Chapter 104 The puppet gave me a knife through the screen!

Eden clicked on Chapter 25 with a complex mood.

To her surprise, and also a sense of relief, the beginning of the chapter showed the perspective of Bronya and the others.

The puppets reappeared, causing chaos in the Anti-Entropy headquarters.

At this moment, Tesla and the others were discussing countermeasures.

And they also guessed that Kiana was probably already drawn into the Dominion Theater under such circumstances, making them feel extremely tricky.

Although the individual Herrscher of Dominance were weak, they could form organizations and hide in the dark to cooperate with each other.

At the same time, Mei, who was in the World Serpent, did not stop her pursuit of the Herrscher of Dominance.

She found Jackal and obtained some key information from her.

The Herrscher of Dominance are actually very weak and cannot fully take over the powers of complete Herrschers.

For example, Mei's Thunder Herrscher power cannot be taken by the puppets.

Only Herrschers like Bronya, who have not completely mastered their Herrscher powers, can have their powers taken by the puppets.

After receiving this news, Mei planned to enter the Dominion Theater again.

Upon hearing Mei's invitation, Jackal was also a bit surprised, "Raiden Mei, maybe we will get along well~"

"Follow me."

Jackal led Mei to a huge device, which was the result of Jackal's research on the Herrscher of Dominance during this time.

"Do you see this? This is what you want, a device for reverse accessing the Herrscher of Dominance's network."

Jackal took out a core of a Thousand Herrscher puppet, "Stay back a bit... Oh, my apologies, it can't harm you."

"Raven mentioned in the report that you were pulled into the Dominion Theater after contacting that toy-like puppet, right?"

Mei nodded, "That's right, the puppet was destroyed after we left the theater."

"Hehe," Jackal smiled confidently, "The 'contact' is like a signal of some kind. In that case, as long as we slightly modify the form of contact, and then transmit the signal through the recovered core..."

"We can proactively open the door to the Dominion Theater from the outside."

Seeing this, Eden felt a bit excited.

Kiana is now in the Dominion Theater.

Soon, Mei will also enter the Dominion Theater.

And Bronya and others are also trying to actively enter the Dominion Theater.

After so long, is it finally time for the main characters to meet again?

The viewers who ship Kiana and Mei together are also very excited.

"With those three cores, can I enter the Dominion?"

Jackal: "Give me two days, I guarantee everything will be fine... 157..."

But just after Jackal said this, those puppet cores actually began to slowly disappear.

"The cores... are disappearing?"

Seeing this, Mei didn't hesitate and directly grabbed the core from Jackal's hand and started operating it.

"Hey! What are you trying to do?" Jackal's heart tightened, watching Mei's actions, she quickly understood what the other party was doing, "Are you crazy? This is the worst possible time, what if..."

Mei's expression turned serious, interrupting Jackal, "But it's also the only time, isn't it?"

"You..." Jackal was anxious, but as a researcher, how could she stop Mei's actions?

With a flash of white light, Mei's figure disappeared from the laboratory.

"Hey!"

Looking at the empty laboratory, Jackal sighed, "Ah... really, although she has a calm face, she acts so recklessly... or is it that all the Herrschers of this generation are like this?"

"Your body is a valuable experimental material, don't hurt yourself, make sure to come back intact."

Seeing this, Eden was somewhat surprised, "Is this Jackal... actually concerned about Mei?"

Elysia chuckled, "Isn't it obvious~ Although her way of caring is different from how I care about Eden... but, this should be considered tsundere, right~"

Eden smiled, "I thought she was a crazy person before."

As she said that, Eden opened the next level.

Just as Mei entered the Dominion Theater, a puppet blocked her path, angrily shouting, "Intruder! Intruder!"

"Go away! Get out quickly, you're not welcome here~"

The puppet's tone sounded oddly cute.

"You are not qualified to enter the Dominion Theater! We still need to entertain other guests, don't hinder us!"

Mei: "I'm here to hinder you, are you so anxious to drive me away because you're afraid of me?"

"Afraid?" The puppet let out a string of eerie laughter, "Who would be afraid of an ignorant little girl like you?"

"Be careful, we'll also use your Herrscher powers as toys!"

With that, the puppet summoned a group of monsters.

However, these monsters were just toys in front of Mei, easily dealt with in a few slashes.

Seeing this, the puppet complained again, "You're so annoying, you're so annoying~"

Mei ignored the puppet's complaint and instead observed the layout of the theater.

Soon, she keenly sensed that the puppet was trying to stall for time.

"Could there be other people in this theater?" Suddenly, Mei's mind flashed with Kiana's face.

"Kiana..."

Just then, the puppet's voice came again.

She resumed her tactic of attacking Mei's psyche, "Hehe, see your expression? You've noticed it, haven't you? Feeling uneasy, aren't you? Curious to know who it is?"

"But I won't tell you~ Haha..."

"Unless you leave the Herrscher powers behind!"

"That way, we can have a historic meeting with the power of her two best friends, hahaha..."

Mei: "...Kiana."

"Oh my~ I slipped up... but it doesn't matter, you're too late, it's too late!"

"She's already been pushed onto the stage, and you, you can only sit in the audience and watch..."

"It's such a pity, after all, she's the one you care about the most, or should I say, you care about her too much, caring to the point of losing yourself, hahaha..."

"But what's the use? In the end, she still fell into crisis, what did you protect after all?"

"You foolishly walked down the path laid out by others, abandoning everything, but only managed to exchange a few weeks of time for her."

"It would have been better not to go! If you hadn't left back then, maybe you could still be with her to die together! Hahaha..."

After listening to the puppet's words, Mei's heart remained unmoved.

"Hmph~ Is this your maximum malice? It's nothing more than this."

"To this day, even without me by her side, she can still stand firm; without her by my side, I can still move forward without hesitation."

"Because I know clearly what choices she would make; she also knows exactly what decisions I would make in my heart. None of this will ever change because of distance and position!"

"It's because we believe in each other that we can firmly walk our chosen paths, parting ways is just a way to change the imperfect reality in the direction we hope for in different ways."

"Our journey... will converge one day, and what I want to do is to welcome that day with the best attitude."

Seeing Mei's determined look, the puppet became a little frantic.

"What pretty words! But you didn't say these things to her at the time!"

Recalling the rooftop scene, Mei also sighed, "Indeed, we said goodbye too hastily. Looking back now, there may have been a better way to handle it at the time. But no matter what, I still would have taken that step, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand here and witness your end."

"In the end, you still know too little about Kiana, about Sirin, about everyone... and similarly, you know nothing about me."

Mei's firm words, accompanied by stirring music, instantly ignited the audience in the live stream.

"Wow... this Mei is so cool~ Kind of like a domineering female CEO? Hahaha..." Elysia burst into cheerful laughter.

At this moment, Mo Li walked over with a tray.

"What's so funny, Miss Pink Fairy?"

As he spoke, he handed two cups to Eden.

"Thank you~"

"Boss Mo is here~ I just thought of a very interesting story..."

"The story of the domineering CEO Mei and the cute Kiana~ You also find it interesting, right? Oh, right... I did say I wouldn't pay attention to you for a day~"

Mo Li smiled and placed a packet of tissues on the table, "Here~ for wiping your mouth."

Elysia looked at Mo Li with a strange expression, "After drinking... do we still need to wipe our mouths?"

Mo Li countered with a question, "Didn't you say you wouldn't pay attention to me for a day?"

Elysia giggled, "Hehe~ A girl's little temper, you just need to coax me~"

Mo Li shook his head with a smile.

Elysia is really too cute.

"Alright~ after you finish pushing the plot, I'll come to coax you~"

"Hmm? Don't you want to coax me, good Eden?"

"Let's coax her together~"

Listening to Mo Li and Elysia's conversation, Eden couldn't help but smile.

However, she looked at the tissues on the table and couldn't help but feel malicious.

They must be afraid that I'll cry and gave me these tissues to wipe my tears. Is the plot really that cutting?

In the game, the plot continued to advance.

After so many things, Mei was no longer the same Mei as before.

Before, her biggest highlight was her gentleness, but now, she's not only gentle but also a very reliable older sister.

Moreover, she doesn't have any flaws that the puppets can attack in her heart.

Therefore, the puppets were extremely angry, "Damn it, since you said you don't need her by your side, why go find her?"

Mei returned expressionlessly, "It's obvious, you're looking for her, and I'm here to hinder you."

The puppet's tone suddenly became extremely aggrieved, "You jerk, bullying weak Herrschers like us, aren't you ashamed?"

Mei: "Nope~"

Puppet: "You shamelessly admitted it?!"

Eden couldn't help but chuckle.

The bullet comments were also full of joy.

"Uh oh, I actually find this Herrscher a bit cute now..."

"The voice acting is indeed cute... although sometimes what she says makes my blood pressure soar."

"I can only say, the copywriting is really awesome."

In the game, the puppets couldn't deal with Mei at all and ultimately chose to cut off their tails to survive. They completely separated the area where Mei was from the theater.

This way, even if Mei defeated these puppets, she wouldn't be able to support Kiana. On the other hand, Fu Hua and Bronya also entered the theater.

However, they were also held back by puppets and couldn't support Kiana in time.

Finally, the scene switched to Kiana.

The plot continued from the end of Chapter 24.

The puppets used a sarcastic tone to provoke Kiana, "How about it? How about it? Looks familiar, right?"

"Yes! Murata Himeko... is already dead~"

Kiana: ""

At this point, the audience and Eden's hearts tightened once again.

The joyous atmosphere from just now disappeared in an instant.

"Hey? Are you deaf or can't understand human speech?"

"Murata Himeko is dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead! Do you hear that?"

Seeing that string of "dead", the audience became extremely angry.

This puppet is really despicable. Not only did it stab Kiana, but it can even stab them through the screen.

Bullet comments are also floating with a sentence: [Sorry, I take back what I said just now, this puppet is really despicable! Kiana, stab her!!]

Eden also frowns as she watches the plot.

"No reaction at all? Aren't you too cold-blooded?"

Kiana: "..."

Her tone sounds exceptionally calm. "Then what do you expect me to be like?"

"On my knees wailing, unable to get up? Crying over and over again, 'This isn't real'?"

"Or falling into madness, mental confusion, hurting myself desperately to fill the guilt?"

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed..."

Puppet: "This... shouldn't be..."

In the puppet's prediction, given Kiana's feelings for Himeko, she would indeed likely have a mental breakdown.

"Yes! She must be forcing herself!"

Not only the puppet thinks so, but the audience also thinks the same.

Kiana is pretending to be calm.

As long as you add fuel to the fire, Kiana's mental defense line will definitely collapse!

"Do you think this gem is a fake? Alright~ Let me show you the true power of this genuine gemstone~"

After the puppet's words, she summons a group of Herrscher Beasts with the Gem of Haste.

"Hahaha... feel it well, this is the power your beloved teacher used~"

"Do you know? When we found it, this gemstone was drifting alone in the imaginary space~"

"How strange~ Shouldn't it be embedded in the Crimson Armor? Shouldn't it be worn by her? Where did the owner who came with it go?"

The puppet sarcastically sprinkles salt on Kiana's wounds.

"Who knows... hahaha... actually, you've always known, right? That day, she died long ago! Yes! Killed by your own hands!"

"She was just an ordinary person, impossible to escape the imaginary space, unable even to sustain her own existence~"

"But you refuse to accept all of this! You're still fantasizing about someone saving her, fantasizing about impossible miracles, fantasizing that it can make up for the unforgivable sin you committed!!"

These words from the puppet not only stab Kiana deeply but also make Eden and many viewers in the live stream feel extremely uncomfortable.

As the puppet speaks, they involuntarily imagine Himeko, battered and drifting helplessly in the endless darkness.

She burned herself out, lighting up the sky for Kiana.

But... no one could lead her out of that darkness...

The only relic that could be found was this... Gem of Haste that brought her death.

Thinking of this, Eden couldn't help but feel her eyes moisten.

She tried to control her emotions while controlling the game's Kiana to attack the monsters.

At this moment, she was like Kiana in the game, killing Herrscher Beasts while enduring the pain in her heart.

Finally, under Eden's control, all the Herrscher Beasts were eliminated.

The game ended with a short clip.

The puppet, holding the Gem of Haste, was still sarcastically describing Himeko's miserable condition.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Kiana successfully killed the puppet, and the Gem of Haste fell to the ground.

Kiana slowly approached the puppet's body, picking up the Gem of Haste from the ground, and said softly, "I don't know what reaction you hoped to see, but I know..."

"What Teacher Himeko hoped for me to do!"

Kiana, holding the Gem of Haste, is both handsome and heart-wrenching.

No, the maturity and firm belief shown by Mei and Kiana in this chapter make people feel heartbroken and relieved.
