"Because I know perfectly well what choices she will make; and she is also fully aware of my inner decision. All of this will never change because of distance or position!"
"It is precisely because we trust each other that we can firmly walk the paths we have chosen. Parting ways is simply a matter of wanting to change the imperfect status quo in the direction we hope for, in different ways."
"Our journeys...will one day intersect, and what I need to do is to greet that day in the best possible way."
Seeing Mei's determined look, the doll became a little anxious.
"What sweet talk! That's not what you said to her at the time!"
Recalling the rooftop scene, Mei sighed, "Indeed, we said goodbye too hastily. Looking back now... perhaps there was a better way to handle it..."
"But no matter what, I will still take that step; otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here witnessing your fate."
"Ultimately, you all know too little about Kiana, about everyone in the Hyperion... and you know just as little about me."
Mei's firm words, coupled with the rousing music, immediately ignited the passion of the viewers in the live stream.
"Wow... Mei looks so cool like this~ She looks a bit like... a domineering female CEO? Hahaha..." Alicia burst into cheerful laughter.
At this moment, Mo Li came over carrying water.
"What are you laughing at, Miss Pink Fairy?"
As he spoke, he handed two glasses of water to Eden.
"Thank you~"
"Boss Mo Li is here~ I just thought of a really interesting story..."
"The story of the domineering CEO Mei and the adorable Kiana~ You find it interesting too, right~"
"Oh right... I clearly said I wouldn't talk to you for a day~"
Mo Li smiled and placed a pack of tissues on the table: "Here~ for you guys to wipe your mouths."
Alicia looked at Mo Li with a strange expression: "After drinking water... do you still need to wipe your mouth?"
Mo Li didn't answer but asked in return, "Didn't you say you wouldn't talk to me for a day?"
Alicia chuckled, "Hehe~ It's just a girl's little temper, you can just coax me a bit~"
Mo Li chuckled and shook his head.
Alicia is so cute.
"Okay~ I'll come and coax you after you guys finish the storyline~"
"Hmm? Aren't you going to try and appease my dear Eden?"
Let's cheer each other on!
Hearing Mo Li and Alicia's conversation, Eden couldn't help but laugh.
However, looking at the tissues on the table, she felt nothing but malice.
This is probably something she uses to wipe away her tears so she won't cry...
Is this plot really that heartbreaking?
…………
In the game, the story continues to unfold.
After everything that has happened, Mei is no longer the Mei she used to be.
In the past, her greatest strength was her gentleness, but now, she is not only gentle, but also a very reliable older sister.
Moreover, she has no flaws that would allow a doll to attack her psychological defenses.
Therefore, the doll was also extremely angry.
"Damn it, if you said you didn't need her around, why did you go looking for her?"
Mei replied expressionlessly, "Obviously, you have something to discuss with her, and I'm here to get in your way."
The doll's tone immediately became incredibly aggrieved: "You bastard, don't you feel ashamed to bully weak Herrschers like us?"
Mei: "No~"
The doll: "You actually had the audacity to admit it?!"
……
Eden couldn't help but chuckle.
The comments section was also incredibly fun.
Oh no, I actually think this Herrscher is kind of cute...
The voice acting is really cute... although sometimes the things she says make my blood pressure spike.
All I can say is, the copywriting is truly phenomenal.
……
In the game, the doll was completely helpless against Mei and ultimately had no choice but to cut off its tail to survive.
They completely separated Mei's area from the theater.
In this way, even if Mei defeats these dolls, she will not be able to support Kiana.
Meanwhile, Fu Hua and Bronya also entered the theater.
However, they were also held back by the dolls and could not provide immediate support to Kiana.
Finally, the camera focused on Kiana.
The story picks up right where chapter 24 left off.
The doll provoked Kiana in a sarcastic tone: "How about it? How about it? Looks familiar, doesn't it?"
"Yes! Himeko Murata... is already dead~"
Kiana: "..."
At this point, the audience and Eden's hearts immediately tightened again.
The joyful atmosphere from just moments ago vanished instantly.
"Hey? Are you deaf or can't you understand human speech?"
"Himeko Murata is dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead! Did you hear me?"
Upon seeing the string of "dead," the audience was immediately enraged.
This doll is so mean! Not only does it stab Kiana, it can even stab them through the screen.
The live chat was filled with comments like, "Sorry, I take back what I just said, this doll is so annoying! Kiana, cut her down!!"
Eden also watched the plot with a furrowed brow.
"No reaction at all? You're so cold-blooded!"
Kiana: "..."
Her tone was unusually calm: "So, what do you imagine I should be like?"
"Kneeling and wailing, collapsing to the ground and unable to get up. Crying and shouting over and over again—this can't be real?"
"Or have you fallen into madness, mental disorder, and tried desperately to hurt yourself to make up for your self-blame?"
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed..."
Doll: "This... shouldn't be happening..."
According to the doll's prediction, given Kiana's feelings for Himeko, she is indeed very likely to have a mental breakdown.
"Yes! She's definitely just putting on a brave face!"
Not only the puppeteers think so, but the audience does too.
Kiana was putting on a brave face.
If we just add fuel to the fire, Kiana's mental defenses will definitely collapse!
"You don't actually think this gem is fake, do you? Fine~ Then let me show you its real power!"
After the doll finished speaking, she used the Plague Gem to summon a group of Honkai Beasts.
"Hahaha... Enjoy this feeling! This is the power your beloved teacher once used!"
"Did you know? When we found it, this gem was drifting alone in the imaginary space~"
"How strange~ Shouldn't it be embedded in the Crimson Armor? Shouldn't it be worn by her? Where is its owner who was with it?"
The doll sarcastically sprinkled salt on Kiana's wound.
"Who knows... Hahaha... Actually, you've always known, haven't you? That day, she was already dead! Yes! You killed her with your own hands!"
"She's just a mortal; there's no way she could escape the imaginary space, or even maintain her own existence."
"But you refuse to accept all of this! You're still fantasizing that someone can save her, fantasizing about an impossible miracle, fantasizing that this can atone for your unforgivable sins!!"
The doll's words were a devastating blow to Kiana.
Similarly, Eden and many viewers in the live stream were also extremely upset.
As the doll narrated, an image unconsciously surfaced in their minds: Himeko, covered in wounds, drifting alone and helpless in the boundless darkness.
