Fortunately, Herta's sudden assistance arrived.
This stopped Himeko and Welt, who were getting anxious, from their reckless plans.
At least Herta has a way to enter Amphoreus. As long as they can contact Stelle and Dan Heng first, everything else won't be a problem.
Thus, Herta set off.
After the live stream ended, many people still didn't get the answers they wanted.
The only one who gained was Xu Qiong. At this moment, "honkai: star rail" had surpassed one billion average daily active users.
Although in the entire galaxy, it could only be considered just starting to make a name for itself.
But this is a mobile game after all; achieving this much is an unprecedented spectacle.
Besides.
The game's main storyline is currently in the foreshadowing stage. Starting from the next version, it will gradually reach its climax!
...
The cheerful live stream ended, returning to Guinaifen's side on the main story.
The screen went black.
Then Anaxa was seen falling into the Underworld and being awakened by Cerces.
Just like the information left in the previous version, Anaxa is already a dead man, with only fifteen days and nights left.
Coincidentally, he even ran into Stelle?
"This contrast is too big." Guinaifen gasped.
"Luocha? Where is Luocha?"
Beside her, Sushang leaned in curiously.
Guinaifen: "..."
She pursed her lips speechlessly, wanting to say the live stream was quite cheerful just now, but as soon as they entered the main story, Anaxa was notified he was going to die.
"It's okay, Chang Chang, go play~"
Sushang looked confused, then shifted her gaze to the game screen.
"Do you truly intend to betray Aglaea's decree?" Cerces asked.
Just as Aglaea had worried before, with the Citizens Assembly being held, Senate wanted to use this opportunity to win over Anaxa.
And from Anaxa's perspective, he happened to encounter an informant from Senate.
"I was never loyal to her, so how can there be betrayal?"
"What about your white-haired disciple? Acting so recklessly... aren't you afraid of leading him into dishonor?"
This person is clearly Phainon, because only Phainon pleaded with Aglaea not to touch Anaxa.
But facing Cerces's question, Anaxa suddenly laughed happily: "Blindness always comes with a price; this is also a lesson left for Phainon."
"Heh, you really are a strict teacher..."
"Of course, I've always been like this."
[Can't hold it in, I feel bad for little Phainon.]
[This final lesson is called betrayal!]
[The Deliverer indeed has to bear more than just the world!]
Then the perspective shifted.
A strange lifeform, similar to an Automaton with a hole in its chest, appeared before Anaxa.
Not only that, his name was three question marks?!
"An Antikytheran is actually here?"
Cerces recognized the other party, and the other party could actually see her too?
Witnessing the dialogue between the two sides, Guinaifen couldn't help but ponder: "There aren't many characters with question marks for names now, family. This Automaton can even see Titans, feels like there's something to him?"
After all, that pink-haired girl before was also question marks, and she hasn't appeared in the plot yet.
[Antikytheran, what race is that?]
[So his name is Lygus, a Divine Ceremony Spectator of Senate.]
After a wave of analysis from the bullet chat, Anaxa was seen being taken to Dawn Cloud Cliff, where he met scholars, followers of Kephale, and followers of Cerces.
A secret was also revealed.
He allowed Cerces to browse through his plan in the form of memories.
Like everyone else, Cerces glimpsed Anaxa's past when he was five years old—the black tide everywhere, unbearable to look at.
He had begged every Titan he could, Georia of the Earth, Aegle of the Sky, Kephale the world-bearing, and even Cerces, but all to no avail.
This was the beginning of his "Alchemy" and the original intention behind his later research into "Soul" theory.
At the cost of sacrificing one eye, he briefly saw his deceased older sister.
As someone who only knows how to swing a sword, Sushang naturally couldn't understand the relationship within.
She just shook her head: "I was wondering why Anaxa was blind in one eye?"
Guinaifen stared at her helplessly: "Chang Chang, can we be a bit more civil when we speak?"
"But then again, Anaxa said his plan is in these memories, is there any connection?"
Guinaifen couldn't understand for now. Coincidentally, she was notified that Caenis had arrived.
"Forget it, I don't get it, family. Let's go see Caenis first and see what her intentions are!"
...
"Nothing, nothing, still nothing at all?"
In Amphoreus, Xu Qiong quietly scrolled through his mobile phone.
Wanting to see if there was any news online.
Until the day the live stream ended, it seemed there were no major chain reactions in the universe due to the disappearance of that Memokeeper.
Speaking of which, this ability is really a bug; it can even temporarily erase one's own image?
However, originally only one chance was given.
Mainly because Xu Qiong exploited a bug, the number of times increased, and it even directly extended into a brand new Path.
"Rules".
As a "Narrator" under this Path, he wasn't sure if the current Path's energy could truly change whatever he wanted, and of course, he didn't dare to try.
Unless he waits for the other "Time" Path to ascend; if things really blow up, he can just rewind.
Xu Qiong curled his lips as if relieved.
After the live stream ended, everyone also felt a weight lifted.
"partner~ was my performance just now great?"
At this moment, Xu Qiong snapped out of it. Cyrene was cupping her face, coming before him like a little flower.
"Hmm?"
Something seemed wrong.
Xu Qiong looked down and found one leg pressed against his knee, the other leg extended outward, and the iris-colored hem of her skirt draped by his feet.
A bit too close!
He had been thinking so intently just now that he didn't even notice he was being controlled by Cyrene.
As expected of a high-ranking Emanator of Remembrance, there's simply no resisting at all!
Xu Qiong put away his mobile phone and quickly spoke: "It was very great."
Hearing this, Cyrene beamed: "Since I was so great, shouldn't partner give me some rewards~?"
"Rewards?"
"For example..." Her hand moved from bottom to top, seemingly having slid to Xu Qiong's cheek, "partner has made so much content for Castorice."
"I want to see if there's a part about me in partner's memories?"
Hiss!
For some reason, even though Cyrene's voice was gentle, he always felt a chill spreading.
He seemed to understand what was going on.
Ice attribute is indeed different; it comes with its own domain effect.
"There is, there is."
"Definitely!"
Xu Qiong blinked and smiled: "We are fellow Writers. If you want to see, feel free to flip through everything, classmate Elysia."
"Mmh~"
Cyrene thought for a moment.
Then she got off the sofa and couldn't help but put her hands on her hips proudly: "Forget it."
"I'll leave some anticipation for myself. After all, according to partner's words, the protagonist always makes their appearance last ♪"
Xu Qiong breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
To be honest, Cyrene's content is quite rich, especially by version 3.7. The shocking secret to be revealed then is not as simple as Hesitation being Cyrene.
Thinking about Amphoreus actually appearing in the universe, Xu Qiong couldn't help but hum lightly.
But it wasn't over yet.
Because she had been cooperating with Xu Qiong to make the game these past few days, Castorice hadn't had much time to catch up with her sister.
Now that she finished explaining to Polyxia, she found Xu Qiong: "Sorry, I was so focused on chatting for a moment that I neglected you."
Xu Qiong glanced at Cyrene, who was still smiling sweetly.
All he could say was, good thing she neglected him!
