Chixia: “How did it go? Anyone hurt? Lemme check on you! Phew! You’re still in one piece.”

Rover: “Course I am. You’re overreacting.”

Chixia: “Okay okay. Anything new about the tokens?”

You tell Chixia of your findings in the Desorock Highlands and Qichi Village.

Chixia: “So those Fractsidus goons are here in Jinzhou now. Things are more serious than I thought.”

Rover: “I wonder what they are up to.”

Chixia: “Beats me. I’ve only ran into some bozos before. Those wackos are hellbent on making their own Resonators. Said there’s no right or wrong when it comes to Resonance powers and everyone should have the right to them.”

Yangyang: “They use mechanical manipulation to integrate parts of Tacet Discords into human bodies. Seeking power with such gruesome acts… I cannot bring myself to understand them.”

Chixia: “That Scar guy you mentioned sounds like he’s on a whole other level. How did the fight go?”

Yangyang: “He… It seems he didn’t intend to kill us. I would say he was even pulling his punches. I don’t know what he want from us. But Madam Magistrate may have intended to hint something by letting us run into him.”

Chixia: “I still can’t wrap my head around what happened in that village… I went over the files. That case is ancient. It was dealt with and archived way before our current Magistrate took office.”

Yangyang: “What happened to the village in the end?”

Chixia: “Don’t worry, the crooks were brought to justice, and most of the villagers were relocated to new settlements. But I didn’t find anything about in the files about that little girl you mentioned.”

Yangyang: “So Scar indeed took her away.”

Rover: “And it seems he did not hurt her. Maybe the Fractsidus had plans to use her for something.”

Yangyang: “I agree. If only we could capture him…”

Chixia: “Ugh… I’m so lost. Why did Madam Magistrate point you to Qichi Village anyway? What did she want to tell you with that?”

Yangyang: “And then Scar went there to tamper with the site and mislead you with fake clues…”

Rover: “Or maybe it’s the other way around.”

Yangyang: “You mean… The Fractsidus was planning to tell you something about what had happened in that village. Then our Magistrate intercepted by leading you there before they could?”
