Live Q&A: I am the Star God of Heaven

Chapter 605 When the Red Moon Ends (Chapter 1) 11

The video continues.

Himeko: "Yes, if we can't break the cycle, the unsolved case will become a mystery forever."

Captain Dong Yuan: "As expected of a responsible vigilante."

Himeko: “…I am no longer.”

Captain Dong Yuan: “Hmm?”

Himeko: "Nothing... Let's go to the area where the second pendulum clock is."

Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Strange, why did this Jizi say that she is no longer a vigilante? Did she get fired?"

Captain of Honkai Sandongyuan: "You will know about this later. It's quite fun to think about it now."

Star Dome Railway Fireworks: "Oh! It's fun. I'll have to sit up and watch it!"

The video continues.

Beep! The prompt sound from the light screen in Brownie's hand interrupted our conversation.

Xilin: “Wha, what’s that sound!”

Brownie: "Don't be afraid, little Silin. It's just the stalker's alarm."

Xilin: "Have you found the monster?"

Brownie: "Uh, it looks like there's a blockage in the program. Let me take a look - well, it's not difficult to solve, but it will take some time to locate the blockage, and it would be best if there was a place to charge it."

Xilin: "And an iced drink?"

Brownie: “Exactly!”

Ji Zi: "By the way, my home is nearby. If you don't mind, how about coming over to my house and sitting down?"

Rosemary: "Look, going to Miss Jizi's house to disturb her is indeed the safest way."

Captain Dong Yuan: "Then I'll trouble you, Ji Zi."

Ji Zi: "Ha, you're welcome. You guys really helped me a lot!"

The night seemed to have no boundaries. Unlike the bustling Canghai City in my memory, the streets here were empty. Occasionally, a cat or dog would hurriedly run past us, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the eerie midnight.

Xilin: "...That cat, can't it see us?"

Ji Zi: "Well, if you don't touch it, it will just repeat what happened that day along a fixed route. I felt creepy at first, but now... ha, if I knew who was behind all this, I would definitely grab that guy by the collar and ask why he made Canghai City like this!"

Browne: "Doing the same thing day after day on a fixed route... It sounds like watching a video with a single episode loop, and the character will act out the script wherever the progress bar is."

Rosemary Rita: "Haha, what an interesting metaphor. So, is there also such a hand dragging the progress bar in Canghai City?"

Although she was commenting on Brownie, Rita's smiling eyes were fixed on me. It was as if she was asking me a question.

Captain Dong Yuan: "(Will she be the one who put Canghai City into a loop? Why did she choose to put Canghai City in a loop? What does an infinitely looping world bubble mean?)"

Zero Phaethon Ling: "When you say that, it feels like I'm watching the first episode of a TV series over and over again."

Genshin Impact Yun Jin: "It's like singing the same opera over and over again. No matter how beautiful it is, you'll get tired of it."

Honkai Impact 3rd Kallen: "But the people in the video, except for the captain and his crew, were completely unaware."

The video continues.

I think of the colorful light of the red lights on the rooftop, and the rose-like moon on a midsummer night. I wonder if the ignorant and heartbreaking wishes in my memory have become something that is difficult for me to grasp.

"Meow"

Jizi: "Hey, be careful!"

Jizi pulled me out of my thoughts, and a kitten walked briskly past my feet. Like all the lives here, it completely ignored my existence, as if nothing had happened.

Himeko: "If you come into contact with this cat, the monsters will be attracted to it."

Captain Dong Yuan: "So the way to trigger the rules is contact..."

Xilin: "How long do we have to walk? It's really uncomfortable to stay on a street like this."

Ji Zi: "It's okay, my house is just up ahead, I'll be there soon... Wait! Oh, sorry, I still have some things to take care of, everyone wait for me a moment, sorry, sorry!"

Jizi suddenly looked flustered, as if she had remembered something. She quickly ran to an apartment building not far away and blocked us all out, saying that she had something to prepare.

Captain Dong Yuan: "Are you okay, Himeko?"

Himeko: "It's okay, it's just some minor problems - ah!"

Bang! The bookshelf, which could no longer bear the weight of the clutter, somehow knocked open the half-closed door, and all the messy books and bottles and jars fell in front of us.

Ji Zi: "Wait... Oh, forget it, just come in."

Although she said she had given up trying to clean up the mess, she was still unwilling to try to save it.

Ji Zi: "Hey, don't look at the messy places!"

Captain Dong Yuan: "Then where else can I look?"

I tried my best to find a place to stay in Jizi's room, being careful not to touch the piles of documents scattered on the floor. It was as difficult as trekking through the desert with my trousers lifted up. It was more like a storage room than a room.

Ji Zi: "Everyone, sit wherever you like! Don't be polite! Hahaha..."

It was obvious that the more the flustered Ji Zi sorted, the messier it became. Every time she finished sorting a pile of documents, the previously sorted pile of documents would fall happily at her feet, as if playing dominoes with her.

Himeko: "Ahahahaha... Really, I didn't even know I had so many things."

Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Teacher Jizi, don't you know it yourself? Or did you forget to clean it up?"

Starry Sky Railway March 7: "Come to think of it, we haven't seen Sister Jizi's room yet, but now that it looks like this messy room, I can guess what Sister Jizi's room looks like."

Star Dome Railway Himeko: "Are you curious about my room, Sanyue? But let me tell you in advance, my room is not messy!"

Honkai Impact 3: Immortal Tower Himeko: "And Kiana, I suddenly feel that I haven't given you enough homework recently. Come over and take these papers I prepared for you."

Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "No, Teacher Jizi!"

Rosemary Rita: "Don't worry, Miss Himeko, we just need to wait for Miss Brownie to finish debugging the equipment. We are grateful that we can make a safe place for the circulating city here."

Brownie: "That's right, there's no need to bother. Himeko, a genius hacker can debug the equipment in a snap."

Brownie sat casually on a bookstall nearby, while Rita stood gracefully beside me and smiled gently at Jizi.

Himeko: "…Excuse me, would you like something to drink? There's orange juice in the fridge, the kind that never expires, isn't it amazing? I'll get it for you, would you like some ice - Oops!"

Clink, dang, several empty cans of energy drinks rolled to the ground.

Captain Dong Yuan: "Well, Ji Zi, we can do it ourselves. Xilin, would you like some orange juice? Xilin? What are you looking at?"

Celine: “Something interesting.”

Himeko: "Ah, that...wait, that's not something for children to watch!"

Xilin: "...I'm not a child!"

Xilin, who was standing in front of the blackboard in the corner, turned to us with her hands on her hips, revealing the clue map pasted on Jizi's blackboard.

Are they all - the continuous blood-sucking incidents in Canghai City?

Ji Zi: "Hey, you also know about this case? My colleagues all said that it was just a rumor."

Captain Dong Yuan: "(Not only do I know, you once treated me as a suspect.) Actually, before coming to this world, I did some research - there have been many nighttime road attacks in Canghai City, and the parties involved all claimed that they were related to vampires."
