Chapter 230: Firefly got "stabbed"! Guinaifen breaks down!
With a "ding."
The screen displayed the scene.
This was the hotel lobby.
An empty corridor.
The air seemed to be separated by a faint layer of mist.
Acheron immediately warned, "Careful! There's a dangerous aura nearby."
"Everyone, stay alert."
Guinaifen realized.
Something was very wrong!
It was too quiet.
Not a single person in sight!
Combined with the warnings from Acheron and Black Swan.
That feeling of the calm before the storm was already palpable!
Just as they reached the front desk.
They saw a figure in the distance, gazing out from beside the railing.
Long silver hair.
With some green elements on her attire…
"That's right!"
"It's Firefly!"
Seeing the figure there.
Little Gui didn't care anymore.
She immediately switched to Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae.
"Cloud-Strider!"
With the experience of racing against Bailu, she now had a deeper understanding of drifting around corners like a High Elder.
"VROOM VROOM VROOM!!!"
Relying on the burst movement speed provided by Dan Heng, she arrived at the scene in an instant.
Firefly seemed to notice someone approaching from behind.
She turned around vigilantly at first.
Only upon seeing Stelle did she reveal a look of surprise and delight.
Little Gui let out a huge sigh of relief!
Patting her chest, she exclaimed:
"Great!"
"She's okay!"
"Made it in time!"
"Thank goodness, that scared me to death."
"That part in the elevator earlier was really oppressive."
Stelle smiled back at her.
She immediately ran over.
However.
At this moment.
The scene shifted to a long-distance perspective.
One could see.
A purple mist suddenly appearing in the space above.
A flash of red light.
A sharp claw rapidly reached out from within.
It bypassed Acheron and Black Swan.
It even bypassed Stelle directly.
It headed straight for the stunned Firefly!
Firefly was shoved forward by Something Unto Death.
It was as if she had been swept into the air.
The monster circled behind Firefly.
"Hum!"
The sharp metallic blade instantly pierced through Firefly!
Stelle, Acheron, and Black Swan were all stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Tears welled up in the corners of Firefly's eyes.
"I'm… sorry…"
As the words fell.
The monster seemed puzzled as to why Firefly still had the chance to utter her last words.
Its eerie purple eyes shifted.
"Hum!"
It stabbed violently once more!
Firefly's tears immediately burst forth like a dam.
They slid down her cheeks.
Firefly's body fell limply from the air.
Stelle scrambled over, trying to catch Firefly.
She didn't even care about her baseball bat anymore!
However.
When she held Firefly in her arms.
She suddenly vanished.
Turning into a puddle of light blue liquid splattered on the ground.
…
"???"
"Huh?"
"It's over."
"RIP."
" 'Thank goodness'."
" 'Made it in time'."
"Can't be good at all."
"I'm stunned."
"Bailu, save her!"
"Ahhhhhhhh"
"I can't do anything!"
"[ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ]"
"Take off those sunglasses!"
"I volunteer to join the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
"Dragon Transformation Technique, activate!"
"Dan Feng, lead us in another Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae!"
"Acheron is acting!"
"She turned Firefly into a pulp right in front of the three of us? Is there any justice? Is there any law?"
"Why didn't she stab Stelle first!"
"Stelle: Hello."
…
In the live stream.
Guinaifen was completely dazed.
It was as if the screen had frozen.
But the frantically surging comments proved it hadn't frozen.
Describing Little Gui as "dumbfounded" was no longer sufficient; it was more like her brain had short-circuited.
She was completely wrecked!
She didn't react for a long time.
Just like that, she was gone?
Really gone?
???
…
"Streamer, say something!"
" 'Only Silence'."
"Hate Imbibitor Lunae, sympathize with Imbibitor Lunae, learn from Imbibitor Lunae, become Imbibitor Lunae, surpass Imbibitor Lunae."
" 'Only Silence'—now you know why it's a Hunt Light Cone?"
"Your silence is deafening."
"Friendly reminder: This is not a frozen screen."
"Why isn't the streamer talking? Does she not like to talk?"
"Damn it, you guys have no heart! How can you still be in the mood to joke?"
"What a fast blade."
"I suddenly, peacefully, died,"
"Little Gui, say something, don't be like this, I'm scared!"
…
After a long silence.
Little Gui finally took a deep breath.
Tremblingly, she spoke: "Firefly… does she have some kind of… clone mechanism? …ability?"
"Like some kind of water clone or something…"
"I mean… this is just one of her clones, right… so…"
Little Gui's voice got quieter as she spoke.
It was as if her language module had malfunctioned.
Obviously.
She couldn't even convince herself with this excuse.
After passing the initial stage of her brain crashing.
She arrived at the second stage of self-deception.
With a deep exhale.
Mist appeared in her eyes.
"Wuuuuuuu…"
"It's too sudden…"
"I knew this might happen, BUT…!!!"
"You're too fast…!"
"Really, it's too sudden…!!"
And at this exact moment.
Acheron came over and asked: "Are… are you okay?"
Although Acheron was worried about the protagonist's mental state.
But obviously.
At this time.
This remark seemed somewhat low in emotional intelligence.
Little Gui froze.
The chat exploded instantly!
…
" 'Are you okay?' "
"Do you think I'm okay?"
"I'm great! Better than ever!"
"Hahahaha I'm fine!"
"This is… hell…"
"I'll kill you!!"
"No pr-oblem, everything is fine at the gravesite"
"Little Gui can do nothing."
…
"Cough… cough…"
Little Gui sobbed while coughing.
She hurriedly got up from her seat.
Five minutes later…
Little Gui returned.
She must have washed her face.
Her eyes were still a bit red.
She took a deep breath.
It seemed she had adjusted quite a bit.
She said aggrievedly: "It's just… too sudden."
"Really too sudden…"
"I wasn't ready…"
"I knew it might… might happen… but… it was a bit too fast…"
"Really too sudden…"
The light blue liquid on the ground had already disappeared.
But there was still a sparkling point to investigate.
She walked forward.
Investigated.
A selfie appeared.
It was the one taken with Firefly on the rooftop earlier.
In the photo.
Firefly was cute and well-behaved.
Stelle was generous and confident.
[ Half of a phone that was about to dissipate lay on the ground, with an unsent message remaining… a photo of the two of them, the two people in the photo smiling very happily. ]
[ (Pick it up) ]
[ The phone completely dissipated, turning into dream bubbles and fading away. ]
Guinaifen froze again!
At this moment, the background music suddenly played.
It was a softly hummed version of "If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking."
Little Gui fell into silence once more.
…
"Only Silence x 2"
"Fatal blow!"
"Good, good, good…"
"Follow-up attack"
"[ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ][ Sunglasses ]"
"So cruel!"
"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Killing and then twisting the knife?"
"Break Effect!"
"Going crazy with the killing!"
"Little Gui, stop lying to yourself."
"Too painful!"
"Dao heart shattered"
"I will create a world with Firefly!"
"The dead shall return, let's go, Luocha, it's time to set off."
