Chapter 27: White-haired and Socio-phobic
“Ah screw it, let’s see how things go.”
Mo Rabbit shook her head helplessly, pushing away all those complicated thoughts swirling in her mind, and started hobbling forward with her short little legs.
Her small body was quite troublesome, making her walk much slower, and she always had to look up at people when talking to them.
She never thought she’d have to be in this form even after returning to the capital.
Indeed, she couldn’t escape her fate as Mo Rabbit.
Mo Rabbit seriously suspected that this was due to that little loli’s malicious curse.
Everybody knew that Wish Princess could do almost anything and also adored Night Star Lan.
So why not attribute this to Wish Princess?
Back when she first joined the theater group, there hadn’t been any such issues, even if she transformed into an announcer, it was still in her youthful form.
However, because of some weird wish from that little loli, when Mo Tu transformed into an announcer, he inevitably turned into a little loli himself.
Ji!
Ji within ji!
Fortunately, it was just her moving alone this time. The other colleagues weren’t around; otherwise, it would have been an enormous embarrassment.
Mo Rabbit definitely didn’t want her colleagues seeing her in this state.
Or else fleeing Earth would only be a matter of time.
Back to reality.
Mo Rabbit walked through the mist, calmly observing her surroundings, trying hard to see anything else beyond.
But the mist was thick.
Thick enough to turn the entire space into a white, ghostly world.
Honesty check:
Most people stuck in such an unknown, directionless environment would definitely feel panic and confusion.
But Mo Rabbit wasn’t just anyone.
To ordinary folks, this dense mist could easily become a labyrinth they couldn’t escape and a deadlock where they’d be stuck in one spot.
Yet Mo Rabbit’s abilities were exactly tailored for this scenario.
Her ability from the [He Tu Luo Shu] to decode the flow of energy was incredibly effective against illusion-based labyrinths that disorient people.
To lose her sense of direction in such mist, even Mo Rabbit would need Supernova Star Eclipses to intervene.
Otherwise, it’d be futile.
Last time, Mo Rabbit used this very ability to locate Lianhua, who had eclipsed star status, across the vast Shanghe city.
Escaping the mist was child’s play compared to that.
Next second…
A route appeared in Mo Rabbit’s mind, a path illuminated like a beacon.
Mo Rabbit wasted no time and followed this path without hesitation.
As time passed, the surrounding mist gradually thinned, far less densely packed than before,
When she finally exited the mist, she could make out the environment around her, her eyes gleaming with thoughtful reflection.
“This must be beyond the misty zone. Quite unexpected.”
This area looked like a modern setting, complete with buildings, unlike the congested outer world.
This place didn’t feel as oppressive as a metal jungle filled with skyscrapers.
Among these buildings, Mo Rabbit sensed multiple eerie energies, clearly signatures of Star Eclipse Embodiments.
The Star Eclipses in the cemetery had somehow found their way to this space, residing in modern houses.
That’s pretty strange.
Star Eclipses outside usually didn’t settle down inside houses, mostly prowling around out of obsession.
This was the Hero Cemetery’s peculiar charm.
Mo Rabbit wanted badly to make a quip but decided against it.
Trouble often comes from your mouth, and sometimes it’s best to keep some things to yourself.
Just then, Mo Rabbit detected an approaching presence, possibly another Star Eclipse Embodiment.
“Who could it be?”
She stood perfectly still, not planning on running.
The fastest way to gather information wasn’t by relying on faded divination powers but by directly interrogating the nearby Star Eclipse Embodiments.
Mo Rabbit’s mind held the data she had collected on all the Night Watchers at the Hero Cemetery.
There was no panic unless she encountered the First Generation Star Eclipses themselves.
As the figure approached, Mo Rabbit finally made out her face—a young girl.
White hair?
Mo Rabbit had seen plenty of people with white hair.
A popular internet saying went:
“White hair and red eyes is China’s ultimate aesthetic target, with many favoring such features on beautiful girls.”
Quite strange indeed.
Of course, Mo Rabbit didn’t mind in the least.
After all, the Rising Sun Theater Group had a star with white hair and red eyes as an audience performer.
Leaving that aside, Mo Rabbit recalled the fallen list having some white-haired individuals, though their hair color alone might not be recognizable.
Soon, as Mo Rabbit got a clear view of her, she could identify her identity.
Not your typical white hair and red eye, but something more unique—white hair with heterochromia, one golden and one blue eye, quite distinctive.
“Fur Nine Song, ranked Area-level Sunlight Night Watcher, traits include white hair with gold-blue heterochromia and a fondness for foxes. Her two tufts of hair resemble fox ears and she’s often mistaken as a fox girl.”
Apart from that, she was still a beauty, quite popular when alive.
Probably passed away about ten years ago.
“Do you recognize me?”
A cold voice reached Mo Rabbit’s ear, giving off a vibe of extreme coolness.
Fox Nine Song moved silently in front of Mo Rabbit, towering over her by a few dozen centimeters, exuding considerable pressure.
Mo Rabbit stood firm, lifting her head to meet her gaze.
“Do you remember the past?”
“I don’t have any memories of the past…”
Fox Nine Song’s expression seemed slightly downcast; losing her memories clearly pained her.
Now as a Star Eclipse, her existence depended solely on her obsessions.
Star Holders generally lost their memories post-transformation into Star Eclipses, and keeping them intact was rare.
Mo Rabbit suddenly felt compelled to ask:
“Could you tell me what your obsession is?”
Despite looking aloof, Fox Nine Song seemed like a reasonable person, not displaying the neurotic qualities of a deranged Star Eclipse, making her appear more approachable.
Her demeanor likely stemmed from her own obsession.
Fox Nine Song fell silent for a moment before not hiding anything.
“Maybe… creating a world where nobody gets hurt.”
“Oh… that’s quite grand.”
Because it’s impossible, it’s impressive indeed.
This indicates that she’s never going to achieve it.
In reality, every day someone gets injured in the world, no matter the form the injury takes.
No one ever stays unharmed.
Creating such a world was simply out of reach.
Perhaps even Wish Princess wouldn’t be able to accomplish it.
Judging from her obsession, one can imagine what kind of person she was back in life.
She shouldn’t be so cold normally.
Mo Rabbit stared steadily at Fox Nine Song, offering a smile.
“Someone once told you that you resembled a cute, adorable fox-eared girl. If you added a fluffy big tail, you might become very popular.”
Fox Nine Song slightly parted her cherry lips, her eyes reflecting a myriad of complex emotions. Her face reddened and faltered, as if she wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent, calming down and assuming a cold demeanor again.
Mo Rabbit, after all, was adept at reading nuances. She paid close attention to details, noting Fox Nine Song’s earlier response.
Predictably, this girl was socially awkward and probably had a lot on her mind, unsure how to express herself.
When silence fell, her expression became even more distant, giving off that aloof vibe naturally.
Quite the low-key type!
Still, hell bent on creating that harm-free world.
Pretty unique indeed.
Mo Rabbit didn’t want to delve too deeply into Fox Nine Song’s past.
After all, meeting a resident here was rare, she might as well get some useful intel.
Divination in First-gen Star Eclipse territory wasn’t too reliable anyway, better to just ask a human.
But before Mo Rabbit could open her mouth, Fox Nine Song spoke up first.
“You look troubled. Need any help?”
“Yes.”
“I can take you to others. They might be able to assist you.”
“That works.”
