Chapter 609 When the Red Moon Ends (Chapter 1) 15
The video continues.
Rosemary: "Please rest assured, Captain. Miss Celine and I will protect Miss Brownie while she analyzes the data."
Xilin: "Well, just leave that guy to me."
Brownie: "Hey, Captain, how about we have a competition to see whether you and Miss Himeko find the hidden pendulum clock first or we do?"
Captain Dong Yuan: "See you later, Brownie."
Brownie: "Hey! Captain! Don't walk so fast! There's no point in running ahead. I won't lose."
The scattered moonlight stood in the narrow alley. I followed Ji Zi closely, looking around quietly. What was I waiting for? If she really showed up here, what would I say to her? I seemed to have a lot of questions to ask her, but I didn't know how to start.
Captain Doubuchi: "(But she's not here today.)"
Not knowing whether to be relieved or disappointed, I shook my head and began to look for clues to the existence of the hidden pendulum clock.
Himeko: "Alas, it seems that there is no trace of the hidden pendulum clock. There is nothing special here."
Captain Dongyuan: "Jizi——"
Jizi: "What's wrong?"
A crow flew past Ji Zi. If I hadn't pulled her over, we would have definitely attracted those locust-like monsters because of touching the crow.
Jizi: "I was so busy looking for clues about the pendulum clock that I almost forgot about this. Thank you very much..."
Her expression suddenly changed and her face became serious.
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Did Aunt Jizi discover something? Her expression suddenly became so serious."
Starry Sky Railway March 7: "But I didn't notice anything when I watched the video?"
Star Dome Railway Pioneer Xing: "This is normal. With your IQ, March, it is impossible for you to think of such a profound question."
Genshin Impact Traveler Ying: “Totally agree.”
Starry Sky Railway March 7: "Nonsense, I'm not that stupid!"
The video continues.
Captain Dong Yuan: "Jizi? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Himeko: ""Himeko——""
Captain Dong Yuan: “Hmm?”
Ji Zi: "You know what? In my memory, that day, in this deserted alley, someone was also calling my name anxiously like this.
Because I was worried that this incident was related to the rumors of blood-sucking incidents in Canghai City, I raised my watch to record the time, but at this moment I found that my watch was much slower than I remembered. What made me even more horrified was that -
I clearly knew that there was something wrong with the time, and I was sure that the watch was not broken, but why did I take it for granted in my subconscious mind? "
Captain Dong Yuan: "So, the time you actually break out of the loop is the moment you hear someone calling your name?"
Ji Zi didn't answer for a long time, just looked at me steadily.
Captain Dong Yuan: "Himeko?"
Jizi: "...Is it you?"
Captain Dong Yuan: “Hmm?”
Himeko: "The voice that called my name was you, right, sir?"
Captain Dong Yuan: "Wait, what did you call me? Did you remember everything, Himeko?"
Himeko: "Well, it seems that a lot of things happened, but I can't be sure if they are my memories. It seems that some things did happen to me, but I didn't actually experience them."
Captain Dongyuan: "Something that happened before but not to you?"
Himeko: "...Actually, I should be dead, right?"
Mingchao Anke: "Ah! How come you said something like that all of a sudden?"
Honkai Impact 3: Murayama Himeko: "It seems that my other self has remembered the past, the things related to the captain."
Kafka of Star Railway: "Interesting. I wonder what the Captain will say next?"
Captain Dong Yuan fell silent.
Himeko: "That day, I, no, or rather, she, came here with the determination to die. At that time, it was Kallen-sama who told me everything about A872 as a routine matter... But when we got to the alley, she was the first one to soften her heart.
She kept saying that it was all her fault, and I didn't know what to say to comfort Lady Kallen, and your phone kept ringing."
Captain Dong Yuan: "At that time, I was very worried about you. I regretted why I didn't understand your drunken words on the rooftop earlier. I just wanted to find you and be by your side."
Ji Zi: "Ah, you guys are so annoying, I have finally made up my mind and I can't let you easily shake me!
Ha, I thought I was mentally prepared, and I naively believed that death was just a matter of a moment, but only then did I realize what a long moment it was.
In that moment, there was my father’s smile when I was admitted to Caltech at the age of 15, the enthusiasm after I made up my mind to become a Valkyrie, and the smell of the summer night breeze and beer at the age of 19.
Lady Kallen told me to pick up the phone. I don’t want the captain to live in regret and annoyance, at least I want to say goodbye to you properly.
Captain Dong Yuan: "But you only said one sentence to me... Really, do you think you can say goodbye to me with relief like that? That's nothing!"
Himeko: "Haha, whether you were then or now, you are still as childish~ I know you very well, and I know your determination and stubbornness. So I said to Kallen-sama - let's end this before that reckless guy runs here.
Because I want to die as a human being, so that when you see me, I will be the same person I was when we first met."
Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "Even when facing death, it is not surprising that you want to show your best side to those who are important to you."
Honkai Impact 3rd De Lisa: "Sure enough, no matter which Jiko it is, she is a good Jiko!"
Bronya of Star Dome Railway: "No matter what, Ms. Himeko is very respectable."
The video continues.
Captain Dou Yuan: "Jizi... I tried many times to find a way to save you all from that tragedy. I reset time and observed this place again and again, hoping that with past experience, the ending would be different."
Himeko: "...That's why my memories of you now have different stories."
Captain Dong Yuan: "I'm sorry, Ji Zi, there are some things I couldn't explain to you at that time."
Jizi: "Ha, I wouldn't have believed you even if you explained it to me then. Suspect of the serial blood-sucking incidents?"
Captain Dong Yuan: "Hahahaha, it seems that life in this circular world bubble has improved your ability to accept strange things."
Himeko: "So, in the story where I died, the vampire serial blood-sucking incident did exist, but in the world I'm currently in, it's just a rumor."
Captain Dong Yuan: "...Yes, in that world, vampires do exist, and in Canghai City where we are now, she... vampires have not caused any victims in this city. After all, there are no bite marks on those monsters, and there have been no cases of blood being sucked from the residents.
The little boy we rescued mentioned that monsters usually don't harm the residents of Canghai City. The reason why he was attacked was probably because we confirmed his guess about the vampire rumor and changed his course of action.
At the Houm Happy Restaurant, the monsters appeared because we tried to tell the staff the truth about the world. If I am right, the monsters were not infected by vampires, but more like a self-protection mechanism of the world.
When outliers like us appear, this world called Canghai City will activate its protection mechanism to eliminate us."
