and pitch black entangled,

Clean blends with filth.

In the dream,

Ying can no longer resist the god of justice who is not in the rage,

Knocked away by a blow, and when you can't dodge, you're about to be hit by the energy rays of the god of righteousness.

A huge explosion created a mushroom cloud,

The smoke cleared, but Ying was unharmed.

A figure stood in front of Ying, it was the wanderer.

The wanderer who retrieved his memories is tied up with the [Skirmishers] of the [Past Life].

In front of him, a vision of the god glowed with blue light levitated.

"Whew...... It's really unpleasant. The corners of the wanderer's mouth twitched.

Paimon: "You've completely regained your memory?" ”

Although the wanderer didn't say a few words, Paimon's sudden temperament still made Paimon feel that the annoying skirmish was back.

The wanderer glanced at Paimon, then at Ying behind him, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

looked at the god of the right machine,

"Foolish thing, get out of my sight!"

“！！！！” The god of opportunity, with a mad will, sensed it, and the Balladeer abandoned him and chose the wanderer.

"Just a sin dream, dare to be presumptuous!"

There was a hint of disgust in the wanderer's eyes,

Endless winds gathered around him,

"Die!"

The furious wind elemental tore apart the tall god of righteousness in an instant.

Ying and Paimon stared at the scene in front of them in dumbfounded.

"Gone... Did we win? Paimon looked confused.

The wanderer smiled disdainfully: "Then do you still need to ask?" There's no way I'm going to lose to it. ”

Paimon: "Ahaha, this tone is getting louder again, which shows that you have found yourself." ”

Paimon then pouted, "But it's you in there, what's there to be proud of!" ”

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm just as mean to myself as I am to others." The wanderer's eyes were slightly raised, and he said sorry words, but his tone was not apologetic at all.

Ying looked at him: "Once the memory is restored, the past will catch up with you." ”

The wanderer raised an eyebrow: "Ha, listen to your tone, as if you're worried about me." ”

Then, without waiting for Ying to answer, the wanderer's eyes changed, and a hint of coldness appeared: "Don't worry, thanks to you, although I haven't been able to change anything, I can be regarded as knowing a lot of the truth." ”

Then Nahida's voice reappeared: "The memory reading should go well, the mission of this dream is over." ”

The wanderer pursed his lips, knowing what Nahida meant: "Let's go, if there's something, let's go out and talk about it." ”

The dream is shattered, and the three of them wake up in reality.

When the wanderer opened his eyes, he saw Wang Daoyi, who seemed to be smiling, looking at him.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he who had recovered his memory naturally knew what Wang Daoyi was laughing at.

"Welcome back, but what should you be called now? The Balladeer is the name given to you by the Empress of Solstice, and you probably won't use it, and the wanderer has ended his wandering, and it doesn't fit you anymore, so give yourself a new name. ”

Wang Daoyi looked at the wanderer and spoke.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, everyone else also looked at the wanderer.

"I thought you would give me a mark first, but I didn't expect you to care about my name first." The wanderer said half-sarcastically.

"Don't worry, as a prisoner, you can't escape the mark, but since you have chosen to take responsibility, I will still give you some trust, at least, it will not be too late to give yourself a name before making a mark."

Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

The wanderer with the memories of the Balladeer is still different from the Balladeer, at least, he has less ruthlessness in his eyes.

It seems that this trip has gained and changed a little.

"Names are just code names, you can call them whatever you want." Wanderers don't care what their names are.

Most of his former names have different meanings.

The person who is curious represents that he is different from ordinary people.

The Thunderbolt Country Collapse represents his hatred for the Thunder movie and Inazuma.

The Balladeer represents his recognition by the Fatui.

The wanderer represents his memory wandering.

Now, he doesn't care about the name,

Anyway, it's all code names, so what do you like to call it?

"Oh, in that case, Paimon, aren't you the best at nicknames, so you can give him a name." Wang Daoyi smiled and looked at Paimon.

"Huh? Shall I pick it up? Paimon looked surprised, then smiled, "Hehe, it's not okay~"

The wanderer's eyes flashed as he looked at Paimon, "If you want." ”

"Huh~" Paimon shuddered, "I feel like you're threatening me." ”

The little guy hid behind Ying: "Ying, you can choose a name for him." ”

The wanderer's face remained unchanged, and if Ying had given him a name, he wouldn't have refused.

After all, although the relationship with Ying is still not good, he still trusts Ying's character.

Ying waved her hand again and again: "I won't choose a name." ”

On the side, Wang Daoyi pouted: "Since this is the case, it is better for me to take it." ”

"You like to wear hats, so you might as well call them hats." Wang Daoyi smiled, and then continued, "Then with my surname, you will be called Wang Ah Hat in the future." ”

The wanderer's eyes were cold, knowing that Wang Daoyi was taking advantage of him.

But considering that Wang Daoyi is better than him,

So the wanderer restrained the anger in his heart and said, "Then let's call it a hat, as for the surname, there is no need for it." ”

Hearing that Ah Mao rejected his surname, Wang Daoyi was not angry.

On the side, Ying and Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, Ying really didn't know what to name.

Paimon is worried that if she chooses a bad name, Ah Hat will retaliate against her.

"Hey, what's next for Ah Mao?"

Ying asked.

Ah Hao pursed his lips and looked at Wang Daoyi and Nahida: "I am a sinner, sinners are not free, what to do next, these two have the final say." ”

"Hey, aren't you going back to the Fatui?" Paimon asked.

"Knowing what the Doctor did, how could I return to the Fatui, and besides, the Fatui have probably forgotten me now."

The Balladeer scoffed.

Nahida nodded: "Although many people have forgotten you, it doesn't mean that the past in you is gone." ”

Ah Hat nodded: "That's nature." ”

"In addition, you tried your best to pursue your business, and his core purpose was not achieved, which I hope you understand."

"It's not so easy to change the world, change the past, change the fate of others."
