Honkai Impact: You still owe me a dance

On the university campus, after asking around, Seele found out nothing about John Doe.

At most, only one student knew that John Doe had not come to class for more than a month, but there was no news about where he had gone.

"What should I do, Xi'er? I've asked around now, but there's no news about this person, and there's just some vague news."

There are really too few clues now, and the only conclusion Xi'er can draw is that this place is too strange.

"It's so strange. He has been studying here for two years, but almost no one has seen him. Even the people in the department have no impression of him."

"Didn't I just say that? Aren't all people like this? They are only interested in their own affairs, and others have nothing to do with me. Maybe that guy is also a dark person in his heart."

The voice of 'Xie'er' sounded again, seeming to remind Xier of something, but without saying it clearly.

"Why do I always feel that what you said today, Xi'er, has some strange feelings. Are you reminding me of something?"

However, Xi'er still noticed something, but did not ask carefully.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I just think that college students like this are quite funny."

'Xie'er' did not admit it. After all, her purpose was to make Xi'er understand what she had ignored.

"Okay, now let me go to his apartment and have a look."

"Maybe the guy was at the door of his apartment and found that his key was missing. He was worried at the door of his apartment."

Lampa Apartments, in front of John Doe's apartment.

Xier pressed the house number written on the key and came to the door of his room.

But after knocking on the door, no one responded.

"...No one is there. What should I do? Why don't we come back another day?"

Xi'er looked at the key in her hand, still a little confused.

"Just go up and open the door with the key. Maybe you can find something shady."

"In that case, you can't just go in..."

Xi'er glanced around, but suddenly heard a sound like a door leaf.

"what?"

Just when Xier was about to go in, the apartment door opened automatically.

"The door to the apartment seems to be unlocked, and when I push it... ugh, oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it!"

"Stop shouting, no one is here anyway..."

Seeing how Xi'er began to apologize subconsciously, 'Xier' rubbed her temples for a while.

"Xieer...look around you."

While Xier was still in a daze apologizing, the sound of metal collision suddenly came from behind her.

"what?"

When Xi'er reacted, the black claws created by 'Xier' out of thin air helped Xi'er block the attack of the mecha that appeared out of thin air behind her.

"Don't be in a daze, concentrate on fighting!"

The moment Xi'er entered the battle, 'Xier' also withdrew her weapon, and then left it to Xi'er to fight on her own.

While Xi'er was fighting these mechas, 'Xier' had already noticed that their environment had changed again.

After destroying the power sources of these mechas just now, when Xier thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, the voice of 'Xier' reminded her again.

"It's not over yet."

In front of Xi'er's eyes, those mechas stood up again.

"What's going on? Aren't these mechas already solved? Could it be possible..."

But this time, Xi'er reacted and looked above the mecha. As expected, she saw the line connecting the mecha, which allowed her to look at a special core.

After defeating these mechas again, Xier could clearly see those cores losing control and falling to the ground again.

Regarding these cores, Xier destroyed them with just one scythe.

"It's strange, how come these mechas have disappeared, and there's not even any damage nearby."

After destroying the core, Xier noticed that the remains of the surrounding mechas had disappeared, and even the ground that was supposed to be destroyed had returned to its original state.

"Next, let's continue the investigation."

Xi'er didn't know what was going on, but her intuition told her that these things might be related to John Doe.

When he returned to the door of John Doe's room, the door that was originally opened was still the same as before and was not closed.

"Sorry to bother you-"

Although Xier was a little embarrassed, she still opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, the thing that caught his eye was a doll with severed limbs, lying quietly on the ground.

"Wow! This... doll? It looks like it's broken."

Just when Xi'er was about to bend down and pick up the doll, 'Xier' suddenly called out to her.

"do not move."

"Eh?"

Xi'er didn't know why there was some anger in the tone of 'Xier' calling her.

After being reminded by 'Xie'er', Xi'er began to pay attention to the surrounding atmosphere.

"Why do I have a feeling that makes me feel uneasy?"

"Remember this smell, the smell of death. Also, someone is coming."

After 'Xier' reminded Xi'er, Xi'er also realized that the situation here seemed to be a little special.

When Xier turned around, a young woman appeared in front of the door.

"Oh, I am the landlord here. Are you here to find the child who lives here? Are you a friend of that child?"

"Well, I did come to see him. Oh, by the way, landlady, did you hear any noise just now?"

Xi'er remembered the battle just now and asked about the landlord.

"Noise? No, I heard you opening the door."

"But, are you actually here to find that child... Well, that's really unfortunate. This child... passed away a month and a half ago."

"Eh?!"

When Xi'er was surprised, 'Xier' didn't have any surprised reaction. Instead, she seemed to have already guessed it.

"Yes, I was the one who called the police. When I found him, it was too late... He was lying motionless on the bed, as if he was asleep."

"But when I received the flyers just now...could it be possible..."

After listening to the landlord's words, a special thought suddenly came to Xi'er's mind.

"The police ruled out the possibility of homicide and contacted his relatives. They just took him away and left a whole room of things here without anyone wanting them. People from the school also came and told me not to say anything because they were afraid of affecting my further studies. Rate. Everyone is gone, and this is what they care about?"

The landlord sighed helplessly.

"It's pitiful. My family doesn't care, and neither does the school. Since you are this child's friend, you can just go in and take a look. Anyway, I will clean up the things here in a while."

"Hey, I don't know if this house can still be rented out."

Seeing the landlord sigh and leave, Xi'er became a little angry.

"It's too much...but I roughly understand what is going on. But I need to check this room first."

Seeing that Xi'er was gradually getting closer to the truth, 'Xier' also showed a satisfied smile.

Without destroying the original layout of the room, Xi'er roughly searched the entire room, and finally found a special performance ticket in the hand of the broken puppet.

"This is...a show ticket? But the venue is...Domination Theater! The show is...Jack the Fool."

Xi'er looked at the words on the performance ticket and read them out bit by bit.

""Fool Jack, fool Jack, fool Jack who is obsessed with pumpkins. He picked up his beloved pumpkin, and the pumpkin bit his head off in one bite."

After reading it out, Xi'er shuddered inadvertently.

"Uh, is it something like a play introduction? But this kind of play is really..."

"Then have you discovered it now? So do you want to get involved in this matter? If you continue to get involved, it will become very troublesome."

"It doesn't involve anything...I just want to try to help one more person."

Xier

"But everyone is dead, what else can you do? Otherwise, just ignore it. It's not your fault anyway."

"But what happened next, I probably already realized what was going on."

Looking at Xi'er's expression, 'Xier' also noticed her confident smile. In response, 'Xier' also showed a satisfied smile.

"If there hadn't been Sister Bronya, I might have disappeared silently like this... At least, I could still investigate the truth about his death. Indeed, this is probably a trap, but it's also It just shows that there may be an unknown secret behind it.”

"Thank you. So when you reminded me, did you want me to notice this?"

It seems that Xi'er has connected all the information in her mind. Although it is only a rough idea, she has also realized that 'Xie'er' seems to have noticed this situation a long time ago.

The reason why I didn't tell her was just to exercise her thinking ability.

"Is it possible, Xi'er, that you have already noticed that that person is related to the Herrscher of Domination?"

"Did you just discover it now? If you had noticed it earlier, you wouldn't have had to investigate so many things at all."

'Xie'er' complained about Xi'er's IQ, to which Xi'er just stuck out her tongue helplessly.

Although she still had some doubts that she had not researched yet, when Xier returned to the Salt Lake base, she immediately found Kiana.

"Kiana, I want to ask where the tattered Homu clothes are?"

"That tattered Homu doll suit? It's there with the remains of the mecha. Xi'er, look for that thing. Did you notice anything?"

Although Kiana has been investigating things all afternoon, she can't find anything relevant yet.

"Well, there is a little bit of doubt. I need to investigate the Homu suit."

After saying hello to Kiana, Xier hurriedly ran to the place where Kiana had mentioned before and found the tattered Homu doll costume.
