The guard lowered his head without saying a word, immediately turned around and went out, not forgetting to close the door when leaving.

"Who...are you? Where's Knox?" Cole took two steps back uneasily and looked directly at the girl's profile, which was almost a silhouette.

Columbia did not look at her, but said in a calm tone: "He is not here, and you don't need to know who I am. Maybe I can give you the answer to the question you want to ask. There is no need for that special Eye of God." Give it back to him, he won’t want it.”

At this point, she looked at Kelai with a calm smile: "Of course, if you don't trust me, you can go to his room next door and wait for him to come back. I think he won't mind."

......

......

"Speaking of which, it's the Flower God's birthday soon, so let's go back to Xumi City."

Paimon's proposal was approved by Ying, and the journey in Ormos Port ended, and they quickly returned to Sumeru City.

However, unlike the Badminton Festival in Mondstadt or the Moonlight Festival in Liyue, there was no festive atmosphere in the city even though the Festival of Flowers was approaching.

It wasn’t until I arrived at the Grand Bazaar that I felt a little bit of the festival heat.

After meeting and chatting with Dina Zedai, and making an agreement to go sightseeing together at the Flower Goddess's birthday festival tomorrow, Ying and Paimon went to the streets of Sumeru City above ground to enjoy this rare leisure time.

——The next day, early morning.

"Haha -" Paimon woke up and yawned greatly. While rubbing his eyes, he said to Ying who was stretching: "Did you get up a little late? Take the time to find Dina Zedai. .”

Ying nodded and went to open the door.

So - boom! ! ! ! !

A terrifying dark pillar of light rose in the distant sky, and the bright and clear sky in the early morning suddenly turned into a brilliant and gorgeous night sky. However, the breathless coercion in the air made people just walk out of the room. Ying and Paimon froze instantly.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Spirit!"

The two of them rushed towards the place where the light pillar rose without any hesitation.

This is an empty park with no one around, and the source of the black light beam is the figure kneeling on the ground on the green grass, pressing his temples with both hands, screaming in pain.

Beside that man, the petite girl looked anxious, but she couldn't bring him any help.

"Ling... what's going on?" Paimon covered his mouth and said in panic: "It seems to be in great pain! What should I do?"

As she spoke, she looked to her side, but Ying was no longer there, but had already rushed towards Ling.

Facing the terrifying rising pillar of light, she rushed in without any hesitation.

The terrifying high temperature and extremely cold low temperature acted on her body at the same time. The two heavens of ice and fire in a moment almost swallowed up Ying's consciousness, but she gritted her teeth and stepped closer to the figure in the center who had lost her mind and was almost completely out of control.

Washed by the beam of light, she squatted down in front of him, hugged him with difficulty, and hugged him tightly: "Ling... calm down..."

"Ahhhhhh!!!" The clear and melodious boy's voice was no longer there, only a beast-like roar echoed in his throat.

"Get out of here quickly! His power is out of control." Nasida, who was next to Ling but seemed completely unaffected by the beam of light, shouted at Ying very fast: "If you continue to be washed away like this, your consciousness will be wiped out. of!

Ying didn't react at all when he heard this, but Paimon outside suddenly became anxious: "Come out quickly, Ying!"

Ying turned a deaf ear and hugged Ling's body tightly, gritting his teeth: "Wake up quickly, Ling..."

But contrary to expectations, instead of being awakened, Ling roared even more crazily. He removed his hands from his temples, condensed a ball of black light and threw it at the person restraining him in front of him.

boom! !

"Well..." The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow and soul made Ying groan, but the arms holding Ling did not loosen at all.

"Get out of there, Ying! The spirit is out of control!" Paimon was so anxious that she almost cried. She gritted her teeth and was about to get into the light beam, but the intense heat and cold made her cry the moment she hit the black barrier. She shouted and rolled in the air: "It's so hot, so cold... Ouch, it hurts, please come out quickly..."

"Wake up... Ling!" Ying, who had already reached his limit and his consciousness was almost uncontrollably escaping into the darkness, bit Ling's shoulder.

boom!

The black beam of light suddenly brightened, then seemed to reach its peak, and then ushered in darkness and convergence as it flourished and then declined...

As the light beam dissipated, the originally crazy and out-of-control spirit suddenly turned into a chaotic state that was sometimes distorted and sometimes transparent.

Ying, Nasida and Paimon, who had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly had their hearts in their throats again.

"What...is going on?" Ying couldn't help but murmured as she panted heavily to relieve the pain.

But no one at the scene could give her an answer, even Nasida was confused.

As for Ling's body, this chaotic and twisted state is becoming more and more intense, and the changes back and forth make people worry that it will break like a light that is constantly being turned on and off.

But unexpectedly, there was really a roar in their ears.

Ling's body was finally no longer twisted and chaotic, but instead flickered with chaotic noises.

The young man raised his blurred eyes and looked at the girl who was close at hand, but he didn't seem to be looking at her... Ling raised his hand with difficulty and touched Ying's cheek, with an incomprehensible emotion in his voice: "Yes Are you dating...Song and I...have been looking for you for a long time..."

After the words fell, the noise subsided, the arms dropped, the eyes closed, and finally the body fell softly into Ying's arms.

Ying hugged Ling blankly, her brain and thinking in chaos.

Chapter 78 Awakening

"This is roughly what happened. After he and I were forcibly separated, the [Rage] that I had temporarily suppressed for him broke away from its restrictions and took advantage of him while he was sleeping. This led to the scene you just saw... "

Ying sat on the grass, using Ling's legs as a pillow, massaging his temples that throbbed from time to time, and listening to Nasida's explanation.

"Forced separation?" Paimon, who was floating next to Ying, couldn't help but ask, "Why is this happening?"

Nasida was silent for a moment, shook her head and said: "I can't tell the reason directly. The truth involved can only be found by yourselves. If others tell you, your spirits will be greatly impacted, and I don't know what the consequences will be. I guarantee it.”

Ying glanced at Ling who was resting on his lap with some doubt, and asked: "So...has he...recovered now?"

"Which aspect do you mean?"

"Will the out-of-control situation just now happen again?"

"...Not sure, but the erosion of [Rage] must still be there. The state just now is more like a kind of catharsis induced and transformed by unknown reasons than a complete loss of control, but things like emotions are endless. It keeps happening, and no one knows whether he will wake up later as a normal spirit or an out-of-control demon of the night." As Nasida spoke, her voice gradually weakened, and she raised her hand to stroke her head: "And we can't give it to you. He brings any help."

"Ah?" Paimon said sadly, "How could this happen? Nasita, can't you now enter the spirit's body and help him suppress the erosion like you did before?"

Nasida shook her head: "Erosion is entangled with his consciousness, or the two are one in itself. Now that it enters his body, it will no longer help..."

"What do you mean?" Pamon tilted his head in confusion.

Nasida shook her head and did not answer any more, but said: "In the previous period, I helped the spiritual pressure erode, and when he lost control just now, he isolated the abnormality here. My current condition is not very good, and I may have to 'disappear' For a moment, I would like you to take care of him before that..."

After saying that, without waiting for Ying and Paimon to respond, Nasida had closed her eyes in exhaustion, and her body gradually became illusory, until it finally turned into particles of light and dissipated.

"Well...it really disappeared..." Paimon muttered, then looked at the screen and said: "What should we do now? It seems that we will not be able to participate in the Flower Goddess's birthday festival. I hope Dina Zedei will not be too busy." Sorry..."

Ying also sighed, looking down at Ling Na and the face that had not changed in his memory, a look of reminiscence gradually appeared in his eyes. The first time he saw him, he seemed to be like this, alone and unconscious in the vast universe. Drifting.

Although he and his brother rescued him, at that time neither he nor his brother could guarantee whether he could still wake up...

The ending last time was beautiful. The lonely drifter finally opened his closed eyelids and showed a clear smile to the twins under the sunlight.

Ying still remembers that that smile was so beautiful, just like the sky outside at that time, just like the sky above our head now, blue and blue, with white clouds...

So, the drifter and the two travelers met, and they experienced various adventures together, traveled to various countries, and accompanied each other all the way until 500 years ago...

Ying sighed, reached out and touched the side of the young man's face, with a helpless smile on his lips: "Time flies so fast... Ling."

"...Ying..." Paimon floated to Ying's side, scratching his cheek, hesitating to speak, and finally asked uncontrollably: "Actually, you do like spirits...right?"

Ying's expression was stunned for a long time, then she shook her head.

"I don't know... I just want him to be there for me... like he always was."

"..."

......

Ling opened his eyes, and a trace of undetectable pain flashed across his calm face, which soon turned into a helpless chuckle.

"Ah! Wake up!" Paimon, who had been accompanying Yingshou here, immediately shouted.

"Are you okay? Ling..." Ying said nervously.

Ling sat up with his hands on the ground and ignored the question. He pressed his temples and muttered to himself lazily: "It's very dangerous to wake up a sleeping person suddenly... It seems like the teaching building will be burned down." It seems to be a very good way to vent, ah... Using the Order Academy as a torture rack is not an insult to you sages, right?"

"Hey...did you say something terrible?" Paimeng, who was floating aside, said with twitching face.

The spirit seemed to have just come back to its senses, and looked around. His eyes paused for a moment on Ying and Paimon's faces, and then showed a kind and gentle smile: "Thank you, but I seem to have helped you before, so We're even, so the reward will be waived. Goodbye."

After speaking quickly, black flames rose from his body.

"Wait a minute!" Ying grabbed Ling's arm, stared at him with stern eyes, and said a little willfully: "Don't leave!"

"Huh?" Ling raised his eyebrows: "You won't leave if you don't want to? Then wouldn't I be very embarrassed?" After saying that, the black flames became stronger and were about to engulf him in an instant.

But before that, Ying had already thrown herself on him, and when Paimon saw this, he immediately hugged one of Ying's arms.

Then——the black flames directly swallowed the three of them.

boom!boom!boom!

Three sounds of falling from high altitudes were heard one after another.

Ying and Paimon fell to the ground. They sat up and shook their heads, which were a little dizzy from the fall. They cast their gazes over there blankly, and a black light condensed in mid-air and hit the ground. They rebounded and landed gracefully. spirit.

"Hmm... why did you fall from the air? Also, why is it that you are the only one who lands so handsomely?" Pamon floated up swaying, while staring at him with a look of dissatisfaction as he knelt on one knee on the ground, holding on with one hand. The spirit of the temple.

Ling glanced at her sideways, spread his hands and said, "I don't have good control over my abilities now, and you all suddenly came up to me. Now the node of the space jump is wrong. Do you blame me?"

"Well..." Paimon, who knew he was in the wrong, scratched his head and looked at the man next to him who had stood up and was calmly patting the dust on his skirt: "Well... what he said seems to make sense..."

Ying rolled her eyes and looked around. This place was a dense jungle with towering ancient trees everywhere. She suddenly frowned with delicate and beautiful eyebrows: "Where is this place? It seems that it is no longer within the scope of Xumi City. Already..."

"Huh? It's true! The trees here are so big..." Paimon was also surprised and then looked at Ling, and said very familiarly: "Ling, where are we?"

Ling ignored this little guy who was very good at getting close, but carefully observed the surrounding scenery.

"Another dream..." he whispered to himself.

Chapter 79 Where is this

"spirit?"

Seeing that Ling ignored him and thought he was distracted and didn't hear, Paimon couldn't help shouting again.

Knox glanced at her: "What?"

"Hey! You really didn't listen to me at all!" Pamon crossed his arms and puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction: "I was asking where this is."
