She's a Passerby, But Can See the Protagonist's Halo-Chapter 134

The moment Ka Ka saw these travel mystery boxes, her first thought was of Chang’an.

The glorious capital of the Tang Dynasty, where the imperial concubine ground ink and the powerful eunuch removed boots.

Earlier, at the Li Bai Cultural Museum, Ka Ka had also learned that the great poet Li Bai once married, raised a family, and lived for ten years in Anlu City. His tomb is located in Dangtu County, Ma’anshan.

So when she saw the travel mystery boxes, Ka Ka thought of Chang’an, Anlu, Dangtu, Baidicheng… all places deeply intertwined with Li Bai’s life.

She even considered Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage in Jinguancheng—surely it couldn’t be somewhere as far as Central Asia, could it?

But the actual destination revealed by the box left Ka Ka utterly astonished.

The opened "mystery box" existed only in Ka Ka’s own vision.

【Shaoshan—Swan Mountain】

On the system’s positioning map, Swan Mountain was the nearest landmark to the mystery travel destination.

Shaoshan—Ka Ka knew it as the hometown of a great leader.

But Swan Mountain? Where on earth was that? Some obscure corner? A minor hill in Shaoshan?

Though Ka Ka wasn’t entirely clear on the specifics, she smiled and addressed the camera.

“After exploring Li Bai’s hometown, I’m revealing our next mystery travel destination in advance—Swan Mountain.”

“It’s a bit of a shame, though. I brought something special today but couldn’t give it away.”

Ka Ka showed a small bottle tucked into the side pocket of her backpack.

It was a tiny bottle of fruit wine.

“I couldn’t leave it in front of the statue, and there were too many kids around. I was worried someone might drink it.”

Before leaving Mianyang for Jiangyou, she had specifically bought this portable bottle of fruit wine.

“Well then, goodbye, Jiangyou.”

Ka Ka bit into her Li Bai-themed ice cream as she descended the mountain and drove back. The footage of her driving transitioned into an animated sequence through montage.

The animated red-clad Ka Ka drove her car, then boarded a high-speed train, with the destination marked by a whimsical illustration of a swan and a mountain, drawing smiles from viewers.

【Swan Mountain? That name sounds like something you’d find all over the country—probably just a mountain shaped like a swan.】

【Quietly asking—are there actual swans on Swan Mountain?】

【Ka Ka’s drawing of Swan Mountain is killing me with laughter!】

After a three-second transition, Ka Ka reappeared on screen, now in a completely different setting.

The sign for 【Shaoshan South Station】 appeared, and Yan saw the barrage of comments explode with “Huh? Huh? Huh?”

This Swan Mountain was actually in Shaoshan.

“My red down jacket matches the vibe here perfectly,” Ka Ka remarked as she stepped out of the station.

“From the hometown of Li Bai to the birthplace of a great leader.”

Ka Ka carried her backpack and a handheld action camera.

On the way, she had already looked up Swan Mountain—it was a large scenic area housing the leader’s memorial hall and other red tourism sites, all conveniently close to the train station.

But the red dot marking her mystery travel destination, visible only to her, wasn’t pointing to any of these landmarks.

Similarly, cross-referencing her phone’s navigation yielded no results.

The answer would have to wait until she arrived.

Shaoshan was small, and renting a car wasn’t practical, so Ka Ka took a taxi straight to Swan Mountain.

Unable to specify the exact destination, the driver dropped her off at the entrance to the martyrs’ cemetery.

With her phone, camera, and backpack, Ka Ka traveled light, having shipped her suitcase home from the hotel.

【Is Ka Ka heading to the leader’s former residence? It’s too late now, isn’t it? It’s already dark.】

【Visiting a martyrs’ cemetery at night feels eerie, but it’s not too late yet. Ka Ka isn’t scared! There’s no gloom here—only solemn reverence.】

And indeed, Ka Ka wasn’t afraid. The resting place of those who fought for their country felt dignified even in the darkness.

“Before coming, I read up on Swan Mountain,” she said softly.

“This martyrs’ cemetery was originally built to honor the leader’s family and over 1,700 revolutionary martyrs from Shaoshan. In recent years, more than a hundred additional heroes have been laid to rest here.”

“Loyal souls rest among green mountains—there’s nothing to fear.”

Amid the gentle rustling of trees and the quiet night, Ka Ka didn’t fly her drone. She simply walked up the hill, bowed in respect, then descended, following the system’s map toward her destination.

【Where is Ka Ka going now? Is she lost?】

【Is it hard to get a ride in a small city at night? Ka Ka’s still walking.】

With her flashlight in hand, Ka Ka followed the road at the mountain’s base. Before long, she spotted what looked like buildings nestled in the valley.

And there, marked by the system’s red dot, was her destination.

Found it!

Ka Ka’s heart leaped.

A house in the mountains—was it the caretaker’s residence? Or another former home of the leader?

As she drew closer, her flashlight became unnecessary. The area was already illuminated by lights and dotted with surveillance cameras.

Watching the footage, Yan gasped.

The building was a mix of gray and white, with dark-gray bricks and stark white latticework framing the entrance.

【Shaoshan Backup Storage Base for Lunar Samples from the Chang’e-5 Mission】

Ka Ka felt her heart skip a beat.

The camera panned up to the bright moon hanging in the night sky.

Now she understood why this place had been chosen as Li Bai’s mystery travel destination. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Because here, there was the moon.

“It just came back to me—I think I saw this in the news,” Ka Ka murmured.

“The lunar soil brought back by Chang’e-5 is stored here.”

“Because the great leader once said, ‘We can bring down the moon from the ninth heaven and catch turtles in the five seas.’”

Yan listened as Ka Ka continued.

“Over 1,300 years ago, the poet Li Bai wrote, ‘Men cannot climb to the moon, yet the moon walks with them.’”

“To the ancients, the moon was an unattainable dream. But now, we’ve brought back soil from its surface.”

Just then, a system notification floated into Ka Ka’s view.

“Congratulations, player, for unlocking the 【Millennium Moon】 achievement.”

【Achievement: Millennium Moon】

【The ancients never saw today’s moon, but today’s people behold the moon of ages past. Not only do we see it—we reach for it. You’ve journeyed 1,100 miles, from Qinglian to Shaoshan. Once, Chang’e flew to the moon; now, we retrieve lunar soil and bring it home, reporting to our forebears in Shaoshan.】

A rustling sound filled the video as Ka Ka rummaged through her backpack. Slowly, she pulled out the small bottle of fruit wine she hadn’t been able to give away earlier.

She unscrewed the cap, tilted the bottle toward the camera, and invited the moonlight into this moment.

“A toast to the moon.”

To the moon Li Bai once toasted with wine, and to the moon humanity now walks upon.

A wish across a thousand years, finally answered.
