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

【Front row cover treasure】

[The video is only one minute long, but it’s ok]

[I already said it was a preview easter egg]

The first scene that appears in the video is a completely burned forest.

In this wasteland, corpses piled up into mountains, and the freely flowing blood dyed rivers red.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a sea of ​​blood and corpses. It was so tragic that people dared not even bring their mobile phone screens close to it.

There were no modern facilities, vehicles or guns here, and rusty swords and spears were scattered everywhere next to the corpses.

The most frightening thing is that... the entire earth is covered with a black filth.

Scavengers that originally pecked at the corpse would die immediately after touching these filth and become part of the corpse.

"Ha ha……"

In this ominous place where even crows dare not stop, Ye Ming, covered in blood, is struggling forward amidst a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

With every step forward, the black filth would linger at his feet, wriggling and twisting, trying to devour Ye Ming's body.

"Dirty things..."

Ye Ming spread his wings of light and used the energy of collapse to violently tear apart all the filth that approached him.

But his attack not only failed to cleanse the filth from the land, but instead made the black matter more active.

The black mud that continued to gushed out like magma condensed together and formed a terrifying black wave that was about to swallow Ye Ming.

"Damn it!"

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Ye Ming had no choice but to escape, but the black filth kept chasing him.

At this critical moment, Ye Ming could only jump towards the cliff...

After putting some distance between himself and the black filth, he immediately activated his ability to travel across dimensions and eventually fell into the quantum sea.

As he slowly sank, countless people's voices echoed in his mind:

"The creatures on that land are in your hands."

"You clearly said that you would protect your sister."

“You can’t save everyone.”

"Make your choice."

“No one was spared from that disaster.”

"Choosing some people means giving up others."

The sounds became increasingly chaotic and harsh, until they combined into one sentence:

"Ye Ming...who is more important to you?"

85. Mihoyo: Oh no, I’m a stand-in

"Ye Ming...who is more important to you?"

When this soul-searching question echoed in Ye Ming's mind, bloody scenes also emerged.

There are those who collapse because of the loss of their loved ones and throw themselves into the fire to dispel the darkness.

There are people who lost themselves in the killing and died madly in order to protect the people.

Some people use themselves as bait for darkness in order to protect the lives of countless people...

Even if they are torn into pieces by abominable creatures, they can only beg for mercy from the disaster with great pain.

"Ye Ming...who is more important to you?"

The voice that had been nagging at my ears turned into a repetition of one sentence.

The same question invaded Ye Ming's heart over and over again, tearing at his soul.

The scene became increasingly bloody, until it became impossible to see clearly.

In the blur, all I can see are promises that can never be fulfilled and people that I can never wait for.

And in the very end, two ethereal and illusory figures surrounded Ye Ming.

Because the picture was dim, the faces of the two girls could not be identified. One could only see that one of them was bleeding and the other was crying.

"Ye Ming...who is more important to you?"

Although everything in the quantum sea is dim and blurry, at this moment, only Ye Ming's eyes are exceptionally clear under the close-up shot.

All the audience could see that the eyes, which were once like black pearls and could sparkle with a blazing light, were becoming dull and lifeless until they completely lost their luster.

Afterwards, after an unknown amount of time had passed in that space, Ye Ming, who was curled up, met another girl who was also trapped there.

The girl who met in this strange way was Xier.

[This one-minute trailer contains too much information]

[It turns out that Xi'er's role is here]

[Where was the tragic battlefield at the beginning? ]

[It doesn't feel like a scene from Honkai Impact 3rd]

[That black mud is so disgusting, it gives me goosebumps]

[Ye Ming is so miserable, he almost died every time]

[Why do I feel like I can’t even keep my “life” this time?]

[Indeed, I feel like Ye Ming’s eyes are dead]

"I feel like... this scene looks familiar?"

After the video ended, Zhen, who put her face intimately against Ye Ming's face, looked at the picture on the phone with a thoughtful expression.

"Why are you coming here?" Ye Ming asked curiously.

"Because you are holding my phone?"

Zhen explained very calmly that she was so focused on watching the video that she could only see it clearly by keeping this posture.

only……

The video had clearly ended, but she, leaning in Ye Ming's arms, still had no intention of getting up and leaving.

"Which scenes in the video do you think are familiar?"

"Hmm~"

Shin put his fingers on his soft face and said while searching his memory:

"Just the tragic part at the beginning, and also..."

"Does the voice lingering in your ears sound a bit like mine and Ying's voice?"

"..."

Ye Ming was silent for a while, then commented:

"Not like."

"That's right, it seems it was just my illusion."

Zhen accepted this very quickly.

"After all, in this peaceful era, even natural disasters are rare. Where can we find such a tragic battlefield?"

As for the sound, it's hard to be sure because there is some interference in the video.

"Just do your thing first, I'll take care of this."

"Ye Ming..."

Zhen asked worriedly:

"You seem to be in low spirits?"

"what……"

Ye Ming rubbed his brows and sighed:

"I just finished reading my own book, and I was dragged out by the fan fiction author to be used as a gun, and the gun was pointed at Mihoyo and the place where I work..."

"Do you think I can laugh now?"

"..."

I really don’t know how to comfort Ye Ming. After all, ordinary people will never experience such an experience in their lifetime.

"Okay, leave me alone for a while."

"Well, if you need help, feel free to call us."

After seeing Zhen off, Ye Ming watched the more than one-minute video and kept massaging his scalp to relieve his worries.

——It’s okay, Ye Ming, you have even read your own notebook, are you still afraid of these?

——Besides, everyone has seen you breaking down many times, so there’s no need to feel ashamed.

"What kind of comfort is this?"

Ye Ming slumped down on his desk and fiddled with it listlessly for a while.

Then, a sense of crisis stimulated him to raise his head.

He rushed out of the office and said to everyone:

"Everyone, let's start the meeting now!"

············

Because the matter happened suddenly, Ye Ming did not have time to prepare the PPT, so after everyone arrived at the meeting room, he was still preparing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the girls took out their mobile phones and watched the one-minute video that the UP host had posted before.

"So before that reunion, Ye Ming encountered such a terrible thing?"

Bronya was the most touched by this video. Although she did not appear in the trailer, she and Seele were both involved to a "certain degree" in the following story.

Whether it was the scene in her memory or the video at this moment, Bronya still felt heartbroken when she saw those dull and lifeless eyes.

"Bronya, what happened during this period? Where was that tragic battlefield? And that pile of black filth..."

"I am not sure."

Bronya shook her head.

"When Xi'er and I left the Quantum Sea, Ye Ming was not with us."

"I don't know what happened to him before or what happened to him after we separated."

After saying this, Himeko and Bronya both showed sad expressions.

Others might regard this video as a fan creation, but Himeko and Bronya know that all of this really happened.

Ye Ming, who sank into the quantum sea, looked like a corpse soaked in formalin from the video...

What kind of despair would make the usually resolute Ye Ming become like that?

On the one hand, they really want to know the story, but on the other hand, they can't bear to know it.

"Okay, listen to me, I know you're still thinking about that video, but I have something more important to talk to you about right now."

Ye Ming clapped his hands, signaling everyone to concentrate.

"Soon, we will launch our second game, which will be the new game after Honkai Impact 3rd."

Ye Ming turned on the projector and pulled out the icon of Genshin Impact.

"We're going to release the preview PV today, and it will be officially launched this weekend."

"Why so sudden?"

“That fan video has borrowed elements from Genshin Impact.”

Ye Ming said helplessly:

"If we don't release new games, the UP host will become the original creator, and we will become the secondary creator."
