The Dolls' Endless Repetition and Sirin's Return (Continued)

In his view, even if the puppets used several lives to stop him, he would not hesitate to deal with them personally. Every minute he delayed would cause Kiana and the ordinary people outside to suffer more harm.

Minority and majority.

It's always been a agonizing choice.

"These dolls are still so annoying!"

The Kitty was furious.

Watching Bronya and Fu Hua on the screen, forced to defend themselves and constantly provoked by the puppets with their irritating tone and ear-piercing laughter, even the timid Pardo wanted to punch her hard.

While everyone was furious about the doll's trickery, Yaqing suddenly couldn't help but smile.

"Why are you laughing?"

Mobius wasn't angered by the puppet's actions, but he was puzzled by Yaqing's laughter.

"When Fu Hua said it had been a long time since we fought back-to-back, and both of them were on equal footing, wasn't that exactly what back-to-back fighting was like?"

Yaqing explained in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Mobius couldn't help but laugh and playfully slapped Yaqing.

Fortunately, Fu Hua didn't hear this, otherwise she would have been depressed for a long time. After all, Bronya has "grown up," but Fu Hua can only use one idiom to describe it. "Just like before."

The audience was furious.

They were truly furious.

Before they could even feel their anger, the next moment the camera focused on the scene they had been waiting for all week, unable to eat or sleep, their minds filled with the doll's inexplicable words. "Murata Himeko is dead!"

Kiana stared blankly at the Plague Gem floating in the doll's palm, her pupils shrinking slightly.

"—Himeko Murata Himeko is dead!"

The puppet's tone of voice made many viewers so angry that they broke down.

The doll kept repeating in Kiana's ear that Murata Himeko was dead. Kiana closed her eyes and fell silent.

"No reaction at all? Hey, you're so cold-blooded!"

The doll was immediately displeased when it saw Kiana close her eyes; it definitely didn't want to see such a bland reaction.

"So, what do you imagine I should be like?"

Kiana opened her eyes, her stunned expression returning to calm, but a deep rage was hidden in her heterochromatic pupils. The way she looked at the doll made it seem like she would draw her knife and kill someone at any moment.

"Kneeling and wailing, collapsing to the ground and repeatedly crying out, 'This can't be real!' Or falling into madness, mental derangement, desperately hurting oneself to fill the void of self-blame?"

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."

Kiana said firmly.

The doll was completely bewildered by Kiana's answer, which was entirely different from what they had expected. So it activated the power of the Plague Gem to launch an attack on Kiana, while constantly bringing up Himeko's situation in an attempt to break Kiana's defenses.

"Hahaha, don't run away, don't hide! This is the power your beloved teacher used!"

"Did you know? When we found it, this gem was drifting alone in the Imaginary Space."

"How strange, shouldn't it be embedded in the Vermilion Knight Armor? Shouldn't it be worn by her? Where is the person who was with it?"

"Who knows? Hahahaha! Actually, you've always known that she died long ago that day! You killed her with your own hands!"

"But even without that battle, she would have been terminally ill long ago and didn't have much time left!"

"She is just a mortal, it's impossible for her to escape the Imaginary Space, she can't even maintain her own existence."

Every word the doll uttered was like a dagger to Kiana's lungs.

Every word and phrase means that you were the one who caused Himeko's mutilated body!

The audience who witnessed this scene couldn't help but clench their fists, their chests heaving with anger, their faces turning bright red—not a blush of embarrassment, but a deep, warm red.

"Click".

It sounded like something breaking.

Sakura stared in astonishment as Kalpas's hand gripped the armrest of the seat, leaving a crack on it.

She was angry, but not to this extent.

Moreover, is this something that humans can do?

"I (* Flame-Chasers's swear words*)!"

The irritable Kalpas couldn't help but utter profanities.

Himeko's Final Lesson left a deep impression on him; he recognized her as a teacher and he also recognized her salvation.

So now I wish I could tear the doll's mouth apart.

Very few characters can be universally disliked by the vast majority of viewers.

The Herrscher of Domination is one of them.

"These puppets deserve to die!"

Kevin was furious.

He really wants his character in the story to use the Judgement of Shamash to kill all one of those thousand puppets.

"As expected of human negative emotions, they really know how to break a person's defenses."

Mei's face turned dark.

It's easy to imagine that these puppets angered even the rational Mei.

Yaqing was a little curious: if "Kevin" knew that Mei had been angered by the Herrscher of the Thousand, would he personally intervene?

This is something I'm curious about, but I can't know the answer.

The audience was enraged, but Kiana did not. She seized the opportunity to shoot the doll, walked over and picked up the Plague Gem from the ground, turned slightly to the side, and looked at the doll lying on the ground with her golden eyes.

His tone was calm and indifferent.

"I don't know what kind of reaction you're hoping to see, but I know what Himeko- sensei wants me to do."

"COOL!"

Kevin, who had just been furious, suddenly brightened up, and his anger vanished instantly.

Kiana's growth is remarkable. She has proven to the audience with her actions that she is now a reliable warrior who will not be broken by the enemy's words.

Even when the doll presents Himeko's death evidence to her, Kiana remains calm, analyzes the situation, seizes the opportunity, and eliminates the enemy.

Compared to Kiana, the Herrscher of the Thousand is made to look more like a clown.

"Kiana is so cool!"

A smile spread across Elysia's face.

"Really."

Vill-V nodded; there was one thing she couldn't understand.

"However, has the screenwriter changed the formula? The Herrscher of the Thousand was first brutally killed by Mei, and then made to look like a clown by Kiana. Is this not a feel-good drama?"

Vill-V didn't think that a Honkai written screenwriter would be so superficial.

Whether it's Welt, Yaqing, or Otto, their plays are all filled with one word: tragedy.

Vill-V looked at Yaqing.

Yaqing also noticed Vill-V's gaze and tilted her head in confusion.

Vill-V silently analyzed the situation in her mind.

Judging from Yaqing's initial actions, this week's plot is sure to have some big surprises, but given Yaqing's personality, it's clearly not going in a good direction.

Then there's only one possibility: a knife, a very strong knife, a large knife.

Vill-V clung to a sliver of hope.

After all, last week was just a prelude.

"Vill-V, don't overthink it. What if the screenwriter really has changed his mind, or what if Yaqing thinks that a feel-good drama can make more money and has more selling points, so this is his first time trying it?"

The naive Elysia never learns from her mistakes.

Impossible.

"Vill-V thought to herself."

She could see that Yaqing valued the Honkai anime as much as she valued researching crops. At the same time, it made her wonder if Yaqing was really like her, then she would never hand over the script to someone else to write.

Vill-V smiled.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Just when the audience thought Kiana had won with the Plague Gem, the doll, who had been looking unconvinced, suddenly laughed. Then, Kiana painfully covered one eye.

The doll's shrill laughter rang out.

They were inviting another guest from beginning to end.

"Although you talk a lot and act tough, you can't fool yourself."

"The moment we took out that gem, your heart, your soul, truly wept."

"Of course she wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, would she?"

"Now, let's welcome our next performer, the Herrscher of the Void — Sirin!"

Kiana released the hand that was covering her eyes and stared in astonishment at her arm, which was now adorned with the Herrscher's Feather Armor. Then, her sky-blue eyes were gradually replaced by gold.

"This is... the Herrscher of the Void!"

The next second, a completely different voice came from her throat.

"You got it right."

Kiana, in her aerial queen form, smiled.

That was an expression Kiana would never show.

When Sirin appeared, the audience was stunned.

They initially thought Kiana was able to obtain the Plague Gem because of her composure and seizing the opportunity, but they never expected it to be exactly what the doll had anticipated.

The plan of the Herrscher of the Thousand succeeded. They used Himeko's death to shake Kiana's heart, thus allowing Kiana to seize the Plague Gem and revive the Queen of Void with the energy of the Herrscher of Flamescion Core.

Although Kiana did not reveal a single flaw to the enemy, her heart was already breaking. If she could remain indifferent to Himeko's death, she would not be Kiana.

Therefore, the plan of the Herrscher of the Thousand was destined to succeed.

"I'm really angry! These puppets deserve to die! They did this to Kiana again, and with the Plague Gem no less! It's just... just..."

Pardo was furious.

However, her limited vocabulary prevented her from uttering the insults.

"Born."

Sakura reminded me.

"Yes, birth! A truly momentous birth!"

The doll did exactly the same things as Otto.

Insert a Herrscher Core to awaken Sirin's consciousness.

How similar our fates are!

Last time, it was a respectable teacher who sacrificed his life to awaken Kiana's consciousness.

So what about this time?

Who will awaken Kiana's consciousness?

"No... it can't be Mei it?"

Elysia said in disbelief.

From the very beginning of this week's episodes, Mei's screen time has been almost the same as Kiana's, which is extremely unusual, especially since Mei forcibly entered the Theater of Domination, which can be considered foreshadowing.

"No, it can't be Mei."

May denied this claim.
