Chapter 7 [Keys]

Paper

"The subject is still trying to bite people on day 14. We've prepared an antidote in case things get out of hand... Or, should we say, it has already occurred."

You

"Antidote!"

You yelled out. Everyone's heads turned to you, they quit searching around the room and rushed over to your side to read the paper.

Scaramouche

"Childe, move!"

Childe

"What am I doing?!"

Scaramouche

"You're head's too fat!"

Xiao

"Enough."

You

"Okay- Quiet!"

You then carefully read the rest of the paper.

Paper

"One of our research subjects has vanished. They were reportedly featured on the news as the first to begin spreading whatever it is... I'm stumped as to what to call it. They bit a high school student first, and because that student was in such a large environment, other students were infected at such a rapid rate. The Council discovered us accountable for this disaster, therefore we no longer have our antidote. We're all going to suffer because they don't know how to use it."

You

"Damn, that's dark."

Xiao

"I suspected that there would at least be an antidote. Every virus has a solution. That's how it works."

Childe

"So all we need to do is go to that Council thingy, get the antidote, then we'll be good, right?"

You

"Well-"

Scaramouche

"How does that help us though? That doesn't bring us closer to home."

You

"I was just about to say that, Scara, why'd you have to steal my words?"

Scaramouche

"Oh I dunno, but you deserve it."

Xiao

"Scaramouche, we should still get the antidote."

Scaramouche

"... Why?"

Xiao

"Just in case any of us turn into one of the Infected. It would also allow Y/N's universe to be restored. If they're going to help us get home, then we might as well return the favour by helping their world too."

You

"Huh? Oh no, you guys just gotta get home. This universe can literally die for all I care."

Childe

"What... How could you say that?... Don't you love your home?"

You

"Pfft, no? You don't know how many people are mistreated by the Council in the Underground. But I'll still stick with the idea of getting the antidote, but just for us and the people of Teyvat who may have turned into one of the Infected. I don't want this to spread in your universe."

You folded the paper neatly and put it in a pocket in your bag where it has the certainty to be safe.Β 

You

"Now, let's start making our way to the Council tower."

Scaramouche

"Another building?!"

You

"Well, where'd you ever expect to see an antidote? Just sticking out on the road?!"

Scaramouche

"These stairs are tiring, man!"

You

"Well get used to it!"

While the two of you argued, Xiao looked out the window.

Xiao

"Is that the 'Council' building?... Or whatever it's called?"

The rest of you went by his side to take a look out the window too.

You

"Uh... I think so?"

Scaramouche

"You think so?... Isn't this your home?!"

You

"I live in the Underground, I don't know much about this part of my dimension!"

Xiao

"It would seem like it. It's the most outstanding structure out of all the others."

Childe

"But for all we know, the Council building could be like... A shack."

You

"Childe, there is no way that you're actually saying something like that, right here and right now."

Childe

"Just saying!..."

You

"The Council would definitely have a building like that, I think I've seen one of the members walk in there before so... It's worth a shot to go search for the antidote in there."

Scaramouche

"Question is, how do we get there? We're really far."

You

"Scara, move your fat fucking face!"

Scaramouche was pushing himself against all of you, his short ass was trying so hard to take a good look at the building.

Scaramouche

"It's not my fault, you guys are so fucking big!"

Childe

"...That's what she said."

You

"Ahem!... I say we get there by car. We're gonna die walking our way there."

Scaramouche

"... A what?"

You

"A car."

Xiao

"...?"

You

"Childe, please tell me you know what a car is."

He shrugged his shoulders, looking at Scara and Xiao.

You

"You're fucking kidding me."

You said under your breath. You put your fingers in between your eyes, pinching the top of your nose a bit, disappointed and stressed.

You

"A car is a form of transportation, do you get it?"

Xiao

"So... A wave rider."

Childe

"Teleport waypoints?"

Scaramouche

"Elevators?"

You

"Scaramouche you dumbass, elevators aren't a form of transportation!"

Scaramouche

"But they can bring you up and down!"

You

"But can an elevator just make us elevate all the way to that huge-ass building that's like what, an hour away from us?"

Scaramouche

"... It still counts!"

You

"And what are wave riders and those teleport thingies you were saying?"

Childe

"Well, the way we get around easily in Teyvat is by using teleport waypoints. They're like checkpoints that you can teleport to at any time. And a wave rider is just a simple boat that glides across the water."

You

"Wow, that's complicated."

You said again, under your breath.

You

"Well, we don't have any of that shit here, so we'll be using a car."

Scaramouche

"And where are we gonna get a car?..."

You

"I dunno, we'll find one eventually."

Childe

"What does it look like?"

You

"You'll see when we get there. Look for any person that looks like an adult and search their pockets. If you find any remote-looking things, tell me."

Xiao

"We have to search through... Dead bodies?..."

You

"Yeah, why not?"

Scaramouche, Childe, and Xiao all looked at each other, then back at you. They all sighed then started searching, the same with you.

It was honestly just kinda strange, imagine just walking through a hallway and you see 4 gay asses just poking at dead bodies so they can drive a car.

You

"Sweet! I found one!"

They all walked over to you to see it.

Childe

"What does it do?"

Childe hit one of the buttons recklessly, and a loud ass siren began to play, making you all jump. Because Xiao was closest to the window, he literally leapt back and collided with all of you.

Scaramouche

"Childe, what the fuck did you do?!"

Childe

"The red button looked so tempting!"

You

"You should know not to press red buttons!"

The siren continued to play, and all of you looked out the window to see the car that was associated with the key fob you were holding. The lights were flashing and the noise was deafening.

You

"Well, at least we know where it is now."

It was almost as if you'd jinxed it. Because you hadn't engaged with the Infected in a while, you all forgot about them for a minute until you noticed a swarm of them clamber onto the vehicle.

You

"Oh."

Xiao

"That's right. I forgot they were attracted to loud noises."

You

"Okay... Well, let's continue looking for another one."

Rolling your eyes, you continued searching but it was quite distracting with that loud siren going off.Β 

Xiao

"Hey, Y/N."

He whispered while Scaramouche and Childe were looking someplace else.
