The call was somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar, but it somewhat suppressed the murderous and violent thoughts within him.
—Are there other people?!
The soldier was startled and turned around to follow the source of the voice, only to see a little girl with white hair and green eyes.
The deities of Mount Sumeru.
The stragglers remembered her, and they also recalled what happened afterward.
······
Departure.
late at night.
All sounds are silent.
On the nights after the "lockdown order" was issued, there were few ships and workers leaving the port, and the stone bricks that had been turned into scattered soldiers still lay there.
"It's really embarrassing."
A familiar soft laugh suddenly rang out.
The stragglers perked up and looked toward the source of the sound.
"PhD".
Upon seeing the approaching figure, the stragglers trembled with excitement.
He had lost count of how many days and nights he had spent as a "stepping stone".
Every day I am trampled on by those lowly, ant-like humans.
Wind and rain.
But they still can't die.
The stone steps where my consciousness was stored were of frighteningly good quality; they wouldn't be damaged no matter how much they were run over or stepped on.
He felt he was going crazy if things continued like this.
fortunately...
"Let's go."
The "Doctor" took it away.
Bring it to the boat, and temporarily transfer its consciousness from the stone bricks to the doll.
However, when they arrived at the laboratory inside the ship's cabin and opened the door, they discovered that there was already a person inside.
In this laboratory belonging to the "doctor," a place where no one dared to enter without permission, a young man was casually fiddling with the bottles and jars on the table.
"came back."
Lin Jiu'an acted as if he were at home, pointing to the chair in the laboratory.
"sit."
"I never imagined you would dare to come to me in person."
The "Doctor" had a bright smile.
"Inazuma's lightning is Balzebu's eyes. With you so brazenly crossing the sea of lightning, it's hard for me not to see it."
Lin Jiu'an said something unrelated, picked up the jar that seemed to contain a heart, and walked over to the "doctor" while tossing it around.
"You trespassed into Inazuma and took my spoils. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
The Doctor sensed a powerful aura locking onto him.
That's Balzebub.
Noticing this, the "Doctor's" smile grew even brighter: "How did you do that?"
"It's like you're letting this brainless mad dog be your dog."
Lin Jiu'an pointed to the "scattered soldier" in his hand, whose consciousness had been transferred from the steps to the puppet.
He then said, "I don't mind if you want to take it away."
"Anyway, he's just a useless piece of trash, whether he lives or dies doesn't affect me."
"We can just kill them again when the time comes."
"But it's still my spoils of war. You just took it without saying a word. Aren't you looking down on me?"
"What do you want?" the doctor asked with a smile.
······
Think of this.
The soldiers' anger flared up again.
He still can't forget the leisurely yet contemptuous smile on Lin Jiu'an's face when he was talking to the "Doctor".
"Damn guy!"
"How dare you disregard me!"
The stragglers clenched their fists, their eyes bloodshot, and only managed to snap back to reality after Naxi Da's repeated calls.
Looking into Naxida's gentle, almost foolish, starry eyes, the stragglers gradually remembered what had happened later.
The "Doctor" brought him to Sumeru, gave him a body, and told him about a plan called "God of Righteousness".
If the plan succeeds, he will gain the ability to take revenge on Lin Jiu'an.
At that time, neither Lin Jiu'an, nor the Eightfold Divine Child, nor Balzeb will be his match!
However, the plan is still missing a God's Heart before it can begin.
Then...
How did I end up here?
Just as the stragglers were wondering what was going on, he suddenly sensed a strong sense of danger.
The skirmisher immediately wanted to attack, but found that "his" body was not under his control. Instead of directly retaliating, he retreated repeatedly, feigning a hasty reaction.
Moreover, he didn't use "lightning element," but rather "wind element," which he had never possessed or used before.
'Bang!'
Violent collision of elements.
A look of astonishment flashed in the soldier's eyes as he stared at the person who had attacked him.
With black hair and black eyes, he looked exactly like Lin Jiu'an, but unlike Lin Jiu'an's indifferent and contemptuous demeanor, this person's eyes were filled with an extremely intense anger and killing intent.
What happened next was beyond the expectations of the scattered soldiers.
After fighting with the person who looked exactly like Lin Jiu'an for a while, these Sumeru people actually helped him.
Although "he" was no match for the other party, the other party clearly had some reservations about these ordinary Sumeru people due to their superior numbers. It seemed that they were unwilling to massacre these Sumeru people who were protecting "them" and scolding them.
In the end, they could only slink away.
at this time.
The stragglers felt their souls being dragged along by a force.
He was already very familiar with this feeling.
Soon, he found that his soul had been dragged out of "his" body and placed in the sky, looking down on the earth and himself like a god.
He witnessed the rapid changes in time and space.
"This is... a memory from a past life..."
He came to Xumi from Lin Jiu'an, whom he found unfamiliar.
He defeated him, who was known as the "God of the Right Machine".
Then he was forgiven by Nasida.
A new life begins in Sumeru as a "wanderer".
Furthermore, by interfering with the World Tree to change history, he attributed all the things Lin Jiu'an had done in Sumeru to himself, making himself a "hero" of Sumeru.
Lin Jiu'an, however, was captured by "Doctor".
When "The Doctor" returned, he had become the hero who saved Narcida from "The Doctor's" conspiracy, and the people of Sumeru enthusiastically supported him, while Lin Jiu'an...
Looking at these unfamiliar memories, and then at the 'wonderful' life I later experienced in Sumeru.
The stragglers gradually realized something.
—The "Doctor" said that based on Lin Jiu'an's various behaviors after his appearance, as well as the fact that some people who were meeting him for the first time seemed to have met him before or even had grudges against him, Lin Jiu'an and them may have had a "past life".
And now, it's quite obvious.
Nasita also has a "past life".
She was showing him her "past life".
Thinking of this, the soldier suddenly felt that the rapidly flowing world had turned into darkness, and then, as if the sound of shattering glass was heard, the world suddenly broke into pieces.
Then, the stragglers woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw the familiar laboratory. This was the "Doctor's" experimental site in Sumeru, where the other party had given him a new body.
After stepping off the experimental table, "Doctor" was not in the laboratory; the door was suddenly opened.
The soldier looked at the doorway and saw that the person who entered was not "Doctor," but an ordinary person he had never seen before.
The other person was looking at him.
Seeing the other person's clear, familiar eyes, the soldier suddenly realized something.
Is this Naxi Da?
Looking at the expectant gaze of the other party, the soldier recalled the memories of his past life that he had obtained from Naxida in the "dream". The soldier suddenly found it a little funny and understood something.
He had never seen such a fool.
The soldier wanted to kill her, but looking into her innocent, almost foolish eyes, he suddenly realized something.
Doesn't the "Doctor" just happen to lack the heart of God?
"Are you showing me these things so that I can reconcile with him?"
Nacida nodded.
"But I can't beat 'The Doctor' right now."
“Let’s wait for him,” Nasita whispered. “He, and Ying, will be with us…”
The stragglers shook their heads and said, "But he'll kill me."
“You’ve seen my memories too. He’s changed in this world, and he’ll never let me go.”
“He would even kill you and those innocent civilians if you tried to protect me.”
Naxi Da looked somewhat troubled.
After a long pause, she finally said, "I will have a good talk with him."
The soldier shook his head: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I know him better now. He won't let me go."
"You've heard about what he did in Mondstadt, haven't you?"
"Do you think that when he arrives, Sumeru, who betrayed him, will suffer a better fate than Mondstadt?"
“One by one, me, you, the humans of Sumeru, and the sages of the Council of Churches, who do you think he can let go?”
Nasita looked somewhat embarrassed, but after a while she said softly, "It's all my fault."
"I will apologize to him."
"What good is an apology?" the stragglers retorted. "Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma—didn't any of those people apologize to him?"
Who has he forgiven?
Seeing Naxida's obvious predicament, the soldier pondered for a moment.
"unless..."
