**Chapter 81: Purification**
At Waltonka.
Mo Rabbit, after a night of wild antics with Night Star, finally made her way back to the theater as dawn broke.
At this moment, she sensed something was off.
It felt like Night Star had changed just a little bit compared to before.
Specifically, she seemed a bit less gloomy.
Mo Rabbit had an extraordinary sense of observation, so it was natural for her to notice this detail.
She knew the reason behind Night Star’s gloom.
It was the inability to return to Yun Chang City through the Theater Door and an even greater inability to meet her other self.
For Night Star Lan, whose self-control was extremely severe, this was like a catastrophic blow.
However, she didn’t act too obviously about it, likely to prevent worrying those around her, but the unusual flicker in her eyes was still detectable.
But today, Mo Rabbit noticed that the hint of sadness in Night Star’s eyes seemed to have vanished.
Thanks to this.
Today, she appeared to be in remarkably good spirits, so much so that she partied with Mo Rabbit all night without so much as a nap—definitely beyond the ordinary.
This was a transformation!
And the change in Night Star was definitely not that simple; Mo Rabbit was determined to find out more.
“Audience Performer, have you noticed any changes in yourself lately?”
“Changes? Hmm…”
Night Star nodded thoughtfully, indicating she had been pondering.
“It seems like there’s a little.”
“Do tell.”
“I just feel much lighter in mood, full of energy! I can’t wait to jump on stage next performance and entertain everyone myself!”
Night Star exclaimed energetically, looking like an exuberant little loli, radiating a kind of sparkle.
Mo Rabbit thought that this absurd brightness was just a tad overwhelming.
“Turns out there really is a change…”
The problem lay with Night Star’s mindset; she seemed like a completely different person now.
If the old Night Star was a lazy, carefree spirit, the new one was a ball of energy and a hard worker.
What a shocking transformation!
So strange.
To confirm whether something was really off, Mo Rabbit continued her inquiries without missing a beat.
“And what about Yun Chang City? Don’t you miss your Night Lan?”
“Night Lan? Oh, I miss her tons! I wonder how she’s doing, but I can only wait until the Rising Sun Theater Group meets its goals before I can go back and hang out with her. A month seems a bit torturous, but I can totally hold on!”
“Whoa…” Mo Rabbit’s eyes widened.
There it was!
The feeling of a split!
When Night Star said that, it was clear she was referring to Night Lan as someone else entirely—not herself!
But the catch is that Night Lan is Night Star, and Night Star is Night Lan; together, they complete the essence of Night Star Lan. Why was there this sense of division?
Mo Rabbit furrowed her brow.
“Audience Performer, don’t you see something unusual? Isn’t Night Lan you?”
Night Star tilted her head, looking adorably confused.
“Even though I miss Night Lan and feel like she’s another part of me, Night Lan is Night Lan, and I am me! It’s not the same, right?”
In other words, Night Star had mentally split her and Night Lan into two entities.
Could it be…
“Soul Split?”
Mo Rabbit muttered to herself, feeling an ominous chill.
Who would have thought that relocating to the Free Country would result in such a bizarre change?
What was once a single soul in two bodies seemed to have split into two individuals for some unknown reason.
The kicker? They both thought it was completely normal.
What on Earth was going on?
Was it the Wish Machine’s effect?
What nonsensical wish did this little loli make?
“Audience Performer, did you make a wish? You should know you and Night Lan are the same body.”
“Hmm… It was that way before, but not anymore.”
“So, you really did make a wish?”
“I don’t know, I might have just mumbled something and the Wish Machine took it literally…”
Night Star fell into another deep thought, trying to recall what she had said.
It looked like Night Lan and she had indeed become two distinct beings.
Their souls were different, yet they shared the same appearance—two little lolis.
Most likely, this was the work of the Wish Machine.
But upon discovering this, Night Star showed no resistance; instead, she seemed to find it quite entertaining.
However, in another light, she was no longer the original Night Star, but a version lacking the Night Lan part.
Now, she couldn’t think with her old mindset.
Mo Rabbit seemed to catch on to this notion and, after asking a few more questions, turned to leave.
She stepped outside and grabbed her equipment to contact someone.
Before long, a voice picked up on the other end.
“Mo Tu?” It was Night Lan’s voice, just like Night Star’s.
Mo Rabbit fell silent for a moment.
“I have a few questions for you.”
“Hmm… Ask away.”
“What do you think of Night Star?”
“Just as adorable as I am!”
“And what about everyone in the Rising Sun Theater Group?”
“Hmm… They should be Night Star’s friends, right? I’m not too sure about them…”
Upon hearing this, Mo Rabbit raised an eyebrow, and a theory flickered to life in her mind.
After asking a few more questions, she cut the connection.
“Two different identities, one for each person?”
When this thought crept up, she felt a mix of disbelief and intrigue.
The soul split of Night Star Lan didn’t seem like an ordinary split.
The identities of Audience Performer and Night Watcher appeared to have separated.
When Mo Rabbit asked Night Star what she thought of White Fish and her crew, she had also looked somewhat clueless.
The original Night Star Lan possessed double identities—one as the Night Watcher and the other as the Audience Performer—navigating two different social circles with two differing perspectives.
But the Wish Machine had split those identities apart.
Their memories were also completely severed.
Night Star was now just an Audience Performer, no longer a Night Watcher.
And Night Lan was merely a Night Watcher, no longer an Audience Performer.
Each only remembered the experiences associated with their current identity, leading them to live two utterly distinct lives.
Was this truly the method of their split?
After reaching this conclusion, Mo Rabbit found herself gasping in astonishment.
“Hiss—”
For some reason, her bl**d felt like it was boiling.
“This is getting interesting!”
A rosy hue crept onto Mo Rabbit’s cheeks, signaling her excitement.
This implied that the uncertainties of many things began to surge—there was a whiff of delightful chaos in the air!
Though this situation might only be temporary, it still promised a heap of fun.
What a pity that the Rising Sun Theater Group wasn’t in Huaxia at the moment; otherwise, Night Star and Night Lan would likely have created some hilariously awkward moments due to their differing positions.
But it was still fine.
Because the Audience Performer beside Mo Rabbit was undergoing purification.
Having lost her identity as a Night Watcher, she would integrate more fully into the theater group, becoming a more pure Audience Performer.
What kind of excitement would such an Audience Performer bring to the group?
Mo Rabbit couldn’t wait to find out.
Meanwhile.
An unknown entity quietly descended upon Waltonka.
A figure with white hair and golden eyes stood high above, gazing down at the city like an ordinary person.
“Is this the place?”
