【"However, this is not what Ling intended! If those soldiers hadn't killed her, this tragedy would not have happened!"】
【Seele overcomes her fear of Kevin and retorts loudly. 】
【"Even if those soldiers are stopped, there will be other people and other things that will become the last straw that crushes her."】
【"When Ling was chosen to be the Herrscher, the ending was already doomed. This is Honkai...!"】
【Kevin's eyes were fierce, and his clenched fist seemed to be bleeding at any moment. He tried hard to keep himself calm, but his anger and pain were fully exposed. 】
And at this moment, Mei's voice suddenly sounded from the communication channel.
She anxiously told Kevin that the Herrscher hadn't been wiped out yet!
No.12 Herrscher's true posture is an ultimate virus with self-awareness, which can corrode everything, and is now taking control of the nuclear bomb silo!
Seeing this, everyone suddenly realized!
[I'm stupid!It turned out that those people who chased the fire moth killed Ling before she became a Herrscher?These bastards!He can actually do it to a little girl! 】
【Made, if they killed the bell who turned into a Herrscher, then I can barely accept that, after all, they are enemies.But you tell me now that what they killed was not Herrscher, but Ling? 】
[It's really ironic. They were afraid of Herrscher, and then killed an innocent little girl, but released the real Herrscher because of it. It's so ironic. For the first time, I think that Herrscher can kill her well, so she should These beasts were killed! 】
【In that case, if they didn't kill Suzu, wouldn't No. 12 Herrscher never appear? 】
[Wait, if Suzu became the No.12 Herrscher, then Higokumaru is actually Suzu? 】
After knowing the truth of the matter, everyone in the live broadcast room was angry.
It wasn't the Herrscher that the Flaming Moth killed, but Ling.
This also meant that the scars on Ling's body were all left by her death when she was a human being.
Fortunately, they thought that although the fire moths were a little radical, they were for the sake of human beings, which is understandable.
But look at it now, understand a hammer!
"Although I am not incomprehensible
194
The Fire Moth is terrified of Herrscher, but this is really going too far. "
Alicia said with an ugly expression,
"Even if it was Otto, he would study it first, right? These people killed her without even knowing what kind of Herrscher Ling was. Is the Flaming Moth such a trifling organization?" ?”
"Hey, there's no way around it. The Flaming Moth is obviously not as monolithic as the Destiny led by Otto. It can be seen from the attitudes of Kevin and Mei before that their handling of Bell tends to monitor researched, but some people executed Bell without authorization."
Tesla said with some disgust,
"That's why I hate things like infighting."
"But Kevin may be right about what he said."
Einstein said calmly,
"When Ling became the Herrscher, the ending was already doomed."
"It's just the stupidity of these people that made this ending come earlier."
"I quite like the story written by Su Mu. Human beings act out of fear, but in the end they die because of fear. It has a dystopian flavor."
"Jiwotou, I can't admit what you said. Who said the ending is doomed? If they can protect Ling well and keep Ling from dying, then No. 12 Herrscher will never awaken."
Tesla said unconvinced.
"The idea is good, but can they really protect Ling?"
"And even if Ling can be protected, who can guarantee the awakening of the Twelve Herrschers? The only trigger condition is Ling's death? After all, we still know too little about Honkai."
"Su Mu, tell me, if Ling hadn't died, would No.12 Herrscher have awakened?"
Tesla couldn't say no to Einstein, so he simply asked Su Mu, the screenwriter, directly.
"In this case, it doesn't really matter."
Su Mu shrugged,
"Because the end of the demise of the former civilization is doomed, they lost a long time ago, the awakening of the No. 12 Herrscher is just adding the last handful of soil for them."
"Well... I don't like the story of pre-civilization a bit."
Alicia said a little depressed.
What she likes are stories where everyone is happy and happy together, but according to the narrative tone of pre-civilization full of despair, it is really difficult for her to agree.
But even if she doesn't like it, she still has to keep playing.
She also wanted to see what would happen to Sakura and Kevin in the end.
When she heard the news that Suzuki was still alive, Sakura turned her gaze to Kevin as if grasping at straws.
She is going to find Bell.
Neither Kevin nor Xi'er wanted her to go, because her going would probably mean a farewell.
【"Ling must be very lonely now, she has always been a child who is afraid of being lonely...she needs me."】
When she heard Sakura say this, Xier couldn't say anything if she refused.
So she decided to go find Suzu with Sakura.
But Sakura shook her head sadly, she couldn't let Xier go with her.
【"Xi'er, I'm sorry."】
[The blade was unsheathed, and Sakura's blow completely 'freeze' the space! 】
[Time stagnates, consciousness flies away, and everything tends to stand still. 】
[In this lightless field, in just a few seconds, she is the only one who can act. 】
At this moment, everyone in the live broadcast room also understood what Sakura's so-called real ability was!
It's not fast, nor is it space teleportation!
Instead, let everyone's unexpected time pause!
Just this one knife is the moment of reaching the pinnacle!
Although this is not a time pause in the true sense, the skill of just using a sword is already unbelievable.
Sakura left.
Seele anxiously wanted to help her, but Kevin said something meaningful.
There is no need for that anymore.
After an unknown amount of time, Mei's voice sounded from the communicator in the pitch-black scene.
She told Kevin that Herrscher had fallen into the trap, and she would find a way to transfer her to the black box.
【"Sorry, Mei, can you give me some time?"】
【"I have something...to deal with."】
When the screen changed, Kevin and Xier had found Sakura.
In the ruins, Sakura sat on the ground with her bruised body.
Her eyes were lifeless, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and a smell of death pervaded her body. Anyone who looked at her could tell that Sakura was dying.
Her most cherished pendant also withered with her figure.
[Fuck me, is the old thief really going to have a group annihilation ending?Suzu was afraid of being lonely, so Sakura died with her, right?You are such a kind person! 】
【cherry!My Sakura! 】
Seeing the moment when Sakura was dying, everyone was a little stunned.
Although Sakura has only been on the stage for a short time, her strength, calmness, and tender love for Xier and her sister have been deeply remembered by everyone.
However, in this short ten minutes, Bell died, and Sakura was about to die, how could everyone accept this?
So they vented all their anger and resentment towards Su Mu, and began to crazily accuse Su Mu of being a heartless soul.
In the sad bgm, Kevin told Sakura that at the last moment
195
, Herrscher had an unexplained disorder, and Mei didn't miss that opportunity.
【"That's good..."】
【The corner of Sakura's mouth is raised slightly, revealing a smile that I don't know whether it's gratification or bitterness,】
【"I accompanied Ling...to the last moment...until the end, she is still my sister..."]
【"I kept... the pride of being a sister."】
【"You didn't regret it in the end, that's enough."】
【"Kevin... I finally have one more request."】
【"Xie'er...Take her back to our hometown."】
【"I promised her that I would take her to the square where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom."】
Hearing this sentence, the audience in the live broadcast room burst into tears.
Even at such a time, Sakura still remembers the agreement with Xier, what a gentle person she is!
"Bad Su Mu, you made me cry during the live broadcast again...I will remember this grudge."
With red eyes, Alicia picked up a tissue and wiped her tears.
Originally, she could still bear it, but it was this small detail that made her really unable to bear it.
Sakura is really strong and gentle. After Ling became a Herrscher, she was able to draw her sword to fight against her, and won a chance for Dr. Mei, preventing her sister from becoming that evil Herrscher.
And at the last moment of her life, she also remembered the agreement with Xier to let Kevin take Xier to see the cherry blossoms.
In fact, her underlying meaning is to hope that Kevin can help Xier find her sister.
It was precisely because she understood this that Alicia couldn't help crying.
【"Sister Sakura..." Xi'er burst into tears, and she was overwhelmed by endless sorrow. 】
【"Xie'er...don't be sad...some things, some regrets, we can't do anything..."]
[Sakura said softly,]
【"But you... still have someone you want to protect. When you stand with her under the cherry tree..."】
【"You will find that this world is still beautiful...you will find that your world still has hope..."】
【As the voice fell, the last ray of light in her eyes dissipated, and the world bubble gradually disintegrated, returning to nothingness together with the life of the soldier. 】
[Only the sobbing sound of the girl remained floating in the darkness until it disappeared. 】
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into tears again.
Sakura's sentence "You will find that this world is still beautiful" is in sharp contrast to the sentence "You will find that this world is no longer beautiful" in Himeko's last lesson.
In a sense, Sakura and Himeko are the same kind of person. Although they are different on the outside, they both have a gentle heart inside.
Also before dying, although the words Sakura and Himeko spoke were different, they both contained their unique tenderness.
Himeko is looking forward to Kiyana's growth, so that she can still move forward after seeing the world clearly.
Sakura is in a world of tragedy, hoping that Xier can still believe that there is still beauty and hope in the world, and the meaning is to tell Xier not to let the tragedy of herself and Ling happen to them again.
It is precisely because of the rain that I want to hold an umbrella for others.
This is Sakura's last tenderness to Xier.
It is precisely because they understand this that everyone is so uncomfortable.
But when everyone was in tears, Kevin's voice suddenly sounded in the dark game screen.
