Chapter 153: Phantylia is about to break free!
[ Forget about that! I've been possessed by a Heliobus! ]
[ Help! I've been possessed by a Heliobus! ]
In the livestream room.
Guinaifen was dumbfounded.
Even if she chose to speak the truth directly, the words coming out of her mouth turned into a different version entirely!
"Stop looking. Guinaifen has probably been eaten by the Heliobus by now, hasn't she?"
Houhou became even more terrified: "H-H-How could this happen? Even the high-spirited Guinaifen was… then wouldn't I be an even easier target…"
"You can definitely find a way out, right! Please, you must take me with you…"
Tail said irritably: "This great one just can't stand your cowardly look. As a Judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, why are you always thinking about asking others for help~?"
Houhou admitted her cowardice with perfect logic: "You know I'm not cut out to be a Judge at all. I used to think that working at the Ten-Lords Commission for a long time would build up my courage, but now I realize… if you can't do it, you just can't."
"Tsk, useless thing. How did I end up sealed on you?"
"All you do is act big and powerful all day, but one slip-up and we both fall into someone else's trap… who's the useless one now!"
Houhou and Tail started arguing.
Meanwhile, Stelle, under Phantylia's control, was also being quite blunt: "It's useless for you to follow me. I'm leaving, and I'm leaving you here alone. Goodbye!"
"Ahhh, don't go, don't go! Wait for me…"
Seeing this.
Guinaifen felt that this Phantylia was really a piece of work!
Is it fun to bully poor Houhou?
Houhou herself admitted she wasn't suited to be a Judge.
What more do you want from her!
"Phantylia, you beast…"
"Ha? From a biological classification perspective, you're closer to that word than I am~"
Phantylia bickered with Stelle internally.
While continuing to control Stelle.
She spoke even harsher words to Houhou!
"The Ten-Lords Commission really isn't picky, even a loser like you can become a Judge. It's truly laughable."
"Wooo…"
Houhou started wiping away tears immediately.
She felt wronged and wanted to pretend to be strong, but she couldn't help letting out a sob.
"Ahhh, I'm sorry, I'M SORRY!!!!"
Guinaifen felt that "she" was being way too excessive!
She wished she could jump into the screen and give Houhou a pat.
And the bullet chat surged at this moment!
…
"The protagonist's S-attribute is exploding…"
"The most 'civilized' episode."
"Dropping little pearls now~"
"Houhou is so cute, why bully her!?"
"Damn, my fists are clenching just watching this."
"No bullying Houhou!"
…
Tail, who was nearby, spoke up: "Hey, hey, that's enough. The only ones allowed to scold this girl are me… and those few Judges, got it!"
"Tsk, something's wrong. I smell one of my kind."
"It's you, Phantylia. Hiding in a puppet's body to play ventriloquist—that truly fits your usual low-life conduct."
Phantylia stopped pretending and laid her cards on the table.
Controlling Stelle's body, she replied: "Ha… Hahahaha! Ridiculous, ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! I thought you had escaped the fate of suffering in the Creation Furnace?"
"Who would have thought that the most bellicose fragment of the great Heliobus Ignamar would be sealed in the body of a sniveling little girl to act as a watchdog—"
"Ah, no, no, no. Right now, you don't even qualify as a watchdog! You're just a… Tail~ right, Tail, Tail, Tail!"
Tail manifested a hand and said fiercely: "Getting cocky, are we? Get out of that girl's body, and I'll swallow you whole right now!"
"I'm s-so scared—hehe, just kidding!"
"Right now, you can't even leave that Judge's body, can you? You can't fully consume her, and you can't escape. Hehe, Lord Tail, right now, you're so pitiful~"
"Curse you! Little coward, think of something!"
Tail was so angry his back teeth were almost grinding to dust.
Meanwhile, Houhou pulled out a talisman while crying.
"Miss Stelle, please take this talisman and stick it on yourself. A Heliobus can't completely dominate a person's body in a short time. This paper talisman can temporarily suppress its influence on you."
"Wooo…"
After giving the talisman.
Houhou whimpered as she found a small corner to crouch down in.
Tail, still on the spot, said: "Hey, little girl, you go and comfort Houhou. This girl's crying is more annoying than the intermittent buzzing of a mosquito."
After watching this plot segment.
It must be said that the experience of being possessed by a Heliobus was truly an eye-opener for many players.
…
"So Heliobus emotions are this anthropomorphic?"
"I feel like it's crazier than me, more like a person than I am."
"There are tiers even among Heliobi! Lord Tail is so cute; his jokes always know when to stop. Look at this Phantylia, making people grind their teeth in anger."
"This Heliobus is indeed disgusting."
"Can we let Houhou break the seal and let Lord Tail eat this thing? I'm getting tilted just looking at it!"
"Support Lord Tail! Kill Phantylia!"
…
Little Gui glanced at the bullet chat.
She sighed: "Seeing everyone cursing Phantylia makes me feel better."
"But I have a question…"
"So much time has passed in the story? Where am [ I ]!"
"Houhou said my Yang energy is abundant, so I shouldn't have been eaten clean by other Heliobi, right…"
Houhou was still secretly wiping her tears over there.
Step forward.
Dialogue.
[ I'm so sorry, Houhou, are you okay? ]
"It's not your fault. It was that bad guy sowing discord. Wuuu…"
"Even though I know a kind person like Stelle wouldn't say such harsh things, and it's definitely because of being possessed by that evil spirit… but, but every word that thing said, I couldn't refute…"
"I've been timid and thin-skinned since I was a child… ever since I was possessed by Tail, my life has been like falling into a nightmare…"
"When I was in school, people would always ask why your tail was on fire… walking in a crowd, I was as conspicuous as being under a spotlight."
Tail interjected: "Oh, so it's my fault? If you had just let me eat you back then, would you have all these troubles?"
"Wuuu, later… later I joined the Ten-Lords Commission, and everyone was a bit strange. I thought I had found a place to belong. But the work at the Ten-Lords Commission… is just too dangerous! Every day fighting all sorts of monsters, ghosts, and unpardonable villains…"
"I… I'm really not suited for this job. If I can make it back alive, I think I'll submit my resignation to the Ten-Lords Commission."
"Having someone afraid of Heliobi use a Heliobus to capture Heliobi—no matter how you think about it, it's just wrong… I'm really sorry, I'm of no help."
Forget Little Gui.
The netizens in the livestream room, seeing Houhou like this.
The sobbing, the trembling voice.
All of them were heartbroken!
…
"Please, a tail that's lit up is super cool, okay!"
"Don't blame yourself! Aren't your paper dolls quite useful!"
"Even though Houhou is a coward and a crybaby, for some reason, I just can't hate her…"
"So heartbreaking, so cute, okay!"
"If it really doesn't work out, then don't work at the Ten-Lords Commission."
"Keep it up, Houhou!"
…
In the courtyard.
Houhou and Tail saw the lines of bullet chat.
Her originally frantic eyes slowly steadied.
In the depths of her eyes, a few shimmering glimmers appeared.
With her small hands, she tremblingly typed a line on the screen.
"Thank you, everyone."
However, her account was a guest account, and this message was quickly buried under the mountain of other comments.
Tail, meanwhile, was darting around Houhou.
He complained: "This great one doesn't need the support of these people online!"
"But this Phantylia is indeed disgusting!"
"Little girl Houhou! Next time you see it, take off the seal for me immediately! I'm going to swallow this thing in one bite! Save me the annoyance."
"Hey! Did you hear me?"
"I-I heard you…"
...
Alchemy Commission.
Jing Yuan, Dan Heng, Jingliu, and Blade were carrying out the [ Clouds Leave No Trace ] mission.
In the plot.
Jingliu, having returned to the Xianzhou, invited Dan Heng to revisit old haunts.
For now.
Although Jingliu was cold, her emotions were stable.
It seemed she really just intended to reminisce about old times before being taken into custody.
Jing Yuan also relaxed slightly.
Suddenly.
His expression shifted slightly.
He said "Sorry, excuse me for a moment" and temporarily left.
Jingliu and Blade said nothing.
The two of them were very calm right now, only wanting to continue this story mission.
Jing Yuan came to a secluded spot.
A gourd appeared in his hand.
Sealed inside was Phantylia, whose physical body had been destroyed in the previous great battle.
At this moment, the gourd was vibrating, as if the thing inside couldn't be suppressed and was about to break out.
"Buzz!"
At the mouth of the gourd, a blue light suddenly appeared.
Following that, a line of graffiti with Silver Wolf's personal style appeared in the air.
The content was:
[ This seal isn't permanent. When you see this line, it means Phantylia is about to escape. ]
[ General of the Luofu, figure something out yourself… (Silver Wolf/Lame Emote) ]
"Phew…"
Jing Yuan sighed.
As expected.
Taking on this hot potato wasn't going to be easy.
He took out his other Jade Abacus.
He called the first person in his contacts.
A voice came from the other end: "General, what are your instructions?"
"The matter I ordered you to handle earlier, how are the arrangements coming along?"
The voice on the other end was a bit hesitant: "General, that… after all, it's a grand array meant to seal a Heliobus of Phantylia's caliber… our Luofu's technical level has encountered some… uh, difficulties…"
"We are currently in urgent contact with the craftsmen of the Zhuming. They are the ones sealing [ Flintwing ] after all. But the craftsmen there said that unless we can also create an array base like the [ Flamewheel Casting Palace ]… it will be very difficult to completely seal Phantylia!"
"Hmm…"
Jing Yuan rested one hand on his forehead.
Clearly, he also felt this matter was a bit troublesome.
After a long silence.
Jing Yuan said: "Construct an emergency sealing array first. It doesn't need to be perfect, just enough to temporarily suppress Phantylia."
"But remember, it must be fast."
"Leave the rest to me… It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Zhuming personally."
After ending the call.
Jing Yuan looked at the sky.
The worry between his brows gradually eased.
"At least, my current situation is much better than in the game, isn't it?"
To live this long and still not be shrouded by those shadows, being good at self-comfort was very important.
He closed his eyes.
The next second.
A soft snoring sound escaped.
He could actually fall asleep instantly even while standing!
