Preview Trailer / Premiere Ceremony / Both Fall Silent

Without a doubt, if it weren't for the company, Little Knowledge would probably have been struck by a sudden, sharp blow and completely knocked unconscious.

"Little Knowledge, shouldn't you be in the dubbing department?" Fu Hua remembered that Little Knowledge wasn't in the same department as her, and that she had come to find her during working hours.

"Don't even mention it. I was doing voice-over work for Rita today. She didn't need me at all. That woman could have done it all by herself. I just sat there and didn't say a word." Little Knowledge complained to Fu Hua as soon as she heard this.

"You'd better hurry back. If Shub finds out you're not at your workstation, she'll dock your pay," Fu Hua reminded her.

"I'll be going now, old man. Remember to eat lunch. Kalpas prepared it, so be sure to eat on time. You never eat properly," Little Knowledge said with concern before leaving.

"Okay, I understand." Fu Hua's smile gave the impression that her child had grown up.

Little Knowledge left in a flurry.

Even though Salome and Cheng Lixue saw it, they didn't say anything.

By the time the voice files for Durandal and Alvitr arrived, the overall production of the film was nearing completion, having taken almost half a month to finish.

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days!"

Yaqing generously gave all employees a three-day holiday.

"Great!" Kiana was the happiest. Even though her voice acting department was relatively quiet compared to other departments, she could go out and play with Mei during the holiday.

Mei was helpless.

After starting work, Mei's youthful and naive demeanor gradually transformed, and her style of dress began to resemble that of a sophisticated urban woman, which Kiana found unbearable.

The company will give everyone three days off.

Yaqing can enjoy herself again, in the office...

"I said, your company doesn't have anyone here, why did you call me over?"

"Senior, it's because there's no one around. If there were someone, I'm afraid you'd faint."

Yaqing hugged Mobius.

What do you want to do?

"Yes, I do."

Yaqing kissed Mobius's red lips for a long time before they parted.

"Senior, is office play exciting enough?"

Mobius blushed slightly, but stubbornly replied, "It's nothing special."

Yaqing removed Mobius's shirt, and Mobius showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

Yaqing pulled Mobius over, made her lean on the table, grabbed her long, smooth green hair, and whispered in Mobius ear, "Senior, what do you want to play today?"

"Heh, disgusting boss and pitiful secretary."

"A very good suggestion."

Yaqing knew perfectly well that Mobius was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Of course, even the toughest Snakey would soften under such a fierce attack, and would try to use a pitiful expression to slow down the frequency of the attack.

Chapter 218 Trailer/Promotional Video

After the office fun, the three-day holiday quickly came to an end.

Yaqing had a very pleasant holiday.

The trailer for "Honkai 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky" was released, and the explosive storyline it contained instantly went viral online.

"Finally, you gave in."

Kiana, dressed as the Queen of Void, coldly and mockingly looked at Kiana in White Comet robes kneeling on the ground, as if watching a clown as she was about to raise her gun and commit suicide.

"Now is not the time to despair, Kiana."

Fu Hua's voice rang out, the screen went black, and when it lit up again, it was no longer the same scene as before, but in the ruins amidst the sea of fire, with broadcasts repeatedly telling people to go to the shelter for safety.

"Ah! Help!"

A mother and child were tightly embracing each other as the Honkai Beasts pressed closer. Kiana, on the other side of the wall, watched this scene unfold, her fists clenching tightly, while Fu Hua's voice echoed in her ears.

"Kiana, you can no longer come into contact with Honkai energy."

Kiana gritted her teeth.

"Let's go, there's nothing you can do right now."

The camera suddenly zoomed in on Kiana's azure eyes, bringing her to a space where Theresa and Mei were coldly watching her.

"Kiana, I'm so sorry..."

"I... had no choice but to do this..."

Kiana looked bewildered, but the deadly attack that followed forced her to dodge. Just as Mei's attack was about to land on Kiana, the camera shifted again.

"My strength is waning, and I can no longer take care of your mental state at all times."

"Take care of? It's more like surveillance, isn't it?"

On the bridge, Kiana and Fu Hua seemed to have a fierce argument. Then, several images flashed by quickly: Kevin sitting on the throne, Himeko walking out of the broken mirror, Durandal standing on a giant vine confronting Mei, and Mei crying while hugging her Mei.

The images flash by so quickly that it's difficult to see them clearly; you have to pause the video to see what it depicts.

At the end of the promotional video, Himeko has her back to Kiana.

Kiana, what are you waiting for?

The drawing went completely dark.

With only two lines of text, it reads, "Honkai 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky" will be released in theaters worldwide on August 14th. Stay tuned!

The release of the promotional video sparked heated online discussions, which were roughly divided into two groups.

One group believes Himeko is not dead and will return when Kiana is on the verge of suicide. The other group believes Himeko couldn't possibly be alive, and that the Himeko in question is likely an illusion created by Fu Hua to stabilize Kiana's mind.

Regardless of the speculation, no one believed that Kiana would actually shoot herself, which greatly disappointed Yaqing. He had deliberately used this as a smokescreen, but no one fell for it.

"Boss, I told you long ago, no one is stupid enough to think they can kill the protagonist."

At a high-level meeting within the Far East Branch.

Shub said helplessly to Yaqing.

Yaqing ignored everything and focused intently on the comments and bullet screens below the promotional video.

The women exchanged glances and came to a conclusion.

This child is probably ruined.

"Damn, it's Fu Hua again! Every movie features Fu Hua; she's more like the main character than the Kiana. Maybe we should rename it 'Fu Hua IV: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky'?"

"So what if I, the Scarlet Bird Immortal, live a little longer? When the Previous Era movies come out, Fu Hua will still be there."

"Wasn't Fu Hua killed?"

"Shenzhou magic, boy."

"That's not what I want to see." Yaqing was anxious. He wanted to see the speculation about Himeko, not a discussion about how much longer Fu Hua could live.

Shigure Kira looked at Yaqing with a pitiful expression.

If Yaqing looked up, she would probably feel a sense of familiarity; that look was exactly the same as the look Mei gave Kevin when they were eating breakfast, when she said there was a devil in his eyes.

"This kid is definitely ruined," the genius Patrick concluded.

Yaqing kept refreshing the comments.

Soon, several comments caught his eye.

["Himeko is back! I knew Himeko wouldn't die so easily. As expected, the Honkai series doesn't involve any angst, not even a little bit. /crying"]

"From the Final Lesson until now, I still can't believe Himeko is dead. I don't know why you all cried your hearts out back then. It's so simple, how could you just kill off an important character?"

[Reply: "Wait and see if I'm proven wrong."]

[Reply: "That's hindsight. I didn't believe you made that guess before the movie was even released."]

[The original poster replied: "I'll just say this: if Himeko really dies, I'll livestream myself eating Oli Gei (a popular Taiwanese snack)."]

Reply: "Squat."

Yaqing became interested, not because the other party was eating "Oli Gei" on live stream, but because he could sense from this comment that the audience still had doubts and uncertainties about Himeko's death.

"Boss, is Himeko dead or alive? Give me a straight answer," Shub couldn't help but ask.

As senior executives in the division, apart from Salome, who was the executive producer and had access to the scripts for the later films, other executives like them only received the script texts when the film production began.

In Yaqing's words, she didn't want to extinguish their anticipation for the script.

But Shub had something she wanted to say to Yaqing. Although she hadn't lost her sense of anticipation, her curiosity had been piqued, which made her even more uncomfortable.

"Yaqing, have you not made up your mind yet?" Shigure Kira she saw Yaqing constantly browsing the comments on the internet about Himeko's life or death.

"Himeko..." Yaqing pretended to be thinking hard, which made the women serious and their anticipation was aroused again.

"Like life."

Yaqing's answer left the women feeling like they had a lump in their throat, unable to breathe, and they really wanted to curse.

"Cut!"

After the meeting ended, the women left the conference room without stopping, afraid that if they stayed even a second longer, they would be tainted by bad luck.

"Huh?" Yaqing sighed helplessly. If it weren't for the need to produce a movie, he wouldn't even want to give them the script.

Abandon personal integrity and indulge in a life of immorality.

Yaqing began reading the comments again.

It wasn't until the afternoon that his afternoon tea time arrived.

"Yaqing, this is your afternoon tea for today: Black Forest mousse cake and macarons, served with warm milk. I hope you have a pleasant day ahead." Rita opened the door and placed the desserts on the tray one by one on Yaqing's desk.

"Rita, your cooking is getting better and better!"

Yaqing used a fork to pick up a piece of Black Forest cake and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste instantly filled her mouth, and she squinted her eyes happily.

"Making your work enjoyable is my duty as a secretary," Rita, neither humble nor arrogant, a smile always on her lips.

Shub always mocked Rita for trying to please her elders for the sake of beauty, and Rita never denied it.

Chapter 219 Premiere Ceremony / Both Fall into Silence

Time quickly came to the premiere of "Honkai 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky". The "rich and powerful" CEO Yaqing once again booked an entire screening room. As he walked the red carpet under the spotlight, the flashes and shutter sounds of the cameras made Yaqing extremely uncomfortable.

"Here you go, Elysia, the four buckets of popcorn you wanted." Kalpas and Su each carried two buckets of popcorn as they struggled through the crowd.

"Thank you, Su, and thank you, Kalpas." Elysia took a bucket of popcorn from Su's hand, her face beaming, and said, "Please, please, could you help me bring it into the screening room?"

The gentle Su needs no further explanation.

Kalpas snorted coldly, "Hmph, troublesome woman."

Even so, Kalpas still held the two buckets of popcorn.

"Kalpas, thank you, you're so kind~?"

"Don't talk back, I think differently than you do."

Kalpas was wearing sunglasses and a mask, completely covering his face, so his expression was impossible to see. But Elysia thought he was smiling, no, he was definitely smiling.

Mobius was looking at Yaqing under the spotlight.

Elysia leaned closer and said, "Professor Mobius really wants to walk the red carpet."

Looking at Kiana in her elegant gown and Mei beside her, Elysia said with a hint of envy, "I wish I could walk the red carpet too, Fairy!"

"Go ahead and think about it, I'm not envious at all."

The stubborn Snakey would never reveal her true thoughts to the pink-haired fat woman; she would only say, "Elysia, can you finish four large buckets of popcorn? I heard you've reached 55 pounds..."

Before Mobius could finish speaking, Elysia hurriedly covered her mouth, Snakey glared at her with displeasure.

"Don't round up!"

Elysia still had a question in her mind. She had only ever weighed herself in her bedroom and had never stepped on a scale outside. How did Mobius know that?
