"Mobius, how did you know..." Elysia asked.

"It was Yaqing who told me." Mobius blurted out, but quickly realized that even she didn't know Elysia's weight, so how did Yaqing know?

At that moment, both of them fell silent.

After walking the red carpet at the premiere ceremony, they entered the screening room. Yaqing did not choose to sit in the front row with the other women, but instead sat in the back rows with everyone in the courtyard.

I had just sat down when the movie hadn't even started yet.

"Yaqing, how did you know Elysia's exact weight?"

"Miss Fairy has never told anyone her weight."

Elysia and Mobius sat on either side of Yaqing, forming a pincer movement and pressuring Yaqing to question them.

Yaqing broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

He couldn't very well say it was just a dream, could he? Not only did Mobius and Elysia not believe him, but even she herself was a little skeptical.

Kevin looked over curiously.

"Mei, what has Yaqing done this time?"

Upon hearing Kevin's question, May shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"I guessed." Yaqing came up with a very weak excuse.

The suspicion in Elysia and Mobius's eyes did not lessen much because of this excuse; on the contrary, it increased.

Elysia suspected that Yaqing had seen her weighing scale.

Mobius suspects that Yaqing and Elysia...

"Okay, actually it was a dream."

Yaqing had no choice but to tell the truth.

Upon hearing this answer, Kevin chuckled, then quickly put on a serious expression.

"Well..." Mobius sighed, "I believe you're guessing."

"Even the fairy believes you guessed, right?" Elysia asked, munching on popcorn.

Yaqing was helpless. She had told the truth, but no one believed her. Yet, they forced her to believe the lies. This world was truly strange.

Kevin gestured with his eyes.

Yaqing understood.

The two began exchanging glances, a practice unique to men.

Kevin: You can't even come up with a better excuse.

Yaqing: Would you believe me if I said it wasn't an excuse?

Kevin: It's okay to lie to your partner, but don't lie to your brothers, and definitely don't lie to yourself.

Yaqing: That really was what I dreamed about.

Kevin: Yes, yes, yes, I also dreamed about May's weight, okay?

Mei suddenly sensed someone talking about her behind her back. She turned around and asked in confusion, "Kevin, why is your face twitching?"

"It's nothing." Kevin was startled and quickly left the chat channel.

Mei was still a little confused.

Theresa, sitting in the front row, was the only one who didn't participate in the voice recording. Even though she had a few short lines, they were replaced by Yaqing using Soundwave Simulation.

"Himeko, you participated in the voice acting, does that mean you actually appear in this movie?" Theresa was very curious. As a loyal viewer of the Honkai series, she cared a lot about Himeko's life and death.

"Hehe." Himeko laughed awkwardly.

Because Himeko's role in the story is very important, Yaqing even signed a confidentiality agreement with her, so Himeko cannot tell Theresa a single word about the plot development.

"Aunt, please don't make things difficult for Himeko. She really can't tell."

Kiana's voice sounded like heavenly music to Himeko's ears at that moment, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Kiana, even though you've graduated, you'll always be the most important student in my heart.

Himeko's feelings of gratitude did not last long.

Kiana continued, "If Himeko spoils anything, that would be a breach of contract, so Aunt, why don't you ask her about blind dates? She's an older single woman and still doesn't have a boyfriend."

Himeko's emotions vanished completely.

Kiana, you should be glad you graduated, otherwise you would definitely be my most miserable student.

"Okay~" Theresa's tone shifted slightly.

"Why isn't Sirin here?" Kiana noticed that Wei was missing and realized that Sirin hadn't come to the premiere. She asked Theresa.

"Don't even mention it, little Sirin has been really down lately," Theresa waved her hand.

"What's wrong with her?"

Kiana was curious.

"Idiot Kiana." Bronya suddenly spoke from the back row, startling Kiana.

Kiana turned around and looked.

Bronya, Seele, and the Arlene sisters were sitting in the row behind them, and Rosalia was excitedly greeting her.

Kiana, it's been a long time!

"Bronya, when did you arrive?"

"We've been here for a while," Seele replied.

"What else could Kiana have asked that question for? It must be because we've all graduated, Sirin she's going to study for another year." Bronya sighed, seemingly disappointed with Kiana's decreased intelligence after starting work.

"I..."

Kiana wanted to say something more, but Mei stopped her.

"Kiana, the movie is about to start."

Chapter 220 The crowd, stunned by the knife at the very beginning (4K)

The movie officially begins.

Amidst the ruins of the inferno, Kiana, watching the mother and child about to perish at the hands of the Honkai Beasts from behind a corner, disregarded Fu Hua's warning and resolutely rushed out to block the Honkai Beasts's claws.

Kiana struggled to fend off the Honkai Beasts' claws with her baseball bat when two more appeared. She was panting heavily when the claws pierced her, and her left eye suddenly turned bright gold.

"Hmph, I'll take this body from you."

Kiana!

Amid Fu Hua's anxious voice, the screen went black, and the movie title appeared on the screen. "Honkai 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky".

The movie has just begun, Kiana's selfless act of protecting a mother and child in distress reveals to the audience the fundamental difference between Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void.

"Kiana, what exactly did you suffer these past three months?"

This question is on the minds of almost every viewer. The model hasn't changed, but it just feels like the innocent and naive Kiana from before is gone.

"Poor child," Aponia said with pity.

"I feel so sorry for Kiana..." Elysia subconsciously leaned on the shoulder of the person next to her, then suddenly realized that Eden was on a world tour.

Mei was slightly taken aback when she saw Elysia leaning on her shoulder.

"Mei~~" Elysia wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she gave Mei a sweet smile.

Mei took the popcorn bucket from Elysia and said, "Indeed, Kiana has been on the run for so long under Schicksal's Schicksal list, and she's been suffering because of Himeko..."

Kevin frowned. When he looked down from the movie, he saw Elysia leaning on her girlfriend's shoulder. The tangy atmosphere between the two made his heart skip a beat.

Although Elysia and Eden didn't explicitly say what was going on, everyone in the courtyard knew what was happening and Elysia's orientation and personality.

They managed to stop Mobius, but they couldn't stop Elysia.

That's what Kevin thought.

In the pitch-black darkness, Kiana continued to fall, struggling to suppress her out-of-control emotions, recalling the past, until those memories surged towards her like a tidal wave.

Theresa, Mei, and Bronya attacked her in the space, while Fu Hua, who was monitoring her, and Otto, who "created" her, joined in with Sirin's seductive mockery. Kiana was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

At this moment, Fu Hua once again appeared to save the day. The Herrscher of the Void Herrscher, left with no other option, could only leave with harsh words, relinquishing control of her body back to Kiana.

"Hua, you're practically a superhero!" Pardo exclaimed excitedly as she looked at Fu Hua. Aside from a certain movie, Fu Hua had always come to the rescue in times of crisis, and he even made an appearance in a web series without fail.

"Is this also Feather of the Wind?"

Just when everyone thought the plot was about to develop in a positive direction, the following events left them speechless. Even Fu Hua felt a little guilty when she first heard Kiana voice this part.

When Kiana's consciousness returned to reality, Fu Hua, out of concern for Kiana and the innocent deaths caused by the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void, issued a warning.

It was Fu Hua's lecturing attitude that caused Kiana's emotions, which had been building up for three months, to erupt at this moment.

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

"Isn't this exactly what you've been doing all along?"

"All along, you've been lurking by my side, observing me, and finally handing me over to Otto. Have you forgotten how you betrayed me?"

"Why are people who did such things starting to care about innocent people?"

Fu Hua was speechless.

"Answer me!" Kiana's suppressed sobs burst forth at this moment, making everyone feel extremely sorry for her.

"I..."

"Your mission should be complete, right? Now, disappear from my sight!"

"I'm sorry, I can no longer leave," Fu Hua explained, explaining that the Zero Rated Power of Feather of the Wind had already bound her consciousness to Kiana's.

"What?"

Fu Hua advised Kiana to go find Theresa and the others, because only they could protect Kiana.

"No, no..."

Fu Hua was about to say something more...

"Get out! Get out of my head!"

Fu Hua's eyes were somewhat melancholy, but her true feelings were also revealed to the audience: once things reached an irreversible point, she would make the cruelest decision, which would be to take herself, Kiana, and Sirin down with her.

"Forgive me, Kiana."

When the audience heard Kiana's sobbing voice, they all felt a pang of heartache.

Kiana perfectly portrayed the pent-up emotions—the anger, confusion, grievance, and sadness of being betrayed by someone she trusted.

Women are generally more emotional than men.

Tears welled up in Elysia's eyes. "Little Kiana is so pitiful. Her trembling voice makes it sound like she's about to break. Waaah..."

Mei's feelings were complicated. "Kiana's current mentality is that she is blaming herself for everything caused by the Great Honkai of the Herrscher of the Void, even though none of this has anything to do with her. What a silly girl."

"If you ask me, the culprit behind all this is Otto. If he hadn't been thinking about reviving the Second Herrscher, wouldn't there have been far fewer problems?"

Kevin was indignant. As a fellow Kaslana, he held this "junior" in the story in high regard, most likely because he saw a reflection of his past self in the other.

"Kevin, have you thought about this? If Otto doesn't want to revive the Second Herrscher, then Kiana, codenamed K423, will also cease to exist." Su still preferred to look at the issue from the perspective of life.

"Then..." Kevin was stumped.

"Otto is the architect of all of Kiana's suffering, and at the same time, he is also her creator." Sue seemed like a theologian.

Kevin gave him a disgruntled look.

"No, none of you saw what Fu Hua said at the end." Sakura noticed that no one around her was discussing Fu Hua's final words about mutual destruction.

"Don't worry, Sakura, Kiana will definitely defeat the Herrscher. We must believe in her." Blanca's voice was gentle, but her tone was firm, like a stream soothing Sakura's anxiety.

"That's right, sister. Although Yaqing killed us without hesitation, he definitely won't kill the main character. I've never seen an anime where the main character is killed!" Ling said confidently.
