She felt conflicted about this question. It was impossible to make a choice from her heart...

"Since you don't want to see, let me help you see it all clearly~"

Just as Seele was in deep turmoil but unable to find peace, a voice rang out... Afterward, 'she' fell into a deep sleep, and another 'she' woke up.

"Heh, hello everyone. I can't remember your names, but oh well. Let's get along well for the time being~"

A rather impolite red bullet comment floated by in the livestream!

Beichen froze upon seeing this comment, the shadow of that 'Seele' appearing in his mind.

This blood-red color formed a stark contrast with the pure and beautiful blue from before.

Seeing the comment drift across the screen, everyone else in the livestream frowned.

Beichen then focused his gaze on the comment list along with them.

To his surprise, he was stunned. The livestream room, which originally only had three viewers, had somehow gained a fourth person without him noticing!

And the ID of this fourth person was... [Embrace your power, Seele.]

"System."

Upon seeing this ID, Beichen immediately kicked the System in his mind.

[Does the host have any questions?]

"So the viewer IDs can directly display the person's name? Isn't that cheating?"

[Is the host joking? For this Seele, the other Seele is another Seele, not this Seele.]

Hearing this, Beichen paused, then a flash of inspiration struck him.

Perhaps the System's definition of a viewer wasn't limited to a complete person?

Could a split personality also be counted as a viewer?

"It's a bit convoluted, but I roughly understand. So, a personality with independent consciousness can also be counted as a viewer?"

[Yes.]

After receiving the System's confirmation, Beichen couldn't help but imagine a lively scene of the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Thunder, Vill-V, and even the Herrscher of Sentience gathering in the livestream room...

Oh, right! If the Herrscher of Sentience joined, it would definitely be lively here... Well, forget it. If that guy joined, he'd only be plotting how to turn this place into the Theater of Domination...

"Everyone, let's welcome our new viewer. I'm glad you could make it to my livestream. I'm a new streamer, the Clean-up Worker Who Does Splits. We're currently broadcasting the main story of Chapter 4 of the game Honkai Impact 3rd."

Beichen routinely introduced himself and the content of the livestream to the new viewer, attempting to communicate with Black Seele.

However, the other party's first sentence left him speechless.

"The Clean-up Worker Who Does Splits?"

"What's wrong?"

"Strange name." Black Seele critiqued him mercilessly.

"Ahahaha..."

Beichen forced a laugh, his forehead covered in sweat, and inwardly lamented that Black Seele was indeed Black Seele, a manifestation of what Seele's heart truly desired...

But with how blunt you are, aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for Seele!?

Oh, this is a livestream? Never mind then...

"In any case, welcome to my livestream, viewer. Let's continue watching the story."

After saying this, Beichen focused his attention on the screen.

At this moment, Theresa had finished introducing the basic situation of ME Corp and began discussing the changes that had occurred within the company.

[Later, Cocolia seized leadership from Raiden Ryoma. But Cocolia is a radical, an extremist, which is why she has repeatedly clashed with us.]

[This incident was also Cocolia's plan!]

With a few words, Theresa revealed the mastermind behind it all.

After her reminder, Kiana belatedly murmured to herself:

[Cocolia... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before?]

"What an idiot! You've encountered her so many times before, and you still haven't figured out who this person is."

Not long after Kiana spoke, a blood-red bullet comment floated by...

Seeing Black Seele's remark, Beichen retorted with some displeasure:

"To correct you. Not an idiot, but a paramecium."

"What do you mean? Explain it to me."

Chapter 51: Bronya Appears, the Fool Otto Says No More Tricks

Seeing this red bullet comment drift by, Beichen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Black Seele was indeed Black Seele. If it were Seele, she would probably stammer for a long time before daring to ask, but she... easily did something Seele wouldn't dare to do.

"Cough, then... let me explain to everyone. What comes to mind when everyone hears 'paramecium'?"

As this question was raised, an enthusiastic Archbishop in the livestream chat sent a reply: "A Paramecium is a very small, cylindrical protozoan. It's made of just one cell and is a unicellular protozoan, hermaphroditic. The most common is the Paramecium caudatum. Its body length is only 180 to 280 micrometers. It and amoebas have the shortest lifespans, measured in hours, with a lifespan of about a day and a night. However..."

"...Ah, no, uh, I don't think I said anything wrong, but something feels off? Wait, wait, I won't keep you in suspense any longer!"

Seeing that Otto was about to launch into a lengthy explanation, Beichen immediately interrupted.

"Actually, the reason for this nickname is... well, remember when we were all discussing problems in Chapter 3 of the main story? Because the suggestions were so outrageous, someone joked that even a paramecium wouldn't believe them."

"?" After hearing Beichen's explanation, Otto posed a soul-piercing question, "Just because of that?"

"Hm? Hehehe, what kind of explanation is that? How interesting! Hmm, from now on, I'll call her Paramecium."

"Calling her 'Chong Chong' feels more affectionate."

After replying to Black Seele, Beichen refocused his attention on the game.

At this moment, the game had already entered the actual gameplay interface.

Monsters began to spawn, and since it was the final wave, the stage even had flashing warning lights.

However, the difficulty of the revamped beginner stages had decreased exponentially.

The monsters had barely appeared and hadn't even had a chance to move twice before Ri Duck, Bailian, and Valkyrie Chariot annihilated them.

Normally, after Bronya showed off her skills, Seele in the livestream chat would be the first to praise her.

However, Seele didn't appear this time... which made Beichen feel a little awkward as he glanced at the chat list. He then found that Seele was still in the livestream? She just wasn't speaking...

So, if the secondary personality appears, does the main personality fall silent?

Ah, what a shame. I originally wanted to see Black Seele and White Seele talk to themselves. Now it seems that's not possible...

"Why aren't you moving? Someone is very interested in the outcome of this farce, don't disappoint us~"

While Beichen was daydreaming, a blood-red bullet comment floated across the screen.

Seeing Black Seele's urging, Beichen stopped wasting time and started playing the end-of-stage dialogue.

At this moment, Theresa and Kiana's avatars appeared on the combat screen.

[Siegfried!]

[Huh? Theresa, what are you talking about?]

Upon hearing Theresa's soft call, Kiana reacted and asked with some confusion.

[Ah, sorry. Seeing your back just now reminded me of the past... when I fought alongside your father.]

[You fought with Dad? Theresa, tell me more about him.]

Since the person involved had pleaded so earnestly, Theresa naturally wouldn't refuse.

Right there, in front of her daughter, she unleashed a volley of virtual criticism at Siegfried.

[He's a big idiot, never followed orders, and loved to charge into hordes of Honkai Beasts alone to show off. And his brain is messed up; he often couldn't even remember his own battleship's startup password. But... he did have a few good points...]

As she spoke the last part, it was unclear whether Theresa felt these things were inappropriate to say in front of Kiana, or if she genuinely meant them.

[Ah, forget it. Now is not the time to chat. I'll tell you after this mission is over.]

[Okay, it's a deal!]

After the two finished speaking, the story for the first stage of Chapter 4 concluded.

Beichen didn't waste any time and directly clicked "Enter Next Stage" to proceed.

As the stage began, Theresa and Himeko's conversation popped up on the screen.

[Ugh... still can't find a way in. This is a bit tricky now.**]

[We've been around ME Corp for too long. If we continue like this, we might be detected by Anti-Entropy forces. Let's retreat for now.**]

"Oh? You're retreating already? Hmph, how disappointing~"

After seeing Himeko suggest a retreat, a very blood-red bullet comment floated through the livestream chat...

However, before Black Seele's taunt could even finish floating, Kiana's avatar suddenly popped up.

[No! How can we just go back like this! I'm going back! Even if I'm the only one, I'm going to save Mei!]

[Kiana-chan, if you're too impulsive, you won't be able to do anything properly.**]

Seeing her junior not listening, Theresa, as the elder, had to start coaxing and persuading.

Although Beichen vaguely remembered this plot, seeing it again today made him have to sigh in relief that Kiana had asked Theresa.

If it were Archbishop Otto... he probably would have said "Good luck" and taken everyone away in minutes...

Fortunately, Theresa wasn't Otto, so she could tolerate Kiana's willfulness.

It was just a pity that Kiana at this moment didn't understand that willfulness always came with a price...

[Silly Kiana, don't be impulsive.**]

As Bronya's voice appeared, the entire livestream fell silent.

[Mmm... Eh... Bronya! Bronya, is that you?]

[ME Corp's security is extremely tight, but Bronya will take you inside.]

[That's great! We were just worrying about how to sneak in!]

After Kiana blurted this out, the only three viewers in the livestream all typed "..." onto the public chat.

"Do any of the viewers have anything they'd like to say?" Beichen, knowing the upcoming plot, didn't find anything wrong with it.

Theresa wouldn't let Kiana charge in alone anyway. If they really couldn't find a way in, she would just smash a path with Judah and charge in to rescue her.

Of course, this was the opinion of someone who had seen the script.

Other viewers, however, would simply find it somewhat unreasonable.

"Hehehe, how cute."

After praising Kiana's actions, Black Seele said with a dark humor, "So cute, it makes me want to see if she'll still be this naive if she's betrayed again..."

"...If it were Paramecium, she definitely would be,"

Beichen said slowly, looking at the blood-red bullet comment.

"Why?"

"Theresa already said it before, this is the Kaslana family's style. They'll do anything to protect others."

Not long after Beichen finished answering, Himeko-sensei, from the trio, suddenly spoke up to remind them:

[Wait! We can't trust her. It was because she was controlled before that Mei was captured. And why is she coming to find us at this point in time?]

Himeko's statement was very rational and reasonable. She might have already guessed it was a trap when she asked this question.

However, even when questioned, Bronya (controlled) still tried to move them with sincerity.
