The Blood-Pressure-Spiking Herrscher of Thousands Incites Public Outrage

Seele and Kiana meet and go to Salt Lake City together to shop. During the shopping trip, they quickly grow closer.

When the mechs started setting off fireworks, the audience had a hunch that they would go berserk. Sure enough, while Seele and Kiana were eating parfaits and sharing their feelings, the mechs outside went berserk.

Listening to Kiana's heartfelt words to Seele, viewers felt that Kiana had truly grown up. She voluntarily wore the confinement bracelet, no longer showing suicidal tendencies. Her current focus is more on suppressing Sirin's consciousness to prevent more people from being harmed.

"Even without her showing her face, Her Queen has consistently Honkai most movies."

There was one particularly eye-catching comment.

Sirin was furious when she saw this, because the model based on her had never appeared since the first movie; it either existed in other people's mouths or was just a borrowed image of Kiana.

After dealing with the rampaging mechs in the square, Kiana instinctively covered her golden eyes as the little girl thanked her and expressed her concern. Seele used the excuse of being magicians to help Kiana out of the predicament.

Kiana seized the opportunity and, using magic as an excuse, turned her other eye back to sky blue.

After telling a white lie to send the little girl home, Kiana thanked Seele felt she hadn't done anything wrong. The two then turned their attention to the mechs.

This episode has ended, and the new episode has reached the third act. The two find the key and apartment door number inside a mascot costume, so Seele decides to return these items to the staff member and ask about the situation.

Kiana said she needed to wait a moment; she needed to report the situation to Anti-Entropy first, and asked Seele to wait for her where she was.

The mecha uprising was something I first heard about from Tesla, and then it happened in front of Kiana and Seele, which makes one think carefully.

"Herrscher? That's not right. Even Little Knowledge, a Herrscher of consciousness, can't control a mecha. Could it be World Serpent?"

Elysia guessed.

"World Serpent? Unless Kevin's gone mad, why would he cause so many horrific incidents around the world? Besides, the Stigmata Project is currently the most important thing for World Serpent, why bother with such trivial matters..."

Sakura shook her head; she thought it was unlikely to be the World Serpent.

"Schicksal?"

"Sister Elysia, the real power in Schicksal is currently held by Durandal and Rita. We don't think they are capable of doing something like this. As for... Otto? We don't think he would hide behind the scenes and pull such a stunt."

Pardo then refuted another of Elysia's guesses.

Elysia immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Actually, Elysia, Herrscher isn't impossible."

Suddenly, Vill-V spoke, looking at Sakura.

Everyone present and the viewers in the live stream understood that Vill-V meant Sakura's younger sister, Rin, the Herrscher of Corruption, the Herrscher who controlled the nuclear silo to launch nuclear missiles that led to the destruction of humanity's last three cities.

"But, Vill-V, isn't the Herrscher of Corruption the 12th Herrscher to be born?"

Elysia was puzzled.

"From the time when the Herrscher of Stone and the Herrscher of Ice, who were originally the ninth Herrscher to be born, appeared together, the order in which the Herrscher appeared was already very different from that of the Previous Era."

With a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, Vill-V was frantically writing something.

"The Herrscher of Ice was the fifth Herrscher to be born. The Herrscher of Death should have been the Sixth Herrscher after her, but the Ninth Herrscher of Herrscher of Stone cut in line, causing the Eighth Herrscher of Herrscher of Sentience to appear earlier."

Vill-V's analysis makes a lot of sense.

At least Elysia was convinced.

"So, before we know what the situation is with the Tenth Herrscher, I guess the Herrscher of Death or the Herrscher of Corruption might appear in this movie."

Vill-V's decision was final, and no one objected.

While waiting for Kiana to return, Seele went to see Dark Seele again, curious about her unusual quietness today, and discussed her views on the mech uprising.

Dark Seele was blunt, but when Seele asked her, she still chose to answer. However, she couldn't figure out what was going on with the mech riot just now. It seemed to have started moving on its own, without anyone controlling it.

To everyone's surprise, Seele's next words precisely hit the nail on the head regarding Dark Seele's sensitive spot.

"You heard what Kiana said just now, right? She's struggling with how to fight her other personality. So I was thinking, can we help her?"

"Ah...?!"

Upon hearing this, Dark Seele's face immediately darkened, and his scarlet eyes stared intently at Seele.

But Seele seemed oblivious and continued talking.

"After all, we have more experience in taking control of our bodies."

"What do you mean by that? Do you think... I'm the same kind of person as that girl named Sirin?"

Dark Seele said in an icy tone.

"Huh? That's not what I meant..."

Seele hurriedly tried to explain.

"Dangerous, violent, ruthless—you're comparing me to that kind of guy?"

"No! Sirin has been hurting Kiana, while you are protecting me. You are different!"

Seele realized she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly tried to explain, but Dark Seele wouldn't listen and directly asked a question.

"Then tell me—what am I in your eyes?"

Faced with this question, Seele was momentarily speechless and didn't know how to answer. But in Dark Seele's eyes, silence was an admission. She pretended to be used to it and generously said, "Don't ask this kind of question again next time."

"I'm sorry, but I really can't answer your question right now."

Seele's tone was weak, yet incredibly earnest.

"However, I will think about it carefully, think hard, and think desperately, and give you an answer."

Give me a little time!

After saying that, Seele left the space, leaving behind a somewhat sad and happy Dark Seele. In the end, she said something unpleasant.

"Ugh... So annoying, ha..."

No one expected that the gentle and considerate little angel Seele would one day step on a landmine. When Seele asked Dark Seele about Sirin, their hearts jumped into their throats.

Seele asks such a question, it's hard not to make Dark Seele overthink it. Could it be that in Seele's heart she and Sirin are the same kind of people?

"Uh... I do want to see Dark Seele get jealous, but I don't want to see her and Seele have a fight."

Elysia has a toothache.

She always inexplicably sees Fu Hua and Little Knowledge looking at each other. What if Dark Seele also leaves Seele in the end?

In the previous movie, she started to believe that Fu Hua could coax Xiao Little Knowledge, then she believed that Kiana could coax Little Knowledge, and now she believes that Seele can coax Dark Seele. Isn't this a kind of karmic cycle?

Elysia thought her predictions were incredibly accurate.

He quickly shook his head, trying to shake those thoughts out of his mind.

"The other Seele isn't jealous, she's afraid."

Sakura, who has a younger sister, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Fear?"

Everyone present and the viewers in the live stream were stunned.

Judging from the current plot, no one has argued from this perspective.

"Yes, when we were little, Ling would sometimes throw tantrums at me for no reason. Later I asked her why, and it turned out she was afraid that I would ignore her after I started school and made new friends."

Sakura couldn't help but smile as she thought of this scene.

"Thinking about it carefully, isn't the other Seele thinking the same thing? At first, in the Sea of Quanta, only I was by Seele's side. Now that we've left the Sea of Quanta, and I see Seele making more and more friends, wouldn't I feel afraid and apprehensive? Isn't Seele gradually drifting further and further away from me?"

Sakura's words made many people fall into deep thought.

At the very beginning of the story, they noticed Dark Seele's strangeness. She seemed to always want to help Seele, even after being rejected. If that's the case, Dark Seele was genuinely afraid that she wouldn't be able to help Seele and would gradually be forgotten by Seele.

"If things continue like this, the relationship between the two is very likely to become like that between Hua and Little Knowledge."

"Ah! No!"

Pardo and Elysia embraced each other in anguish.

I don't think so.

Sakura shook her head, rejecting Vill-V's opinion.

"Because the other Seele really loves Seele, it's very unlikely that things will develop that way. I believe her."

Sakura believes in love, and even more so in sisterhood.

"But... Sister Ying, you still don't have a boyfriend..."

Pardo weakly expressed her opinion.

Sakura, who had just been full of vigor, suddenly lowered her head, as if a dark cloud had formed above her.

Pardo wished she could slap herself a few times.

Chapter 385 The Blood Pressure-Raising Herrscher of the Thousand Sparks Public Outrage

The conversation between Seele and Dark Seele did not go smoothly. When they returned to reality, Kiana had already returned. The investigation was also not going well, and they needed to continue to retrieve surveillance footage.

When Seele heard this, Kiana asked Seele to find a witness at the scene. She also told Seele that the person in charge said the man was a college student from the neighborhood named John Doe.

After receiving the electronic student ID from Kiana, Seele went to the school to find John Doe.

When Kiana uttered the name John Doe, Elysia and the others instinctively sensed something was wrong. Upon closer reflection, wasn't John Doe the man who turned into a doll at the beginning of this week's story?!

"The mastermind behind it all is indeed those puppets, no, it should be said that it is the Herrscher who controls those puppets."

Elysia was somewhat worried.

Isn't it too dangerous for Seele to approach the mastermind alone?

The current pacing of the plot is telling the audience that Seele and Dark Seele are the main characters in this week's story.

As the protagonist of Honkai anime, the things he has to go through are things that ordinary people cannot go through.

Seele asked the teachers and students in the square about John Doe, but few people remembered him. She finally found a student who remembered the name and learned that John Doe had not come to class for a month.

Seele didn't get any useful information, so she prepared to go directly to his apartment. As the audience guessed, Seele was attacked as soon as she arrived at the university apartment.

Fortunately, Seele reacted quickly and dealt with the mech that appeared out of nowhere. To her surprise, there were no traces of the battle left on the ground, and even the mech had disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

While apologizing Seele pushed open the door, and what came into view was a doll lying on the ground with its limbs twisted and broken. Dark Seele immediately noticed something was wrong and told Seele not to move.

In the tense atmosphere, the landlady told them that John Doe had died a month earlier.

Pardo felt a chill run down his spine.

If she had a tail, the fur on it would probably stand up.

"He died a month ago... Then... is the person inside the doll a ghost?"

The thought was terrifying. Pardo screamed in fright and hid behind Sakura.

Horror movie?

Sakura became interested.

Are there ghosts in the Honkai world?

Elysia was puzzled.

"Definitely not. If there really were a ghost, given Otto's obsession with reviving Kallen, he would have figured it out long ago. Why would he bother with all this effort to carry out some plan?"

Vill-V scoffed. As a staunch materialist, she never believed in gods or ghosts. All superstitions stemmed from a lack of knowledge, leading people to attribute inexplicable things to spirits.

"It's just the Herrscher's method. It's possible... he can only become a puppet after he dies."

[With Dark Seele's reminder, Seele discovers that the doll has a ticket for a performance called Theater of Domination. Dark Seele instinctively feels disgusted by the name and the play on the ticket.]

"Seele, you'd better not get too involved in this matter, it will become very troublesome."

Dark Seele wants Seele to stop the investigation.

But Seele still wanted to investigate further, to find out the truth behind his death and the unknown secrets behind it.

"Thank you. I know you just wanted to protect me, afraid that I would get into trouble and get hurt."

Seele spoke sincerely and explained to Dark Seele that she was no longer the Seele who would only hide away. She just didn't want to have any regrets. She also knew that this matter was beyond her ability, so she was going to report it to Anti-Entropy and work together to solve it.

"Seele ..."
