He had already been twisted into a pretzel on the spot, okay?
Especially since the spot where he turned happened to be right by the front-left door.
Kiana pressed her palm out, and it landed right there.
Therefore.
Before he could react to anything, the inward-buckled car door slammed into him and shattered every bone in his body.
Even if he was not dead yet, he was already breathing more in than out. Like someone who could not die in peace, he glared through the shattered window at the calm Kiana.
That was what Kiana saw now.
"Kiana!" Elysia hurried over, abandoning her drink as she grabbed Kiana's hand and looked her over from every angle, fussing over her nonstop.
Kiana shook her head. "I'm fine."
But the next moment, she gave the wrecked sports car beside her a meaningful glance and smiled. "It seems someone hoped I wouldn't be."
Frankly speaking.
This was not all that surprising.
Humans always liked courting death.
There would always be people clinging to wishful thinking.
And there would always be people willing to take desperate risks.
Kiana had long understood the diversity of humanity.
Precisely because of that, she felt incredibly calm. Even though someone had died because of her, she did not think there was anything wrong with it. She felt nothing.
Perhaps she was colder than she had imagined.
But she did not dislike this version of herself.
"Let's go!" Seeing the people around them pointing and gossiping as the crowd of onlookers grew larger, Elysia quickly pulled Kiana away.
As for calling the police or waiting for them...
None of that mattered.
Someone would handle it.
They did not need to think about it.
"Just now... what was that girl's name?"
"I think... Kiana?"
"..."
"Was that her name?"
"Yes, I heard it right!"
"..."
Gradually.
The people present began posting on their social media, while the discussions and heated debates grew more numerous.
"Kiana... isn't that the name of the Herrscher of the End from the sky screen? No way, right?"
"Wasn't that fake?"
"..."
"You still think it's fake? How naïve!"
"..."
Some were astonished, while others could not believe it.
"White hair, blue eyes, even her face shape and looks... she really looks just like her!"
"And that pink-haired girl—could she be Elysia?"
"That's right, she was definitely Elysia! The Herrscher of Origin... my God, I have to brag to my wife that I saw Origin and the End!"
"..."
Thinking about it carefully.
If they merely looked alike, that would not have meant much.
But the key was that, just moments ago, right there.
Kiana had calmly stopped a speeding sports car with a casual gesture.
Compared to the car, she looked like a little white rabbit facing a rhinoceros.
Yet when the rhinoceros charged, the rabbit did not even move. Instead, the rhinoceros bled from all seven orifices, leaving a gruesome sight.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes.
Who the hell would dare believe something like that could happen in this world?
That was it!
She was definitely the protagonist projected by the sky screen herself.
But correspondingly.
That also meant the sky screen was probably real. Every bit of it was real.
The characters within it had appeared beside them, and even the abilities she displayed were as fantastical as a fairy tale.
No ordinary person could do something like that.
If she was not special, who would believe it?

"Hey, hey, did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"My aunt's third cousin's wife ran into Kiana."
"Kiana... who?"
"..."
"Come on, you don't even know the End? The one from the sky screen!"
"Oh... huh? She actually exists?"
"..."
"Holy shit! No way, right? Stopping a sports car barehanded is ridiculous!"
"As everyone knows, videos can't be edited, so it's real!"
"..."
"Fuck, who secretly evolved without taking me along? Damn it."
"That pink-haired girl was so pretty... was her name Elysia? Yeah, yeah, Elysia?"
"The Herrscher of Origin?"
"..."
In less than a few minutes.
Related news flooded the internet.
Gradually, it spread everywhere.
Truth mixed with falsehood, falsehood mixed with truth. Heated discussions erupted everywhere, and it quickly climbed the trending charts.
To be fair.
If news about such matters had appeared online before, it would definitely have been suppressed immediately.
But now, the higher-ups had quietly begun relaxing the restrictions.
As the saying went, it was better to guide than to block.
Since many things were bound to become known sooner or later.
Things had also drifted somewhat from their original purpose. It was better to simply let things continue this way.
If people believed it, then they believed it. If they did not, then they did not.
Either way, the authorities would neither admit nor confirm anything, allowing the rumors to spread and even become distorted through retelling.
In the end, that would actually cause less trouble.
Because unless people saw it with their own eyes, many would still treat it as entertainment and would not truly believe it.
On the other hand, widespread suppression, deletion, and cleanup of related content would only draw more attention and arouse suspicion. More discussion, perhaps fueled by rebelliousness, would become even harder to contain.
When all was said and done!
They had indeed once believed that letting more people learn about Honkai.
Would be a major issue that could shake society.
But now that the sky screen had appeared, there was a turning point.
Even if the existence of Honkai and Herrschers was more troublesome than imagined.
Still!
If that future uploader truly came from the future, then that meant humanity would most likely endure.
No!
They had to endure.
It was like receiving a quiet hint, giving them something to rely on in their hearts.
It was only natural for policies to change accordingly.
That was understandable.
And in fact, that was exactly what happened.
As more and more information spread, some people confidently claimed they had been at the scene despite never having been there.
Others even went there to check in. They saw the police cordoning off the area, but they had not seen what was actually happening inside and still spoke with absolute certainty.
Tell me.
Would they treat it as a bit of fun?
Or would they truly believe it had happened?
"Are you stupid, or am I stupid?"
"This is obviously scripted!"
"..."
"If someone could really stop a sports car barehanded, why wouldn't she just fly into the sky?"
"..."
The sky screen?
You're talking to me about the sky screen?
Even now, most people still believed the sky screen was fake. It had to be some new technology developed by the country.
Even though the country itself had never said so.
Many of them simply made up explanations for themselves and believed them.
As for the fact that people all over the world could see the sky screen?
How would I know?
If I knew, wouldn't that make me part of the upper ranks?
