"Mobius: Where'd This Little Temptress Come From... Wait, You're an Elder? I'm So Sorry!"

"You can't do it, you can't do it! Because you've chosen an utterly boring path of hypocrisy, a fool's path destined to have no end!"

The dolls' emotions surged, their tone accusing, interrogating, and questioning, yet they suddenly smiled, as if everything that had just happened was an act, and they were about to push the plot to its climax, eager to see the expression on Kiana's face.

Two dolls appeared behind Kiana, each putting a hand on her shoulder, their faces full of excited smiles.

"How about it? Looks familiar, doesn't it? Do you remember who was holding it? Do you know why she's here?"

Kiana's eyes held only shock, sadness, and... fear.

"Plague Gem..."

The camera gradually zooms out, Kiana stares blankly at the gem floating in the doll's palm. At that moment, all her strength seems to have been stripped away, disappearing completely.

"Yes, yes, just tell us your answer!"

"Murata Himeko is dead!"

The core light gradually dimmed, as if symbolizing Himeko's life.

Click.

A cracking sound came from the air. Yaqing looked around curiously, but didn't find anything broken. Then it dawned on her that... Elysia's heart was broken.

As a staunch Himeko of Himeko, the shock that Elysia experienced is unimaginable.

After a brief silence, the theater erupted in chaos.

The barrage of comments poured out like a tidal wave, even causing the streaming website to experience buffering.

They imagined Himeko would make a powerful comeback Herrscher of Flame!

They also imagined that Kiana one day find the severely injured Himeko through the power of the Void Herrscher.

But they never imagined that all they would see was a cold, hard gem.

They didn't even get to see Himeko again.

Murata Himeko is dead!

The puppet's final, triumphant, shrill laughter echoed in the ears of every audience member like a demonic sound.

"How... how could this be? How could the Plague Gem be in the hands of the Herrscher of the Thousand? No... impossible, absolutely impossible! Himeko won't die! Himeko won't die!"

Elysia shook her head frantically.

Even when presented with the evidence, Elysia remained unconvinced, unless the last glimmer of hope in her heart was extinguished.

"Mei, Himeko isn't dead, right? She'll come back, won't she?"

Elysia grabbed May's shoulder.

Mei looked at the two lines of tears on Elysia's face and felt a pang of heartache, but she couldn't tell a white lie, because if she comforted Elysia now, the hurt she would suffer later would be even greater.

"Elysia... if the Plague Gem has appeared, then Himeko is most likely..."

Mei couldn't bear to say it.

The Plague Gem, which even the World Serpent couldn't find, appeared in the hands of the Herrscher of Domination means that everything has already happened. I just hope that the writers retain a shred of humanity and don't let Himeko become one of the puppets.

"How... how could this be..."

Elysia limply lowered her arm.

Suddenly remembering Yaqing, it was as if hope had been rekindled.

"Yaqing, Himeko didn't die, right? Himeko will reappear later, right? Answer me!"

Yaqing was startled.

Elysia has never spoken to anyone in that voice.

Was he being persecuted too harshly by Elysia?

"Elysia, every person's birth is accompanied by death, we must..."

"I don't want to hear your lectures, I just want you to answer my question..."

Elysia's sobbing was truly heartbreaking.

It's pitiful.

Even Yaqing almost softened.

"Elysia, Himeko will definitely help Kiana out of this predicament."

Elysia's eyes reddened as she quietly looked at him.

Yaqing's heart softened at the sight, but thankfully, a sharp pain shot through his lower back, and Mobius's unfriendly gaze brought him back to reality.

Without any warning.

Pardo cried her eyes out.

Sakura was stunned, but what she didn't expect was that the story would end there.

It's... over?!

After completely stirring up the audience's emotions, the story actually ended.

Sakura cursed inwardly.

Grass!

Recalling Yaqing had told them that this week's episodes were very exciting and that everyone should make time to watch them together, it turned out to be this exciting?!

He's truly unafraid of being hacked to death.

The Murata Himeko is dead is enough to shatter the hearts of countless people.

But what pained them even more was the abrupt ending!

Meanwhile, in the house that Kiana and her friends were renting.

When Bronya heard the Herrscher of the Thousand say, "Murata Himeko is already dead," Bronya was stunned, Seele was also bewildered.

"Sister Bronya, Himeko- sensei... is she really dead?"

Seele's eyes were filled with tears.

Bronya herself didn't understand what was going on.

She looked at Mei and Kiana, hoping to guess something.

But their faces showed no emotion other than sadness.

Bronya asked, puzzled, "Mei, Kiana, do you know what happens next in the story?"

Kiana didn't reply; instead, she was lost in thought.

Mei nodded, forcing a smile.

"Bronya, I know what you want to ask, but I can only tell you that Himeko will reappear in next week's story, and it won't just be a flashback."

Upon hearing "next week, "Bronya realized that this week's episode had already ended.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

My inner curiosity was aroused.

I don't think I'll be able to have a peaceful week.

But when they heard that Himeko would be making another appearance, Bronya and Seele breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great! Seele knew Himeko wasn't dead, that's wonderful."

Seele wiped away her tears.

Dark Seele seized the opportunity to say, "Cry, cry, cry! What do you mean by dead or alive? When I storm into the theater with my scythe, I'll chop all these puppets to pieces!"

Seele could hear the concern in Dark Seele's words.

Bronya felt as if she was the only one who was sad, and perhaps her work this week would not be easy or smooth.

However, after the plot ended this week, there was a huge uproar online.

Some say Himeko is really dead, since even World Serpent couldn't find the Plague Gem, and now it's in the hands of a puppet.

Some say that Himeko did not die, but simply went missing, because the Plague Gem was not inside Himeko's body, but on her armor, and may have fallen off and been picked up by the doll.

Others say that Himeko was saved by Schicksal and is about to return as the Herrscher of Flame, and that the Plague Gem in the doll's hand was just something he created using the Herrscher Authority of Reason to deceive Kiana.

The Honkai forums are filled with debate.

It trended on social media almost that very night.

It occupied two-thirds of the top ten trending topics.

"Elysia, please don't follow me."

Yaqing looked helplessly at Elysia behind him.

Ever since yesterday's episode ended, Elysia has followed me wherever I go, like a little shadow.

Elysia remained silent.

Yaqing was helpless.

Mobius watched the scene unfold with amusement.

"Senior, you should do something about her."

Yaqing used one hand to support the absent-minded Elysia.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Mobius ate his breakfast, indifferent to the fact that it was none of his business.

"Yaqing, just tell Elysia, so she won't keep clinging to you every day."

Kevin joked.

Elysia is not someone who likes to spoil plot points.

But this storyline had a great impact on her.

So he stayed with Yaqing.

Yaqing was also helpless, after all, the major selling point that followed could not be easily revealed.

So he dialed the phone of a woman who was in Eastern Europe.

405

Chapter 405 Mobius: Where did this little slut come from... Elder? I'm so sorry.

Central Europe.

Yesterday's concert came to a perfect end. The glaring sunlight in the early morning was blocked out by the blackout curtains. The presidential suite, which overlooked the mountains, was extremely luxuriously decorated, with a soft, large bed. Eden, who had stayed up until the early hours of the morning, was still fast asleep.

"Ring ring ring ring..."

The cell phone suddenly rang in the quiet atmosphere.

Eden, who was in a light sleep, was awakened by the sound of a bell.

Her long, wine-red hair was messy, she had slight dark circles under her eyes, and her skin was a bit dry; she was clearly worn out by the world tour.

She stretched her fair and delicate arm out from under the covers, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and answered the call.

"Hello..."

Eden's voice was hoarse. Yesterday, the fans were too enthusiastic and he sang for too long, which made his throat a little sore and his tone was not good. He didn't fall asleep until midnight, and he was woken up by a phone call after only a few hours.

"Eden! Help needed!"

The moment the call connected, Yaqing's hurried words left Eden, who had just woken up and was looking completely bewildered, even more confused.

Help... emergency?

"What's wrong? Did you... make Mobius angry again?"

Eden asked curiously.

No, that's not it.

Yaqing's tone suddenly softened, "It's Elysia."
