Chapter 755
【A funeral for the heroes???】
【No way? It can't be what I'm thinking, right?】
【Uh... probably not... After all, they're already people who have died; maybe it's just showing the players the glorious past of the Flame-Chasers again.】
【I think the person above makes a good point.】
【Looks like... it's another heartbreak... but that makes sense, after all, it is the decline of the Flame-Chasers.】
【Even though I know there will be heartbreak, I... just can't help but want to watch.】
……
Seeing these bullet comments, Mei directly emo-ed out.
Players really love to think on the bright side...
However... perhaps in the players' eyes, this is already the worst possible outcome?
And Kiana was also staring blankly at this chapter title.
At this moment, she also recalled some things...
It seems Mei had told her... in this chapter, quite a few Flame-Chasers were "cut."
The one who left the deepest impression on her was Miss Miss Paduo...
She remembered Miss Miss Paduo running out of the recording studio in tears, constantly saying at the time: "Cat is so cute, why cut Cat..."
Kiana: "..."
It's okay, it's okay, it's just a story...
While she was lost in thought, the game's plot officially began.
What was confusing was that the beginning was still a plot that one couldn't understand.
The game's perspective did not connect to the plot of the previous chapter.
Instead, it placed the perspective on Raven, who had already walked out of the Elysian Realm.
In a small alley, Raven met up with a Gray Serpent codenamed 【10426】.
The two seemed to be going to execute a very high-risk mission.
The players couldn't understand it, but Mei, as the 【protagonist】 of this chapter's plot, was very clear about it.
Raven and Gray Serpent's mission was to go and deal with the 【Herrscher of Corruption】 that hadn't grown up yet.
However, Raven and her partner didn't know that, in fact, a backup of the 【Herrscher of Corruption】 had already followed Mei into the Elysian Realm.
Of course, that was all later in the plot; at this moment, whether it was Kiana or the players in the live stream, they all felt very confused about this segment of the plot.
Just like the beginning of Chapter 29, that inexplicable text dialogue.
However, the dialogue between Raven and Gray Serpent was somewhat humorous.
This also improved the players' impression of Gray Serpent a little.
Gray Serpent isn't entirely that gloomy of a character, after all...
Fortunately, this inexplicable plot wasn't long, and the game's perspective finally returned to Mei.
It still connected to the plot of the previous chapter.
After Elysia and Ancestor Kaiwen successively went offline, Kalpas was furious because of the "mutual suspicion" of his comrades, and was eventually teleported away by Su.
The plot had just begun, and the players were instantly brought back to that hair-raising feeling that arose from Ancestor Kaiwen's sudden death.
However, the sense of anticipation was also instantly pulled up.
At this moment, Sister Yidian in the game.
With Elysia and Ancestor Kaiwen having successively gone offline, she, as the 【third】 among the Flame-Chasers, ultimately had no choice but to step forward to take charge of the big picture.
She first instructed Kosma to protect Griseo's safety.
And she herself intended to head to the 【Deepest Depths】 to confirm Aponia's safety.
Then she asked Cat to go patrol the shortcuts and small paths in the Elysian Realm to avoid missing any clues.
Hearing Sister Yidian's words, Cat was also thoughtful: "Indeed... to do bad things in the Elysian Realm while hiding from everyone, one must take various shortcuts and small paths to avoid being discovered by us..."
"Eh?" Thinking of this, Cat's tail stood straight up: "Then... then wouldn't I possibly run straight into the murderer?!"
Sister Yidian: "Just keep a lookout, your safety is what's important."
Miss Miss Paduo: "..."
Although a bit scared, she still agreed with a trembling voice.
"O-okay, I'll try... anyway, running away is what I'm best at..."
Seeing Cat's cowardly look, the players were amused to no end.
They shouted that Cat was truly cute.
And seeing this, Mei also thought of Cat's ending.
"Full of malice..." she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As for Kiana, she also knew Cat's ending, and at this moment, she suspected whether Cat was "cut" during this scouting mission...
"Don't go, Sister Miss Miss Paduo..." Amidst her worry, she couldn't help but murmur.
……
Unfortunately, the game's plot had long been fixed.
After arranging for Cat and Kosma, Sister Yidian called Mei away alone.
"Sister Yidian, what do you need me to do?"
Sister Yidian didn't tell Mei immediately, but looked at the surrounding scenery, slightly lost in thought.
"As you can see, the vast majority of Flame-Chasers are aware of the current situation, but Aponia, Vill-V, and Dr. Mobius... they are not here."
"It seems... it's not just us who have changed because of Elysia's departure."
Speaking of Elysia, Sister Yidian's tone was clearly somewhat dejected.
"It is indeed as Su said, after Elysia disappeared, even the Elysian Realm itself was affected; after all, everything that constitutes this place is her memories."
"Looking at this scenery, I can truly feel..."
"Elysia... she is indeed gone."
This was the first time Mei had seen Sister Yidian like this.
"Indeed, Miss Mei... even for me, there are times when I am out of character."
While speaking, Sister Yidian extended her hand, and a golden light bloomed from her fingertips, gradually condensing into a crystal flower...
"This is?" Mei felt that she seemed to have seen this flower somewhere before.
"Very beautiful, right? Just like 【her】..."
"I always carry it with me; it makes me think of her appearance, her smile... her love for everyone."
"And now, just when I was almost swallowed by the sadness of 【parting with her again】... it was also this light that once again pointed out the direction for me."
"It said this to me... go stand under the spotlight and keep everyone together, just like she once did..."
Upon seeing this, when Sister Yidian mentioned Elysia, the players' hearts couldn't help but feel slightly blocked, and their moods became incredibly low.
Coupled with the BGM carrying the sorrow of parting... it was even more heartbreaking.
It made one involuntarily recall Elysia's pure and flawless smiling face.
Bullet comments also drifted by frequently.
【Elysia... Elysia... wuwuwu...】
【miHoYo, you have no heart QAQ】
【miHoYo, I can't sleep wuwuwu...】
【The plot has only just begun, and miHoYo has already given us a blow...】
【Elysia is dead, Elysia is dead, Elysia is dead...】
【The person above!! You'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight wuwuwu...】
……
This segment of the plot didn't have anything special in itself.
But... just because Sister Yidian mentioned Elysia, it inexplicably made people feel uncomfortable.
Even Kiana, while listening to Sister Yidian's narration, was slightly frowning and pursing her lips.
It seemed that she wasn't feeling very well inside either.
On the contrary, Mei, because she knew the later plot, felt much better.
……
On the other side.
End of Chapter
