The Wind of Another World

"Recently, a vicious murder case occurred in our city. The police have apprehended the suspect, Yang, who was the sales manager of our city's Shouhe Group. Yang has fully confessed to the crime."

"It is reported that the breakthrough in this case came from clues obtained through special means by a mysterious expert. The case is still under further investigation..."

As the days passed, the incident caused quite a stir, but Guo City was not large enough for it to become a major uproar. A few days later, no one paid attention to it anymore.

Lin Yiyi scrolled through the social media apps used by little Youyu and Jiang Yehua. The two of them had already followed him back. Both had posted articles expressing their personal opinions on the case.

Neither post contained much negativity. Instead, they both went out of their way to praise Guo City's relevant authorities for their competence and their astonishingly fast arrest. As major bloggers with countless followers, they naturally knew exactly what they should and should not say.

As for that mysterious expert? Naturally, neither of them mentioned him in their articles.

"Little one, it's time for us to go back."

Lin Yiyi lay on the hotel bed and looked at Yae Miko. She said to him, "If we don't go back soon, Inazuma will fall into chaos."

Ei nodded. "Though the Shogun can naturally handle such matters with ease, I'm still worried that something unexpected might happen."

"Thank you for inviting us, Traveler. We'll meet again next time, won't we?"

Lin Yiyi nodded, then opened the Teyvat app and tapped the Return button on Yae Miko's panel.

A spatial rift crossing dimensions appeared once more. Beyond it lay Grand Narukami Shrine—the place where he had first met them.

"Little one, make sure to invite us again when you get the chance, okay?" Yae Miko gave a sly smile, then took Ei's hand and prepared to step onto Inazuma's soil.

"By the way, don't you want to come over here and take a look around?"

Ei suddenly asked, making Lin Yiyi freeze for a moment. Hu Tao had invited him like this last time, too, but he had refused.

"I don't know if I'll be able to come back..."

The God of Thunder considered this. "You invited us through that little mirror, didn't you?"

"It's called a phone, right?"

Lin Yiyi nodded. "Yeah. Teyvat doesn't have the signal a phone needs, so I'm worried I won't be able to use it..."

"If that's the case, why don't I stand here while you go in first?"

"As long as I don't cross over, this door won't close, right?"

Yae Miko suddenly interrupted him, and her words made Lin Yiyi's eyes light up.

That was right! The rift had only closed after the characters entered. That didn't mean he himself couldn't go in.

With that thought, Lin Yiyi jumped through without hesitation and landed on the ground of Grand Narukami Shrine.

"What fresh air... And the scent of cherry blossoms is so wonderful..."

"My God, so this is Inazuma!"

Lin Yiyi greedily breathed in the air of another world and looked around.

From the summit of Mt. Yougou, he could see much of Inazuma.

Standing atop the highest peak, one could take in all the mountains below.

"So beautiful..."

Breezes brushed past him as the boy's gaze swept over Kamisato Estate, Inazuma City in the distance, and even the Jade Chamber far away in Liyue—the structure that would one day cover all of Teyvat.

If he had not experienced it himself, Lin Yiyi never would have imagined that Teyvat possessed such magnificent scenery.

It was too beautiful...

When Inazuma had first been released, its scenery had already deeply captivated him. Now that he could stand here in person, he could not help feeling overwhelmed.

Clouds could not block one's sight when one stood at the highest level.

"Little one, see whether your phone works properly?"

Yae Miko's voice suddenly reached his ears, and he immediately turned on the screen.

"!"

To his delight, the signal had not disappeared. It was still full bars, which meant his phone could function normally in Teyvat as well!

"But there's still a problem. If the spatial tunnel closes, my phone doesn't have an option to create a portal by itself."

"In that case, I won't be able to get back out, right?"

Ei and Yae Miko, who stood on the other side, fell into thought.

After a long while, Yae Miko finally said, "Since you are the Traveler, why not try inviting the Traveler herself?"

Lin Yiyi suddenly understood. What if he invited himself—Lum...

So he opened his own panel.

After Fontaine was unlocked, Lin Yiyi had switched the protagonist to the Hydro element.

"Invite this character?"

After tapping Confirm, another spatial rift appeared before him.

Looking through the rift, he found Yae Miko and Ei still standing on the other side.

At the same time, two rifts had appeared, yet both revealed the same people.

This meant that the spatial rift created by inviting himself could take him back!

"Great!"

A rare look of excitement appeared on Lin Yiyi's face. Like the protagonists in those novels, he could now travel from reality to Teyvat and from Teyvat back to reality, fulfilling the interdimensional travel fantasy he had always dreamed of.

"Congratulations, little one. You'll be able to come to our world from now on."

Yae Miko smiled. "Since there's nothing else to worry about, shall we return to Inazuma?"

"Come visit often, little one."

Then the two from Grand Narukami exchanged worlds with him, and the spatial rift closed once again.

Lin Yiyi lay on the bed and opened the Teyvat app again.

"New version ready. Update this application?"

A line of text suddenly appeared, making Lin Yiyi's eyes light up. He immediately tapped Confirm without hesitation.

Ten seconds later, he restarted the app, and a pop-up window appeared.

Version Update Notice:

2. The maps of Teyvat, The Chasm: Underground Mines, Enkanomiya, and the Serenitea Pot are now available. While in Teyvat, users may teleport through any Teleport Waypoint, Statue of The Seven, Domain, memorable formidable enemy location, and other locations within Teyvat.

4. Fixed several known issues.

Thank you for using the Teyvat app. The development team is committed to bringing you a better experience!

"This thing updates pretty quickly, huh? It figured out I can go to Teyvat, so it updated this fast?"

Lin Yiyi frowned. He still had not figured out where this app had come from.

But being able to travel between the two worlds through this app was not necessarily a bad thing.
