Chapter 257

……

On this side, Eden, with tears in her eyes, continued to click through the story.

Elysia, sitting beside her, had also uncharacteristically quieted down, watching the plot with great seriousness.

Accompanied by that hopeful music, Himeko's gentle voice drifted out:

"I understand your nervousness, Kiana."

"The more help you receive from everyone, the more you feel the weight of the burden you carry."

"So you must remember, you are never alone."

"Anti-Entropy, the comrades who have become your partners; Theresa, the Principal who is always thinking of you; Immortal Fu Hua, the reliable Class Monitor……"

"Kiana…… believe in and rely on your companions, because they surely believe in and rely on you too!"

……

As the story reached this point, Kiana finally broke through all her confusion.

And the only regret remaining…… was the farewell to Teacher Himeko.

But before Kiana could speak, the space suddenly shook violently.

Kiana steadied herself, saying with some worry: "Outside…… is it everyone?"

Himeko sighed: "It seems they are fighting the Herrscher. With that, the time stagnated here has finally begun to flow again……"

As Himeko's words faded, the game screen shifted to the perspectives of Bronya and Immortal Fu Hua.

At this moment, they were trapped in a sealed space, unable to find Kiana.

After some discussion, they guessed the true identity of the Herrscher of Domination.

Under Bronya's calculations, she and Immortal Fu Hua finally broke through the sealed space and found the unconscious Kiana.

But just as they intended to go over and save Kiana, rows of puppets blocked their path.

"What should we do, Class Monitor? We can't find any other way for the moment."

"And they have a direct connection to their hosts now. If we kill these puppets, their hosts in reality will also die……"

This situation was extremely thorny.

The hosts of these puppets were not Herrschers, but living, breathing people.

Therefore, neither Bronya nor Immortal Fu Hua could bring themselves to kill them.

"It seems…… there is no other way……" Immortal Fu Hua thought for a moment:

"Bronya, I will sever their connection to the hosts."

"Sever the connection?" Bronya did not understand what Immortal Fu Hua meant by this.

"Yes, I once severed the connection between Sirin and the Will of Honkai during the Second Eruption. The principle is much the same."

"But…… you no longer have the Fenghuang Down."

Immortal Fu Hua nodded: "That's right. With my own strength, I can no longer do it. Therefore, I must borrow the power of the Herrscher of Sentience."

"The Herrscher of Sentience…… that is very dangerous!"

"I know, but I must try." As Immortal Fu Hua spoke, she closed her eyes and sank into the depths of her consciousness.

"……"

After a pause, Immortal Fu Hua attempted to speak: "Listen to me, if you can hear me—"

There was no voice answering in the darkness.

"Kiana is currently in danger, and I need to borrow your power."

"……"

After a long while, Senti's voice finally came through.

She seemed to sigh: "Hey…… Old Timer, you two are bothering me all day long, aren't you annoying?"

"First it was little brother Kevin, then a bunch of inexplicable wooden puppets, and now, even you have come to harass me?"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but reveal a motherly smile.

For some reason, whenever they heard Senti's voice…… they just wanted to laugh.

At the same time, they also discovered a key piece of information……

The Herrscher of Domination had also come to find Senti.

But judging from the current situation, Senti had not colluded with those puppets.

She was still a double agent against the Will of Honkai.

……

In the game, Immortal Fu Hua pleaded: "Please, I really need your help."

"Huh? Do you think I don't know that if you use Herrscher abilities on this bunch of guys, the power will be stolen?"

"Are you trying to pull a 'borrowed knife to kill' or 'kill two birds with one stone'?"

"Oh~ I get it, you must have become one of those wooden puppets, right?"

"Sigh~ I thought so, your failed life is still easily crushed by them."

Immortal Fu Hua: "……"

After a moment of silence, she sighed: "I have not become one of them. They are currently holding innocent lives hostage, and I need to borrow your power."

"You say you haven't changed, so you haven't? If you haven't, why are you tricking me into handing over my power?"

"No, this is not handing it over. As long as we defeat them, the power won't be stolen. We will be victorious~"

"Mm-hmm, great, applause for your future victory! Hmph~ what does that have to do with me?"

When Senti said this, her tone sounded very cute.

Even Sister Yidian was amused to laughter.

In the game, Immortal Fu Hua continued to persuade: "Kiana needs you."

Senti said disdainfully: "Isn't it the 'Class Monitor' she wants?"

Immortal Fu Hua: "I need you too."

Senti: "……"

After a long silence, Immortal Fu Hua felt that Senti was slightly moved.

Thinking of this, Immortal Fu Hua continued to coax her.

"I know Kiana once denied you, but after spending that time together, you also understand that she is not a bad person."

"She denied that you were 'Immortal Fu Hua' not because she disliked you; on the contrary, we all believe you are an independent person, a unique soul."

"You have your own thoughts, your own persistence…… you don't need to care about who you are, because you can decide who you want to become."

"I have always wanted to say these words to you…… Kiana, and I, we all hope you can come back."

After saying this, Senti did not reply.

The atmosphere fell into a long silence.

But Immortal Fu Hua could feel that the other party's attitude showed signs of loosening.

"Hmph~ you seem to be better at chatting than the other wooden puppets."

"However, in the end, this is still a mess you made yourselves. Whoever caused the trouble should solve it. If you have the ability, you……"

Senti hadn't finished speaking, but at this moment, there was no time left outside for Immortal Fu Hua to wait.

Although she felt sorry, she gritted her teeth and pulled the chain, seizing the power:

"I'm sorry!"

Feeling the power being taken away, Senti was somewhat incredulous.

"Old Timer! You—!"

Was she tricked?

……

Watching this scene, Eden couldn't help but sigh.

The chat was filled with joy.

Even Elysia revealed a look of regret.

"Sigh~ it would have been fine if you had just coaxed her a little more~ Senti said those things because she wanted you to coax her more……"

"Really…… but Senti is so cute. I remember her bridge voice line saying no one could trick her…… haha……"
