Otto Is Unusually Excited, Raising Suspicions.

Kevin was so startled he almost dropped the cup.

"Sorry, sorry, Boss Kevin."

Pardo looked apologetic.

"What's wrong? Why such a strong reaction? Is Mei planning to cook again?"

Little Knowledge looked around.

Mei Jiebai's forehead veins bulged. She knew her cooking skills weren't great, but there was no need to treat them like biological weapons.

If everyone could hear what Mei was thinking, they would nod wildly and agree that it was necessary, absolutely necessary!

Wanting to understand why Pardo was so surprised, Little Knowledge leaned closer and saw the scene on the phone screen, his pupils shrinking.

"No?! Yaqing, are you crazy?"

Little Knowledge reacted with the same shock, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Yaqing tilted her head, looking very puzzled.

"Little Knowledge, what are you saying?"

Little Knowledge snatched the phone from Pardo's hand, wishing she could stick it to Yaqing's face.

"An hour and a half? What kind of propaganda film for good people is an hour and a half long? Have you ever seen a movie that does this?!"

Little Knowledge was completely dumbfounded.

If a promotional video that's about an hour and a half long is comparable to a movie, then how long would the actual plot have to be to match an hour and a half of promotional video?

"Ah?"

Everyone reacted with the same disbelief as Pardo.

This operation left everyone completely baffled.

"Yaqing, did you mix up the official plot and the trailer again?"

Elysia had reason to suspect that it was a mistake by the back-end staff, who accidentally included the main storyline in the promotional video. After all, there was a precedent for this, with the web series "Anti-Entropy".

"No, it's just a gimmick."

Yaqing expressed her helplessness.

"Strictly speaking, this cannot be called a promotional video. It should be considered an interlude that serves as a transition, with the promotional video only taking up a small portion of a few minutes."

After hearing Yaqing's explanation, everyone accepted the extent of the promotional video.

"Interlude?"

Kevin complains.

"You're making it more and more like a TV drama, it's not like a movie anymore."

"That's why I changed the movie to a web series. Otherwise, Kevin would have wet his pants sitting in the movie theater for so long."

"Get lost! I won't!"

Kevin angrily cursed.

Eden provided the instrument.

Since Golden Courtyard is located in the suburbs, food delivery takes a long time. Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well see what this interlude is about.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The main reason is that I'm really bored.

Almost two months have passed since the Burning Flames Forever began. Although the web series provided some support, viewers clearly preferred watching the main storyline.

Pardo connected her phone to the TV and cast the screen.

Just as Golden Courtyard was preparing to watch it together, the online community was already in an uproar because of the promotional video. After all, a promotional video that is an hour and a half long is rare, or perhaps it has set a new trend.

"Holy crap, what is that old scoundrel trying to do? A 90-minute promotional video, how much of the main storyline is going to be included?!"

["It's called a promotional video, but it's actually a deceptive marketing ploy."]

["Upon clicking on it, it turned out not to be a promotional video at all, but rather an interlude titled 'The Immortal Blades'."]

"Ah?"

Sirin also looked shocked. When she learned that it was just a gimmick, not a promotional video, but an interlude, she found it reasonable and nodded.

The first chapter of the interlude was titled "Fate".

It gave birth to all things in the world; you should know this.

I am both the origin and the destruction of the world.

At six o'clock in the morning, the girl finished her training, turned off the training device, and skillfully entered the illusion of the Sumeru Mustard Seed, using meditation to conclude her morning exercise.

Her meditation companion today is still the Divine Key, Abyss Flower.

Three years ago, Durandal received this weapon from the bishop, who hoped that she could break the record and become the youngest A-rank, S-Rank Valkyrie. Unbeknownst to her, she has become the second most important person in the bishop's Schicksal.

However, even so, deep in Durandal's heart, there was always a lingering sense of unease.

This sense of incongruity is related to the girl's life, but it does not originate from her life itself.

In fact, she was well aware that all Valkyrie had their general life direction decided the moment they enlisted, and she was at peace with it, even saying that she enjoyed demonstrating her abilities and value in such dangerous situations.

But as she grew older, she became increasingly aware of a helpless situation: regardless of one's values, one must make choices amidst the complexities of fate.

But according to what Durandal said, everything she experienced was arranged by Bishop Otto.

From the journey to the Sea of Quanta to the unexpected encounter with the pioneers, it all stemmed from Otto's plan and orders.

Durandal disliked this fate, although her life so far, as far as she remembered it, had not filled her with dissatisfaction.

"Why do I feel Durandal has changed? She's become eccentric, like..."

Pardo couldn't help but glance at Su.

Even Durandal thoughts are filled with the characteristics of a riddle-maker. Durandal used to have a kind of natural naiveté, but now Durandal seems to be gradually moving closer to Su.

Pardo did not like this change.

The reason is that the riddle-maker is somewhat insulting to her intelligence.

"It seems that Durandal is aware of Otto's interference in her life, but she doesn't like it. Perhaps it's because of her sense of justice that she still believes that without Otto's leadership, humanity will Honkai under the Honkai."

Sakura pouted.

Leaders? What good are leaders? Leaders who exploit their employees to work overtime should all die!

Sakura is now full of resentment.

"I'm not interested in Durandal's so-called inner thoughts; what interests me are the first two sentences."

Mobius propped his head up with his hand.

"Me too."

Mei nodded.

Compared to Durandal's inner thoughts, the foreshadowing and plot points hidden in the very first two sentences are clearly more important.

The words "gestation," "origin," and "destruction" are not yet understood by them, but they have a strange feeling that they will be important foreshadowing.

At the same time.

As soon as she got home, Kiana took a shower and changed into light and comfortable pajamas.

"Has Bronya still not returned?"

Kiana dried her wet hair with a towel.

"Hmm, I heard that Bronya's project is nearing completion, so she'll probably be quite busy these next few days. Kiana, why don't you go watch some TV? I'll cook the food first."

Mei was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Mei and Mei look very similar, but their cooking skills are worlds apart.

Mei's cooking is breathtaking; Mei's cooking is awe-inspiring.

Okay~

Kiana went back to her room and dried her hair with a hairdryer. Then she went to the living room and lazily curled up on the sofa. As usual, she used the internet TV to log onto the Collapse Official Website and randomly clicked on a video on the homepage.

It's all just a publicity stunt, an interlude of Immortal Blades.

Kiana was feeling sleepy after taking a shower, but upon hearing Durandal's thoughts, her sleepiness vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of excitement.

"My older sister doesn't like everything Otto arranged. Is this foreshadowing? Does it mean that my older sister will have the opportunity to see Otto's true colors and then choose to help me?"

Kiana never believed from the beginning that Durandal in the story had nothing to do with her. She always guessed that her older sister had amnesia and was controlled by the evil Archbishop Otto, waiting for her, as the protagonist, to save her.

"Mei! Mei!"

"What's wrong, Kiana?"

Mei, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in one hand, poked her head out of the kitchen.

"Mei, do you think there might be a sudden plot twist for the older sister later on? For example, that she's my long-lost older sister, and that her surname isn't Atagina, but Kaslana?"

Kiana's eyes lit up, and she struck a pose like a puppy, melting hearts at first sight.

Mei, of course, couldn't escape.

"Maybe so, Kiana."

Mei spoke gently, as if she were coaxing a child.

"Great!"

Kiana was overjoyed and danced with excitement after receiving Mei's affirmation.

Mei looked utterly helpless.

Mei didn't really agree with Kiana's speculation.

However, what Mei didn't expect was that sometimes fools are lucky, and sometimes there are special coincidences that science can't explain.

"Big sister, big sister, you need to wake up soon!"

Kiana stretched out her sexy figure.

Since graduating from school, not only Mei's temperament has changed, but Kiana's has as well.

In essence, Kiana has jumped directly from the White Comet of the St. Freya Academy to the gentle and resolute Finality; in short, she has grown up.

"Click".

Bronya, looking exhausted, returned with Seele's arm around her.

After class, Seele went to wait for Sister Bronya to get off work.

After all, she is Cocolia's daughter, and in the eyes of the Anti-Entropy people Cocolia is like a god of wealth.

462

Chapter 462 Otto's unusual excitement raises suspicions.

"Bianka, I'm back."

Otto's voice broke the silence of meditation. He calmly told Durandal some earth-shattering news: the experiment of connecting the World Bubble to the Imaginary Tree was about to begin.

Durandal hadn't expected this day to come so soon, and couldn't help but recall the trip to the World Bubble when she was twelve. When she entered the combat preparation room, Rita had already arrived.

Both of them uttered many philosophical remarks about their nervous feelings.

Amber, Changguang, Rita, Durandal, and almost all of the top executives of Schicksal were present, while the space and power system of the Second Divine Key still needed to be warmed up for 5 minutes.

In those five minutes, Otto explained the mission to them, and in doing so, to the audience.

"Hmm... I don't understand."

Pardo's eyes were darting around.

If it weren't for the main storyline, she probably would have turned it off immediately.

The reason why the web series "Durandal" received poor feedback was because it contained too many philosophical terms, which made the viewing experience unpleasant. Now, the interlude of "Immortal Blades" has reminded them of that web series.
