[In Elysia's Livestream Room.]
When watching Kiana and Raiden Mei clearly care so much about each other, yet are forced to separate, Eden, who always presents herself with elegance, actually couldn't help but cry.
Seeing this, Elysia hurriedly pulled Eden into her arms and gently comforted her.
After Eden cried, the livestream's bullet comments instantly exploded.
[Eden cried!]
[MiHoyo you have no heart!!]
[MiHoyo you've done all kinds of evil things!!!]
[Actually made my Eden cry, MiHoyo you really deserve to die!]
[@MiHoyo screenwriter Come here! Tonight I'm going to hold you tightly while sleeping hum hum ah ah ah ah!!!]
———
[Back to the Video.]
Just when people thought the story was about to end, the video screen lit up again, showing the area not far from the rooftop where Kiana was.
And over there stood a man wearing a cloak.
When seeing this, the bullet comments that were just yelling about giving MiHoyo a piece of their mind instantly changed face.
Because they knew, this cloaked man was the Van who appeared in the teaser.
[Though, Van, you're finally online!]
[It wasn't easy, do you know how I've gotten through these past days!]
[Van! I missed you!]
———
Amid the flood of bullet comments, the cloaked Van also arrived at the rooftop where Kiana was.
Just when people were expecting Van's arrival to save Kiana and chase after Raiden Mei, the video screen suddenly took a twist.
Because they suddenly discovered that the look Van gave Kiana was not as gentle and doting as before.
Instead, it was extremely cold.
In the video, Van, with a cold expression, stretched out his hand toward Kiana's direction, a purple light surged from the palm of his hand.
And the unconscious Kiana seemed to have a premonition of something, her expression became pained.
———
[No way bro! What's going on???]
[WTF, Van what are you doing?]
[Van's eyes aren't right, could it be because he was injured by Kiana before and turned evil?]
[Or maybe he was brainwashed by Mobius from the Sea of Quanta?]
———
[Back to the Video.]
At this moment, a streak of flowing light suddenly descended from the sky, and Fu Hua in her armor appeared on screen.
As soon as Fu Hua opened her mouth, the bullet comments broke.
"Van! What are you doing! Don't you know forcefully stripping Herrscher authority will kill Kiana!"
However, what answered Fu Hua was Van's cold voice, "I know. But for the plan to succeed, this is a necessary sacrifice."
"You're insane!"
Seeing the determined Van, Fu Hua immediately took a battle stance.
However, just as Fu Hua was preparing to activate her Shadow Knight armor, Van had already made his move before her.
"Hua, what are you trying to do?" Van's cold voice sounded beside Fu Hua.
Seeing this, Fu Hua immediately swung a punch, which Van easily blocked.
"Hua, give up. You're not my opponent."
After speaking, Van waved his hand and threw Fu Hua directly out.
In midair, Fu Hua forcefully stabilized her body and landed on the ground. Facing this unfamiliar Van, Fu Hua's heart was filled with deep regret.
She didn't know why the other party seemed like a completely different person after returning from the Sea of Quanta.
Thinking of this, Fu Hua clenched her teeth and forcibly gathered the energy within her body.
"I don't know why you've turned out like this, but no matter what, I won't let you hurt Kiana!"
"Hua... do you think I'll give you the chance to use it?"
Before the words finished, Van's right hand formed a claw and grabbed forward, casually waving.
Fu Hua only felt a tightness in her chest, her whole body was lifted by an invisible force and heavily thrown to the edge of the rooftop.
Immediately after, before Fu Hua could react, a sword light capable of destroying all things passed by her side, slicing the nearby school building clean in half.
Feeling the cold blade on her neck, a drop of cold sweat slipped down Fu Hua's forehead.
'Van... Just now, did he really intend to kill me?'
After shocking Fu Hua, Van turned around and put away the sword, and that cold voice came again,
"One more thing, Hua... I am Van. From now on, stop using that counterfeit name to call me... Just a mere memory body, how dare it compare with me?"
———
At this point, the bullet comment audience finally understood the backstory.
[Did I hear wrong? So the previous Van was actually a memory body, and the one now in front of Fu Hua is the real body?]
[Memory body what the hell is that!]
[The guy upstairs didn't watch the Elysian Realm extra chapter, huh? You should go catch up to understand]
[This is way too heartbreaking, the formerly gentle Van was just a memory body?]
[I don't care I don't care! Van is Van, I don't care if he's a memory body!]
[Exactly! And this current Van didn't even do anything yet dares to say he's the real one?]
———
[In the Real World.]
After watching this scene, Fu Hua subconsciously looked at Van.
Although his expression was still as calm as water, Van felt a storm in it.
"That... Hua, you know, everything was part of the plan..."
"So this is the reason you lied to me?"
The conversation between the two also piqued Himeko's curiosity.
Although she roughly understood what happened, some things are more interesting when heard from the person involved.
So, under Fu Hua's threatening gaze, Van laid out the whole story.
In summary, the Van who now claims to be the original in the scene is actually the memory body.
In order to carry out a certain plan, Van deliberately planted false memories into the memory body during synchronization, making him believe he was the original.
And on this basis, Van also added a few crazy-person traits to his memory body.
Because only this way could the memory body possibly be selected by the Herrscher consciousness and become a Herrscher.
Meanwhile, the real Van became Feather Dust, helping Kiana and the others continue forward on the path ahead.
Upon hearing this, Himeko couldn't help but tease, "Van, tricking little girls like this, you're going to get your retribution~"
It would've been fine if Himeko hadn't said this, but as soon as she did, Fu Hua's eyes, just calmed down, became sharp again.
'Himeko! Aiyo, what are you doing~'
"So, Van, you still haven't answered my question. Why didn't you tell me the truth back then?"
Looking at the Fu Hua beside him staring unblinkingly at him, and Himeko fanning the flames on the side from time to time...
And also Mobius, who would soon return to Changkong City and planned to drag him into experiments...
Van felt like his days were numbered.
