[ Surprise lights the guards' features at the sight and their mouths open in an "o" of shock. The spears, of course, glance off the shield without any kind of effect and Zhongli is left to essentially stroll his way up to the Golden House without anything standing in his way.

Even as Zhongli continues onwards towards the Golden House, they will continue to follow. Until, of course, the consultant reaches the door, and then they will all just dissipate into nothingness like they had never been there at all.
Should Zhongli turn around, he'll be greeted with the sight of all the men standing in their respective positions, facing forward, dutifully standing guard over the building.
And should he look ahead... Well. The doors are already open. Childe stands in the middle, looking up at... the Exuvia. Is this another memory? ]
