Enigmatic
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
EnigmaticVideo Summary: Who's whispering in my ear.
Story Description: Under the influence of the anomalous Miasma, everyone seems to be seeing disturbing visions...
- The abnormal Miasma here is so thick, it's almost impossible to breathe.
After pushing forward for a while, you find yourselves staring at something that feels more like a hallucination than reality... 
- Ye Shunguang: What... is this?
- Zhao: You're seeing it too? I thought I was hallucinating.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That sphere... it looks familiar somehow. I think I've seen it before...That sphere... it looks familiar somehow. I think I've seen it before... /
That sphere-looking thing... it looks kind of familiar somehow. I feel like I've seen it before...That sphere-looking thing... it looks kind of familiar somehow. I feel like I've seen it before...) - Lockspring: If I'm guessing right, that was probably a shared hallucination caused by the high concentration of Miasma in the area.
- Lockspring: Unfortunately, as a Bangboo, I don't see any of it.
- Ye Shunguang: So it is an illusion... It just looks so strange.
- Ye Shunguang: I can't shake this feeling... like there's something dangerous festering inside that sphere...
- Zhao: Funny, I was thinking the same thing...The air this thing gives off is so ominous, unsettling. Just... disgusting.
- ???: ...How much longer can you keep this up, my dear child?
- ???: Why do you keep struggling through this hopeless swamp?
- ???: Give up now. Your very existence was a beautiful mistake — and everything you've done to correct that mistake has only made it worse.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Did you guys... hear anything weird?
- Ye Shunguang: I'm hearing it too! That voice... it sounds familiar!
- Zhao: I heard it too. That voice... it's my own.
- Zhao: Dialyn and Banyue mentioned they once heard voices that sounded like their own in Lemnian Hollow. This must be the same thing.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I was also there... But I didn't hear anything at the time.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): And I didn't hear my own voice just now... it sounded more like Sarah's voice.
- Zhao: Maybe it's because the abnormal Miasma concentration here is higher.
- Zhao: Or maybe this area has some kind of special connection to you... After all, your teacher's phantom also showed up here.
In the Dark Depths
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
In the Dark DepthsVideo Summary: Who's whispering in my ear.
Story Description: After the illusion fades, Ye Shunguang feels a bit dizzy. The abnormal Miasma here is unusually dense. She plans to start purifying it, but Lockspring warns everyone there is a security bot with long-range firepower inside the factory.
- After a while, the strange visions and whispers finally subside...
- Zhao: Hmph. As if these cheap gimmicks could shake me...
- What did you just hear?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So, what did (all of you hear exactly?all of you hear exactly? /
you all hear just now?you all hear just now?) - Zhao: Just a bunch of empty words, poking at our weak spots. Too bad for them — anyone who's really faced despair doesn't crumble that easily.
- Ye Shunguang: Mm...
- Xiao'Guang, you okay?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang, you okay? Are you feeling sick?
- Ye Shunguang: N—No, I'm fine! Just got a little dizzy all of a sudden. Probably because of that weird illusion earlier.
- Lockspring: It's normal for a human body to feel a little disoriented right after experiencing hallucinations.
- Zhao: Looks like the abnormal miasma we purified before was only the tip of the iceberg... No wonder the last round only slowed the Hollow's growth.
- Zhao: The Hollow's pushing up against Failume Heights. Probably because those black flowers finally made their way into the city.
- Ye Shunguang: If the people in the city get exposed to the Miasma for too long, they'll be in danger. I need to start purifying this right away!
- You should keep an eye on your condition.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Either way, you should really keep an eye on your condition.
- Lockspring: Don't panic, everyone. If I remember correctly, there's a long-range security bot posted up ahead.
- Lockspring: We'll need to sneak past its field of view first.
- (The Miasma-afflicted Terror Raptor goes on alert)
- (Ongoing)
- Ye Shunguang: We can't go on like this...
- Ye Shunguang: We need to pick our moment and get past before the attack lands!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): This thing is really trying to keep us away from here.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's like it's guarding this factory...
- (Ride the elevator)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): How are you feeling, Xiao'Guang? If you're not well, you need to tell me— don't try to tough it out.
- Ye Shunguang: ...Okay. Don't worry. I'm fine.
- (After repairing the crane)
- Ye Shunguang: Let's try using that Qingming Sword ability from earlier.
- (After crossing the gap)
- Lockspring: Everyone, we need to move fast and shut down that security bot.
- (While fighting the Miasmic Terror Raptor)
- Ye Shunguang: Why is there a security robot in a place like this?
- Lockspring: It's probably the same as me, abandoned for various reasons. Left behind to wander this secluded place...
- Lockspring: After being tainted by the Miasma, it seems to have mistaken this factory for something it must protect... Hm... How pitiful, how absurd.
- (After defeating the robot)
- Ye Shunguang: We need to cleanse these black flowers as soon as possible...
- (Interact with the Anomalous Miasma)
- Xiao'Guang stumbles her way over to the black flower...
Is it because of the vision she saw earlier? She seems a bit worn out... - Zhao: Ye Shunguang, you're looking pretty rough... Are you sure you're okay?
- Ye Shunguang: ...I'm fine.
- Ye Shunguang: I can feel it... the Qingming Sword's resonance is trying to tell me something...
- Ye Shunguang: This black flower in front of us is different from the others!
- Ye Shunguang: It's like... like the "heart" of all the abnormal miasma in this area.
- Ye Shunguang: Once we purify it, all the black flowers around will wither and disappear!
- But you look really tired.
- How about we take a break first?
- Ye Shunguang: N—No... I'm good.
- Ye Shunguang: I can do this. I am the keeper of the Qingming Sword, I must succeed...
- Xiao'Guang slowly raises her sword...
But right at that moment, her body suddenly freezes, as if someone had hit the pause button... - Then, a voice foreign yet familiar suddenly rings out—
- "You trying to die? Not on my watch."
- "Ye Shunguang": "Blood as the bond, soul as the vow... Begone!"
- (The flower is purged)
Simple and Real Happiness
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Simple and Real HappinessVideo Summary: Stop running away.
Story Description: Ye Shunguang comes out again to purify the core dark flower, telling (WiseWise /
- Zhao: So once the core black flower's taken out, the rest of the abnormal Miasma dissipates along with it...
- "Ye Shunguang": There... that should do it.
- "Ye Shunguang" walks up to you and, almost without thinking, leans against your shoulder.
You instinctively wrap an arm around her...
Her warm breath brushes against your ear, soft and ticklish. Just as you try to pull away... - "Ye Shunguang": Don't move. Let me lean on you just for a second... just one second, okay?
- "Ye Shunguang": Every time, I have to come out and take care of things... It's exhausting, you know...
- "Ye Shunguang": I think I've earned a reward or two, don't you?
- I'm surprised you stepped in again.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I thought you had given up on helping us...I thought you had given up on helping us... /
I honestly thought you wouldn't want to help anymore...I honestly thought you wouldn't want to help anymore...) - "Ye Shunguang": It's true. I didn't want to do this. But she... she's unyielding.
- "Ye Shunguang": Unfortunately, I can only exist with her alive. So I can't just let her be. If something happened to her...
- "Ye Shunguang": Then I'd never get to see my adorable little junior again, would I?
- "Ye Shunguang": Still, my power has its limits. Don't forget what I told you before.
- "Ye Shunguang" gives you one last, long look...
Then Xiao'Guang returns to her usual self. - Ye Shunguang: ...
- Are you okay?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (You alright? Looks like purifying that Miasma really takes a toll on you. Maybe we should look for an alternative way...You alright? Looks like purifying that Miasma really takes a toll on you. Maybe we should look for an alternative way... /
Are you sure you're okay? Purifying the Miasma is draining you, right? Maybe we should figure out another way...Are you sure you're okay? Purifying the Miasma is draining you, right? Maybe we should figure out another way...) - Ye Shunguang: No, really — it's fine. I'm just a little tired. I know my own body.
- Ye Shunguang: Besides... I can feel it. The Qingming Sword's resonating with something in this area...
- Ye Shunguang: Like Zhao said earlier — the sword must be tied to whatever's going on with Lemnian Hollow. If that's true, then... this is something only the sword wielder, me, can handle.
- Ye Shunguang: It's my duty. I can't run from it — I don't want to anymore.
- But...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Still... I don'tStill... I don't /
But... I really don'tBut... I really don't) want all this to come at the cost of your health. (That's too high a price to pay, for anyone.That's too high a price to pay, for anyone. / That price is too heavy — too cruel.That price is too heavy — too cruel.) - Ye Shunguang: Junior, do you remember when we wandered through Failume Heights? The smell of coffee at the street corner, the sound of children laughing?
- Ye Shunguang: Residents there playing mahjong, the tong sui shops, all those soft and sweet treats... All that simple, ordinary happiness, it was real.
- Ye Shunguang: If I can, I want to protect all that. At least, I want to try.
- Ye Shunguang: For the first time in what feels like forever, I can finally feel what it is I truly want.
- There is still a trace of exhaustion on Xiao'Guang's face, but her eyes are shining, so clear and so bright that for a moment they remind you of what "Ye Shunguang" just said.
There's no mistaking it: she is being serious. Maybe more serious than she's ever been before.
In front of a heart that pure and sincere, words feel clumsy, useless — almost an interruption. - Zhao: No offense, but the people you're trying so hard to protect... they probably don't even know you exist. They'll never know what you've given up for them.
- Zhao: And even so, you're still okay with that?
- Ye Shunguang: Yes! I'm not doing this for anything in return. I just... want to make that decision for myself!
- Zhao: You're really... Never mind. If you're willing to help, that's good news for everyone.
- Zhao: Let's stay focused — we still need to investigate what's going on with the Miasma here. Lockspring, got any new leads?
- Lockspring: If I'm remembering correctly, there should be even more abnormal Miasma deeper inside the factory. There might even be another "core black flower" like the one we saw earlier.
- Zhao: In that case, let's keep moving ahead.
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang, please take good care of yourself... You remember the promise we made, right?
- Ye Shunguang: I do. Don't worry. I remember.
- Ye Shunguang: No matter what, I'll be right there by your side... I'll keep doing my best.
- (Approach the fissure beacon)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): This is... some kind of strange statue? Why would something like this be here...?
- (Interact with the Strange Statue)
- You walk up to a strange statue...
- Ye Shunguang: This statue looks like it's... commemorating someone?
- Ye Shunguang: There's also a wing-shaped pattern painted on the wall behind...
- Zhao: The story that unfolded in this area must've been quite intriguing, considering the marks it left behind.
- Ye Shunguang: ...Story? Miss Zhao, what kind of story are you seeing here?
- Zhao: The statue's head is missing, and its body is badly damaged. This doesn't look like natural wear and tear from time.
- Zhao: The patterns on the wall behind have been graffitied... and it wasn't exactly in a friendly way.
- Zhao: And over there, those abandoned posters were torn up by someone with clear hatred.
- Zhao: Following this line of thought, there can only be two possibilities—
- Zhao: First possibility: two opposing forces once existed here. Some people believed in what the statue represented, while others rejected it.
- Zhao: As for the second case, the people who built the statue and those who destroyed it were actually the same group.
- Zhao: Then, after an unknown event, the people who once worshipped the statue changed and began to attack everything it represented.
- Lockspring: ...
- Lockspring: If I'm not mistaken, this statue commemorates Lady Sunbringer.
- The first-generation Void Hunter Sunbringer...?
- She's been here before?
- Lockspring: That's right.
- Zhao: ...How do you know about this?
- Lockspring: Sorry, I didn't have the chance to tell you all before. Although my memory module is damaged, I still remember...
- Lockspring: I come from a very special place.
- Lockspring: A utopian island floating above New Eridu: Roscaelifer.
- Zhao: ...
- Ye Shunguang: I've never heard of that name before... What kind of place is it? Is it very different from Waifei Peninsula?
- Lockspring: If I had to put it into words, it might not be as lively as Waifei Peninsula, but it's definitely more peaceful and serene.
- Lockspring: In Roscaelifer, there live people and Bangboo like me who have received Lady Sunbringer's kindness.
- Lockspring: I heard some rumors over there.
- Lockspring: If you're all up for it, I can tell you a story.
- Lockspring: A story about... salvation and betrayal.
About Value
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
About ValueVideo Summary: Those long-buried stories.
Story Description: Lockspring tells the story of how Sunbringer was once taken advantage of. Zhao argues that relationships between people have always been built solely on exchanges of value. Ye Shunguang disagrees. In the end, the group decides to continue their exploration inside the factory.
- Lockspring: I mentioned before, Lady Sunbringer loved humanity more deeply than anyone else ever could.
- Lockspring: But that love... didn't bring her the love and respect she deserved in return.
- Lockspring: Lemnian Hollow is rich in Porcelume, which comes from Lumite ore.
- Lockspring: Long ago, long before people realized the true value hidden in Lumite ore, Lady Sunbringer was already studying it.
- Lockspring: She discovered that a substance extracted from the ore could effectively resist Ether corruption, so she led the people of her time to mine it together.
- Lockspring: But humans always find reasons to fight. Maybe she stood out too much, maybe jealousy took root, or maybe someone simply didn't like her for no particular reason...
- Lockspring: Anyway... One day, she discovered a huge underground pit beneath this very mountain. Something secret seemed buried down there.
- Lockspring: But just as she was about to enter that pit herself to continue her research... those who envied her finally made their move. They had long been plotting to make her disappear.
- Lockspring: The story ends abruptly here. The last record simply reads: "The erupting Miasma swallowed everything." The once-stable Miasma suddenly erupted.
- Ye Shunguang: What?! Wait... What happened to Lady Sunbringer in the end?
- Lockspring: As far as I know, she went missing.
- Lockspring: But I've also heard of a different version of this story: as Lady Sunbringer was preparing to lead people into the pit to mine more Lumite ore, Lemnian Hollow suddenly started to expand violently.
- Lockspring: During the disaster, Lady Sunbringer did everything she could to save everyone. But later, the survivors turned on her, claiming she was the one who caused it all. They said her mining had angered the Hollow and demanded that she disappear.
- Lockspring: Of course, these are all just old rumors. The truth's long been lost to time, and probably holds very little value for us now.
- Zhao: If the story is true, then that mine in front of us might really be the same one, with the "deep pit" she found...
- Zhao: And if this area's tied to her, maybe this abnormal Miasma is, too?
- Lockspring: Actually, that's my theory too. Perhaps that's why I've lingered here... I can still sense traces of my creator's presence all around this place.
- Lockspring: After being treated like that by those she loves, it's only natural for Lady Sunbringer to resent them and turn to the other side of humanity.
- Zhao: Betrayed by the ones she loved, then turns into the big villain... stories like that are pretty common.
- Ye Shunguang: But... But Lady Sunbringer was one of the first Void Hunters! Would someone like her really do something like that?
- Zhao: The Void Hunter is just a title. People are fickle by nature.
- Ye Shunguang: Miss Zhao... how should I put this? You sound kind of... pessimistic about people.
- Zhao: ...
- Zhao: The strongest bond between people is always "value," isn't it?
- Zhao: Those people wanted Sunbringer gone because her "value" changed — from "positive" to "negative."
- Zhao: Naturally, Sunbringer saw their true colors, and acted accordingly, in her own best interest.
- Zhao: When those people no longer held any value to her, why should she keep protecting them, leading them?
- Zhao: Mercy and compassion, those aren't "human" traits. They belong to "gods." And as amazing as the Void Hunter was, she was never a god, was she?
- Ye Shunguang: But... if that's true, doesn't that mean there's never been any real "love" between people at all?
- Ye Shunguang: If everything's just an exchange of value, then of course people will always turn their backs on each other, for all sorts of reasons... and the world will always be full of conflict and ugliness.
- Ye Shunguang: But then... if that's the case what kind of hellish world are we even living in?
- Zhao: This world is hell. If you can't see it that way, maybe it's because someone built a lovely, comfy glass dome for you to live under.
- Ye Shunguang: ...
- The air between Zhao and Xiao'Guang suddenly turns tense...
What to do...? - (Better find a way to smooth things over...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Uh... you both make very reasonable arguments. Still, there's no proof Sunbringer's story is even real... Let's not argue over it...Uh... you both make very reasonable arguments. Still, there's no proof Sunbringer's story is even real... Let's not argue over it... /
Uh... you both make fair points, but come on — Sunbringer's story might not even be real. Let's not fight over it...Uh... you both make fair points, but come on — Sunbringer's story might not even be real. Let's not fight over it...) - Ye Shunguang: S—Sorry...
- Zhao: ...Why are you apologizing? I'm the one who's been less than nice.
- Ye Shunguang: Oh... is that so?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Uh... you both make very reasonable arguments. Still, there's no proof Sunbringer's story is even real... Let's not argue over it...Uh... you both make very reasonable arguments. Still, there's no proof Sunbringer's story is even real... Let's not argue over it... /
- (A real hero never shies away from conflict!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Miss Zhao's not wrong, but it's a bit too pessimistic. Even when facing something as catastrophic as the Hollow disaster, people have managed to hold on till now. It doesn't necessarily come down to gain or value.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We're emotional beings by nature. Sympathy, compassion, that ache you feel when you see someone suffer... those feelings aren't exclusive to gods. They belong to humans, too. Because we have those feelings, not everything is merely transactional.
- Ye Shunguang: That's beautiful, Junior!
- Zhao: Hah, that's a sly way to put it... But fine. I wasn't planning to convince you anyway.
- Zhao: Until you've seen the deepest darkness yourself, it's only natural you'd keep clinging to such silly hopes.
- Lockspring: I didn't expect my story to stir up such a debate. My apologies.
- Lockspring: It really is just an old tale of uncertain origin. Please don't take it too seriously.
- Lockspring: What I am certain of is that there's still a lot of abnormal Miasma inside the factory. The source we're looking for is very likely to be there.
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), I have a quick update: thanks to everyone's efforts, the black flowers in Failume Heights are now under control, but Lemnian Hollow is still expanding. - (SiblingSibling): According to our calculations, it's most likely because of the high concentration of abnormal Miasma... We'll have to leave that to you.
- Ye Shunguang: We just arrived near the factory. What we're looking for is probably right in there... we'd better hurry!
- Lockspring: Right. Let's find a way to get in the factory first.
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Based on Lockspring's story, it's gonna be even more dangerous inside the factory...
- Ye Shunguang: If we can purify the abnormal Miasma in the factory, it'll put a stop to the Hollow expansion for sure!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang's right... but we (need toneed to /
gottagotta) be extra careful.
- (While fighting the Miasmic - Heavy Striker and Miasmic - Lightfoot Rover)
- Lockspring: Everyone, please be careful. There are more security bots here.
- Ye Shunguang: ...I can feel... The Qingming Sword resonating...
- Ye Shunguang: It's inside the factory! There must be even stronger abnormal miasma in there...
- (After defeating the robots)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's check out the entrance to the (nearby factory.nearby factory. /
factory nearby.factory nearby.)
- (Interact with the Entrance Gate)
- You try pushing open the factory door... it's locked.
- (Looking closely, the door seems to be connected to three different consoles...)
- (If I can find and hack the three consoles, that should open it up!)
Phantoms of the Past
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Phantoms of the PastVideo Summary: For that possibility.
Story Description: Before entering the factory, Ye Shunguang Ye Shunguang [sic] catches sight of a phantom of Teacher Carole. However, something seemed off with Shunguang's body, possibly due to the intensifying backlash from the Qingming Sword.
- Ye Shunguang: ...
- Xiao'Guang, you okay?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Xiao'Guang? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?Xiao'Guang? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? /
Xiao'Guang? Hey, are you okay? You don't look so good again.Xiao'Guang? Hey, are you okay? You don't look so good again.) - Ye Shunguang: I think I'm seeing... something strange. Is it because of the Miasma?
- Zhao: What are you seeing?
- Ye Shunguang: I'm seeing... a lady. She looks like a researcher? Slim, glasses, hair tied back... and horns, she's probably a Thiren...
- Ye Shunguang: She seems kind. Like she's researching something here... Wait, I think she just mentioned the Qingming Sword? And...
- Ye Shunguang: Junior's name?
- That description sounds like...
- You're seeing Carole?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That description matches my teacher, Carole... But why would you be seeing her?That description matches my teacher, Carole... But why would you be seeing her? /
That sounds just like my teacher, Carole... But wait — why would you suddenly see her?That sounds just like my teacher, Carole... But wait — why would you suddenly see her?) And how does she know about the sword? - Ye Shunguang: Who's Carole?
- Zhao: That Miasma vision we saw the first time we came here — it was her, right? I remember her.
- Zhao: ...Wait... Have you forgotten about it already?
- Ye Shunguang: ...!
- Ye Shunguang: I just spaced out for a second — But once you said it, I remembered right away!
- Ye Shunguang: Hmm...
- Something's not right.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang, you don't look (soso) well. It's likely the sword's effects are getting stronger.
- Ye Shunguang: Don't worry. I just need to rest for a little...
- Ye Shunguang: How about you go figure out how to open the factory gate first? Really, I'll be fine after a short break...
- Zhao: This place should be safe enough. So... Proxy, what do you say?
- Lockspring: Since Miss Xiao'Guang could see your teacher's phantom, there could be clues about her in there.
- Lockspring: And about the abnormal Miasma... Either way, the factory is worth checking out.
- ...Xiao'Guang, you should stay here for now.
- I'll find a way inside the factory.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (There'sThere's /
Alright, there'sAlright, there's) no other option. Xiao'Guang, stay put. Miss Zhao, please keep an eye on her. I'll find a way into the factory... I'll be right back! - Ye Shunguang: Sounds good! Don't worry. I'll be right here waiting for you.

- (Repair the third console)

- (The gate opens and the group heads inside, encountering Carole Arna's illusion once again)
- Carole: This power... feels oddly familiar. Like that cursed blade — "Tailless"...
- Carole: ...You mean the Qingming Sword from Yunkui Summit? Yes, I know the side effects it has...
- Carole: I see. Then maybe... maybe it could actually fix what's wrong with that sword
- Carole: But the cost of that "weapon"... it isn't...
Clue of the Qingming Sword
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Clue of the Qingming SwordVideo Summary: For that possibility.
Story Description: Carole's phantom mentions the Qingming Sword and may hold clues to countering its backlash. (WiseWise /
- If what you heard was right, then she does know more about the Qingming Sword!
If that's true, then maybe there's still hope for curing Xiao'Guang! - Lockspring: Looks like that Miasma vision was really your teacher. And she probably knows quite a bit about the Qingming Sword...
- Lockspring: Should we go after her? Maybe we'll learn something useful.
- I'm going to check it out.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Either way,Either way,) I've gotta check it out. It looks like my Teacher might know how to stop the Qingming Sword's effects... (And that's worth the risk.And that's worth the risk. /
That alone makes it worth a try.That alone makes it worth a try.) - Ye Shunguang: But the abnormal Miasma is really thick in there! If you go in, it could be dangerous...
- But I want to help you.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I want to help you — just like you're trying to help everyone else.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Miss Zhao, please keep an eye on Xiao'Guang for me.Miss Zhao, please keep an eye on Xiao'Guang for me. /
Miss Zhao, I'm counting on you to take care of Xiao'Guang for a bit.Miss Zhao, I'm counting on you to take care of Xiao'Guang for a bit.) - Zhao: I can do that. No problem.
- Ye Shunguang: But...
- Lockspring: I'm coming with you. Don't worry. I know the layout in there pretty well. As long as we avoid the Miasma, we should be fine.
- Ye Shunguang: Alright... but you have to be careful!
- (Ongoing)
- ???: "Do you want to know the truth about the Qingming Sword? Do you want to save her? I can help you."
- (Listen to Carole Arna)
- Carole: The cost of that "weapon"... will always be so heavy.
- Carole: But this is for the greater good... For the last spark of humanity...
- Carole: Someone has to make that choice. I know.
- (Ongoing)
- ???: "Whether it's the cursed blade Tailless or the Qingming Sword... they both carry sinister secrets."
- (Approach the illusion)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That's the target, right?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's go take a look.
- (Listen to Carole Arna)
- Carole: Salvation, or destruction...
- Carole: Belle, Wise... my precious children. By the time you learn the truth, I'll probably be long gone.
- Carole: But you two... you will survive.
- (Ongoing)
- Lockspring: There are more illusions over there. Let's keep moving.
- (Approach the illusion)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Found it! The target is right there!
- (Listen to Carole Arna)
- Carole: You know why. For those two kids, I have to do it.
- Carole: It's the only way to pay the least in exchange for the greatest...
- Carole: I know. I know what you mean, I do — but...
- (Teacher has been here before... What did she mean by all that?!)
- (Weapons, the Qingming Sword... is she referring to the weapons used by the Void Hunters? But being a Void Hunter is just an honorary title from the mayor... No, this isn't the time to think about that right now.)
- (Since Teacher knows about the Qingming Sword, could she know how to prevent its side effects? If so... that would be good for Xiao'Guang!)
- (Teacher also mentioned (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) and me by name. She even knew she might be in danger...?!) - (What exactly happened back then? What did she mean by "pay the least," and what was it that Teacher wanted in exchange?)
- (Urgh, no, my head's a mess...)
- Lockspring: Are you okay? Need to take a break?
- ...
- I'm fine.
- Lockspring: Looks like your teacher's keeping something from you.
- Lockspring: Everyone has secrets; it's only natural.
- If Teacher knows about the Qingming Sword...
- Her knowledge might help Xiao'Guang!
- Lockspring: Based on what I know about these Miasma illusions, we might find more info on your teacher if we keep moving forward.
- Lockspring: If you wish to know, we can check what's behind that door.
- (Interact with the Roller Grille Shutter, optional)
- (There's still one mechanism that hasn't been activated. Let's look around some more.)
- (Interact with the Elevator Control Terminal, optional)
- The device controlling the factory elevator seems to require special clearance to operate... (Come back after accepting a commission to explore the factory's hidden past.)
- (Interact with the Generator)
- (This mechanism is connected to a large generator. Let's power it up now.)
- Turn on
- (Unnatural trilling can be heard from the room)

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
One Last TimeVideo Summary: She'll be gone eventually.
Story Description: After purifying the black flower, "Ye Shunguang" became extremely weak. She says she will eventually merge with Shunguang. She bid farewell to (WiseWise /
- Not doing what she always does, "Ye Shunguang" stays unusually quiet.
Her body feels so light. Even though she is leaning against your shoulder, it's like she isn't really there. Like she could fade away at any second.
After a moment, she finally speaks — her voice so faint it nearly dissolves into the wind... - I didn't think goodbye would come this soon.
- "Ye Shunguang" gives a weak smile. No trace of her usual mischief or playfulness — the emotions on her face are simple... pure...
Her hand comes up to touch your face again, soft, but cold as frost. - "Ye Shunguang": I never expected you'd be the hardest to let go of.
- ...What do you mean?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What are you saying?! You... you're scaring me...
- "Ye Shunguang": My strength's almost depleted. I... I probably won't be able to see you like this again.
- I don't get it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I... I don't (understandunderstand /
get itget it). What do you mean you won't be able to see me again? Are you going away? - "Ye Shunguang": It's not as bad as it sounds. In a way, I'm just about to become one with her...
- "Ye Shunguang": Like I said — "we" can only live with her alive.
- "Ye Shunguang": Although her condition isn't looking great either. Too bad... I can't help her much anymore.
- "Ye Shunguang" lifts her gaze, her crimson eyes meeting yours.
- "Ye Shunguang": Junior, meeting you... really was something incredible.
- "Ye Shunguang": You know, when she sensed you were in danger and rushed over like an idiot... I could've stopped her.
- "Ye Shunguang": I'm not like her. I don't want to be a hero. I don't want to save anyone. All I ever wanted was to live, or... At least, that's what I used to think.
- "Ye Shunguang": But in that moment, our hearts were completely in sync. All I could think was — no matter what it takes, I have to save you.
- "Ye Shunguang": I guess that's why I'm finally able to make peace with her... After all, we're always one and the same — it's just like water returning to its source.
- "Ye Shunguang": When I stepped in front of you, I finally understood something...
- "Ye Shunguang": Maybe... love isn't a curse after all. It's... a kind of strength.
- "Ye Shunguang": What I'm about to say... that coward could've never told you. But I can.
- "Ye Shunguang" speaks softly, in a voice only the two of you can hear...
- "Ye Shunguang": Don't you dare forget me... Junior.
- "Ye Shunguang": Even if you meet better people, see brighter worlds, you must remember me, always.
- "Ye Shunguang" gives you one last look...
In the next moment, Xiao'Guang returns to normal. But she just stands there, silent — like a delicate doll that has lost its soul.
A chill unlike anything you've ever felt grips your heart in an instant... - Xiao'Guang, are you okay?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang? (Can you hear me?Can you hear me? /
Hey...Hey...) Are you feeling okay? - Ye Shunguang: ...
- No matter how many times you call her name, Xiao'Guang doesn't respond at all.
- Zhao: ...I think she's been hiding how bad things are. She's already reached the final stage of the Qingming Sword's corruption. She probably can't even hear us anymore.
- Zhao waves a hand in front of her face, but Xiao'Guang doesn't react.
- Zhao: Her vision's almost gone too.
- Ye Shunguang: ...
- Xiao'Guang, remember our promise?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang, can you hear me? (You remember our promise, right?You remember our promise, right? /
Remember what we promised?Remember what we promised?) You said — no matter what happens — (whenever I look over, I'll see you right there beside me...whenever I look over, I'll see you right there beside me... / every time I turn around, you'll be right there beside me...every time I turn around, you'll be right there beside me...) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (You made a promise, remember?! You can't just break it... Don't... don't leave like this...You made a promise, remember?! You can't just break it... Don't... don't leave like this... /
You pinky-swore, remember?! You can't go back on that... You can't just... just leave me like this...You pinky-swore, remember?! You can't go back on that... You can't just... just leave me like this...) - Ye Shunguang: ...
- Xiao'Guang's eyelashes tremble faintly, like she is fighting hard and desperately against some endless darkness.
But that tiny spark of movement soon fades, leaving behind only stillness. - Zhao: In her current state, no matter what we do, it won't change anything.
- Zhao: I know it hurts. But now you have to stay calm...
- I get it, but...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I know what you're trying to say. But... Xiao'Guang ended up like this because of me. It's (allall) my fault. If I'd just paid more attention... It's all because of me!
- Zhao: You know that's not true.
- Zhao: Even if this hadn't happened to you, she still would've pushed herself to the limit with that sword just to protect everyone. That's just who she is. And you know that better than anyone.
- Zhao: There's no time for blaming yourself. What matters now is what we do next.
- Zhao: Don't forget — You're our Proxy here. Whatever happens next, we still need you to guide us...
- Zhao: And... take her home.
- ...Take her home.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Take her home... Yes — right, I (mustmust /
gottagotta) take her home! - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Once we get back, we'll figure something out. There has to be (a way to save you... I just know it!a way to save you... I just know it! /
another way... There always is.another way... There always is.)
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Found (it.it. /
it!it!) The nearest fissure is on the other side of the factory. We can get there using the elevator. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's that way. Let's hurry!
- Zhao: Excellent. That's the Phaethon I know.
- (Exit the elevator)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The fissure is right there! Let's go!
- (Approach the fissure)

- And then, for some reason, Xiao'Guang, who has been silent all this time, suddenly speaks.

- Xiao'Guang?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang?! (Can you hear me? How do you feel?Can you hear me? How do you feel? /
Can you hear me now? How are you feeling?Can you hear me now? How are you feeling?) - Ye Shunguang: Junior? Miss Zhao? Lockspring...? Where are you?
- Zhao: ...Her senses haven't come back. She probably can't even sense our presence right now.
- Ye Shunguang: It's so dark here... I can't see anything... can't hear anything either...
- Ye Shunguang: There's nothing here but... dead silence.
- Hang in there!
- I'm taking you home! Now!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Just hang in there, Xiao'Guang... I'm getting you home now!
- Ye Shunguang: Junior... is that you? I think I just heard you...
- Ye Shunguang: I'm sorry. It looks like I won't be able to keep our promise after all... We made a deal — when you turn around, I'll always be there for you...
- Ye Shunguang: If possible, I don't want to be a senior who breaks her word.
- Ye Shunguang: You once said, if I were in pain, you'd feel it too...
- Ye Shunguang: Don't worry. I don't feel any pain now! I'm just... a little scared — only a little bit, really!
- Ye Shunguang: ...I wish I could see you all now...
- You're going to be okay.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (You're going to be okay — I know you will. The fissure's right in front of us... Let's go!You're going to be okay — I know you will. The fissure's right in front of us... Let's go! /
You're gonna be okay, I promise. The fissure's right ahead... Let's go!You're gonna be okay, I promise. The fissure's right ahead... Let's go!) - But after saying a few words, Xiao'Guang falls silent again for some reason.
Anxious, you lead everyone toward the fissure...

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's all thanks to Xiao'Guang. She's the one who cleared out the abnormal Miasma.
- Zhao: But... she paid a really heavy price for it.
- Zhao: ...How's she doing now?
- Still about the same as before.

- Zhao: Actually, I...
- Zhao stays silent for a long time, as if she's about to say something, but a familiar voice interrupts her...
- Dialyn: Senior Zhao! So this is where you've been! We've been looking for you everywhere!
- Dialyn: And you too, Proxy~ It's been such a long time!
- Zhao: Dialyn... and Banyue? Why are you—
- Banyue: Krampus issued an emergency summons, ordering us to return immediately.
- Dialyn: It's probably because of Lemnian Hollow. Looks like Krampus is planning something big~
- Zhao: ...I see.
- Zhao: Proxy, about Ye Shunguang... If there's anything I can help with, just let me know.
- Zhao: And... a lot of people are after the power of the Qingming Sword. If anything happens to her, they won't hesitate to take advantage of it.
- Zhao: That's all I can say.
- Thank you.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Thank you, Miss Zhao. I'll keep an eye on things.
- Dialyn: Huh? Senior Zhao, who's always been a firm believer in fair exchange, giving out important info for free...?
- Dialyn: So, Senior Zhao, are you still a "meat-eating rabbit"? Or have you turned into a carrot lover—
- Zhao: Let's go. I don't want to be late.
- Miss Zhao pulls the still-chattering Dialyn and the helpless-looking Banyue along as she quickly leaves...
You walk Xiao'Guang back to her room...
