"???"
"Is this image genuine?"
"The composition is exquisite, and the details are incredibly refined... it's definitely Yu Ling's in-game style."
"Those previous leak images looked fake at first glance, but this one... I'm really not so sure~."
"Black Swan... she's a Memokeeper, no wonder no one knew her, and she's privy to so many secrets about the Aeons."
"Congratulations to [The Most Honest Person in Aurum Alley] for becoming the third leak master!"
"Limited 5-star, Nihility Path, Wind element...? With all that purple on her, I'd believe it if you told me she was Quantum, but Wind element instead?"
...
The live stream chat was scrolling like crazy.
After carefully studying the artwork, Guinaifen was also deeply impressed.
Just after the release of one of the fables about the starry sky, this leaked artwork appeared.
It's impossible not to let the imagination run wild!
However.
This wasn't the end.
Guinaifen discovered.
There was another character artwork below!
[The Most Honest Person in Aurum Alley] had leaked two new characters at once!
[Sparkle]
[5-star, Harmony, Quantum Attribute]
[One of the members of the Masked Fools, elusive, obsessed with role-playing.]
Seeing this artwork.
Guinaifen was shocked.
"The quality, the art style..."
"Did this leak master steal it directly from Yu Ling's studio?"
"Little Gui, I believe it!"
"Black Swan, Sparkle... they are definitely new characters that will be introduced in future versions!"
Due to Guinaifen's viewing.
This post was instantly known by a vast number of players.
What followed.
Was a massive influx of players.
Within just a few minutes.
Hundreds of comments appeared below.
"Black Swan's aura is just too high, isn't it? I have to pull for her now!"
"She gives off the vibe of another bad woman, I wonder if she can team up with Kafka?"
"Nihility Path, definitely a team player!"
"Could it be... that the dot team is about to reach its complete form?"
"I knew Yu Ling wouldn't let Kafka's strength remain just passable, the new support Black Swan is coming!"
Besides Black Swan.
There was also a lot of discussion about the new character Sparkle!
"Such a cute little girl, and you're telling me she's a [Masked Fool]?"
"I already liked her... now I like her even more!"
"Quantum Attribute? Dressed all in red, even her name has 'fire' in it, and you're telling me she's Quantum Attribute?"
"Could the attribute and Path just be random guesses by some expert?"
"I believe in the [Honest] expert! Since she dared to reveal these two character arts, she definitely wouldn't just randomly fill in the attributes and Path!"
"Exactly! I think it's very reasonable, Yu Ling's positioning is free."
"If that's the case, then our Quantum fleet is about to be complete!"
"Has my Seele finally waited for her support? (crying)"
"Quantum fleet, take off!"
"Honest expert from Aurum Alley, dare to reveal a bit more, like the skills of Black Swan and Sparkle..."
The enthusiastic comments from players.
Made this post skyrocket to the front page of the forum.
Various moderators were eager to repost it.
"Yu Ling's character arts for future versions suspected to be leaked!"
"Another insider expert has emerged!"
"The woman who foretells the Aeon... her true identity is actually a Memokeeper from the Garden of Recollection!"
"Limited five-star Nihility! Kafka's strongest teammate is finally here!"
"As expected! Five-star Quantum Harmony, Lady Sparkle is here!"
"Can your wallet handle it? Two new characters are about to become the new era's must-haves!"
...
In Little Gui's live stream.
Guinaifen gradually calmed down from her excitement.
She browsed some related speculation posts.
But most of them didn't have much substantial content.
They were all just speculations based on the attributes and Path shown in the character arts.
"Folks, most players now believe..."
"That Black Swan should be a member of Kafka's dot team."
"And Sparkle is the dedicated support for the Quantum team."
"Little Gui also thinks it's pretty much spot on."
"But as for the specifics."
"Perhaps we'll only know when the actual characters are released..."
While sharing her thoughts.
Guinaifen continued with her tasks on Luofu.
After the Heliobus incident ended.
She thought this quest was over.
But unexpectedly, she received a message from herself in the game.
Arriving at Fyxestroll Garden.
A Ghost-Hunting Squad had already been formed, under the directive of the Ten-Lords Commission.
The previous battle with Cirrus had caused many Heliobus to escape.
And the in-game version of herself planned to use Luofu Xianzhou's largest paranormal website to gather information.
Thus.
This new quest was initiated.
If it weren't for Yu Ling suddenly releasing the new PV, Guinaifen estimated she would have already started ghost hunting by now.
Near a corridor in Fyxestroll Garden.
A temporary office area had been set up here.
At this moment.
Not only was I present, but also Shangshang and Huohuo.
Including the protagonist.
A four-person team has been assembled.
As Hanya put it—"This is a team established by the decree of the Ten-Lords Commission. We wish to invite those who remained unharmed after the recent disaster in Fyxestroll Garden to use their most proficient methods to locate and subdue the Heliobus."
"The official name recorded should be the Special Task Force for Heliobus Escape Incidents under the Ten-Lords Commission."
After explaining the matter.
Hanya left to continue handling affairs in Fyxestroll Garden.
Guinaifen excitedly spoke in front of the camera: "Folks, I didn't expect this mission to have a follow-up!"
"Little Gui is still part of this mission!"
"And I feel… I'm going to make a big contribution in this mission!"
"Collecting supernatural experiences from the Ghostly Grove website, then our ghost-hunting team will analyze and verify them before heading out to resolve the issues ourselves…"
"This is so much fun!"
"Something I could only dream of is actually happening in the game!"
At this moment in the livestream.
The players' discussions were exceptionally heated!
...
"This Heliobus mission has a follow-up?"
"Now the missions in the game have evolved into online office work?"
"'I'm Browsing Forums in the Game'"
"They actually made a web interface!?"
"Does Yu Ling usually enjoy surfing the web?"
"This mission seems quite substantial…"
"Does this game even have a downtime? There are still so many hidden missions!"
"Don't forget! There's still a lot of content in this major version that hasn't been uncovered yet, and there are still two limited five-star characters who haven't appeared in the story!"
"Huh? Aren't those two limited five-stars Black Swan and Sparkle?"
"Black Swan and Sparkle are characters for future versions. There are still two hidden characters in the current version."
"Damn, there's so much content I didn't know about!"
"Yu Ling, how much more are you hiding!"
"Other games try their best to add content to retain players, but in 'Honkai: Star Rail,' the players are trying to keep up with the developers' speed!"
"It's completely upside down!"
...
Divination Commission.
After reading one of the fables about the stars.
Fu Xuan gently touched her forehead with one hand.
"The amount of information is a bit overwhelming…"
The video released by Yu Ling this time gave her a sense of trepidation.
He is no longer satisfied with exposing reality or predicting the future.
Now he's actually starting to analyze the Aeons!
Even Fu Xuan.
Felt that all of this was somewhat too crazy.
After recording the various pieces of information revealed in the video.
Fu Xuan sat in her seat and let out a slight sigh of relief.
"However…"
"Regarding the Paths, the Aeons… after all, they are too distant from most people in this world."
"It won't cause any major chaos in reality."
She had just contacted Jing Yuan as well.
Jing Yuan shared a similar sentiment.
Although the content of this video is vast and will shock countless players, the things it discusses are too far removed.
Even if these secrets are exposed, they won't have any immediate impact on Luofu, or rather, Xianzhou, in the short term.
However.
Even so.
Fu Xuan still plans to use her own account to monitor the direction of the online discourse.
In the previous video.
Some users who praised the benevolent Medicine King had their IDs marked by the Ten-Lords Commission.
Those within the Luofu territory would inevitably be investigated by the Ten-Lords Commission.
After browsing through various websites.
No unusual trends were found for the time being.
Fu Xuan returned to Little Gui's live stream.
"Hmm?"
"Ghost-hunting mission?"
"Supernatural events on Luofu?"
"Cirrus has already been sealed. If other Heliobus have escaped, it shouldn't cause any major issues."
With this in mind.
Fu Xuan stayed in the live stream.
And began watching this plot unfold.
