It was Otto.

He sat in the dimly lit room, looking at the information on the screen. The information was clearly the background of Changkong City. The audience obviously did not notice the female phantom and the dragon-shaped creature resembling a combat mech in the information.

He was satisfied with the results of the first experiment.

He didn't care about Amber's report about Mei joining World Serpent, K423's disappearance, or the imminent arrival of the Fifth Herrscher.

The night is still long.

Otto has time, he'll have Theresa take care of Kiana.

Otto appears, and the audience is about to angrily denounce this culprit, but little did they know that everything was in his plan. The audience is shocked and wonders how Kiana and the others will deal with this terrifying man.

"This was all part of Otto's plan?!"

Elysia's mouth gaped slightly, because of Otto's terrifying scheming ability. She really couldn't imagine how Kiana and the others could stop Otto, or what price they would have to pay.

"What a terrifying man. I just hope the real him is different from the one in the story," Mei sighed.

Is it scary?

Sakura recalled a trip to Europe when she went shopping with Kallen and lost track of time, shopping until very late. Otto called several times, but Kallen, engrossed in the conversation, didn't answer.

When they came out of the mall, Sakura was surprised to see Otto squatting at the entrance. When she saw Kallen's dissatisfied expression, she realized that the actual person in charge of the world's financial conglomerate was showing signs of weakness.

Sakura shivered. She couldn't possibly compare the weak and submissive husband she had met to Otto, the mastermind behind everything in the story.

"Not necessarily."

As someone who was essentially raised by Otto, Yaqing knows Otto's two faces all too well. If we're talking about the level of scheming in the plot, it's safe to say it surpasses even the level of scheming in reality.

Having seen another side of Otto, he even suspected that his parents' car accident was related to Otto. Unfortunately, his mother had a very good relationship with Kallen, and in an instant, all suspicions against Otto were cleared.

Faced with two completely contradictory answers, this person became even more confused.

"Yaqing, Sister Ying, what kind of personality does President Otto have?"

Pardo asked aloud.

Sakura looked at Yaqing.

Yaqing gestured for Ying to speak first.

Neither of them spoke first, Pardo scratched her head in confusion.

Aponia, being the oldest and most insightful, understood the good and evil in people. She said, "Pardo, you don't need to know other people's personalities, because people's personalities are diverse. They will show different personalities when facing different people. Just like you see Sakura and Mobius in two different ways, don't you?"

"???"

Mobius leaned on Yaqing's shoulder, looking bewildered and not understanding why he had suddenly been questioned.

Pardo scratched her head, thinking about it carefully, and it really was true. Sakura was a gentle older sister to her, but Sister Snake always made her feel scared.

"Hey, little kitty, what do you mean? Why aren't you talking back?" Mobius's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he jokingly threatened, "Otherwise, I'll tie you to my lab table."

"Sister Nia, save me!"

Pardo shuddered and shrank behind Aponia.

[The screen went black, Mei awoke from the virtual training device. The Honkai energy within her body had stabilized, and she had completely taken control of the Herrscher's power.]

Perhaps recalling what the Jackal had done to Kiana, Mei was extremely cold towards her, and even Raven, who wanted to get closer to her, reacted with extreme indifference.

The Jackal gave Mei a golden box called the Staff of the Underworld, which made Mei feel unwell today. She wanted to ask about its use, but the Jackal gave her a riddle.

Just then, a noisy electrical hum broke out, accompanied by a male voice that sounded unfamiliar to Mei.

"Everyone..."

"One minute ago, the Honkai broke out in a city called Coral Island in Southeast Asia."

"The Valkyrie of Schicksal has launched her attack—"

"Let's prepare for action."

The Honkai erupted again, just as the audience expected, because Kevin and Otto had already discussed the imminent birth of the Fifth Herrscher.

They were initially worried that Mei might be bullied after joining World Serpent, but now, seeing how she fares in the story, it's already good enough that the Raiden Queen doesn't bully others.

The most confused person in the audience was Anna, who had brought her boyfriend to watch the movie. Chen Tianwu didn't recognize his own voice, but Anna did—it was a voice that was all too familiar.

"Tianwu, did Uncle Yaqing ask you to do voice acting?" Anna asked curiously.

"No, I haven't spoken to Yaqing... Uncle. How could it be dubbing?" Chen Tianwu was still not used to calling someone who wasn't much older than him "Uncle".

"Brother, I also feel that it's your voice."

Hearing his younger sister Chen Tianwen say the same thing, Chen Tianwu frowned.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm curious how my voice will appear on the screen when I didn't participate in the dubbing.

"You really don't know?"

Anna realized that Chen Tianwu didn't seem to be acting.

Chen Tianwu shook his head.

"After the movie ends, I'll ask my... uncle."

Not only Anna and Chen Tianwen felt it was familiar, but Kevin also felt like he had heard it somewhere before. He thought for a long time and tried to remember.

Night Owl, Qiao Chen Tianwu.

Kevin was deeply impressed by this taciturn junior. He thought Chen Tianwu and Kosma were the same kind of people, which is why he remembered them.

"The Fifth Herrscher?"

According to Mei's initial guess, the Fifth Herrscher was the Herrscher of Death, which should have been Seele's. However, the current plot development has overturned her initial prediction.

Mei looked at Chen Tianwu in the front row.

She didn't believe that Yaqing would suddenly add a completely new character who would appear at the last moment; it must be closely related to the plot of the next movie.

He believed that the more people who were closest to Yaqing were to be stabbed, the more likely they were to be harmed.

Mei had a bold guess.

Anna Schariac is the Fifth Herrscher.

"I wonder when I'll get to play?"

Elysia couldn't wait to see her model standing on the big screen.

Mei suddenly thought of something.

If the people in the Golden Courtyard all belong to the Previous Era, will Mei joining World Serpent unveil the secrets of the Previous Era?

She was looking forward to it, but also didn't want to watch it.

Chapter 264 Easter Egg: Fu Hua's Resurrection

The movie then came to an end.

The subtitles started flashing.

Some people are curious about whose name will be listed as the screenwriter for this movie.

Some people are wondering who will be the screenwriter for this film.

Both those who know the inside story and those who don't are waiting with anticipation.

As they were intently waiting for the credits to roll, Yaqing patted Kevin on the shoulder, signaling him to come with her.

Because Kevin has a role in the film, he is also required to attend the premiere as a voice actor.

No one cared about their departure; everyone's attention was on the screen.

The subtitles scrolled by.

Screenwriter: Welt Yang.

Audiences around the world, unaware of the inside story, were all saying it was just right; the knife from the first movie was back, while Theresa was completely bewildered.

The first two movies used Yaqing's own name, and she thought Yaqing wouldn't do this again, but unexpectedly, she still wrote Welt's name on them.

After the subtitles finish playing, there's an Easter egg.

They rallied their spirits once again.

The crisp sound of shoes stepping on the floor came from the dark screen. When the screen lit up again, the audience found that the scene looked familiar, and the scene modeling was very similar to the post-credits scene of the first movie.

Otto looked at the life support pod in front of him, and the camera then switched to his perspective.

The life support pod, placed vertically, was filled with a sea-blue liquid. A familiar figure lay sleeping peacefully, without a single wound on her body. It was none other than Fu Hua, who had been shot dead on the Schicksal Floating Island.

When Otto reached the life support pod, Fu Hua opened her eyes. Her pupils held confusion, helplessness, and a hint of arrogance.

The audience, upon witnessing this scene, exclaimed in disbelief.

Good heavens! Otto actually brought Fu Hua back to life!

When they had this idea, they realized that Fu Hua hadn't actually died; her consciousness was just bound to Kiana's. So how did Otto awaken Fu Hua?

Is it what I think?

Mobius.

"You're asking me? How would I know?" Mobius said irritably.

A wise person doesn't need many words. As soon as May opened her mouth, Mobius knew what she meant, which could be one of two things.

The first is that "Fu Hua" awakened by Otto is probably Herrscher consciousness.

The second question is, could the "Fu Hua" awakened by Otto be Little Knowledge?

"Great! Hua is finally recovering!"

Elysia clearly didn't think as much as Mobius and Mei did; she was genuinely happy for Fu Hua.

After the post-credits scene ended, the lights in the theater were turned on. The sudden brightness made the audience, who had been accustomed to three hours of darkness, feel uncomfortable for a moment.

"It's over. It was a truly heart-wrenching and tear-jerking movie."

"That means the same thing."

"What does it matter?"

The group from Golden Courtyard did not leave the screening room immediately, because the room had been booked out. They could wait there until Yaqing and Kevin returned from the premiere ceremony.

"Professor Mobius, is that person also an employee of your World Serpent?"

Mobius looked in the direction Elysia was pointing and said sarcastically, "What? Elysia, you've taken a fancy to him?"

No!

Elysia kept waving her hands and said, "What I mean is, the girl next to him looks so familiar."

"You've met someone again?" Mobius tilted his head. "Eden, aren't you going to do anything about this?"

Eden put down the red wine disguised as cola and said seriously, "I also feel like I've seen this before."

Mobius was speechless.

I'm completely speechless.

"That's Yaqing's niece, Anna Schariac."

Upon hearing Mobius's explanation, Elysia and Eden realized why the face looked familiar. Thinking about it carefully, the hair color and the pupils were exactly the same as Yaqing's.

"Hey! Yaqing's niece?"

Everyone in the courtyard, especially Yaqing's niece, was intrigued when they heard the word "niece".

It's common for family generations to be confused in large families, but what they didn't expect was that 28-year-old Yaqing had both nieces and grandnieces.

Seeing Anna and Chen Tianwu preparing to leave with Chen Tianwen, Elysia couldn't help but stand up, waving her arms and shouting, "Wait a minute!"

Anna and Chen Tianwu stopped and turned around in confusion.

When Chen Tianwu saw that his three superiors were sitting right behind him and had watched the same movie as him, he broke out in a cold sweat.
