Fan-made short videos have appeared in Honkai Impact 3rd, and characters have been created and sent

After discussion, the train crew agreed to cooperate, and Xing entered the hidden code that the Star Core Hunter had given to Walter Yang into the Dream Pool, returning to the original dream.

[Paimon: To ensure the smooth running of the Music Festival, they actually disregarded the safety of innocent civilians. The clan is truly no good!]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd) Seele: Seeing the train always gives me a sense of peace, like coming home.]

[March 7th: Hmph, of course, we train crews are family.]

[March 7th: Speaking of which, the Star Core Hunters are really persistent; they've even set up a presence in Pinocchio, causing endless trouble!]

[Wendy: It's alright, this is a good thing. The Star Core Hunter is Star's family; no matter who harms her, the Star Core Hunter won't harm her.]

[Kiana: Although Star Core Hunters are all ruthless wanted criminals in that world, I agree with that statement.]

[Sambo: Haha, now that you mention it, it feels like Star is an undercover agent planted by the Star Core Hunters on the Starry Sky Train.]

[Star didn't meet up with the train crew as smoothly as she had agreed. After exploring, she ended up reuniting with Huang Quan instead.]

Huang Quan wanted to travel with the two of them, and after thinking it over, Xing agreed. The group then set off together.

[Another video clip flashed on the screen—this time, Xing wasn't prepared to agree to Huang Quan's company, but after repeatedly choosing to refuse, the "refuse" option turned into a red "agree" button, as if an external force had forcibly changed her mind.]

[Keqing: Strange. I remember when Xing first came to Pinocchio, it was Huang Quan who taught her how to climb the wall, but now, seeing Xing climb the wall, she actually said, "You can actually do that."]

[Paimon: Maybe he just forgot? I remember Huang Quan is very forgetful, he can't even remember the way.]

[Nasita: It can't be that simple. Huang Quan must possess some special power, otherwise why wouldn't Xing have been able to refuse her request?]

[Qingque: This is terrifying to think about.]

[Su Chang: What does this eerie red writing mean? The more I look at it, the scarier I get... Waaah... I'm most afraid of this kind of thing!]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: If Pinocchio is indeed engaging in time loops as speculated, then Huang Quan is likely able to retain some memories within these loops; her occasional forgetfulness is a side effect of this ability.]

After much exploration, the Black Swan could no longer tolerate the endless puzzle-solving and decided to use some means to forcibly open the passage.

But when Black Swan used the Memory Master's unique skill to sense the memory domain, she sensed the fleeing fireflies.

Clearly, the firefly didn't return to reality like the star, but instead remained forcibly in the dream.

[The Black Swan sensed the Memory Realm Memento near Firefly. To save Firefly, the group immediately sped towards the main hall.]

Not long after, they finally arrived at the location of the firefly. Sensing someone approaching, the firefly turned around, and upon seeing the star, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Xing ran excitedly towards Liuying, but behind her, a purple mist billowed, and the monster [What Faces Death] reappeared.

[What Faces Death] swept past the stars, hurtling straight towards the firefly, engulfing it, and in the next instant, its blade-like tail pierced the firefly's chest.

All of this happened so fast that Xing didn't even realize what was happening.

[Liu Ying looked at the stars and tears streamed down her face: "I'm...sorry..."]

[What is Facing Death] Seemingly realizing that the firefly was still alive, it exerted its strength again, driving the blade's tail deeper. Only then did the monster finally release the firefly.

Xing threw away her baseball bat, trying to catch the firefly falling from the sky, but before she could hug the girl, the firefly turned into liquid and disappeared with its glow.

Where the fireflies had disappeared, Xing found half of a nearly vanished phone. On it remained an unsent message—a photo of her and the fireflies.

[Xing is heartbroken.]

[March 7th: The firefly became especially happy the moment it saw the star, but in the end...]

[Marcelle: The pain of watching your loved one melt away before your eyes...it's so painful!]

[Aha: She's dead, dead right in front of you! All you can do is clutch your baseball bat, hide in a corner and silently fantasize about charging for her with your flamethrower, but you can't do anything! She's dead! But even in her dying moments, she dreamed that you could save her. You can't do anything! You can't even give her a final hug!]

[Kiana: The final embrace...]

She recalled how she had bumped into Himeko-sensei during the last lesson.

[Fireworks: Hoshi saved me. The way she swung her baseball bat was hilarious. She's the best Trail Blazer I've ever known.]

[Fireworks: I went shopping with Hoshino, and although she spent all my budget without any hesitation, it's all the apology I can give her.]

[Fireworks: Hoshi and I rescued Ms. Yomi. Although she misunderstood that we were on a date, I felt inexplicably happy.]

[Fireworks: I took Hoshino to my secret hideout, and we opened up to each other. In the photo, the most beautiful shooting star in the world is streaking across our heads.]

[Fireworks: When I encountered something that led to death, I was captured by a monster, but Hoshi was by my side, so I wasn't afraid.]

[Fireworks: Stars are the best.]

[Star: Quack, stop talking!]

This was clearly the second time she had seen this stereotyped post, but she still easily broke down.

[Fireworks: Hehe, speaking of which, I remember Pure Knight didn't accept the family's invitation, but now, look, Firefly Juice is here.]

[Sambo: Tsk, you're still as awful as ever.]

[Star: Firefly, my firefly!]

[Star: Damn it, I must bring Firefly back! To achieve this, my revenge will be more radical than the hunt, my methods more thorough than destruction, my recollections more profound than memory, my patience more enduring than nothingness, my plans more perfect than intellect, my bottom line more twisted than pleasure, and my desires purer than abundance!]

[Fireworks: Why isn't there any protection? Is it because you failed to protect a girl?]

[Star: You!]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Don't worry, Firefly shouldn't be dead. Remember when you first entered Pinocchio? You were killed by Yomi, and liquid was scattered all over the ground, but in the end, you were just sent out of the dream.]

[Furina: That doesn't mean the future star will be even sadder. After all, Firefly suffers from entropy loss syndrome; gaining something and then losing it again is the most painful thing.]

[Aha: It's alright, the train crew still has Uncle Yang! He's experienced, and the invincible Herrscher of Reason will step in!]

[Star: Speaking of which, I remember that guy named Otto, who successfully resurrected his lover, right?]

[Star: Help me, Your Excellency! I want to create a world with fireflies!]

From questioning Otto, to hating Otto, to understanding Otto, to empathizing with Otto, to finally becoming Otto, and to transcending Otto!

Chapter 80 Fireworks: He lost his sister, but he still has me (4k)

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: That damned Otto!]

Xing used to be a little eccentric at times, but she was a good girl. However, she went astray after meeting Otto!

[Otto: My old friend, this child was only a step too late, a little too late, hesitant for a moment. After that, she only wanted to atone for her cowardice.]

To be honest, seeing this scene made him feel a little uncomfortable—the spot where Liuying was stabbed was exactly the same as the spot where Kallen was stabbed.

[Fireworks: Firefly must have been out of money for food, low on energy, and careless because she didn't have time to flash, which is why she was ambushed and killed. It's all your fault, Star!]

[Fireworks: Hehe, should we ask your companion if he still remembers how to use the Dragon Transformation Technique?]

[Star: I can't do anything.]

We were having a happy date just a moment ago, and then it turned into this in the blink of an eye.

She understood Yingxing's question back then.

Why?! Why?! Those abundant evil creatures can return time and time again, but she…

[Nasita: Perhaps being killed by death is the right thing to do. Remember that question—why does life sleep? Death is also a kind of sleep. And that saying: even in dreams there are impossible things. Find it, only then can you see it. The firefly may have just found a way to see the watchmaker.]

[Black Swan: In Pinocchio's dream, death truly does not exist; death only awakens one from the dream—this is the gift of harmony.]

[Star: That monster clearly ignored me and charged straight at Firefly. Does that mean Firefly's apology was because she didn't tell me everything?]

She didn't care about the riddle; she just wanted the fireflies to live well.

Moreover, Xingke remembered that among all the people in Pinocchio, Firefly was the only one who confessed to her that he came for the watchmaker's treasure.

[Wendy: Oh dear, is this another "Emperor assassinated, the whole place locked down" scenario?]

[Zhongli: …]

[Fireworks: Little Gray, don't worry, Firefly is just faking her death; she'll really die later.]

[Fireworks: Even if you can't save her, in the end, you can still activate the Star Core and blow the entire Pinocchio into the sky!]

Kiana: ...The final show will be taking place then, right?

[Sino: I have a feeling that March 7th has become the seventh day of the third lunar month, a day of hardship and decay.]

[Tinari: Seno, shut up.]

[Paimon: Speaking of which, I'm a little curious, could this meme kill Blade?]

[Jingyuan: I don't think so. The immortality gained from the plague that befell our ancestors isn't something that can be easily resolved.]

The Black Swan has temporarily departed to ensure the safety of Himeko and March 7th.

During the time Black Swan was gone, Huang Quan gave Xing a piece of advice: Treat your enemies with no mercy; that would be cruel to yourself. But you must recognize who your true enemies are, and understand the meaning and cost of wielding that blade.

Not long after, the returning Black Swan brought news of Himeko—she hoped that Black Swan could take Hoshino back to a safe location, and if there was time, investigate the matter of the Firefly first, and then meet up at the Clockwork Boy statue later.

[Black Swan begins to bring Hoshi and Yomi back to reality as requested by Ms. Himeko. During this process, the Memory Realm inexplicably becomes agitated. At the same time, Black Swan also recreates some of the activities of Firefly in the dream. She deduces that Firefly had acted with someone, but was betrayed midway and ultimately forced to the hotel lobby in the dream, where she died.]

The group following the phantom firefly encountered Sam, the Star Core Hunter, who was clearing out mobs, and a battle immediately ensued.

[Kaeya: This shouldn't be the battle between Sam and Yomi from the OP—Sam didn't deploy his wings, and Yomi didn't draw her sword.]

[Padofelis: Huang Quan's comment felt very much like Sakura's style.]

[Narcida: Before the battle, Sam didn't scan the star... Come to think of it, in our previous conversation, Firefly knew about the arrival of all factions, but didn't mention the Star Core Hunters; instead, she mentioned me.]

[Nasita: Right after Firefly was killed, Sam appeared, almost immediately. Could it be that Firefly is Sam, and this mech is Firefly's medical pod?]

[Kiana: At least Firefly is definitely not an ordinary person. When Hoshi was planning to solve the problem with a baseball bat, her first reaction was that it was too inefficient.]

[Silver Wolf: So, is it or isn't it? I can only say that missions with Sam around usually end in a flash.]

[Wendy: Suddenly I realize that everyone else in Pinocchio is a machine gun of riddles, their schemes flying everywhere; the train crew is deep in a vortex, struggling to find clues; only Sam: Fighting, awesome!]

While Sam and Yomi were fighting, Black Swan teleported Star to Sandstone's side—this meeting was a promise she made to Sandstone.

[Faced with Star's anger at being deceived, Sand Gold claims that Black Swan did not harm her; on the contrary, it rescued her from the "Sea Patrol Knights."]

He told Xing that Huang Quan was not some sea patroller, but a messenger bringing death and the end. As for whose messenger it was, it could be a hunt, destruction, or the end, but Sand Gold didn't care; all these destinies pointed to the same outcome.

[Gold has evidence to prove this—Grand Duke of the Annihilation Clan, Hellfire, also received an invitation from his family, but he died before he arrived in Pinocene, and the Eternal Flame Mansion fell apart and scattered. Afterwards, a seafaring ranger arrived in Pinocene and checked into the hotel with a music box.]
