Fu Hua Is Dead, Himeko Is Dead, Rita Is Dead

Elysia guessed.

"It's already happened once. If it were them again, it shouldn't be... like this... right?"

As Sakura spoke, she became less and less confident.

"Who knows? This crazy plot is unpredictable; you can't guess what will happen next."

Mobius seems to harbor a great deal of resentment towards the plot.

But she still wanted to see Elysia's reaction to the upcoming plot. Although she didn't know what would happen next, based on her familiarity with Yaqing, she knew there would be a big blow coming.

The next part of the plot unfolded exactly the same way. The Captain skillfully chose to escape and decided to go back to sleep, but after the Vodka sisters' reaction, he suddenly felt that something was familiar.

Immediately afterwards, the screen seemed to freeze. Elysia thought it was because she had downloaded the game to her C drive again, causing her computer to lag. But soon the Honkai 3rd and Strange Drifting storylines flashed by, and she was able to relive them all again.

"Huff... huff... Mr. Guān Xīng..."

The Captain was panting heavily when he opened his eyes again and found himself in an underwater ruin.

"Hey... hey! Get out of my way!"

A familiar girl's voice rang out.

The Captain was talking to himself, trying to figure out his situation. He had been teleported away by the Guān Xīng, but instead of returning to the Hyperion, he had returned to the underwater ruins.

"You... why won't you listen to me! We'll be caught if we keep going... I don't care anymore!"

The Captain felt his arm being tugged, but it didn't feel like someone was trying to pull him up.

"How... how is it you?"

The Captain was momentarily dazed by the person's clothes and appearance, but quickly came to his senses.

"You are Theresa..."

They are exactly the same.

When Theresa wears the Guān Xīng's outfit, apart from her eyes, it's hard for anyone to tell if it's Theresa or the Guān Xīng unless she speaks.

But if she were to speak, Theresa's naiveté would overshadow the composure that came with Guān Xīng.

Theresa froze, then gave a bitter laugh.

"Even you recognized me; my disguise was a complete failure."

When Alicia heard that Theresa was no longer the Sage King of the Huang Empire, but a fugitive, Elysia was completely stunned.

"Wait a minute, if Theresa isn't the Sage King anymore, then could it be that the Huang Empire was defeated and annexed by the other two countries?"

In the following plot, Theresa, as a fugitive, is pursued by her enemies. After a battle, she is ultimately no match for the pursuers.

Just as the Captain was about to be killed by the guards, Theresa spoke up in time, saving Captain life. He and Theresa were then taken back together.

From Theresa's words, we learn that she wants to see Rita, while from the pursuers, we learn that the one who gave the order is addressed as His Majesty.

"Your Majesty? Could it be that Miss Fairy was right? The Huang Empire has already changed hands."

"We are ready to fight to the death, why has the Prime Minister surrendered first?!"

Sakura hesitated for a moment.

"I have a bold guess."

Elysia had long noticed Sakura's social anxiety and wanted to strike up a conversation with her as much as possible. Now that Sakura had spoken up herself, she quickly chimed in, "Sakura, what's your guess?"

"Could His Majesty be referring to Guān Xīng?"

Sakura's guess is based on the fact that there is currently no evidence or evidence to support it.

"Huh?!"

Elysia was stunned.

He then smiled.

"Impossible. Why would Mr. Guān Xīng be hunting Theresa? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Judging from Elysia's statement containing three impossible statements, even she herself wasn't sure.

We can only wait and see what happens next.

Night had fallen, and the Captain and Theresa were led by guards to the front of a magnificent palace. Before they could react, the Captain asked instinctively, "Who is the current ruler of the Huang Empire?"

Unexpectedly, this drew laughter from the guards.

"Ha... is this guy out of his mind? In this day and age, who doesn't know..."

He laughed as he released his hand from pressing down on the Captain's head.

The camera shifts to the Captain's first-person perspective, gradually panning upwards, and the audience finally sees Guān Xīng again, but he is very different from the Guān Xīng they remember.

At this moment, the Guān Xīng sat high on the dragon throne, legs crossed, one hand supporting his head, looking at them as if they were ants. In the dark hues, he exuded an air of domineering kingship.

Her pretty face was cold, and her eyes were devoid of emotion.

The guards were like fanatics after being brainwashed, revering him as if he were a god, their tone almost obsessive.

"The current ruler of the Huang Empire is His Sage King, Guān Xīng, who single-handedly ended the chaos of the Three Kingdoms and unified the world!"

Chapter 375 Fu Hua is dead, Himeko is dead, Rita is dead

"This is... Guān Xīng?!"

Elysia was completely stunned.

When they saw Guān Xīng appear with a cold expression, Elysia and the viewers in the live stream were shocked.

In their memory, Guān Xīng was still in a proud and aloof state. For example, he would say that he didn't want Kiana and the others to see his array diagram, but in the end, he still made the Captain say goodbye to Kiana and the others.

["This plot twist is incredible! I didn't expect this week's story to be told in reverse chronological order, but it turns out it is. I don't understand it at all!"]

"According to the Captain's words, he should have just been teleported back to the Hyperion Guān Xīng, but something went wrong, and he was teleported to the underwater ruins instead. So... how did Guān Xīng manage to do that in such a short time?!"

If this week's plot truly continues from last week's Strange Drift, then having just teleported away from the Captain, he immediately returns to lead the Huang Empire to destroy the Pirate Federation and the Schicksal Church, unifying the world.

It's impossible no matter how you look at it!

Seeing the unanimous surprise in the comments, Elysia also felt puzzled.

"That doesn't make sense, considering the timeline."

"Elysia, have you considered what would happen if Guān Xīng returned before the Captain?"

Mobius casually opened his mouth, revealing a trump card.

"Judging from the last teleportation in the array diagram, it can split the entity, and at the same time, it can allow the person who was split to travel to that world again three years later."

If Mobius interpret it this way, then everything makes sense.

There are still a few things that Elysia doesn't understand.

Why has Guān Xīng become so indifferent?

And why was Theresa arrested?

In the room at the end of the corridor on the third floor, Little Knowledge was also live streaming. When she saw this scene, she was stunned.

"Holy crap, Guān Xīng is so cool! It perfectly matches the aura of an emperor."

["Little Knowledge, you should learn more. This kind of deep sense of oppression makes you seem more like a villain, rather than someone like you who gets completely manipulated by Kiana and Fu Hua."]

"I want you, quack!"

Little Knowledge was furious when he saw the username of this comment.

Go ahead and enjoy your game!

Fu Hua smiled when she saw Little Knowledge Shi's childlike temper.

Downstairs, Kevin, his eyes glued to the computer screen and typing furiously, said irritably, "Yaqing, what are you standing there for? Let's start the raid!"

"Oh, oh, here it comes."

Yaqing turned off Little Knowledge's live stream.

The Captain breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guān Xīng and complained to her, but his tone made the guards next to him shout angrily. However, he was not afraid of the guards when facing Guān Xīng.

The Captain was somewhat puzzled. Guān Xīng had once told him that he did not covet fame and only wanted to be a hermit. He felt that there must be some misunderstanding.

Guān Xīng praised the Captain's composure and also mentioned his interest in him.

But there was not a single star in its eyes, like a black hole, swallowing everything that had light, which made people shudder.

The Guān Xīng ordered Theresa to change her clothes.

Her once dazzling stage costumes now struggle under the hands of her maids, almost forced to wear what she used to love most.

"Starcaller, what do you want Theresa to do?"

"The Captain asked."

"I don't want her to do anything. I just want her to be a happy little sparrow, with her wings clipped, singing day and night in the palace."

There was not a trace of human warmth in the Guān Xīng's tone.

Theresa refused, saying she sang for everyone to hear, but the Guān Xīng remained unchanged in his tone, ordering Theresa to sing a song to the stars to enhance the mood, and then saw Theresa wanting to refuse again.

"No matter how many times you reject me, no matter how many times you run away from me, I will find you—just like this time."

Upon hearing these words, which were more of a threat than a threat itself, Theresa immediately gave up the struggle and stood dejectedly to the side.

The way Guān Xīng treated Theresa was chilling.

It was such a tragic thing to confine a young girl who loved the stage so much to a cage-like place deep inside the palace; it caused immense psychological harm to Theresa.

"This... this... is this really Guān Xīng...?"

Elysia couldn't believe it.

She was once so gentle that she would rather die herself than let the Captain get hurt.

"Is this Guān Xīng? Has Otto possessed me? Wait, that doesn't make sense. Otto wouldn't treat me like this."

What exactly happened to Theresa?!

"I hate flashbacks the most!!!"

At this moment, Elysia still harbored a sliver of hope regarding the sweetness that Yaqing had described.

"Elysia, judging from the current plot, I think what Mobius said makes sense."

Sakura sensed that something was wrong.

With this plot development, she couldn't imagine that Guān Xīng would go shopping with the Captain, especially in a sweet and romantic way.

"I think Serpent Lady is right. How much truth can that old thief possibly say? If he says something sweet, it means he's ruthless; if he says something ruthless, then..."

They couldn't even imagine how brutal the plot would be if Yaqing directly admitted to them that it was very cruel.

"Elysia, just watch and see, I think you're going to cry."

Sakura hesitated before speaking.

Elysia remained silent.

The story continues.

[Guān Xīng could tell that the Captain had many questions, but there were more important things to do right now, so she invited the Captain to sit down next to her.]

"Watching this show with me might answer your questions."

Upon hearing this, the audience felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

It was as if I had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

"Let me go!"

The captain was drawn to a loud shout. The two people who were brought in by guards and chained up were dressed differently, but their familiar appearances were none other than Hero Queen Fu Hua and Pirate Queen Himeko.
