Chapter 131 Confession under the sea of flowers, Kongming's thousand years of waiting!

The audience laughed and complained, and the Captain and Stargazer in the game had already arrived at the location where the last formation was set up.

At night, the Captain sat by the campfire, eating sakura cakes and talking to Tesla Zero.

From their conversation, everyone learned that Tesla Zero seems to be staying, and this is also a part of history.

Later, seeing Kongming not returning for too long, the captain was a little worried, so he followed the footsteps of her and groped his way through the dark forest.

In this darkness, the narration of the captain's heart sounded again.

[On the same night, I followed her footsteps, and there was the same unknown and darkness ahead. ]

[I don't know how long I have been walking along that trail ... maybe it has been so long that even I have forgotten the meaning of moving forward. ]

[And what took me out of that darkness at that time was a beam of light. ]

[A beam of light that is not dazzling, but warm. ]

[The same is true at this moment. . ]

Seeing the captain's somewhat sad inner monologue again, Elysia and others had some doubts.

Before, they thought that the captain was thinking of Luna, but now it seems that is not the case.

Let's not talk about why we think of Luna again and again in front of Kongming, and the beam of light that finally leads the captain out of the darkness. This does not seem to exist in Luna's story.

But if it's not Luna, whose shadow is the captain chasing?

Such questions emerged in everyone's heart, but they had no time to think about it, because at the next moment, all their thoughts were attracted by the beautiful figure in front of them.

[ " What a nice view ....." ]

Kongming and lighting sky lanterns by the lake to the pure music of The Day You Vanished with the Stars.

The warm light illuminated her beautiful face, and even the flowers around her swayed.

The stunning scenery of this scene, like the dance under the moon, will forever be imprinted in the hearts of every player.

The captain couldn't help but murmur.

[ " It's beautiful, right? It's a pity that I only have enough materials to make another sky lantern. " ]

[Kongming looked at the sky lantern in front of her with a soft expression, as if she was lost in memories. ]

[What she doesn't know is that the beauty the captain talking about is not referring to sky lanterns. ]

[ " Every Mid-Autumn Festival in the past, no matter how busy my grandfather was, he would make ninety-nine sky lanterns with me and let them fly. He said that although grandma has left me, she has not forgotten me, but has turned into a star and has been protecting me. . " ]

[ " So, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we also need to use this sky lantern to send our thoughts to grandma. " ]

[ " I have said more than once that no matter how far the sky lantern flies, it will never reach the distance where the stars are, but Grandpa always believes it. " ]

[Kongming's voice became gentler and gentler, " This is a thing to express my longing for, and it will definitely send my words to the infinite distance ... Grandpa has always believed this ... Always has been. " ]

[ " Yes, it must be possible. " The captain affirmed without hesitation. ]

[ " Eh? " ]

[ " Even if this sky lantern cannot reach where the stars are, the thoughts contained in it can definitely be sent to a place farther away than the stars. " ]

[ " ... But even so, Mr. Assassin, my thoughts can't use this sky lantern to reach your destination, right? " ]

[Kongming turns his gaze to the captain, with a hint of sadness and unspeakable emotions in her blue eyes. ]

[ " After all ... that is the [future] that even I can't touch ..." ]

" Stargazer ... did she actually guess it? "

Elysia, who was immersed in this heartwarming scene, suddenly showed a surprised expression when she heard Kongming suddenly say such a sentence.

" Sure enough, even if she was young in the past, she is still the resourceful Sage King/Grand Seeres ..."

" Oh, what if she guessed it? She and the captain have to eventually separate. "

Kevin reminded faintly.

".... Kevin, you don't have to speak if you don't know how to speak. "

[But having said that, if nothing else happens, the grandfather of this world Stargazer should also be Otto, right? Could it be that the grandma who is watching the stars is Kallen? ]

[I burst into tears. If it is really Kallen, then the Bishop will have fulfilled his dream in this world. ]

Elysia was stunned for a moment after seeing the comments made by the barrages, and quickly asked Su Mu,

" Su Mu, are the grandparents watching over Kongming really Otto and Kallen? "

" um, Yes. "

Su Mu smiled and nodded.

Although Otto can't get along with Kallen in the original world, in other worlds, MiHoYo doesn't mind making Otto fans ecstatic.

" Wait a minute ... So that means Kiana in this world has become the daughter of Otto and Kallen? "

Elysia's expression suddenly became a little weird.

Good guy, in the original world, Kiana wanted to crush Otto to ashes, but in this world, she became Otto's daughter. This is too tricky.

" Su Mu, did you do this on purpose? "

" Ahem, don't worry about such details ~~"

" But the person you wrote about sending your thoughts to the distance through sky lanterns is quite romantic. Is this also a Chinese tradition? "

Elysia said curiously.

" Of course, releasing sky lanterns is a tradition that has been passed down in China since ancient times. It is just a matter of writing your wishes on the lanterns and then releasing them to pray for your wishes to come true. "

" It's so interesting! If we have time someday, let's put out sky lanterns too! "

Elysia's eyes suddenly lit up.

With her character, she really would not let such an interesting thing go.

" You think too much. How can we put up sky lanterns now? "

Su Mu rolled his eyes.

" Now that we can't even set off fireworks in the city, you still want to set off sky lanterns? And even in the mountains and forests, it is now forbidden to set off sky lanterns. "

" Ah ... why is this like this ..."

Elysia instantly showed a disappointed expression.

She also wanted everyone to play with the sky lanterns together. The scene was very interesting just thinking about it, but unfortunately the plan was aborted before it even started.

So Elysia could only continue to look at the pictures in the game with a depressed mood.

If she can't put up the sky lantern, just let her look at the sky lanterns in the game a few more times.

At this time, the atmosphere between the captain and Stargazer has reached a climax.

Kongming knew that if if hadn't been for the captain, she would have been buried in that sea of trees long ago.

But the captain repeatedly stated that he would never let that happen.

[ " I understand ... Mr. Assassin, after all, that's the kind of person you are. " ]

[Kongming's eyes are gentle. Under the warm dim light of the sky lantern, her eyes seem to be filled with thousands of emotions. ]

[ " Perhaps you haven't even noticed it yourself, Mr. Assassin, there is an almost stubborn persistence in your eyes at all times. " ]

[ " That is the look in the eyes of someone who has lost something precious and struggled for it countless times ... but it is also the look that makes me feel most at ease. " ]

[ " No matter what kind of desperate situation I face, you will always stand in front of me, believe in and protect me, even if you faced General Durandal that day, you would not hesitate to risk your life ..." ]

[ " You stopped me ..." The captain scratched his face in embarrassment. ]

[Kongming smiled and said, " Hey, do you want me to watch you die? " ]

[ " How will you know if you don't try it and see ..." ]

[Before the captain finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness rushing into his brain. His vision was blurred, and his legs gradually lost strength. He could only rely on the last bit of strength to lean on the tree trunk next to him. ]

Seeing the fallen captain, Kongming was not surprised at all, but showed a relieved expression.

Facing the surprised captain, she explained that those Sakura cakes were actually mixed with knockout drops.

This unexpected situation also surprised everyone in the live broadcast room.

The surprise was because they didn't know why Kongming did this, but they understood the reason why Kongming found Yae Sakura before.

" No, who do you want to knock-out captain? "

Elysia said in confusion.

As the only one present who was not single, Kevin understood.

" It's simple, because she doesn't want the captain to fight for her anymore. "

Kevin sighed. Having a lover, he could understand the Kongming's idea this time.

" The captain has been injured twice for her, and she also knows that the captain is the kind of person who will never give up no matter how many times he fails, so when she is about to fight the alien beast, she doesn't want the captain to do it again. She didnt want to captain to be injured in order to protect herself, so she knocked the captain unconscious. "

" So this is ah ....."

Elysia and everyone in the live broadcast room suddenly realized.

In fact, it's not that she can't figure it out, it just takes some time. After all, she's still single and can't jump into it instantly.

" Hmph, so women are troublesome. "

Brother Kalpas snorted and said a little arrogantly.

" But to put it this way, Kongming really treats the captain too ..."

Elysia also understood the meaning, and suddenly looked at the game screen with some confusion.

[ " Kongming ... Why are you ..." ]

[ " To protect the people I should protect. " ]

[Kongming walked up to the captain and gently touched his cheek with his hand. The captain's panicked expression was reflected in his blue eyes. ]

[ " The formation eye has been completed, and the strange beast will appear at the undersea altar at noon tomorrow. No matter how difficult or dangerous the road ahead is, it is my responsibility as the king of a country to seal it and keep the empire safe. " ]

[ " However, this is not your responsibility, Mr. Assassin. You and Tesla Zero are not from this world. I should not and cannot involve you in it. " ]

[ " If I can come back tomorrow, then ..." ]

[ " Stop talking to yourself ... give me ..." ]

[The captain bit his lip hard, using the pain to fight against the strong feeling of fainting, but even so, he had no strength to stop Kongming. ]

[ " I am not talking about myself, Mr. Assassin. It is my responsibility as the [King of a Country] to seal the strange beasts, and to protect you, this is my ... responsibility as the [Stargazer]. " ]

The girl's sincere heart was hidden in the implicit words, and this heart was conveyed to every player through the screen.

Even the most obtuse person can understand the meaning of the girl's heart in this sentence.

This also caused strong wavering among the people who had previously insisted on solely promoting the Luna Party.

[ " Wait ... Kongming, just rely on your own words ..." ]

[ " Mr. Assassin ... in the future where you are, I ... should have already turned into one of the stars in the sky, right? " ]

[ " When you return to the future that belongs to you, Mr. Assassin, if you still remember me ... If you still remember me ..." ]

[Under the sky lantern slowly floating towards the sky, the stargazer's eyes seemed to be shining with a glint of light, and the expression on her face was also full of reluctance and nostalgia. ]

[ " Mr. Assassin, please put up such a sky lantern for me ... " ]

[ " wait wait wait ...." ]

The captain stretched out his hand with all his strength, trying to catch the girl who was gradually fading in front of him, but he failed in the end.

Finally, he closed his eyes. In the darkness, he only remembered the bitter smile on the girl's face.

[Stargazing! ! ! My stargazer! ! ! ]

[Woo woo woo, this knife is so sweet ... No, it's this sweet knife ... ]

[I'm sorry, brothers, I'm going to defect from the solo push Luna. She is so good at Guanxing. It's impossible to choose one among them! ]

[I burst into tears. Stargazing's implicit confession really touched me. And when she said that she turned into stars in the sky, I really wanted to replace the captain and reply to him, "You are still with me." By my side. ]

[Although this plot is sweet and sharp, but fortunately we all know that stargazing will be fine, and we can live for more than a thousand years, so it is still good after all. ]

[Even so, it still makes people want to cry. The old thief's ability to shoot swords is really getting stronger and stronger. Even if he knows that nothing will happen to him while watching the stars, the current rendering and resonance of these emotions still make him feel sad. People are deeply touched. ]

The audience burst into tears, and countless players were moved by Stargazing's confession and farewell to the captain.

If they hadn't known that Kongming would be fine, they would have thought that Stargazer would be the next second.

But fortunately, the old thief finally became a human being and did not let the tragedy of Midsummer Phantom Night happen again.

At the same time, after this wave of plot, a large number of people who single-promoted the party immediately jumped to the double-recruitment party.

Although the remaining group of players who single-pushed for the next month are still persisting, their tone and attitude are no longer as firm as before. 

[TL/N: harem vs monogamous relationship]

" Kongming is really great ... She is different from Luna. Luna is waiting for the captain to save her, while Kongming in turn wants to protect the captain ..."

Elysia's eyes were also a little teary, and she was so moved by Stargazing's confession.

She completely forgot how she had told Su Mu before, asking him not to write the captain as a scumbag.

If the captain really wanted to refuse Stargazer now, she would definitely be the first to refuse.

" Stargazer is really a very charming character. The handling of this plot is simply too romantic, which completely highlights the charm of Stargazer. "

Kevin couldn't help but nod. He couldn't help but want to wait for Mei to come back and play this plot with her.

Even though Mei always looks very rational, he knows very well that Mei is actually a very emotional person who also likes romance. It is only because of work that she needs to remain rational.

" [Sealing alien beasts is my responsibility as the [King of a Country], and protecting you is my ... responsibility as a [Stargazer]]. This sentence is so good. I feel This should be Honkai Impact III's most romantic confession line, right? "

Elysia couldn't help but sigh,

" When I heard that, I wanted to fall in love with a stargazer ..."

".... Grass, you are worthy of it. "

Su Mu, Kevin and Kalpas suddenly twitched the corners of their mouths.

Only Elysia could say this.

" What do you know? If someone could say that to me, I would die of happiness. "

Elysia rolled her eyes at them and said angrily,

" You guys who don't understand girls' hearts ... Oh, except Su Mu. After all, he wrote this plot. "

" Speaking of which, my good Su Mu, why are you so good at writing? Did you often fall in love before? That's why you know so much about romance. "

" Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. I've never been in love before. "

Su Mu was startled and quickly shook his head in denial.

" Besides, who says that those who write good plots must have experience? Then those people who write online novels and romance novels, aren't most of them single themselves? "

" And now that the Internet is so developed, whatever information and experience you want, you can find a lot of it just by searching. "

" Well ... that's true. "

Elysia then continued the game.

After knocking down both the captain and Tesla zero, Kongming went to the undersea altar alone, and at noon the next day, she faced the alien beasts.

Just when she was in the most danger, the captain finally arrived in time to save her, and with him was Rita.

It turns out that Rita mistook the sky lanterns released by Stargazer last night as a signal, so she rushed over, and then woke up the Captain and T by the way.

In the end, with everyone's efforts, Fu Dou was finally successfully sealed.

Although this process was very dangerous, and there was almost an accident in the end, it was still successful.

After Fu Dou was sealed, the all-powerful wishing machine golem also appeared.

In an accident, Golem gave her and Rita the ability to live forever according to Kongming's wish that the Huang Empire enjoy eternal peace and prosperity.

And at the very end, the time came for Stargazer and the captain to part ways.

[ " Actually, I had already made up my mind last night to bear the outcome that should have been my own. " ]

[ " It's just that I thought I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect that after meeting today, we would have to say goodbye again in the blink of an eye ..." ]

The girl covered her lonely smile with her feather fan, which made everyone in the live broadcast room feel distressed.

But just as they were about to part, the captain suddenly remembered some kind of despair deep in his heart.

He had witnessed her walking into the boundless darkness countless times, and an impulse close to fear made him blurt out——

[ " Come to my world with me, Kongming! " ]

Only at this moment did Elysia and others finally confirm that the dark experience that the captain had been recalling was indeed not about Luna, but about Stargazer.

In other words, there should be a very important story between Captain and Kongming before he boarded the ship.

[ " Thank you, Mr. Assassin. " ]

[After akongming was surprised, she finally smiled and said, " But I'm sorry, I can't leave with you. " ]

The captain has a future that belongs to him, and she also has an empire that needs her.

After all, Kongming is still the Sage King. Her reason and responsibility do not allow her to follow the captain away like a little girl.

And even if there are millions of reluctances, the moment of parting comes quietly.

[ " Goodbye ..." ]

[ " Mr. Assassin! We ... we will definitely meet again, right? " ]

[ " Well, if it's you, one day, we will meet again in the future. " ]

[The captain glanced at Xiao Te, who had fallen into a long sleep, and said, " Stargazer, I will entrust Tesla Zero to you. " ]

[ " ... Well, don't worry, leave it to me. " ]

[ " Then, let's meet again in the distant future ... Goodbye, Stargazer. " ]

Immediately formed a strong contrast with the sentence he said at the beginning, " Meeting in the distant past . "

The captain took one last deep look at the stars, then closed his eyes.

[Consciousness mapping ... removed]

The last thing that reached the captain's ears was the girl's whisper.

[ " Goodbye, Mr. Assassin. " ]

" Su Mu, did you do this on purpose? "

At the end, Elysia's eyes were wet. She wiped her tears with a tissue and asked Su Mu in a tearful tone,

" It's not enough to ask Luna to wait for the captain, now you have to ask Kongming to wait for the captain, right? Do you like torturing them so much? "

" No, then didn't Stargazer board the ship? Isn't this a perfect happy ending? "

Su Mu spread his hands and said righteously.

" Even so, the stargazer has been waiting for the captain for more than a thousand years! That's more than a thousand years! "

Elysia shouted angrily.

Although they still don't know how long Luna has been waiting for the captain, Kongming won't be able to escape for at least a thousand years.

Especially after watching Honkai Kingdom Zero , now when I think about the plots of Strange Drift and Honkai Kingdom, I suddenly have a whole new feeling.

Especially Stargazer.

She waited for the captain for more than a thousand years before she finally got him to come over.

But it is a pity that the captain at that time was not the future captain, and he did not know Stargazer yet.

And because the captain is a reflection of consciousness, Stargazer doesn't know what the captain really looks like.

But even so, she jumped into the teleportation array regardless of the danger and observed the captain in another world for three years!

Only then did she finally confirm that the captain was the assassin she had been waiting for.

After thinking about these things, everyone's favorability towards Stargazer instantly exploded.

Honkai Kokuki, Bizarre Drift, and Honkai Kokuki Zero , these three event plots have shaped Stargazer, and finally exploded at this time, making everyone fall in love with Kongming without any surprise!
