[Little Gui's Livestream]
Three minutes until the update of "Honkai: Star Rail"!
Guinaifen had already bathed and changed.
Sitting in front of the livestream camera.
...
"Open the gates!"
"I can't wait!"
"Xianzhou soars, the Cloud Knights will triumph!"
"I'm dying to see how Hoolay meets his end!"
"Hoolay is definitely dead, but he might have done something before dying that triggered Feixiao's lunar frenzy early."
"Jingliu: Children, I'm back!"
"After this battle, Jing Yuan will retire as a general. If I'm right, call me a prophet."
"I have a feeling a key character might die in this storyline…"
"Case solved! Feixiao released Jingliu, which is why Huaiyan said she betrayed the alliance."
"Good heavens, History Fictionologists…"
...
The moment the clock struck the hour.
Little Gui immediately sat up!
[Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue]
[Trailblaze Continuance Begins]
"It's here, everyone!"
"Let me see…"
"The mission's starting point is… Central Starskiff Haven!"
Opening the mission tracker.
"The mission summary states that after the prison break, both Dan Heng and I have escaped from The Shackling Prison."
"But Hoolay's whereabouts are unknown!"
"Xianzhou seems calm on the surface, but many disguised Borisin are lurking everywhere!"
"A flashpoint is imminent!"
"We must act quickly to uncover the conspiracies and schemes in this storyline?"
...
Central Starskiff Haven.
Yanqing appeared somewhat restless.
He was exchanging information with Stelle: "The three generals are on high alert and have all taken action, intending to uproot the fugitives and the masterminds to prevent further trouble."
"If we can't apprehend the fugitives soon, given Hoolay's heinous nature, he will surely cause chaos."
"Clearly, there's someone meticulously orchestrating this prison break, trying to stir up turmoil. If they succeed, what honor will the Cloud Knights have left?"
As his words fell.
A voice chimed in.
"Well said."
"Though not taller than a folding stool, the youngsters of Luofu possess a spirit no less than the warriors of Yaoqing."
The speaker.
Was none other than Feixiao!
Despite knowing that Luofu Xianzhou was currently under turbulent undercurrents.
And!
Her subordinate Jiaoqiu had been taken hostage by Hoolay.
She still appeared calm and composed.
She had even just finished two large bowls of rice at the next table.
"Ever since you saw the Borisin spy, you've been restless, running around without eating or drinking. Hoolay isn't an opponent you can defeat on an empty stomach."
"Don't be too hasty. Take a meal's time to calm down."
But Yanqing was anxious: "Hoolay's whereabouts are still unknown, and Mr. Jiaoqiu is in his hands. The longer we wait, the more uncontrollable the situation becomes."
Feixiao dismissed his concerns: "Jiaoqiu always says I'm the most impatient in the Cloud Knights, and his advice is usually right, so there's no reason for you to be more anxious than me."
"Having fought against the Borisin for years, I know their cruelty and the cunning behind it. This prison break was clearly well-prepared by the Borisin. With the enemy in the shadows, there's no reason to rush into the open."
At this point.
Feixiao's gaze sharpened slightly.
"The prey is cunning and fierce; the hunter must be patient. Like drawing a bow to shoot the enemy, full strength is needed for a fatal strike. Once Hoolay loses patience and bares his fangs, that will be the best time to strike."
"When will this best time come?" Yanqing hurriedly asked.
"I've said it... just a meal's time."
...
"Translation: This is in the bag!"
"Seeing Feixiao so calm puts me at ease."
"Such a sense of security!"
"Now I have to pull for Feixiao!"
"Once this storyline is over, as long as she remains the Sky Striking General, I'm going straight for 6+5!"
"Even if her Ultimate kills my other three teammates, I'm still pulling!"
"Jiaoqiu: Is no one concerned about me?"
...
"I wonder how Yu Ling will design my skills?"
"Will activating the Ultimate be like Jing Yuan, summoning a beast to deliver the final blow?"
"Hmm... or would it be cooler to use my own power?"
Inside The Shackling Prison.
Feixiao, Jiaoqiu, Hanya, and Xueyi were also keeping an eye on the new version's storyline.
Seeing the comments.
Feixiao couldn't help but wonder how her character would be designed.
Jiaoqiu coughed lightly.
"Ahem... General, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
"I'm still in Hoolay's hands."
"In a very dangerous situation."
"I might... die in the storyline."
Jiaoqiu was reminding Feixiao.
As a leader.
She should at least show some concern for her subordinate.
Especially in such a life-and-death scenario!
Result!
Not only was she indifferent outside the plot.
Even within the plot, she appeared completely unfazed!
She even had the mood to grab a meal!
This...
Is this right? This can't be right, can it?
Even if you're pretending.
At least show a little bit of worry or unease!
However.
Feixiao nonchalantly said, "Ha, what's there to panic about?"
"This is just game plot, aren't you fine now?"
"Once the plot ends, we'll post the video, and players across the universe will know how miserable Hoolay is in reality."
Jiaoqiu: "..."
That makes so much sense.
For a moment, he was left speechless.
Sigh...
I just hope I can play some role in the upcoming plot.
Otherwise, I'll really become a forgotten character.
Even worse than the four-star Mokuzai...
Continuing to watch the plot.
...
The scene shifts.
To the Seat of Divine Foresight.
Yunli, March 7th, and Yukong arrive here.
They are reporting the situation to General Huaiyan.
"General Huaiyan, the Sky-Faring Commission has completed the necessary preparations. Do you have any further instructions?" Yukong asked.
Huaiyan spoke gravely, "I will temporarily take command of the Seat of Divine Foresight and the affairs of the six commissions of Luofu, representing the consensus of Generals Tianji and Shence."
"How is the situation at The Shackling Prison?"
"That scoundrel Hoolay fled quickly and locked the doors tightly. Now, the Cloud Knights have re-established contact with the inside."
"Fortunately, the two Nameless trapped in The Shackling Prison are unharmed."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The barrage immediately lit up!
...
"Good thing I'm fine, if something really happened to me, wouldn't the Stellaron Hunters blow up The Shackling Prison?"
"Something happens to me? The Stellaron Hunters would all mobilize, Penacony would send people immediately, Argenti and Boothill would rush back, and the company would have to send more people to check."
"And the Memokeeper and Acheron."
"Kafka would be the first to come over and turn Hoolay into a specimen."
"Firefly: Execute scorched earth tactics!"
"I will ignite Luofu!"
"If something happens to Jiaoqiu, Feixiao: Let's feast!"
"Jiaoqiu: 6"
"No helping it, this guy hasn't had any standout moments in the previous plot."
"Jiaoqiu: I clearly know that the paths of people are not replicable, I walk on my own life path..."
....
