[Upstairs, there's still one plot hole left to fill... Alicia...]
[Don't say it... I feel so sad whenever I talk about Airi QAQ]
……
These comments reminded Kiana of something.
However, she was already deeply engrossed in the plot, so she didn't recall much.
After that, the Herrscher of Corruption finally met the "Extreme Evil" Velvet and formed a partnership with her.
I see……
The players suddenly felt that they understood everything.
but……
Then, an even more chilling dialogue appeared.
That was a conversation between "Extreme Evil" Velvie and Kevin after they reached an agreement with the Herrscher of Corruption.
That is, the time period of the night before Kevin disappeared.
In this dialogue, the players also understood the reason for Kevin's disappearance—
To demonstrate her loyalty to the Herrscher of Corruption, the "Extremely Evil" Velvet plans to kill Kevin as a pledge of allegiance...
Subsequently, "Extreme Evil" Velvie disguised herself as another Velvie and approached Kevin with the Herrscher of Corruption.
However, at the same time, she used a method to prevent the Herrscher of Corruption from hearing her conversation with Kevin.
During the conversation, the "extremely evil" Velvie directly betrayed the Herrscher of Corruption, completely revealing the existence of the Herrscher of Corruption to Kevin.
It also explained the Herrscher of Erosion's abilities—it possesses the ability to directly delete memories.
However, the data of the heroes also serves as nourishment for the [Herrscher of Corruption].
Therefore, rather than deleting them, the Herrscher of Corruption prefers to erase the memories of the heroes.
"So, this is our only chance, Kevin. If you want to beat it, you have to cooperate with me and put on a show."
"You are our sharpest sword, so you must never be corrupted by it."
"Therefore... I need you to die immediately!"
...No wonder he's a con artist.
Here, she didn't utter a single lie, yet she simultaneously deceived Kevin and the Herrscher of Corruption...
She only told half the truth.
For example, she told Kevin that she could delete all his data, but in fact she left a "backdoor" so that Kevin's data could be recovered.
That's the truth; she wasn't lying to Kevin.
But there's one more thing she didn't say—the back door can be closed.
I can indeed revive Kevin, but whether you live or die is up to me.
……
How could this not send chills down your spine?
Mission: Impossible?
Playing dirty tricks with highly intelligent people is truly terrifying.
No wonder she's half as "evil" as Velvie...
Just as all the players were gripped by fear, Kevin asked his final question—
"...I agree, but I still have one more 3.5 questions..."
"who are you?"
Players: "???"
In this scene, the "extremely evil" Velvi disguises herself as another Velvi to find Kevin.
She certainly wouldn't reveal any flaws when playing herself.
After all, Mei hadn't noticed Velvi for a long time.
But... in just this short conversation, Kevin actually noticed something was off about Wilvi?!
[6, as expected of you, Kevin!]
So here's the question: Kevin noticed Velvet's unusual behavior, so why did he still agree to die?
[I have a feeling... what if there's another major plot twist at the end?]
For example, she not only deceived Erosion, Kevin, and Mei... but also us players?
[The person upstairs means... that Velvet just thinks it's fun, so she wants to kill all the Heroes, then resurrect them and kill the Herrscher of Corruption together?]
[...It's a shame the people upstairs aren't applying for screenwriting jobs at miHoYo.]
To be honest, if that's really the case, it's terrifying...
[Breaking down the dimensional barrier once again!!]
.......
Chapter 328 Can you believe a cat can die four times?
After dealing with Kevin, the "extremely evil" Velvie then turned her attention to Mebius.
She used the same method again—impersonating another Vervie to gain Möbius's trust, and then getting Möbius to act in a play with her.
A performance put on for the Herrscher of Corruption.
Nothing unexpected happened.
Mebius "acted very well," and after some struggle, he willingly allowed himself to be killed by her.
However, before he died, Möbius asked the exact same question as Kevin—
"...Who exactly are you?"
……
This plot is a bit mind-bending.
If you don't look at it carefully and repeatedly, you might not understand it at all.
For example, Kiana.
She was completely confused by what she saw.
"Mei... what exactly did this part of the story say...?"
Her question sparked a wave of mockery in the live chat.
Kiana puffed out her cheeks in protest and then snuggled up to Mei.
Mei: "Kiana..."
She had a headache.
That's really hard to explain...
But... well, what can you do when she's Kiana?
"To put it simply, it's about the extremely wicked Velvie, pretending to be another Velvie to deceive Kevin and Mebius."
"She exploited Kevin and Snake Sister's trust in the other Velvies, deceiving them by saying, 'In order to deal with the Herrscher of Corruption, you all have to die a little.'"
"In the end, Kevin and Mebius both cooperated, and on the surface, they were indeed deceived. But... they cooperated only after they had already seen through Velvet's disguise."
"In other words, Kevin and Snake Sister knew that the extremely evil Velvet was lying to them, but they were still willing to cooperate..."
26. "The only one truly deceived was the [Herrscher of Corruption]."
After Mei explained it to her, Kiana really understood.
But the problem comes again...
"If they clearly knew that Velvi was a bad person in disguise, why would Kevin and Mebius still cooperate with her?"
Meiyi: "..."
She thought for a moment, relying on her vague recollection of the later plot, and said somewhat uncertainly, "...Maybe it's...trust!"
After saying this, Mei's resolve hardened: "Yes! That's right... it's because Kevin and the others believe in Velvet!!"
Kiana was surprised: "Huh? They even believe in this heinous villain...? Isn't that a bit too reckless?"
The comments section shared the same opinion.
Is it simply because of trust that you entrusted your life to the other party?
And this was all under the premise that he knew the other person wasn't the Vilvie he knew...
Isn't this too hasty?
Mei sighed.
