I, the Memory Master, play with players in my hands

It was a battlefield filled with smoke and flames of war.

A jet-black sword light pierced the sky, and a huge star destroyer crashed down with a violent explosion! Flames rushed to the sky, and a sad and beautiful back gradually emerged.

"This is the Interstellar Peace Report. Recently, there have been several extremely severe attacks in a certain desolate galaxy. Many merchant ships passing through the galaxy..."

The heavy footsteps interrupted the intermittent broadcast.

The screen perspective switched from the first-person perspective of the pioneer to the first-person perspective of the owner of the back figure. She slowly turned around and looked at the pioneer in front of her, who was holding a baseball bat and ready to fight. Step by step, he walked slowly towards her/him.

"who are you?!"

Volume 1: Chapter 126: Dangerous Yuqing

"Tap...tap...tap..."

The heavy footsteps of military boots on the burning ground were audible. At this moment, all the background music stopped abruptly. The pioneer could only hear his/her own heartbeat. With intense fear and astonishment on his/her face, he/she stared at the enemy in front of him/her, and his/her hand holding the baseball bat began to tremble.

The black mist in the man's hand condensed into a long sword with murderous aura. The blade dragged on the ground leaving a hideous crack. The harsh metallic sound made the pioneer more and more nervous. The players who saw this scene in front of the screen also held their breath and concentrated. The tension in their hearts was maxed out.

Her footsteps became heavier, and along with her heavy breathing, an extremely familiar voice sounded:

"If anyone steps into [Tai C], he will either be a corpse or a cursed creature..."

"You, what are you?"

The Pioneer's pupils contracted violently, and she finally saw the face of the person through the thick black air - long hair like a waterfall, the blood-red hair at the end was flashing with blood light, her blood-red pupils and the blood-red lotus mark between her eyebrows made people feel cold all over, and her tattered skirt armor was constantly emitting strong evil spirit, which finally condensed on the long sword in her hand. The oppressive feeling like a tsunami made the Pioneer breathless, as if a killing god was standing in front of her!

And the [players] also saw the attacker’s face clearly through the pioneer’s sight.

Although this scene was highly consistent with the scene in the pioneers' nightmare at the beginning of the Luofu plot, and they had already guessed the identity of the black-haired woman in the dream, when they actually saw this person's face, they could not suppress the astonishment in their hearts - the attacker looked exactly like Yuqing!

“Shua――!!”

Without giving the Pioneer time to think, the long sword in "Hei Yuqing"'s hand flashed with black light and went straight to the Pioneer's throat. The moment the Pioneer retreated with difficulty, the whole world began to change!

The world began to spin, the direction of gravity was changed, and the pioneer's body fell uncontrollably! "Hei Yuqing" held a long sword and pressed forward towards the pioneer. In less than 10 seconds, the space was broken and reorganized many times, and different backgrounds kept switching and flashing back as if they fell into multiple illusions. When the illusion was completely broken, the pioneer could no longer support his heavy body and fell heavily to the ground.

The figure of "Hei Yuqing" gradually rose into the air. She hovered in mid-air, and the long sword in her hand automatically floated in front of her. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the pioneer who was unable to move below, and she also made a sword finger.

"I have a sword..."

"You can kill the Star God!"

The pitch-black long sword gradually turned into a giant sword that pierced the sky and the earth. The pioneer had no way to avoid it and could only face the sword that was stabbing towards him in almost despair!

"Buzz--"

A slender hand blocked the sword that was approaching.

"Oh my, you've really messed everything up."

[I'm so awesome! Such a strong sense of security sword.　

In the mirror-like shattered space, Yuqing's figure appeared. She blocked the God-Slaying Giant Sword with one hand, and a green light suddenly appeared in her hand! Qingping's long sword pierced straight out and instantly split the giant sword into pieces!

The next scene is a series of montages of Yuqing and "Black Yuqing" facing off.

Along with the mixed cut, there was a confession voice. Although Yuqing's voice and "Heiyuqing's" voice were exactly the same, based on the tone and content, one could immediately tell that these were the words of "Heiyuqing".

"I have been trapped here for more than six thousand years. I have paid too much! This time, I will make you pay with blood!"

At the end of the mixed cut, there is a scene of two Yuqing swords fighting each other, accompanied by bursts of sparks, and the screen goes black.

But it is not over yet.

The pioneer dragged his injured body and walked forward step by step. Not far away, Yuqing was holding the Qingping long sword in her hand and facing away from the pioneer without saying a word. The pioneer stopped about five meters away from Yuqing and spoke tentatively: "Sister Yuqing, you..."

Hearing the pioneer's voice, Yuqing slowly turned his head.

"I feel good now...

What the pioneers and players saw was a pair of blood-red eyes.

And... a grin that was almost insane.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

Yuqing's dynamic character portrait appeared on the screen, and a row of large, highlighted words below finally put to rest the various suspicions that players had after three versions.

Companion mission-perfect experience: Yuqing.

"This is...a fate you cannot avoid."

The picture was broken like a mirror. In the dimly-lit room, an elegant woman dressed as an astrologer took out one of the tarot cards in her hand and pushed it in front of the man in front of the exquisite table. The picture froze on the face of this tarot card for a few seconds. This tarot card with the "moon" on it was reflecting brilliant light.

A delicate hand wearing a blue jade bracelet picked up the tarot card.

"You are wrong about one thing. It's not that I can't escape my fate..."

"I chose my destiny."

The screen finally froze on Yuqing's smile which was the same as always. The live screen went black and the logo of "Honkai Impact 3rd" flashed by, bringing this preview live broadcast to an official end.

The live broadcast is just a stone thrown into a calm lake. When the live broadcast ends, the stone hits the lake, causing a series of turbulent waves.

[Fuck, I've waited for three versions and Yuqing's companions are finally here, but why does it look a little wrong? ]

[Be more confident, something is wrong! This wave of Mihuo is going to kill Yuqing! The last scene of the PV clearly shows that Yuqing has been possessed by another spirit?! ]

【Dang Yuqing Danger】

[It's impossible. Who is Yuqing? She is the strongest fighter under the Star God. She can even arm wrestle with the Star God without losing. She killed the Lord of Extinction in one move and forced Nanook to retreat alone. With such strength, you told her that she would be stabbed? In my opinion, this is probably another Salmon's trailer lie. Maybe the red-eyed Yuqing we saw at the end is someone else in disguise.]

[I hope it's true what you said. I got into Xingtie just because of Yuqing. I don't care about anyone else's salmon knife. If Yuqing is stabbed, I will cancel my account directly.]

[+1, but Lao Mi shouldn't be so suicidal, right? Yu Qing is definitely the most popular character in Star Iron right now. If such a popular character were to be killed, wouldn't Lao Mi be crushed? ]

[It's hard to say. There's no need to tell how popular Alicia is next door, right? Eternal Paradise was eventually chopped off. As long as Lao Mi did a good job of laying the groundwork, he wouldn't dare to chopped off the popularity of the game.]

[This is different. The Alicia we saw was a memory. She herself had died 50,000 years ago, so... it seems wrong? ]

[Fuck, Yuqing is also a memory! Didn’t she die 6900 years ago?!]

[Oh no, now that you've said that, I finally figured it out. Where did all these déjà vu come from? Yuqing and Alysia have completely overlapping attributes! They both died once, they're both memories, and they're both super popular characters... And they've never appeared at the same time, so Yuqing is Alysia! ]

[? No, if that's the case, wouldn't Yu Qing really be killed? No, she's the strongest in the universe, who can beat her? Even if Star God himself dies, Fu Li will still take action, right? ]

[What if, is there a possibility that Yuqing's enemy is herself? ]

[No, think carefully about the foreshadowings that were laid for Yuqing before, "she killed her own 'past'", so is there a possibility that she killed the past, but not completely, and now her past is coming for revenge? That Black Yuqing is her past? ]

[Besides, wasn't Hei Yuqing's last line "I have been trapped in the past six thousand years"? Doesn't this prove this point even more?! ]

[Oh no, if this is true, then both sides are Yuqing, one is Yuqing from 6900 years ago, and the other is Yuqing now. Judging from the PV, the strength of the two Yuqings is comparable! And in the end, Black Yuqing really won? Oh no, if the two Yuqings really fight, Fu Li will probably not intervene, right? ]

[Sister Yuqing! [crying.jpg]]

[yysy, if Hei Yuqing is really Yuqing from 6900 years ago, then according to the analysis of Yuqing's current state by those collapse scientists, if Hei Yuqing possessed Yuqing, wouldn't she have turned back into the real Yuqing? ]

[I don’t care, real Yuqing or fake Yuqing, the Yuqing who has been with us since the game was launched is the real Yuqing! Even if the Yuqing in the past is the real Yuqing, she is not our Yuqing! ]

[So, Sister Yuqing, you must win! ]

"It will win."

Declaration of victory after observing the memory!

Xianzhou Luofu, the center of Xingcha Sea, in an inn on the corner. Yuqing looked at the Cosmic Cube floating in front of her with a meaningful smile on her face.

She did nothing but observe the [memories] that had poured out one by one, and went over her plans in her mind - just as she thought, the real world had a certain "correction" function on the world she lived in, and her plans for the future were corrected by the function of this plane and turned into a PV in the preview live broadcast.

Of course, there were some things in this PV that were beyond her plan.

"This can be considered as another form of predicting the future." Yuqing smiled. Although she could control the curvature of space-time in the area, all she could really do was "pause" and "rewind". She could not control the future that had not yet happened.

"It doesn't matter. Everything is still proceeding steadily according to the original plan."

Although there may be some unexpected changes in the future, Yuqing doesn't care. Just like her answer to another rememberer - it has never been that she can't avoid her fate, she has always chosen her own fate.

Over the past six thousand years, Yuqing has planned countless events that are worthy of being recorded in history. In these countless events, she has never deviated from her original plan. Even the fact that she was shot half to death by a [Hunter] when she was an undercover agent was also a trap she set up. The feeling of controlling the overall situation made Yuqing feel a little bored. Now that there were unexpected variables, she was even a little excited.

This was also the reason why she was surprised at first and then delighted when she was stabbed by "Hei Yuqing" earlier, because from then on, the situation had changed.

"I hope you can bring me more fun." The world in Yuqing's eyes began to change. The space she was in gradually became a prism, and an empty chessboard appeared in front of her. She smiled, holding her chin with one hand, and a chess piece condensed in her hand, "I have always been manipulating the chess game by myself, which is somewhat boring."

"Only 'myself' is qualified to sit opposite me."

The chess piece in Yuqing's hand was suspended above the chessboard, but the moment she made her move, the ringing of a cell phone brought everything back to reality.

Yuqing called out her cell phone and narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the sender.

[Dan Heng: Ms. Yuqing, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you are free.]

"This little green dragon really came to find me." Yuqing smiled. She had indeed promised Danheng before that if Danheng had any trouble with [memory], he could ask her for help. However, she did not expect that Danheng would come to her so soon.

[Yuqing: I heard from Xing that you were taken to the Ten Kings Division. Are you released so soon?]

[Dan Heng: Yes, I just came out. I have some questions that I want to ask you.]

[Yuqing: Okay, no problem. Just tell me your time. I’m free right now.]

On the other end of the phone, Dan Heng, who had just returned to the train, looked at the reply from Yuqing on his phone, his expression became a little puzzled - he didn't expect Yuqing to agree so readily.

Dan Heng was actually the person who had the least interaction with Yuqing on the Starry Sky Train. Ji Zi and Yuqing had been friends for many years. When Yuqing was still a member of the train, she had traveled with Walter and the others. Not to mention Xing, who was Yuqing's main focus... Even March Seven was impressed by Yuqing because of the few times he spent time alone with her.

Dan Heng was the only one who had almost no contact with Yu Qing. Apart from a short experience of traveling together on the space station, there was only a conversation on the Luofu Dan Ding Division. Almost all he knew about Yu Qing came from the history he was familiar with.

After recovering his memory of death, Dan Heng also recalled some memories of his previous life, including the part where Dan Feng admired Yuanshi Tianzun immensely when he was young. However, these belated "childhood filters" were also shattered by his brief experience of traveling with Yuqing.

It cannot be said that Yuqing himself is completely consistent with what is recorded in history books, but it can be said that there is no connection at all.

Although Danheng tried very hard to look at Yuqing with the attitude of his previous life, when he saw the message Yuqing sent him, he felt that his childhood filter began to crumble again.

"Hey……"

With a long sigh, Dan Heng still sent out the next message.

[Dan Heng: I am on the train now]

[Yuqing: Wait, we'll be there in two seconds]

Volume 1: Chapter 127 Dan Heng: If you don’t abandon me…

Yuqing said it would arrive in two seconds, and in fact it really would arrive in two seconds.

When Dan Heng put down his phone and looked up, Yu Qing had already stepped directly into the observation car through the prismatic space, and she was already chatting and laughing with Ji Zi.

"Hi, Jizi, I haven't seen you for a while. Did you miss me?"

"Of course, I have to guard the train and have no chance to get off. Otherwise, I would have come to Luofu to find you in person." Ji Zi's face was gentle. She smiled and handed the freshly brewed coffee to Yuqing. "It's specially prepared for you. I added 10 sugar cubes."

"Then I'm welcome."

Yuqing took the coffee, and a chill rose in her hand, and the originally hot coffee instantly cooled down to room temperature. Yuqing drank half a cup of coffee in one gulp, savoring the taste of this "heavy sugar" coffee, thinking about it, and then drank the rest of the coffee in the cup. She raised her head, looked at Ji Zi seriously and said:

"You can add 10 more sugar cubes next time."

"Then I'll make you a cup of milk tea."

The relationship between Ji Zi and Yu Qing is still as good as ever.

Dan Heng thought to himself. He walked quickly towards the two people who were chatting and laughing, and bowed solemnly to Yuqing: "Ms. Yuqing, I..."

Before Dan Heng finished speaking, Yu Qing coughed twice to interrupt her. Dan Heng raised her head and saw Yu Qing waving her hand. She smiled and said the truth: "You have been troubled by Dan Feng's past and want to seek answers from me, right?"

Yuqing didn't even need to explore Danheng's inner thoughts. What could Danheng come to her for? It was nothing more than the bad karma from his previous life.

As expected, when Yuqing told the truth, Danheng's pupils shrank slightly. It was obvious that Yuqing had hit the nail on the head about his inner thoughts. He nodded heavily and did not continue speaking.

"Danheng, although we are not familiar with each other, we are still traveling together, so just let me do this." Yuqing said, she put down the coffee cup in her hand, smiled and glanced at Jizi, "Jizi, I'll trouble you to watch over us for a while."

Ji Zi understood what he meant, and sat on the sofa beside him and started grinding his own coffee. Dan Heng hadn't reacted yet, and he wanted to ask something, but Yu Qing had already raised her hand to his forehead.

"No need to say more, we'll meet again in [memory]."

Yuqing's voice rang directly in Danheng's mind. The voice was extremely ethereal and clear, as if it had the power of hypnosis. Danheng only felt that his eyes began to blur, and his consciousness seemed to fall into an ocean, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea...

"Snapped--"

The crisp sound of clapping hands made Dan Heng's consciousness surface. He suddenly came to his senses and looked around in horror - at this moment, he had already appeared in the Linyuan realm of the immortal boat [Luofu].

"Don't be nervous, relax, this is just a dream, a... brief, but meaningful [memory]."

Yuqing's ethereal voice gradually became fixed, and the space in front of Danheng's eyes began to gradually become mirrored. Yuqing's figure also emerged from the prism-like space.

"Ms. Yuqing..."

"Hush, be quiet." Yuqing made a silencing gesture to interrupt Danheng who was about to speak. She hovered on the stone steps, gazing at the rough sea from afar. A faint light flashed in her eyes. She exhaled deeply, "Please, listen to the sound of the sea."
