Ch 514: Will you, Sword Demon, be greatly extinguished?
……
Reality, 「Honkai: Star Rail」 World.
Hearing her flattering words in the video, Qingque immediately felt a cold sweat break out.
“I’m dead! I’m dead! Why do they have to publicly release even these kinds of words!”
She looked up at Fu Xuan with some guilt, but found that Fu Xuan’s face was serious, and she didn’t seem to have noticed her flattering remarks to Lingsha in the video at all.
“Whew—thank goodness…”
She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
“It seems that the Chief Diviner is attracted by the news of Jianmu’s Revival, that’s why she didn’t notice me. What a stroke of luck…”
Having just rejoiced for two sentences, Qingque’s relaxed expression suddenly stiffened.
“No, why am I rejoicing! If the Chief Diviner heard my words and was unhappy and fired me from the Divination Commission, wouldn’t I be liberated?!”
Thinking this, she looked up at Fu Xuan, secretly praying in her heart, “Great Chief Diviner, please notice it quickly!”
Seemingly because she had been staring for too long, Fu Xuan noticed something, turned her head to look at her, and met her eyes.
Fu Xuan immediately gave a cold humph, “Qingque, after your shift today, I will check your Work progress today.
“If you don’t meet the standard, the Star Compass of the Divination Commission will have to turn a few more hours for you!”
“Ah… Ah?!”
……
The video continued to play.
After a busy time, Time quietly passed, and the Work of sorting out the Alchemy Commission’s forbidden books was coming to an end.
At this time, everyone noticed that March 7th in the corner of the Library had already fainted, with a forbidden book scattered beside her.
“Oh no, Miss Lingsha, please take a look at March 7th’s situation.” Qingque exclaimed in surprise.
“This little girl must have accidentally opened the forbidden book.” Lingsha Unknown calmly, “Qingque, you first close the book, I will prepare Incense Burning to wake her up.”
“I, I’ll go Unknown the forbidden book!” Qingque hurried forward, forcefully moving her head, glancing with her peripheral vision, and closed the forbidden book again.
“Miss Lingsha, what can I help with?” Stelle asked quickly.
Lingsha instructed, “Go and help Miss March 7th sit up. She has fallen into the illusion of the forbidden book. You have to use your voice to try to wake her up.”
Stelle nodded and stepped forward to help the unconscious March 7th up.
March 7th’s lips moved as if she was saying something. Seeing this, Stelle couldn’t help but concentrate and close their eyes to listen carefully.
“Stelle…” March 7th whispered Stelle’s name.
“I’m here, March.” Stelle replied quickly.
At this time, March 7th’s voice suddenly became low, “The sword has become the Sword Mound… only the Solitary 「Sword Demon」 remains…”
【Honkai: Star Rail-Stelle: Will your Sword Demon cause a great extinction?】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Silver Wolf: Will you also become the ender of the World?】
“March, wake up! That’s not your Experience! Hey—” Stelle quickly shouted loudly, wanting to wake March 7th from the illusion of the forbidden book.
“… Thousands of years… like a Dream, fleeting… fleeting…” March 7th continued to mutter intermittently.
“Such profound words don’t sound like you…” Stelle continued to shout.
【Honkai: Star Rail-March 7th: Hey! What do you mean, can’t I say some very profound and philosophical words?】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Stelle: …Do you believe it yourself…】
【Honkai: Star Rail-March 7th: Hey, you… Dan Heng, what do you think?】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Dan Heng: I have the right to remain silent.】
“Live on, March 7th!” Stelle continued to shout loudly.
“It’s not that bad, is it?!” Qingque complained.
With the help of Lingsha’s awakening incense, March 7th, who was trapped in the illusion, was finally successfully awakened.
“I…” March 7th covered her head in confusion.
“It seems that Miss March has finally woken up.” Lingsha breathed a slight sigh of relief upon Seeing this.
Looking at March still looking like she had a headache, Qingque apologized, “I’m sorry, I was too careless. I shouldn’t have let you come into contact with such Dangerous Things.”
Coming back to her Senses, March 7th shook her head gently, “…I’m already fine, thank you for everyone’s concern.”
“That forbidden book just now is called 《Solitary Shadow Sword Manual》, no wonder Miss March would be curious…” Qingque scratched her head.
Seeing this, March 7th slowly told about her Experience in the book.
“In the book, I am the Sword Demon, the Sword Demon is me… I once regretted stabbing a righteous person with a sword, pursued the mysteries of martial arts but was trapped by superb Swordsmanship, and sat withered in front of the Sword Mound for thirty years before dying depressed.”
Lingsha pondered for a moment and said, “It’s a bit too long to have this Experience in just a short period of one or two quarters of an hour.”
“But after reading to the end of the book, I only felt like I had read half of it.” March 7th looked a little hesitant, “So I was wondering, could I read it again…”
Qingque quickly dissuaded her, “Miss March, this book is really Dangerous!”
Lingsha showed a thoughtful look, nodding slightly, “I Understood. Miss March, don’t dwell too much on the Story in the book. After you go back today, don’t think about it and rest early. Next time you come to the Divination Commission, we’ll talk about it again, how about that?”
“Mm…” March 7th nodded gently.
“Well, after you recover, I will ask you clearly.”
In the figure of Stelle supporting March 7th as they left, the screen gradually faded into Darkness.
【Genshin Impact-Paimon: I don’t quite Understand, why does March 7th still want to read that forbidden book again if it’s so Dangerous?】
【Genshin Impact-Lumine: She said earlier that in the illusion, she experienced the life of that Sword Demon. Could it be that she also came into contact with the Swordsmanship mastered by that Sword Demon because of this?】
【Honkai Impact 3rd-Theresa: If that’s the case, then it’s quite reasonable. After all, with Miss Lingsha around, there doesn’t seem to be any Danger.】
【Honkai Impact 3rd-Tesla: Bird’s nest head, I always feel that things are not that simple…】
When the screen lit up again, another day had passed.
After her body and Spirit recovered a lot, March 7th brought Stelle to find Lingsha and Qingque again.
“Miss March, you want to read 《Solitary Shadow Sword Manual》 again. Can you tell me why?” Lingsha asked.
“I, I… originally wanted to find a Peerless Sword Manual and master a unique skill.” March 7th looked a little tangled, “But after reading 《Solitary Shadow Sword Manual》, how should I put it, I want to help him… I want to help the Sword Demon in the book.”
“Put down the desire to help others, respect their Fate.” Stelle spread their hands to the side.
“Although that’s what they say…”
March 7th bit her lip lightly, “The Sword Demon once made a mistake in an Accident, and his life was divided into two parts. In the first half, he was unknown and happy; in the second half, he practiced a shocking martial art, but he was preoccupied and unhappy.”
“…It’s a very Tradition Story.” Qingque commented.
March 7th took a deep breath, “He left his martial arts mysteries in the book waiting for someone with affinity to pick it up. I always feel that he is expecting me to do something…”
“Oh, you little girl, want to save a Past Story left in the book?”
Lingsha chuckled softly, “Interesting, I can help you, but you have to tell me what you will do first, otherwise I will not agree.”
