Ignite the Flame of Tomorrow Premieres
Yaqing held a can of cola in one hand and threw an ice pop over with the other.
Su took it without any change in expression.
"I'm saying, is Elysia planning to hurt your sister?"
Kevin sneakily moved closer.
"You daughter!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Su retorted.
"Tch, I don't have a sister. Tsk tsk tsk, I thought I only had Yaqing as a niece-obsessed person, but I didn't expect there was another 'sister-obsessed' person hiding around."
"Get lost."
Kevin's words were met with laughter and scolding from Yaqing.
"You really didn't realize it was a misunderstanding?!"
Kevin was surprised.
He didn't expect that even he could see it, but Su hadn't. You have to understand that among the three of them, his grades were the lowest. He often failed courses and almost couldn't graduate.
"Huh?"
Su was stunned.
"If you ask me, concern makes people confused. Little Knowledge is really not lying. Never mind, you guys chat first, I'm going upstairs to take a shower."
Yaqing felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.
"Come on, let me tell you something. Mei and the others gave World Serpent a day off because you said today's plot was going to be amazing. If it's not good, you're dead meat."
"Hehe, not good-looking?"
Yaqing sneered, "Today, you're so skilled with a knife you don't even recognize your own underwear."
"If you don't like it, I can let you be the screenwriter."
"Cut."
397
Chapter 397, "Ignite the Flame of Tomorrow," is released.
Soon, with only one hour left before the next episode aired, the members of Golden Courtyard entered the Home Theater one after another, except for the Fu Sisters who had returned to Shenzhou and Eden was on a global tour.
"Sunflower seeds, drinks, popcorn~?"
Elysia is up to her old tricks again, dressed in a white silk maid outfit and pushing a small cart.
"Elysia, what are you up to now?"
Mobius had a strange expression.
"Professor Mobius, would you like some popcorn?"
Elysia's kind words of comfort seemed to completely oblivious to the meaning behind Mobius's words.
"Hey, give me some popcorn."
When Pardo saw this, she felt incredibly regretful, regretting that she hadn't thought of such a good idea.
Once the theater lights were completely off, Elysia casually placed the trolley somewhere in the theater, letting everyone take whatever they wanted from it. She quickly ran to a row and sat down obediently.
He sat between May and Blanca.
"Little sister Elysia..."
Griseo was sitting on the other side of Blanca, greeted her.
"Griseo so good."
Elysia smiled radiantly.
Blanca's expression seemed somewhat helpless.
Seeing the smile on Elysia's face, Yaqing naturally guessed that Elysia was very happy and joyful, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Mobius's expression became even stranger.
The images appeared on the big screen, and the theater immediately fell silent.
The story begins by continuing from last week's plot, with the puppets in the audience questioning the puppets on the judges' panel, but the puppets on the judges' panel continue to do as they please.
Each puppet was immersed in its own role, chattering away, and none of them listened to the plan that the puppets on the judges' table were to execute.
Some of the puppets felt that they had already seized the power of the Herrscher of Reason and should press their advantage, destroy Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, and then wage war against World Serpent.
Some of the puppets felt that they had not yet fully mastered the power of the Herrscher of Reason, and should continue to hide and ambush, cause some damage in society, develop stealthily, and not be reckless.
Because of their differing opinions, the puppets started fighting, while many others watched the spectacle. In the end, the puppet on the referee's stand gave the final decision with a gavel, and the puppets continued to develop stealthily.
Like a pyramid scheme, they were fanatical, arrogant, and disdainful.
"Meeting adjourned!"
This farcical meeting failed to convey any sense of oppression from the Herrscher of the Thousand as villains; instead, they seemed like a mob.
I originally thought the puppet on the referee's stand would be the leader, but it turns out it's just one of the thousands.
This wasn't an ambush; it was just that the puppets were at odds with each other and fighting amongst themselves, which led to all of this happening.
"Uh... I don't know why, but these puppets don't seem to have much of an oppressive presence compared to the other Herrscher. Even when the Herrscher of Wind first appeared, she was much more oppressive than them."
Kevin didn't know how to put it, only that it seemed these puppets didn't have much information about the World Serpent, otherwise they wouldn't have said they were going to war with it.
"Without a leader's voice, this group of puppets is like a pile of loose sand, which will scatter with the wind."
Mei said calmly.
"It can't be that simple, can it? If the puppets were really that easy to deal with, then there wouldn't be a need for two movies to tell the story of this Herrscher."
Vill-V objected, arguing that if the Herrscher of the Thousand were so easily eliminated, there would be no need for such extensive descriptions.
Moreover... Yaqing told them that this week's plot would be absolutely exciting. While it would be fun to watch Herrscher, the plot itself wouldn't be considered exciting.
"Eh! It's Mei ~?"
Elysia stared in surprise at Mei appearing on the screen.
As the puppet announced the end of the meeting, the camera panned to a tavern, where the audience was pleasantly surprised to find that Mei and Raven, who had not appeared for a long time, were on stage.
Since the Herrscher of Ice, so much time has passed, and viewers miss Mei terribly, especially wanting to see Mei and Kiana reunite. After all, such a dramatic domestic violence incident shouldn't end without a sequel.
After joining World Serpent, Mei became increasingly accustomed to contacting Gray Serpent with Raven, reporting on the investigations of the two recent incidents, and finding no trace related to the Herrscher.
Raven presented his findings, and Gray Serpent instructed him to continue the investigation. He then turned to Mei and inquired about her discoveries. Mei replied that it was nothing special, just a company using the name of World Serpent.
After Gray Serpent hung up, the atmosphere immediately became quiet. Raven tried to start a conversation, but was choked by Mei's aloof response. Looking at the glass of water that Raven handed her, she couldn't help but recall the mission she had just carried out.
During her mission, she discovered a kidnapped young boy on a containment ship. Notably, the boy possessed a Stigmata. She preserved his presence and gave him an address.
Seeing that Mei was still as gentle as before, the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since they saw Mei and her Herrscher Persona merge into one, and then join the obsessed World Serpent organization, they were really worried that Mei would turn evil one day.
Seeing that Mei's cold exterior still concealed a gentle heart, Elysia's worries finally subsided.
"That's great, I knew Mei would still be as gentle as ever."
Elysia smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"If World Serpent is also investigating the Herrscher of the Thousand, then Kiana and Mei will soon meet."
Sakura gasped.
Besides Himeko, what viewers are most looking forward to right now is the reunion of Mei and Kiana. After the domestic violence incident, what expressions will they have on their faces when they meet again? And what will their mental state be like?
Sakura thought that Qiya's reunion might be the exciting plot that Yaqing had mentioned.
After the Final Lesson, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya never appeared together again.
Only then did they realize that what they found boring was perhaps the happiest time for the Trio. They inexplicably sensed a hidden blade flying back.
"This child..."
Vill-V frowned and thought carefully.
"It looks familiar, it has Stigmata, and it has the address Mei gave me, could it be..."
What address can Mei provide?
It's not the World Serpent, nor can it be Schicksal or Anti-Entropy, so there's only one possibility: St. Freya Academy. Coincidentally, eight years later, St. Freya Academy has a unique male student.
Adam!
Vill-V could guess it, and many viewers also realized it.
"Wow, no wonder Adam was fighting so hard. It turns out Mei saved him. Without Mei, he would have been just another insignificant experimental subject on the Jackal's operating table."
"The path to salvation lies within it."
"You saved me 8 years ago, and I saved you 8 years later. Tsk tsk tsk, how romantic~"
["The Kiana has something to say!"]
While the audience was discussing the plot with their own comments, the story progressed, Raven had already teased Mei, using milk to take care of this minor.
The two then started chatting, with Raven asking Mei to rate the tavern, which sparked a conversation about her past.
She was indeed brought back to the World Serpent by the Gray Serpent when she was young, but she also withdrew halfway through, saying that she felt she did not belong here. The Gray Serpent readily agreed and left her with the words, "You will come back."
After leaving World Serpent, she opened this tavern and learned a lot from the people in the gray industry who came and went, discovering that the outside world was just as bad as the inside of World Serpent.
So she went back to World Serpent. After all, World Serpent offered the most and the most stable income. What difference does it make where you make money? Why should anyone turn down money?
"Now that you've made enough money, why don't you quit World Serpent and come back here to continue running the tavern?"
After hearing about Raven's past experiences, Mei tried to persuade her.
Raven just chuckled and shook his head, acknowledging that Mei was right, but some things were simply beyond their control.
"We all joined the World Serpent for some reason, and none of us are able to leave for some reason, are we?"
"Raven said softly."
Things don't always go in the "right" direction, and we may not always be on the "right" path. But what does it matter whether it's right or wrong? Since we've made the choice, let's keep going.
"Perhaps."
Mei remained noncommittal.
"But even so, I still want to believe in other possibilities, and I want to believe that there is a happy ending."
After listening, Raven brought up Tai Xu Mountain again, saying that Kiana had successfully defeated the Herrscher and saved her companions.
She couldn't help but sigh. Originally, Yu Tu was in charge of this matter, but by the time she finally arrived at the scene, it was too late; the Herrscher had already disappeared.
Raven didn't want to criticize Yuto, but only said that Kiana performed exceptionally well and Mei's efforts had paid off.
Mei picked up the cup, looked at the milk inside, but didn't drink it.
"I suppose this is what you mean by 'other possibilities.' There's still a long way to go."
Mei drank it all in one Mei.
The harmonious atmosphere between Mei and Raven made Elysia feel a great sense of crisis. It wasn't because she had any special feelings for Mei, but because she was a fan of the Mei-Qi pairing and rejected any cuckolding behavior.
The world rejects Cuckolds!
Elysia rejects the minotaur!
What Elysia didn't expect was that the biggest minotaur among the Qiya wasn't Raven, but herself.
"Is Raven trying to... clear her name?"
Ling scratched her head.
"Strictly speaking, the Raven isn't actually a villain, is it?"
Sakura said.
Raven's hatred for Kiana upon her debut is understandable. After all, as a survivor of the second Honkai, in her eyes, Kiana is a reincarnation of the Void Herrscher who destroyed the island she had saved up to buy.
With new grudges and old hatreds combined, it's not just a matter of wanting to kill Kiana, but also to grind her to ashes.
