Dialogue
Den of Filth
- (Idle)
- Fired-up Worker: We can't let Porcelumex get away with it this time!
- Enraged Worker: That's right! We need to fight for compensation!
- Stern Worker: They've gone too far this time!
- Optimistic Worker: Dr. Lohr and the others already have proof!
- Optimistic Worker: Now there's concrete evidence about the production accident!
- Stern Worker: Alright, it's time to protest against Porcelumex.
- NPC 1: I heard there's free anti-corruption medicine here...
- NPC 1: The Shifu at Yunkui Summit is so kind-hearted!
- NPC 2: Perfect! The only person I trust right now is the Shifu from Yunkui Summit!
- NPC 2: Their medicine is even free!
- (Talk to Optimistic Worker)
- Optimistic Worker: The Shifu of Yunkui Summit are so kind! They've never forgotten about us, and they're still willing to give us medicine!
- Optimistic Worker: Yeah... they're such nice people!
- Nervous Citizen: C—Can I really take it for free? I have two sick people at home... we're completely broke!
It's okay.- Nervous Citizen: Really?! Thank you, Shifu of Yunkui Summit!

Dark Tides Rising
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Dark Tides Rising"Video Summary: Try to turn the tide before crisis strikes.
Story Description: In the storage device's memory, you locate an Exaltist hideout... You'd better hurry to the Hollow and stop them!
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)! You're back! - (SiblingSibling): I just finished analyzing the data on the flash drive... There's a list detailing who took the Alleviating Water and when.
- (SiblingSibling): I cross-checked the list against the people who've fallen ill in the city... It turns out they were all early recipients of the Alleviating Water.
- (SiblingSibling): Which means... the corruption outbreak wasn't random. The Exaltists planned it from the start.
- I knew it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I knew it! They've been waiting for this moment, using the outbreak to spread their influence and rally people into gathering to protest.
- (SiblingSibling): That's not all. I also found medicine distribution records from Dr. Lohr...
- (SiblingSibling): Turns out he was the one who contaminated the medicine from the beginning, making it ineffective and triggering the corruption outbreak.
- (SiblingSibling): The corruption incident in the Hollow was just a test run.
- (SiblingSibling): Several data observation points in the Hollow have also been marked out.
- (SiblingSibling): I compared them with the documents from the mayor, and they line up exactly with the observation points that had issues. Those areas showed major Miasma fluctuation too.
- (SiblingSibling): I bet the Exaltists were setting something up in the Hollow, that's why they disrupted the observation data to cover their tracks.
- I see...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Unbelievable... the Exaltists have been laying the groundwork in secret, using the Miasma to mask their true objective.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): They even used us to infiltrate the abandoned areas to find evidence, then turned around and weaponized that to fuel protests against Porcelumex... These people are vile.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Oh, can you help me check the current status of those spots with unusual Miasma levels? I've got a feeling one of them might be where the Exaltists are hiding.
- (SiblingSibling): Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! (I've already gone through the list and narrowed it down to one suspicious location.I've already gone through the list and narrowed it down to one suspicious location. /
So, I've checked those locations and narrowed it down to one site that stood out.So, I've checked those locations and narrowed it down to one site that stood out.) - (SiblingSibling): If we head there now, we might be able to catch them!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): If we head there now, we might be able to catch them!
- Good!
- I'll let everyone know!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Good! (We've got 'em this time!We've got 'em this time! /
We've got 'em now!We've got 'em now!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Thanks, (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)! I'll gather everyone and head into the Hollow right away! - (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) gathers everyone and hurriedly explains the situation. - Ju Fufu: What? You found their hideout?
- Ju Fufu: Awesome! It's finally time to storm in there and teach them a lesson!
- Ye Shiyuan: Well done... Shifu made the right call putting you in charge of the plan.
- Pan Yinhu: Yeah! Now that everything's clear, it's time we give them a taste of their own medicine!
- Too bad Shifu can't come with us.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Too bad Shifu can't come with us... Someone's got to stay behind to look after her, too.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Senior, can you stay at Suibian Temple to watch over Shifu and (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)? - Ye Shiyuan: Okay... as much as I'd love to join in and help take those bastards down, if that's your request, I'll stay.
- Ju Fufu: Rest assured, Junior Shiyuan!
- Ju Fufu: I'll make sure to give 'em a few extra punches on your behalf!
- Ju Fufu: Is everyone here? Perfect.
- Ju Fufu: Once we're ready, let's head out to find the Exaltist hideout and teach them a lesson they won't forget.
Let's go! (Enter Battle)
- Ju Fufu: Perfect! I can't wait to show them what I'm made of!
- Wait, not yet.
- Ju Fufu: Give me a shout when you're ready.
- (Talk to Ju Fufu again)
- (Repeat dialogue)

Infiltration

Story Description: The abnormal data in the Hollow shows that the Exaltist base is nearby... You'll need to move carefully and see what they're up to.
- (SiblingSibling): Analysis of the abnormal data shows that the Exaltist hideout should be nearby.
- (SiblingSibling): Careful everyone, there may be an ambush.
- Ju Fufu: Don't worry, we have the upper hand this time! It's time to teach those bad guys a lesson!
- Ju Fufu: Yinhu, let's work together and make sure no one slips through. Especially Dr. Lohr!
- Pan Yinhu: Got it, senior! Leave it to me!
- Ju Fufu: Dr. Lohr must be nearby! We gotta find him!
Eliminate the incoming enemies
- (After defeating all the enemies)
- Ju Fufu: Phew, finally... All clear.

- Pan Yinhu: Shh, keep it down, Senior! You'll scare them off!
- Ju Fufu: Where's Dr. Lohr hiding? I swear he's around here somewhere.
- Ju Fufu: Just wait till I find him! He's gonna get what's coming to him!
Search for Exaltist supplies

The Last Stand
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"The Last Stand"Video Summary: A cornered animal struggles hardest in vain.
Story Description: Dr. Lohr seems quite familiar with your situation. He even knows that Yunkui Summit paid a devastating price to save people back then, and these people from Waifei Peninsula are actually the Old Capital residents that Yunkui Summit saved...
- Dr. Lohr: What a surprise... I didn't think you'd find this place.
- Dr. Lohr: But perfect timing... I wanted Yunkui Summit to witness our great work firsthand! Come, hear the voice of the Creator!
- Ju Fufu: What great work? You're just liars who deceived everyone!
- Ju Fufu: Now, give up and surrender!
- Dr. Lohr: *sigh*... The overseer was right about you, Yunkui Summit never learns. After all these years, you're still blind to the truth.
- Dr. Lohr: After the old capital fell, you saved those people and relocated them in Waifei Peninsula.
- Dr. Lohr: But look at them now... slaving away under TOPS, clinging to survival. Do you think they live dignified lives?
- Dr. Lohr: Many knew the risks of the Alleviating Water, but they still came to us, begging for more... because it let them relive the wonderful past, even just for a little while.
- Dr. Lohr: Yunkui Summit sacrificed an entire generation of disciples, but what did you get in return? Was it really worth it?
- Dr. Lohr: I suggest you mind your own business... otherwise, the tragedy that happened years ago will repeat itself. Not only will you be unable to save people, you will also perish needlessly in the Hollow.
- Ju Fufu: You twisted freak... Stop spouting nonsense!
- Dr. Lohr: So stubborn... You leave me with no choice! Time for you to be reborn through the Creator's refinement!
- Dr. Lohr: Yunkui Summit... Go on, struggle.
- Dr. Lohr: Try as you might, it'll all be for naught.
- (After defeating all enemies)
Dr Lohr's Last Stand
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Dr Lohr's Last Stand"Video Summary: An end to the insane.
Story Description: In desperation, Dr. Lohr calls out for his "overseer" and willingly lets himself be corrupted by the Miasma... Could it be that an Exaltist overseer was hiding here in the Waifei Peninsula?
- The Miasma in the Hollow continues to spread, and Dr. Lohr gradually retreats toward the Miasma as he yells frantically into his communicator.
- Dr. Lohr: Great Overseer! Please witness me!
- Dr. Lohr: I've completed the mission you assigned to me! I've done even more than what you asked for! I will make this ceremony grander than anything you could've imagined!
- Voice From the Communicator: The Overseer has spoken.
- Voice From the Communicator: Now is the perfect time to prove your devotion.
- Dr. Lohr: I hear! I understand... The time has come!
- Dr. Lohr: Overseer Mevorakh! Join the Creator in bearing witness to my refinement!
- Ju Fufu: Wait! What are you doing?
- Dr. Lohr injects the serum into himself and the Miasma envelops him. The Miasma erupts in dancing flames as he vanishes into it with stuttered shrieks—
- May the Creator... refine me...
After Dr. Lohr is corrupted, the surrounding miasma calms.
Meanwhile, somewhere within the Hollow...
