Moonlight bathed the world, and all things slumbered. Yet, some still toiled diligently, like, for instance…
Liyue Harbor, Ministry of Civil Affairs. Under the night sky, only one room glowed with light.
Two figures sat facing each other, surrounded by piles of documents. One hand held a pen, the other gently caressed the papers. They quickly read, offering precise and reasonable solutions.
"Only two files left, Ganyu. Shall we grab a late-night snack afterward? I'll cook."
Having finished the files in hand, the purple-haired beauty, whose hairstyle resembled cat ears, extended the invitation to her hardworking companion. However, her gaze never left the documents.
She spoke casually while picking up the next file.
"Sounds good, Keqing... Hmm?"
As she casually picked up the next document, Ganyu paused, a slight look of surprise on her face.
The document she had just picked up transformed into a streak of light. As a half-adeptus, Ganyu hadn't reacted in time. By the time she realized what was happening, the light had already entered her mind through her forehead.
At the same time, Keqing's movements froze. In the next instant, two more streams of light flashed. Ganyu and Keqing stood up, each holding their respective weapons, warily scanning their surroundings.
"Who's there!?" x2
Following their wary shouts, two transparent panels instantly appeared before them.
[Lin Ze's Diary Copy *Keqing (Ganyu) Exclusive]
"This is..."
Ganyu hesitated as she looked at the transparent panel before her, then began to use her Immortal Arts to examine herself and Keqing.
Keqing, knowing Ganyu's identity, didn't refuse her offer of help.
After a thorough examination, they quickly understood the situation.
It was an unknown artifact, similar to Sumeru's Akasha.
The difference was that the Akasha was worn on the ear, while this artifact resided within their Sea of Consciousness.
The Akasha's content was only visible to the wearer, however, they could both see the panel of this artifact.
No method they tried could remove it, but it also seemed harmless. Ganyu's various attempts to probe it with Immortal Arts met with no response, nor could she seal it.
Having confirmed that the suddenly appearing panel was harmless, the two of them turned their attention back to their work.
Playtime aside, now it was time to focus on the most important thing: their work.
Knowing that they had finished their work and left the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the two of them turned their attention back to the diary copy.
"Since this is a copy of a diary and it appeared in our Sea of Consciousness in this way, it should be inviting us to read it, right?"
As the Yuheng Star of the Liyue Qixing, Keqing had seen everything. With her attention now off work, she began to study the diary copy.
"Well, I think that's probably right, but I'm not sure what will happen after we read the following content."
Hesitating for a couple of seconds, Ganyu spoke with some concern.
This thing appeared in the Ministry of Civil Affairs out of nowhere, entered their Sea of Consciousness, and Immortal Arts were ineffective against it. Ganyu couldn't help but wonder who was behind it and what they wanted.
"Then I'll take the first step to test it out. If I get caught, with your status, Ganyu, you can handle it properly and save me at the same time."
Keqing was always bold and careful, and also pragmatic. Ganyu was a half-adeptus, and if she got caught, Ganyu's connections could play a good role.
Maybe she could even go directly to Rex Lapis and explain everything to him, and he could save her in the end.
As everyone knows, Liyue only has Rex Lapis fanatics and twisted Rex Lapis fanatics; the only hater is Rex Lapis himself.
"This is too dangerous..."
Before Ganyu could finish speaking, Keqing had already tried to turn the next page of the diary copy.
What she saw was nothing but text, and after waiting patiently for a moment, nothing happened.
This also made the cautious Keqing breathe a sigh of relief. She then focused her attention on the text in the panel.
Seeing this, Ganyu also relaxed and dispersed the Immortal Arts she had hastily gathered. Like Keqing, she turned the next page of the diary copy.
So far, it was indeed harmless. The next thing to pay attention to was the text on the diary copy.
Since this is a diary instance, it should be the diary written by this person named Lin Ze, right?
Although it's not good to read someone else's diary, the situation is too strange, so I'll have to take things one step at a time.
It's like I had a really realistic dream.
As an original eight-level newbie, the Honkai's cloud captain, the Star Rail's launch trailblazer, it makes sense to appear in Teyvat after transmigrating....
What the hell!
Who transmigrates after falling asleep?! If I'm going to transmigrate, it's fine if my real body does, but why when I'm asleep?! Where are my clothes?! How am I supposed to be seen by anyone from now on?!
I hope this damn system does something useful. After I finish writing the first diary entry, I hope it gives me a set of clothes. This is probably the only function of this damn system, right?
[After all, since I've transmigrated, I also possess Black Flag Power. I know the rules, understand the rules, am familiar with the rules, and can override the rules.]
[Relying on Black Flag Power, I can also live a very carefree life, wait... Black Flag Power... override the rules?]
[I get it. Perhaps I can make a set of clothes myself. The night is perfect, there are no Hilichurls nearby, and there's a forest. Goodbye, system, I'm going to rely on myself.]
After reading the words on the transparent panel, Keqing and Ganyu looked at each other. The words were few, leaving a lot of blank space. It was clear that the diary's owner really stopped writing halfway through.
"It's very strange. Even though these are words I've never heard of, I can still understand their concept, their meaning, either clearly or vaguely."
Ganyu found it very interesting. Although there were many things in the diary that were difficult to understand, she could still understand their meaning and concepts, either clearly or unclearly. This artifact is amazing.
"In comparison, I'm more curious about what this Black Flag Power that Lin Ze mentioned is.
Is there really such a magical power in the world?"
Keqing nodded slightly and responded softly.
Black Flag Power: Recognize the rules, understand the rules, be familiar with the rules, and surpass the rules.
Could such a magical power really exist? If it truly did exist, then she wouldn't be polite. She also wondered where this person named Lin Ze was right now.
"Perhaps, in other worlds, there truly is such a magical power."
Mentioning Black Flag Power, Ganyu was also very interested. If this power was real, it was definitely not to be underestimated!
"Wait, there's new content."
