In Siberian Duck's livestream.
The cutscene ended at the moment of the explosion. After everyone caught Jiang Yu's body as it was sent back, the player could already move their character freely.
But on the livestream, Stelle, who was supposed to be controlled by the player, had stood in place for almost ten minutes. Throughout that time, Siberian Duck had not touched the controls at all.
This online "bro" seemed to be sitting in her chair, staring blankly without a sound, her brain completely frozen.
Only the chat scrolled rapidly:
[Danxin Hengjiu: Little Fish is gone!]
[Alice of the Lost Kingdom: That was way too sudden. Little Fish just rushed up there?]
[I Fell in Love with Jumping Slash: Wait... didn't they say everything was accounted for? Why did someone still have to sacrifice himself?]
[Entrust My Remaining Life to Rivers and Seas: Exactly. That's the reaction.]
[Wind Boy Solo Fan: "Only Silence Remains"]
[Jumping Slash Immortal's Dog: Delicious, absolutely delicious!]
Finally, after another few minutes, the character on the screen moved.
After she took half a step forward, the viewers heard someone blowing her nose hard.
"No... why... no... how could this... sniff..."
Siberian Duck's voice grew more nasal. She kept repeating those few broken phrases, seemingly still in shock.
The character on the game screen spun in circles on the spot.
Dozens of seconds passed, and Siberian Duck fell silent again. Seemingly having finally made up her mind, she guided her character forward and began interacting.
She went to Jing Yuan first:
"This Xianzhou general, a master strategist, remained silent. He glanced at you, and in those flickering golden eyes, you read a heaviness and pain.
"At that moment, your heart suddenly clenched, and you instinctively raised a hand to your chest. Neither you nor Jing Yuan spoke."
