—✦Honkai Star Rail World✦—
Astral Express, in the observation car—
The crew was holding a route meeting.
"Before the warp begins, this Conductor will broadcast a notification to everyone, Pam!"
As Pam's last words fell, the route meeting, came to an end.
"Next, we just wait for the warp, right? The Planet of Festivities, Penacony?"
"It sounds like a very interesting place."
Stelle walked to the sofa and sat down,
Beginning to wait for the Express to jump.
And feeling a little anticipation for the place they were about to visit.
[ Ding! Livestream has successfully opened! ]
[ Searching for Livestream content. ]
[ Please wait patiently! ]
Suddenly,
A strange and inexplicable sound,
Rang out in Stelle's mind.
"What was that? March, was that you talking just now?"
Stelle was a little bewildering, turning to look at March 7th, who was sitting beside her.
"Huh? No? This girl has stayed quiet the whole time. You must have misheard."
March 7th shook her head, indicating that she was a quite beautiful girl and hadn't made a sound.
"Is that so?.... Then maybe I'm hallucinating? Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have stayed up late yesterday!"
"It must be because I stayed up too late and started hallucinating!"
Stelle thought for a moment, feeling that she might be hallucinating due to staying up late.
She began to ponder in her mind, whether to consult Bailu,
To see if there were any remedies for hallucinating?
To give herself a good boost!
"Hallucinating? With your physique, how could you be hallucinating?"
March 7th heard Stelle's words and disagreed.
This one was a born Stellaron, a Cancer of All Worlds refined into a spirit!
In terms of physique alone, she could easily outclass ordinary people by dozens of streets!
How could she be weak?
That was simply a joke.
"You're right, the only thing I've got going for me is this invincible, healthy body that can eat absolutely anything!"
Stelle deeply agreed with this, feeling that Lumine was very right.
[ Ding, successfully found the playback source! ]
[ Playback will begin in thirty minutes! ]
[ All viewers please prepare. ]
The mysterious voice appeared again,
But this time, before Stelle could speak,
March 7th spoke first.
"Stelle, you might not believe me! I just heard a strange voice talking in my head!"
A frightened expression appeared on March 7th's face.
"I believe you! Because I heard it in my head too."
Stelle said in a faint voice.
"Ah?! What in the world is going on?"
"Could it be that something unclean has entered the train?!"
March 7th suddenly recalled a few horror movies she had recently watched,
And immediately felt her scalp tingle.
"That… Stelle, Lumine, did you two hear anything strange just now?"
Welt walked to their side,
Asking with a puzzled expression.
"Uncle Yang, you heard it too?! Then Sister Himeko and Dan Heng, you…"
"That's right, we also heard that voice."
Himeko and Dan Heng exchanged glances,
And nodded in unison.
"What? I thought I, the Conductor, was hallucinating!"
"So you all heard it, Pam!"
Pam came to the Express hall, and happened to hear everyone's discussion,
Couldn't help but exclaim.

—✦Genshin Impact World✦—
Teyvat Continent—
Lumine had been in Sumeru for some time now,
Having experienced many things,
They were now researching how to rescue the Dendro Archon.
"Hmm? Paimon, did you hear anything?"
In the room, Lumine, who was resting, suddenly asked Paimon, who was listless beside her.
"Vo…voice? Hmm… it seems like there's a voice talking in my head. But, aren't I dreaming?"
Hearing Lumine's words, Paimon, who was almost asleep, murmured confusedly.
"No! It's not a dream! There really was a voice in my mind! Is it Nahida… or… Wanderer!?"
Lumine was sure she had really heard some kind of sound,
But she still couldn't distinguish the source!
"Wan… Wanderer?!"
"Ahhh! The Wanderer appeared again?! Where, where?! Wuwu, so scary!"
Hearing the name Wanderer, Paimon was like someone having a nightmare,
And was immediately startled awake.
They had suffered several losses at the Wanderer's hands before.
So now, hearing this name,
They felt somewhat like a startled bird.
"Paimon, don't panic, the Wanderer shouldn't be doing anything this strange. This voice, perhaps it's an instruction from Nahida."
"According to the voice, it seems we'll know something if we just wait ten more minutes? Then let's wait."
Lumine comforted Paimon, and began to wait patiently.
.. . ..
In the Sanctuary of Surasthana—
Nahida, who was imprisoned here,
Also heard this voice.
"Livestream? That's a term I haven't heard before! What could this be?"
Nahida frowned, falling into thought.
Although still young, she was, after all, the God of Wisdom.
And something that could make her, the God of Wisdom, completely unaware,
Was clearly extraordinary.
.. . ..
Liyue, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor—
"Consultant, did you… hear any sound in your mind?"
Hu Tao rubbed her head,
Asking with some hesitation.
"Director, I heard it."
Zhongli put down the birdcage in his hand,
Nodding calmly.
"Ah, this… in broad daylight! Are we encountering ghosts?! But what kind of little ghost would dare come to our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
"Aren't they afraid that this Director will send them to the afterlife with a single blaze? Or is it an old ghost with profound magic?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, if that's the case, it'll be a bit tricky!"
Thinking of this, Hu Tao began to pace back and forth in the room, her mind constantly imagining what method to use to catch this ancient ghost.
"Encountering ghosts?… I'm afraid it's not so."
While Hu Tao was immersed in her imagination, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh.
.. . ..
In Windrise—
"Is the wind changing? But I wonder what results this gust of wind will bring?"
Venti, who was sipping a drink, looked up at the sky,
His expression becoming somewhat melancholic.
That strange voice had also appeared in his mind.
But he couldn't discern any details from it.
"Istaroth, could it be you?"
Venti whispered, like a tiny breeze, gradually drifting away.
