The Vixen's Gambit: Tonight We Hunt

While everyone was excitedly saying something, there was only one person in this Elysian Realm who couldn't even say a word.

That was Vill-V.

What could she say? She had no right to say anything!

No one knew better than herself how shameful the stupid things she had done were, and when she saw Lee's story played on this screen, she even wanted to escape from here directly…

But what was the use of avoiding it? Everything she had done had already become an unchangeable fact. Lee, who was in high spirits on the screen, overlapped with the tired Lee in her memory, telling her what her behavior had led to.

Vill-V could only sit there blankly, unable to do anything, waiting for the plot that would eventually come.

And this moment came quickly. The people around first condemned Aponia's stupidity, and then were angry at Kevin's hesitation in the face of the Herrscher of Death… And then, there was only silence and gazes full of chills staring at her.

And Vill-V just kept silent.

When anger and disappointment burned to the top, even words of blame would be burned out.

However, if the things she had done were limited to this, then Vill-V's mood might be better… But the things she did that made people—even herself—disappointed were far more than this.

After Elysia's video was over, no matter how chaotic the scene was, she probably couldn't escape. If her consciousness really died in the Elysian Realm, could she follow Lee's path that had already gone ahead?

No, even if she could follow… maybe it would be better for her if she stayed away from her.

"…" Elysia silently and distressedly rubbed her temples.

Elysia had known about the result caused by Vill-V for a long time, after all, the person who personally rescued Lee, who had been drained of blood and bone marrow, from the experimental cabin was her.

Now seeing this scene again, it would be a lie to say that Elysia didn't have any anger in her heart… But the surrounding atmosphere felt like it was going in the opposite direction of what she wanted.

Originally, she wanted to watch Mei's experiences and discoveries in the Elysian Realm with everyone, and discuss it easily together… But since the story of Lee's perspective started playing, everything seemed to be getting worse.

Elysia was even sure that as long as she dared to cancel the ban now, the entire Elysian Realm would immediately become a more intense melee scene than at any time in the past thousand years.

But looking at everyone's current situation, if she suddenly said to stop, they would definitely not be happy.

If she wanted to calm everyone down, she probably had to call Kevin over and let everyone beat him up together. And besides this method… probably only Lee herself could do it, right?

Unconsciously, Elysia's eyes drifted to Lihua on the opposite side.

…Sister, why are you looking at me again?

Faced with Elysia's gaze, Lihua, who didn't understand, could only show a polite and awkward smile.

Well, this smile really looked like it.

Looking at that familiar smile, Elysia couldn't help but think about one thing—what exactly was a Soul Awakening?

Since this game was a trace left by the collision of two worlds, then everything in it should be traceable, and it was impossible for two people to be designed together for no reason…

Lihua had the blood of the Kaslana family… Perhaps Lee's soul was carried in the DNA, and was revived in Lihua's generation?

If so, then it was very likely that Lihua was Lee, just lacking a miracle for her to [awaken]… If Lihua obtained Lee's past memories, would she remember her identity from her previous life?

Lihua didn't know what Elysia was thinking, but she subconsciously shuddered—but she was already used to it, after all, there were too many unlucky premonitions recently.

As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you don't itch (When you're covered in problems, one more doesn't matter.). Lihua felt that she had already faintly touched this realm.

"What's wrong?" Mobius, who was sitting next to Lihua and actually paying attention to her all the time, asked seemingly calmly. "Afraid?"

"It's a little scary… Actually, I'm also a little afraid of needles." Lihua smiled helplessly.

The plot on the screen had reached the point where Elysia carried Lee out of the experimental cabin, and even gave a high-definition illustration, even the obvious needle holes on Lee's body could be clearly seen, which also gave her an excuse.

"Humph… Most of the equipment in my laboratory is needleless injectors." Mobius lied nonchalantly, anyway, she would just replace all the equipment with needleless ones later, and it wouldn't make Lee afraid to go because of fear.

But it was indeed Lee, because of the experience of her previous life, she had a fear of needles in her subconscious… It was indeed Lee's return!

Mobius was overjoyed in her heart, while Lihua only felt—what does it matter to me what kind of syringes are in your laboratory, why are you telling me?

This Mobius was really baffling…

Not knowing how to react, Lihua could only pretend that nothing happened, and continue to focus on Unit 03's adventure on the screen.

After the Herrscher of Death incident, Lee's story took a sharp turn from a shonen protagonist to a constant struggle.

Losing all her power and becoming a burden worse than an ordinary person, wanting to comfort Kevin but being pushed away, having the opportunity to eliminate the Seventh Herrscher but failing due to insufficient strength and being seriously injured and dying,

being criticized by MEI for wanting to do things that didn't match her ability, watching her relatives and friends go to accept surgeries with extremely high mortality rates but being powerless… and even in the end, she couldn't even protect Pardo, and could only watch her shake off her hand.

Pardofelis was completely stunned—she had no idea what her actions meant at the time.

She knew that Lee must not have had a good life before, but she didn't know that she had endured so much pressure… Was her behavior like sprinkling salt on Sister Lee's wound?

Can in her arms seemed to feel Pardofelis's emotions, and thoughtfully rubbed against her, but this behavior, which was effective on weekdays, could not improve Pardofelis's mood at all at this moment.

After that, what Lee did made them shocked, even Elysia.

Lee actually began to study a strengthening method that used excessive Honkai energy to force the human body to adapt… She wanted to directly implant the Herrscher core into her body to regain her combat power!

No one knew about this matter, Lee had never mentioned it to anyone—only Su suddenly remembered the document he accidentally glanced at in the other party's hand when he first arrived at Fire Moth HQ.

So at that time, Lee was already thinking about this crazy thing?! You know, even Vill-V's artificial Herrscher surgery was abandoned because it was too dangerous, let alone Lee's own reckless behavior… It was no exaggeration to say that it was certain death.

It wasn't just that Lee's plan was ultimately unsuccessful, because before she had time to implement it, she died at the hands of the Herrscher of Sentience.

In order to help Su wake up from the dream of the Herrscher of Sentience, she was pierced through the heart by the Herrscher of Sentience… And at that last moment, she still felt relieved that she might have finally helped others this time.

[Lihua, my Lihua sob sob]

[Cheer up, Lihua, as long as you elbow the opponent's player, you can win the resurrection match!]

[I feel like it's better to fall, Lee's life feels like everyone around her is putting pressure on her, at least she can be idle after death]

[But the Pressure Queen has endured for so many years and it's impossible for her to fall]

[Indeed, she hasn't even killed Sakura's sister yet]

[The one upstairs, say more if you can]

[Single-handedly solo-cleared the first four Herrschers, solved the virus left by the Sixth Herrscher, became an ordinary person and almost single-killed the Seventh Herrscher, assisted in killing the Eighth Herrscher… Lee is the real weightlifting champion of the Previous Era—the entire Previous Era is on her shoulders]

[The other warriors of this civilization are really disappointing. They are powerful when beating Mei, but they don't seem to be useful in real matters…]

[Think about it from another angle, maybe it's just that Lihua is too strong and stole their job opportunities]

The players' bullet comments discussed Lee unscrupulously, and those impolite words made the already bad expressions of everyone in the Elysian Realm visibly worse.

"Everyone, for the people of this world, Miss Lee and others are just characters in the story, so their attitudes are sometimes inappropriate… Please allow me to apologize to everyone for their rudeness! But please calm down, they definitely don't mean it that way!"

"Don't worry, little Lihua, we are not murderers, how could we easily hurt innocent people?" Elysia smiled. "I will watch them… And Mei has already gone outside, I believe everyone on the Internet will soon learn to respect~"

"Uh, I will try to let the government help a little later…" Lihua smiled awkwardly.

Not to mention anything else, but the ability of current netizens to be snarky online was second to none, and all kinds of dark jokes were endless… Not to mention characters in virtual works, even real celebrities were often the object of memes, and even lawyer letters couldn't stop them.

It might be a bit difficult to make netizens learn to respect…

But in any case, at least the murderous aura around was not so strong—temporarily.

"You were still useful back then, but unfortunately, you became useless later."

Such intense words could only be said by Kalpas now, and Su, who was being ridiculed, had nothing to say.

He was also thinking, why did everything become like this? …Everything seemed to change after he took over MEI's position as a high-level official and became the supreme leader of Fire Moth and humanity.

Before that, he could do anything for his Senpai, because he didn't need to consider other things. And after standing in that position, he had to think about problems from the perspective of protecting most people… And when these things conflicted with his Senpai's matters, he subconsciously moved the position of his Senpai, who was alone, backward.

…But, in the beginning, I stood in that position for her.

When did I forget…

No matter how much he regretted, everything was already irreversible.

…

Many people knew that Lee had the ability to predict the future, but no one knew when exactly Lee saw the future where humanity was defeated by Finality.

But today they knew, and this date was much earlier than anyone thought—it was when the Eighth Herrscher incident ended and she accepted the artificial Herrscher surgery.

On the desolate lunar surface, Kalpas was easily killed by the Herrscher of Finality, followed by Kosma, Hua… Lee could only stand there helplessly watching them die one by one, but she couldn't stop anyone.

But after waking up, she quickly sorted out her disguise, so that although there were so many people around her hospital bed at that time, no one saw her worry, and it was not until everyone left that she showed her distress and despair in the empty room alone.

[To be honest, Lihua's acting skills are a bit good]

[Rather than saying that her acting skills are good, it's better to say that others don't understand her enough]

[Indeed, Lee is indeed very good to others, but the people around her don't seem to pay attention to her mood]

[It's hard to notice, Lee basically doesn't show any negative emotions in front of other people, and the people around her probably find it hard to imagine that she will be sad]

[This is prone to depression, right? And does Lee have a bit of a people-pleaser personality?]

[I think after marrying her, even if I domestic abuse, gamble, and drink, she won't say anything, she will only endure it alone🥰]

[Okay, but why did they show us the lunar surface vision now? Is this foreshadowing something for the main story?]

[I want to steal the milk powder money she earned from her hard work after drinking and going home and take it to wash my feet, and see her wanting to cry but not daring to be seen by others🥰]

[Be a human being—but I also want to🥰]

[Terrified and sad, disheveled and negative Lee😍…I'm good]

[Impulsive actions will only hurt you!]

"…" Lihua wanted to say something for the snarky netizens, but she really couldn't come up with any words.

Guys, you are really too outrageous. You're so snarky, I don't even know what to say to help you!

Why are you discussing Lee properly, and then suddenly turn to this topic?

Some gazes had already drifted to Lihua, seemingly wanting to know how she would explain for these people this time.

And all Lihua could do was—

Show a (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ) expression.

As a person from the Middle Ages, she was not familiar with these snarky netizens, nor did she understand these statements, so she didn't know why they were so crazy.

Don't ask her!

The subsequent plot quickly diverted the attention of the surroundings, and Lihua no longer had to stay on this awkward topic.

It could only be said that sometimes one's popularity was not a bad thing. Although there was not much wool to shear, the number of people who were being snarky towards her was not so exaggerated…

Things were much simpler after that.

During the Ninth Herrscher incident, Ato misunderstood Lee before his death and fiercely ridiculed the fact that she was no longer human… This matter unexpectedly aroused public anger, but because there were too many heavyweights before, Ato received a lot less killing intent.

He would probably be killed about twenty times and that should be enough to pass—but the problem was that Griseo was angry with him and didn't want to pay attention to him!

Ato was about to cry—this really couldn't be blamed on him.

In that situation, anyone would be angry, okay? Who knew that Lee could collect other people's consciousness? It was undoubtedly his fault, and Bianka was dissatisfied with him, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

Kosma's experience was much worse than his. Ato estimated that he would have to resurrect at least three hundred times—after all, this kid had really attacked Lee with his own hands, and directly pierced her!

Although others had also done some wrong things, they had never directly attacked with such full malice and anger… Although Kosma was angry at Lee because of his death, in this matter, Ato couldn't stand up and say anything for him—after all, he was also attracting hatred now.

The situation during the Herrscher of Dominance incident was even simpler. Kalpas wished he could directly pull down the pillars of the Elysian Realm Hall and smash these guys who suspected Lee into the ground, except for Pardofelis and Griseo, no one could escape, not even Elysia!

A bunch of trash, not only were they unable to protect Lee under the public opinion of the Herrscher, but they even suspected her?!

Even Elysia could only lower her head at this moment.

She chose to doubt Lee when faced with a choice, and even wanted to attack her… But the other party finally chose to believe in herself, who was a Herrscher.

It was just that although she doubted Lee, Lee finally did not disappoint anyone's expectations. And Lee chose to believe in herself, but in the end it led to…

Elysia looked at Lee on the screen who finally put down the weapon pointed at her, and finally hesitated because of her when facing Rin.

Lee wanted to believe in miracles, but the lives of hundreds of millions of people were weighing her down—to the point that she even had the idea of escaping and went to find Mobius.

It's just a pity that she was still brooding about Lee's previous behavior and completely failed to perceive Lee's true intentions.

"Mobius… She was asking you for help!"

In Elysia's surprised eyes, wisps of flames began to slowly wrap around Kalpas's body!

Under the restraint of the ban, he could still forcibly break through the restriction and gather energy with his willpower… If anger could bring power, then Kalpas might have already burned the entire Elysian Realm to ashes.

But fortunately, Kalpas was not the protagonist of a hot-blooded shonen manga. Anger and despair could not give him the power to create miracles. In the end, his flames could not really break through the restriction and smash into Mobius's face.

And Mobius just kept silent.

Of course, she knew she was wrong, she had known it since just now.

And if it wasn't for… Mobius silently glanced at Lihua, who had a helpless expression beside her.

If it wasn't for being saved by Lee's soul, who knew what she would have done.

It's just that Mobius didn't intend to tell others about this matter… Even if Lee's soul really revived, she shouldn't continue to interact with the people in this Elysian Realm.

They… would only put pressure on Lee and drag her down. If Lee had never known these people from the beginning, she might have lived better.

After things were over in a while, she had to find a way to send her out quickly. These guys, don't disturb her life anymore.

I also have to find a way to get out of the Elysian Realm and get a body… Even if I don't go directly to her side, I have to protect her from a distance. The current Lee is too weak and needs my protection…

And Elysia's thoughts at this moment were completely opposite to Mobius's—if Lihua stayed in the Elysian Realm and interacted with people from the past, she might be able to awaken her true soul…

Or, let Lihua try to repeat the strategy in the game video, defeat everyone, and then gain the recognition of Lee's remaining consciousness and enter her past memories…

Griseo's thoughts were much simpler, she just wanted to stay with her new image Sister Lee for a while longer.

With everyone's different thoughts, the plot of this video finally came to an end.
