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

The woman was looking at the dissipating clouds in the sky, somewhat dazed.

The light on her chest seemed to take her back to a very, very long time ago.

At that time, she lost her lover because of the invasion of the abyss, and she also hated the dark monsters of the abyss. She lost all attachment to the world, and her only wish was to burn away all the monsters in the world.

So she abandoned her girlish past, transformed into a witch whom historians did not wish to record, and embarked on a path of revenge.

Someone has to burn away all the pain to bring new hope, she thought, without needing to understand.

They need no comfort, nor any sympathy.

Thus, the Flame Witch was born, and she used her terrifying flames to burn away all the ugliness in the world.

Although the world knows that she only kills monsters, no one likes this guy.

She's crazy.

No one knows when she will completely lose her mind and start attacking others indiscriminately.

So wherever the lady walked, every house closed its doors.

The woman didn't care about any of that; her heart was dead, and the only reason she lived was to destroy those monsters.

boom--

The flames reignited, meaning more monsters had died, but this endless battle was not without its cost.

The woman's face showed increasing signs of fatigue.

The flames are the fire that annihilates monsters, and also the fire of her life.

She will die when her life is extinguished; this is a decision she made long ago. On the path of bringing hope to people, she needs neither understanding nor anyone's sympathy.

Walking through the deserted forest, Rosalyn huddled in a cave, shivering from the cold.

It's hard to imagine that a witch who wields the power of fire would feel cold.

But it is what it is.

She is tired.

Because no shopkeeper was willing to take her in, she had no choice but to hide in a cave.

It was dirty and damp, but it was the only place where she wouldn't be looked at with prejudice.

This place is nice too.

Rosalind thought to herself.

But what will happen to her body after she dies?

Was it eaten by wild dogs?

Or will it rot away with maggots?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Rosalie rested her head on her knees, biting her lip, tears welling up but disappearing as soon as they appeared.

She might... perhaps... not like dying like that.

Because she used to love beauty, when she was studying at the Order Academy, she was proud and charming, and the men who pursued her could line up from her classroom to the gate of the Order Academy.

At that time, she was still thinking that she should sleep peacefully surrounded by flowers, with sighs and regrets all around her.

But if you ask whether you'll regret it...

will not.

The woman closed her eyes, awaiting her fate of death.

Is someone patting her on the shoulder?

Is someone putting a blanket on her?

She looked up, her eyes wide, and saw a yawning figure sitting cross-legged beside her, looking somewhat helpless.

"Even if I pretend to be an abandoned puppy, I won't soften my heart. You know I have very important things to do."

Xu Guang was referring to the "fine-tuning traveler".

The plan was already underway, and he didn't want to interrupt it, but the lady was really difficult to deal with, and she was also his partner.

Let's try a little time-travel rescue then.

Anyway, it won't take long. If he remembers correctly, the Fools will appear soon.

It will only last for a short while.

Rosalyn looked at Xu Guang, staggered to her feet, and said fiercely, "Who are you? Believe me or not, I'll kill you!"

Xu Guang waved his hand: "Come on, your legs are starting to tremble, and have you really killed even one person along the way?"

After being exposed, Rosalyn gritted her teeth but still pretended to have plenty of energy.

"Then you're mistaken. I've killed people, lots and lots of people!"

Xu Guang glanced at the other party and raised an eyebrow slightly: "That's not wrong. If you wanted to, you could easily kill hundreds of millions of lives. It's really terrifying."

The woman didn't understand what he meant, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to process it with her current mindset.

Seeing the other person trembling like a puppy, Xu Guang reached out and conjured a steaming cup of milk tea.

Science shows that when people are feeling down, eating something sweet can significantly improve their mood.

Xu Guang coaxed her.

"Drink up, you're already like this, don't force yourself, I have to leave later."

The woman's wariness remained unchanged as she gritted her teeth and stared intently at the other person.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose?"

Xu Guang was too lazy to explain. Since the other party was really unwilling to listen, he wouldn't be polite either.

He stood up abruptly, grabbed the other person's hands, and poured the milk tea down their throat.

Rosalyn's broken face showed struggle, but it was quickly replaced by the sweet smell.

She hadn't eaten such ordinary food in a long time, and for a moment she was stunned.

After chugging her drink for a while, she collapsed to the ground, wiping the water droplets from the corner of her mouth, her words still sharp and sarcastic.

"I don't know what your purpose is, but you'll definitely be disappointed, because I'm about to die and my face will be ruined."

Power comes at a price; the ever-burning flames can devour monsters, but they can also scorch her face.

Xu Guang rolled his eyes at her: "Who cares about that? Besides, you're not bad looking now."

be honest.

Even though the woman's face was disfigured, her former charm was still evident in what remained of her face.

Not the kind he hates.

The woman sneered: "Liar."

No one would like her like that; even her former classmates would avoid her after seeing her like that.

How could anyone find her beautiful, so ugly and crazy?

how?

Did you pity her because you saw she was about to die?

Xu Guang glanced at her, stepped forward, and pinched her mouth: "No, who are you talking to? If you're not going to drink it, then spit it out. What's wrong with you?"

He meant well this time, knowing the other person was afraid of being alone, and came to keep them company, but he didn't expect them to be so ungrateful.

He doesn't have many moments when he looks this human.

Rosalyn was stunned by the other party's reaction, and then her competitive spirit kicked in.

Okay, you want me to throw up, huh? Then I'll throw up!

Chapter 308: I Feel Sorry for You

Xu Guang rolled his eyes at Rosalyn, who was still arguing seriously.

Well, what a stubborn mule.

If it were any other character, it wouldn't matter; minor adjustments could be made. Even the worst temper could be turned into a docile pet.

But Rosalyn is another story; to be honest, he felt she was quite pitiful.

He lost the person he loved and resolved to eliminate evil, burning his own life force little by little. In the end, no one understood him, and his story was not recorded in official history. He followed his beliefs from beginning to end, but in the end, he became arrogant and was struck down by Thor.

Okay, the last point might indeed be her problem.

But you can't deny her determination.

Xu Guang admired this kind of person very much. He was the kind of person who was like the City of Light. If he had had someone like this to help him back then, he probably would have had a much easier time.

Pity.

God just doesn't like him.

Rosalyn lay down beside him, spitting out what she had just drunk. She was about to look at him with disdain when she realized that he wasn't paying any attention to her at all, but was staring blankly into the distance.

"What? Do you think I look disgusting right now?"

Rosalyn said viciously.

Xu Guang said without turning his head, "You're pretty brain-dead. If I had known you were like this, I shouldn't have come. If I really wanted to kill you, do you think you'd still be able to talk now?"

Rosalyn laughed in exasperation at those words.

Yes, she was very weak, but not everyone could bully her, especially not this arrogant man in front of her.

Just as she was about to retort, the other person stood up and looked at her expressionlessly.

"I specifically chose this time to come, not to listen to you yelling like this. If you keep doing this, I don't mind taking in another character, understand?"

Seriously, it's rare for him to act like a human being, and the other person ends up doing this to him?

I should have gone and tried something new with the traveler; I haven't even used his octopus tentacle prop yet.

Startled by that tone, Rosalyn composed herself, looking somewhat aggrieved.

She's worked hard all these years, even if she hasn't achieved anything great. She's about to die, and in her final moments, she's being bullied like this.

Is this reasonable?

Rosalyn was secretly grieving, but Xu Guang was thinking about something else.

At the time, he had just met Thor and didn't know that he could have such a profound impact on the real world, which is why he made a deal with him.

Later, things changed so quickly that he almost forgot about it, but unexpectedly Ying still remembered.

Given his current abilities, his fear isn't that he can't change the plot, but rather that he doesn't know how to bring this bizarre plot back on track.

The lady, on the other hand, didn't care. Even if he died, he could cosplay as a necromancer and bring him back to life.

The only problem is that if the barriers become the same as before, people still can't freely enter the real world.

If you have the chance, try to have a deeper conversation with Ying; he's been putting off making sisterly rice bowls for a long time.

By the time he came to his senses, Rosalyn beside him was already in tears.

When someone is nearing death, this state is understandable.

Xu Guang was a little annoyed by the crying.

He turned around and said helplessly, "I was being mean, so stop crying now."

Rosalyn raised her face, her eyes red and swollen: "Who cried? I didn't! I'm the Flame Witch!"

This was a derogatory term used by others to refer to her.

However, she accepted it gladly.

There's nothing wrong with it; it avoids a lot of trouble.

But in Xu Guang's eyes, this was just a little girl throwing a tantrum.

Still the arrogant type.

Please, golden retrievers have already become outdated, let alone a purebred golden retriever like you.
