Yaqing then began to explain.

"Hahahaha... ha, the Black Box was sealed by Mei, and what's sealed inside is... the consciousness of Ling."

Yaqing laughed so hard she almost fell over, and could barely speak.

After hearing Yaqing's explanation and recalling what Kevin had just said, Fu Hua, Little Knowledge, and Pardo Duo also laughed.

Kevin actually asked what was going through May's mind?

What a huge laugh!

Unlike the group of people who were laughing and having a good time, Kevin felt like the sky had fallen. Luckily, no one was recording the conversation, otherwise he would have had a very difficult time tonight.

Having been Honkai by Honkai and transformed into Honkai Beasts, Eleanor launched an attack on Kallen without hesitation, each move aimed at killing her, seemingly genuinely intending to take Kallen's life.

Kallen dodged and weaved, using chains to lock the spider-leg-like blades, and kicked Eleanor away.

Eleanor shot out something resembling spider silk from her five fingers, and then gathered terrifying power in her chest, unleashing a purplish-red beam of light with a boom.

Kallen quickly dodged to the side, Eleanor seized the opportunity to approach, raising the sharp blade in her hand, about to stab Kallen in the throat. But at that moment, Kallen had already wrapped the chains around Eleanor, tightly controlling her.

After controlling Eleanor, Kallen looked at Otto, picked up the Black Box, and told Otto that the Black Box contained the consciousness of the Honkai, and that unlocking it would not fight the Honkai, but would only increase casualties.

Eleanor, bound by chains, kept calling out "Lord Otto," her mind filled with only one thought: to kill Kallen for Lord Otto's sake. A terrifying power was gathering around her chest.

"Kallen!"

Upon seeing this, Otto rushed towards Kallen.

The short distance felt like an insurmountable gap to him.

At this time, the Void Archives appeared again to bewitch Otto.

"You're just throwing your life away by rushing in like that. Are you really going to watch your loved ones die?"

Void Archives's hand rested on the back of Otto's hand that was reaching for Kallen.

Now you have only one choice: use my power.

Mimicry: Judgment of Shamash.

A golden pistol suddenly appeared in Otto's hand, its muzzle pointed at Eleanor was gathering her power.

"That's more like it."

Kalpas nodded.

Viewers in the live stream recalled that Kalpas was not like this just now. He kept angrily criticizing Otto and hid behind the woman. Now that he saw Otto take action, he gave him the "highest rating".

"Otto may have been bad, but he was never ugly."

"Brother Jie, you weren't like this just now. [A piece of trash hiding behind a woman, a trembling scumbag], this is what Brother Jie would say."

["Could Void Archives also want to possess Otto's body? If that's the case, then he waited for over five hundred years to finally have Otto's Honkai Steel Body in the Post-Honkai Odyssey."]

"In other words, the Void Archives was exploited by Otto for over five hundred years and couldn't retaliate at all. It only gained a physical body after Otto died. Thinking about it that way, it's quite pitiful."

There are only two scenarios in Miss Pink Elf's live stream: it will be packed with viewers.

The first type is when Miss Pink Elf is personally hosting the live stream, and the second type is when Kalpas Tribulations is hosting on her behalf.

This is also what Yaqing and the others have been pondering for a long time. Logically speaking, a large portion of the audience who are interested in Elysia are male viewers.

Why is Kalpas's stand-in streamer so popular? Shouldn't it be when Mobius, Pardo, Blanca were stand-in streamers? After all, they're beautiful.

And Blanca is a human being...

Sue eventually came to the conclusion that Elysia used to be a radio host specializing in emotional issues, and most of her listeners were people who had been hurt in relationships and probably enjoyed listening to Jie rant about them.

Downstairs.

"I have to admit, Otto's looks are somewhat catching up with mine."

Kevin said narcissistically.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately rolled their eyes.

Kevin is indeed handsome, but so many years since graduating from school and so much time spent as a corporate slave have changed him. His skin is no longer as smooth as it was in school, he has severe dark circles under his eyes, and his demeanor is no longer sunny but rather decadent.

A strong smell of office work wafted over me.

"Kevin, you can't be shameless!"

Yaqing joked.

"Get out!"

Kevin said irritably.

Both are almost thirty, Kevin looks like he's in his thirties, Yaqing looks like she's in her twenties.

During the seven years of returning to the Schicksal, Cecilia and Kallen constantly nagged him about skincare, saying that his face would be wasted if he didn't take care of it. As a result, the skincare products that Yaqing left at the headquarters villa are more than the ones that Mobius used.

"Eleanor, oh Eleanor..."

For some reason, Mobius had a feeling that she really liked the name, and even felt a pang of heartache for Eleanor after she turned into Honkai Beasts.

Perhaps it's a meeting of minds, or perhaps it's a connection of souls.

Yaqing stared at Eleanor, who had transformed into Honkai Beasts, the scene that was about to unfold might make his lips twitch.

"The Judah's Oath, the Eleventh Herrscher of the Previous Era, caused such great casualties. We have never seen the Zero Rated Power. It's a real pity."

Little Knowledge sighed.

"Actually, I have met him before."

Yaqing suddenly spoke.

"It's just that so much time has passed, you've all forgotten."

Little Knowledge scratched his head.

"Is there?"

Fu Hua also said, "Yes, Otto once told Theresa that Judah can neutralize all Honkai energy in a short time. Theresa once used this move against Sirin."

It has been almost two years since the first movie was released.

Little Knowledge had completely forgotten the details, let alone what Otto had said, and scratched his head in confusion.

"I've decided, I'm going to watch all the previous movies and web series from the beginning!"

Little Knowledge is full of energy.

Fu Hua, however, poured cold water on the idea.

"Don't stay up too late, you have to go back to work tomorrow."

Little Knowledge's passionate flame was instantly extinguished, and he slumped onto the sofa, leaning on Fu Hua's shoulder.

"Old fogey, I don't want to go to work..."

Little Knowledge has been playing for months and her mind is still not at peace. Making her go to work now would be like killing her.

Yaqing was completely dumbfounded. Judging from Little Knowledge's performance, anyone who didn't know better would think that the Destiny Far East Branch was exploiting its employees.

But Yaqing knew Little Knowledge's work habits: either he would slack off with Kiana in Shub's office, or he would be so bold as to slack off in the boss's office.

Yaqing smiled.

It turns out that people will laugh when they are in a state of extreme speechlessness.

The bullet from the mimicry of the heavenly fire pierced through the energy gathered in Eleanor's chest, and the purplish-black gem that had not been extracted from the Black Box began to vaporize.

"Kallen, now!"

Kallen, of course, would not let go of the opportunity that Otto had fought for her. Golden light emanated from the chains of Judah, and Eleanor let out a piercing and painful wail. Even at the end of her life, she was calling out for Lord Otto.

At that moment, a wisp of consciousness remaining in the black mist instinctively began to seek a host.

Behind Otto stood Void Archives, and in the Black Room's eyes, this body had already been taken over.

So it flew toward Kallen, trying to make Kallen its new vessel. The moment it came into contact with the black mist, Kallen's consciousness was pulled into the spiritual world.

Before her stood a giant resembling the Japanese Sengoku period. Kallen was unwilling to succumb to the Honkai's consciousness, but she was powerless to resist, just as the samurai sword was about to strike.

A critical moment.

Francis's phantom appeared and blocked the blow for Kallen, then reached out his hand to Kallen.

I can feel your determination, Kallen.

Stand up! You will never fall here, for deep within your unyielding soul...

[They have been standing in opposition to the Honkai since 50,000 years ago.]

The purplish-black giant gradually dissipated under this intense consciousness, and specks of blue light gathered around Kallen, gradually becoming dazzling. She and Francis's phantom shouted in unison.

"A belief called— Kaslana!"

Kallen's family crest and a pale blue phantom representing her beliefs appeared behind Kaslana.

The blue light, like an unstoppable ray, pierced the chest of the purplish-black giant. Kallen turned around; not only do true men never look back at an explosion, but she did too.

"So cool!"

Kevin excitedly stood up from the sofa.

The same applies to Little Knowledge.

In the battle of beliefs, the audience was initially worried about Kallen, but when they saw Francis's phantom appear, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, the more they watched, the more their hearts surged with emotion.

In particular, Kallen's last line, "The belief called— Kaslana," ignited the entire audience.

This scene is arguably the most thrilling in the entire web series.

"It's less about highlighting Otto and more about shaping Kallen."

Mobius opened a bottle of soda.

She never thinks about losing weight. With the intensity of her work and the instant noodles she usually eats, she can't gain any weight.

Kallen is a character who lives in the background, appearing only in memories or illusions. But this web series is different; it shows viewers a Kallen who is flesh and blood, and whose every action is for protection.

Perhaps it was after watching this web series that viewers understood why Otto went to such lengths to revive Kallen.

Those who gather firewood for others should not be left to freeze to death in the wilderness.

A pure person like Kallen shouldn't have died in the accident caused by Otto.

"Senior, you're wrong again."

Yaqing stared intently at the screen on the television.

"This web series doesn't have the concept of anyone supporting or shaping anyone else. From the very beginning, the characters were Otto and Kallen, and both the male and female leads are the main characters."

Mobius seemed to be deep in thought.

"Master screenwriter, have you thought about your own appearance?"

Mobius gave a "gentle" smile.

Whenever Yaqing's appearance is mentioned, Mobius's mind is filled with the phrase "Mr. Assassin".

Yaqing shook her head.

Regarding his own appearance, the next step should be a dream about vampires. A few months ago, when "The Day the Stars and You Vanished" was released, Patrick or Shub gave him a script.

When Yaqing shook his head, Mobius's first thought was that he didn't want to talk about it.

After all, what screenwriter doesn't know the development of their script?

What kind of international joke is this?

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."

Mobius's gentle smile vanished completely, as if it had never existed, and he turned his head and gave a cold snort.

Yaqing is truly wronged.

But he couldn't refute it.

Kallen, who had just awakened from her mental space, pushed away Otto, who was caring for her, and was about to leave with the Black Box in her arms. The Honkai consciousness would bewitch people, so she could only seal it temporarily and therefore could not leave the Black Box here.

In the dim sunlight, the two stood back to back.

When Kallen left, Otto reached out his hand to try to stop her, but then lowered it.
