"Holy crap, could it be a knife-like Kiana?!"

"No matter which screenwriter it is, if they dare to kill Kiana, I'm really willing to go offline and kill them!"

"I'm a damn damn screenwriter!" (Fan swear word)

["Mei Honkai energy sealed on the moon. Kiana's name sounds like the goddess of moonlight. Could it be..."]

"Damn it! *(Fan swear word) *Screenwriter!"

Viewers immediately started yelling in the comments section, even insulting the screenwriter's family. They didn't even know which screenwriter wrote "Post-Honkai Odyssey," but that didn't stop them from cursing.

Chapter 281 Digging a Hole, Breaking Through Defenses!

The more level-headed viewers seemed to sense something was wrong, but amidst the countless angry shouts, they were like a small boat in a storm, swallowed by towering waves.

"Wait, have you ever seen such abrupt swordplay in the Honkai series?"

"If they really wanted to kill Kiana, they would definitely have waited until after the Honkai ended before releasing this web series. Judging from the current timing, it's just deliberately trying to confuse people."

"Perhaps the screenwriter of this web series is secretly enjoying watching you all break down in your defenses."

Yaqing was watching Sirin's live stream on her phone when she saw this comment and paused for a moment.

"Yaqing, aren't you afraid of going too far?" Mei asked with a half-smile.

As a representative of rationality, May stands in stark contrast to the impulsive Kevin; her first reaction is not anger, but questioning.

As Yaqing was snuggling up to Mobius, a certain fairy lady watched with envy, rubbing her cheek against Eden's to ease her inner longing.

"What are you afraid of?"

Yaqing stopped rubbing Mobius's palm.

"Too."

Mei looked completely at ease.

Everyone was stunned, especially Kevin.

[In order to allow the Bishop Mei to witness the bizarre scene of Saint Fontaine with his own eyes, an array was set up, and the headquarters' communications also came in at the right time.]

"Hello, Mei..."

"Greetings, Your Bishop."

To the audience's surprise, the bishop of Schicksal was not Otto, but Theresa.

This answer seems unexpected, but it should be taken for granted.

If the bishop were still Otto, then the task of finding Welt Yang could not have fallen to Schicksal's third squad, and Einstein and Tesla could not have rejoined Schicksal.

"Dog Otto a good death!"

Upon seeing Theresa become the main character, the audience immediately realized Otto's death.

But they quickly realized something was wrong, after all, the last scene of "Post-Honkai Odyssey" featured that blond figure from behind, and they would never forget it.

"If Otto didn't die, then why is Theresa the Bishop of Schicksal?"

"Although I don't know if Otto's feelings for Theresa were part of his plan, I think if Otto were still alive, he certainly wouldn't have let his granddaughter go through so much trouble."

Family ties are always a double-edged sword.

When a comment mentioned the relationship between Otto and Theresa, even viewers who disliked Otto fell silent for a short time.

"You wouldn't happen to be Otto, would you?"

After a moment of silence, a comment appeared on the screen.

"How could that be?"

In those few words, they seemed to hear Otto's flirtatious voice in their ears.

Theresa's voice was rather weak. Since becoming a bishop, she seemed to have matured a lot, and her face still showed signs of fatigue from working on documents all night yesterday.

Mei couldn't help but show concern.

After a few casual words, Theresa became extremely serious about her work, getting straight to the point and asking Mei to share the footage.

After witnessing the lifeless city of Saint Fontaine, Theresa wondered how Saint Fontaine had managed to evade the surveillance system personally set up by Otto.

"It's unclear at the moment; we are investigating."

"Yes, but we need to prioritize. Right now, finding the missing Welt is the most important thing."

In order to find Welt Yang's whereabouts, Mei used the remaining Third Herrscher energy in her body as a catalyst. While the system was analyzing Mei's energy, Theresa found Adam.

"I remember Mei called you... Adam, right?"

"Yes, Your Bishop."

"Hey, don't be so reserved."

"What a great excuse to be so reserved! I remember he graduated from the St. Freya Academy, but I can't recall his name, and he's also my direct superior. How can I not be reserved?"

"By the way, isn't St. Freya Academy an all-girls school?"

"That's just reality. In the story, it's simply that women are more compatible with Honkai energy than men, which is why St. Freya Academy is full of female students."

"No wonder, how could I not remember him when he was the only guy there?"

Unlike Sirin's live stream, the topics of discussion within Golden Courtyard were different.

"Poor Theresa, I really want to hug her." Elysia looked at Theresa on the screen.

"So being a bishop is this tiring? But Otto doesn't seem to be like this at all." Little Knowledge didn't sit on the sofa, but sat cross-legged on the carpet.

"He's not even human anymore, how can you compare to him?"

Fu Hua's words were concise and to the point.

"That's true." Little Knowledge slurped up her popsicle.

"How was it? Working with Captain Mei?"

"The captain is very good to me."

"Hmm, that's good." Theresa's tired eyes lit up with a hint of reminiscence, and she smiled slightly. "I've known your Captain Mei for a long time. She used to be very gentle and reliable..."

As if realizing she had said the wrong thing, Theresa hurriedly tried to make amends like a child who had done something wrong. "Oh, I didn't mean her... I mean, she's gentler and more reliable now than before!"

The audience was laughing when they saw this part, but Theresa's next sentence made them stop laughing.

"She lost someone very important to me, just like me, but Mei is stronger than me. I think she must have been very sad, but she never showed it."

"She was always there for me during my lowest point, encouraging me to pull myself together."

Theresa composed herself.

"Mei mentioned you to me. She said you have great potential, are very reliable, and are much more mature than you appear."

"People never used to say I was mature, but now I hear that word occasionally. Maybe being mature just means not talking much."

"Holy crap!"

The viewers who were initially laughing suddenly felt a sense of foreboding after watching this segment. If Mei's segment was just to lure the audience into the trap, then Theresa's segment was to completely bury the trap.

Even viewers who initially held different opinions lost their confidence at this moment.

"Damn it, can it really be true?"

At first, they thought the writers just wanted to see them break down, but the series of foreshadowing events was definitely not normal.

"If they really kill Kiana, no matter how good the rest of the story is, I'm quitting the game."

"I think there's a high probability Kiana won't sacrifice herself, because that's the simplest sword technique. If it were me, I'd first have Kiana merge with the fourteen Herrscher Core to become the Herrscher of the End, and then have Mei and the others kill Kiana with their own hands and seal 99% of the Honkai energy."

"You deserve to die!"

"We need to create a word that's more aggressive than 'livestock,' so how about we call him Otto?"

Chapter 282 Audience: Is Otto dead or not? Give us a straight answer.

An eerie silence fell over the house where Kiana and her three friends were renting. They looked at each other, not daring to speak. Bronya and Seele didn't dare to say a word.

Mei, who had only recorded a few Mei, was assigned to do post-production work for the online movie "Honkai 3rd: Frost Melts in the Crevice," so she didn't have much experience with "Post-Honkai Odyssey."

Mei was stunned when she saw this scene.

"Don't worry, Mei. Your old uncle wouldn't dare kill me off."

Kiana laughed heartily.

You'd never guess that when you first saw the script, you were ready to go to Yaqing's office and fight her to the death.

"But, Kiana..."

"Losing someone important doesn't necessarily mean it's me; what if it's Ryoma?"

Bronya subconsciously echoed Kiana's words, "Yeah, what if it's a dragon..."

Halfway through her sentence, Bronya suddenly realized something was wrong and looked at Kiana in shock.

Do you even know what you're saying?!

To Bronya's surprise, Mei actually laughed out loud after hearing those words.

Birds of a feather flock together; they're all crazy women.

Bronya thought to herself.

"The point isn't here, but rather what Aunt said: she also lost someone very important. So, who else is important to Aunt?"

Kiana deliberately changed the subject.

The other three women didn't say anything either.

As Kiana asked her question, a name almost popped into their minds: Otto must be one of the people Theresa considered important.

The fate of Otto has once again sparked heated debate online. Some believe that Theresa's statement about losing someone important refers to Otto, while others think that person refers to Kiana.

Neither side could convince the other.

While Adam and Theresa were talking, Mei had already completed the setup and detected two reactions: one from herself and the other from the intercity.

"Great! This is... perfect! I need to... hurry..."

Theresa's communication was interrupted, which was obviously very abnormal, as another frequency band was being connected.

"But... we're using a Honkai energy communicator. Who else knows how to use this technology?" Mei didn't have time to think and immediately ordered Adam to take out the communicator and connect to that frequency.

Adam must not be neglected.

As soon as the frequency band was taken over, a familiar sound was heard.

"—Welcome, esteemed Sky People, allow me to guess the purpose of your visit—"

When the audience actually heard Otto's voice again, they were all thinking, "Holy crap!"—whether they were guessing Otto was still alive or Otto was dead.

They had only one thought in their minds: that it would be good if Otto were really dead.

"That damned Otto, he can't even die peacefully."

"Sky People? Could there really be a celestial palace?"

"Kiana it can't be called Kiana anymore; it has to be called the Qitian Dasheng."

["Could this be a recording Otto left behind before he died?"]

"Grandpa is really hateful!"

Theresa, who was slacking off in the office, saw the comments on the live stream and sighed.
