Chapter 531: Himeko? Acheron? This game is filled with old friends!
Little Gui was already getting into the groove.
After getting familiar with the rhythm of the attacks, controlling the protagonist, Kiana, had also become smooth and intuitive.
"Right now, we're on the deck of a spaceship, killing monsters."
"There are humanoid monsters and beast-type monsters… So this is what they call the Honkai? Doesn't look like much, honestly."
"Kiana's skills are actually pretty interesting. The moves can combo with a giant cat claw; it looks strong, and also very cute!"
After wiping out the enemies on the spaceship deck, Little Gui even felt like she hadn't had enough!
The story cutscene began.
Kiana was reporting to someone: "I'm already on the deck! Everything's going smoothly, Himeko!~"
"How many times do I have to correct you? It's not Himeko, it's Major Himeko…"
A red-haired woman appeared on the screen, wearing an expression of dissatisfaction.
Her hair was tied back in a professional style, and her golden pupils narrowed slightly.
Seeing this figure,
Little Gui froze!
The stream's chat exploded instantly!
…
"???"
"Wait a second! Who is this?"
"Holy crap, Himeko!"
"Could this world be Himeko's hometown?"
"She looks quite young, feels even younger than when she boarded the train!"
"I finally get to see Sister Himeko when she was younger! [ She's still young now though ]"
"Good grief, this is a mind-blower!"
"Are you sure? Is this the same person as the Himeko on our train?"
"Same name, same red hair, same eyes…"
…
Astral Express.
"Slow down, slow down."
"Sit down first."
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, are you okay? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
March 7th, Stelle, Dan Heng, and Himeko all looked confused.
Old Yang took several deep breaths.
Finally, he calmed down a bit.
"Sorry, I, I'm fine."
Pointing at the screen,
his finger still trembling slightly,
"This game, if I'm not mistaken, tells the story of what happened in my hometown."
"Huh?"
Everyone looked stunned.
During their Trailblazing travels,
Old Yang would occasionally get a whim and talk about things that happened in his hometown.
So, everyone had a rough idea.
Welt's hometown,
was a mysterious, dangerous, yet beautiful world.
It once faced the crisis of destruction,
but thanks to the salvation of a group of Valkyries, it became a better place.
Who would have thought,
that Feathered Spirit actually brought this world to life!
Himeko said understandingly: "Welt, you should take your time and verify things here."
"I'm going to grab some tools to clean up the floor."
Himeko was just about to leave.
When she heard a voice ring out from the screen!
"I'm already on the deck! Everything's going smoothly, Himeko!"
???
Himeko froze.
Someone called me?
Looking at the screen.
She saw a woman who looked about 70% like her.
She,
too, was called Himeko!
In her Trailblazing journeys, Himeko had indeed seen people who looked quite similar to her.
But to be this similar, even sharing the exact same name, was a first!
And!
Just now, Welt said this was his hometown.
The first Himeko that Welt ever knew was the Himeko in this game!
What kind of personality did this person who looked so much like her have, and what would her future destiny be?
Himeko's mind was in turmoil for a moment!
She couldn't care about anything else.
She stared intently at the figure!
"Looks like, it really looks just like…"
"It's exactly like me when I was young…"
"Ahem, what I mean is… exactly like me when I was even younger."
"It's just like looking at myself in another parallel world…"
…
At the same time,
somewhere on the Xianzhou.
Rain was falling in sheets.
A misty fog rose along the coastline.
Acheron didn't dislike the rain.
The sound of raindrops pattering on her umbrella always gave her a moment of peace.
But right now,
Acheron didn't have the leisure to listen quietly to the sound of the rain.
Feathered Spirit's newly released game made her somewhat concerned.
She found a dry cave.
Took out her phone.
While taking small bites of a peach, she watched the live stream.
Watching the young girl fighting those twisted monsters on the spaceship deck.
Acheron revealed a faint smile.
Someone she once knew was also this lively and confident.
At this moment, the story cutscene played.
Acheron noticed,
that this lively white-haired girl was named… Kiana.
"Kiana…?"
Distant memories suddenly surged!
There were many things she had forgotten, but this name she would never forget!
Acheron's lips moved slightly.
"The name and the appearance are so similar."
"The trajectory of this world seems very similar to Izumo…"
"Crunch…"
She took another bite of the peach.
After a brief emotional fluctuation, she quickly calmed down again.
From various details, she could tell.
This was not her hometown.
Things swallowed by Nihility, after all, could never be restored.
Just then,
in the communication between Kiana and Himeko,
a third person's communication cut in.
"Kiana, this is Mei, I have safely arrived at the target area."
As the voice appeared, a woman also appeared on the right side of the interface.
The woman had long black hair.
She was wearing crimson armor, but she still looked somewhat green and immature.
This,
isn't this herself during her youth!?
It wasn't just the appearance that was similar!
The name also matched perfectly.
What on earth is going on with this world?
At the same time,
the chat also exploded!
…
"???"
"Raiden, Keeper of Lethe, Mei!"
"Holy sh*t, is this Acheron when she was young!?"
"Ahhhhhh…"
"Acheron from this period looks so cute and dorky, and her voice is so gentle!"
"Case closed, this world is Izumo!"
"Wait a second! Wasn't it supposed to be Himeko's hometown?"
"What is going on!?"
"I know why Feathered Spirit released this game now! These are all old acquaintances!"
…
Little Gui was both surprised and confused at this moment!
She continued to progress through the story.
The two finally met.
Kiana couldn't wait to pounce on her, hugging Mei from behind.
"Mei! With Mei here, it's like having the strength of a hundred people!"
Kiana had a happy face, her eyes narrowing into little crescents.
Mei was a bit surprised,
but felt more warmth than anything.
"O-one hundred people's strength… I'm not some kind of superhero…"
"No, as long as Mei is by my side, I already feel like I've gained a hundred times the strength!"
Mei smiled gently: "That's really something only Kiana would say."
Seeing this scene,
Little Gui couldn't help but comment:
"Good grief, you two are way too close, aren't you?"
"Like a little couple!"
"Sweet, sweet, sweet! This story is way too sweet!"
