Chapter 335: Respective Tokens

"During Inazuma's journey, Tianfeng foresaw that the last and most crucial step in his resurrection was to fall on Mount Sumeru, which was related to the World Tree. But this step is difficult. If the purpose is exposed, many qualified forces in Teyvat may come forward to stop it, adding to the obstacles."

"So we didn't delay and went straight to Xumi Omos Port by sea, and split our forces into two groups. Before Paimon and I got off the ship, Tianfeng had already entered Xumi."

"According to our plan, I will be responsible for attracting attention and covering Tian Feng's successful infiltration. We will quickly complete the resurrection plan before anyone notices."

"But apparently, something went wrong with that plan."

Ying opened the refrigerator, took out two cans of drinks, handed one to Ye Lan, opened it with a "pop", tilted her head back and took a sip: "Ha~"

Ye Lan followed her example and opened the can. She glanced at the bubbling reddish-brown liquid inside, hesitated for two seconds, and took a sip.

It's sweet, has a unique taste, and is not difficult to drink.

"what is this?"

"Coke, the favorite of young homebodies."

Ying put down the can of Coke and smiled, "There are a lot of things in the fridge, as well as other snacks. You're welcome. This is my home in this dreamland."

"Well, thank you."

Ye Lan nodded, took another sip, and put it down.

Some were too sweet for her.

Just now, Ying took her into this strange city full of tall buildings on the pretext that "this is not the place to talk", and skillfully stopped a metal four-wheeled vehicle powered by an unknown energy source, and drove them to stop in front of a tall building.

Then I opened the password lock on the door, took the elevator, and arrived at my current residence, which has a very warm layout.

Ye Lan glanced around the living room, lingering on a photo frame for a moment, eyebrows slightly raised and then dropped, turning to look at Ying: "So, Xumi City is now shrouded in dreams?"

"It's not Xumi City, it's Xumi."

Ying shook her head and corrected her statement: "Now the entire Xumi is shrouded by that huge surface dream, and this place is one of the many deep small dreams under the surface dream."

"A deep little dream..."

Ye Lan thought thoughtfully, "Every person who 'wakes up' from a surface dream will randomly enter a deep little dream?"

"That's the theory." Ying nodded and said, "But in reality, unless under very special circumstances, no one can 'wake up' from a surface dream."

She paused and looked at Ye Lan: "So I'm curious, how did you get 'awake'."

"What do you mean? You weren't the one who 'awoke' me?"

Ye Lan frowned slightly.

"I don't have the ability to 'wake up' others." Ying shook her head: "I have tried more than once to 'wake up' Paimon during the brief period of time when I was 'awake' but not in a deep dream, but to no avail."

"Have you tried to 'wake' the others?"

Ye Lan guessed: "Perhaps Paimon cannot be 'awakened' because she is too special - there seems to be no creature similar to Paimon in the entire Teyvat."

Humanoid, intelligent, communicative, and needs to eat... It can be said that, in addition to being able to float and fly, Paimon can be completely regarded as a small human.

And there is only one of them in the entire Teyvat, with no other of the same race.

"I tried, but it didn't work."

Ying shook her head again, but did not deny that Paimon was special.

Ye Lan thought for a moment and asked, "Then how did you first become 'awake'?"

"because this."

Ying pulled up her sleeves, revealing the bracelet on her smooth wrist. The white snake scales reflected the light, which was very beautiful: "This is a gift from Tianfeng. The dream is repeated over and over again, and before the cycle begins or ends, it will lead me back to my true and sober self." Is she showing off? She must be, right?
Ye Lan complained in her heart, looking at the bracelet, her heart moved slightly. If the gift given by Tian Feng can make people wake up in dreams, then can the one in her hand also be the same?
She subconsciously reached towards her waist, but found nothing, and was speechless.

That’s right, in this strange dream, there is not even elemental power, so how could the space bag be allowed to survive?

Ye Lan withdrew his hand, and once again glanced at the photo frame on the table, then turned to Ying, and his eyes flickered as he thought of the contents of the letter: "I have a question."

"You said."

“Whose dream is this?”

If it is a dream, then there must be one or more dreamers.

"Tian Feng."

Ying took a deep breath and said, "Whether it's a surface dream, a deep dream, or a core dream whose existence is unknown, these dreams are Tian Feng's dreams."

Ye Lan was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. Then a light bulb suddenly lit up in her mind and she said in astonishment, "So, it wasn't the Xumi Grass God who wove the dream to stop Tian Feng, but Tian Feng who wove the dream to trap the Xumi Grass God?"

"Yes."

Ying nodded, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the busy traffic below, and said softly: "This is Tianfeng's dream, his hometown... It's him who trapped himself."

Perhaps the Xumi Grass God did have the idea of ​​stopping Chen Tianfeng at the beginning, but now, the god is struggling to survive in the giant snake's dream, waiting for an opportunity.

"Incredible."

Ye Lan exhaled and glanced at the photo frame again, with a strange expression: "Since this is Tian Feng's dream and his hometown, how do you know for sure that this is your home?"

"I have the key to this place and I know the address."

Ying turned around with a puzzled look in her eyes, not understanding why she was asking this, and patiently explained: "And when I first 'awoke', I already had these memories in my mind."

"Then, is it possible that you remembered it wrongly?"

Ye Lan reached out and picked up the photo frame, turned it towards Ying, and said seriously: "Look, this photo is clearly a photo of Tian Feng and I... In other words, this is my home."

The photo seems to have been taken somewhere by a lake. A young man and woman are standing together, smiling towards the camera, looking very close.

"What photo... When did this photo appear?!"

Ying widened her eyes, took two steps forward, picked up the photo frame, and looked at the photo, with an expression that said she was determined to find any traces of false synthesis.

Obviously there has never been one before! And the photo is so intimate!

Fake! It must be fake!

Ying muttered to herself, and suddenly found something strange. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she compared the photo frame with Ye Lan: "The person in this photo..."

“He looks a lot younger.”

Ye Lan guessed what she was going to say, smiled slightly, and said: "It's just like in this dream, Tian Feng and I are childhood sweethearts and each other's first love."

fluorescent:"……"

“And the bag I’m carrying in the photo is also here.”

Ye Lan came to the entrance and took off the white shoulder bag with an inexplicable pattern. The heavy weight made her raise her eyebrows. She opened the bag and saw the gift from Tian Feng - two submachine guns.

"I see……"

Ye Lan picked up the submachine gun, and a little more information came into her mind. Then she looked at the angry Ying and said with a smile: "Let's go. Find Tian Feng in your dreams before the next cycle comes."
