After finishing her words, Fu Hua dropped one final bombshell: "Kiana is not the real Kiana."
The moment these words left her mouth,
the entire live stream chat's direction shifted dramatically in an instant.
"Kiana isn't the real Kiana? What does that mean?"
"Could it be… that Kiana was swapped at some point? The one Fu Hua captured is fake?"
"If this Kiana is fake, that would actually make sense. Think about it—this Kiana suddenly appeared underground at St. Freya Academy. Who knows, she might be an Anti-Entropy bionic robot."
"Have we misunderstood again? Fu Hua, please explain it clearly."
"Hey, hey, hey! Will we find out what it means later? Is something else about to happen?"
"You just watched the broadcast, right? Theresa is already leading people to head toward Schicksal headquarters. They're about to go to war."
"Fine, fine, fine! So it turns out everything is Anti-Entropy's conspiracy—using a fake Kiana to spark an internal war within Schicksal."
"Do you think it's possible that the Kiana we've seen from the very beginning is fake? Otherwise, how could Theresa not recognize it? And she'd still rush to save her? Theresa isn't that stupid, right?"
"Isn't she?"
"…"
Seeing that everyone's attention had been successfully diverted,
Fu Hua let out a long sigh of relief in her heart. No matter what, she had gotten through this hurdle today.
As for what came next…
Let Hessian find other actors to handle the live streams.
This psychological pressure was simply too much.
Mobius was also very satisfied with her performance and gave her a big thumbs-up.
The remaining live stream content could be left to Fu Hua to improvise on her own.
Hessian called Theresa and Himeko over.
"The live streams for the next two days will be handled by you two. The main content will focus on preparations for the operation to rescue Kiana, such as contacting Dr. Tesla from Anti-Entropy and so on…"
Himeko and Theresa nodded: "No problem."
The most dangerous live stream had already been handled by Fu Hua; the ones coming up for them would be much simpler.
Then,
he sent out the script for the next episode: "This is the script for the next episode. Take tonight to familiarize yourselves with it properly. Filming will officially begin tomorrow. This episode is extremely important, and it has a lot of action scenes, so it will take quite a bit of time."
"Got it, Director He!"
"No problem, Director He!"
"Leave it to us, Director He!"
"…"
Everyone agreed one by one.
Those who didn't want to head home yet immediately started reading the script at the company.
Those with things to do went straight home; there was no need to worry about being attacked on the way or anything like that.
Hessian quickly tidied up a bit.
He was preparing to go home and sleep while holding Elysia.
Suddenly,
Himeko grabbed his arm: "Director He… are you going to fire me?"
"Huh?"
Hessian looked completely bewildered.
Himeko continued: "Although I like drinking, and I do sneak a little during work, I really haven't ever gotten drunk. And although I like teasing you behind your back about being afraid of your wife, everyone says that. Although…"
She rattled off more than a dozen things in a row—all minor habits that weren't perfect, but nothing serious.
"But even so, Director He, are you really going to fire me?"
The commotion here also drew everyone's attention, and they all turned to look at the two of them.
Hessian asked in confusion: "I'm not firing you."
Himeko said with a aggrieved, pitiful expression: "Then why does my character die?"
"What?"
"No way?"
The entire company was filled with voices of disbelief.
The scripts everyone held only contained their own scenes or related opposing scenes; no one had the complete script.
Kiana, however, quickly flipped to the end of the script, her face instantly turning pale: "Director He… why is this?"
Hessian comforted them: "Don't overthink it. This is just the normal progression of the plot. Take Wendy, for example—although her character died, she's still very active in the live stream chat, and a new script has long been prepared for her. Besides, it doesn't explicitly say that you died."
Himeko immediately understood.
Her situation was definitely similar.
Moreover…
The script's ending indeed did not explicitly state that the character had died.
This reassured her considerably.
Feeling a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I got too worked up."
Hessian patted her shoulder and said: "It's fine. This scene is your highlight moment. You have to film it with full effort. I guarantee that after this episode airs, audiences across the country will all remember you—your fans will surge by the hundreds of millions."
"Really!" Himeko immediately cheered up: "Don't worry, Director He. I definitely won't let you down."
Only then did Hessian turn to the others: "What about you all? If you have any questions, feel free to ask now. I'll explain them slowly."
Everyone looked at the scripts in their hands.
In the end, they all shook their heads.
They had only just received the scripts and hadn't properly familiarized themselves yet.
It would be embarrassing to cause a misunderstanding like Himeko did.
Seeing everyone shake their heads,
Hessian said: "Alright then. If anything comes up, just call me in the group chat anytime. I'll head back first."
…
After leaving the company,
he had only just returned to the villa
when Elysia came up with a smiling face and hugged him: "Hubby, good work today."
Hessian also hugged her waist tightly and said: "It's not hard. As long as my wife can be happy every day, that's all that matters."
"By the way, did you watch today's episode?"
Elysia nodded: "I watched it with Eden. At the time, we even met an interesting man."
A man?
A man!
Hessian hurriedly asked: "What man?"
Elysia recalled the situation: "How should I put it… a die-hard fan of the show? He said he really loves this series, and when we talked about previous plots, he got unusually excited. Oh, right—after he learned that my husband is the director, he also said he would definitely visit you at the company."
"Visit? I didn't see anyone today." Hessian thought for a moment and asked: "What was that man's name?"
Elysia answered: "His name was… Kalpas. He said he likes the beautiful things in this world, but… toward the end, for some reason, he left with a dark expression."
"…"
"..."
Hessian's face also grew troubled.
Kalpas… left with a dark expression?
He hoped that the Kalpas of this world wasn't the type with an explosive temper.
Otherwise…
It should be fine. He was definitely overthinking it. What were the odds?
"Ahem…"
Hessian cleared his throat: "Wife, it's getting late. How about… we go rest first?"
