Alright!
Discharged.
That did make a lot of sense.
So even after the street footage leaked, some people believed it while others still refused to.
"Frame-by-frame analysis of the car accident from beginning to end."
"..."
"Which movie trailer is this supposed to be? Pretty creative."
"Please don't be fooled. We must firmly boycott fraudulent attempts to scam people for traffic."
"..."
"Why do I say Honkai exists? This is the proof!"
"..."
After that.
Across the internet and forums.
Twitter, blogs, Tieba, and all sorts of other places... the arguments continued without end.
To be fair, many major influencers stepped forward. Some thought it was real, some thought it was fake, and some presented elaborate analyses and their own opinions. But did they know the outcome? Did they know the truth?
No.
They did not care.
They only cared about riding the wave of popularity. That was all.
In the past, any news related to Honkai would be deleted outright, or people would be led away from the subject as the issue was downplayed.
But now.
No one was restricting anything.
Yet without anyone noticing, things still turned out like this.
That left quite a few official media outlets responsible for guiding public opinion feeling both amused and helpless.
After all, they had done plenty of similar things before and had more or less formed their own guesses.
They also suspected the incident was real.
But without any word from above, there was nothing they could do.
Tell everyone it was real?
Confirm it beyond doubt?
Or keep deceiving everyone by saying it was fake?
Had they gotten so practiced that it became second nature?
Their feelings were clearly complicated.
This created a very strange situation online. Even though people offline were arguing fiercely, the only active voices online were minor figures. The official media outlets all seemed to be keeping silent, saying nothing at all.
They were still reporting on other matters.
All of them looked important.
It even gave people the impression that this car accident was nothing special, just an ordinary incident not worth paying attention to.
But!
Sure enough, some people began to grow suspicious because of this.
After all, not everyone was an idiot.
They might not have accepted it before, but little by little, slowly, they might come to accept it.
There was nothing that could be done about that!
If they were truly curious, they would look for relevant clues.
And if they were capable enough, they might discover even more.
"Damn Flame-Chasing Moth!"
"You even turned such a quiet girl into an experiment?!"
"..."
Somewhere in Twilight Street.
Vilvi kept typing on her keyboard. She hacked into the surveillance cameras at the intersection, then followed the trail into several databases to search through their records. When she saw that Kiana's information had been marked as top secret, she was completely stunned.
However.
Though she could not break in within such a short time.
And although hacking was not her specialty, she still found traces indicating that Kiana had deep ties to Flame-Chasing Moth. Even Flame-Chasing Moth's recent movements all seemed connected to Kiana.
She could not help but think more deeply about it.
You innately evil Flame-Chasing Moth! You were trying to use Honkai to control nations and manipulate humanity, and now you had even created human weapons. What else did you want?
What?
You wanted to say Kiana's inhuman strength was not Flame-Chasing Moth's doing?
Heh, she did not believe it!
According to the information she had found earlier, Flame-Chasing Moth had long been conducting human experiments with something called Honkai. Those cases of Honkai Sickness were all consequences left behind by their experiments.
If there was one successful subject capable of controlling Honkai, what was so impossible about that?
"No! I have to save that child."
PS1: Here's the first update. There's one more to come, keep it up~~
So she really was just a brat!
Vilvi was undoubtedly intelligent.
In the original story, she was the ultimate carry with a two-hundred-percent participation rate in every team battle.
Whether she was dead or alive, she carried everyone.
Although she had not undergone Fusion Warrior surgery yet and could not freely divide her thoughts, her dissociative identities had already appeared. And as time passed, they seemed to be getting worse.
She was a genius.
She was extremely confident.
Ever since she discovered that Honkai was hidden beneath peaceful human society, she had pursued it all the way to Flame-Chasing Moth.
Therefore.
She had been watching Flame-Chasing Moth for a long time.
Although she did not know why the sky curtain had appeared some time ago, if she were the one doing it, she could create something similar through her own methods. Yes, like a magic trick.
That was why she did not really believe in the existence of the sky curtain either.
Especially after the sky curtain had openly mentioned concepts like Honkai, its contents had indeed seemed incredibly novel to Vilvi.
But all her personalities had their own opinions.
After discussing it.
They unanimously decided to first see what Flame-Chasing Moth was doing before considering anything else. What if this was merely one of their fishing operations? They could not fall for it so easily.
Vilvi had also monitored the movements of every country afterward.
Her greatest problem was that she could not access truly classified information, and even if she managed to hack in, she would be exposed instantly.
This Twilight Street hideout was the place where she had stayed the longest.
But now, she felt it was time to abandon it.
Although she also thought Kiana resembled the person revealed by the sky curtain, as though she really was that so-called Herrscher of the End.
But how could something like a Herrscher possibly exist?
Vilvi had already decided that Honkai had been created by Flame-Chasing Moth. Kiana had to be one of Flame-Chasing Moth's experimental subjects.
She had even solved the case now.
The sky curtain had appeared to advertise these experimental subjects of theirs.
They wanted to use it to build momentum.
"A god-making project?"
"Just wait until I steal your god away. What will you be able to do then?"
"..."
Therefore.
The next plan!
Vilvi had found a breakthrough.
That was right.
It was Kiana.
She would approach Kiana, win her over, and let Kiana see Flame-Chasing Moth's despicable nature.
She would rescue Kiana from the hands of that innately evil Flame-Chasing Moth.
And so.
She quickly began devising a plan.
She prepared to act.
Meanwhile, over here.
Smack!
Kiana had been attacked.
All of Shenzhou was shaken.
The higher-ups were furious, and a bloody storm erupted in an instant.
Although afterward, Kiana acted as if nothing had happened. She did not pursue the matter or say anything.
But even if she said nothing, could they really pretend it had never happened?
Fortunately, Kiana truly did not mind. She held no grudge, and she was in a decent mood.
Then she would not turn into the Herrscher of the End.
But even so!
The mastermind had to be found.
Every single person involved had to be captured.
Otherwise.
If there was a first time, there would be a second.
They had dared to launch a suicidal attack in Shenzhou, universally recognized as having the best public safety in the world.
They really were tired of living.
What? Calm down?
How was anyone supposed to calm down?
Justification?
The Herrscher of the End was the greatest justification.
And so.
