Did You Suffer Some Kind of Mental Trauma?

Back to the video.

Following Kiana's footsteps, a black-haired girl in a red Valkyrie armor gradually came into view.

The girl held a blade in one hand, glanced down at the Honkai zombie corpse at her feet, and murmured, "Mm... that should just about do it, right?"

But what the girl didn't know was that a zombie was quietly creeping up behind her.

Watching this scene, people in the real world hurriedly spammed bullet comments to warn the girl to watch her back, completely forgetting they were just bystanders outside the video.

In the nick of time.

Just as the zombie was about to reach the black-haired girl, footsteps sounded from not far away.

Bang!

With a loud crash, the zombie behind the black-haired girl was sent flying by a giant cat paw.

The black-haired girl was about to turn toward the noise when she felt something soft press against her from behind.

The embrace between the two beauties formed a world-famous painting, and Kiana's next words brought the lovely scene to its climax.

"Found you at last, Mei!"

Hugging Mei, Kiana smiled with utter satisfaction. "With Mei here, it's like having the strength of a hundred people!"

Faced with Kiana's blazing-hot passion, Mei sighed helplessly. "A... a hundred people's strength... I'm not some kind of superhuman..."

"No! As long as Mei is by my side, I already feel a hundred times stronger!"

"That's something only Kiana would say~"

As if unable to tolerate Kiana's antics during the mission, Himeko's voice suddenly cut through the communicator:

"Kiana, is this what I meant by 'adapt on the fly'? If you pull this again next time, I won't be assigning you to missions with Mei anymore."

"Huh?! No way, don't do that!"

With Kiana's wail, the video screen shifted again.

Inside a dimly lit room.

A short girl with spiral twin tails was intently hacking at the computer before her, muttering under her breath, "Mei... Kiana... Bronya has to... be faster!"

As the progress bar on the screen slowly filled, the girl named Bronya's expression began to relax.

Suddenly, a dark figure flashed from the corner...

A pitch-black zombie wielding twin blades strode swiftly toward the computer beside Bronya!

At that moment, both Bronya in the scene and the audience in the real world broke out in a cold sweat.

Because if that zombie succeeded, the consequences would be unthinkable!

But luckily, Bronya reacted quickly, summoning her weapon 'Project Bunny 19C' to successfully block the zombie's attack.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the situation was calming down...

Then, the next moment...

From the shadows, another Loyal Ninja Honkai Zombie emerged, and this time, its target shifted directly from the computer to Bronya herself!

"This is bad!" Bronya thought.

Under normal circumstances, with her skills, a mere zombie couldn't touch her.

But right now, she was in the middle of cracking the computer and couldn't leave.

Because if she interrupted the hack to fight back, all her progress so far would be wasted...

On one side, her own life; on the other, the lives of tens of millions in Canghai City...

Bronya had already made her choice.

Facing the advancing zombie, she not only refused to counterattack but turned around and sped up the hack!

Finally, with the electronic female voice announcing 'Hack complete,' Bronya finished her task!

But it was too late.

Watching the zombie now inches away, Bronya had no time to dodge.

"This must be Bronya's fate... I'm sorry, Seele..."

Just as a beautiful girl was about to meet her end, the real-world audience once again broke into wails and howls.

Are you kidding me?! Is this still the righteous story of beautiful girls saving the world that I know?! Why does every new girl character have to come with a life-or-death crisis?!

Someone come save my waifu Bronya! If anyone can save her, I'll call you my sworn father!

I found it! Bros! I found it! This UP called miHoYo's First Idol Ai-chan, her company behind it is called miHoYo!

Nice! Thanks for the lead, bro! If my waifu gets killed off by miHoYo's writers one day, I'm storming their office and going down with them!

Hey, miHoYo writers, I gotta ask—did you guys suffer some kind of trauma? Why do you love stabbing my waifu so much?

Just at that critical moment, a sharp, unmatched sword aura sliced through the void, striking the monster before Bronya.

"One Strike Severance!"

Swish!

A sound of a blade slicing through flesh rang out. The two menacing Twin Blade Death Stalkers were cleaved cleanly in two!

As the Stalkers fell, Bronya, whose life had been threatened moments before, was finally saved.

Though the rescued girl's face remained expressionless, the tremor in her eyes betrayed her relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Are you alright, Bronya?" Ye Li rushed to her side, his voice laced with concern.

He was breathing a little heavily, but his gaze was steady and bright.

The faint glow from the screen fell upon him, draping him in a layer of pure radiance that was impossible to look away from.

"B-Bronya is fine. Ye Li... thank you... for saving me..."

Bronya's words of gratitude sent ripples through the real world as well.

Finally you're here—thank goodness I didn't give up!

Ye Li!

How dare you! What "Ye Li"? Call him Father Ye!

I've drifted through half my life, only regretting never meeting a worthy master. If you don't mind, I'd gladly take you as my godfather!

Where are those war criminals who complained Ye Li had too much screentime? Step forward!
