In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

So he quickly dodged.

But I was still a little too slow, and my arm got grazed.

A sharp pain, as if struck by a boulder, suddenly struck.

How outrageous.

She could sense that the shadowy figure now was not even ten times stronger than the one from during the day, yet it had almost rendered her unable to fight.

If no solution can be found, then all that's left is to shout that phrase.

Chiori gritted her teeth, her brain working at lightning speed. Suddenly, she thought of something and dashed toward the clock.

There's definitely something wrong with this thing; she has a pretty good sense of time.

Meanwhile, Xu Guang watched with great interest in the monitoring room.

What is the first step in the strategy?

It's about getting the other person to subconsciously follow the rules of the game he sets.

Even if it's resistance, it must be within the scope he has defined.

Chapter 449: Half a Boot

As Xu Guang watched Chiori rush towards the opening he had deliberately left in the scene, a smile crept onto his lips.

He had already made it very clear that if the other party couldn't even notice this, then they truly deserved to be filled with cream.

However, I really hope they can hold on for a few more days, or even longer.

Otherwise he would be disappointed.

For some reason, Xu Guang suddenly felt like he was a brainless villain in some anime series.

But only for a moment.

He was confident that Chiori would have no chance of escaping his grasp. Rather than worrying about that, he would rather consider what to design next to make her submit.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory.

Despite the excruciating pain, Chiori rushed toward the clock.

She figured something out.

If the problem wasn't with the note, then it could only be time.

She had been observing ever since she entered the room.

Although it wasn't exactly dirty or messy, it was still shabby.

The only furniture consisted of an old chair and bed, and a few sets of black bedding.

In that case, the existence of that clock seems extremely abrupt.

While there's certainly a reason to remind students to maintain a regular schedule, she didn't believe the school would be so kind.

So she rushed over at the fastest speed she had ever been and grabbed the clock in her arms.

Succeeded?

Before Chiori could even feel happy, she looked at the back of the clock and, sure enough, there was something to adjust the time.

Just as she was about to make a move, the monster turned around and walked towards her, muttering something under its breath.

"Violating school rules... deserves punishment... deserves punishment!!"

As the monster spoke, long, black tentacles rushed towards it.

Damn.

Chiori had no choice but to find a way to dodge the attack first, otherwise everything would be in vain.

Having narrowly escaped death once again, Chiori exhaled a breath of stale air.

Although it didn't injure anyone, a large section of the clothes dissolved instantly when the tentacle touched them.

However, she won!

Chiori placed her hand on the clock's knob to set the time and turned it forward.

Let's rewind to before 11 o'clock.

The monster's outstretched tentacles froze in mid-air, as if it were completely stunned.

It then turned into wisps of black mist and dissipated.

has it ended?

Chiori collapsed to the ground, her face showing exhaustion. Just as she was about to rest, she heard a noise outside the door.

Click.

Hisaki Shinobu walked in, a look of surprise on his face.

Chiori looked at the other person, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

Hisaki Shinobu truthfully said, "Let me see if you need help collecting your body."

Chiori's expression wasn't good. She looked at the other person's calm face and bit her lip.

"You...forget it."

She understood that the other party couldn't help her unconditionally forever, especially since they had already saved her once before.

But it's normal to be annoyed.

After all, if possible, who wouldn't want someone to fall from the sky and save them?

You should know that she almost lost her life just now.

The moment Hisagi Shinobu uttered the words "absolute dream," Chiori roughly guessed what it meant.

If I were to die here, I would likely lose my life in the real world as well.

It's truly cruel and despairing.

"However, what I didn't expect was that you actually survived."

Hisagi Shinobu said calmly.

Chiori hummed in agreement.

Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Hisagi shrugged.

"Don't feel wronged or anything. If you can't even handle this level, I don't need to waste my energy on you. You should know that here, death and despair are the most common things. Cowards and incompetents will only become nourishment."

Chiori sighed, "I understand."

No wonder the other person refused to share a dorm room with her. Although that would ensure her safety, it would require the other person to expend more effort.

Putting herself in her shoes, she definitely wouldn't want to have a child to take care of.

"Get some rest. You have class tomorrow, so remember not to be late. That's one of the rules."

Chiori nodded upon hearing what the other person said.

However, once she calmed down, she discovered more subtle details.

For example, the other person may have changed from open-toed shoes to boots at some point, and their walking posture may also be a bit off.

Even stranger, she smelled a strange odor and heard creaking sounds.

Is it because the other side also encountered some problems?

Seeing that Hisaki Shinobu was about to leave, Chiori quickly spoke up.

"Wait a moment."

Hisaki Shinobu turned around, showing no impatience, and simply asked calmly.

"what happened?"

Chiori coughed, pointed to her body, and then asked, "Clothes..."

Hisagi Shinobu suddenly realized, looking at Chiori, who had become a battle-damaged version because of Xu Guang's perverse sense of humor.

Don't say it.

It's pretty smug.

Because the parts that cannot be seen are vaguely visible, and the parts that can be seen are revealed just right.

In many cases, revealing the whole picture is not as good as partially concealing it.

It's like how people often focus on strange things; they like to look at clothes with less clothing, but they don't like to look at clothes that aren't there at all.

Moreover, this method is far too professional; it's estimated that only someone like Chiori, who has never crossed into that world, wouldn't have noticed something was wrong.

Hisaki glanced at the wardrobe: "There are 'school uniforms' in there. You can consider changing into them, but my advice is that you should avoid it unless absolutely necessary."

After that she left.

Chiori looked at herself and gave a wry smile.

Isn't this just a last resort?

In her current state, saying she's accidentally exposing herself is an understatement; she even suspects that if a gust of wind blows, her furry body will be exposed.

That monster is truly awful.

But she started to get curious.

Is there something wrong with the clothes?

Why do we say that we should only do this as a last resort?

Chiori opened the cabinet, looked at the few thin pieces of fabric inside, and fell into thought.

As for Kuki Shinobu outside, the first thing he did after closing the door was to take off his boots.

Chiori's feeling was correct.

There was definitely something wrong with her shoes.

because……

Hisaki Shinobu pulled his foot out, and at the same time, drops of viscous liquid slid down.

The originally pink fingertips were stained with an unwanted color due to the turbidity, and with the slightest movement, some fine threads could be seen between the fingers.

Because the liquid mixed with the toes for a long time, it left many marks on the skin.

"This guy……"

Hisagi Shinobu felt somewhat helpless.

She felt that the other party was really taking advantage of their large size to do whatever they wanted.

Almost half a boot.

I wonder if anyone knows what it feels like when your shoes get wet in the rain.

Even though it's only a little bit, it can make your entire sole feel cold and damp.

However, there is a slight difference in the case of Shinobu Hisaki.

Because it is warm.

Moreover, these boots are excellent at both keeping warm and waterproofing, meaning they not only keep you warm but also prevent leaks.

She felt like she was being marinated.

Chapter 450: The Way of Survival

Setting the boots aside, Hisahi Shinobu felt a slight coolness from the breeze blowing across his toes.

She could have approached Chiori in a more respectable way to arrange her performance.

It's a pity that Xu Guang suddenly had this idea and insisted on doing this.

There was nothing she could do.

When you're with someone, the biggest worry is that they might suddenly have a brilliant idea, which is bound to be something good.

This time was alright; it just meant my feet were soaking in the water with some small creatures.

But what should she do now?
