Scrolling through short videos and seeing embarrassing moments, has even the Mi Home ecosystem broke

However, while it's certainly sad that the story of Xing and Liuying ended so tragically, what's more important is...

"The story of Firefly and Star was revealed so early... Star has probably already seen all of this."

Silver Wolf frowned, losing all interest in chewing his bubble gum, and looked at Kafka, asking her:

Will this have any impact on the future?

"...I'm not sure, I'll have to ask Elio."

Kafka also pinched her chin, a hint of uncertainty in her expression, her brows slightly furrowed, annoyed by the sudden exposure of the light screen.

"No character in the script knows what will happen in the future so early, but this light screen..."

"Our plans will likely need to be changed."

Kafka felt as if fate was playing a cruel joke on them.

The Star Core Hunter's plan was disrupted by the content suddenly revealed on the light screen, and it could even be said that he was thrown into complete disarray.

"However, this light screen didn't reveal any more details. Regarding the fireflies... Xing probably still has many unanswered questions."

Kafka gently bit her lip, carefully recalling the content played on the screen; it was all just Star and Firefly playing in Pinocchio.

The origins of the Firefly, why it was targeted by the [Memory Realm Meme], and why it died in front of the Star remain unexplained.

While the Star Core Hunters were fretting about the script being leaked, the students at St. Freya Academy seemed to understand Otto's pain.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Starting Over to Make Up for Liu Ying's Regret

"As long as the most critical parts are not exposed, everything is fine."

Although Kafka said this, who knows if the light screen will once again playfully reveal all the details, even the cause and effect, all at once.

If the script is exposed to the public like this, then every carefully planned move will lose its purpose, and how can Xing be guided to become the key figure in the script?

So Kafka and Silver Wolf quickly contacted Elio, asking him to find the script as soon as possible, in case the light curtain disrupted their plans again and they were caught off guard and unable to cope.

Meanwhile, inside St. Freya Academy

Kiana clenched her fists, the scene flashing before her eyes of Himeko's selfless sacrifice—the only [God-Slayer Spear]—injecting it into her body to save her in this "Last Lesson."

Because she couldn't overcome Sirin's consciousness, because Sirin seized control of her body, because of her weakness and incompetence...

That's why Celine, with her body and face, goes around committing evil deeds and hurting the family and friends she cherishes.

Mei's Conquest Gem was stolen by Sirin, injuring her heart; Aunt Theresa, Bronya, and Class Monitor Fu Hua were all defeated by Sirin and then choked and humiliated...

Aunt Himeko is even more...

Kiana gritted her teeth; she hated her own weakness!

……

Although Bronya and Theresa were eagerly watching the screen hoping to see another "self" in a cool and memorable scene, they were naturally drawn in by witnessing this touching story firsthand.

Bronya needs no introduction; she was once her best friend, Seele's sister...

Because of her ignorance and helplessness, she didn't even know where Seele had gone.

The kind little sister who used to watch the stars with her at the orphanage vanished without a trace when Bronya wasn't looking, leaving no possibility of tracking her down.

Bronya is still searching for Seele's whereabouts, but despite all these years, she still hasn't been able to find a single clue.

Bronya hated herself for being like this, powerless to stop even the sudden disappearance of a friend who was right next to her.

She was thus able to understand how sorrowful the star in the picture was.

Although they have lost the ability to control their facial expressions, their emotions cannot be hidden.

Bronya clenched her fists secretly, while Theresa gripped the oath of Judah beside her even tighter.

As the former S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal and the headmistress of St. Freya Academy, Theresa failed to appear in either the Second Honkai Impact or in the future growth journeys of Kiana and Mei...

Despite being an elder, she was unable to help her students and her niece, which made Theresa especially hate herself!

That's why she so desperately wanted to gain power, even the power of a terrifying being like a Herrscher, even if it came at a price...

That's why Theresa hoped to see a cooler version of herself on the screen; she wanted to be a cool person who could protect her loved ones...

…………

"Alright, alright... Kiana, Headmistress Theresa... that star will definitely find a way to save Firefly, stop crying..."

Mei was having a hard time hugging Kiana and Theresa, those two white-haired idiots from Kaslana...

Mei had to comfort them while wiping away their tears, and also endure them smearing their snot on themselves...

However, Mei herself felt a lump in her throat and her nose stung, feeling especially sad about the story of Hoshi and Ryuki.

In Mei's eyes, the story of Firefly and Star is somewhat similar to her own story with Kiana.

Despite the differences in many places, the same sense of "touching" and "lucky" exists.

In the final stage of the firefly's life, during what is likely her last dream, she is able to encounter the star when she is in trouble, play with the star, watch shooting stars, and take a photo with it...

In order to avoid a scenario like the one depicted in the scene where she was powerless to save someone important because of her own weakness, Mei gritted her teeth secretly.

She had to become stronger, she had to have the ability to protect the person she cared about, she had to protect this person who was incredibly lucky to her.

Just like what was shown on the screen earlier, in order to save Kiana, she in the future had to join World Serpent and say goodbye to Kiana.

Even if it means parting ways with Kiana, even if it means personally beating Kiana up, she has to do it.

Compared to the temporary grief of parting with Kiana, Mei was even more unwilling to see Kiana die because of her weakness and powerlessness.

The greatest sorrow is the grief of never being able to see Kiana again.

……

As a teacher and elder, Himeko viewed things from the perspective of someone who had been through it all. Although she didn't recognize the star in the light screen, seeing her story with the child named Ryuki evoked the same heartache in her as an elder.

Himeko believes she has the right to understand the feelings of Hoshino, who witnessed the firefly die before her eyes.

Captain Ragnar, who once led her into Schicksal and made her a warrior, also died because of her powerlessness...

Fortunately, in the future, she fulfilled her duties as a teacher and successfully brought Kiana back...

……

Fu Hua, needless to say, came from the previous civilization era fifty thousand years ago. Although she had witnessed far too many partings and deaths, and the passing of too many loved ones over the long course of time...

Although the memories were sealed within the Feather Dust, and although a large portion of them served as fuel for the Void Sword God during the Second Honkai Impact, but...

Seeing someone important die in her arms because of her own powerlessness, Fu Hua was still deeply moved.

Whether in the previous civilization era 50,000 years ago or in the civilization era in which she awoke, Fu Hua has personally experienced these things throughout the long years.

Despite her growing strength over time and gaining sufficient experience, Fu Hua was still unable to change this situation.

She could only silently continue to grow stronger, hoping that one day such things would never happen again.

Fu Hua offered her blessings to that star.

…………

After witnessing the story of Star and Firefly, everyone can more or less understand how Otto persevered for five hundred years.

If Otto had also shared such an unforgettable relationship with Karen five hundred years ago…

No, they witnessed firsthand the budding of Otto and Karen's feelings for each other.

During Otto's miserable childhood, when he was humiliated and bullied by his older brother, it was Karen who gave him hope and light, allowing him to emerge from those dark days.

The radiant Karen brought joy to Otto, just as the star brought care to the firefly before its death.

Although using the term "end-of-life care" to describe it is a bit inappropriate...

But without a doubt, Star is to Firefly what Kallen is to Otto, except that one is the one who was redeemed but died tragically, while the other is the one who generously sacrificed himself to redeem more people.

If they were to witness firsthand the important people around them as depicted in the story on the screen, would they be able to uphold their long-cherished wish for five hundred years like Otto?

They weren't sure if they had the ability to extend their lives for another five hundred years, but they certainly had that determination.

However, theoretical knowledge is ultimately insufficient. Only Otto, who had truly experienced the long journey of five hundred years and relentlessly searched for a way to revive Kallen, could truly understand that feeling.

And the star in the light screen...

After witnessing Ying die in her arms, did she have the ability to bring Ying back from the brink of death?

Everyone at St. Freya Academy was eagerly anticipating the scene and hoped that the image of Xing Wan returning to Liu Ying would appear on the light screen.

………………

………………

While everyone at St. Freya Academy was praying, Otto at the Destiny Headquarters silently tapped his desk as he watched the story of Star and Firefly on the light screen.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he found his own and Karen's shadows in the story of fireflies and stars.

However, the departed firefly was the one who was saved, just like him.

Otto quite liked the story and was equally curious to see how the star could change this tragic ending.

Although the rules of that world are unknown, it seems that Xing possesses an extremely terrifying power within him. What role will the power of the [Star Core] play in Xing's hands? Will it be able to save Liu Ying...?

Wait and see.

Otto had another point of interest—

Those are the many mysteries surrounding Liu Ying.

Why would someone seek help from a passing star when they are in trouble? Why would they suffer from entropy loss? Why would they appear in that empty hall? And why would they attract such a terrifying beast?

This series of mysteries has no cause and effect, no clues, and trying to speculate on it is basically just wishful thinking from beginning to end.

But Otto, a cunning old fox who had schemed for five hundred years, sensed a conspiracy.
