Honkai Encyclopedia: Start with the Sky Meteor!

Afterwards, everyone prepared to go to the alley that the little boy mentioned.

On the way, they met a drunk man blocking the way.

After successfully helping him find the lost things, the man also moved out of the way.

Finally, everyone came to a narrow alley.

During the day, there is no scary atmosphere due to the interweaving of light and shadow, and all that can be felt is solitude.

The silence around him reminded the captain of many things.

About that summer night, and that weak girl...

The alley where I first met the vampire girl is not as quiet as it was then.

"You are right, even if there are clues about her in Canghai City, she may not really be here.……"

Although history repeatedly reminded the captain of this, for some reason, he still took a step forward.

But he still wanted to look here, even if the hope was slim, he didn't want to give up.

Afterwards, everyone searched around the alley for any clues.

The light moves with the shadow, and there are strange light spots flickering in the corners.

"Hey, this is……"

The captain looked with some doubts

——A shard of red glass.

(Captain: Where did it fall from? However, there are no houses nearby that use this red glass as windows...)

(Wait, it's just ordinary glass.)

The captain couldn't help but pick it up. Special glass pieces for observation.

(Captain: Deep red, or blood red? If you look closely, it seems to be something special...)

When bright light passes through the glass, spots of light appear inside the originally crystal clear fragments.

"Hey - Captain, we are going to the front, why don't you come?"

Brownie's words brought the captain back to reality.

"……"

"Wait, Captain, you……？"

Rita stared at the captain in surprise.

His attention was occupied by the light spots in the glass, and the sounds in his ears gradually became blurred. Gradually, the captain could only hear and see another scene.

A girl's words echoed in his mind

"——！"

(Captain: This is her memory!)

The captain became excited

……

【Alicia:"Finally found the clue to Yuexia?"】

【Kiana:"It's not easy, Captain!"】

【Herrscher of the Sky:"It's just a fragment, it's still early"】

【Youlandel:"It seems that this fragment is also the key to finding my blood relatives."】

【Graciu:"Fortunately, I have a little clue."】

【Leiden Meiyi:"Is this the power of love?"】

"Captain……？"

Rita looked at the captain doubtfully

"is her."

The captain is very sure.

"Miss Yuexia? Captain...did you see something?"

Xi Lin asked

"Although the origin is unclear, this fragment contains her memories"

"This piece of glass isn't here for no reason, she's probably nearby, I have to……"

"——Find her."

The captain's eyes became firm.

He looked around subconsciously, but saw nothing.

For some reason, when the captain thought about this, his heart began to beat violently, and he clearly felt something sharp. Something stood between him and her.

Every time the captain wanted to get close to Yuexia Chuchu, the thing stung him...

Why is this happening? Is it fate that is preventing him from finding her?

No, The captain doesn't care about such insubstantial things... nothing can stop him

"Captain, your face doesn't look very good."

Rita said with concern

"don’t worry. I have a hunch that we are heading in the right direction"

"Let's go to the rooftop of that building."

The captain said seriously.

"Well...don't force yourself, Captain."

Rita said seriously

"I understand, Rita, I have my own sense of proportion."

The captain nodded.

……

【Kiana:"Sure enough, the main palace is under the moon!"】

【Youlandel:"Actually, the captain's love for everyone is fair... right?"】

……

Everyone went to the rooftop together.

But the road to the rooftop has been closed.

After some hard work, I found the key to the door.

Everyone came to the rooftop. got windy.

This time the wind did not take away the sultry feeling at all, but instead made people feel a little irritated.

Looking down from a high place, the familiar street scene did not calm the emotional fluctuations.

"Today's Canghai City is a bit strange."

The captain suddenly said

"Um? What's strange? Brownie said doubtfully.

"I always feel like time flies by so fast... Not only that……"

(Captain: This Canghai City is different from what I remember. Is it an illusion?)

"Come walk with me first, maybe there are some clues here."

Everyone found some clues on the rooftop.

Suddenly, a group of monsters appeared.

After a battle, they were easily solved.

Then, everyone discovered that there were special energy fluctuations on the street and needed to investigate.

They came to a forest.

"That's right, the strange fluctuation I felt was... this location."

Xilin said.

In front of everyone, there was a cloud of purple mist covering the ground, and there seemed to be some metal parts inside.

"In my memory, there has never been anything like this in Canghai City."

The captain frowned.

"I think that maybe this world has been transformed by others, so it is different from what the captain remembers."

Rita guessed

"Does it match what was discussed before?"

"This world bubble should have been destroyed, but now it is still existing. It is probably because [Yue Xia] has done something to it. Brownie said

"But... what kind of transformation is needed to make this world bubble last longer? asked Rita

"is a good question"

"Instead of thinking hard here, it would be better to study this strange device first."

As he said this, Brownie pointed to the device in front of him.

"I think it's better not to touch it yet."

Silin suggested

"Um……？"

Brownie's expression changed.

Suddenly, the city of Canghai seemed to start shaking violently, and the sky became gloomy. The sultry day before turned into a cool night.

——It coincides with that night

"I told you not to touch it!"

Xilin said angrily

"Hey, let me tell you in advance, I didn't do anything."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Brownie said aggrievedly

……

【Bronya:"I'm sure Brownie touched it.""】

【Kiana:"Why? Does Brownie look so dishonest?"】

【The Lawyer of Consciousness:"Don’t ask, ask and it’s intuition!"】[]

【Fu Hua:"I feel like it might be Rita, it looks a bit strange."】

【Velvet:"Is this device so magical? Can it actually change the color of the sky?"】

【Teresa:"Is it possible that it’s not just as simple as changing the sky?"】

……

"Is this thing a device that controls time? asked the captain

"Do you want to check it out? Brownie suggested.

As he spoke, he reached out and knocked on the device in front of him. Unfortunately, there was no change.

"Maybe we can't control it"

"Since the change between day and night occurs suddenly, those residents must also notice it"

"To be on the safe side, let’s go back to the place we visited before and investigate."

"first……"

"Just go to the alley where the kid mentioned seeing the mysterious man with red eyes."

Then everyone returned to the alley.

They saw the little boy destroying the ladder.

"Hey, kid, aren’t you going to play with your friends?"

"Why are you here?"

Brownie looked at the little boy in confusion.

"Eh? who are you?"

The little boy looked at everyone doubtfully.

"Hello kids, do you need help?"

The captain suddenly asked

"Ahhhhhh...who are you?! Scared me."

The little boy exclaimed

"Don’t you recognize us? asked the captain

"We've never met! Mom told me not to talk to strangers!"

The little boy looked at everyone with some fear.

"We saved you. Look, this is the Homu coin you gave us."

The captain took the Homu coin from Brownie and showed it to the little boy.

"This...this is my Homu coin...how come it's in your hand? There's a ghost!"

The little boy screamed and disappeared deep into the alley.

"Strange, he... doesn't seem to recognize us?"

Xilin said doubtfully.

"Could it be because he encountered some unexpected incident on the way here?"

The captain guessed

……

【Alicia:"Did you say you lost your memory?"】

【Kiana:"That's not right. How can you know about the Homu coin if you have lost your memory?""】

【Herrscher of Knowledge:"I know! It must be because of the problem with that device!"】

【Theresa:"Everyone can see this, can you tell me something that people don’t know?"】

【Youlandel:"It's hard to tell what's going on just based on the little boy."】

【Padofelis:"I feel like the little boy's personality has changed. He even destroyed the stairs just now."】

……

Later, everyone came to the place where they met the drunk man

"Drink...I can still drink……"

The drunken man was still there.

The man in front of him was swaying, his eyes were red, and he looked a little scary at this night.

"Hey, look, that guy in front looks a little familiar."

Brownie pointed at the drunk man and said

"It seems to be the person blocking the way that we helped him find something before."

"It was quite scary to see him like this in the middle of the night. The child couldn't have been frightened by him."

Xi Lin guessed

"But why did he come back?"

The captain was a little confused.

"Several people were a little strange before...What happened?"

Brownie was a little confused.

Everyone decided to follow the drunk man

"see it?

Brownie said. Celine:"

I saw it, I saw it, that guy dropped something again."

Captain:"Why do I think those two things he dropped?"……"

"It seems that we gave it to him during the day, Captain."

Rita said

"What exactly is going on……"

"Why did what happened before happen again?"

Celine was a little confused.

Brownie:"What's even more strange is that everyone turned a blind eye to the day and night switch that just happened."

……

【Teresa:"Wow, this world is really scary.……"】

【Youlandel:"Sure enough, this situation can only be explained by changing the time."】

【Einstein:"And time has changed forward, which means everyone has returned to the previous time.……"】

【Padofelis:"It’s terrifying to think about it!"】

【Ji Zi:"It seems interesting. Could it be the power of the Final Cocoon?!"】

【Fu Hua:"It's unlikely.……"】

……

A strange world, reversed day and night, reset memories, rumors used to divert attention...

(Captain: So that's it... Damn it, why did I realize it now?)

"I think time is not pushed to today's evening, but back to yesterday's evening."

The captain suddenly said

"Are you saying that the function of that device is to take us back in time?"

Xilin said in surprise

"No, turning back time is inherently difficult to do, and it has no effect on world stability."

"Captain, when you met Theresa, you were observing the world, right?"

"And I also had an experience similar to [time back]. asked Brownie

"Yes, through conscious projection, I experienced that night several times, but in the end I failed to reach a perfect ending."

The captain regretted

"Sure enough, it is somewhat similar to the one with the stargazing lady."

"So based on these experiences, I have a bold guess——"

"The function of that device, is it possible that the way you implement [Time Backtracking] is similar to how you, Captain, just set the time anchor at a certain time period and experience this period of time infinitely to avoid reaching that destructive ending?"

Brownie guessed

"possible"

"In this world, cooking skills may be in a cyclical state"

"As that device operates, at some point everything is reset back to where it started."

The captain said suddenly.
