Dialogue[]

Quest Description

As the city lights twinkle, friendly faces beckon you to join them in the bustling border town. Immerse yourself in its prosperous yet tranquil ambiance.

Chixia: Here we are. Jinzhou's Nexus Tower!

The Nexus Tower?

Chixia: Exactly. Lemme see, uh, think of it as Jinzhou's largest server station, or an integration hub. It's something along those lines. I'm not much of a tech person myself.

Chixia: Long story short, it's a navigator, a defense system, and a regional information center all in one enormous package.

Chixia: The smaller ones we ran into earlier are Resonance Beacons.

Chixia: Data is shared between all Beacons. You activate one, and the entire map's data will be relayed to your Terminal. Pretty nifty, huh?

Chixia: Just place your Terminal here.

Yangyang: I have the arrangements in place. Rover, you can come visit the Magistrate at any time.

Yangyang: Chixia, do you mind bringing Rover over to the City Hall?

Chixia: Whew. First time seeing such a crowd in front of the City Hall.

Yangyang: I was surprised too. I've never seen so many non-staff personnel here before.

Are they all here for an audience with the Magistrate?

Yangyang: Most of the people here have applied for an audience, but I heard they've all been turned down.

Turned down by who?

Yangyang: Most people were advised to leave by the Magistrate's bodyguard upon sending in their applications. The ones staying here are either trying to apply for some other people, or just too stubborn to leave.

Yangyang: The few that made it inside said it only took "one freezing look from Lady Sanhua", and they were compelled to leave.

Chixia: What kind of description is that? sounds like they've met some snake-haired lady, and got turned into stone.

Who's Sanhua?

Yangyang: She's the Magistrate's personal bodyguard.

Chixia: Oh, I've heard of her before. She's the "All-round Death Glare slash Terminator Ice Beauty."

Chixia: ...That's what the rumors say, at least.

Perhaps the Magistrate is not here yet.

Yangyang: There is a small chance she's not in the City Hall, but it is very unlikely for her not to be in Jinzhou.

Yangyang: Or rather, it's nearly impossible for the Magistrate to leave Jinzhou at all.

Yangyang: With her busy schedule, it's already difficult to find any time off. In addition, as the Magistrate of Jinzhou, leaving the land under her jurisdiction without authentication is not allowed.

Yangyang: Unless she's engaged on a business trip, or... when Jinzhou's safety is under threat.

Chixia: Yup, there's gotta be something big if that's the case!

It's me they're waiting for.

Chixia: So this is the true confidence of our Rover!

Chixia: I agree though. So far you've been ticking all the boxes in our Magistrate's description.

Can holographic messages be prerecorded?

Chixia: Sure they can.

Yangyang: Have you thought of something, Rover?

Perhaps the Magistrate did not know who her guest was.

I'm wondering why the Magistrate wanted to meet her guest in person.

She must have a reason for attracting all this attention.

Yangyang: You mean...?

She's not doing this to avoid confusion for her guest.

She should have anticipated the follow-up of her public message.

Still, how does she decide who is her guest, and who is not...

Nothing in particular.

Yangyang: I can't really keep up with your thoughts, but I think a meeting with the Magistrate wouldn't hurt.

Chixia: Same here. Anyway, our Magistrate's the best lead we have for now, no matter what she has in store for Rover.

I believe so.

What do you think?

Chixia: Huh? Me? I'm just wondering how to take you, Yangyang, and Baizhi for some chow after this!

Chixia: But my shift's almost coming up. Dunno if we'll make it...

Yangyang: I don't have anything particular in mind.

Yangyang: It was me who... I mean, we took you to Jinzhou. I think we should keep you company, at least while you're here.

Chixia: Oh, I see.

What if I am not the person?

Chixia: VIP or not VIP, special or not special... That doesn't matter at all.

Chixia: ...unless there's money to earn, of course!

What if I am the person?

Chixia: Then that's exactly what we're after!

Chixia: That means we're on the right track then. You'll be getting your memories back in no time.

Yangyang: What do you think, Rover? Are you in a hurry to recover your memories?

Most certainly.

The loss of memory doesn't bother me.

I don't know what to do.

What really matters is how I'll live my life and create new memories.

Yangyang: In that case...

Yangyang: How about meeting with the Magistrate first? She may have the answers you're looking for.

Yangyang: We are not allowed to go with you. Chixia and I will be right outside the City Hall.

Yangyang: We'll be waiting for you.

Chixia: That's right, we're not going anywhere! Just give us a shout if anything goes down—Wait, no, we won't be able to hear ya. Plus they've got this rule about not yelling inside the City Hall.

Receptionist: Please, follow me.

Receptionist: Kindly have a seat.

Receptionist: Lady Sanhua will be with you shortly.

??: Pleased to make your acquaintance. I apologize for the delay. My name is Sanhua, the bodyguard of Madam Magistrate.

Call me Rover for now.

Hello.

Sanhua: I regret to inform you that Madam Magistrate is currently away. Prior to her departure, she instructed me to bring you these tokens and a welcome gift.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate advised you to explore what these tokens represent during her absence. This may help you acquire the information you desire sooner.

Sanhua: I apologize for the inconvenience, but please rest assured: she will be here to meet you in three days' time.

Where is the Magistrate?

Sanhua: Sorry... I cannot disclose her whereabouts at this time. Please trust me that she is eagerly looking forward to meeting you in person.

Did something happen to her?

Sanhua: Pardon my inability to provide a better answer. Madam Magistrate has a task that she must handle alone, but she has never for one moment forgotten about her meeting with you.

Sanhua: Not knowing exactly when you'd arrive, she had to leave without having the chance to welcome you in person.

Why three days?

Sanhua: Because she will require at least three days to complete her current task.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate wanted to assure you that in three days, by any means, she will return to meet you in person.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Sanhua: You...

Sanhua: I'll be sure to convey your kindness to Madam Magistrate. Please accept my sincerest gratitude.

Sanhua: Yes, Madam Magistrate does hope to have your assistance, but there is no rush for a decision. She does not want to pressure you into anything you may not desire. We invite you to learn about our situation before making a final commitment.

How am I supposed to know what the tokens represent?

Sanhua: When it comes to these tokens, it is never her intention to confuse you with the puzzles. Instead, they should serve as clues that lead you toward the truth.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate deeply regrets not having the time to deliver her messages to you in person.

Sanhua: We value your presence far more than you might imagine. The same goes for any and all information about you.

Got it.

How were you certain I was the guest?

Sanhua: Since Madam Magistrate is currently away, I cannot make the final confirmation on her behalf.

Sanhua: But you. You are truly exceptional.

I heard many people were "politely" asked to leave.

Sanhua: Regarding that...

Sanhua: My eyes can see the frequencies of all living beings.

Sanhua: Or rather, those "frequencies" are the only thing I can see.

Sanhua: You... You share the same frequency with Madam Magistrate.

What does my frequency look like?

Sanhua: You look undistorted and authentic, in your original form.

The same frequency?

Sanhua: Apologies. My description was not accurate.

Sanhua: Both you and Madam Magistrate look undistorted to me.

Sanhua: In my eyes, you appear the way you are.

What do the frequencies of others look like?

Sanhua: They all look different.

For some reason, you can tell Sanhua doesn't want to continue this topic.

Sanhua: May I have your Terminal for a moment?

What do you want with it?

Sanhua: I need your Terminal for Access Pass authorization. In the meantime, I willconfigure the latest Utility module for you.

My Terminal?

Sanhua: Yes, it's the "gourd" on your waist. The device every Resonator carries.

Are we exchanging contacts now?

Sanhua: Indeed. It was an oversight on my end. I will now import my contact information and that of all public services, like Patrol Stations, into your Terminal.

Sanhua: I will be here on standby, ready to assist whenever you need me.

Sanhua: I need your Terminal for regional access authorization. I will also configure the latest Utility module for you.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate thought you might need it.

(Hand over the Terminal.)

You waited for a moment.

Sanhua: The Utility module on your Terminal has been upgraded to the latest iteration. Now all the Utilities, including Sensor, Levitator, and Grapple, should be fully functional.

Sanhua: You are now granted unlimited access to all regions in Jinzhou. I have sent your Terminal ID to every border pass and resonance Beacon. You will only need to display your Terminal ID, or activate a Beacon with your Terminal for entry.

Sanhua: You are now free to visit any part of Jinzhou.

And that includes the City Hall?

So no more annoying paperwork?

Sanhua: Yes, including the City Hall. You have full access to its facilities.

Sanhua: Also, may I ask... Have you decided your place of residence in Jinzhou?

Sanhua: If not, Madam Magistrate has arranged accommodation for you in advance, here in the City Hall.

Home sweet home.

Royal Suite. Here I come!

Sanhua: I will lead you to your room if you need.

That won't be necessary at the moment.

I have friends waiting outside.

That won't be necessary.

I have other plans.

Sanhua: Understood. We will be ready to accommodate you anytime.

(When the player interacts with the door in the City Hall.)

You heard the crisp sounds of Weiqi pieces being laid down on the board, followed by a long silence.

(Knock on the door.)

There was no response. Maybe those inside are too invested in their game of Weiqi.

(Push the door.)

The door didn't bulge.

(When the player talks to Sanhua again.)

Sanhua: Anything I can help you with, Rover?

I have questions about Jinzhou.

Sanhua: With pleasure. What do you wish to know about Jinzhou?

Who are the Midnight Rangers?

Sanhua: The Midnight Rangers, under General Jiyan's command, are a garrison in Jinzhou. They consist of the Vanguards for offensive operations against Tacet Discords, and the Rearguards for city defense.

Sanhua: Additionally, there is a detachment unit called the Outriders, mostly made up of volunteers or reservists who serve as reconnaisance agents.

Sanhua: Most of the servicement of today are comprised of Resonators.

How about an introduction of the city?

Sanhua: Jinzhou is not the most populated city in Huanglong. As a border city, it is the frontline in countering Tacet Discord Outbreaks.

Care to give me an introduction that's not from the books?

Sanhua: ...

Sanhua: ...Jinzhou holds a special place in my heart.

Sanhua: ...I can't say I am too familiar with my hometown, but I do feel a homely sense of attachment to Jinzhou. Maybe it's because here lives a person who changed my life.

Sanhua: Hmm. If I were to introduce Jinzhou in my own words, I'd say it's a city one would easily grow attached to.

I still have other questions.

I have questions about the Magistrate.

Sanhua: Of course. Please feel free to ask me anything, and I will answer to the best of my ability.

I'd like to learn more about the Magistrate.

Sanhua: Our Magistrate's birth name was Hsi. She took on the name Jinhsi when she became the Magistrate of Jinzhou.

Sanhua: Nowadays, she is usually addressed as "Madam Magistrate."

What is the relationship between Magistrate Jinhsi and the Sentinel of Jinzhou?

Sanhua: She is also known as the "Loong Maiden", because of her Resonance connection with our Sentinel, "Jué", who manifests in the shape of a LoongDragon.

Sanhua: The ways Huanglong's Magistrates interact with their corresponding Sentinels can differ. In Jinzhou, our Magistrate seems to share a familial bond with the Sentinel.

Sanhua: Though... This is what I understand from what she has told me. I have only seen our Sentinel a handful of times.

When will the Magistrate return?

Sanhua: It depends on Madam Magistrate, and...

Sanhua: It depends on your decision, Rover.

Sanhua: Please pardon me. This is all I can say at the moment.

I still have other questions.

I have questions about the tokens.

Sanhua: With pleasure. What do you wish to know about the tokens?

How should I make use of the tokens?

Sanhua: I suggest looking into where these tokens come from.

Sanhua: Examine their locations of origin, and explore the sites or past events they represent... Then you should uncover the message Madam Magistrate wanted to convey, and hopefully learn everything you want to know.

Can I not investigate the tokens?

Sanhua: Of course. It is fully up to you.

I still have other questions.

I have questions about you.

Sanhua: Of course. Please feel free to ask me anything, and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Have we met before?

Sanhua: I'm afraid not. I have never seen you before.

Sanhua: If I had, I would never forget you.

Nothing in particular.

Chixia: Rover!

Chixia: It took you so long. What gives? Was our Magistrate a chatterbox?

You told Chixia and Yangyang about your conversation with Sanhua.

Chixia: So Madam Magistrate's not in the City Hall...

Yangyang: ...

What's going on?

Yangyang: The wind is rising. In it, I sense disturbance and unrest.

Why the long face, Yangyang?

Chixia: Hahaha. It sure is.

Yangyang: ...Chixia.

Yangyang: The increasing Tacet Fields, uncannily powerful Tacet Discords, and now, our Magistrate's absence...

Chixia: Plus... The mysterious Rover!

Yangyang: I'm afraid...

Jinzhou might be in danger.

Chixia: Well, we've reported to the City Hall, the Ministry of War, AND the Academy. We've done everything we can.

Chixia: I mean, this is Huanglong! And we're talking about Jinzhou, of all places! We've been through our fair share of unrest over the past thousand years, and we've made it together every time.

Chixia: There's been TD outbreaks every year, but we can always trust General Jiyan, Madam Magistrate, and our Sentinel to have our backs! We're not ones to mess with!

Yangyang: "United we stand, a bastion of might; one equals a legion, invulnerable in fight"... Well said, Chixia.

There's no need to worry.

Chixia: Yeah! We've reported to the City Hall, the Ministry of War, AND the Academy. We've done everything we can so far.

Chixia: I mean, this is Huanglong! And we're talking about Jinzhou of all places. It's never actually been safe here over the past thousands of years. We made it through all those TD outbreaks anyway.

Chixia: We can always trust General Jiyan, Madam Magistrate, and our Sentinel to have our backs! We're not ones to mess with.

Yangyang: Well said.

Before that, what should we get for dinner?

Chixia: Aren't you the practical type!

Chixia: I'd love me some Chili Sauce Tofu, Jinzhou Maocai, Spicy Meat Slices... Ugh, I'm starving. Wait a sec, we still need to meet up with Baizhi first, right?

What should we do next?

Yangyang: So Madam Magistrate is meeting you in three days, and she left these tokens for you, said you can look into what they represent while she is away...

Yangyang: Do you have any plans, Rover?

I don't think there's much for me to do.

Let's investigate the items.

That's a three-day vacation in my books.

Chixia: Fair point. A three-day vacation it is!

Chixia: Let's just go chill out then! We'll figure out the tokens when we have the chance.

Chixia: Ooh, reminds me of the tokens of love in those stories... It sounds like you're off to a secret date or something. What is our Magistrate planning to do with these token puzzles?

Maybe she is looking for a soulmate.

Chixia: A soulmate? Hmm...

I have no idea.

Yangyang: So Madam Magistrate left some hidden clues in her tokens. Clues that only the right person would be able to decipher...

Yangyang:But Rover has lost all memories, and would likely forget any kind of decryption method they agreed on. It doesn't quite make sense. Or maybe... She is trying to make Rover notice something else?

Yangyang: Rover, do you mind if we have a look at the tokens?

You showed Yangyang and Chixia the tokens.

Chixia: So, what's so special about them?

(Take the candy.)

Chixia: A candy? Oh! I've had these when i was a kid. I think they were called... Sugar pearls?

Chixia: But I haven't seen anything like this in a while... Went out of trend maybe?

Yangyang: It reminds me of my childhood. I still remember the taste. It was so sweet.

Yangyang: I was really scared of getting my flu shots when I was little, and sometimes the nurse lady would hand out candies like this as a prize for being good.

Yangyang: But... What does it mean as a token?

(Take the small device.)

Yangyang: It seems like... a miniature sundial.

A sundial?

Yangyang: It is a horological device that tells time by using sunlight's direction.

Yangyang: Sundials in Huanglong usually have marked lines for the twelve ShichensTime Periods in a day, and every Shichen is 2 hours long, with some showing seasons or months. The design of this sundial looks a bit unusual, though...

I believe so.

Yangyang: On this sundial... Time seems to be represented by the twelve Earthly Branches, drawn on the outer ring of its surface.

Yangyang: And its inner ring shows the "Four Symbols", reach representing one cardinal direction. These are the four famous auspicious beasts in Huanglong's folklore. They are believed to protect people from all four directions under Heaven.

Yangyang: Generally, The Teal Loong represents the East, the White Tiger stands for the West, the Vermillion Bird stands for the South, and finally, we have the Black Tortoise for the North.

Yangyang: It seems this sundial is supposed to show both time and direction, but how could it work when there is not a compass attached? Not to mention the lack of sunlight basically renders it useless...

Chixia: Ugh. That requires way too much brain power...

(Take the leaf.)

Chixia: The color of this leaf seems a bit odd. Can't tell what tree it is.

Yangyang: I think... I can feel something from it.

Yangyang: Hmm... Nevermind. It's too faint. Maybe it was just my imagination...

Yangyang: Sorry. I can't tell what kind of tree this leaf belongs to, either.

(Take the black fruit.)

Yangyang: This is... a mangosteen fruit.

Yangyang: Mangosteens are not native to Jinzhou. They are usually imported by boat. I think we can find more mangosteens being sold at the nearby markets.

Yangyang: They're not always available for purchase, though. The frequent Tacet Discord Outbreaks can disrupt transportation and cause shortages. The Midnight Rangers have greatly improved the situation in recent years, but still...

(That's all.)

Yangyang: So Chixia and I share similar childhood memories of the sugar pearl... Do you remember it too, Rover?

It doesn't ring a bell.

It does look a bit familiar.

Chixia: When it comes to candies, no one knows them better than the kids of Jinzhou!

Let's go ask around.

We should go find Baizhi first.

We should visit the Academy first.

Chixia: Oh right, Baizhi's still waiting for us at the Academy!

(When speaking with the kids nearby.)

Hello.

You showed the little girl you sugar pearl, and asked if she had seen it before.

The little girl shook her head timidly.

Have you seen this candy before?

After a tense moment of silence, the little girl seems to have finally made up her mind about a great sacrifice. She offered you her hand, revealing a small piece of candy.

Child: I-I don't have candy like that.

Child: But I've got this. It's really good. You, erm, you can have one.

Thank you. But why?

Child: Madam Magistrate said we should be nice to every guest!

Thank you.

Child: No need to thank me! P-please have fun in Jinzhou!

Chixia: There's still some distance to the Huaxu Academy. Let's see who reaches there faster!

Yangyang: I just installed some apps for you, remember? Please try looking for one that's called Utility on the Terminal.

Chixia: See? Just open the Utilities, select the Grapple, and there you go!

Chixia: If you wanna be a hero like the Jinzhou Speedster, you gotta master the Grapple! C'mon, give it a shot, Rover!

Chixia: Oh, wait a sec, someone's looking for me.

Chixia: Yeah... What! When did he disappear? Don't worry. It's alright. I'll be right there.

Chixia: Duty calls! Oops, almost forgot. Can't be late!

Chixia: Sorry, Rover, Yangyang. I've gotta head off for my shift. I'll join you right after I'm done, alright?

Chixia: If you need me, just shout my name, and I, the Jinzhou Speedster, will be there in a sec.

For real?

Chixia: Well, you only need to send me a Terminal message as you shout! Then I'll be there in a jiffy. Hehe.

Ma Xiaofang!

Chixia: STOP! STOP! Don't call me that!

Chixia: Anyway, I've gotta go. You guys okay on your own? Give me a heads-up when there's any updates.

Yangyang: Sure, go do your thing. Don't worry, I'm staying with him/her.

Yangyang: Rover, let's go inside.

Yangyang: Baizhi hasn't replied to my message. She's probably busy in her lab.

Yangyang: Over there must be Mr. Mortefi from the Department of Safety. Baizhi once mentioned him before...

Yangyang: He might be able to help us get in touch with Baizhi, but, erm... it seems we've caught him at a bad time.

(Upon approaching Mortefi and two other men)

Man wearing white: The previous prototype almost met all our needs, but we're wondering if you can further optimize it.

Man wearing gray: Well... Um...

Mortefi: Make your feedback specific.

Man wearing white: We find it a bit hard to use. It's heavy, and the engine doesn't work that well.

Man wearing white: Can you reduce its weight by another ten percent and double the Tacetite Energy output?

Mortefi: I see, so you want a portable heavy tank. That's quite a BRILLIANT idea.

Man wearing white: Yeah, you got me. There must be something you can do, right? Try to cut cost as much as you can, but you can invest in better materials to reduce the weight.

Mortefi: That's easy, but in order to cut costs, I need you to double my research budget.

Man wearing white: What do you mean? How can we save money when the budget is doubled?

Mortefi: Oh? So, you do know doubling the budget won't lead to cost savings? Funny how you apply double standards when you're the one making requests.

Mortefi: Regarding the "good material" you asked for... Well, I see some right in front of me. You're the perfect material to be shipped off to the blacksmith's... for a good old-fashioned beating. Marvelous.

Mortefi: Trying to exhaust public research resources for personal gain at a time like this... You must think you're so smart.

Man wearing white: You... You could just admit you can't do it! How dare you spew such insults in public?!

Mortefi: Oh, I apologize if you felt humiliated. I thought you must have a thick skin to present such an unreasonable request.

Mortefi: Besides, didn't I just tell you?

Mortefi: I can fulfill any request you may have, but that's gonna cost extra.

Man wearing white: How... how dare you! We're divesting! I'm telling you! I'm leaving!

Mortefi: Interesting. Do you really think the meager investment you made over a decade ago is enough to make any difference? I've been paying more money every day to treat my colleagues to afternoon teas.

Mortefi: People in Huanglong have a good tradition of reciprocating help generously, and the Academy has been treating its investors with respect. You've already received a 120% return on your investment, haven't you?

Mortefi: I suggest you take what you can get. Blame your bad luck for crossing paths with me, the only foreigner here at the Academy. I don't plan to follow that "good tradition". I speak up when you get on my nerves. Farewell, you're free to leave.

Yangyang: Anyway... Let's try asking him, shall we?

Mortefi: ...What. You need something?

Well said!

Mortefi: I refuse to tolerate the foolish striving of those insatiable slugs. Since it's difficult for our researchers to deal with a man like that, I'd rather handle it personally and swiftly.

Mortefi: ...And you are?

That was scary.

The researcher with glasses seemed momentarily unsettled, the flames dimming slightly as he averted his gaze. He tries to conceal his surprise, but it was evident in his eyes.

Mortefi: ...My apologies. Did I startle you?

We're here for Baizhi.

Yangyang: Mr. Mortefi, please pardon our intrusion. We are friends of Baizhi, and we're here to look for her.

Mortefi: I see. I hope I didn't cause any offense earlier.

Yangyang: Not at all, it was us who bothered you...

Mortefi: Baizhi should be in the Data Analysis Room. I'll go tell her you're here.

Yangyang: Thank you, sir.

Yangyang: This is Mortefi, a renowned figure in the Department of Safety. He was born in the New Federation, and he joined the Huaxu Academy a few years ago. I heard his talent is truly impressive.

Yangyang: People say he is a bit scary at first glance, but he's actually quite kindhearted once you get to know him...

Yangyang: Chixia told me he's quite popular with the kids. Children have been pestering him for all kinds of fancy toys, and he's always open to their requests.

Baizhi: Here you are. The data we collected in the Gorges of Spirits have been submitted for analysis, and we'll have the results today. I have the equipment for your physical examinations ready, too.

Baizhi: Any discoveries during your trip to the City Hall?

You showed Baizhi the tokens you received and told her about what happened.

Yangyang: What do you think, Baizhi?

Baizhi: ...

Baizhi: I have a hypothesis about the sugar pearl, but I need to verify it first. If possible, I recommend conducting non-destructive tests of all these tokens you have.

Wish i could have thought of it earlier.

That's a straightforward solution.

That sounds simple and clear.

Baizhi: Data is always straightforward.

Baizhi: The first three tokens can be tested at my branch's laboratoryBranch of Remnant Studies. This miniature sundial will require radiographic testing, though. To access the necessary equipment, we'll need to file a request with one of the Tacetite Studies related branches.

Tacetite... that's the field Mortefi specializes in, isn't it?

Baizhi: Yes, Mortefi is the Branch of Tacetite Weaponry's head within the Department of Safety.

We can ask them about the other tokens too.

Baizhi: Indeed.

Baizhi: One moment, please.

Soon after, Baizhi returned with Mortefi.

Mortefi: Give me the items to be tested. Anything else you need me to know, you can let me know now. You may retrieve your items in twenty minutes, and the analysis report will be ready five minutes after that. Take a right, and you'll find me in the testing room.

(Take out the sundial.)

Mortefi took the sundial and gently weighed it in his hand.

Mortefi: This one looks like the early handiwork of someone I know.

Mortefi: It's lightweight, and its design differs from that of the typical sundial. And it appears to be missing a part. See, there's a groove here.

(Show him all the tokens.)

Mortefi: I don't see anything special with these items. Speaking of this sugar pearl... So you all remember eating sugar pearls like this when you were kids? I don't think I've ever had anything like this in my childhood.

Mr. Mortefi, I heard you weren't raised in Huanglong?

Mortefi: No. I'm from the New Federation. You mean this sugar pearl might be unique to Huanglong?

I believe so.

Yangyang: I remember a nurse lady giving me a candy like that.

Mortefi: So, sugar pearls like this were distributed at hospitals? Perhaps...

Baizhi: The sugar pearl might be a type of medicine. Its sweet taste would've made it more palatable to children.

Mortefi: Ms. Baizhi. As a Huanglong local working at the Academy, I suppose you already had an idea about what it is?

Baizhi: I do have my theory as to what it is, but it still needs verification. I wouldn't proclaim any solid answers before confirming the chemical composition of this item with reliable data.

Mortefi: Seconded. Let's find out through actual testing, then.

Understood.

Baizhi: It will take some time before the results are ready. If you have other matters to take care of, you should go ahead. I'll let you know once we have the results.

Yangyang: Shall we wait here at the Academy, Rover?

Sure.

We'll take a quick look around here, then?

Baizhi: Sure you can, but don't forget your physical examination—I'll see you in a while for that.

Baizhi: I have the equipment ready. I'll need to check your health status and see if there are any unusual fluctuations.

Baizhi: Now, let's begin if you're ready.

One moment please. Can I ask about...

Baizhi: Do you have any questions before we begin?

Do I have to do this?

Baizhi: Based on the samples collected, the Tacet Discord you defeated was at least an Overlord Class. After defeating it, you seemingly absorbed its frequency energy with your bare hands.

An Overlord Class?

:Baizhi: Tacet Discords are classified according to the concentration levels of their characteristic frequencies. Generally, Tacet Discords with higher concentration levels are considered to pose greater threats.

:Baizhi: The current classification levels, from lowest to highest, are Common, Elite, Overlord, and Calamity. Additionally, there is a special type of Tacet Discord, and we call them the Threnodians.

Will there be any kind of side effects?

:Baizhi: You have absorbed a very powerful Echo with your body. You may seem fine now, but there could be internal changes that are too subtle to see or detect with my resonance ability.

:Baizhi: Based on all the records I can find, humans need a Pangu Terminal in order to record or replicate an Echo's frequency.

:Baizhi: That's why I'm quite curious how you could do that.

What is an "Echo" again?

Baizhi: When a Tacet Discord is eliminated, its frequency energy may linger in the form of an incorporeal manifestation, which is known as a "Reverberation".

Baizhi: A Resonator's Terminal collects and records said Reverberations, turning them into "Echoes" that can be directed as desired.

Baizhi: The combat abilities of these Echoes can then be replicated through the Terminal's Data Bank module, enabling Resonators to use them in battles.

Baizhi: Additionally, some Echoes' abilities allow Resonators to briefly transform into their shapes.

So you can turn into an "Echo"?

Baizhi: Yes, to some extent.

Have you ever come across other similar cases?

Baizhi: Apart from the ancient legend Yangyang mentioned earlier, I've never heard of anything like this...

Baizhi: But if we look at it another way, we might finally be able to verify said legend once we figure out what really happened with your body.

I'm ready.

Let's begin.

Baizhi: Can you try to manifest the Crownless' frequency without using your Terminal?

Unfortunately, I can't.

Hnngghh—! (try your best)

Baizhi: ...

Sorry. It seems I can't do that.

Baizhi: Hmm... I am not seeing the Crownless' data in your Terminal. So it was indeed absorbed into your body...

Baizhi: The Crownless' frequency energy was "consumed" by your body, leaving no trace behind.

Baizhi: But how did you manage to do that? It's as though there's another mechanism within your body capable of absorbing frequency energy...

Will I turn into a monster?

Baizhi: How do you define "monster"? For Resonators like you, such abnormal fluctuations in frequency typically lead to Overclocking.

What is Overclocking?

Baizhi: When a Resonator's mental capacity is overwhelmed, they may love control of their Fortepower, causing an overflow of Resonance energy.

What happens when someone Overclocks?

Baizhi: This is known as "Overclocking" and is categorized into three levels based on severity. The excess Resonance energy harms both the Resonator and their surroundings.

Baizhi: In extreme cases, the excess energy can even manifest as destructive Tacet Fields.

Baizhi: We have established a comprehensive Overclock diagnosis process to accurately predict potential risks of Overclocking.

Baizhi: Your waveform graph shows a remarkable level of stability, surpassing any Resonator I've encountered. Your risk of Overclocking should be minimal.

Baizhi: You don't need to worry about that for the time being.

What kind of impact will it have on me?

Baizhi: I can't say without sufficient data.

Does this have anything to do with my amnesia?

Baizhi: Your test results don't indicate any trauma, so your amnesia may not be linked to traumatic events.

Baizhi: As for your ability to absorb Echoes, I can't make a connection between that and your amnesia based on the current data.

Baizhi: To put it simply, it seems there is another dimension or... a creature, hiding inside your body.

...

Sounds like a cool terrarium idea.

Baizhi: I used that as a metaphor to express my speculation. If such a thing existed within you, scientists would be eagerly seeking to understand it.

Baizhi: There are so many mysteries about you worth exploring.

Sounds like I have a little universe within me.

Baizhi: A universe. That's a poetic and intriguing comparison.

Baizhi: It seems we need a simulated combat to figure out what happened in your body.

Baizhi: Please hold your Terminal tight and stay still.

Baizhi: This is the Academy's simulated training ground. Don't worry, Yangyang and I will assist you.

Baizhi: Please fight the simulated Tacet Discords like you normally would.

Baizhi: Hmm... As You'tan had previously detected, your bodily functions are in good condition, and you seem entirely unaffected by the Crownless' energy.

Baizhi: Now, we will temporarily boost your Resonance Ability for further testing.

Baizhi: Not the slightest fluctuation in your frequency energy... So it was not your Resonance Ability, either...

Baizhi: Hmm. I suppose we'll do another round to fully test your potential...

Baizhi: We have gathered all the data we need. The test is ending soon. Rover, you can find the exit straight up ahead.

Baizhi: Rover! Can you...¥%Hear...#¥%... &*

Rover: The comm line is dead... Something's wrong. Gotta be cautious.

Rover: Now, where is the exit...

Rover: I'm back to the same spot again...

Rover: And this... Moon? What is happening...

Rover: Are those... Tacet Discords?

(Cutscene plays)

???: Leave... Mother...

Yangyang: Rover! Rover!

Yangyang: Thank goodness... You're awake...

Yangyang: Baizhi, what happened just now? The connection was suddenly cut off...

Baizhi: ...Rover. Do you still remember what you saw?

(Cutscene ends)

You told Yangyang and Baizhi about what you experienced...

Baizhi: Can you give us some more details?

A giant Tacet Discord with a scythe...

Baizhi: A giant Tacet Discord with a scythe... It doesn't sound like the Crownless. Might be even higher-ranked.

An enormous moon fading in and out of the sky...

Baizhi: An enormous moon looming above you... Now, this reminds me of the unusual sightings that supposedly happened during a past war...

Baizhi: This is the first time we've run into anything like this since we put the training ground into use...

Baizhi: The Sonoro Sphere captures everything that once happened in a specific time and place, be it good or bad.

Baizhi: We built this simulated training ground after the structure of Sonoro Spheres.

Baizhi: Our goal was to extract pure Remnant Energy with the simulated Sonoro Sphere, but we cannot guarantee that all "abnormal frequencies" were eliminated.

Baizhi: Your arrival may have revived the "abnormal frequencies" we accidentally captured.

Baizhi: Remnant Energy sometimes give rise to memory manifestations of sentient beings. You may have encountered one such manifestation.

Baizhi: I suspect it could have something to do with your unconscious mind.

Baizhi: Such anomalies could have been hiding in the simulation, and they 'resonated' with your subconscious. Or perhaps... they were lifted from your subconscious in the first place.

Baizhi: I'm afraid I can't give you a conclusion yet. Not until we've ran a thorough analysis on the data collected.

Baizhi: I'll also check the simulated Sonoro Sphere again to see what on earth happened to it.

Baizhi: In terms of bodily functions, you seem to be in perfect health... In fact, all the data look quite good.

Baizhi: But if you feel anything unusual, please come find me any time.

Thank you, I will.

I'll consider it.

Mortefi: Here's your sundial. Intact as it was.

Yangyang: Mr. Mortefi, can we have the test results?

Mortefi:Simply put, it's hollow. Here, try tapping on it. It sounds different from a solid object.

Mortefi: It's not just a timekeeping took; it's an intricate mortise-and-tenon puzzle box.

Mortefi: This sundial is hollow with an inner compartment. We've scanned it, and there is a small paper scroll inside.

Mortefi: However, it's missing a crucial component.

Mortefi: We should be able to spin the wheels on this sundial once the right component is installed.

Impressive analysis.

Mortefi: Automata Mechanics isn't my field of study. I specialize in developing Tacetite Weapons, but the foundational theories behind these applied technologies are quite similar.

You're quite the expert!

Mortefi: I have some basic knowledge, but there is someone else who is more knowledgeable in Automata Mechanics than I am.

Mortefi: It wouldn't have taken me this long if we were dealing with Tacetite Weapons.

Mortefi: Install the missing part, then rotate the wheels to their correct positions, and you should be able to solve the puzzle and access the paper scroll.

Mortefi: However, I still have no idea what the missing component should look like.

Maybe we can brute-force it.

Mortefi: Well that's a no-brainer indeed.

Mortefi: We can certainly give it a try. If you're fine with the paper scroll being destroyed by its protective mechanism, that is.

Shall we go ask the experts in this field?

Mortefi: No need to ask him. I can help you with this.

Mortefi: I just need some time to think it over.

Mortefi: One moment. I have an incoming call.

Mortefi: ...

Media:Vo hlmq 1_2_9_22.ogg Mortefi: What is it?

Mortefi: You certainly are well-informed.

Mortefi: It's indeed beautiful data... Good taste. Well, since you've put it that way...

Yangyang: Rover... Mr. Mortefi's expression seems to have softened, don't you think?

Yeah, he looks like a purring cat now.

He's surprisingly...

Yangyang: ...an amiable person, isn't he?

Yangyang: We haven't even asked him to help us with assembling...

...and he's already started working on it.

...and he just naturally lent us a hand.

I guess the Academy people are just passionate about solving problems.

Yangyang: It looks like Mr. Mortefi needs some more time. Maybe we should give him some space to concentrate?

Yangyang: Rover, let's come back later, shall we?

(When chosing to talk to Mortefi.)

Mortefi: ...

Mortefi: Yes, of course. I've already noticed all that you mentioned.

Mortefi: Indeed. You just pointed out a blind spot in my thinking.

Mortefi: Your workshop? That hellish place?

Mortefi: Heh... Stop sweet-talking me. I get it.

Mortefi: ...

Mortefi: Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's go back to the sundial.

Mortefi: It's a mortise-and-tenon puzzle box. The missing component in the middle needs to fulfill two entirely different structural requirements at the same time.

Mortefi: Considering its entire structure, this component needs an automatic buckle that goes down on top of an embedded pointer.

Mortefi: I'll draw up a design for you. The parts you'll need can be found in Xiangli's workshop. I've already informed him about it; you'll only need to go fetch the parts in his place. He keeps a boxful of them.

You're not coming with us?

Mortefi: Division of labor is more efficient in getting things done. Besides, I would like to avoid stepping foot in Xiangli's workshop ever again. The mere thought of that place brings me migraines.

Who is Xiangli?

Yangyang: Mr. Mortefi, is it the person you were talking to earlier? ...Mr. Xiangli Yao, I think?

Mortefi: Yes. It doesn't take me much effort to figure out this little sundial here, but I do admit talking with Xiangli made it easier.

Mortefi: He's the expert in Automata Mechanics I mentioned earlier. The only Principal Investigator we currently have.

Okay.

Is it going to be dangerous?

Mortefi: It's a minefield of clutter and chaos. A murky swamp within the Academy walls, as vile and perilous as some primeval forest before the Lament. Any civilized human would find it impossible to stand.

It's just "cluttered"... right?

It doesn't sound like a pleasant place.

Mortefi: Considering its dreadful conditions, I can't agree more.

Mortefi: How could he choose to work in such terrible condition? It's like willingly playing a score backwards.

Let's get it over with.

Yangyang: I see. Shall we go and retrieve the parts now, Rover?

Okay.

Yangyang: I mentally prepared myself for the worst, but this place looks... much better than Mr. Mortefi's description, I think?

Yangyang: Thought it is a bit hard to figure out where we should start...

Yangyang: This should be it. It's quite a boxful.

Yangyang: Let's go back and show it to Mr. Mortefi.

Yangyang: Mr. Mortefi, we found the parts.

Mortefi: Good, bring it to me.

Baizhi: The test results are in.

I'm all ears.

Found anything?

Baizhi: The mangosteen is just an ordinary fruit. It's suitable for regular consumption. We found nothing unusual about it.

Baizhi: From the purple leaf you presented, I detected subtle fluctuations in Tacet Discord's frequency from two distinct sources, but they were overlapping and difficult to distinguish.

Baizhi: This is a rare occurrence.

Baizhi: The scattered nature of these fluctuations rules out the possibility of them being left behind through contact.

Baizhi: This is not an ordinary leaf, but it doesn't seem to be a Tacet Discord, either. Based on the data we gathered, I believe it was sampled from an area struck with the Waveworn phenomena.

The Waveworn phenomena?

Yangyang: Yes. The anomalies that occurred after the Lament, including the formation of Tacet Fields, Etheric Sea, Retroact Rain, and gravity loss... These are collectively called the Waveworn phenomena.

Yangyang: And the Lament was the start of it all.

Baizhi: As for the sugar pearl... It has been determined to be a type of oral vaccine.

Baizhi: This sugar pearl expired over 20 years ago. The low-temperature storage life for this vaccine is about 2 years.

Yangyang: A 20-year-old vaccine...

Yangyang: ...

Yangyang: Could it be related to the children's epidemic in Jinzhou two decades ago?

Baizhi: The archives in the Academy should have information on the sugar pearl.

Baizhi: The archives here are organized in a unique way. You can start by searching the keywords at the lobby terminal.

Yangyang: Mr. Mortefi?

Mortefi: The missing pointer has been installed, and now the sundial should be complete.

Yangyang: So the discs are rotatable now...

Mortefi: Yes. Align the correct markers with the pointer we just installed, and then you should be able to open it.

(The Earthly Branches represent time.)

(The Four Symbols represent cardinal directions.)

(Just force it open.)

Mortefi: You... Ugh, hold on!

Mortefi: Remember when I said don't force it open?

Mortefi: Crack that thing another five degrees, and not even Xiangli Yao will be able to save it.

Yangyang: The Earthly Branches and Four Symbols...

Yangyang: These symbols are related to the Sexagenary Cycle. It's an intricate way of recording time in Huanglong. Nowadays it is mainly reserved for calendars, numerology, and indexing, but it's falling out of daily use.

Yangyang: Now what kind of information could it represent...

Baizhi: ...It's the filing system.

Baizhi: Most of Huanglong's libraries and databases still use this method to organize their archives. Namely, the Grand Libraries.

The Grand Libraries?

Yangyang: Yes. The large data repositories located in Huanglong's major cities.

So it's like a time-based filing system?

Yangyang: Exactly. Languages may evolve, names may change, but time remains constant.

Mortefi: It's an elegant system, indeed.

Baizhi just mentioned...

Baizhi: The Academy's public archives are organized in this manner, too.

I see.

Let's go find the archives about this sugar pearl.

Follow me.

Yangyang: I found it... It's located on the "Wei" shelf.

Yangyang: Mao, Chen, Si... Wu, Wei. Rover, it's here.

(After interacting with Archive: Sugar Pearl Vaccine and Tacet Discord Outbreak.)

Yangyang: There are two photos here...

One photo shows a group of researchers led by a woman in her thirties. Everyone looks excited and happy.

The other photo shows an infant in diapers, with a slender hand holding a spoon with a sugar pearl in it, directed towards the infant.

Yangyang: ...

(After interacting with Archive: "The First Resonator".)

Yangyang: If I remember correctly, Jinzhou was established during a Year of Wei, several cycles ago. The Jinzhou City Hall and Huaxu Academy were built in the same year.

Yangyang: The Gorges of Spirits Battle sparked Jinzhou's founding.

Yangyang: And the formidable Tacet Discord described here... I believe it is the "Crownless".

Yangyang: Rover, about the sugar pearl...

Talk about the sugar pearl.

Yangyang: Life has never been easy after the Lament, but I still remember that sweetness from my childhood.

Yangyang: The battle against the epidemic in Jinzhou was grueling. Once infected, children either died or suffered life-long disabilities, Resonators or not. With Tacet Discords ravaging Jinzhou and severing all communication with other cities, desperation ran high.

Yangyang: Words are not enough to convey how desperate people must have felt. They resorted to self-experimentation with a newly developed vaccine, risking everything for a chance. If they failed...

They made it.

They were heroes.

Yangyang: We owe our presence here to those who came before us. It's important to remember their sacrifices.

Yangyang: If the sugar pearl points to the information and reports we have just read, what is Madam Magistrate trying to convey?

Yangyang: Is it related to your past? Or is it...

I believe it's about my past.

Yangyang: According to the reports, the vaccine's creator died three years after its development, with the rest of the team now over fifty.

Yangyang: ...

Yangyang: You mean... You could be that infant shown in the footage?

Yangyang: They should be around your age by now.

Yangyang: Hmm... But he/she doesn't have your golden eyes...

I'm one of the children that were saved.

Yangyang: But you are not from Jinzhou... Maybe the place you came from had a similar situation?

Yangyang: With this thought, perhaps, the reports about the sugar pearl are just one part of the clues. The other part telling your past and memories is hidden in the documents on the "Wei" shelf. What do you think?

Is she implying I'm a hero?

Yangyang: A hero...

Maybe she's trying to tell us something else.

Yangyang: Are you saying that the infomation contained in the sugar pearl doesn't directly point to your identity?

Talk about the founding of Jinzhou.

Yangyang: Jinzhou was the most recent city established in Huanglong. The Mountains of Spirits running from north to south divide Huanglong in two. The capital and the five cities are located in the Inner Huanglong, while Jinzhou is in Outer Huanglong.

Yangyang: The Battle of Gorge of Spirits was the catalyst to found Jinzhou. Tacet Discords were born in the Norfall Barrens and their invasion route was originally traceable. However, the emergence of the Crownless changed it.

The Crownless?

Yangyang: The Crownless is a Tacet Discord that embodies war itself. The hatred of the fallen warriors and the fear of the survivors are the ingredients for it.

Yangyang: In the limited information available, some researchers have speculated its connection with the Threnodian.

What is Threnodian?

Yangyang: When it comes to the Threnodian, there is a lot to tell. For now, you can think of it this way: the Threnodian is the most powerful Tacet Discord. The Battle of the Threnodian that happened before was to fend it off.

Yangyang: According to the reports, the Crownless is very similar to the formidable Tacet Discord we encountered.

And it was in the Gorges of Spirits, too.

Yangyang: Our Sentinel, Jué, manifested before us in that battle.

Talk about the time indicated on the sundial.

Yangyang: We have the symbol "Wei" now. This should go with the time part.

Yangyang: But we can't yet solve the puzzle with this alone.

Yangyang: Maybe we can figure out the cardinal direction part by looking into the tokens again. It might have something to do with how we got one of the clues.

That's what I thought.

I enjoy solving puzzles.

That's a lot of hoops to jump through.

Yangyang: What do you think, Rover?

(Talk about the Magistrate.)

Yangyang: I've only seen our Magistrate once at the Appointment Ceremony, so I can't comment on her personality.

Yangyang: But her policies have proven effective and greatly benefited us since she took office.

Yangyang: Some believe that the remarkably far-sighted and profound decisions were actually devised by Counselor "Changli", due to the young age of the Magistrate.

Counselor Changli?

:Yangyang: Lady Changli is our Magistrate's advisor and former teacher. She once held a high position in the Central Secretariat, but she requested a transfer to Jinzhou.

:Yangyang: I've also heard about rumors painting her as a cunning manipulator rather than a loyal servant...

So the Magistrate is good at utilizing talents.

:Yangyang: You seem to hold Madam Magistrate in high regard.

Maybe not.

:Yangyang: But rumors are just that, rumors.

(Discuss all the tokens.)

(Talk about all the tokens.)

(Share your thoughts.)

Rover: Let's look back on what we've gathered so far: Our clues point to the sugar pearl as a key in solving the sundial's puzzle.

Rover: Simply put, one token can lead to multiple targets and one may hold several pieces of information.

Rover: We both had our reason for a meeting: the Magistrate had information to share, while I had questions to ask.

Rover: However, her tokens contain both what she wants to tell me and what I want to ask her, making it seem like she is complicating matters.

Or maybe...

Rover: ...Maybe she was running out of time. That's why she could only offer us scraps of the puzzle, instead of actually putting it together.

Rover: Or perhaps she's indeed a master strategist, leaving breadcrumbs for us to follow. The initial clues may simply be a test to...

...to weed out the wrong recipients.

Rover: She needed to ensure that those who may come across these tokens without understanding their true meaning would not be able to use them for access.

...to mislead ill-intentioned people.

Rover: In other words, there are people who need to be misled, and they may obtain these tokens.

Rover: (It seems there may be hidden dangers lurking in Jinzhou...)

Yangyang: ...

Rover: If it were you, Yangyang, what would you do to make sure the recipient gets what you mean?

Yangyang: ...I would emphasize my true message by repeating it, again and again.

Chixia: I'm back. I'm back! Finally done with my patrol. How's it going, Rover? Feeling spry as ever?

You make it sound like I'm old.

Yeah, feeling spry as ever.

Yangyang: Baizhi said he/she is in great health, no issue to report.

Yangyang: We've made some progress in investigating the tokens, too.

How did it go for you?

Chixia: Nothing special, a typical patrol. Well, Uncle Zhang's cat climbed a tree, and on its way down, it landed on Uncle Chenpi's Head, causing him to take a tumble. Some dogs kept barking and have been scaring the passersby, so I went there to calm them down.

Chixia: I received a report about someone going missing. I just logged the case and talked to the person who reported it. You're not the one they're searching for, though. Anyhow, I'll need to visit the person who reported the case tomorrow.

Chixia: Oh, I also tried searchin' for Rover's terminal number, but the system came up with nothing. The latest record was from today when I took Rover for registration. That's pretty much the update for now.

That's quite a lot. You almost put me to sleep.

Chixia: It's the middle of the night. Course you're tired.

That's quite a lot. You've got me feeling hungry.

Chixia: It's the middle of the night. Course you're hungry.

Looks like you had a fruitful day.

Chixia: You betcha!

Do you want me to come along tomorrow?

Chixia: Huh? Are you not gonna investigate the tokens?

Chixia: Oh right, I still owe you a meal! The night markets are closed though. Let's grab breakfast at Panhua's Restaurant tomorrow before my shift. Meet you guys there in the morning. Be there or be square!

What do we do now?

Chixia: Time to hit the hay, obviously, Don't tell me you're planning on some nightly activities?

Night is the time to beat up Tacet Discords.

Chixia: Then you'll feel right at home with the Midnight Rangers. Or more like the "Midnight Danger".

Night is the time to meet up with Jinhsi.

Chixia: What? You're hanging out with our Magistrate already? Quit bluffing.

Don't you ever stop!

Chixia: Stop it! We deserve 8-hour workdays!

Bedtime it is.

I'll be there.

Yangyang: Do you have a place to stay, Rover?

Sanhua has prepared a room for me.

Chixia: Talk about hospitality!

I'll be staying at the City Hall.

Chixia: Talk about hospitality! Boy, I wonder what it's like to live in the City Hall.

Not yet. Poor me.

Yangyang: I-I have a vacant guest room in my house, and if you don't mind coming over...

Chixia: Aren't you forgetting something, Yangyang? Rover told us this morning that he/she has been offered a stay at the City Hall...

Chixia: Alright, enough chatter or the sun's gonna come up. Let's get Rover back to the City Hall and we'll leave the rest to tomorrow!

No need for the trouble.

I'd like some time alone.

Okay.
