Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Wait, Miss MacArthur, you're not planning to go in by yourself, are you?"

“That’s the Memory Realm Memoir; the two of us combined could be trapped inside.”

"Alright, did you bring any weapons? I have a gun here..."

"I have it too."

Immediately, Yan Huan and Burton both pulled out AK47s and quickly loaded them.

"Oh ho?" Burton couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Yan Huan's equipment.

"My kindred spirit...you like this model too?"

"Just shoot and you're done!"

The two rushed into the office.

The area was now in complete chaos, with memory domain memes and out-of-control service equipment roaming everywhere, turning it into a danger zone.

Burton nervously began to speak:

"We need to keep an eye on the progress while collecting the documents on the ground. The higher-ups are pressing us hard, so let's get started!"

"Row."

Yan Huan rolled over and found herself in a corner, where she skillfully picked up a document.

Hey, you have a sharp eye!

Burton quickly came to Yan Huan's side and together they examined what kind of document it was.

"Oh, it's just a recruitment document for the Honkai Impact 3rd test server. It's not very useful."

"Why?" Yan Huan tilted her head.

Burton spoke eloquently:

"How could a normal person possibly get a test qualification?"

"Throw it away quickly, I wouldn't even want this kind of trash as toilet paper."

"Oh."

Yan Huan crumpled the document into a ball and tossed it casually, which coincidentally landed on a Memory Realm Meme in the distance.

"..." Yi Yu Meiyin stopped in her tracks, revealing a dangerous aura to the two of them.

Chapter 632 Feeling like I lost out

"You bastard, where did you throw that?!"

Burton and Yan Huan immediately opened fire, spraying bullets at the humanoid memory domain meme before it could charge at them.

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang——

Sparks flew up on its blue-purple glass body, and the sound of bullets colliding was incredibly crisp.

"Damn it, this thing is hard!"

Burton, gripping the AK, frowned and said:

"This meme is called [My Heart Is Broken]! Although I am very fragile inside, my outer defenses are as strong as a tortoise shell!"

"Let's retreat, let's not waste time here!"

"Retreat? Good!"

Yan Huan immediately pulled out a flashbang from her pocket and threw it in the direction of Memory Realm Memoir.

boom--

With a sudden flash of light, a look of confusion crossed [My Heart Shattered]'s crimson eyes.

At the same time, a scream came from next to Yan Huan.

"Aaaaaah—couldn't you have told me before you threw the flashbang?! You blinded me!"

"Sorry—but it's nothing serious, this way."

Yan Huan helped Burton and ran in another direction.

Midway through, Yan Huan found another stack of documents on the ground.

Burton forced his eyes open and glanced at it:

"This is... a reimbursement form for cross-star system business trip expenses. There's going to be some unlucky guy who's going to have to spend money."

"But it's no use... Let's search deeper!"

As the two were moving forward, another Memory Realm Meme appeared in front of them, and it seemed to have no eyes at all.

Seeing the appearance of this Memory Realm meme, Burton finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Ah, this memory domain meme is relatively easy to deal with. Its name is [What is Hidden in the Mirror], and it can transform into the appearance of other creatures to fight."

"Now that it's looking at us, it doesn't matter if it turns on us, since it doesn't have an AK anyway..."

But in the next moment, [What is hidden in the mirror] changed, turning into a long-haired man with golden eyes, who put his hands in his pockets and gave the two a kind smile.

"???" Burton looked completely bewildered.

"Who is this? Is this person even here? Or... is this the person who came in earlier?!"

"Holy crap?!" Upon seeing this, Yan Huan immediately pulled out a rocket launcher from his pocket and quickly fired a shot forward.

boom--! !

Amidst the deafening explosion, everything was reduced to wisps of black smoke, including the Memory Domain Meme.

"Huh? He's dead already?"

Watching the memory domain meme, which could only replicate humans, turn into fragments, Yan Huan felt that she might have overestimated it.

This thing... can't replicate the original's strength either.

"What are you doing... cough cough cough!" Burton coughed a few times, his whole body choked by the smoke from the recent bombing.

"As for using a rocket launcher? Wait... where did you pull that out from? Never mind... I hope no documents are damaged, otherwise we'll be doomed if the higher-ups deduct our pay."

"Don't worry, this rocket nose is custom-made," Yan Huan said confidently.

"It only kills specific targets. Look, it wasn't just the monster that got blown to pieces, the bookshelf next to it was completely unharmed."

"Oh?" Burton looked closely and realized it was indeed true.

"Wow, you're really well-prepared!"

"Hurry up, we need to grab a few more documents and then we have to retreat. The commotion just now will attract more Memory Realm Memes, and if we get surrounded, we'll be in big trouble!"

The two quickened their pace, searching through the cluttered office that resembled a palace, picking up almost anything that looked like a document.

About five minutes later, Burton shouted:

"I heard a roar in the distance! Hurry, hurry! Don't pick them up! Let's go outside and see what these documents are. We'll come back to pick them up after the Memory Realm Memories have calmed down!"

"alright."

The two of them retreated decisively, running all the way out of the so-called palace-like office.

Burton was panting heavily after closing the door.

"I was terrified. Those Memories looked absolutely terrifying... If it weren't for the money, I would never want to see them again."

He looked at Yan Huan, only to find that she hadn't broken a sweat at all, which puzzled him.

"Why do you look so calm? That's a Memory Realm Meme... Most people would be terrified if they saw it."

"I watch a lot of horror movies, it's no problem."

Yan Huan squatted on the ground, arranging and organizing the documents one by one.

Seeing this, Burton couldn't help but speak:

"Speaking of which, you must be curious about what's written on all these documents after all this hard work, right?"

He walked over to Yan Huan and squatted down beside her, looking at the documents on the ground:

"Just by taking a sneaky look, you can make a fortune whether you try to squeeze money out of those people or sell it to other interested parties."

"Huh?" Yan Huan looked at Burton with some surprise: "Aren't you a regular employee?"

Burton shrugged:

"I never said I was a respectable person; I'm just a wage earner."

"The higher-ups entrust the task to the hounds, the hound family then passes the task down to the lower levels, and the lower levels outsource the work to us. We then recruit people to do the work for them, so it's normal to get a little tip."

"If I hadn't only been able to recruit you this time, why would I have personally taken to the front lines?"

Burton sighed and reached for the documents on the floor.

"what?"

"These documents...aren't they a bit...?"

"What do they usually watch, like 'Postpartum Care by the Dream Theatre' and 'One Hundred Ways to Drink Solomon'?"

"These don't seem to be the documents the higher-ups need either. We need to go back in and look for more..."

After resting for a while, Burton said to Yan Huan:

"Let's go, charge?"

Yan Huan glanced at Burton and smiled slightly: "I have a small question."

"what is the problem?"

"This is a Memory Realm meme... I just fired a rocket that cost more than 5,000 credits. Is it still necessary for me to continue?"

"...?" Upon hearing this, Burton blinked, thinking that it actually made some sense.

"Hey...you're not going to desert your post at the last minute, are you?"

"emmmmm..."
