Jarilo-.
An unnamed snowfield.
Seele's gaze was cold, her brow tightly furrowed.
As she watched the swirling snow and wind before her, the worry in her eyes grew increasingly intense!
"Miss Seele, please don't be too anxious."
"Supreme Guardian and her team are equipped with excellent supplies. Although they've lost contact for now, they should respond once the storm calms down."
Seele clenched her fists.
So tightly that her knuckles turned pale.
"How can I not be anxious?!"
"Bronya, really... Even though she's the Supreme Guardian now, she still insists on handling everything personally!"
"Doesn't she realize what she means to Belobog now?"
"If anything happens to her, it won't just be Belobog—players across the entire universe..."
Seele shook her head.
Feeling she shouldn't say such ominous words.
She looked again at the thick fog ahead, which showed no sign of clearing.
With no response from Bronya for so long,
She felt like she was about to develop anxiety!
Behind her.
Was the temporary camp set up by the Silvermane Guards.
Personnel moved back and forth between tents, diligently testing the environment and terrain, checking for rift influence, and so on...
Not long after.
A researcher hurried over.
Reporting to Seele and the others.
"The calculations are in!"
"Ahead is a vast cliff, accompanied by rift corruption!"
"It's highly likely that the Supreme Guardian and her team are lost somewhere below this cliff!"
Seele's gaze sharpened. "What should we do now?"
"Uh... well..."
"Currently... we haven't found an effective rescue method. The snowstorm is too severe, and the terrain below is too complex..."
The more Seele listened, the tighter her frown became.
She automatically filtered out the technical jargon.
Summarizing it all into one sentence—
"We can't do anything! We can only wait for Bronya and the others to reach out to us!"
"Tch, how useless!"
Seele walked to the edge of the cliff.
Thick snow and mist intertwined, making it nearly impossible to see anything beyond the path beneath her feet.
She crouched down.
Tossing a rope over the edge.
"It's not a sheer drop, but at an angle..."
The nearby Silvermane Guard panicked at Seele's actions!
"Miss Seele, p-please don't do anything rash!"
A look of determination flashed in Seele's eyes.
She spoke word by word: "Bronya is your Supreme Guardian, but she... is also my friend."
"No matter how strong she may seem, she's still just an ordinary person."
"Don't think that just because she's a character in Honkai: Star Rail, she'll always be safe..."
At this point.
She took a long, deep breath.
And leaped forward!
Plunging into the abyss ahead.
Like a feather gently falling into a lake.
Not even a single ripple was stirred.
The Silvermane Guards and researchers were stunned!
Several seconds later.
They finally snapped out of it!
"Oh no!"
"Aaaaaah...!"
"This is terrible! Miss Seele is gone too!"
"Could it be... that Belobog is about to lose two five-star characters at once!?"
"Stop talking nonsense and report to headquarters immediately! We need more assistance!"
"Lady Bronya and Miss Seele are practically the symbols of Belobog now. If anything happens to them, I don't even dare to imagine the consequences..."
"If you know that, stop wasting time here lamenting! Quickly organize a rescue team!"
...
Little Gui's livestream.
"After watching The Herta's Magical Kitchen, I'm feeling really excited right now!"
"Before the next version update, I need to help The Herta gather all the materials..."
"My goal is: the moment the banner drops, instant max-out, no My Childhood!"
Just as Little Gui was about to go farm for Trace materials.
Suddenly,
A flood of identical comments appeared!
[Little Gui, check the trending topics!]
[Whoa, something big happened in Belobog!]
[Not easy, after so long, finally seeing Belobog trending!]
"Huh?"
"Belobog is trending?"
Little Gui thought it might be some shocking news.
She clicked open the trending list!
It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe!
[Bronya out of contact for over 12 system hours]
Below this trending topic.
There was another newly rising tag.
[Seele missing for 2 system hours]
???
Little Gui wore an expression of utter disbelief!
"What... what's going on?"
"Isn't Belobog a popular tourist planet now? How could something like this happen?"
"Could it be... the Antimatter Legion invaded again?"
She clicked on the related information!
The comment section was already in complete chaos!
...
"What are the people of Belobog even doing? They lost my Seele and Bronya?"
"Wow! Talk about staying quiet and then making a huge splash..."
"Belobog stays silent, only to pull off something massive."
"Fellow Caelus fans, while Honkai: Star Rail's storyline is special, it doesn't completely mirror reality. The reason the real world is real is because accidents can happen at any time."
"Come to think of it, the characters from Belobog are truly the closest to ordinary people—their lives beautiful yet fragile."
"I've already bought a ticket to Belobog. I must go see the situation for myself and offer whatever help I can."
"I'm a local player from Belobog. Let me explain what's really going on."
"Borrowing this thread: Isn't the Stellaron disaster already over? Belobog has become something of a trending planet now, with more and more players coming to check in. Lady Bronya wanted to develop more areas outside the city and personally led the Silvermane Guards to survey the land. They've done this several times before, but who knew an accident would happen this time..."
"Wuwuwu, my Bronya and Seele! You're the veterans who helped me through the early game—I can't lose you!"
...
After reading through the comments one by one,
Little Gui's breathing quickened slightly.
"This time, it really seems like something has gone wrong!"
"To be honest, Belobog actually hides quite a few secrets!"
"Besides the Stellaron, there's a large batch of unused weapons buried underground. We all know about the Intellitron crisis—it might just play out in Belobog..."
"And there's another big threat—the Destruction army beneath the ice!"
"Once unleashed, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
...
"Maybe there's even a Propagation crisis. In Trashcan King's dream, there were bugs in one of the trashcans..."
"Damn! It's starting to sound like Belobog's apocalypse is coming..."
"Belobog's strength is still too weak. Any one of the Ten Stonehearts could solo this planet."
"Seele and Bronya hold extraordinary significance for Belobog. If anything happens to them, the company will have a reason to take over the planet."
"Based on the storyline, without Bronya, Belobog truly lacks a leader now. Gepard seems more suited as a loyal subordinate and struggles to shoulder the heavy responsibility..."
"Do you think it's possible that this incident was secretly orchestrated by the company?"
