When Pardo's Elysia, who was applying the stickers, heard this, she stopped what she was doing.

"Uh... Vill-V, don't be so extreme. After all, she's an employee of Anti-Entropy, not an ordinary person. She may have been involved in the investigation."

Sakura stepped in to smooth things over.

"I hope so..."

Vill-V remained silent.

However, even though Elysia and Pardo were just overjoyed, a hint of doubt arose in their hearts, leaving them feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears.

There's actually one more point that Vill-V didn't mention.

In order not to affect Elysia and Pardo's mood.

The subtitle color is different for each person.

The staff member's subtitles were yellow, the same color as the mascot's subtitles.

Back in her room, Seele wanted to chat with Dark Seele, but the mention of Bronya caused an awkward silence. So the gentle little angel tried hard to find a topic, but every word she said inexplicably hit Dark Seele's sore spots.

She made many new friends, gradually overcame her weaknesses, and went to coffee shops with Kiana, etc. Although Seele didn't mean it that way, these words were particularly grating to Dark Seele's ears.

Every sentence could be misinterpreted as meaning that Dark Seele is no longer needed.

As expected, Dark Seele unleashed her power.

"Kiana, Kiana, Kiana, is that all you can call her by?!"

Dark Seele was angry and resentful, venting her grievances on Seele's bewildered expression.

"First it was Sister Bronya, and before that it was Mother Cocolia. Can't you live without someone else?!"

"But I just..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to be independent and self-reliant? Didn't you say you no longer needed anyone else? Then why are you calling their names over and over again!"

"The other me, I don't quite understand what you're talking about..."

Seele was stunned by Dark Seele's sudden outburst.

"Enough, enough, enough! Do whatever you want!"

After saying this, Dark Seele disappeared. Seele didn't understand what had happened. At her call, Dark Seele in her inner space was pressing her head against the armrest of the chair.

"Name..."

"The guys in the theater, maybe..."

Hearing Dark Seele's final inner monologue, their hearts skipped a beat; the plot twist they least wanted to see was unfolding before their eyes.

Seele and Dark Seele have fallen out?!

Even if they believed in Seele's ability to coax people, it seems that Seele has no idea why the problem occurred, so how can she talk about coaxing her?

"Oh no, Seele really going to follow in Hua's footsteps?!"

Pardo panicked.

"What angers Dark Seele is that Seele said she wanted to be independent and refused her help. Now she keeps talking about other people, making Black Seele feel less and less important. In Seele's heart, she is slowly being replaced by others."

Sakura sees things further than anyone else in these matters.

"Seele clearly didn't realize this, so... the enemy's plan succeeded."

Sakura's tone was harsh; seeing this part of the story made her even more disgusted with the Herrscher of Domination.

Dark Seele suddenly recalled what the puppet in the Theater of Domination had said to her. Every word was sharp and piercing, seemingly trying to completely drive a wedge between her and Seele.

Viewers will also notice that Seele's lettering gradually fades from scarlet to a light orange-yellow, matching the color of the puppet's subtitles.

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

The audience immediately erupted in cheers.

"Damn! What does this mean?! Has Dark Seele been persuaded by this puppet? Or is she being assimilated?!"

"No way! The plot was so sweet at the beginning, and then you suddenly turn it into a war? Is the screenwriter even human?!"

"I'll fuck you, screenwriter Feng!"

"Idiot! Whitehead! Big dick! No big dick, no big dick, no big dick!!!"

The barrage of comments was like dynamite ignited by a spark, with prohibited words being posted one after another.

Not only were the viewers in the live stream getting anxious, but Pardo was also getting anxious.

"Dark Seele and Seele aren't really going to follow in Hua and Little Knowledge's footsteps, are they? No way!"

Pardo looked up to the sky and let out a long howl.

This kind of separation plot is exactly what she hates to see the most.

"Sister Elysia, say something!"

Pardo noticed that Elysia, who had been worried that Seele and Dark Seele's relationship would repeat the same mistakes, remained silent.

"Me? It suddenly dawned on me that we'd fallen into a trap set by the screenwriter."

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Vill-V smiled, clearly having already figured it out.

"Ah?"

Pardo looked completely bewildered.

Sakura's gaze also turned towards them.

The viewers in the live stream were even more confused, and the chat was filled with questions.

"Sister Elysia, what do you mean we've fallen into the screenwriter's trap?"

Pardo asked in confusion.

Elysia kindly explained.

"Perhaps it's because of the lessons learned from Hua and Little Knowledge that we're afraid Seele and Dark Seele will repeat the same mistakes, plus the Herrscher of Herrscher of Domination..."

Elysia didn't want to bring up the Herrscher of Domination's foul language.

"But we overlooked the fact that Seele and Dark Seele supported and comforted each other in the Sea of Quanta. Their relationship is completely different from the strained relationship between Fu Hua and Little Knowledge."

Elysia took a sip of water and continued, "I still believe that Seele and Dark Seele will clear up the misunderstanding."

Even Yaqing didn't expect that the breakdown he wanted to see would be resolved by Elysia, who firmly believed in the relationship between Seele and Dark Seele, which was quite rare.

So far, most viewers have been speculating that Seele and Dark Seele will also go their separate ways, or even split up, becoming two different individuals.

Renting a house.

Seele was stunned by what she saw.

"My other self, I'm sorry..."

"Ha?!"

Dark Seele's tone was unpleasant. "You actually apologized to me for a plot that Yaqing wrote casually?! I have to say, you're really adorably naive."

"This has nothing to do with the plot that Brother Yaqing wrote. I just feel that I have neglected your feelings before, so I apologized. I'm sorry, my other self. If I do anything wrong in the future, please tell me and don't keep it to yourself."

Seele's thoughts reached Dark Seele's ears.

Sincerity, without a trace of falsehood.

"Unnecessary! Got it."

"Um!"

Seele dreamt that in the Sea of Quanta, Dark Seele took care of her. Although he scolded her, he was always concerned about her. When she woke up, she had indeed overslept and quickly got up.

During her daily training sessions, Seele always enjoyed sharing with Dark Seele, but today, no matter how she called out to her, Dark Seele ignored her.

A whole day.

Dark Seele did not respond.

That's how little girls who are being difficult are.

If it weren't for the fact that Seele can sense the presence of Dark Seele, viewers would have suspected that Dark Seele had already left Seele's body and gone to Theater of Domination.

[At night, Seele tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She sighed. She was used to Dark Seele nagging in her ear, and the sudden silence felt strange.]

"My other self, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

"I know you're doing this for my own good. You're always by my side, protecting me."

"You always want to fight for me because you're worried I'll get hurt. But I'm worried you'll get hurt too."

Seele's exceptionally sincere tone, enhanced by lyrical background music, struck a chord deep within Dark Seele's heart.

"You are irreplaceable and important to me, and I want to become strong enough to protect you. You don't want me to have too much contact with others because you don't want me to get hurt or be deceived."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid, because I still have you."

"You always tell me to take better care of myself, but when I think about 'myself,' you're included too."

Seele's gentle voice, like a babbling brook, soothed the audience's anger towards the Herrscher of Domination and their frustration with reality. It's easy to imagine the immeasurable emotion this brought to Dark Seele.

At the same time, it also made Yaqing feel incredulous.

It's amazing that Dark Seele could produce such a voice.

"Didn't you ask me before what kind of being you are?"

"I thought about it seriously for a long time, and sure enough, there is only one answer."

"You are me, and I am you. We are equals. You want me to be happy, and I want you to be happy too."

"You care a lot about names, don't you? I'd like to call you by your name too. If you have a name you like, please tell me."

"I want to know how you feel..."

A decisive, utterly decisive kill.

Under Seele's gentle offensive, no matter how much the Herrscher of Domination tried to sow discord, they could not shake Dark Seele's will.

"Great!"

Pardo waved her hands excitedly, relieved.

Seele has once again proven with her actions that she is not Fu Hua from the previous storyline, but a girl who has spent several years in the Sea of Quanta, with a gentle personality that is enough to win over the audience.

The unease and worry that followed the appearance of the Herrscher of Domination vanished at this moment.

"If Seele also went to Tai Xu Mountain..."

Sakura sighed.

If you simply replace Bronya with Seele from the previous storyline, the plot development will definitely be very different.

It is the sincerity that touches people's hearts the most.

"Sister Elysia, it's exactly the same as your analysis!"

Pardo excitedly shook Elysia's arm.

"That's right!"

Miss Fairy is proud.

"We should tag Mei and Kiana here, and we should also Hua."

Vill-V made a joke.

Mei and Kiana were worried about each other, but didn't know how to express it, not to mention Fu Hua.

[In one scene, Dark Seele in the inner space did not change her posture. Although she did not respond at all, Seele's words still reached her ears one by one.]

"What is that idiot saying? Does she really think she can win me over with something like that?"

"Say whatever you want, I've decided to mind my own business."

"Still going? It's rare to see someone talk so much."

The swaying of the scales on the table seemed to indicate that Dark Seele's heart had been swayed.
