"How could this be? Why me?!"
Fischl looked at the short twig in her hand, feeling a bit lost for a moment.
She had clearly picked a twig that was neither too thick nor too thin, so by all logic, it shouldn't have been too long, but it definitely shouldn't have been too short either.
"Ahahaha, congratulations, Fischl! You've got this rare opportunity!"
"If I were you, I'd be incredibly happy. After all, this is the Witch's Cabin. This Daddy, would really love to see it for myself!"
Itto even let out a schadenfreude-filled laugh at the sight.
Fischl was furious, wishing she could incinerate Itto. He was being a backseat driver now, but he wasn't like this just a moment ago!
"Fischl, if it's really too much, let me go in instead of you."
Although Bennett was a bit silly, he could still sense Fischl's emotions, so he offered to take her place.
Unfortunately, at that moment, the Witch's voice came from inside again.
"Are you trying to cheat?!"
With so many people here, even if Fischl truly didn't want to go in, she had to bite the bullet and enter.
"I, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, how could I possibly fear a mere Witch like you!"
After saying that, Fischl strode towards the cabin, only hesitating for several seconds at the door.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and pushed the door open.
"Huh?"
But when Fischl entered the door, she found that the scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined.
Although there was indeed an old hag living inside the cabin, and a pot was placed right in the center of the room.
However, what was in the pot was not poison, but spare rib soup!
As for Furina, whom they had searched for so painstakingly, she was currently sitting on the sofa, laughing heartily.
"Hahaha, this is killing me, this movie is just too funny!"
Furina's stomach hurt from laughing, and she suddenly turned her head and saw Fischl.
"Fischl, you're here! Come in, come in quickly."
Seeing the scene before her, Fischl's mind was naturally blank as she said, "Furina, what are you doing here? And weren't you captured by vampires?"
Everyone gathered at the doorway, completely unsure of what was going on.
Furina got up and explained with a smile, "Oh, I was actually very scared that day!"
It turned out that the Room 100 Furina entered that day was a darkroom.
And this darkroom wasn't caused by some terrifying rule; it was just a small game.
After Furina went in, it was completely dark inside, scaring her into screaming.
But unfortunately, this room had been specially modified, and its soundproofing was very strong.
And not long after, the room lit up, and there were three staff members inside.
It was then that Furina realized that things weren't as she had imagined.
Xavier's eyes went dark as he asked, "So don't tell me this was all a trick by the merchants, their marketing ploy!"
The Witch took off her robe, revealing that she was nothing more than a woman in her 30s.
She smiled and said, "I apologize for not notifying you in advance, but for the sake of the game and its fun, this is a confidential part."
"Of course, if this lady is not too willing to participate in this game, we will not force her."
At this point, everyone finally understood that the so-called vampires, ghosts, and Witches were all fabricated lies.
It was all to make them feel that this ancient castle was full of mystery.
While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also found it very interesting.
"I didn't expect it to be so fun. I want to come back and play again next time!"
Hu Tao was the happiest among them; she already loved these unique activities.
"Damn it, you should have said so earlier! Even if you didn't say it, you should have given us some psychological preparation. You scared This Daddy, to death!"
Itto, in his anger, blurted out his true feelings, finally admitting that he was scared.
Yoimiya teased, "Well, it looks like you can't be the Kid King then, since such a small difficulty scared you."
Itto's face instantly turned red, but he had already said the wrong thing, and it was irreparable.
"Alright, alright, since it was a misunderstanding, let's go back. We should prepare to go home tomorrow."
Xavier finally let out his last breath.
It seemed that everyone was very satisfied with this trip to the ancient castle.
Although Furina was scared half to death at first, she at least had a good time later.
On the way back to the ancient castle, Xavier asked, "Furina, you've been living quite comfortably these past two days, haven't you? Do you know I even went to Fontaine to look for you?"
Furina probably didn't expect Xavier to specifically look for her, and she said in surprise, "Ah? No way, I was just playing a game with you all. How could something really happen to me in a place like this?"
Although she said this, Furina was actually very touched in her heart, which showed that Xavier cared about her.
"I understand all the reason, but how can one do everything?"
Xavier spread his hands. Perhaps this was just how people were.
Even if they knew many truths, they would still follow their emotions in the end.
After the problem was resolved, everyone slept much more soundly that night, and they returned home early the next morning.
After returning home, everyone felt as if they had been away for a very long time, though in reality, it had only been a few days.
"Going back, going back! I need to rest for two days before coming back!"
Hu Tao stretched, then disappeared from the living room.
Finally, many others also left one by one.
Except for Zhongli, Furina, and Ei.
It seemed they had made this place their second home, feeling completely at ease.
And Xavier suddenly remembered something very important, so he opened his phone, and upon seeing it, he felt full of guilt.
"You Great Demon King, why aren't you updating? What do you mean by this?!"
"That's it, if you don't update again, I'm unfollowing."
"Even the donkeys on the production team don't rest as much as you do, or are you secretly eating alone again at home, kid!"
Xavier wiped the sweat from his forehead. How could he have forgotten such an important matter?
So he quickly posted an apology.
"Sorry everyone, there have been some small issues recently. I'll update tomorrow."
At the same time, Xavier was also thinking about what kind of work to update.
It seemed he had to provide something more interesting, otherwise, these fans would definitely chase after him and scold him.
Ah, headache, what a headache.
"Xavier, Xavier, how about we go to Mondstadt tomorrow!"
Furina, who had been watching TV and eating dessert, suddenly ran over.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to Mondstadt?" Xavier was a bit curious.
Furina said directly, "Of course it's because of Fischl! She said she wants to invite me to Mondstadt, saying that the grass on Starsnatch Cliff this season is between green and yellow, and if it's illuminated by the sunset, I don't know how beautiful it would be!"
Furina's words also attracted Xavier, so it might be a good idea to go and see tomorrow.
