Chapter 819 The 1th Reincarnation
Chapter 819 The 1th Reincarnation
In Xumi City, in the early morning, the morning light is dim and the mist is lightly shrouded between the stone paths and the eaves like a veil. The whole city seems to be still immersed in the afterglow of last night's dream.
"(yawn)--"
Paimon rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and then stretched lazily.
Then, with her cheeks slightly puffed up, she looked at Ying with a hint of pouting: "It's all your fault for getting up late. Now we're going to be late!"
Ying stretched her body gently, raised her hand to cover her lips and yawned, looking at her with a smile in her eyes:
"You said I get up late? But I haven't seen you get up early either."
"Eh? I, I was just trying to build up my spirit!"
Paimon hesitated for a moment, then realized that he was talking nonsense, and blushed and quickly changed the subject, "Anyway! Let's go find Iya and then quickly meet up with Dina Zedai!"
"I know. After all, I agreed with Dina Zedai last night to set off early. We can't delay any longer!" Ying reminded with a smile.
The two smiled at each other, then opened the door and walked out of the room.
Beside the flower bed, Yiya was standing quietly waiting.
His figure appeared soft in the morning light, and the blooming patisaran behind him was gorgeous and dazzling, with its white petals swaying gently in the breeze, as if quietly blooming for this moment.
【Have I seen this plot before? 】
[But it feels different. I remember that in the previous scene, Iya was squatting by the flower bed.]
[It should just be a reuse of scenes. ]
[Hey, wait, this Iga... there's no light in his eyes! ]
The gleam of his former self faded from his eyes, and he silently walked over to Ying and Paimon. The two of them didn't notice anything unusual about him, and continued happily holding his hand as they walked forward.
The sunlight cast dappled shadows through the treetops. The three of them walked along the winding path and finally arrived at the agreed location, where they successfully met up with Dina Zedai.
"Good morning, Dina Zedai!"
"Sorry, we're late, hehe."
Paimon scratched his head, a hint of apology in his tone.
"No, I arrived too early."
Dina Zedai responded softly, her voice seemed to be crushed by the wind, revealing an imperceptible weakness.
Ying keenly noticed this abnormality and frowned slightly: "You look a little listless...Did you not get enough rest last night?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." Dina Zedai shook her head gently, a forced smile on her lips, "Let's go and check out the stalls over there first."
Ying did not answer, but just stared at her quietly, with doubt in her eyes.
For some reason, she always felt that Dina Zedai was a little strange at this moment, as if she was shrouded in a layer of mist and could not be seen clearly.
What made her even more nervous was that a sudden sense of déjà vu came over her quietly—
The scene before my eyes seemed to have appeared in distant memory.
It was as if this scene had already been quietly played out once before at some unremembered moment.
--Reality
Silver Wolf’s live broadcast room.
Not only did Ying in the game notice something unusual, but Silver Wolf outside the screen also keenly caught the slight sense of incongruity.
"Something's wrong... maybe even nine out of ten."
Silver Wolf spoke solemnly, his tone low and firm, as if he was reading out some kind of omen.
[Abstract people's exclusive "Nine is greater than ten" logic is online! ]
[Need I tell you? Hurry and analyze! I've been waiting so long that the flowers have wilted and the soil has cracked!]
I thought there was something wrong with my network, and I almost had to use the disconnect and reconnect method to recover my progress.
I immediately suspected my computer was infected with a virus, so I rebooted it—but when I came back, it was still stuck on that scene, looping in place.
[In fact, if you pay a little attention to the mission name, you will know that there is no plot delay or bug. The mission name of this paragraph is completely different from the previous paragraph, which means it is a new mission.]
[Has anyone noticed the key to the characters?! Some characters' eyes lack highlight! My little Yiya, who used to be so sweet and cute that it melted my heart, now has these empty eyes like a paper figure. It sends chills down my spine!]
The barrage of comments surged like a tide, and comments flashed one after another. Netizens expressed their opinions one after another, and their thoughts collided to create sparks.
As a veteran plot analysis blogger, Silver Wolf paused the game process immediately without any hesitation.
She calmly pulled out the notebook filled with notes, opened a new page, and began to analyze the current strange situation in detail:
"Let's start with the timeline."
She spoke steadily and logically:
"If we follow the normal plot progression, assuming we are now on 'Day 2', then this plot should be like what was said at the end of the previous plot - heading to the Ordinance Court to meet the Little Grass God."
"but……"
Silver Wolf suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the screen, his eyes sharp as a hawk. "Please look here—Ying and Paimon are still following Dina Zedai, participating in the various rituals of the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival."
"what does that mean?"
Her voice grew heavier. "That means we're still repeating 'Day One.'"
"In other words, without any subsequent plot supplements, we can reasonably speculate that we are trapped in the same day."
As soon as he finished speaking, Silver Wolf slowly raised the draft book in his hand and focused the camera accurately.
There were two simple diagrams drawn on the paper.
The first picture is marked:
Day 1 (Flower Goddess Birthday Ceremony) → Day 2 (Meeting the Grass Goddess at the Temple of the Goddess)
A bright red cross is placed next to it, symbolizing the denied path.
The second picture is:
First Day (Flower Goddess Birthday Festival) → First Day (Flower Goddess Birthday Festival)
Next to it is a clear check mark, representing the current real status.
"Moving from the first day to the second is the natural flow of time; but if we go back from the first day to the first day... that's not progress, it's a cycle."
As he spoke, Silver Wolf started writing again, sketching out the third picture on the paper—
The two "first days" are placed side by side, connected by two smooth arcs, connecting end to end, forming a perfect but unsettling closed loop.
"Analysis completed."
She closed the notebook, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes. "The situation now is very clear - we are in a time loop."
"Heh, it looks like today's workload won't be easy."
She chuckled softly, her tone revealing not only a lack of anxiety but also a certain eagerness to fight. "But it doesn't matter... The more mind-boggling and confusing the plot, the more interested I am."
——Teyvat
Xumi City, Grand Bazaar.
The sun shone, the market was bustling, and the aroma of spices and baked naan filled the air. Ying and her companions followed Dina Zedai through the vendors' stalls and arrived at the "Eight Immortals Table" food section.
The various stalls are ingenious in cooking all kinds of ingredients into delicious dishes: golden pocket cakes, rich Aru bibimbap, sweet date palm honey... the variety is dazzling and mouth-watering.
Paimon's eyes were full of stars, and he covered his mouth in amazement: "Wow! This is too rich! I want to try everything!"
Suddenly, a lively voice rang out: "Sister Ganyu, everything here is vegetarian. Would you like some?"
"Um, okay."
Ying's heart trembled, and she looked in the direction of the sound. Ganyu stood quietly in front of a small stall with vine patterns, beside her was the lively Yuan Xi. Two old friends from Liyue unexpectedly met here.
Ying and Paimon were overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to greet him, their hearts filled with joy at the reunion, but Iya followed behind slowly.
Yuan Xi recognized everyone, waved happily to Ying and Paimon, and then saluted Yiya respectfully.
Gan Yu leaned slightly to the side and nodded gently in greeting. Her tone was normal, but there seemed to be a hint of distance.
Yuan Xi blinked and asked softly, "Sister Ganyu...you seem a little different today?"
[Of course it's different. There's no glitter in your sister Ganyu's eyes! Wake up, Coconut Sheep! You're not that kind of Coconut Sheep!]
Even Ganyu has become like this...
[I've only seen Ganyu's eyes like this in the game.]
【Let me borrow a part from you to talk about this. 】
Is this really a time loop? Why are some details so different? Iya and Ganyu are completely different from the first game... It's so hard to watch.
"Have it?"
Gan Yu's voice was soft, like falling petals. She slowly turned her head, her eyes, once as bright as glass, now devoid of their former brilliance, staring blankly at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi didn't notice the strangeness in her tone. He just stared at her quietly for a moment, then shook his head slightly, a trace of confusion flashing across his brows: "Maybe... it's my illusion."
After a brief silence, the atmosphere became lively again, and the two quickly joined in the conversation with Ying and her group.
From Yuan Xi, Ying and Paimon learned that they were coming here as representatives of Liyue to attend the Flower God's Birthday Festival and offer birthday wishes to the little auspicious grass king.
Ganyu represents Liyue Harbor—as a semi-immortal, and commanded by the Seven Stars, her identity is naturally irreplaceable;
Yuan Xi, on the other hand, has been officially accepted as a disciple by Jun Moli and is now a true "second-generation immortal", so she was able to represent Guili Ji to attend the ceremony.
After hearing this, Ying and Paimeng immediately sent their sincere congratulations to Yuan Xi, their words full of joy and respect.
After some greetings, everyone, led by Dina Zedai, entered the divination area and met Caesar's diligent and intelligent student - Leila.
[There's no glint in Leila's eyes... either?]
[Isn't this phenomenon only effective against immortal species? ]
If that's the case, then we should lose sight of the brilliance in our eyes... After all, our protagonist is a true immortal, with an unknown age, perhaps starting at five hundred years...
After asking Leila to do a simple divination, everyone strolled around the divination area and felt the warm atmosphere of the festival.
Afterwards, led by Dina Zedai, the group came to the stall carefully arranged by the Flower Knight.
It was here that Ying and Paimon were pleasantly surprised to meet two old friends from Inazuma - the bold and unrestrained Aratake Ichito, and the calm and capable Kuki Shinobu.
After a long separation, there was naturally warm greetings and laughter.
From this, Ying and Paimon learned that the two of them came on behalf of Inazuma to celebrate the birthday of the Little Auspicious Grass King in Xumi.
After calming down, everyone followed the tradition of the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival and chose Yalda candies from the Flower Knight's stall.
This candy comes in more than a dozen unique flavors, and the taste is determined by luck.
Paimon stared at the dazzling array of candies, wanting only to taste the sweetest one.
So, an idea struck him, and he suggested that Iya, the luckiest among them, draw for her.
But the result is...
"I'm so sorry, the candy in candy jar number 13 contains spice fruit flavored candy." The stall owner who played the Flower Knight bowed slightly, a hint of apology appeared on his face, and he smiled gently at Iya.
Paimon's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly rose:
"Huh? Really? Impossible! Boss, you don't even have a single sunset nut flavored candy here, right?"
The stall owner frowned slightly, a moment of displeasure flashing across his face, but he quickly suppressed his emotion and maintained his professional patience and politeness.
"That's impossible. Our Flower God Birthday Festival has always been based on integrity and there will never be any false advertising."
"Sunsetberry-flavored candy—it exists!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already reached out to lift the lid of candy jar number four, and swiftly took out a crystal clear, amber-colored sunset fruit-flavored candy from it, holding it in his palm to gesture.
"Actually... it really exists?"
Paimon turned to look at Iya, his eyes full of incredible shock, as if he had witnessed a miraculous reversal.
Ying was also stunned, her eyes flickering, and she murmured:
"Iga's good fortune... would be ruined by this little candy-picking event? This is unbelievable..."
Not far away, Aratake Ichito, who had just won a candy flavored with a mitten beetle, scratched his head and sighed:
"Even Little Phoenix failed at this event and wasn't able to pick the flavor she liked... It seems like this game of luck isn't something you can just sweep with your luck."
"A-nin," he turned to the Kuki-nin beside him, his tone serious for once, "It seems this activity is more difficult than we expected."
Jiuqi opened her mouth. She wanted to say that under completely random circumstances, the probability of choosing each flavor of candy is the same.
But when her eyes fell on Yiya's figure, she fell silent. She nodded slightly and whispered, "...Indeed."
To outsiders, it was just another holiday game—a minor incident where a child failed to choose their favorite candy flavor, perhaps earning only a few chuckles or a "better luck next time."
However, to those who truly knew Iya, this scene was like a bolt from the blue, as shocking as the news of the death of Emperor Geo in Liyue Harbor.
Yiya, the Phoenix, is born to be in charge of auspiciousness, and her fate contains a fortune that is almost beyond belief.
If the probability of the world is as delicately balanced as a scale, then Iya's luck is the absolute authority that can overturn all rules.
His luck has long gone beyond coincidence, and it is almost like everything he wishes for comes true and everything bows to him.
Because of this, being eliminated at this moment seems particularly strange and shocking.
This is not just a failure, it's more like a crack that tears apart common sense, making people wonder: Is fate no longer favoring us, or are we all in a dream?
Of course, outsiders have no way of knowing the turbulent emotions and doubts.
In this moment of silent shock, the stall owner gently handed the sunset fruit candy to Paimon, his tone gentle and generous:
"After all, it's a holiday, and happiness is the most important thing. Consider this candy as a blessing from us to you."
"...Thank you." Paimon said softly.
Then everyone gathered around Iya to comfort him.
"..."
However, in the face of everyone's comfort, Iya, with a dull look in his eyes, remained silent from beginning to end.
[I was just guessing before... but now I'm almost certain... this is definitely not my sweet and soft little Yiya!]
[Iya's luck is that the anti-counterfeiting label can't be wrong! If it doesn't have it, it's definitely not Iya!]
[What bad luck! This is definitely a fake!]
[There's a 90% chance it's a fake, but if it's a fake... then where is Iya?]
Then everyone said goodbye to Aratake Ichito and Kuki Shinobu, and followed Dinazedai back to the hotel to get their things.
