The '''Hearsay''' section of [[M.I.N.D.]] features entries related to mysteries in [[Jiangshi Metro/Rising|Jiangshi Metro]].

==Jiangshi Metro files: Crashed Ketch==
On an ordinary afternoon over a dozen years ago, strange spaceships unknown to [[Human/Rising|humankind]] suddenly tore through the skies above Jiangshi Metro. They dropped plasma bombs and [[Skiff/Rising|Skiff]]s loaded with [[Fallen/Rising|alien warriors]]. The unprepared Jiangshi Metro would suffer many casualties during this first wave of attacks.

Despite the dire circumstances, the people managed to stabilize their defense under Lady [[Xuân Yến/Rising|Xuân Yến]]'s command until the giant [[Ketch/Rising|Ketch]]—which would later be confirmed to have been the [[House of Devils/Rising|House of Devils]]' flagship [[Maliks-Fel/Rising|Maliks-Fel]]—entered their sights. In a last-ditch effort to take the ship down, she and several [[Guerrillas/Rising|guerrillas]] hijacked an enemy Skiff, launching an attack on Maliks-Fel. The Ketch came falling down onto Jiangshi's city wall, but Lady Xuân Yến and the guerrillas never made it back.

Nowadays, the crashed Ketch—filled with traps and treasures alike—draws the eyes of many, though its auto-defense system keeps all of them at bay. And those who once approached the Ketch Wreckage all gave the same testimony, claiming to have heard knocking sounds and frightening, thunderous echoes coming from within...

==The Mystery of Jiangshi's Water==

After the Collapse, Jiangshi Metro was ravaged by a blizzard for three months straight, with temperatures suddenly dropping 30 to 40 degrees. The greenhouse, once used for extraterrestrial botany research, became the only place where plants could grow.

But a mystery has forever remained unresolved: the snow here has always contained excessive heavy metals, so where does the fresh water essential for both agriculture and drinking come from?

==Haunted Icy Lake?==
The [[Icy Lake/Rising|Icy Lake]] is haunted, or so the locals claim.

Once a reservoir in the [[Golden Age/Rising|Golden Age]], this lake was frozen due to climate change by the Collapse. But at some point, a rumor about the place being haunted started to spread.

Some may see this as simple gossip, yet somehow it's piqued the interest of a [[Ikora Rey/Rising|certain]] [[Lightbearer/Rising|Lightbearer]] in [[Haven/Rising|Haven]]. In her eyes, the [[Hive/Rising|creatures]] lurking beneath the icy rift in Jiangshi Metro are something far more terrible than simple ghouls...

==Jiangshi's Weather Woes==
Jiangshi Metro has suffered from blizzards since the Collapse, but recently, the already awful weather has taken a turn for the worse.

For the past few months, the guerrillas have encountered sudden storms and lightning strikes them with deadly precision during every patrol of Jiangshi Metro and its surroundings.

Could [[Vanok/Rising|someone]] be behind these inexplicable tempests? And if so, when will they reveal themselves?

==Beyond the Skies==
The [[Space Elevator/Rising|space elevator]] and [[Lanyue Space Station/Rising|Lanyue Space Station]] above it are, without a doubt, the most prominent structures around Jiangshi Metro. But following the Collapse, humans no longer needed them for space exploration, and because of that, the Space Elevator hasn't undergone a complete survey in many years.

Now, nobody knows what is up there—especially since the [[Fulminator/Rising|Fulminator]] has kept the guerrillas stuck at the station.
