Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

"That sword from earlier."

"and then?"

"It was created by the power of reason, right? The core of the Herrscher of Reason is in our hands. Although I don't understand why now, you do have the core of the Herrscher of Reason. That sword should be a creation of the power. I have studied it."

"As expected of you, Möbius."

Mebius scoffed.

"You're too naive, Mu Juexi. Concern makes you lose your composure. You're nothing like the person you were when we first met. Why don't you keep lying? Why don't you stop pretending? A Herrscher, and a time traveler? That's hilarious."

Jue Xi remained silent. Möbius had also finished eating and put down his chopsticks.

She naturally left quite a lot, even though she said it so firmly. But how could she really not leave any for Alicia?

"Why don't you eat?"

"I'm not as big a eater as that pink fat lady. By the way, is it fun to use your privileges as the 'Fire Moth'?"

"generally."

Mebius asked seriously.

"So, Mu Juexi, would you like to join 'The Moth Chasing the Flame'?"

Chapter 131 The Herrscher of Thunder (Part 2)

"I don't want to."

"Hmph, fine. Actually, I didn't really want you to join. Laughable, after all, you're just a 'Herrscher,' who knows when you might hurt someone. Mu Juexi, you don't really think we can't handle the 'Herrscher of Thunder,' do you?"

"Yes, yes, Doctor, of course I know you can handle it, but only if Canghai City is destroyed and Changkong City is mostly destroyed."

Mebius was somewhat angry.

"Mu Juexi! You!"

At that moment, Alicia, along with Hua, saw the two men who were about to clash as soon as they came out.

Hua was in a hurry to get to the airport and said to Juexi.

"Teacher Juexi, thank you for taking care of me during this time. Thanks to you, I've made many friends at school. I'm going home now, and I'll bring you some local specialties from my hometown when school starts again. Bye-bye."

After saying that, Hua pulled her suitcase and walked out. Juexi, witnessing this, was truly annoyed and flustered…

Alicia could tell that Juexi and Mebius were both quite unhappy, so she went over to ease the tense atmosphere. As she walked over, she saw the food on the table, but why did it look... like it was leftovers? Was it just her imagination? Despite what Alicia thought, she still said with a cheerful expression.

"Oh my, this is so thoughtful of you. This is for me and Dr. Möbius, isn't it? How did you know that neither of us had eaten?"

Alicia sat down and picked up the bowl and chopsticks that Mebius had just used to eat.

"That's what Dr. Möbius left over..."

"It's alright, how could I possibly dislike Dr. Möbius?"

After Ellie finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Mebius, who also turned his head away, too lazy to look at Ellie.

"Sigh, I'll go make some more."

Jue Xi sighed and was about to go to the kitchen when she heard Alicia say behind her.

"No need, no need, I'll be fine after I finish this. Juexi, Hua left you a little note, go take a look. Hehe, maybe it's a love letter?~"

Jue Xi didn't reply, but instead of going to the kitchen, he turned and went to Hua's room. Looking at Hua's room, Jue Xi was reminded of the time when he and Kiana rented the house.

...

On the day they rented the room, Kiana happily took Juexi's hand and led him to follow the landlord around, showing him each room.

"Captain, let's rent this place. It's big, and there are lots of rooms. We can invite Hua and Alicia over. We'll stay in the biggest room. Oh, and make sure it's well-soundproofed. Landlady, is this room soundproof?"

The landlord wore a knowing look on his face.

"Don't worry, don't worry. My house is big. The soundproofing in every room is top-notch, so it won't matter how loud you shout. Besides, you two young people, what are you afraid of?"

Kiana was still a little embarrassed in front of strangers; why was this aunt so direct?

Jue Xi saw that Qi Bao was quite satisfied and said to the landlord.

"This house looks very nice, let's sign the contract, Auntie."

"Alright, alright. How long do you want to rent it, young man?"

"About a year and a half."

"it is good."

After the landlord finished speaking, he took out a contract and started writing, talking as he wrote.

"Young man, you are such a handsome man, and your girlfriend is beautiful too. If you didn't have a girlfriend, I would like to introduce my girlfriend to you."

"Ah."

Juexi didn't know what to say, so she could only nod in agreement, thinking to herself, "Why is this landlord so talkative..."

Not long after signing the contract and the landlord left, Kiana lay down on the bed.

"That feels good~ By the way, Captain, why did we lease it for a year and a half? When can we go back to Teyvat?"

Jue Xi also lay down next to Kiana and hugged her.

"I wonder when we can go back, Qi Bao. But don't worry, barring any unforeseen circumstances, time in Teyvat should be paused. As for why we're renting it for a year and a half, it's because at the latest, a Herrscher will be born in Canghai City, and once we've dealt with that, we should leave."

Kiana listened with an air of fearlessness.

"Oh, so you're a Herrscher. But with me here, no Herrscher is a match for you. Since you're here, then I am the guardian of Canghai City."

"Haha, yes, my Qibao is the best!"

"Hmph, I'm serious~ Captain, are you looking down on me?"

"Hehe, no, no, my Kiana is the 'Herrscher of the End' and can do anything."

"Yes."

...

……

The memory abruptly ended there. Juexi noticed a bowl of noodles on the table, with a piece of paper underneath.

"Teacher Juexi, I'm sorry, I don't know Kiana, but when I hear that name, it feels somewhat familiar. Maybe I've seen her in a dream? Anyway, I personally think that, just like Alicia said, Kiana must be a very strong girl, so please don't be sad. Oh, right. I took this bowl of noodles out first, it's not leftovers, so please eat it without worry. Remember to eat breakfast in the morning, otherwise it's not good for your health. Finally, I hope you can find Kiana soon. —Hua"

Jue Xi stared at the noodles on the table, which had clumped together. He was extremely irritable; he felt like cursing at even a dog he saw on the street.

"Why leave any noodles? They're all soggy, even a dog wouldn't eat them. I..."

Jue Xi slumped onto the bed, as if she had exhausted all her strength by doing nothing.

"What should I do... stand by and watch her die? Yes, to avoid the butterfly effect, I can't do anything. What if I change something and Kiana disappears? But I made a decision, so why am I so upset? Is it because Kiana disappeared? Yes, that must be it, it must be..."

Jue Xi muttered to herself, as if trying to convince herself.

The door was always open, never closed.

Alicia looked at Juexi and knocked on the door.

"what's up?"

Jue Xi spoke weakly, without even raising her head.

Alicia didn't go over, but stood at the door of the room and said.

"Well, I've finished washing the dishes. Dr. Möbius and I are leaving now. We're going to rescue someone. Take care."

Alicia walked slowly with her back to Juexi, and said something with a hint of disappointment as she was about to leave.

"I always thought we were the same. Mu Juexi... (I believed in you.)"

After saying this, Alicia left with Mebius, leaving Juexi alone in the huge house.

Juexi sat there for an unknown amount of time. She picked up a lump of noodles that had gone cold and clumped together on the table and ate it, mocking herself as she ate.

"Alicia, are you actually disappointed in me? By the way, did she say something else after that? Oh well, whatever, I'm a bad person anyway."

After finishing her noodles, Juexi took out her phone, which had no signal, and checked it. Then she made a call.

"If it goes through, I will..."

Before Juexi could finish speaking, she heard Hua's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Teacher Juexi."

"Damn! How can I make a call even when there's no signal?!"

Hua naturally heard this as well.

"Um, what's wrong? Teacher Juexi... what happened?"

Jue Xi remained silent for a while, looking at her phone with full signal in her hand...

"Useless 'Herrscher of Thunder' can't even seal off communications? Then you deserve to die... No wonder I..."

"Teacher, what are you saying? Herrscher of Thunder? What's that? You need to calm down."

Hua was a little anxious. His teacher's mood was very abnormal today. Could he be about to do something illegal? ... Mainly, he was often sick and had a poor constitution. He was afraid that someone might turn the tables on him again.

Wait a minute. Hua suddenly realized something. Teacher Juexi. He's often sick, which should be because he's physically weak, but his medical skills are also excellent. Wait a minute. Why does my class have so many PE classes? How could someone with his medical skills be so often sick?

Why? I can't remember. How strange...

While pondering this question, Jue Xi sighed, finally made a decision, and spoke first.

"Hua, what I'm about to say might sound unbelievable, but listen to me first. You're going to miss your flight today and you can't go home either. Go to Carol's house right now. I'll be waiting for you there. Trust me, just come straight here. You'll find out why when you get there."

"But I just arrived at the airport. I haven't completed the formalities yet..."

Jue Xi hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Hua thought for a moment.

"Oh well, I'll just go home tomorrow."

After saying that, Hua took a taxi back to the city.

And why did the signal suddenly come back on...? Because Mebius and Alicia had just left the ship when they returned and took action...

"Doctor, will this thing work? It's so small, how can it restore communications to the whole city?"
