Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

When Su Xiaoran pushed open the office door, Yang Qian was frowning at a report.

"Director Yang, the viewership data for 'Ultraman Dyna' from last week is out, and the discussion in the comments section is 40% higher than usual."

"The first-week data for Fate/Zero and Shugo Chara! is also—"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door was pushed open.

The person who pushed open the door was none other than himself.

These are the three core technical personnel from the Land of Light's game development department.

Zhao Jiu, Zhou Mingrui, Liu Rui.

All three of them looked conflicted.

It's like encountering some kind of perplexing situation.

"Director Yang,"

Zhao Jiu spoke first, his tone tinged with helplessness, "There's a problem with Honkai Impact 3rd."

Yang Qian raised an eyebrow slightly.

"What's wrong? Did the server crash?"

Zhao Jiu shook his head.

"Are players leaving?"

Zhou Mingrui also shook his head.

"What is that?"

"On the contrary."

Liu Rui continued the conversation.

"The number of online players continues to grow, and the paid data remains stable. Everything is normal."

"All indicators are normal, and some data are even rising."

Yang Qian's fingers stopped.

"So what's the problem?"

Zhou Mingrui sighed, took his phone out of his pocket, opened a page, and placed it in front of Yang Qian.

That was a well-made player-created strategy guide website.

The Wiki is titled "Honkai World".

The homepage displays the logo of "Honkai Impact 3rd".

The label next to it reads "Unofficial, player-maintained".

The number in the click count column is astonishingly high.

And in the most prominent position on the homepage, there is a line of large text—

[Anti-Knife Warning - Honkai Impact World Story Analysis - Knife Index Ranking]

Yang Qian scrolled down the page.

The first item on the leaderboard:

[S-level Warning: The Mystery of the Destiny Stigmata]

Analysts point out that the "Stigmata" setting text that appears repeatedly in the game contains a large number of vague terms.

Furthermore, it is highly similar to the narrative logic of the "Human Instrumentality Project" in "EVA".

This aligns with the Land of Light's consistent style of "the more mysterious the setting, the deeper the cut."

It is speculated that Kiana's background may involve some devastating truth.

Knife Index: Five stars.

Article :

[Level A Warning: Conspiracy Theories of Entropy Reversal]

The technology tree of the Anti-Entropy organization has multiple abnormal nodes.

In particular, Bronya's personal storyline has a 0.02% character overlap with the witch text in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

The suspicion is foreshadowing.

Knife rating: 4.5 stars.

Article 3: [Level A Warning - Himeko's Medical Examination Report].

There is a hidden text file in the game that can be picked up; it contains Major Himeko's medical examination report data.

Several of these indicators were deliberately obscured.

Analysts cited examples ranging from Clannad to Your Lie in April...

The fate of characters who have "abnormal medical examinations" in all Land of Light works.

The conclusion is: none escaped unscathed.

Knife Index: Four Stars.

Scrolling further down, there are more than a dozen more entries.

Each entry includes detailed textual quotations, plot comparisons, and logical deductions.

There are even horizontal comparisons with previous works from the Land of Light.

Its rigor is comparable to that of a graduation thesis.

Yang Qian returned the phone to Zhou Mingrui and remained silent for a moment.

Then he laughed.

"This wasn't issued by our official channels, so what does it have to do with me?"

The three technical directors were stunned at the same time.

They had prepared a lot to say.

What do you mean by "this will affect players' expectations for the subsequent storyline"?

What do you mean by "it's hard to create an emotional impact if the plot is spoiled"?

What, "Should we issue a statement to clarify?"

They even made a bet in private about how long Director Yang would remain silent after hearing the news.

He laughed.

"Director Yang," Liu Rui asked tentatively, "you mean... just ignore it?"

"What do you care?"

Yang Qian spoke in a relaxed tone.

"The players' enthusiasm shows that the storyline is well-written."

"They spontaneously discuss and produce content; this is the best ecosystem."

"Have you ever seen a game where players voluntarily create websites to conduct text analysis?"

The three exchanged a glance.

I don't think I've ever seen it before.

"As long as the game quality and story depth can be maintained."

Yang Qian picked up her pen again, saying, "Let them analyze if they want."

"By the way, is next week's update ready?"

Zhao Jiu straightened his back: "The third version of the event script has been tested, the values ​​have been balanced, and there is no overflow."

"The CG rendering is complete."

Yang Qian nodded: "That's good."

His smile remained gentle.

The three exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Then, they tacitly quickened their pace to leave.

Zhao Jiu lowered his voice and spoke.

"How long do you think the player-run knife warning association can hold out?"

Zhou Mingrui thought for a moment, "We'll see."

Liu Rui: "I have a more serious question: Will the three of us be cyberbullied by gamers in the future?"

Su Xiaoran watched the three technical supervisors leave.

Suddenly I found it a little funny.

"Director Yang, when you said you had nothing to do with them, your expression was very sincere."

Yang Qian picked up her teacup.

"That's the truth. What they guessed is completely different from what I wrote."

Su Xiaoran nodded, feeling as if she had been shot in the knee.

Having followed Yang Qian for so long, she understood all too well the true meaning behind her boss's words.

The player guessed the direction of the knife, specifically direction A.

Yang Qian wrote about the Z direction.

"and."

Yang Qian took a sip of tea, her expression calm.

"Honkai Impact is a game about fighting for a better world, so there are no knives involved."

Meanwhile, the Honkai Impact 3rd Wiki forum.

Besides various character guides and fan works, the post also contains a variety of other content.

The most discussed topic is which characters might get hurt.

After all, it's an old tradition in the Land of Light.

"Kiana, right? Her background is clearly problematic."

A user with the ID "[Leader of the Moonlight Knights]" wrote this.

"Based on the current text, her mother's identity is shrouded in mystery, her father's whereabouts are unknown, and her own combat power is pitifully weak in her unawakened state."

The standard tragic protagonist setup. Don't forget the old tradition of the Land of Light: how many reincarnations did Homura Akemi go through in *Puella Magi Madoka Magica*?

There were people downstairs who objected.

"I think it's Bronya."

The poster's ID is 【Ural Silver Wolf】.

The profile picture is a fan art of Bronya.

"Do you remember Rei Ayanami from 'EVA'? A girl with no emotions, no background, and used as a tool."

"This setting overlaps with Bronya's by a whopping 80%."

"The Land of Light in 'Honkai Impact' clearly pays homage to classic works. Everyone knows Rei Ayanami's ending, and Bronya will probably do the same..."

"Shut up! Don't you dare curse my wife!"

"Wake up, upstairs. Bronya is my wife."

"Holding Mei tighter, trembling, Mei seems relatively safe for now, right? After all, her role is senior student + cooking expert + emotional support, this kind of character usually doesn't..."

"Stop right there! We've already set all the flags! Don't say another word!"

Then, an ID called "[Older Anime Fan]" made a comment.

His post contained only one sentence, yet it instantly silenced several floors of the thread.

"Actually, is it possible that it could be Himeko?"

After a brief silence, the responses exploded in exponential growth.

"??? Shut up!"

"Himeko?! She's the strongest mature woman, okay?! Himeko Murata, Captain of the Hyperion, an A-rank Valkyrie, she's withstood countless battles!"

"From the character's setting, Himeko is indeed the kind of mentor who burns herself out to illuminate others..."

"Her previous CGs included details of alcoholism. Generally speaking, characters who use alcohol to numb themselves usually have a lot of problems behind them."

"Medical examination report! Do you guys remember that medical examination report? Someone unpacked it!"

"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!"

"If Himeko is gone, I'll uninstall the game right now."

"Land of Light, did you hear me! If you touch Himeko, I'll... I'll beg you to stop killing her, sob sob sob."

The post was scrolled down dozens of times.

People are starting to compile lists of security roles.

But for each of the columns, someone jumped out to refute it.

In the end, everyone came to a despairing conclusion.

In the game of the Land of Light, no character is absolutely safe.

The title of the special column was quietly changed by the administrator.

[Honkai Impact 3rd - Preventative Psychological Development Building - Regularly Updated Knife Warning Index]

A line was added to the description.

"This post only provides theoretical analysis; the actual plot is subject to official updates."
