Meanwhile, in just a few seconds, Shiki had already traversed hundreds of thousands of meters, arriving at another floating island, and found the Library Enjou had mentioned
"This should be the Library Enjou mentioned, no mistake. So, the place where the Omikoshi is kept… is it to the north?"
First, it was certain that this room, filled with bookshelves everywhere, was definitely the Library, and it was the only building on the entire island.
The main entrance of the Library faced south, so according to Enjou's mention of the "back," the place where the Omikoshi was stored should be somewhere north of the Library.
Furthermore, Shiki also saw a map carved on the wall inside the Library, which allowed her to learn the names of various places in Enkanomiya.
"So, the place I am currently in is called Xiajian Street; the buffer zone between here and Watatsumi Island is called Serpent's Bowels; the island where the Mikoshi is located is called Mikoshi; to the east is Evernight Temple; to the south is Serpent's Heart."
Shiki said, narrowing her eyes. This map wasn't complete. Through the Waypoints, she could also see that the locations of three Waypoints were not marked on the map.
'Forget it, it's just place names. But if they're not marked on the map, is there something there?'
Shiki couldn't help but think this way, just as no one would foolishly mark locations like laboratories or military bases on a map.
Her figure flickered, appearing above the Library. Looking north, she immediately saw the place where the Omikoshi was kept.
For no other reason than it was simply too conspicuous. A maze in a ruined wasteland—if that's not conspicuous, what is? A Hilichurl?
Swish!
electro element flashed, and Shiki appeared at the entrance of the maze. Beside her was a triangular device, which looked like it was for solving a puzzle.
But so much time had passed, and basically everyone who knew her knew that Shiki never solved puzzles.
This time, however, she was going to do something fancy.
Golden electric arcs appeared around Shiki's body, then she extended her fair right hand and gently pulled.

Golden electric arcs appeared around Shiki's body, then she extended her fair right hand and gently pulled.
Creak...
The metal grid-like wall, distorted and broken by the magnetic field, finally formed a door for her to enter.
After all, this place has a long history, so it's better not to destroy it if possible.
When she comes out, she can use the magnetic field to restore these metals.
Although the parts that were torn in the middle are still broken, it's better than a big hole, isn't it?
Shiki found a pyramid-shaped device at the end of the labyrinth, except that its wider side was bulging.
'This should be the reins of resurrection, right? It's called reins of resurrection, but it has nothing to do with reins at all.'
Reins refer to a bridle, and this pyramid-shaped object clearly has nothing to do with reins.
It could be said to be completely mismatched.
From the side, this reins of resurrection appeared as a rhombus, and it didn't look impressive at all, nothing like a device that could control the Mikoshi.
However, this was merely superficial; its internal structure was very complex, otherwise, how could it control the sun-moon wheel?
After obtaining the reins of resurrection, Shiki did not directly teleport back to the Mikoshi. Instead, she lit all three Waypoints in Xiajian Street before returning to the Mikoshi.
Of course, she also remembered the portal in the sky.
There's one of these in Mondstadt, which can help the Traveler teleport directly to Musk Reef to challenge the Spiral Abyss and obtain Primogem, commonly known as 'going down to the Abyss.'
But Shiki didn't know where this portal led. She wasn't the Traveler, who could teleport to Waypoints even while flying in the air.
If she were teleported to a place without a Waypoint, like Musk Reef, wouldn't she be unable to return?
One must know that without a Waypoint, she couldn't access the Ley Line, and without accessing the Ley Line, she couldn't determine her location through it.
If she couldn't determine her location, how would she return?
Let's take Musk Reef as an example again; how would she discern directions in a place surrounded by sea?
Who knows where she would be teleported if she impulsively went through this?
According to game settings, this impulse might lead the Traveler to those three unmarked locations, but what if it wasn't?
Moreover, Shiki could transform into lightning and fly there, which wouldn't take long, so there was no need to gamble.
After lighting the Waypoints around the Mikoshi, Shiki returned to Enjou's location.
At this moment, Enjou had regained his ability to move and was floating in mid-air. However, due to the cage formed by the Lightning element spears, he could only obediently stay inside.
"It seems you've found the reins of resurrection?"
"I found it. So, next time, can you be a bit clearer? This reins of resurrection has absolutely nothing to do with the word 'reins' besides its name."
Shiki tossed the reins of resurrection up and down, while simultaneously dispersing the six Lightning element spears into their most basic Lightning element, then reabsorbing them into her body.
Enjou was quite obedient; after Shiki dispersed the cage, he made no attempt to escape. It's unclear if this counts as a spirit of contract.
However, Shiki wasn't afraid of Enjou escaping anyway.
She could instantly condense a cage identical to the previous one. To be honest, Shiki hadn't expected that the strong magnetic field created by these Lightning element spears could affect the teleportation of these Abyss Order members.
In the chapter [We Will Be Reunited], the Abyss Order first appeared in the Traveler's sight, and Shiki was one of them.
At that time, the Hydro Abyss Order member kept spouting threats to me, and then, unable to win, tried to open a portal to escape. It was Dainsleif, the riddle-man, who stopped him. Shiki remembered it clearly.
Shiki chose her sister, and then Dainsleif appeared, spouted some riddles, and took the Hydro Abyss Order member away. Dainsleif, the riddle-man, also followed.
