Chapter 221: This plot content is so sweet! Truly top-tier!
"I'm sorry. For certain reasons, there are some things… I cannot fully disclose to you right now. But there are also things I should be honest with you about."
"The Watchmaker's legacy is indeed what I seek, but we don't necessarily have to part ways or stand in opposition. At least… I don't want that to happen."
After Firefly said these words.
An option appeared for the protagonist.
[ I hope so too. ]
[ I cannot give you a promise… ]
[ I cannot trust someone who hides things. ]
[ Who exactly are you? ]
Guinaifen pondered for a moment.
She muttered to herself, "Although I can feel that Firefly is indeed hiding something, she really is a very good girl. I believe she won't harm us."
"It's just a feeling!"
"I, Little Gui, have always been a good judge of character!"
She immediately chose the first option: [ I hope so too. ]
The viewers in the livestream also actively posted comments.
…
"She just wants to live, what did she do wrong?"
"Wuwuwu, turn off the sound!"
"Can Firefly cure her illness if she gets the legacy?"
"If that's the case… the Trailblazer must go to the Penacony festival! And get the Watchmaker's legacy!"
"This secret base is about to become a viral check-in spot."
"Damn! I was just feeling sad, the one who mentioned the viral check-in, stand still!"
…
In the hotel lounge.
Seeing this scene in the plot.
Firefly felt a mix of complicated emotions.
For the first time, her existence was known by so many people, and the illness she suffered from was also exposed…
Being paid attention to by so many people as Firefly.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Even for her, it took time to get used to it.
She took a few deep breaths.
Finally, she calmed down quite a bit.
"It's really nice…"
"Leaving so many traces in this world as Firefly…"
Just then.
A sentence said by her character in the plot.
Made Firefly pause slightly!
"I dreamed of a scorched earth. A new shoot sprouted from the earth. It bloomed in the morning sun and whispered to me."
This sentence.
Was something buried deep in Firefly's heart.
A sentence with special meaning!
I didn't expect Feathered Spirit to even know this sentence!
And even put it into the game!
"Could it be… that Feathered Spirit possesses something similar to a [ Script ]?"
"It records the life of every living being in the universe…"
At this moment.
In Firefly's heart.
Feathered Spirit's image had been infinitely elevated.
Almost approaching the level of an Aeon.
And perhaps.
Only Firefly herself knew.
This sentence had a second half.
"I dreamed of a scorched earth. A new shoot sprouted from the earth. It bloomed in the morning sun and whispered to me. Like fireflies to a flame, life begets death."
There was no time to reminisce about the past.
Next.
She actually gave another answer in the plot.
"Remember the question on the invitation—Why does life slumber?"
"Look, in this land of dreams, everything is permitted, everything is possible. The unbearable past fades away like bubbles, and the tomorrow one is unwilling to face will never come."
"Why do people choose to sleep? I think…"
"It's because they are afraid of waking up from the dream."
Firefly couldn't help but open her mouth.
It was as if… she was witnessing another version of herself!
Before, when watching the game plot, she hadn't felt so empathetic.
But now.
Firefly felt.
The plot of this game understood her even better than she understood herself!
Some things.
Even if there is an answer in the heart, expressing it is another matter entirely.
And "Honkai: Star Rail" had undoubtedly achieved this.
No wonder this game could become such a masterpiece that influences the entire universe today!
Firefly finally understood its unique charm today!
On the livestream screen.
Little Gui wiped the corner of her eye with a tissue.
She sighed, "I still don't know if she is a friend or a foe, but at least for this moment, I wish her all the beauty in the universe~"
"Thank you…"
Firefly was somewhat moved.
At this moment!
This game.
Had crossed time and space!
Actually making two girls who had never met resonate with each other!
It could be called miraculous!
"Time to take a photo with Firefly!"
Guinaifen beamed with joy.
Options to accept or decline appeared in the game.
"Does anyone really refuse to take a photo with Firefly?"
Adjusting the camera.
At this moment.
The BGM was also gradually rising.
"Wait a moment, let me get ready…"
After Firefly finished this sentence.
The screen suddenly plunged into darkness.
Only the subtitles below appeared.
"Alright! Let's start."
"One…"
"Two…"
Guinaifen's hand suddenly trembled slightly.
The completely black background made her feel a hint of foreboding!
Could it be…!?
She thought of the endings of some side quests.
According to Feathered Spirit's style.
If he wanted to break our hearts…
Perhaps the next scene would be like this—
After pressing the shutter.
In the lens.
Only the protagonist was taking a selfie alone.
And Firefly beside her.
Had vanished in that instant…
The more Guinaifen thought about it, the more possible it felt!
She was even afraid to continue.
It shouldn't be…
It shouldn't be!
Feathered Spirit shouldn't be messing with us at this time, right!?
She still clicked to continue.
Continuing the dialogue.
WITH FIREFLY'S "CHEESE—!"
A clean and bright selfie appeared on the screen.
In the picture.
Both were making peace signs.
Stelle looked generous and confident.
Firefly looked happy with a touch of cuteness.
Time,
Was so peaceful!
…
"Little Gui, are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Wuwuwu…"
"The BGM is always hitting hard!"
"Accidentally burst into tears."
"Firefly even specially tied up her hair."
"Both of them are so cute!"
"At this point, it has become art!"
"The sunlight from behind reflects, highlighting the most sincere smiles of the two in the photo."
"At this moment, this beauty remains forever."
"Must protect this beauty!"
…
Realizing she had overthought it.
Guinaifen let out a long sigh of relief.
"As expected, Feathered Spirit isn't that ruthless…"
"Only just met Firefly and already throwing knives."
"This plot is really positive and wholesome!"
"I declare: 'Honkai: Star Rail' is indeed a positive, wholesome, and uplifting game!"
At this moment.
The game prompted that a message had been received.
From [ Astral Express Family ]
[ Himeko: Everyone, are you having fun? ]
[ March 7th: It's fun, but… ]
[ March 7th: But I feel like something is wrong… ]
[ March 7th: It feels unreal, strange, I can't put my finger on it. ]
[ Stelle: After all, it's in a dream. ]
[ March 7th: I met a man wearing a plaster head at the auction; he left without doing anything, very suspicious. ]
[ Welt: I also have some unpleasant discoveries. The situation is complicated, better to talk in person. ]
[ Himeko: Me too. ]
[ Himeko: Looks like it's time to return to reality. ]
[ Himeko: Meet in my room. ]
"Ah?"
Guinaifen was stunned after reading the message.
"So only our protagonist is enjoying a happy date?"
"Everyone else feels something is wrong?"
"What's wrong with it? Isn't this quite good~"
…
"Wearing a plaster head? Godfather, is that you!"
"The plot is this sweet? Logging in!"
"Now I really don't want to wake up."
"March 7th, don't contact me anymore, I'm afraid Firefly will misunderstand [ doge ]"
…
Firefly said with some regret, "Are you going back? Time flies so fast."
"I also plan to return to reality to rest… Let's go, let's part ways at the Golden Hour."
After Firefly finished this sentence.
A prompt popped up on the interface.
[ Obtained Item: "Keep a Heart Free from Sorrow" ]
Guinaifen's eyes lit up.
"Good, good, good! We actually got a record disc!"
"I'm going to put this song on repeat on the Express!"
