Chapter 144: You're not dead, are you?
[Genshin Impact-Paimon: Ah——! Why is it this guy again! 】
[Genshin-Ying: Is this the shadow of "death"? 】
[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: I had already escaped with the help of Miss Black Swan, but in the end...]
[Honkai Impact 3 - Kiana: Uh... But I don't understand one thing, why does that guy keep staring at Firefly? ]
[Honkai Impact 3 - Kiana: It clearly had a chance to attack Xing just now, right? ]
[Genshin Impact - Paimon: Yes, yes, I saw it too, it just whizzed past Xing! ]
[Genshin Impact - Ying: According to the situation, it had a chance to kill both of them, but...]
[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true... It's really strange, why is that? ]
[Honkai Impact 3 - Einstein: In nature, there are indeed some hunters who, after identifying their own targets, will not change their previous decisions even if there are other targets nearby. ]
[Honkai Impact 3 - Einstein: Miss Black Swan once said that this kind of creation called "meme" will follow the concepts it carries, wandering in the memory domain, eager to absorb more memory. ]
[Honkai Impact 3 - Einstein: Perhaps because of this, it saw something in Miss Firefly that we didn't know, and thus regarded her as a hunting target. ]
Einstein's conjecture was quite reasonable, so everyone was thinking about it carefully.
As for Xing, the person involved in the picture, he has neither the time nor the energy to think about those issues.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xing's pupils trembled violently.
Huang Quan and Black Swan seemed to have not expected things to turn out like this, and they also had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
"sorry……"
Tears rolled down from her eyes, and just as Liuying uttered the words, "Death" pressed its claws deeper again, completely making Liuying unable to make any sound anymore.
It pulled out its sharp claws again, and the firefly, having lost its support, fell powerlessly from the sky.
Xing threw the bat in his hand away and ran towards the place where Firefly fell, trying to catch it before she hit the ground.
However, the moment she hugged Liuying, his body became almost transparent and completely shattered in her arms, turning into a puddle of water on the ground.
Crystal clear spots of light emerged from the bubbles and floated towards the sky.
Xing fell to the ground, looking at the water stains on the ground, gasping violently, as if he still couldn't believe what had just happened before his eyes.
Seeing this, Huang Quan hurriedly took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xing to prevent "Death" from attacking again at this time.
However, "Death" seemed to have completed its mission and did not continue to attack them. Instead, it retreated and disappeared into the purple smoke again.
After confirming that the other party had left, Huang Quan turned his gaze to Xing who had stood up, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Xing, are you... okay?"
"Is this... a dream..." Xing's tone was a little dazed.
[Genshin Impact-Paimon: This doesn't look like everything is alright...]
[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: ...To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Xing show such an expression...]
[Original God - Paimon: After all, an important person was killed in front of my eyes. If it were me, I would definitely be very sad. 】
[Genshin-Ying: I understand. 】
[Honkai Impact 3 - Kiana: If it were me... Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense am I talking about! That kind of thing will never happen! ]
[Genshin Impact-Navia: Sigh... I hope she can cheer up. 】
[Starry Sky Railway-Jizi: But now at least we can be sure that the one who killed Miss Robin was also the memory meme called "Death". ]
In the picture, Huang Quan looked at Xing's expression, took a few steps forward, and walked in front of her, "Look at me... calm down and take a deep breath, okay?"
"Let me do it, just relax - you'll be fine."
After Black Swan said this, he guided Xing to look into his eyes. Under the influence of the "Rememberer" ability, Xing's emotions gradually calmed down a lot.
"This... this is too sudden..." Although normal communication has been restored, there is still a deep sadness in Xing's eyes that cannot be dispelled.
Black Swan glanced at Xing and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him before he said to Huang Quan, "I'm really sorry, I have to leave for a while...
"Death is still roaming around. I must personally check the safety of Ms. Himeko and Ms. Mitsukichi and give them a warning...
"I'll leave her in your care... Miss Huang Quan."
Huang Quan nodded, indicating that the other party could leave without worry.
After the Black Swan left, Huang Quan closed his eyes and sighed softly, then looked at Xing again, "I'm sorry that this happened... I was too focused on that girl and ignored..."
At this point, she seemed unable to continue speaking for some reason, so she closed her eyes and shook her head, continuing: "It was because of my indecision that she lost her life... I'm sorry, Xing."
"It's not your fault." Xing shook her head gently.
"But if I had chosen to draw my sword at that time..." Huang Quan sighed deeply again, "I'm sorry, I... have no choice."
[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: With Sister Huang Quan's strength, that monster is definitely no match for her, so why did she say she had no choice?]
[Genshin-Ying: Is it because of some restrictions? 】
[Genshin Impact - Ying: I remember that in the previous video, when facing that gold dust, she didn't want to draw her sword at first, until the other party forced her to take action. ]
[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: Combined with the words of Pinocchio's dream master before, could it be that Miss Huangquan didn't draw her sword because she was worried that the power of "nothingness" would infect Pinocchio's dream? ]
[Honkai Impact 3 - Chang Guang: Lady Theresa's statement does have a certain degree of possibility. Hmm... to a certain extent.]
[Genshin Impact-Paimon: Huh? Could this be the reason? It doesn't seem like it.]
[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: I feel dizzy, let’s continue reading…]
Looking at Huang Quan who was extremely self-blaming, Xing spoke to comfort him, "The most urgent thing is to find out what happened."
Huang Quan nodded, "Yes... We will. But the time has not come yet. Before the "hunt", we should open our eyes and think about where the real enemy is hiding and how to fight against it...
"Don't let pain influence your thoughts, Star. Only by maintaining yourself can you stay on the right path."
She turned around, her eyes filled with reminiscence, "Once, someone also warned me this... "There is no need to show mercy to your enemies. That would be cruel to yourself. But you must recognize who the real enemy is...""
She turned around and continued solemnly to Xing: "...and, you must understand the meaning and price of swinging that knife.
"This is the only advice a man with a lot of blood on his hands can give you."
