Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"It looks like something's on fire..."

"Are you pointing at me?" Yan Huan twisted her body seductively.

"I'm going to catch fire too!"

"Obviously, it's not referring to you." Huang Quan remained silent.

Black Swan and Huang Quan continued forward, while Yan Huan slowed down and looked at the monster corpses around them.

"..."

There was a large door ahead. Black Swan and Huang Quan gently pushed it open, revealing an unexpectedly spacious interior.

Various kinds of remains lay on the ground, all of them charred from the cause of death.

Upon seeing these injuries, both of them glanced at Yan Huan behind them.

Yan shrugged and said:

"What? It wasn't me. I've been right next to you the whole time."

The two thought about it and agreed.

Immediately, Huang Quan squatted down, gazing at the remains and murmuring:

"There are still some sparks left, and the culprit is probably not far away."

The black swan pursed her lips:

"It seems... there are others who have infiltrated this dream realm just like us."

Huang Quan said in a deep voice:

"Is it possible... that this is the work of the family, after all, 'renovating' the Daydream Hotel is also on their agenda?"

"It doesn't seem like it." The black swan gently shook its head.

"They should all be gathered around Lady Himeko right now, negotiating with her."

Yan Huan also quietly examined the remains of these monsters.

At his feet lay a charred, blackened bubble-shaped lithium dog, its surface marked with narrow, shallow cuts and charred traces from intense burning.

A few sparks danced and leaped within them.

He had obviously just died recently.

"It seems he died from some kind of thermal weapon."

Yan Huan took out a bottle of mineral water from her pocket and poured it on the remnants that still had sparks.

sizzle-

A plume of gray smoke rose, a result of the violent reaction between water and high temperature.

"..."

Upon hearing the voice, Huang Quan and Black Swan quickly turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that it was Yan Huan acting up.

The black swan looked towards the underworld and sighed:

"All around are burning memories...especially prominent in this deep sea."

Huang Quan nodded slightly:

"These marks were just left; the uninvited guest hasn't gone far yet."

After extinguishing the surface of the bubble lithium dog's remains, Yan Huan stood up and walked towards the remains of a flying bird monster.

The surface of the monster's remains looked as if it had been pierced by some kind of sharp weapon, and the tissue beneath the shell seemed to have evaporated explosively due to the high temperature in a short period of time.

Just by standing at the edge of the wreckage, Yan Huan could feel a surge of heat emanating from within it.

"..."

At this moment, Yan Huan frantically searched her mind for anyone she had encountered in Pinocchio who possessed similar attack methods.

Maybe not.

I don't know them, I've never seen them before.

The black swan examined the area for a while longer, then said in a deep voice:

"Judging from the memories captured by these remains, the person was tall and much stronger than an adult male."

Chapter 661 You all must die!

"His methods are swift and decisive, always killing with a single blow. He may be a mercenary or an assassin."

The black swan glanced at the layout of the entire lobby and made further deductions:

"He came in through the door on the other side of the lobby and went deeper into the hotel. In that case..."

"I roughly know his route of advance."

"You two, come with me."

Yan Huan and Huang Quan followed in the footsteps of the black swan. After killing some monsters that blocked their way, they arrived at a room filled with television sets.

"TV set?"

Yan Huan stared at the television wall in front of her, which was displaying static in black and white, and pondered:

"Could that meme have crawled out of here again?"

The black swan used its memory-telling abilities to create traces of fireflies' movements in the surrounding area.

"The traces left in this room are those of your friend."

"The slight tremor of the ground, the fleeting reflection on the screen, the flow of memory..."

"I have compiled them and reproduced them in fragment form for your reference."

"Let's investigate quickly. Conducting this kind of memory reconstruction is very taxing on me."

Yan Huan slowly stepped forward and touched the illusory figures of the fireflies.

[That thing I met with Yan Huan back then...] The voice of fireflies came from the phantom.

[If I'm not mistaken, it must be related to watchmakers.]

Huang Quan stood to the side, looking at Yan Huan:

She mentioned your name.

Yan Huan said calmly:

"The 'thing' this guy is talking about is probably referring to that meme."

“I said at the time that something was wrong with this thing, maybe it was that Mikhail... or maybe one of his teammates in disguise.”

"The black swan even accused me of making wild guesses."

Black Swan: “…”

Huang Quan looked at the illusory image of fireflies and said in a deep voice:

"She seemed to be sharing her discovery with someone, and... it was related to a watchmaker."

"Huh? She has teammates too?" Yan Huan seemed somewhat surprised.

"I've never seen this before."

Another ghostly figure, like a firefly, stood before the television set on the wall, and said in a deep voice: "[If only we could do it all over again...]"

Seeing this, Huang Quan asked in confusion:

"Is she staring at these screens, looking in a mirror...? What does '[One more time]' mean?"

Another illusory figure stood at the entrance of the passage on the other side:

Let's go...

"Us?" Yan Huan looked completely bewildered.

Was there anyone else with her?

Following the shadowy figure's footsteps, the three continued their investigation.

A firefly-like figure stood in front of the desk beside the aisle:

[Calm down, Firefly... calm down...]

Huang Quan pursed her lips:

She looked...very nervous.

The black swan smiled faintly:

"Yes, I'm very curious about what made her so nervous."

"Based on the information we have, it seems that Firefly entered this corridor with only one companion."

The three continued forward, and another ethereal firefly appeared ahead. Her voice held a hint of surprise:

[How come... this isn't what we agreed on.]

Huang Quan analyzed:

“The situation is starting to change; it seems that my companion… has deviated from the original plan.”

The Black Swan shared its perspective:

"Or, in terms of the outcome... this was that person's real plan."

Yan Huan looked at the illusory figure and speculated:

"She and her teammate had a falling out over the inheritance?"

The three continued forward, the firefly-like figure ahead maintaining a running posture, seemingly in a great hurry:

[Mecha...? Why...?]

"Mecha? That's an intriguing term," Black Swan said in a deep voice.
