The Theater of One. / Guesses, Suspicions-Will Seele Become a Herrscher? Will the Little Angel Get Hurt?
The curtain falls on the Day the Stars and You Vanished.
The plot was incredibly powerful. Because the previous three weeks' events had made them lower their guard, they didn't expect the plot to be so outrageously drastic in the final week.
The online comments section was absolutely furious.
However, the web series did not explicitly state who the screenwriter was.
So the audience can only guess.
Ultimately, they guessed it was Otto Apocalypse.
Otto, who had just woken up in the hospital, was about to call Yaqing when he unexpectedly found himself caught up in a controversy online.
Upon seeing this, fans of the Honkai actually claimed that "The Day the Stars and You Vanished" was their own creation.
Otto nearly choked and fainted again.
Amber hurriedly went to find the nurse.
Yaqing still doesn't know.
He was so angry that the person in charge of Schicksal was hospitalized because he wrote a script.
Then Amber called him.
He then realized how powerful the web series was.
Now that it's March, viewers are no longer concerned with web series, but with movies, or more precisely, the main storyline of movies adapted into web series.
The promotional video whetted their appetite.
And now, we're just waiting for the main storyline to satisfy our cravings.
"A theater for a thousand people! A glimpse into another side of humanity!"
The homepage recommendations on the Collapse Official Website were suddenly taken over.

Chapter 382 A Theater for One.
On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head.
On the second day of the second lunar month, Fu Hua and Little Knowledge, being from Shenzhou, went to their trusted barbershop for a haircut, only symbolically trimming the edges of their long hair.
"Old fogey, do you think my new hairstyle looks good?!"
Little Knowledge stood with his hands on his hips, beaming.
Her long, gray-blue hair, which had been draped behind her back, was tied at her waist, and two strands of white dye were tucked behind her ears. Her beautiful, blood-red eyes seemed to be expecting praise from Fu Hua.
"It looks great."
Hearing Fu Hua's praise, Little Knowledge was as happy as a child.
Fu Hua has never had her hair styled before, and her long hair is usually simply styled. Today, Little Knowledge Shi dragged her over and gave her a hairstyle similar to that of "Fu Hua" in the anime.
"Old man, today is the first broadcast of the Honkai 3rd main storyline, let's hurry back, quick, quick, quick!"
Little Knowledge Shi was looking at the various analyses being done by Collapse Official Website of Honkai Impact 3rd when she suddenly noticed that the recommended page on the homepage had changed. A line of white text with a dark theme was particularly eye-catching.
"Little Knowledge, slow down."
Like a mother, Fu Hua was still worried that Little Knowledge would fall while running in high heels.
"Old relic, hurry up!"
Little Knowledge waved from a distance.
Fu Hua quickly followed.
The two, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, bought a bicycle and rode all the way from the city to the Golden Courtyard in the suburbs.
As for the issue of returning the bikes, Eden had already considered this. They partnered with a bike-sharing company to set up a dedicated return point not far from the entrance of Golden Courtyard. Apart from Golden Courtyard's tenants, very few people could come here.
"Surprise!"
Little Knowledge pushed open the courtyard gate and shouted.
It attracted the attention of several people in the living room.
"It's so beautiful!"
When Elysia saw Little Knowledge and Fu Hua's new hairstyles, her beautiful eyes lit up.
Elysia appeared beside Little Knowledge and Fu Hua as if she had teleported, "Little Knowledge, Hua, did you get a haircut today? Your new hairstyle looks really good!"
"Hey-hey."
Praised by Elysia, Little Knowledge Shi chuckled and proudly puffed out his still-rising chest.
"The old man only wanted a trim, but thanks to my strong persuasion, he got a new hairstyle. That old-fashioned hairstyle should have been changed a long time ago..."
Little Knowledge spoke eloquently.
Fu Hua blushed slightly at the scene.
"Little Knowledge, aren't we going back to see the Honkai?"
Fu Hua pulled Little Knowledge upstairs.
"Oh, oh, oh, the old antique and I are going back to our room now!"
Little Knowledge was very polite and even said goodbye to everyone.
"Honkai 3rd has been updated?"
After checking the Collapse Official Website and noticing the change in the homepage recommendations, Elysia belatedly realized what had happened. She then randomly picked a few of today's livestream guests and went upstairs.
After Fu Hua pulled Little Knowledge back to the room, Little Knowledge couldn't wait to turn on the computer and clicked on the Honkai Collapse Official Website without hesitation.
"It's starting! It's starting!"
Little Knowledge's room is like a treasure chest.
She pulled out two large buckets of popcorn from somewhere.
Fu Hua returned to her room next door, brewed a cup of tea, and then came back with her old-fashioned teacup.
Only after Fu Hua returned did Little Knowledge click to play the video.
What is the significance of an individual to the world?
It's from the post-credits scene of the previous movie, a line that Mei praised as very philosophical.
The beginning is completely different from The Taixu Dream Records. Instead of using strong visuals to grab the audience's attention, it tells the story of a man John Doe and his ordinary life from a first-person perspective.
From going to school to going to school, from the Honkai of conversations with friends that were suppressed by the authorities to an ordinary day, until falling into an abyss of darkness, eerily quiet.
When the scene appeared in his viewpoint, he was in a strange group of buildings.
The common sense he knew was ruthlessly shattered at this moment. Broken corridors twisted and stretched forward at strange angles, and strange symbols were carved on irregular stone pillars. Deep in the corridors, ancient doors of unrecognizable appearances were connected, and the solemn castle quietly exuded a silent power.
The sharp glass windows cast bizarre and fantastical shadows, while fragmented, ethereal singing faintly drifted from within.
What attracts the most attention is the huge terrace floating in the air, with the stands layered like flower petals, surrounding the magnificent and exquisite stage.
"This is... a theater?"
In the blink of an eye, accompanied by eerie music, countless puppets of various shapes suddenly appeared everywhere, slowly surging towards the theater with stiff steps.
The doll was wrapped in countless transparent threads, the source of which hung down from the sky, as if an invisible hand was controlling everything.
Among those puppets, the audience saw familiar faces—classmates and roommates who had just appeared in the academy. Even the professors who were giving lectures were now like the other puppets, heads down, focused only on moving forward.
"Hey, wait a minute, what's going on here..."
He shouted and tried to run toward the doll, but he froze after taking a step and looked down at his feet, where a thin, long, transparent thread was also extending.
"Ah, I see, so that's how it is..."
He finally let out a half-understanding laugh, as if he had figured everything out, like a helpless laugh after all was over.
The End.
Only three large, bright red characters remained in the pitch-black screen.
"Ah!!!"
When the man's last laugh came, the most timid Kitty screamed in fright and hid behind Sakura, trembling.
"Sister Elysia, you... you moved the cabinet, I... I don't want to look anymore."
Pardo's voice was trembling.
Elysia is also completely baffled.
This doesn't feel like watching a movie about Honkai; it feels more like watching a horror movie. If the previous film's plot was a martial arts film full of Shenzhou flavor, then the beginning of this one is an extremely eerie horror film.
It sends chills down your spine.
"A doll?"
As the most famous "plot derailment expert" on the official website, Vill-V immediately noticed that something was wrong with the plot development.
"Is the doll Herrscher? So, for this movie... no, this week's plot should revolve around the doll's story, a one-man show..."
Vill-V fell into deep thought.
"Pardo, is it really that scary?"
Sakura was somewhat puzzled.
Pardo trembled, her finger pointing shakily at Elysia's wardrobe. "Sakura-nee, just now... just now the wardrobe really moved! I... I'm scared..."
Sakura was puzzled. As a former shrine maiden, she had never believed in ghosts or gods because she had seen too many deceptive tricks.
"Elysia, can you open the wardrobe?"
Elysia nodded. She seemed to have seen the wardrobe move slightly out of the corner of her eye, but she was too frightened to open it.
Sakura stood up and walked towards the wardrobe.
At that moment, her silhouette appeared like a deity to Elysia and Pardo.
Sakura opened the wardrobe without hesitation.
Pardo covered her eyes in fright.
The Canned Food jumped out of the closet and onto Elysia's bed. With its head held high, Pardo seemed to sense the pet's disdain for its owner. It then gracefully walked away from the room.

Chapter 383 Speculation, Doubt, Seele Becomes Herrscher? A Little Angel Who Strikes?
"A marionette?"
Kiana hugged Mei tightly, seemingly out of fear.
"Mei ~, I'm scared..."
Fear?
Mei almost burst out laughing. That fearless young lady was actually afraid of dolls. To avoid upsetting Kiana, she didn't say anything, but instead ruffled Kiana's flowing hair.
She only changed her expression when she felt a groping hand slip inside her clothes.
Kiana!
"Mei, I was wrong!"
While Kiana and Mei were snuggling together, Bronya was engrossed in analyzing what exactly a doll was and the necessity of this underlying plot.
Having become the game's lead planner at Walter Yang's studio, Bronya no longer views the Honkai anime from the perspective of a viewer, but rather as a colleague, recognizing that the anime's storyline and the game's storyline are essentially one and the same.
Seele sighed as she watched Bronya talking to herself.
She knew Bronya was under a lot of pressure, but there was nothing she could do to help.
"Seele, your Sister Bronya is so busy with work that she doesn't have time for you. That's why I'm the one who will always be by your side."
Dark Seele's voice echoed in Seele's mind.
"No... no, Sister Bronya just..."
