Joining MiHoYo, I, the Savior, Was Targeted by Elysia

[Great! Now the dog devs getting knifed and Otto getting knifed don't conflict anymore!]

"Mr. Apocalypse, Mr. Apocalypse!"

Meanwhile, inside Destiny Tech Co., Otto was pulled aside by a subordinate just after finishing a meeting.

"What is it?"

"There's a livestream here; should you take a look?"

63. Good News: Funeral Celebration, Bad News: Funeral Celebration

"Livestream? What does that have to do with me?"

Otto elegantly raised his coffee while turning his gaze over, and then...

He almost shoved the coffee into his nostrils.

"Cough, cough, cough! What! What's going on?!"

Otto didn't even have time to wipe the stain from his nose before snatching the phone and excitedly saying:

"Why am I being buried! And there's a crowd cheering!"

If it were just a normal funeral, that would be one thing, but Otto also saw himself lying in a coffin, being carried by several inexplicable people.

They were dancing and blowing horns, having a great time, like attending a ball.

The coffin was being tossed back and forth by them. After watching for a while, Otto even started to feel dizzy and nauseous, as if he were really lying in the coffin.

"And this... this chicken? What does this even mean?!"

If the funeral celebration could barely be considered a custom, then the chicken in front of the coffin, wearing black overalls with its hair parted in the middle, swaying back and forth, was just stirring up trouble, wasn't it?

The funeral scene was already utterly chaotic. A person leading the dance with a cane accidentally stepped on the chicken's wing, causing the rooster to crow loudly:

"You go ma~~~ go yo~~"

In the moment of chicken feathers and broken eggs, several people dancing and carrying the coffin were also startled. The coffin fell directly to the ground, and the "himself" inside slid out.

This was probably not acting, but a genuine accident, to the point that everyone on the scene was surprised and didn't know what to do.

Just then, a professional mourner came out to save the day. He ran to "Otto's" side and cried out loudly:

"Old Otto! Alas!! Old Otto!! Ah!!"

The comments section indicated that this cry required at least 20 years of emotional investment.

To the point that Otto, seeing this scene, had his blood pressure spike to over 180 mmHg.

If it continued to rise, perhaps he could really contact Wangshēng Funeral Parlor, and without even needing preparation, the original crew could just come over.

"Enough..."

Otto turned off his subordinate's phone and questioned:

"What exactly is going on?"

"The thing is..."

The subordinate told Otto the whole story.

"MiHoYo, these guys, putting me in the game as a villain is one thing, but now they're pulling this stunt."

"I'm going to find the legal department to draft a lawyer's letter right away!"

"Not so fast..."

Although he was a bit agitated just now, Otto's rationality quickly took over his anger, and his eyes even flashed with cunning light.

"Anger will only diminish wisdom. Rather than tearing apart with them, I have a better solution."

"Truly worthy of being Mr. Apocalypse, as rational as ever."

"Help me inform Kallen to cancel all arrangements for the day after tomorrow. I'm going to MiHoYo in person."

"With this, the plot planner who likes to send out knives to everyone has been sent off by us~~"

Hu Tao smiled happily at the camera, like a program host on the Spring Festival Gala.

This was also a fresh experience she had never had before.

"The next few are the ones that everyone calls... poorly designed, money-grabbing, doing garbage events, and not respecting player opinions."

Because these people were all created by Ye Ming using black technology, the method of entering the hall was also relatively bold.

Several coffins were placed upright in a row. Then, the giant Fúshě picked up these people like pinching chicks and threw them into the coffins in a bowling-like posture.

[Holy crap! They really dare to play like this!]

[Can people still be okay after being thrown in like that?]

[MiHoYo is showing full sincerity this time!]

[I'll never hate on MiHoYo again]

[It is recommended that all companies' public relations departments learn from MiHoYo]

After that, it was Fúshě's solo performance. He first swung the coffin around like it was ramen, then dribbled it like a basketball, all while paying homage to "Large Bowl Thick Noodles" and "You're Too Beautiful."

Besides the actor's hard work, the atmosphere was also on point. The neon lights flashed like a rave, and a song like "Good Luck Comes" brought the atmosphere to its peak.

That day, MiHoYo's studio was trending at number one across the entire internet, and it had almost nothing to do with the games under its banner.

After seeing MiHoYo's sincerity towards players, everyone began to pressure various game companies, and even companies in other industries were not spared.

Ye Ming's promotional stunt unexpectedly purified the market environment, and the phenomenon of large companies bullying customers was greatly curbed.

"Ye Ming, hurry up and get out of the coffin, the live stream is over."

Hu Tao originally wanted to find Ye Ming to take credit, but found that Ye Ming was still lying in the coffin and hadn't come out.

"I said, you're not asleep, are you?"

Hu Tao opened the coffin lid and found Ye Ming sleeping soundly inside.

She wasn't surprised though. A quiet, dark, and small space, and being asked to keep her eyes closed and not move, it was normal to fall asleep.

"This human skin mask and wig are so well made! I'll have our embalmers make a set when we get back."

Hu Tao gently pulled off Ye Ming's disguise, admired it for a while, and then said to Ye Ming:

"Hurry up and get up, everyone will be going back in a bit..."

Before Hu Tao could finish speaking, her heart trembled violently.

The pupils reflecting Ye Ming's figure also contracted unnaturally.

"Ye Ming?"

For some reason, the way Ye Ming was sleeping in the coffin made Hu Tao's breathing become very erratic, and her limbs began to go numb.

Before long, Hu Tao, who had been cheerful just now, showed a painful expression as if she was sick.

"Strange..."

She held her forehead, the dizziness becoming more and more intense, as if something was rushing towards her brain.

But somehow, the memories that emerged could not form actual images, the only thing she could see...

Was only plum blossoms falling all over the sky.

—How can you sleep? At your age, at this stage, how can you sleep?

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Ye Ming was awakened by his phone's ringtone. He quickly turned off the alarm and rubbed his face with his hand.

"Did I fall asleep? Geez..."

After taking a deep breath and adjusting his condition, Ye Ming looked at Hu Tao again.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

"Huh? Uh... th-this..."

Hu Tao became uncharacteristically awkward:

"I just played too hard and I'm a little tired."

"Hehe, as long as you had fun, I should go back too."

Ye Ming jumped out of the coffin, looking at the ribbons and balloons all over the floor, he couldn't tell if it was a funeral or a party that had just taken place.

"That... Ye Ming!"

Watching Ye Ming walk away, Hu Tao suddenly felt a little panicked, but she couldn't say why she was afraid.

"What's wrong?"

"I... can I still come to your place to play?"

"Of course~~ We'll still need you to perform in the future."

64. Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

After watching the funeral, having their fun, and venting their anger, the players quickly fell into a feeling of emptiness.

Because the knife was still there, and the story that had already been shown could not be rewritten.

When the carnival ended, and the anger subsided, all that remained... was only endless lamentation.

[Respond to us! Reaching for Unrequited Love!]

Driven by such emotions, the players quickly reached a consensus.

As if they had discussed it in advance, they all poured into the personal space of that "Reaching for Unrequited Love" Content Creator in one breath.

[Call your Ye Ming out!]

[The new version has been online for so many days, where's the video?]

[Reaching Bao! My Reaching Bao! Give us some sugar, I can't hold on anymore]

[Reaching Bao is okay, I suspect you're engaging in GHS, but I have no evidence]

Although the Content Creator didn't reply to anyone's private messages, nor did they respond to everyone's comments in the dynamic feed, they still released a new work amidst the clamor.

However, it wasn't a conventional video, nor did it tell a complete story. Instead, it was composed of numerous short clips of different scenes.

The entire video had only a few lines of dialogue, and no ambient sound from the locations. There was only a piece of gentle and beautiful instrumental music.

This music is... Scarborough Fair?

The soft music was like a tour guide, leading all the viewers through the short clips, scene by scene.

——Are you going to Scarborough Fair

The first scene was on the rooftop of Senba Academy. Ye Ming was holding onto Mei, who was falling, with one hand, while his other hand was being pulled back by Kiana, who was struggling to hold on.

After that, the two nestled close to Mei. Ye Ming pressed his forehead against Mei's tearful face, while Kiana tightly gripped Mei's hand.

——Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

The second scene was in the ruins of Chang Kong City. Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and Ye Ming were fleeing while dodging Honkai Beasts.

Hiding in an abandoned house, they comforted each other and offered mutual encouragement.

Kiana, Mei, and Bronya huddled together, while Ye Ming embraced the three of them from behind. A brief warmth turned into smiles, appearing on their faces.

——Remember me to one who lives there

The third scene was at St. Freya Academy. The three Valkyries on their way to school ran into Ye Ming, who was working as a teaching assistant.

Kiana immediately hugged him, Mei also affectionately took Ye Ming's arm, and Bronya waited with anticipation for Ye Ming to stroke her hair.

——He once was a true love of mine
