Chapter 603 When the Red Moon Ends (Chapter 1) 9
The video continues.
Brownie: "Let's go. Once we get to the warehouse manager, it's up to you to do whatever you want."
He continued to move forward, but felt strange about the scene before him.
Xilin: "What's going on? There's a thick fog ahead that's impossible to get through. Where does the forest come from? And something's wrong... This fog has magical fluctuations."
Brownie: "Oh? That means the fog here is probably some kind of anomaly in the sea."
Xilin: "Although I don't know why that person led us here, I always feel that it's best for us not to go in."
Captain Dong Yuan: "That is to say, we... were deceived."
Rosemary: "Well, why don't we go back and ask him for clarification?"
Brownie: "Of course! Let's go and ask that guy why he tricked us into coming here!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Oh my god, there are masters out there!"
Genshin Impact Yae Shinko: "This guy seems to be quite capable, as he was able to fool the captain and his men."
Xingqiong Railway Yunli: "I just don't know how good his martial arts skills are. Will there be a fight in the next plot?"
The video continues.
Brownie: "Got you!"
Everyone discovered the young man from before. He ran away immediately after seeing them but was quickly caught by the captain and his men.
The young man begged for mercy: "Don't hit me, don't hit me, it hurts, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, isn't that enough?"
Brownie: "What are you talking about? I didn't even touch you."
Young man: "I was wrong to lie to you... Look, this is the key... I'll throw it away!"
Xilin: "Hey! Don't throw the key out suddenly! Hey, stop!"
Brownie: "What a cunning guy!"
Jizi: "Anyway, we got the key. Now we can open the factory door. Let's go, Captain."
Everyone entered the factory with the key.
Brownie: "Interesting! This pendulum clock is really exquisite, but the time is not very accurate."
Xilin: "Look, the speed of its hands moving is slower than that of ordinary clocks."
A huge pendulum clock stood in front of me. It was supposed to swing back and forth, but it seemed to be clamped by some force, and its movement back and forth was sluggish and slow.
Ji Zi: "Don't think that this pendulum clock moves very slowly at night. When the day changes to night, it moves very fast."
Captain Dong Yuan: "The instantaneous alternation of day and night, and the long nights like this...are these all determined by the time indicated by the pendulum clock face?"
Ji Zi: "Not bad, you understood it so quickly. You guessed what I was going to say based on this little information."
Captain Dong Yuan: "In the general sense, it is always just a metaphor for our understanding of time, but in Canghai City, time is determined by the hands on the pendulum clock - this is the meaning of the pendulum clock controlling the cycle of Canghai City."
Genshin Istar: "Not bad! It seems that the captain has a deeper understanding of time."
Veritas Ladion, the Star God of Truth: "That's a good comment indeed. I'll give you two points."
Honkai Impact 3rd: Lisa: "It's a bit confusing, but I don't understand it anyway, so I'll just keep reading."
The video continues.
Jizi: "Well, when the pendulum clock's hour hand points to six o'clock for the second time, the cycle of the day will begin again."
Brownie: "Tsk, for someone who has realized that he is in a cycle, living in the same day every day is boring."
Himeko: “Yeah, so I’ve made a lot of attempts to break the cycle, but unfortunately… at the beginning, I tried to tell others like you guys that “we all live in a cyclical world”, and the result… you’ve just experienced it.
Telling familiar colleagues, shouting loudly on the street or distributing leaflets crazily - I have lost count of the number of times and ways I have tried, but as long as the cycle starts again, it's as if nothing has ever happened... It's as if all the efforts I have made have never existed. "
I have seen angry Ji Zi, vigilant Ji Zi, Ji Zi who was teasing me, and Ji Zi who was drunkenly talking on the rooftop - but the lonely Ji Zi in front of me was something I had never seen in my memory.
I have also made futile attempts again and again, and the repetitive pursuit has only allowed the tragedy to be staged countless times before my eyes. From unwillingness to disappointment and then to unwillingness again, going around in circles in endless tragedies, isn't this also a cycle.
Captain Dong Yuan: "Ji Zi..."
Jizi: "Hmm? What's the matter?"
Captain Dong Yuan: "No, nothing. What happened next? What do you think about this pendulum clock, Jizi?"
Ji Zi: "When I realized that these pendulums were related to the cycle of the sea, I looked for a way to stop the pendulums, but without exception, all of them failed. After so many cycles, this is the first time I have really come to the direction of the pendulum.
Every time I tried every possible way to get closer to the pendulum to see what was going on, there would always be annoying monsters that would pop up to stop me, like a persistent pursuer.
Captain Dong Yuan: "Yes, the persistent type is definitely not suitable for you."
Ji Zi: "Ha, then do you have any suitable good person you want to introduce to me?"
"After everything is over, can you introduce me to a good person?" - Somehow, I suddenly remembered what Himeko once said.
On that summer night when beer and evening breeze intertwined, I took this as a drunken joke from Ji Zi, but I didn't know that she was talking about tomorrow that would never come.
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Aunt Jizi brought up the captain's sorrow with just one sentence. That's too much!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Jizi: "Well, I didn't know it was like that at the beginning! And who are you calling auntie?"
Honkai Impact 3rd: Infinite Tower Himeko: "It's Kiana, you're itching for trouble again, right?"
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "I was wrong, I was wrong! (I'll dare to do it again next time!)"
Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "Give the kid a beating while he's still young."
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "I...!"
The video continues.
Ji Zi: "Hey, hey, why are you suddenly stunned? Do you think it's difficult to find a good person for me?"
Captain Dong Yuan: "How could that be! I promise to complete the mission. If you have any requests, just let me know!"
Ji Zi: "Haha, you still take my joke so seriously. However, you can't introduce me to other people in Canghai City where memories are constantly being reset, otherwise every day's interaction will start with self-introductions, right?"
Seeing Ji Zi also joking, I felt a little relieved. Even though I was no longer in his memory, I still hoped that she would always be the enthusiastic and cheerful vigilante girl when I first met her.
Captain Dong Yuan: "Don't worry about solving the loop, Ji Zi. One more person means more strength. We have successfully arrived at the first pendulum clock. I believe the loop will be broken soon!"
Ji Zi: "Yes, compared to investigating alone in Canghai City and having to worry about being chased by monsters all the time, with you here, we have made a great breakthrough today! Without further ado, when I climb up the pendulum clock, if any annoying monsters appear, you must guard my back.
Wait a minute, how about... you guys go. I have more experience in dealing with monsters."
Brownie: "Don't bother, Miss Himeko~ Hunter, it's your turn!"
A drone emitting blue light flew to the top of the pendulum clock and began scanning, while we gathered in front of Brownie's screen to observe it carefully.
Xilin: "I can't see clearly, Brownie, please let it move closer."
Brownie: "It's very clear, oh. You don't understand? Don't worry, little Xilin, I'll teach you!"
