"I see, that doll just didn't distinguish right from wrong and blamed all the blame on Kiana. It was actually to make her shake."
Seeing this, Sirin and others finally understood that some of the things the doll said just now were probably not true.
After all, it is just a doll, a product of the amplified dark side of the human heart, not the girl who was saved by Kiana.
The girl may have encountered an unfair situation, but she would not necessarily blame Kiana, and the puppet said this deliberately to make Kiana confused and anxious.
"What an insidious guy!"
Kiana slapped the table angrily.
"I finally understand. When you see these dolls, you must not talk to them; otherwise, you will be angry to death."
She put herself in Kiana's situation in the game. If it were her, she would definitely fight against the doll unwillingly.
But Kiana in the game was not like this. She always remained calm. Even if she was temporarily confused because of the doll's words, she never wavered in her determination.
To be honest, sometimes she really feels that Honkai Impact III is not just a game but another real world.
She even envied herself in the game, not for her strength but for her perseverance and determination to never give up.
But when she thought about what she had gone through in the game to reach this stage, she felt relieved again.
Later, in an open field, the dolls surrounded Kiana, as if they were trying a prisoner in a court.
Then, the puppets began a battle for the heart.
Like peeling off a cocoon, they tore open Kiana's scars again and presented her tragic past on this stage again.
The tone full of sarcasm and ridicule made the players in the live broadcast room clench their fists, and their blood pressure skyrocketed.
The Herrscher of Dominance is a gathering of the dark sides of people's hearts. It knows better than anyone how to attack the most vulnerable parts of others' hearts, making even players who are bystanders unable to bear it.
However, Kiana's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
' boom--! '
There was a gunshot, and the puppet on the trial bench fell to the ground.
Kiana's expression was firm, without wavering at all.
"I've heard enough of your nonsense. This ridiculous trial should end!!
["You can't confuse me; I will not give in, let alone despair."]]
"There are many people around me who trust me and support me. They taught me what I should do. If you want to use this to shake me, don't ask for trouble."
After hearing Kiana's answer without any confusion, everyone in the live broadcast room suddenly burst into tears.
Players like them can't stand what the doll said, let alone Kiana herself.
And they all know how serious Kaia's sense of responsibility is. Thinking about Kiana when she was still in Tianqiong City, the guilt and self-blame caused by Himeko's death and the outbreak of the Great Collapse almost crushed her. !
But now she can face her past guilt, turning all her guilt and self-blame into her motivation to move forward, to save more people, and to make the world a better place.
This is Kiana's growth.
Elysia's live broadcast room.
"Wow.... Kiana is so handsome now."
Elysia said emotionally while wiping her wet eyes with paper.
Her current mood is a bit like seeing the idiot daughter she raised finally grow into an adult who can take charge of her own business.
" Hahaha! As expected of Kiana! That's it, let me smash their faces like Bronya and Veliona did! "
Tesla put his hands on his hips and smiled extremely happily.
As long as she could see the puppet being deflated, she would feel more happy than when she drew the card and entered the soul.
"Don't be too happy. The Herrscher of Dominance paid such a heavy price to bring Kiana to the Dominion Theater. It's impossible to just do anything to Kiana."
Einstein shook his head, not too optimistic.
Sure enough, just like Einstein said, seeing that Kiana was not swayed by her words, they changed their words again.
"Of course we know that you have gone through a lot along the way. No matter what we say, it will be difficult to shake your will..
The puppet let out a smug smile, as if the conspiracy was about to succeed, enjoying Kiana's expression.
["But wwe also know that even you like this will have unfinished regrets and holes that are difficult to bridge."]]
[ "....?"" ]
Kiana's eyes widened, as if she had guessed something, and she showed an expression of disbelief.
At the same time, an uneasy feeling spread in the hearts of Elysia and others.
They clearly felt that the Herrscher of Thousands was going to make a big move.
["You clearly know that ordinary people cannot survive in the imaginary number space, but you still deceive yourself over and over again."]]
"You have actually known the truth for a long time, but you just don't want to admit it, and you still deceive yourself and say,I will definitely bring you back. '"
[ "What..." ]
Kiana felt as if her blood had solidified at this moment, and an icy chill surged from her brain to her limbs, causing her body to tremble slightly.
The puppets suddenly became even more proud.
When the players in the live broadcast room heard this, they also guessed what the puppet wanted to say, and they all showed expressions of shock and disbelief.
The question that has been lingering deep in the hearts of all players seems to be finally revealed at this moment.
But at this moment, there is no surprise or excitement in everyone's heart.
Somewhere, there is only a piece of ice.
Because they knew that what came out of the doll's mouth would definitely not be the answer they and Kiana wanted to hear!
["Look, look! We haven't said who it is yet, but you know it very well!!
["She is the most vulnerable part of your heart, the scar that you can never heal!"]]
"If you could go back to that day, if you could exchange her life, you would be willing to give everything to repay your mistakes—but you have no such if""
"Even if you say you won't waver, when the facts are in front of you, can you really continue to be indifferent?
The puppet's voice became more and more intense, as if a passionate host on the stage was pushing the play to a climax.
Finally, the animated CG plays.
Behind Kiana, two dolls put their hands on her shoulders and said with a smile.
["How's it going? Does it look familiar? Do you remember who is holding it? Do you know why she is here??
For the first time, Kiana's eyes showed severe wavering and fear.
At this moment, she seemed to have turned back into the girl who was overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt in Tianqiong City.
[ "Haste Gem...." ]
Kiana stared blankly at the red-pink crystal floating in the palm of the doll's hand and subconsciously read its name.
["Yes, yes, tell me the answer in your heart!"]
["Murata Himeko is dead!"]
The story ends abruptly at this moment.
Looking at the settlement interface on the screen, Elysia was stunned, Tesla was stunned, and the millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were also stunned.
They could hardly believe what they had just seen and heard!
Before that, they had thought many times about what Himeko's return would be like.
But they never imagined that they would not even have a chance to look at Teacher Himeko!
In some cases, there is only a cold goose, which seems to be telling everyone everything that has happened to it.
Murata Himeko is dead!
The doll's last words echoed in everyone's minds. They were all stunned for a long time because they were too shocking and unacceptable.
In the live broadcast room with millions of people, not a single barrage came out.
Their expressions at this time were similar to Kiana on the screen.
"... Haste gem? How, how could it... how could it appear in the hand of a doll?! This is impossible! Teacher Himeko will not die! "
Elysia's defense was broken.
She has been looking forward to the return of Teacher Himeko for a long time, but in the end, you tell her that Himeko is gone—not even a body, only a disease gem is left. Who can accept this?
" Asshole! These dolls must be lying to Kiana! Even Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Snake haven't found the plague gem. How can they find it?! It's impossible for Himeko to die like this!"
Tesla shouted angrily.
She didn't accept Himeko's ending.
Falling into the imaginary space, and then slowly dying in the lonely and lonely space, until there is only one epidemic gem left...
Just thinking about such a scene in his mind made Tesla feel suffocated.
So she definitely doesn't approve of this ending!
For people like Himeko, even if they leave the scene, they should do so with great fanfare and not be so abrupt.
Einstein didn't speak; she just held her chin up as if thinking about something.
Afterwards, the players in the live broadcast room also exploded.
[ WCNMM! ! ! What a doll! I'm going to kill you ten thousand times! ! ! ]
[No, I wasn't dreaming just now, was I? What expansion is this? Is Teacher Himeko really dead? impossible?! ]
[I really vomited! I have been looking forward to the return of Himeko-sensei since the last lesson, but now you tell me that Himeko-sensei is already dead? I can't accept it! ]
[Old thief, come out and die! ! ! I'll test your code! Give me back, Teacher Himeko! ]
[I'll just put my words here, old thief, if you really dare to kill Himeko-sensei, I will not charge a penny to Honkai Impact III from now on! ]
The barrages in the live broadcast room began to increase at a terrifying speed, directly covering the entire live broadcast room.
Everyone found it difficult to accept the sudden news that Himeko was dead.
Because this is so sudden.
Makes people defenseless.
But in fact, if you think carefully about the performance of Thousand Herrschers from beginning to end, you can understand that they have been laying the groundwork.
From the initial noisy remarks to the past family relationship, they have been lowering Kiana's psychological defense line.
Even though those words didn't shake Kania, she couldn't really ignore them because they were all facts.
The most powerful thing about Thousand Herrschers is that everything they say is true.
Lies are gentle; truth is cruel.
What can really hurt people is often a really sharp knife.
After lowering Kiana's psychological defense step by step, they threw the final bomb.
Haste gem.
The gems inlaid in Himeko's true red armor gave Himeko the power to take on a mortal body and raise the sword of rebellion to the sky to resist the power of the gods.
But this power could not save her life.
But now, Thousand Herrscher has brought it to Kiana, and the plague gem has appeared here, so naturally there is no need to say more about Himeko's fate.
After all, she is just a mortal, unlike Fu Hua and Welt, who can do sit-ups repeatedly.
"No.... no... this must be a trick of the Thousand-Herrscher! Himeko will not die so easily!"
Although the plot has made it clear, Elysia still doesn't want to believe it. She would rather believe that all this is a fact fabricated by the dominant Herrscher in order to let Kiana break her defense.
Elysia's eyes were red, with crystal liquid swirling inside them. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she quickly turned to look at Su Mu.
"Su Mu! Tell me, Himeko is not dead. The Thousand Herrschers are lying to Kiana, right?"
As if she had grasped a life-saving straw, Elysia held Su Mu's hand tightly, her eyes full of hope.
Seeing Elysia's pitiful expression, even Su Mu couldn't bear it... that's weird!
To be honest, he feels very happy now!
If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, he would have wanted to laugh out loud now.
It was this expression—it was this expression that he had always wanted to see—this expression of pain, distortion, and disbelief!
"Have you ever thought that the Haste gem might have been created by the Herrscher of Domination using the power of the Herrscher of Reason?"
Su Mu thought for a while and said.
" Really?! Is this really the case?! "
Hearing this, Elysia suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"No, I just said that casually."
Su Mu grinned and showed a bright smile.
" ….."
Elysia's expression instantly frozen.
Su Mu, who was admiring her expression, felt extremely satisfied.
This expression from great sadness to great joy, and then to broken dreams, is really Sbarasi!
Ah... brain, brain is shaking!
"Su Mu ... Ellie, I am really angry this time."
Elysia clenched her fingers silently.
She has always had a good personality and temper and has never been embarrassed by anyone.
But now she wanted to tell Su Mu with practical actions.
Even the Buddha had a moment of anger!
This kind of Hundan who likes to play with other people's feelings should be severely awakened by her using the Friendship Breaking Fist!
"Tie, baa!!! "
Elysia has a good character and temper, which is something everyone recognizes.
But even so, Su Mu, who was able to make Elysia off guard and angry, was really powerful in a sense.
After all, this guy is really not a human being.
However, after severely beating Su Mu, Elysia's mood was still not relieved, and she was still in great pain and discomfort.
"Bad Su Mu, tell me quickly, is Teacher Himeko dead?"
Elysia stared at Su Mu with a pair of red rabbit-like eyes.
Under normal circumstances, she is not used to being spoiled. After all, listening to other people's stories is definitely not as interesting as slowly discovering it yourself.
But now she really can't bear it anymore.
Who allowed Su Mu, a bad guy who is so immortal, to be broken in this place!
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to rush them to death?
"Well, let's put it this way: in the main plot of the next chapter, Himeko will definitely appear, and she won't appear in the way of memories."
Su Mu thought for a while and decided to give the players some hope.
Of course, he was definitely not afraid of being beaten by Elysia.
"Does that mean that Teacher Himeko is really not dead?"
Hearing this, Elysia and the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly felt happy.
But they soon calmed down again.
After all, these words came from Su Mu's mouth, and the authenticity is questionable.
It is true that Su Mu never lies, but this guy always tells half the truth.
This led to the final answer, which was completely in two directions from what they had thought before.
"Ellie, please don't believe this little villain's lies. He said that Himeko will appear on the stage, but he didn't say whether she will die. What if Himeko appears on the stage and then dies?"
Tesla looked at Su Mu with resentful eyes and said,.
I think back then, she was also a simple and innocent little girl, until she was deceived by Su Mu into Honkai Impact III...
After being stabbed countless times and shedding countless tears, she already understood.
Su Mu is a fun-loving guy by nature!
I'm still the kind of person who enjoys watching players break defenses!
Just now he saw Elysia's tearful expression of joy, but she saw it all!
"Well... Anyway, just look forward to it. Anyway, I dare say that the plot of the next chapter will definitely be a huge climax for Honkai Impact III, and I will definitely not disappoint you. "
The corner of Su Mu's mouth curled up, revealing a sunny smile.
"I have always been looking forward to the plot of Honkai Impact III, and I have never been disappointed."
Einstein said leisurely,
"But I don't know how many knives there will be in it."
Einstein knew very well that Honkai Impact III has a magical power that makes you willing to eat it even if you know that there is a sugar-coated bomb in front of you.
Don't look at how noisy the group of players in the live broadcast room are right now, saying that if Himeko really dies, they will quit the game... but that's just talk. They will still be looking forward to it when the plot of the next chapter is updated. ran to see.
"Hey ~~"
"Bad Su Mu, you have really made me angry this time. Come and comfort me; otherwise, Miss Elysia will be sad for a long time."
Slowly recovering from the aftermath of the plot, Elysia puffed up her cheeks and looked at Su Mu angrily.
Having said that, Su Mu did go a bit too far this time. Not only did the plot break Elysia's guard, he also added fuel to the fire by teasing her that she was really possessed by the crewmember.
But this can't be blamed on Su Mu; after all, every captain has come this way. Everyone has gradually grown from a simple newbie to a qualified crew member.
When they played here, they cried so much, but now when they see others playing, they laugh so happily.
It is indeed the law of conservation of smiles.
The smile never disappears; it just moves to my face.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I will be more careful next time."
As Su Mu spoke, he reached out and touched Elysia's head, like a puppy, to comfort her.
"Well, I'm not a child; this method won't work on me."
Elysia's pretty face turned red, and she quickly took Su Mu's hand off her head.
Although it was quite comfortable when this guy touched my head and killed me, it is still a bit embarrassing to be treated like a child in front of millions of people in the live broadcast room.
[Fuck! Old thief, you really deserve to die! ! ! ]
[My Elysia... is not clean (crying).
[I am going crazy with envy! I really want to chop off the old thief's claws! (gritting teeth)]
At the same time, in Sirin's live broadcast room on the other side, when they saw the last scene, just like Elysia and the others, they were stunned on the spot as if a restraining spell had been cast.
["Himeko Sensei is dead!"]
The puppet's gloating tone echoed in everyone's ears, and these words were like thunder, blasting their brains completely blank.
"Why... why is this happening?"
Mei Yi murmured in a low voice, her expression a little dazed, as if she hadn't recovered from the huge shock.
" Impossible! That doll is definitely lying! Teacher Himeko will not die so easily! "
Kiana's eyes turned red instantly, and her emotions became excited, just like Elysia before.
At this moment, the basic emotions of all the Bengsan players and anchors who had played here were similar to theirs; they were all shocked and unbelievable.
If Su Mu had a system that could collect players' emotion points, he might have collected hundreds of millions of defense-breaking emotion points by now.
"Hundan Su Mu! The chapter is actually broken here?!!! "
At this time, Sirin, who wanted to click on the next level but found that the chapter was over, suddenly let out a distorted cry like a groundhog.
To be honest, when the players read the news that Himeko was dead, it was already very painful.
Coupled with the fragmentation, the degree of pain can be said to be far greater than 1+1=2.
"Mei, is Teacher Himeko really dead?"
Kiana threw herself into Mei's arms, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and asked in a choked voice.
"That... is not necessarily true."
Mei pursed her lips and looked at Kiana's sad little eyes. She really couldn't bear to nod and could only rack her brains to think of other reasonable explanations.
"Then, then what... We have all seen what happened just now. The Thousand Herrscher wanted to shake Kiana's will, so he said so many words to her and tried to suppress her emotions. So we have every reason to suspect that she fabricated the news that Teacher Himeko is dead."
"That means, does Himeko-sensei still have hope of living?"
Kiana's eyes lit up with hope.
"I can only say that it is possible, but how to arrange the specific plot depends on Su Mu."
Meiyi didn't dare to speak too highly. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
She couldn't help but secretly complain to Su Mu: Why did the plot have to be written like this? Wouldn't happiness be delicious?
"I also think that Teacher Himeko may not die."
Sirin also analyzed and said,
"After all, according to Su Mu's peeing habits, many times he deliberately throws out a smoke bomb to let us figure out the plot on our own, but in the end, what happens next is not the same thing at all."
"So I think he deliberately dropped a bomb here and cut it out of context just to see us panic."
"I see!"
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room also agreed with Sirin's statement, but some still held a pessimistic attitude.
"But no matter what, since the haste gems have appeared, it is very likely that Teacher Himeko will appear in the plot of the next chapter."
Meiyi said seriously,
"No matter what the outcome of Teacher Himeko is, I believe Su Mu will let her appear on the stage to give everyone an answer."
After Sirin and Mei's analysis and comfort, Kiana's mood suddenly calmed down a lot, and she also gave up her desire to kill Su Mu offline.
But if the plot of the next chapter doesn't satisfy her, she will definitely challenge Su Mu to a duel!
Su Mu, who didn't know that he had been targeted by a certain bug, felt an inexplicable feeling when he saw Elysia and the players in the live broadcast room seriously discussing the subsequent plot and Himeko's life and death. A sense of superiority.
Moreover, the power of the pilot in his body was ready to explode.
To be honest, not only are the players eager to see the plot of the next chapter, but he himself wants it even more than the players!
But what he wanted to see was Elysia's reaction when they reached chapter 25 ~~
After everyone had finished discussing, Elysia clicked on the event story.
Originally, everyone had high expectations for the plot of this event because of the appearance of the hare rabbit.
But now that they have just experienced the torture of the main plot, to be honest, they are all a little bit unmotivated now.
This is the so-called sage time.
However, when the event plot officially started and the Rabbid appeared in the first scene, the attention of Elysia and others was instantly attracted.
And the Rabbid Brownie, which everyone was looking forward to, did not disappoint. In just a few minutes, it left a very deep impression on people.
At the beginning of the plot, Brownie made a deal with Gray Snake, obtained information from him, and then was surrounded by a group of gangsters from the Tiger Head Gang.
Then, under the spotlight, the corners of Brownie's mouth rose. She was obviously surrounded, but there was no trace of anxiety or nervousness on her face.
The virtual gun projection turned into reality in her hands. Under the neon lights of the Night City, her petite figure looked free and uninhibited under the exciting background music.
["WWhat? Have you never seen a rabbit eating a tiger??
Just one line made the players deeply remember this character.
" Wow! Brownie is so handsome! "
Elysia's eyes widened, and the lesbian gene in her body was about to start.
Brownie's character completely hits her strike zone. She likes this kind of'fierce little rabbit like Mobius.
" Eh? Is this Brownie's weapon constructed from projection?"
Tesla focused on Brownie's weapons.
After all, the moment the weapon appeared just now was too much like the scene where the Herrscher of Reason activated his power to create the weapon.
"As far as universal reason is concerned, this is indeed the case."
Einstein nodded, pushed up his non-existent glasses, and said,
"It seems that Miss Bronya in the world bubble also has the same ability as the Herrscher of Reason."
Haha, Brownie in the world of love is a little girl in the gang! ]
[Bronya is used to seeing three things without her, but now seeing Brownie, who is lively and active, with an arrogant expression, she is really not used to it.]. But she is really handsome! ]
Is this the world of cyberpunk? It's so fun, and I can't wait to see Brownie take the city by storm. ]
[By the way, when will Yae Sakura wearing cyber armor appear in the promotional PV]? She also seems to be Brownie's enemy, which is interesting. ](Players still don't know that it is Yae Kasumi.).
After seeing Brownie's handsome appearance, the audience in the live broadcast room also recovered from the whirlpool of Himeko's death just now, had a heated discussion again, and not surprisingly got a new wife.jpg.
After finishing the opening scene, Elysia entered the open world according to the system prompts.
Because the technology and funds are much higher than those of MiHoYo in the previous world, the open world that was originally a bit crude and full of bugs has now become extremely beautiful and delicate.
Su Mu also added many interesting Easter eggs and buildings, as well as more exploration routes, and even found places like Taixu Gate, bars, and Shencheng Technology, and also added interactive NPCs. Allowing players to see the charm of cyberpunk cities more clearly and intuitively.
If time hadn't allowed, he would have wanted to recreate Night City directly.
After all, Su Mu's philosophy has always been simple. After making money from players, he must give back to the players with the best attitude.
Regardless of the game plot or gameplay, he must make players feel interesting and not make them feel that they have wasted so much gold.
"Wow, this open world is so well done. No wonder this update took so long. Is this really something you can play without spending money?"
Elysia controlled Brownie to walk in the open world while admiring the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but sigh.
"Su Mu, you spent a lot of money to build this open world, right?"
From the perspective of someone who has experienced it, Tesla can certainly see how much money Su Mu spent on creating this open world. It is no exaggeration to say that this open world can be regarded as an excellent game just by looking at it.
But now, it is only opened as an event plot of a game. Even Tesla is also a lavish spender, and he can't help but be amazed by Su Mu and Bronya's generosity.
High emotional intelligence: generous.
Low EQ: Two losers.
