Kiana planned to reveal only part of it each time.
Whether it was official history or unofficial history, none of it was guaranteed to be true. Believe it or not.
Then—
Mobius continued questioning her.
Her questions were all extremely detailed.
And Kiana, as though she had only just realized how different she was, cooperated fully and answered honestly.
In the end—
Mobius frowned. It was not that she was dissatisfied, but while one question had received some answers, even more questions had surfaced in her mind.
She glanced over.
It was already past five in the afternoon.
She had not expected them to have talked for several hours.
She could only leave reluctantly with Bianca.
But before leaving, she said, "Kiana, you don't want to stay here for the rest of your life, do you? If you don't mind, you can come find me."
Here—
Mobius had played a little trick.
She knew that Shenzhou, and even the world, would not keep Kiana under house arrest forever. But she also knew that they would not tell Kiana that.
Although Kiana seemed obedient right now—
Mobius could tell that Kiana was absolutely not the quiet, well-behaved sort.
What if?
What if Kiana truly believed it and came to her laboratory of her own accord? Wouldn't that be even better?
Mobius knew very well that after this meeting, she probably would not see this child again for quite some time.
She had gained quite a bit, along with an unexpected surprise.
It seemed she would have to revise her report once she got back.
She did want to help Kiana a little.
Then—
Manipulating the report would be a good way to do it.
If she made the judgment and offered reasonable suggestions, so long as they were logical and well-supported, she was confident that even if those above did not believe her, they would have to accept it—and follow her recommendations.
"Kiana." After Mobius left, Kiana's Mother brought out a plate of sliced fruit, set it on the table, and sat beside Kiana.
She raised her right hand and gently placed it on Kiana's shoulder.
She looked at her apologetically.
"I'm sorry... You've really suffered these past few days."
When Kiana's Mother was working outside, she was serious—a strong, capable businesswoman. But at home, before her daughter, she was a gentle mother.
One important reason she had granted her daughter's every request these past few days was because she felt deeply guilty.
Even with her family's background, they should not have needed to bow to anyone else. But with the entire world exerting pressure—including the old master—they had no choice but to consider the bigger picture and temporarily restrict Kiana's movements.
Her wonderful, adorable daughter had been confined at home.
How could a mother feel good about that?
She even felt that her daughter's lying flat and giving up like this was just a child throwing a tantrum and expressing her resentment.
She could only do her best to comfort her. There was no other way.
"It's okay, Mom... I understand." Kiana felt so despicable.
She took the opportunity to hug her mother, constantly rubbing against her in her mother's arms. Her own figure was quite good too, but she still preferred rubbing against someone else.
She knew full well that the crying child got the milk.
So not only did she not explain herself, she clung to her mother even more coquettishly.
Like a little kitten.
PS1: Here's the second update. I'll keep it up tomorrow too~~
Elysia: Huh? I'm a Herrscher?
"Don't worry, my child..."
"Your grandfather, your uncles, and your aunts are all thinking of ways to handle this. It won't be long before you can relax."
"..."
Kiana's Mother gently patted her daughter's back.
Comforting her.
After all—
Their family was, at the very least, a world-class family.
Even if they compromised, it would only be temporary.
In fact, if the old master himself had not been so stubborn, they would not even have needed to consider so much.
Even if the worst came to pass—
Kiana was the future Herrscher of the End.
If she was in a good mood, the future would be bright.
If she was in a bad mood, the whole world would have to die.
What was wrong with being a little willful?
They were the ones who should be worried.
Kiana's Mother actually felt that it might be better if her daughter were a little spoiled and unruly, because then she would not be bullied.
Unfortunately, she had been so sensible since childhood.
Such a good child...
"System." Kiana called out to the system in her heart.
I'm here. The system answered immediately.
A good child?
So sensible since childhood?
Bullshit.
Even before her memories of her previous life had awakened—
Kiana had been thoroughly black-hearted.
She had already made the second installment of the ranking video.
She tossed it to the system.
Now, she asked the system how the post-production was going.
The system immediately replied that everything that needed editing had been edited, and everything that needed fabricating had been fabricated. Even something from last week could be made to look like it came from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Everything was ready.
"Very good. After I finish dinner, release it tonight."
Kiana still preferred watching videos at night after taking a bath, when she had nothing to do.
It was night where she was, but elsewhere it could be morning, noon, afternoon, or midnight. What did that have to do with her?
When the heavenly screen unfolded, thunder would boom across the sky.
If those who were sleeping got woken up by it, then they could only count themselves unlucky. After all, it covered the entire globe. Some would catch it at a good time, while others would curse and grumble.
Wasn't that so?
Afterward—
Kiana's Mother held Kiana for quite a while before gradually patting her back and signaling for her to let go.
Then she went to make dinner.
After dinner—
Kiana's Mother, as usual, helped Kiana bathe and scrubbed her back.
By the time she changed into a clean, light gauze nightgown—
The sky had already begun to change.
Her nightgown was soft in texture, but it was not revealing.
So she went to the balcony without concern.
There, she saw her mother hurriedly come over. Only after finding her did she let out a sigh of relief.
Clearly!
After the first time—
Everyone was no longer unfamiliar with the heavenly screen.
Even without any warning signs—
The moment they heard that thunderous boom—
They knew that the future Vup had uploaded another video.
For now, whether they believed it or not, whether they wanted to copy the answers or simply watch for entertainment—
Most people would still watch it.
No matter how much they believed, whether they believed or not, as long as the heavenly screen's video stirred their emotions—
Then—
Kiana would not lose out.
"It's okay... Mom is here with you." Seeing Kiana staring at the sky with a somewhat strange expression, Kiana's Mother worried about her and gently wrapped an arm around her.
Kiana nodded slightly and smiled sweetly. She did not refuse and obediently let her hold her.
Some stood before windows in towering buildings. Some were out in open spaces.
Some simply went into their courtyards.
Some brought out reclining chairs.
Those in power put down their pens, rubbed the backs of their necks, and shook their heads with bitter smiles. Yet even with cervical problems, they still had to watch.
Some had even ended up in the hospital.
They still asked the doctors to open the windows.
Some had missed it last time. They could not miss it this time.
"Eden, do you remember what the heavenly screen said this episode would be about?" In the Far East, Eden's manager looked at her with a smile.
Eden smiled faintly. "It's about the girl behind that Herrscher of the End, isn't it? It really is quite interesting."
She thought the Vup was probably using clickbait. After all, plenty of self-media accounts did that to attract traffic.
She had come to the Far East to prepare for a concert.
This heavenly screen's appearance gave her a chance to rest.
Ciallo~
