Chapter 309 Artificial Meteor Shower
Late at night, the moon is bright in the sky, the stars have retreated, and most people have already gone to bed and fallen asleep.
In Xumi City, on the rooftop of a hotel, Guo Beng sat there, supporting his chin with both hands, looking at the bright moon, as if trying to see Inazuma's reaction from it.
"Aren't you going to rest yet?" Mo Ran jumped onto the roof and stood beside his eldest nephew.
“Uncle!” Guo Beng stood up quickly, scratched his head, and said with a silly smile: “I couldn’t sleep, so I came out to take a look.”
"Do you want to go home?" Mo Ran also looked at the bright moon. He used to miss the home that was becoming increasingly vague in his heart in this way, the home in a free country.
"Yes, I've been out for so long, I'm worried that my mother will do something again. Tomorrow morning, I want to go back to Inazuma. Is that okay, uncle?"
"Of course, that's your home. You can go back whenever you want. You don't need to have any other burdens. It's okay."
"I know, uncle, you don't have to keep saying this." Guo Beng waved his hand, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, as clear as a stream.
Mo Ran nodded slightly, turned his wrist, and the Heart of Thundergod appeared in his hand. Seeing that his nephew was emotionally unstable, he put it away.
"This Heart of God was given to you by Ying. Now I am returning it to its original owner. You can take it back to Inazuma with you."
"Uncle, don't you keep it for yourself? The journey ahead is long, and if you can't win with your own fists, you'll have someone to take care of you."
"No, I have one myself, and it's not of much use right now."
"Okay then." Guo Beng put away the Heart of Thundergod, and the powerful elemental force around him dissipated in an instant, returning to calm.
The two looked at the bright moon again. After a long silence, Guo Beng spoke this time: "Uncle, is the power of the World Tree very strong?"
"If it's about carrying memories and knowledge, then it's indeed very powerful, but this tree cannot be used for combat." Mo Ran folded his sleeves and said slowly.
"If we change the memory, will the things that happened in history also change?"
"No, if a person is deleted, then no living being on the continent of Teyvat will remember him, but what happened will not change. The dead cannot be resurrected, and no new things will happen."
"So, doing this is tantamount to escaping, right?"
"Indeed." Mo Ran nodded. He knew what his nephew was thinking. However, it was meaningless to use the World Tree to delete everything about him.
"I see." Guo Beng lowered his head slightly, sighed, and then said, "I'm going to rest. Uncle, don't stay up too late."
"Go."
……
The next day, at the Port of Omos south of the Xumi Rainforest, Mo Ran watched his eldest nephew leave, turned around and prepared to go back, but saw the blond boy was also at the dock.
Beside the young man, the white floating spirit also spotted a man in black and waved, “Mo Ran, are you here to pick up Ying and Xiao Gong as well?”
"He's here to pick up the stragglers," Sora explained helplessly, listening to his own traveling companion's speech.
Paimon nodded and said, "Oh, no wonder I didn't see him. It turns out he left."
Mo Ran walked a little closer and asked, "So you guys got to Xumi first, and Ying fell behind?"
Kong explained, "Ying said that he wanted to persuade Xiao Gong to come to Xumi, so he stayed there. According to the three-day boat trip, he will arrive today."
As they were talking, a large ship came into the shore, and the yellow-haired girl pulled the orange-clothed girl off the ship, skipping and jumping.
"Your Highness, you are really full of energy!" Mo Ran said with a teasing smile.
Upon hearing this, Ying immediately put her hands on her hips and grinned, "You call me that, do you want to be my guard knight again?"
"It's not yours, it belongs to the organization. I only belong to the organization I joined, and it does not belong to Your Highness alone. Please make it clear." Mo Ran clasped his hands and closed his eyes slightly.
After the two of them had such a fuss, Xiao Gong, who was confused, felt as if the world had changed. How could these two people become like this just by changing places?
"Xiao Gong, don't worry about them. This is the identity of the previous game. It's just that they couldn't decide the winner in the end. They kind of... don't want to ruin the show." Kong explained, trying to smooth things over.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Children sometimes play role-playing games." Xiao Gong had no doubts. After all, there was nothing to doubt.
Paimon pulled her arm and said, "Don't worry about Mo Ran and Ying, let's go first. We must have fun in Xumi this time!"
"Thank you Paimon." Xiao Gong glanced at the white floating object and left with it.
The blond boy looked back and found that his sister and good friend were gone. He then looked at the grand team and realized that he was the one who was left behind and forgotten.
"Wait for me!" Kong ran over like the wind and joined a few people.
Mo Ran looked at the skillful blond boy and couldn't help but say, "Three ladies, if you want to buy something or help with the transportation, here is a good choice. I found it myself!"
Kong let out a cry, but before he could react, his sister pulled him with one hand and Xiao Gong with the other, and ran to a stall, starting her journey of taking everything with a wave of her hand.
Behind them, Paimeng said with inexplicable distress: "One hundred thousand Mora, this can only be compensated by selling Ningguang ten kilograms of salt. Ying really has no self-control!"
Mo Ran's eyelids jumped. That little girl actually raised the price of salt so high. Should she say that she is worthy of being Tianquan Star?
But if you think about it carefully, this is not right. Liyue has a clear regulation that the price of salt cannot exceed four thousand Mora per catty, and Ningguang is unlikely to be corrupt, so this should be a friendship price.
"Xiao Gong, look at that Lanna Luo, he looks like you!" Ying pointed at an orange cheerful wooden sculpture. Just looking at the temperament, there is indeed some resemblance between them.
"Really?" Xiao Gong smiled, turned around and looked at the white floating object, and said in a muffled voice: "Hello, Nala Paimon, I am Lan Xiao Gong, beep beep~."
"Wow, Xiao Gong has learned it." Paimon touched his forehead and felt like he was sweating.
Kong suddenly said, "The hotel has been booked. It's in Port Omos. Go put your luggage away first, and then we can go play."
"Okay, thank you, brother!" Ying hung all the things they brought, no matter how big or small, directly on the blond boy.
Paimon, who always stood on the side of the blond boy, gloated: "Hey, whoever proposed it should take action. Kong is really asking for trouble!"
"Paimon, don't even think about running away. Come with me to the inn and put your things away." Sora grabbed one of his travel companion's legs and pulled him back to the inn.
Standing there, Mo Ran looked at the two roads in front of him. One was to go to the hotel to put his things, and the other was to accompany two beautiful girls shopping, but it seemed that neither road had much to do with him.
For this reason, he couldn't help but ask quietly, "I'm not saying that you two brothers and sisters did this on purpose, right? Do you have to leave one person behind?"
Unfortunately, no one answered. The man in black didn't care and walked towards the direction where the two girls were shopping. Packing luggage was none of his business.
However, although he looked like he was accompanying others, in fact he was always about ten steps away. This way he could avoid trouble and block some people's sight, killing two birds with one stone.
But things in the world are sometimes so strange. Mo Ran's behavior was mistaken for a stalker by a white-haired boy passing by, and he was about to be arrested.
It was only because Ying and Xiaogong hurriedly explained that the man in black was saved from a huge financial disaster. He didn't know how much Mora he would have to pay for destroying the Xumi detention center.
After explaining, the young man put down the spear in his hand and said, "I hope I'm not going to commit a crime. I'm sorry for misunderstanding you just now."
It sounded like an apology, but it was hard to connect them with the face that showed almost no change in expression.
The blond boy and the white floating spirit who had rushed over were shocked when they saw the chaos and quickly quickened their pace. They were probably afraid that if they were too late, their friend Xumi would get beaten up.
"Seno, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, they are all friends of mine and Kong!" Paimon floated in front of the young man and explained hurriedly.
Senor nodded slightly and said, "I see. It's nothing to do. Since you are my friend, I'd better get to know you."
Kong wiped his sweat off his forehead and introduced them: "This is my sister Ying, this is Xiao Gong, she just came from Inazuma today, and there is Mo Ran... She is also a traveler like me."
"Mo Ran?" Senuo looked thoughtful, looking at the silent man in black, and said, "No wonder you don't like to talk. It turns out that it's because of 'Mo Ran'!"
Silence, and another round of silence. Not only Mo Ran, who was called by his real name, was silent, but also the people around him were silent.
The little episode passed quickly, and while Xiao Gong was away, the few of them learned the reason for this journey.
Paimon murmured to himself, "So you want to see shooting stars. I didn't expect Ying to be able to find a way!"
"Of course, this journey will be a complete success!" There was longing in her eyes. She used to love watching the shooting stars in the sky. At that time, she was still an ignorant girl, a real girl.
"Although I don't really want to attack you, there have been no meteors passing through any place in Teyvat in recent years." Mo Ran sensed it slightly and said softly.
Ying looked at the man in black clothes, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Aren't you still here? Powerful knight, please help me!"
"I can't make a meteor, do you want a sky star?" Mo Ran spread his hands. Anyway, it looked similar from a distance.
"That's settled then!" Ying made the decision, and everyone decided on a time at night. Yu Kong would take Xiao Gong to the agreed place to watch this artificial meteor shower.
……
At night, Xiao Gong was coaxed by the blond boy to a place where huge mushrooms grew.
A figure in black standing in the sky, after seeing the signal, activated the elemental power in his body, and thousands of small stars condensed and streaked across the sky, looking like a dream, magnificent and magnificent.
It's just a pity for Mo Ran, who is in control of all this. He has to disperse the stars before they fall to the ground to avoid causing damage to the terrain, and then replenish the number to create a feeling of endlessness.
On the huge mushroom, Kong pulled Xiao Gong and jumped down. Amid the strong wind, the boy spread his wings of wind and hugged the girl tightly, gliding in the air.
Not far from them, Mo Ran, who was gathering stars in the sky while leading a yellow-haired girl with wings on his back, was also joining in the fun.
Ying raised her head and asked, "Can't you hold me like your brother holds Xiao Gong?"
Now, only her two arms were lifted up, and her whole body was suspended in the air. Although she was not afraid, this posture was too tiring.
Mo Ran said decisively: "No, this is my wife's position, don't even think about it!"
She gave him a white look and chuckled twice.
They were playing in the sky, and little Paimon was not idle either. He was picking up pieces of meat on the ground, cleaning up the picnic and enjoying his meal very much.
This artificial meteor shower came to an end in such an atmosphere...
