"Ah..."

Mobius put a piece of meat on Yaqing and said irritably, "You deserved to bring this up while you were eating."

"Senior, why are you criticizing me too?"

Can't I talk about you?

"Okay, okay."

Chapter 139 After reading the script, Sakura came to my door.

Kevin and Sakura's voice acting journey is not over yet.

Yaqing locked herself in her office.

With a loud banging on the door, Yaqing was too frightened to approach it.

"Yaqing, what are you doing?!" Kevin and Yaqing both huddled behind the sofa.

"Maybe... probably... perhaps, Sakura can't accept the script I wrote." Yaqing hid behind Kevin.

"Ha?"

Sakura was banging on the office door.

"Yaqing, don't hide inside and keep quiet! I know you're listening!" Ying pounded on the door harder and harder.

Yaqing watched as the office door began to sway, fearing it would collapse at any moment.

"What exactly did you write?!" Kevin's eyes widened. He really couldn't understand what Yaqing had written to make Ying so angry.

"I..."

Outside, Shub watched Sakura pounding on the door cautiously, seemingly wanting to say something but not daring to.

"Sister Sakura, please stop patting. Your hands will hurt if you keep doing that..." Seele was worried that if Sakura kept patting, her hands would hurt unbearably.

"That's right, that's right."

"That's right, that's right."

Rosalia and Lilia huddled behind Seele, only daring to peek out with their little heads.

"Hoo..." Sakura stopped what she was doing. Her palms were indeed red. Her huge breasts heaved with anger, and her pretty face turned red.

"Go open the door." Yaqing pushed Kevin out.

"You angered Ying, you go open the door." Kevin grabbed Yaqing's arm, trying to pull him out.

"Okay, I'll go."

Yaqing opened the office door and, while Ying was still in a daze, pulled her in with Kevin before quickly closing the door.

Shub, who was planning to go in together, almost bumped into the door.

"Pfft..." Rosalia chuckled, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and forcibly held it back.

"What are you looking at? Get back to the dubbing!" Shub said angrily.

Sakura, who was pulled into the office, sat in Yaqing's chair with her hands on her hips.

Yaqing and Kevin hung their heads like students caught skipping class.

"Wait a minute? What does this have to do with me? Why should I go with him?"

Kevin, who was standing next to him, only then realized what was happening and quickly switched sides, walking behind Sakura and pointing at Yaqing.

"Yaqing, how exactly did you write the plot?!" Ying slammed her hand on the table, startling Yaqing.

"Isn't that to leave a deep impression on the audience..." Yaqing muttered.

"What?!" Sakura's beautiful eyes widened in anger.

"It's my fault, it's my fault." Yaqing raised her hands above her head.

"Change the plot, or Rin will cry." Sakura's idea was to change the plot.

"It can't be changed." When the script was mentioned, Yaqing's back straightened up considerably.

"You!"

Seeing that neither Yaqing nor Ying was willing to give in, Kevin was afraid that they would start arguing, so he quickly said, "Hey, don't argue, don't argue. We can talk things over. Yaqing, don't be stubborn with Ying."

Sakura turned her face away, not wanting to look at them.

Yaqing's tone softened as well.

"Sakura, think about this plot again carefully. Isn't the whole thing about your love for Rin?" Yaqing opened her mouth and started her deceptive tactics again.

"Moreover, your idea that Rin would be sad to see this scene only proves how well-written this plot is. It's not a flaw, but quite the opposite, it's a strength."

"This..." Sakura's pretty face already showed hesitation.

"I believe Rin wouldn't want to delete this part of the story either, because it not only tells the story of your sisterhood with Rin, but also shapes your character and..."

Yaqing spent almost half an hour explaining the pros and cons to Ying (brainwashing).

In the end, he paid Sakura far more for her voice acting and reputation than others, since Sakura was raising her younger sister in junior high school alone and working overtime until late at night every day, and he was happy to help Sakura in this way.

Sakura also needs this money, as Rin will be going to high school next year. However, being proud, she won't think about borrowing money and will only bury herself in hard work.

Yaqing did not feel that it was charity when she used this pretext.

After Ying left satisfied, Kevin looked at Yaqing and said, "Did you do that on purpose?"

"Was it that obvious? Even you noticed." Yaqing adopted a different demeanor, sitting on the soft chair and playing with the hair by her ear.

"What do you mean?!" Kevin slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Aren't you going to do the dubbing?" Yaqing suddenly remembered that there were still many documents to be corrected, and said without looking up.

Kevin glared at Yaqing, stood up, and stared intently at her.

"Fine, I'll get out!!!"

Kevin gripped the office door tightly, as if he wanted to slam it shut, but in the end he closed it gently.

"Sigh." Yaqing sighed.

This is just Sakura's storyline, Yaqing already has a headache. He himself is unwilling to write the storylines for Griseo and Kosma, and he doesn't even know what kind of consequences they might cause.

"Bite."

A message notification sounded.

"Who messaged me at this hour?" Yaqing opened the chat interface and found that it was a message from Eden. "Is it already recorded?"

Even before the release of Honkai 2: Queen's Arrival, he sent the music text of Angel Rebuild and Nightglow to Eden, asking her to sing it.

The Eden concert delayed things a bit, and the recording of Angel Rebuild was only finished and sent over today.

Yaqing clicked on it.

A few minutes later, Yaqing frowned. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Eden's singing; on the contrary, she sang very well, but she didn't express the feeling he wanted.

"Knock knock knock".

Yaqing tapped the table, pondering carefully who else besides Eden could sing.

Elysia?!

After eliminating all the girls he knew, Yaqing was left with only Elysia.

Yaqing became conflicted again.

Elysia, he did indeed leave her a song to sing, but it wasn't this one; instead, it was "Angel Rebuild"...

Suddenly, Yaqing had a flash of inspiration.

He got up and left the office, went to dubbing room number four, pushed the door open, and found Bronya resting after just finishing a scene. She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong? You're actually here to supervise me personally. I really am the next protagonist." Bronya joked.

"Not really. You've already done voice acting for two movies, so I have a lot of faith in your skills." Yaqing sat down opposite Bronya: "Bronya, can you sing?"

"Singing?" Bronya thought for a moment, "I don't know, I just sang some nursery rhymes when I was little."

"A nursery rhyme? That would be wonderful. I also have a 'nursery rhyme' here that I need you to sing," Yaqing said with a smile.

Bronya looked at him warily; she always felt that Yaqing's smile carried a hint of malice.

Are you sure?

"I'm sure, even certain."

Chapter 140 "Foreshadowing"

A week passed after Yaqing finished her own voice acting, and the Honkai 3rd web series Anti-Entropy: Origin was due to update. During this time, Yaqing also finished writing the script for "Misty Capital Holiday". The next project is "Inheritance".

On the plane to North America, Joyce had a dream: a scene of ruins and flames, with corpses lying haphazardly by the roadside, and a scarred red-haired woman sitting beside a wall that was already showing signs of decay.

"Now that things have come to this, how do these cockroach-like survivors plan to deal with me?"

"You're going to dig out my Herrscher Core while I'm still alive, and then hang me like a dog?"

The red-haired woman suddenly burst into hysterical laughter.

"It's quite interesting, isn't it?"

Joyce awoke with a start amidst the woman's maniacal laughter, gasping for breath and unable to calm down for a long time.

The dream was so vivid that he began to doubt whether it was truly a dream or a memory from the past.

The Herrscher.

Joyce suddenly thought of this word.

However, there are no Herrscher in the world today. The records left by ancient documents are only regarded as creation myths. What Joyce can't understand is why the lady he transformed into in his dream had such crazy ideas.

Joyce looked around and saw that his companions were fast asleep.

"Having nightmares is just bad luck."

Miss Sirin is broadcasting on time again today.

"It's Himeko!"

"A hint, this is definitely a hint! The Herrscher from the previous civilization looks exactly like Himeko. Himeko is definitely not going to be easy!"

When the woman from Joyce's dream appeared, Sirin's live stream was suddenly flooded with excited fans who had never believed Himeko's death.

"Is this really Himeko?" Kiana couldn't believe that Himeko's mentality had changed so much after becoming Herrscher.

Today, Kiana and Sirin are streaming together.

"Brainless Idiot, that's not Himeko. Himeko probably hasn't even been born in this timeline yet. She's Herrscher from the previous civilization, she just looks like her." When Sirin is with Kiana, Sirin IQ skyrockets.

"Brainless Idiot, hahaha, I remember Mei or Theresa calling Kiana that in the story too."

"What Brainless Idiot? That's called Kiana!"

"Kiana! Kiana! Kiana!"

"Hey, you're not allowed to call me that!" Kiana exclaimed hastily when she saw the nickname given to her in the comments.

After Kiana finished speaking, the comments section exploded even more enthusiastically, until...

[Queen's Familiar - Dragon: "Stop spamming the chat~"]

When Bella appeared, many comments disappeared, but then they exploded like a geyser, all saying "Sister Bella ~".

At the New York airport where they were transferring flights, a man and a woman dressed in black blocked their way. Bishop Otto ordered them to be given a tattered piece of parchment called the Dead Sea Scrolls.

After shopping in New York, they flew to Billings, North America. When they arrived in North America, it was already night. Planck and Schrödinger were there to pick them up.

"Hey, Liesel looks so cute in this outfit! And she seems to have grown a little taller too?"

Planck pulled Einstein, now dressed in a formal suit, into his arms. Perhaps because her face was buried in the other's rather magnanimous embrace, the naturally curly-haired girl let out a series of suffocating moans.

Tesla, who was standing nearby, was furious.

Then, Planck gently kissed Einstein on the forehead, which immediately broke Tesla's guard.

"How should I put it?" Edison was in her office today, with Schrödinger sitting next to her. She clicked her tongue in amazement. "Tsk tsk tsk, it would have been better if we hadn't said anything. But looking at it this way, it seems that there really is something strange between Tesla and Einstein."
