Chapter 352

"Indeed."

Hearing Keqing's words, Yelan nodded, then turned to look at Lin Mo: "I'll have to trouble you, Lin Mo."

"It's nothing."

Lin Mo shook his head gently: "We can just head straight to Wangshu Inn now."

As he spoke, the three of them walked out of the city gates of Liyue.

With a wave of Lin Mo's hand, two swords whistled through the air.

"I'll just follow your lead," Keqing said softly, standing right beside him without changing her expression.

"Very well."

Lin Mo nodded gently, responding to Keqing.

He remembered that Yelan had once attempted sword flight; that was the experience of her standing alone on a sword when they returned from the Chasm.

Yelan nodded in agreement, clearly having no objections to experiencing flight once more.

Now, possessing the power of the Path of the Hunt, Lin Mo could easily keep Yelan as steady as a mountain upon the blade.

He channeled this power to form an aura around Yelan, with the sword as the core, ensuring she stood safely and firmly.

Then, the two of them transformed into streaks of light, piercing the horizon.

Lin Mo used his telekinetic sword art to carry Yelan and Keqing as they flew toward Wangshu Inn.

Keqing gripped Lin Mo tightly in nervousness; at first, she only rested her hands on his shoulders, but soon she changed to holding him firmly.

Lin Mo was left between laughter and tears, about to suggest that Keqing relax a little, but realized his range of motion was restricted—any movement of his hands would inadvertently brush against Keqing's black silk stockings.

Although Keqing's ears were tinged with a faint red glow, she still pressed boldly against Lin Mo's side.

Time passed quickly as the two streaks of light sped forward.

Before long, they landed outside Wangshu Inn.

Outside the inn, Millelith soldiers were standing guard.

When the guards saw the two streaks of light land, revealing Lin Mo, Keqing, and Yelan, their eyes widened in shock.

How could people fall from the sky?

And it looked just like sword flight.

But the next second, upon seeing Keqing, their expressions turned solemn, and they hurried forward to greet her respectfully: "Lady Keqing."

As Millelith soldiers of Liyue, they knew Keqing all too well; they hadn't expected the Lady herself to come.

"I have come for the meteorite behind Wangshu Inn. What is the situation here? Tell me," Keqing said, brushing back a lock of her hair, her face slightly flushed as she adjusted herself, getting straight to the point. "How are those who fell unconscious? Why haven't they been sent to Liyue Harbor?"

"Because this stone causes ordinary people to fall into a deep sleep upon approaching it, we immediately issued an order prohibiting adventurers and civilians from contacting it or gathering around," the soldier replied hurriedly. "As for those who fell unconscious, they still haven't woken up, but we summoned physicians who discovered they are merely in a deep slumber. The reason they weren't sent to Liyue Harbor is simply because of the distance."

"What are the symptoms?" Lin Mo pondered. "Have they said anything in their sleep?"

"Yes, yes, they have," the soldier replied quickly. "Those who are unconscious all talk in their sleep, saying things like they can't walk anymore, or that they need to rest for a while. The physicians believe something is luring these unconscious people in their dreams."

As he spoke, the soldier led Lin Mo and the others to a tent.

Inside, several people lay unconscious, most of them Millelith soldiers.

"Can't walk anymore... let me rest for a while."

"Just a rest... can you let me go back to work first?"

"It's so cold... I don't want to be on the mountain, can you let me go back? I still have work to finish."

At this moment, the unconscious soldiers were murmuring one after another, lost in their stupor.

"Our Visions are flickering."

Watching the murmuring soldiers, Yelan noticed her Vision flickering and frowned: "This means there is elemental energy capable of affecting Visions on these unconscious people."

"Mine is flickering too."

Hearing Yelan, Keqing looked down and saw her own Electro Vision flickering. She paused, pondering: "This means that since they came into contact with the meteorite, they have elemental energy attached to them, and this energy comes from the meteorite."

"That is truly strange. Why didn't our Visions flicker when we approached it last night?"

"Therefore, once the elemental energy within them is cleared, this anomaly will dissipate," Lin Mo analyzed calmly. "Using the power of your Visions, you should be able to do this easily. Without the interference of the elemental energy, they should wake up naturally."

"Let's give it a try."

Keqing and Yelan acted immediately.

They channeled the power of their Visions, carefully stripping away the residual elemental energy from each person.

As the last wisp of elemental energy vanished, the crowd that had been murmuring in their sleep suddenly fell silent, their breathing becoming even and steady.

"It really worked."

Seeing this, a flash of surprise crossed Keqing's eyes. She turned to look at Lin Mo, her gaze filled with admiration.

Lin Mo always had a solution, leaving others impressed.

Suddenly, a cry broke the silence of the night. Someone sat up abruptly, clutching their body: "It's so cold... so cold."

He looked around, gradually realizing this was reality, and let out a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it was just a nightmare."

"Someone woke up so quickly."

Keqing looked surprised and asked curiously: "Can you tell us what you dreamed about just now?"

"Lady Yuheng?!"

The man who had risen heard this, turned around immediately, and upon seeing Keqing, hurried to stand and greet her respectfully: "I dreamed I was walking on a mountain path, walking on a snowy mountain... it was so cold, so cold."

"In the dream, I didn't seem to be in control of myself, and I had no destination."

As he spoke, the man frowned, recalling: "That was roughly the feeling."

As he spoke, the others began to wake up one after another.

After they woke, Keqing questioned them, only to find that everyone had had almost the exact same dream.

"Regardless, we have now mastered the method to clear the influence of this meteorite," Keqing said as she walked out. "I will have the Millelith here notify everyone immediately, and we shall inform the others as well."

"Lady Yuheng?!"

The person who got up heard this and turned around immediately. When he saw Keqing, he stood up respectfully and greeted her, saying quickly: "I dreamed that I was walking on mountain roads, walking on snowy mountains, so cold, so cold."

"In the dream, I didn't seem to be in control of myself, and I had no purpose."

Saying this, the person frowned, recalling: "My general feeling was like this."

When this person spoke, the others soon woke up one after another.

After waking up, they were questioned by Keqing one by one, and it was discovered that the dreams everyone had were almost the same.

"Regardless, now we have mastered the method of clearing the influence of this meteorite."

Keqing walked out and said: "I will have the Millelith soldiers here notify everyone immediately, and also notify others."
