Guinaifen
Yo, it's you! You're interested in the supernatural, right?
Guinaifen
Lucky for you, I just finished editing my stream — it's all the proof you need...
Guinaifen
But before you watch it, I gotta ask you a question... do you believe in ghosts?
Options
I believe!
Vids or it didn't happen... and no clickbait.
My beliefs aside, your messages...
Guinaifen
I knew it! Curious cats like us usually have a better sixth sense — it's easier for us to perceive the unseen...
Guinaifen
Hehe, I think you're in for a surprise...
Guinaifen
This video is gonna prove that the Xianzhou is full of supernatural phenomena.
Guinaifen
Uhh, that was me copying video titles from the hottest streamers on the Luofu... I heard they help attract more viewers.
Guinaifen
Enough chit-chat — look! This is the weird stuff that happened yesterday when I was streaming in Fyxestroll Garden!
🎬
videoGuinaifen
Me and my bestie got kicked out of the garden straight after... but did you see the key moment?
Options
The "ghosts" were cheap special effects?
Why is it in third-person perspective at the end?
The comments all look like bots wrote them...
Guinaifen
What!? No! There was a freezing chill, not to mention the way they drifted through the air... They were legit ghosts! Anyway, the key point was...
Guinaifen
Ugh, it's called editing? I edited it! That way I can show what happened before and after. Anyway, the key moment was...
Guinaifen
Why are you so focused on all the wrong things?
Guinaifen
It wasn't the Realm-Keeping Commission or the Cloud Knights that came to deal with it. It was the judges from the Ten-Lords Commission!
Options
Judges from the Ten-Lords Commission? That's crazy!
What's... the Ten-Lords Commission?
Guinaifen
That's what I'm saying! At first, Sushang didn't believe that Fyxestroll Garden was haunted. But after the judges showed up...
Guinaifen
You've been on the Xianzhou for this long and you've never heard of the Ten-Lords Commission?
Guinaifen
They're the most mysterious organization on the Xianzhou! Their investigators always pop up out of nowhere, then disappear without a trace. If they show up, you know something serious is going down!
Guinaifen
In other words, something BIG must have happened in Fyxestroll Garden for them to show up.
Options
They went to Fyxestroll Garden to catch ghosts...
Maybe it was just a false alarm?
Guinaifen
Exactly! Now do you believe that my content isn't clickbait?
Guinaifen
Possibly... but the judges kicked me and Sushang out of there straight away. It looked like they were setting something up in the garden before we left.
Guinaifen
There has to be a conspiracy... Uh, I mean — ghosts!
Guinaifen
Actually, do you have some free time? Do you wanna explore Fyxestroll Garden together, just the two of us? I guarantee you we're gonna reveal the truth this time.
Options
Let's face the ghosts together!
You're going despite the risk?
I'm a little scared. Let me think it over...
Guinaifen
Hee-hee, I knew it! This is what people like us live for. Let's go!
Guinaifen
High risk, high reward, high view count. As we grow up, our curiosity for the unknown gradually fades... I'm not gonna let myself become a boring grown-up.
Guinaifen
Why are the ghosts haunting the garden? A lingering grudge, perhaps... or maybe they're an omen of some impending disaster? Aren't you curious?
Options
...Sure.
No.
Guinaifen
Don't be scared. When the time comes, just hide behind me.
Guinaifen
I get it — you're scared. I'm scared too. I'm sure you'll find your courage sooner or later. I'll be here waiting for you when you do!
Guinaifen
I understand — I'm scared too! I'm sure you'll find your courage sooner or later. I'll be here waiting for you when you do!
Chat with Guinaifen at Aurum Alley
No matter what kind of science-, magic-, faith-, or whatever-based upbringing you've had, when a third-tier influencer sends you a spam message claiming to have encountered supernatural entities in a deserted garden, your reaction would be: 1. "Sweet lol, I can meet up with this hot babe!" 2. "A new online scam? Blocked." 3. "Whatever. Let's check this out."
Naturally, no matter which one you choose, you would have steeled your mind to not give even 50 credits for this trip no matter what she says! No matter what! Besides, it's not like you have any disposable income.

Go to Fyxestroll Garden with Guinaifen
📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Fyxestroll Garden
You see Guinaifen, and she's as beautiful in person as she is online... Ahem, we've digressed. The girl is trying very hard to convince you that she just experienced a spooky encounter, even shoving a video of it in your face.
Even video content can't be trusted these days, but her flustered tone and unbridled expressions do hint at some kind of terror surrounding that Fyxestroll Garden place... Heh, the Nameless shall uncover the secret behind all this! Let's go ghostbusting at Fyxestroll Garden!
Right now, you won't get it — but curiosity forms the basis for the start of all good horror movies...

UnknownGuinaifen
Wow, I didn't know you were so strong, bro! But these are Luofu officials... if we're interrogated, we need to get our story straight...
Explore Fyxestroll Garden! Bring it on, schmucks! Huh!
You two — yes, only you two — arrive at the long-abandoned Fyxestroll Garden. The protagonists in most horror movies always like to brashly break into derelict buildings that are rumored to be haunted, completely disregarding all safety concerns and bringing in only a small party. If only they stopped to think things over, then none of the stories that follow would ever have happened.
On the way over, Guinaifen diligently recounts for you how Fyxestroll Garden ended up getting abandoned... all the while shooting plenty of spooky footage along the way. You can't help but feel it's actually quite hard for internet influencers to make a living, especially if they have to keep taking photos while resisting the urge to run away from such an ominous place, like a reporter at a homicide scene. This place really does feel as though it's haunted... Where, then, are the ghosts?

What a strange girl. Here to film ghosts, yet terrified when she lays eyes on one...
Guinaifen
Deep breaths, Little Gui, deep breaths...! Ahem, c—can I have a small chat with this... "Mr. Tail?"
Tail
I said scram. I have no time to talk nonsense with you.
Options
What a rude ghost!
Let's go. He doesn't want to talk to us.
Tail
I told you, I'm not a ghost! If I have to repeat myself again I'll be eating every one of you!
Huohuo
Please don't be afraid, he's only kidding. Mr. Tail is a vegetarian.
Tail
Finally, someone with common sense.
Guinaifen
N—No way! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get something for my vids!
Guinaifen
Your Honor, if I may ask, what exactly is this... fire thing? How can we prevent it from hurting people? ...And why is a judge carrying one around with her...?
Xueyi
I believe we're done here. We have important matters to attend to. Huohuo, please see them off.
Huohuo
Y—Yes, ma'am.
Hanya
Sister, don't be angry. Most of your time is spent in the field — you're not accustomed to dealing with others. Leave this to me. If I explain the reasoning, they will leave.
Hanya
As things stand, the situation in Fyxestroll Garden is sure to keep drawing attention. If we forcibly dismiss these two today, their curiosity will remain — who knows what might happen if they decide to come back. They might not be lucky enough to run into us next time.
Hanya
As I said, sister, I will handle this.
Hanya
I assume the two of you heard about the damage done to the Artisanship Commission's Creation Furnace? The "heliobi" sealed within escaped and have been haunting this place. The Ten-Lords Commission has orders to capture them. I am strongly advising you to leave — for your own safety.
Hanya
If you have any questions, raise them now — I will do my best to satisfy your curiosity. But I hope you will keep any information you hear in strict confidence... and then leave Fyxestroll Garden — never to return.
Guinaifen
Th—That's very reasonable, Your Honor! Thank you. I promise we'll leave after asking our questions.
Hanya
As a clerk at the Hall of Karma, my knowledge on these matters is somewhat limited, but I will try my best to satisfy your curiosity. Please proceed.
Options
What exactly are heliobi?
Are heliobi dangerous?
I don't have any other questions.
Hanya
According to the Divination Commission's classification, they are energy parasites from the cosmos itself. They are "Starfire Essence" that materialize in the form of strange fire.
Hanya
Metaphorically speaking, they are like moths to a flame... but that flame is the thoughts of sentient beings.
Hanya
Yes. They attach themselves to sentient beings, feeding off their host's experiences and emotions.
Hanya
A heliobus will slowly take root in its host's nervous system, using their deepest desires and weaknesses to create wild delusions. They manipulate their host like a chess piece. The host has no choice but to obey the heliobus, so we refer to it as "possession."
Hanya
By that point, the host is no longer who they once were, but a heliobus both similar to and completely different from their past self. The host's body will soon be exhausted by the heliobus — like burnt firewood.
Options
So, Tail is dangerous, too?
Tail
Dangerous!? You don't know the half of it! The other heliobi are nothing compared to me!
Huohuo
Tail... was subdued and sealed in my tail by Madam Hanya. He won't harm others.
Hanya
Regrettably, heliobi are not flesh-and-blood, and so they are difficult to destroy. Before the restoration of the Creation Furnace, the Ten-Lords Commission plans to set up an "Evil Binding Matrix" in this abandoned garden to imprison these abominations.
Hanya
As you can see, the Evil Binding Matrix has not yet been completed, and not all the escaped heliobi have been recovered. This area is still very dangerous. I will ask Judge Huohuo to escort you out of the garden.
Guinaifen
"Not all the escaped heliobi have been recovered..." So that means the other supernatural stuff that's been happening on the Luofu might be related? Your Honor! I have loads of info sources! Maybe I can help you!
Xueyi
Unnecessary. Those not involved should leave now. Go.
Huohuo
Um... Excuse me... We should go.
Huohuo
...Excuse me, can we go now?
Options
Is Tail coming too?
You look nervous...
Huohuo
Yes... he's trapped in my tail, so...
Tail
Bah — trapped for now... Sooner or later I'll find a way to make you break the seal...
Huohuo
You think I like spending time with you?
Huohuo
I—I'm just a bit scared about the heliobi reports... b—but I'll carry out my duties and escort you out of the garden. I should be able to do that, at least...
Tail
Tsk... If you can't then you better give up the day job and start peddling desserts...
Huohuo
Hmph, i—if it weren't for you, I would've opened a dessert stall ages ago!
Huohuo
Shall we go?
Options
Yes. Please lead the way.
I still have something to do.
Huohuo
Let's go.
Guinaifen
Ghosts? Heliobi? Possession...? That was a big info dump, my brain is still loading...
Guinaifen
...It all sounds more like an urban myth than a ghost story. "Energy parasite" sounds more cool than scary... don't you think?
Options
Myths are born out of ignorance.
Ghosts can't exist without mystery.
Guinaifen
Yeah, I guess so... I still feel like my audience will see them as ghosts, to be honest.
Guinaifen
...Mm, I never thought about it like that. Nice take!
Guinaifen
My audience likes getting to the bottom of mysteries, secrets, and conspiracies... We streamers have to cater to that, you know?
Guinaifen
*sigh* I've got loads more questions, but my curiosity is satisfied for now. We better leave before the judges decide to arrest us.
Guinaifen
...I'm gonna see if I can get a video of Mr. Tail on the way back — I've already got the title: "Demonic Fire Suddenly Appears in Fyxestroll Garden! Innocent Foxian Girl Possessed!" What do you think? That'd get so many views...
Guinaifen
...Can you give me a hand?
Options
What are we gonna do with you...
Nope.
You'll be handed a few centuries of jail time if you irritate the judges.
Guinaifen
Wow! That's a yes, right...?
Guinaifen
Okay, fine! No need to be so blunt about it.
Guinaifen
Mm, true, but I'd probably only do a few decades, hehe.
Guinaifen
Let's go.

Huohuo escorted you both all the way out of Fyxestroll Garden. However, a sudden eerie wind blew, and thick fog enveloped the surroundings. When you looked back, Guinaifen had vanished... Huohuo, with her legs trembling, begs you to find Guinaifen — just who is the official personnel here? She's quite a handful!
