Red lightning streaked across the air like the wild scrawls of a paintbrush.
Red Tears knelt beside Ye Qiyan, cradling her longsword.
A tear glistened at the corner of her eye.
As that tear slid down her cheek,
this scorching city of fog welcomed rain filled with sorrow.
Ye Qiyan stood on the train roof, with Lisette standing quietly beside him beneath a black umbrella.
The [Storm Eye Stone] lay still in his palm.
As threads of mental energy flowed into it,
it slowly rose into the air.
The surrounding air rapidly compressed.
Barrier-activated.
The storm spread outward!
The thick fog was being driven away.
Those who were still alive looked up at the sky.
The fog blocking their view gradually vanished, revealing red thunderclouds overhead.
That was the sky.
Though gloomy, it was still a sight the people living in this city had not seen for years.
The rain grew heavier.
On people's faces, tears and rain were already indistinguishable.
Pain, grief...
Under Red Tears' influence, people's revulsion toward the Steam War of the past returned to the forefront of their hearts.
Perhaps this could not change anything, and Ye Qiyan did not care whether it could.
He cared about only one thing.
[/Achieve this station's objective (achieved)/]
The second option for leaving the station had been fulfilled.
Before his eyes, the system's Light Screen quietly appeared.
[Hidden quest: Here, humanity saw the sky again.] [Quest details: Dispel the thick fog and let the colors of the sky appear over this city again (for at least 1 hour).] [Quest reward: Random (Level 8) Steam Machinery random exchange voucher ×1] [May you continue onward]
The moment the system's Light Screen appeared, it meant that Ye Qiyan had only one thing left to do at this station.
