The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 314 Forgetting
"Ying, I have a feeling that this time... may be different from the past."

Who's talking? It sounds so familiar...

Ying frowned in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, feeling dizzy as if she had suddenly fallen from a high altitude and then suddenly risen again, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She struggled to wake up, and the vague voice sounded in her ears again. So out of curiosity, she slowed down her struggle temporarily and listened carefully.

"Different? Why?"

"I can't explain it either. Just treat it as a hunch."

"A hunch... so what should we do?"

Ying felt even more strange. The voice was obviously a conversation between two people, and one of the voices was exactly the same as hers, and the other's voice was also extremely familiar!
But who is the owner of this voice? Why don't I remember having such a conversation with anyone...Ying was slightly confused and subconsciously wanted to get closer to the source of the sound, even if it was just a little closer, so that she could hear it more clearly.

But they can only stay where they are and make no progress at all.

The familiar voice seemed to say something, vague and unclear. Then came my own voice, full of confidence and with a smile:

"Well, leave it to me. I won't let you down."

Ying struggled hard, trying to wake up and run towards the source of the sound.

"Ying? What's wrong with you? Wake up!"

"!!!"

Ying suddenly opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. Her loose blonde hair fell on her shoulders, and her loose pajamas revealed half of her shoulders, which was white and attractive. She took a breath, met Paimon's worried eyes, forced a smile, and reached out to rub her hair: "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare... probably a nightmare."

"Nightmare?"

Paimeng thought about it, took the initiative to hold Ying's palm, put his round little face close to it and rubbed it, comforting her like a kitten: "Don't be afraid, the nightmare will fly away~"

Ying's eyes smiled unconsciously, and her golden eyes were exceptionally gentle: "Thank you Paimon."

After a while, Ying breathed a sigh of relief and finally recovered. Then she realized that there seemed to be something strange about her body. She raised her hand and touched it, and found that her smooth forehead was wet, which was obviously the result of the nightmare just now.

"Wow~"

The sound of water waves was heard.

Ying sat in the bathtub with her knees bent, looking quite comfortable.

Today, on a whim, after playing a few erhu pieces at the port market, she and Paimon found a well-reputed hotel in Omos Port to stay in. Although the hotel was a bit expensive, it had all the necessary facilities. The owner also hired a Fontaine engineer to build a hot water system so that guests could take a hot bath in the bathroom at any time.

This alone attracted many guests to stay at the hotel - after a boat trip of more than ten days or even dozens of days, no one would refuse to take a hot bath as long as their wallet allows.

Paimon sat at the other end of the bathtub, poking his fingers at the yellow duck floating on the water, his eyes filled with a clear and innocent smile.

While Ying was paying attention to Paimeng, to prevent her from slipping into the bathtub and choking on the water, she was also thinking about the strange dream and the extremely familiar voice.

The man said that something was different from before, and she seemed to have agreed to something. In short, it was weird.

Ying wrapped her hands around her knees, with only her head above the water, her brows slightly furrowed.

"What are you thinking?"

Paimon noticed Ying's behavior and ignored the yellow duck toy. He paddled his little arms and legs underwater and grabbed the edge of the bathtub to steady himself. "Is this the nightmare just now?"

Ying nodded: "Yeah, it's a very strange dream."

"What did you dream about?" Paimon asked curiously.

Ying loosened her knees and sat up slightly. Water drops slid down her neck, shoulders and collarbones. Some of her blonde hair also gathered together and dripped water. She did not hide anything and told Paimon the contents of her dream word for word. "Well, it was indeed a very strange dream."

Paimon pinched his chin, thought hard for a moment, and then gave up: "It's just a dream. Maybe we stayed on the ship for too long, so we had such a strange dream on the first night of sleep on land?"

"possible."

Ying thought about it and felt that this inexplicable dream might really be just an inexplicable dream. She stretched, stood up and walked out of the bathtub. She raised her hand and the hanging bath towel flew into her hand, wiping the water droplets to cover her delicate body.

"It's late, haha~ Let's get some more sleep."

Ying changed back into her pajamas, yawned, and returned to the bedroom with Paimeng. She fell on the soft big bed, and her tone unconsciously became a little lazy: "Tomorrow we still have to..."

Ying suddenly stopped, and the sleepiness that had just emerged disappeared instantly. She immediately turned over and sat up, frowning, looking at Paimeng, and said hesitantly: "Paimeng, do you remember why we came to Xumi?"

"Ok?"

Paimon was stunned for a moment, scratching his hair subconsciously: "It seems... you are looking for your brother?"

"Brother? No, I'm definitely not looking for my brother. I remember it was something very important, but..."

Ying looked a little confused: "But why can't I remember what it was?"

……

"Great Sage, the group of thirty has successfully retrieved the [Divine Canned Knowledge] and stored it in the Pure Glaze Workshop, where it is being looked after by a special person."

"Well done, have you found out the reason for the change in [God's Canned Knowledge]?"

"Not yet, but some scholars believe that the mutation is likely related to the Demonic Scale Disease and the Dead Zone. The appearance of these three may have the same cause."

"Which idiot specifically reported this kind of information that can be known at a glance?"

Azar turned around, his expression showing no emotion. "Or do they just want to attribute the changes to the demonic scale disease, so as to find an excuse for their own incompetence?"

The Great Sage's direct subordinates hurriedly saluted, not daring to speak in defense of the scholars.

"Tell those guys that it doesn't matter if other things go wrong, but there are only two things. If there are any accidents, we will all be sinners of Xumi. First, confirm whether the [God Canned Knowledge] still has the original effect after the mutation; second, make sure that the Ordinance House has absolute control over the experiment."

Azar waved his hand, with no intention of inflicting his anger and resentment on others - that was a sign of stupidity and incompetence, and was definitely not what a wise man would do.

"Go down."

"Yes, Great Sage."

"and many more."

Azar suddenly spoke up, frowning at his subordinates' puzzled looks: "What is Dotore doing?"

……

"The Void Terminal is indeed very convenient, but it's a pity that such a thing has fallen into the hands of those old-fashioned and stubborn guys in the Ministry of Education. What a pity."

Dotore put down his tools, put the modified void terminal on his ear, and with a thought, he successfully created a blank account that could not be queried for information such as name and location, and would not leave any traces.

The account interface is simple, without many functions, and there is even only one contact person.

Dottore curled his lips slightly and sent a message to his only contact:
"You should have received my gift. What do you think, Mr. Clerk?"
