I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Thinking about it now, the decision to help Ye Ming hide the secret from Otto was the best decision Rita ever made.

···········

"What on earth is going on here?"

Coincidentally, that day happened to be the day when Tianming Technology Co., Ltd. released a new product.

As an aspect of online marketing, Otto also promotes its products on social networks.

Because it is a daily necessity, Otto wrote on the social media platform, "What you love is your life."

Then, a user named Tianming Shangdan left a message below: "Gotuo, when will you die?"

Countless people liked it, pushing it directly to the top of the post, and tens of thousands of replies afterwards were repeating this sentence.

It’s so that Otto can’t delete all the posts, can’t control the comments, and it’s useless even if the blacklist is full.

"Ye Ming! What are you doing again!"

An angry Otto called, but facing the question, Ye Ming just said calmly:

"I repeated what you did."

Otto said unhappily, "You, do you know how much of a bad influence you have brought to me? How will others see me in the future?"

Ye Ming was surprised and asked, "Huh? Don't you never care about other people's opinions?"

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly paused. Even without being in front of Otto, one could imagine his surprised expression.

"Do you know me so well?" Otto asked tentatively.

"I was forced to do so. To be honest, I don't really want to get to know you." There was a hint of gloom in Ye Ming's tone.

"Even if I don't need other people's evaluation, it's not a reason for you to belittle me."

"Then... I'll change my name? Change it to Gou Tuo, and then give you a new face?"

"You should have done this a long time ago."

It is this nickname "Gutuo" that makes Otto a little unhappy. After playing Honkai Impact 3rd for a long time, even he himself has begun to accept the nickname "Gutuo".

"Oh, well, then you'll see a pig-headed man named Gouto and Karen having a magnificent love affair."

"????"

Without waiting for Otto to speak, Ye Ming hung up the phone.

A moment later, he received a text message from Otto:

"Just do it as planned, don't change anything, don't play tricks."

··········

In the game, Kiana wakes up from a nightmare and wants to find something to drink.

But when she accidentally walked in front of the mirror, she found that it was Xilin's figure reflected in the mirror.

A moment later, Kiana was pulled into the Domination Theater again.

The puppets seemed fully prepared, and their laughter sounded as if they were sure of victory.

It seemed as if he had found something incredible that could deliver the most fatal blow to Kiana's heart.

308. Alicia: I tried my best, but I couldn’t hold it in

"Let me think...what should I call you?"

"Kiana? Experimental subject K423? Or... the Herrscher of the Void, Silin?"

The puppet meeting was held again, but this time, it was more like a court of justice than a theater.

The person being judged is Kiana who is standing in the middle.

"Hehehe! Her name is not Kiana at all, she is Experiment K423!"

"How pitiful! Even the name is stolen~"

"She also made that man named Siegfried lose everything"

"He lost his daughter to save you, and raised you despite past grudges, but you cut off his arm and shamelessly called him dad!"

"You can't control yourself, and you refuse to be locked up obediently, so your friends are left homeless!"

"You said you wanted to fight for all the good in the world, but you killed your own teacher with your own hands!"

"You hurt your best friend and made her go to such a dangerous place just for you!"

"You are evil, you are a sinner!"

Even though they were separated by a screen, and even though the puppets were not talking about themselves, the players who witnessed all this could still feel it...

Kiana's wounds, which had not yet healed, were being torn open in the most brutal way, and the stitches were being pulled out one by one.

[I just had surgery, I shouldn’t be watching this! ]

[Blood pressure is rising, just measured high pressure 150]

[Qianlu is competing with Otto for who was born first, right? ]

"I've heard enough of your nonsense. It's time to end this ridiculous trial!"

Fortunately, Kiana's defense was not broken, and her growth along the way has made her much stronger.

"You can't confuse me. I won't give in, and I won't despair!"

Hearing Kiana's decision, the puppets pretended to be disappointed and said:

"Hey... We even specially played the memory of the Second Herrscher again, but you are not touched at all? Aren't you ashamed?"

Kiana suddenly understood: "That dream...it turned out to be your doing!"

Even so, she did not panic, but declared:

"It's useless. I still have many people around me who trust and support me. Don't try to shake me with these words!"

"Hehehe~~" the puppet mocked, "Trust? Support?"

"I am protecting you and indulging you, right?"

While Kiana was still trying to refute, the puppets pressed the issue:

"Have you ever thought about whether it was Ji Zi or Cecilia, when they saved Xilin and saved you, did they consider other people in the world?"

"You are obviously a Herrscher, the greatest enemy of humanity. You will make countless people in the world live in fear."

"No, they didn't think about those people. They left behind thousands of innocent lives and chose to save you, a hopeless sinner, a bomb that could explode at any time... hehehe!"

"Bah! Selfishness is nothing but the self-satisfaction of a hypocrite!"

[Shut up, you bastard!]

[How dare you comment on Cecilia and Himeko?! ]

[I declare that Qianlu's birth level is now higher than Otto's! ]

[As hateful and disgusting as the internet trolls]

[The Ruler of Thousands? The Ruler of Tieba! ]

[How much krypton can I use to tear these dolls apart? Name your price]

[Hurry up and give me some of Qianlu’s peripherals. I want to buy them wholesale and use them as sandbags.]

The blasphemy against Ji Zi not only stepped on the players' minefield, but also touched Kiana's reverse scale.

She just yelled, "Enough!"

"Oh? Are you angry? You don't allow me to judge your companions?"

Seeing Kiana's reaction, the puppets all laughed, "She's anxious! She's anxious!"

They all made "乆乆乆" gestures and said:

"Don't get me wrong, we know you've been through a lot along the way, and no matter what we say, it's hard to shake your will."

"But we also know that even if you are like this, you still have unfinished regrets and a void that is difficult to fill."

"We know everything about you, your heart, your torment."

"You clearly know that it is impossible for an ordinary person to survive in the imaginary space, but you still deceive yourself over and over again~~"

"You know that in addition to Anti-Entropy, Destiny and the World Serpent are all looking for the Plague Gem, but they have found nothing so far."

"You already knew the truth in your heart, but you just didn't want to admit it, and you even lied to yourself by saying "I will definitely bring you back." "

Hearing this, Kiana's heartstrings trembled and her eyes widened: "What?"

Seeing her panic, the puppet immediately laughed triumphantly:

"Look, look, we haven't even said who it is yet, but you know it very well~"

"She... is the most vulnerable part of your heart, the scar that will never heal!"

"Even if you say you won't waver, but when the facts are before you, can you really remain indifferent?"

“But when that moment comes, can you still believe the beauty you said?”

"It's time to stop deceiving yourself~ It's time to reveal the exciting truth~"When hope falls into despair, what kind of expression will you show?"

“Hehehe! Come on, come on, the climax of the show ~ let’s take a good look at it!!”

As Kiana looked incredulous, the puppet took out a red gem.

"How is it? Looks familiar, right?"

"Do you remember who had it? Do you know why it's here?"

Kiana struggled and said, "Plague... Gem...?"

Seeing her in great pain, the puppet laughed excitedly:

"Yes, yes! Tell me the answer in your heart~~!"

"Murata Himeko... is already dead~~!"

At that moment, everyone who had played here, including Alicia, felt their hearts skip a beat.

Padu and the others widened their eyes in surprise, while Eden's breathing even became a little disordered.

[What happened to Teacher Himeko? ]

[Dead? Can't come back? Don't do it! ]

[Are you trying to break Qibao's defense? You're clearly trying to break mine! ]

The players' hearts were in their throats, but Kiana...

After a brief moment of astonishment and panic, her expression became firm again.

Seeing that Kiana did not collapse as he had imagined, Qianli Doll shouted in dissatisfaction:

"Hello? Are you deaf or don't you understand what people say?"

"Murata Himeko is dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead! Did you hear that?"

[Why is this guy so mean? Can he kill them? ]

[Tieba Herrer! Come! Let me kill you a thousand times! It won’t be enough!]

"By the way, you don't think this gem is fake, do you? Okay, then let me let you experience its real power."

After saying this, the Thousand Herrscher used the power of the Plague Gem to summon a group of Honkai beasts.

"Hahaha... Feel it for yourself. This is the power that your beloved teacher has used~"

"You know what? When we found it, this gem was drifting alone in the imaginary space~"

"How strange~ Shouldn't it be embedded in the True Crimson Armor? Shouldn't it be worn on her? Where is the owner who was with it?"

The weird puppet was not only mocking, but also rubbing salt into Kiana's wounds.

Unlike the playful tone and intonation, the viciousness in the puppet's words is simply heart-wrenching.

"Hahaha! In fact, you have always known that, right? She was already dead that day! Yes! She was killed by your own hands!"

"She is just a mortal. It is impossible for her to escape from the imaginary space. She can't even maintain her own existence~!"

"But you refuse to accept all this! You are still fantasizing that someone can save her, fantasizing about an impossible miracle, and fantasizing that this can make up for your unforgivable sins!!"
