Chapter 47: Time-Honored Skills
Night Star found Mo Rabbit sitting in the audience, staring blankly into space, and quickly sat down beside her.
“Mo Rabbit, have you found any clues?”
Mo Rabbit came to her senses and gave a slight shake of her head.
“Nope, there are very few people with the right characteristics. Even the few who might look like Origin of White were ruled out.”
Mo Rabbit sifted through massive amounts of data and information uploaded from various cities in her mind.
There was absolutely no one who matched the criteria in the database.
After a swift investigation by the Night Watchers, a conclusion could be drawn.
Now Mo Rabbit told Night Star there were three possibilities.
One, the form of Origin of White wasn’t registered in the national database, making them undocumented.
Another, Origin of White isn’t even in human form.
And a third possibility was that she simply wasn’t within the borders of Huaxia at all; perhaps she was in an unknown part of the world.
Only these three possibilities seemed most plausible.
Of course, there’s always the crazy possibility.
Origin of White’s power could be so overwhelming that they can interfere with everything, preventing anyone from finding them.
In essence, that’s what likely happened.
At last, only Night Star Lan could go find her.
If her Wish Princess recovered, identifying Origin of White would be much more feasible.
Otherwise, it would just be a waste.
Night Star wasn’t dejected upon hearing this conclusion; instead, she felt rather unsurprised.
“Indeed, it looks like I have to step up then.”
“Yeah, sorry I couldn’t help.”
“Don’t be silly. I’m grateful for your help, really. It’s not your fault if we don’t find them.”
“I like that you say that.”
Mo Rabbit turned her head to look at the stage, reflecting on past events.
Leading up to leaving the theater, there had been a blank stretch in her mind, as if some memories were wiped out.
This abnormality wasn’t ignored by Mo Rabbit.
So at that time, she planned to use divination to confirm the situation.
But instinctively, she knew not to do that.
Both body and soul resisted immensely.
It was around then that Mo Rabbit started forming vague guesses.
If that were true, it would be horrifying.
Origin of White truly lived up to their name.
Maybe they sensed Night Star Lan intended to find them via the Night Watchers.
Or even a chilling possibility.
Maybe Origin of White had been lurking in the theater all along, unnoticed by everyone.
Currently, only Mo Rabbit dared think about this because she didn’t want to be targeted.
Night Star Lan was now extremely weak.
Her Wish Princess was still asleep and lacked protective powers.
Maintaining the status quo was preferable.
As long as nothing upset the balance, things could still turn out fine once night star recovers.
But if Mo Rabbit shared her theories, it would undoubtedly be perilous.
She certainly wasn’t naïve.
Mo Rabbit confirmed Origin of White probably had no bad intentions toward Night Star.
Otherwise, wouldn’t she have struck Night Star Lan down already?
Mo Rabbit stared at oblivious Night Star.
Praying silently.
“You’re on your own.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Just be careful.”
“How cryptic. I feel my Wish Princess will recover soon! Who’d even put me in danger then?”
“Only the fates know…”
Mo Rabbit shrugged, not bothering to clarify.
Sometimes, silence was the best option.
Partially to protect Night Star.
Hopefully Night Star notices.
But based on the current circumstances.
She seemed completely unaware.
Is this who she was before?
Or did losing her Wish Princess blunt her perception too?
Mo Rabbit mused that while Future Night Star had become quite eccentric, she remained sharp-minded, not just the doted-on mascot.
After all, Night Star Lan in this future frequently initiated interactions with girls—she was anything but listless.
Right now, she just hopes Night Star doesn’t fall for Origin of White’s trickery.
“Oh right, Mo Rabbit, thanks for suggesting I check the Starweb HQ. Otherwise, I’d be in a mess.”
Night Star, in this future, lacks recent three-year memories, unaware of past events.
Not even having a girlfriend!
Without those experiences, Night Star wouldn’t visit Starweb HQ voluntarily, nor cross paths with Luo Xi.
Neglecting affection could strain their relationship!
Just thinking about such a scenario gave Night Star chills.
Mo Rabbit paused, sensing an intensely dangerous gaze, threateningly aimed her way.
Sure enough.
That memory was erased.
Could it be Origin of White is at Starweb HQ?
Perhaps they’ve already connected with Night Star.
What a bizarre twist of fate?
Laughing at the irony of nationwide Night Watchers hunting Origin of White while Origin of White hunts Night Star.
But there was no laughter now.
She felt unease.
Messing this up could spell doom.
Yet that strange entity controlled her once before.
Why not again this time?
Too many people could expose them?
Or maybe, knowing the truth, they saw no need to control her?
Most probable.
Mo Rabbit assumed she was cornered.
If they knew her well, silent threats were most effective.
Mind-reading or memory scans reveal someone’s core.
She wasn’t sure which technique they used.
Possibly her thoughts were already exposed.
Therefore, cooperating with mysterious Origin of White was a rational decision.
After all, Night Star currently couldn’t act.
Mo Rabbit smiled.
“Nothing much, it was my duty. Since you lack those three years of memories, I as the Rose Theater’s announcer must assist the audience performers wholeheartedly.”
“Mm, big help. Without your tip, I’d have messed up an important task.”
“You got it. If you wish to thank me, give the past me a new possibility. However, I’m not saying I am entirely content right now.”
Mo Rabbit spoke cheerfully, hiding nothing.
Night Star sank into deep thought.
“I’ll consider it, so less harm done, okay?”
“Inevitably so…”
“It’s a tradition~”
Seeing Night Star’s confident face, Mo Rabbit wordlessly gave a thumbs-up.
“Well done, you’re dignified.”
