Stargazer Is Dead Too?! Completely Shattered!
Judging from their words, Fu Hua and Himeko harbored resentment towards Guān Xīng. Guān Xīng's eyes seemed to be filled with murderous intent for a moment, which quickly disappeared as if it were an illusion.
Immediately afterwards, Guān Xīng made a decision that no one could understand.
Two large items were brought in by the guards, which caused Fu Hua and Himeko to fight each other. One of them was wielding the sharpest sword, and the other was wearing the strongest armor.
What happens when the sharpest spear meets the strongest shield?
"I only want to know if you two, who stood by and watched our country fight to the death against the Hodou, felt the same way I do now?"
Guān Xīng's words made the audience understand why she wanted Himeko and Fu Hua to fight to the death, but they also couldn't understand why the once stubborn but soft-hearted Guān Xīng had become like this.
When the battle reached its final moments, Himeko killed Fu Hua and rushed onto the high platform, determined to kill Guān Xīng at all costs.
Guān Xīng killed Himeko expressionlessly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if the two people who died in front of him were not two living beings, but two ants.
The Captain then realized that Guān Xīng had never intended for anyone to survive from the very beginning.
"How could this be..."
Elysia raised her water glass to her lips, but didn't drink. Instead, she stared blankly at the unfolding plot, Fu Hua's last, barely audible words, Himeko's furious roar, and her desperate charge onto the platform.
He casually killed Himeko Guān Xīng.
All of this developments were beyond Elysia's expectations.
Her illusions were shattered.
"I think I know why Guān Xīng has become like this."
A sudden inspiration struck Sakura.
Mobius stopped her from continuing.
"Stop talking, let's leave them curious."
Sakura nodded.
So far, there is a very important character who has not yet appeared, and she is very likely to have died in the war between the Huang Empire and the Hodou.
Perhaps the Guān Xīng didn't have time to save her, which is why he hated the two countries that stood by and watched, and was willing to use his own methods to make Himeko and Fu Hua kill each other.
Next door.
"Eh! You old relic, you just died like that? Killed by Himeko?!"
Little Knowledge was surprised.
The viewers in the live stream were equally shocked.
When did Himeko's combat power become so high?
He actually managed to solo kill Fu Hua!
"Idiot, that's not the 'me' in the main storyline. The 'me' in this world has never shown his combat power."
Fu Hua tapped Little Knowledge's forehead.
That intimate scene made the viewers in the live stream exclaim that they were shipping them. Even though they knew that Fu Hua and Little Knowledge were twin sisters in real life, it didn't stop the fans from shipping Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Sentience.
"That's not right either. You old antique, you can pull the Sword in the Stone."
Little Knowledge was not bothered by Fu Hua.
Fu Hua retorted directly, "What value is there in pulling out a stone pillar that Rosalia smashed with her headbutt?"
"That's true!"
Little Knowledge suddenly realized that Fu Hua's words made sense.
The atmosphere in Elysia's live stream and Little Knowledge's live stream is completely different.
Elysia's side was very enthusiastic about the discussion.
Little Knowledge, on the other hand, is keen on chatting and joking around.
By the time the Captain realized what had happened, the bloodstains had been cleaned up. Theresa's screams still seemed to linger in his ears. The frightened Theresa had been taken away by her maids to rest.
Guān Xīng walked back up the steps to the high platform, calmly took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid, wiped the blood off his face, and leaned back in the chair.
"Ha... that's it."
Guān Xīng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and a maidservant silently brought over two wine cups and poured wine.
The Guān Xīng invited the Captain for a drink, but the Captain opened his mouth and still felt parched, unable to speak.
Guān Xīng decided to punish himself with a cup of wine, but after taking a sip, his expression changed drastically. He threw the wine cup to the ground with force, making a crisp shattering sound, and angrily scolded the maid for warming the wine and ruining its taste.
The maid was dragged away by the guards, and her fate was clearly unknown.
Two more maids then came up with new wine cups and wine, and refilled them. Their faces remained calm and unchanged, as if they were already used to it.
After a few drinks, the Captain's cold sweat finally subsided, and his brain, which had been idle for a long time, began to function again. Looking around, he realized that he hadn't seen Rita at all from the beginning.
When the Captain asked where Rita was, Guān Xīng paused for a moment as he picked up his wine glass, falling into a long-lost silence.
She stroked the wine glass back and forth, then refilled it herself, raising it to the sky as if to clink glasses.
"You noticed it too...?"
The Captain followed the Guān Xīng's gaze and saw only a star that flickered between light and shadow, while the Guān Xīng's soft voice reached his ears.
"Rita is dead"
They had sensed something was wrong when the Captain asked Guān Xīng where Rita was and Guān Xīng didn't answer. But the plot didn't give them time to react and threw out a bombshell.
"Rita... is dead? How could Rita be dead? Didn't she live forever with Guān Xīng? No, it's impossible, I don't believe it!"
Many people didn't even have time to react to that stab.
Especially when recalling the scene in Honkai 3rd where Guān Xīng told the Captain that those who leave will become stars in the sky, and Guān Xīng raising his glass to the twinkling stars in the sky, it brought tears to my eyes.
"Those who depart will become stars in the sky, and Rita is watching this scene too."
"I'm truly impressed! That was so unexpected! Didn't Rita wish for immortality?"
"Immortality doesn't mean immortality. If Rita died because of the Hodou, then everything makes sense. Why does the Guān Xīng hate Himeko and Fu Hua so much? It's probably because they stood by and watched, which led to Rita's death."
Sakura sighed.
Unexpectedly, the plot unfolded exactly as she had predicted.
Elysia was completely stunned.
Yaqing's words kept repeating in my mind.
"Don't worry, Elysia, don't you trust me? I guarantee that this week's episode will definitely feature the Captain and Guān Xīng's sweet shopping trip. Go ahead and watch it."
"Don't worry, Elysia, don't you trust me? I guarantee this week's storyline will definitely feature a sweet stroll between the Captain and Guān Xīng..."
"Don't worry, Elysia, don't you trust me? I guarantee that this week's plot will definitely include the Captain and..."
Mobius shook his head upon seeing this.
Elysia trusted Yaqing too much.
Sweet = angst, angst = special angst, special angst = the end...
We should apply this theory to what Yaqing said.
"Elysia, try to think positively. At least Guān Xīng isn't dead yet."
Sakura patted Elysia on the shoulder.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Elysia said, "Sakura, how can you comfort someone like that?"
"Oh dear, don't cry."
Sakura frantically pulled out a few tissues.
She's really not good at comforting people.
Every time Bell cried, she would leave Bell there until Blanca saw it and came over to comfort her. If Blanca didn't see her, Bell would cry for a while and then stop crying when she realized that no one was paying attention to her.
Seeing Sakura's flustered state, Elysia burst into laughter through her tears.
"Elysia, look at the title of the show, who is that star finger?"
Mobius spoke softly.
Elysia was stunned again.
"Mobius, Miss Fairy is starting to dislike you..."
"That would be wonderful!"
Mobius was excited.
Elysia was completely overwhelmed.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"
Sakura wasn't very familiar with comforting.
"Mei, don't just stand there watching!"
Mei looked up. She hadn't said a word since the beginning and had been looking at her phone the whole time.
"What's wrong with Elysia?"
Sakura suddenly felt like she had mistakenly entered a kindergarten.
376
Chapter 376 Even the Guān Xīng is dead?! Completely breaking down!
Rita... is dead?
The Captain's first reaction was disbelief. When he encountered Theresa in the ruins, she was still saying she wanted to see Rita.
Guān Xīng explained to him that she had returned three months earlier than him, and that during those three months, a tremendous change had taken place. The cause of it all was the three years she had spent on the deserted island.
Although Guān Xīng had reinforced Hodou's seal many times, this time he had been away for too long, and Hodou broke through the seal. Its first target for revenge after breaking the seal was the Huang Empire.
She wanted to reseal Hodou, but realized that the person who once walked alongside her was no longer there. With only the formation, completing the seal would not be something that could be done overnight.
As for reinforcements, not only did they not return, but even the envoys who went there never came back.
In the end, Rita Hodou, perishing together with it. Guān Xīng found her body by the river.
"Rita lay in the water, as if she were sleeping peacefully."
"She was covered in wounds, but they had stopped bleeding long ago."
"I picked up Rita; her clothes were soaked, but her body felt so light, as if all the blood had drained from her..."
"Whenever Rita looks at me, I always feel that she is smiling, because her eyes are always smiling."
"But... I can no longer see her eyes."
Patrick was in charge of this scene, and it's rare for a minister to be personally responsible for a short scene of just a few seconds. It is precisely because of this attention to detail that the scene, even in warm colors, can still evoke sadness in the audience.
When Guān Xīng held Rita's body and looked up, the resentment in his eyes seemed to penetrate the screen and reach the hearts of the viewers.
At this moment, Elysia and the other viewers of the web series understood the change in Guān Xīng; she wanted to avenge Rita.
A thousand years ago, when Guān Xīng was still the Crown Grandson, Rita was loyal to her. After a thousand years of companionship, their relationship had long surpassed the distinction between ruler and subject, and they were like family, the only family she had.
Now that Rita has died because the other two countries stood by and watched, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Guān Xīng to tear the Pirate King and the Hero King to pieces, nor would it be surprising.
After being comforted by Sakura, Elysia's mood improved, but she couldn't hold back her emotions again when she said the last sentence.
"Hey hey hey!"
Seeing that Elysia was about to burst into tears again, Sakura's CPU started working at lightning speed. After a moment of inspiration, she quickly said, "Elysia, think about it. Now that we're back in this world, wouldn't the Xiao Te left behind by the future Captain be useful?"
Elysia looked up at Sakura.
Sakura wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She even wondered if the air conditioner was set too high, because she was sweating so much.
"Elysia, think about it carefully. Why would the future Captain leave Xiao Te behind? It must be because the current Captain needs to use her. At the very least, how? She must use her energy to find that big rock and make a wish to go back to the past."
Sakura felt she had never spoken so fast before.
