Chapter 11: It was all Mo Chen's fault!
Rita clicked on the video that ranked first on the B station's popularity list, titled "The Stars That Never Disappeared," and watched it silently to the end.
In the video, Rita was stunned by the many detailed descriptions of the second eruption, and it was difficult for her to tell whether this was a real film or a fictional video.
She was deeply impressed by the male Valkyrie Mo Chen, who saved Theresa and almost redeemed the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin.
The sudden appearance of the blond masked man at the end made her vaguely guess his identity.
Then, Rita froze.
She felt a huge chill for a moment and instantly realized what this film represented...
After all, as Schicksal's maid, Rita always has to think from Schicksal's perspective.
Most people who see this video might simply think it's interesting and urge for more updates, but from a Schicksal perspective, the content of this video is simply terrifying.
Rita could hardly imagine how much of an impact this video would have on the current Schicksal organization.
Rita hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether she should show this video to other people in Schicksal because she couldn't guarantee how others would react after watching the video...
However, considering the incredible popularity of this video, there is almost no doubt that it will be on the video website for ten days to half a month.
Rita finally sighed and decided to show the video to her superior, the former Bishop of Schicksal, Otto.
After all, the former Bishop Otto was the most direct participant in the second eruption in the video and could figure out whether everything in the picture was true.
So, without any hesitation, Rita immediately flew to the Dragon's Nest concert on a transport plane.
Right now, the concert of Magical Girl Teriri had just ended, and Otto, the person in charge of the venue, was still there dealing with all kinds of messy things.
"Ah, my granddaughter Theresa is indeed the cutest person in the world!" Otto said excitedly, "Grandpa will work hard throughout his life to spread your cuteness to everyone in the world!"
"…"
Rita could hear the former Bishop of Schicksal's illness from a distance. She tried her best to remain calm, walked up slowly, and said, "Lord Otto, you are still so obsessed with Lady Theresa's cuteness. I don't know what will happen if Lady Kallen hears what you just said."
"Of course, she will join me in praising Theresa's cuteness!" Otto said nonchalantly and complained helplessly: "By the way, Kallen just said she wanted to go to some festival with that damn pink fox, so she left in a hurry as soon as the concert ended... Really, what's so good about that pink fox?! Sooner or later, I will find a chance to secretly kill that stinky fox!!!"
"Okay, please stop your villain behavior, otherwise I'm afraid you will never have the chance to go out with a straight face again," Rita spoke slowly and finally got to the point: "By the way, Lord Otto, have you seen the video that is currently ranked first in the number of views on Station B?"
"The number one video on station B? Isn't that the concert recording of my Teriri?"
"No, the most viewed video today is not the concert video of Lady Theresa but a different video."
"What?!"
Otto was furious when he realized that the concert video he had spent so much effort on didn't even rank first on the charts.
He frowned and immediately took out his mobile phone and found that the video ranked first on the list was not the concert, but a video called "The Stars That Never Disappeared."
"What on earth is this? The number of hits is too much!" Otto was horrified when he saw the video's statistics. "Even if I hired a hundred times more people to watch our teriri, we still couldn't get this much!"
"Okay, please stop your self-destruction." Rita stood there calmly. "You'll know the details after you read it. I think you'll be surprised."
"Me? Shocked?" Otto clicked on the video and saw the four characters of the uploader, Void Archives, at a glance. "??? Void Archives? Didn't that guy disappear after the Honkai? How come he switched to making videos?"
All of a sudden, Otto, who was stunned, became completely curious about the content of the video.
After all, he and the Void Archives have been friends for more than 500 years. The video that could be sent by the other party must not be a simple thing.
So Otto clicked play, and the video scroller began to advance.
Otto frowned as he witnessed the second eruption on the screen.
As an eyewitness, Otto was almost certain that the contents were true.
Whether it was the Babylon laboratory, Theresa's investigation, or the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void, everything was exactly as he remembered...
Otto initially thought that this was just a documentary secretly filmed by the Void Archives, intending to expose his past evil deeds to disgust him.
Until Mo Chen appeared...
"Who is this person?!"
Looking at the screen, where a strange man was showing off in front of his granddaughter and even defeated the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, with one sword, Otto was stunned for a moment.
He had no recollection of having such a man in his past Schicksal.
You know, Siegfried alone was already giving him a headache at the time, and with the addition of a guy named Mo Chen, wouldn't he have already been dead or lying in a coffin on the moon?
But at the same time, Otto quickly noticed something strange.
He carefully thought about the entire process of the Second eruption, and suddenly found something wrong.
"Hey, Rita, Sirin is serving as a Valkyrie in our Schicksal now, right?"
Hearing Otto's sudden question, Rita was silent for a moment and then said, "Yes, although Lady Sirin almost made a big mistake during the Second Eruption and caused a large-scale massacre, fortunately, nothing happened. She still had a chance to make amends, so in the days that followed, she recovered her body, turned over a new leaf, and joined Schicksal."
"That's right, that's true... But that's where the problem arises." Otto's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, as if he had turned back into the shrewd and calculating Bishop of Schicksal of the past. "At that time, based on my behavior pattern, I would definitely allow Sirin to destroy the world. But in the end, none of this happened. Someone stopped Sirin's revenge on the world at that time..."
"Someone tried to stop it? Who?"
"I don't remember, but... maybe that was what Mo Chen did..."
"It was all Mo Chen who did it?"
Hearing Otto's words, Rita was stunned.
As she watched the scenes in the video, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of absurdity.
