"I don't know either, it should be coming out soon."

Mei doesn't know yet, but even if she doesn't have a chance to appear now, she will have quite a lot of screen time later in the story.

Chapter 388 Completely Dark Seele, Complete Seele, Completely...

Drawn by the sound of the explosion, Seele finds Bronya and, after learning about the current situation, the two support each other as they try to find the exit from the Theater of Domination.

During their exploration, they encountered dolls, but strangely, the dolls did not attack them. Instead, they were full of complaints, lamenting the suffering they had endured in the real world.

"Why? Why? Why? Why do we have to change it again? How many versions are there now?"

"What do you mean by 'bigger while being smaller'? What do you mean by 'colorful black'? Here's the pen, can you draw it yourself?"

"Enough, I give up. I have no talent whatsoever. I'm not in any post-production department. I shouldn't have been born. My life is a joke, a complete and utter joke."

Seeing the puppet talking to herself like a madwoman, even though she was saying something very tragic, the audience couldn't help but laugh.

"What is this? Is it some kind of personal agenda? I can tell what the current staff of Schicksal are thinking. It's hilarious. That scene with the multicolored black and the dazzling white in the last movie really drove people crazy."

["Hahaha, this isn't a puppet, it's clearly a post-production crew member!"]

Upon hearing the words "post-production department," Shub finally remembered why the doll's voice sounded so familiar; its mental state was exactly the same as Cheng Lixue's back then.

The post-production team, responsible for special effects, was driven almost to madness by Yaqing's strange demands.

"Lixue, you..."

Shub's tone faltered.

Because she saw the expression on Cheng Lixue's face.

It looks exactly like a doll from an anime.

It sent a chill down her spine.

If she didn't know that there really is no Honkai in real life, she would have doubted whether Cheng Lixue, who was full of resentment, had really become one of the Herrscher of the Thousand.

"Me? I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine."

Cheng Lixue smiled.

Shub moved a few steps away.

The three dolls represent friends, work, and family, but each one is breeding despair. Seele couldn't see clearly anymore, so Bronya quickly explained.

The doll is not a normal person, but a doll that has stolen human emotions, like an infinitely amplified negative emotions in one's heart, thus going to extremes.

After going around in circles, the two returned to where they started. The number of puppets increased, and their chatter was as annoying as a noisy cacophony of crows.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the dolls treated the Authority of Reason they had seized from Bronya as brand new toys, constantly constructing small items and having a great time.

What's even more infuriating is that Bronya bears the cost of the puppet's use of power.

Bronya watched helplessly as her powers were treated like toys, but she felt no other emotions. She forced herself to stay calm, searched for a way out, and sent the information out.

If the Herrscher of the Void's powers are also taken away, then the situation will be terrible, but right now, it's just wishful thinking for her and Seele to defeat all the puppet individuals and reclaim the Herrscher of Authority of Reason.

Bronya remembered Walter Yang's teachings: the true power of the Herrscher of Reason lies in insight and analysis, in seeing the essence of events. Therefore, she tried using Project Bunny to calculate the location of the rift's opening, leaving Seele to provide cover.

"Oh, I see."

"Vill-V sighed."

"What? What? What did you find out, Vill-V?"

Elysia quickly came over, and Sakura and Pardo also looked over.

"Dolls are the embodiment of all negative human emotions: family, work, friends, jealousy, anger, hatred. From the moment they are born, they hate this world and all beautiful things. I think I've figured it out. Elysia, keep reading, there might be some things that will make you even angrier later."

Vill-V seemed to be implying something.

Elysia didn't understand.

It's common knowledge that the Herrscher of Domination's words can be so infuriating that they can cause one's blood pressure to spike. So why is Vill-V making a point of emphasizing it again?

Elysia didn't think Vill-V would speak without reason; she must have guessed something. So, the Miss Pink Elf quickly grabbed Vill-V's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Vill-V, my Vill-V, just tell me~, so that I can be mentally prepared."

Vill-V shook her head without any pause or hesitation.

"But that way, I won't be able to bring you any 'surprise'."

Therefore, as a screenwriter, what Yaqing hates most is watching dramas with highly intelligent people.

Bronya quickly found an unstable weak point, and if she focused her attack, she might be able to leave the Theater of Domination. Before Bronya and Seele could be happy for long...

The puppets, who had just been spouting nonsense and telling the two to stay in the theater as puppets, were enraged to see themselves so quickly proven wrong and launched a fierce attack.

The attacks were fierce, the monsters seemed endless, which only confirmed Bronya's judgment. It was precisely because of that weak point that the doll was so afraid.

But at that moment, Seele cried out in alarm. Bronya then realized that her hands had been corrupted by the Theater of Domination and that she had to leave as soon as possible, or Seele would also be affected.

By the time they reached the weak point, the doll had completely descended into a frenzied rage. Bronya decided to hold them off herself and let Seele attack the weak point.

No matter how Seele attacked, there was no reaction.

Anxious, Seele hurriedly asked Dark Seele how she escaped last time. Dark Seele shrugged and said that the doll hadn't been on guard against her last time, which allowed her to easily open the exit.

But this time, the doll was determined to lock them inside the theater, and even with the power of the Twins, Dark Seele wasn't sure she could open the exit.

Seele keenly sensed that she couldn't control all the power in her body, while Dark Seele could. If there was any chance to break through, it was definitely in Dark Seele's hands.

She personally admitted her shortcomings.

"Please, my other self"

The progress bar has already gone more than halfway, which also means that this week's episodes are about to end.

However, the audience didn't notice the progress bar at all; their attention was now focused on Seele. The atmosphere gradually became tense, making them realize that the upcoming plot might be Dark Seele's highlight moment.

As expected, just as the screen went black, two white blades flashed by. Seele slightly raised her eyes, which flashed with a dazzling red light. Although nothing seemed to have changed, her aura seemed to have undergone a tremendous transformation.

The scene shifts to the inner world.

Next to the red chair, a blue chair appeared, and Seele and Dark Seele sat side by side, one in a docile posture and the other in an arrogant one.

Dark Seele was completely taken aback when Seele suddenly gave herself to him.

Seele decided to hand over full control of her body to the other party, sinking into the deepest part of her consciousness. In this way, Dark Seele was free from burdens and could unleash her power to the fullest.

"Hey, Seele, do you know what you're saying?"

Dark Seele propped her head up with her hands and closed her eyes tightly.

She told Seele everything that could happen, including that if she didn't awaken Seele from the depths of her consciousness, Seele might never wake up again. She thought her words would frighten Seele.

To her surprise, what she perceived as intimidation was met with a resounding response from Seele, who answered without hesitation with a sweet smile and simply said, "I believe in you," which was enough to break down Dark Seele's defenses.

"It's just a Daoist gate, right? I'll open it for you. If there's no gate, I'll smash one down myself!"

Immediately afterwards, Seele called out to Dark Seele and asked her what name she liked. Dark Seele fell into a brief silence and finally gave the name "Seele".

"I just felt that since we're already sharing a body, it wouldn't be bad to share a name too. I didn't mean anything else."

Dark Seele remained stubborn.

Seele's answer was so compelling that even the audience couldn't resist it, let alone those who Dark Seele. She truly deserves to be called a little angel.

Dark Seele's stubbornness and Seele's gentleness made the audience involuntarily smile like doting aunts.

It's fair to say that this week's plot was full of ups and downs, but the sweetness really helped them get out of the sadness of the Day the Stars and You Vanished, making them feel that this was the screenwriter's compensation to them.

Elysia's eyes were curved in a smile.

For some reason, she saw a resemblance to Mobius in Dark Seele.

Perhaps all stubborn people are alike.

Hatch!

While Mobius was at the amusement park with Griseo, he suddenly sneezed.

"Grandma Mobius, do you have a cold?"

Griseo asked with concern.

"It's alright, little Griseo. And remember to call me 'big sister'."

Seeing Griseo's concern, Mobius smiled, gently rubbed Griseo's cheek, and emphasized it again.

Little Griseo looked puzzled again.

"Then it's up to you, [Seele]."

"Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes. Leave it to me, [Seele]."

In the middle of the seats, on the table, there is a black and white symmetrical scale. A black butterfly flutters its wings and flies from the white side to the black side, and the scale gradually tilts towards the black side as the butterfly moves.

Seele closed her eyes, Stigmata on her chest burst forth with dazzling light.

"Please, Seele."

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you. Leave it to me, Seele."

In the pure white inner space, the black and white floor is broken. Dark Seele touches Seele's pretty face. The distance between the two is less than a foot, which seems very ambiguous.

The pure white petals were instantly stained red with blood, and the originally vibrant Abyss Flower turned into a black abyss representing slaughter. Accompanied by stirring background music, the scarlet petals swept across the scene.

Amidst several crimson claws, Dark Seele, with her long hair, emerged, her eyes filled with arrogance, her smile bloodthirsty, as if she craved slaughter, and seemed to disdain the puppet before her.

"Come on, let's play! Hehehe, but don't get hurt!"

Unsurprisingly, Dark Seele's appearance was absolutely stunning. Her brand-new model and captivating charm made people want to be her dog, especially her arrogant eyes, which left everyone mesmerized.

It has a strong visual impact, making people wonder who the villain really is.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought the writers were going to torment Dark Seele, but I didn't expect such a cool appearance at the end."

Sakura clicked her tongue in amazement.

Dark Seele has always given the audience the impression of being arrogant and stubborn, but now she is showing a completely new attitude, which makes them feel a kind of inexplicable Yandere, a Yandere who can't stand not killing.

"With that kind of attitude, it would be a shame not to smash those foul-mouthed puppets to pieces. Let's teach them a lesson!"

Pardo trembled with excitement, clutching the Canned Food of food tightly in her arms.

The Canned Food meowed in dissatisfaction.

"Why?!"

While the viewers in the live stream were flooding the screen with crazy comments about Dark Seele, Elysia let out a puzzled "hey".

"Elysia, what's wrong?"

Vill-V thought that Elysia had discovered something that she hadn't.

In response to Vill-V's question, Elysia paused the plot playback and pointed to the chest of Dark Seele's newly modeled chest.

"Don't you guys think so? They're clearly in the same body, but why does Dark Seele seem two sizes bigger than Seele?"

"Ah?"

Pardo blushed.

Sakura's face also flushed slightly.

They couldn't understand Elysia's perspective. While all the viewers were amazed by Dark Seele's appearance, Elysia was actually paying attention to the figure of the other's new model.

"Well..."

Vill-V was speechless.

However, the viewers in the live stream strongly agreed with Elysia.

"I'm Miss Dark Seele's dog!"

"With this kind of aura, who exactly is the villain?!"

"Fine, let those foul-mouthed dolls know what the price of foul mouth is! I'll say it again, I'm Miss Dark Seele's dog!"

The comments in the live stream gradually veered towards madness.
