: This trial that seemed like sharp opposition, maybe it was only on the surface. I feel like these ten are far more united than I imagined!
------------------------------
Not only the comments said this.
When the audience rewatched this PV, they discovered even more interesting things.
For example, those who voted against it might not have truly intended to.
Otherwise, the vote wouldn't have just happened to end up 4 vs. 4, only for Opal to cast the final vote.
And restoring the Cornerstone-.
Although the PV used many metaphorical images, the audience could at least understand the scene where Aventurine handed over the damaged Cornerstone, and finally received the restored Cornerstone.
This means that within the Ten Stonehearts, Diamond had already given the go-ahead to repair the Cornerstone.
This thing is absolutely not something that can be fixed just because someone says so.
From the final shot, it can be inferred that the Cornerstone was most likely repaired by Opal personally.
If they really wanted to convict Aventurine, why would they have done it this way?
Other than that, there are more points worth noting.
For example, except for Opal, the votes were already paired.
And the host, Pearl, held two votes in her hand. That means, as long as both sides had at least one vote, she could guarantee a tie, leaving the decision to Opal.
When Pearl later voted for Amber and herself, she already said something like: "I think there should be more fairness in his life."
Basically writing "I'm balancing the scales" right on her face.
And after the situation reached 4 vs. 4, Opal's very first words were: "The natural outcome."
This ending, clearly was rehearsed.
All kinds of clues were already wildly hinting at one thing: this so-called trial, was just a cover-up, a formality.
...
: Those who voted against, it feels like they were just shutting others up.
: They first blocked the possible accusations that could come from other departments.
: Then ended it with a 4 vs. 4 tie, letting Opal wrap it up, and of course recall Aventurine.
: Who are they guarding against?
: The Market Development Department, maybe, or other departments. It feels like the conflict of interests with the public departments is quite serious.
: Just goes to show, these guys are far more united than expected.
: Putting on a show together for others to see, right!
: Honestly, my favorability toward the IPC, it's basically carried by this group from the Investment Division!
...
Apart from this internal content about the Ten Stonehearts, the audience was also very focused on the War of the Aeons.
Diamond must have known something, to have issued such an order to his subordinates.
Counting the Xianzhou, at least two Aeons have already clearly shown signs of participating in the war.
...
: The last War of the Aeons almost swept across the entire universe, and the final cost was the fall of the Order and Propagation.
: This time, who knows who will fire the first shot, and who will fall.
: The story is getting more and more exciting, so many setups!
: Compared to watching the grandiose simulated universe's past divine wars, I prefer the warmth of the current storyline!
: The main thing is, no one can guess who the true target of this Aeon War will be.
: Ahhhh! Mihoyo keeps using these PVs to bait us! Too evil!
...
As the discussion about the company's PV drew to a close, two other PVs were also released one after another.
They were Yunli's Myriad Celestia Trailer: Mind the Swelter, Watch the Furnace, and her PV Serendipity.
Mind the Swelter, Watch the Furnace was simple.
It was just Yunli's daily encounters while pursuing the Demon Sword in the previous episode.
But while telling the story, this PV's art style was exceptionally cute.
The characters and filters were filled with all kinds of adorable sparkling flows.
It made the 3D visuals feel almost like 2D illustrations.
So, even though it was just simple daily life, the audience still found it especially fun.
Especially in the second half of the PV, when Yunli suddenly turned into a cute little kitten.
That made many people scream nonstop.
...
: Mihoyo! I want this!
: Cat Yunli! Too cute!
: Hurry and release Yunli-cat merchandise! I want to buy it!
: Ahhhhhh! So adorable! I never thought Yunli's Myriad Celestia Trailer would be like this! Too cute!
: How did MiHoYo transform the real world into something that feels like a fairy tale!
...
The audience went crazy in the comments, staring at Cat Yunli on screen, watching her burn the Demon Sword, then later snuggle up to General Huaiyan by the fire, saying she wanted to eat berrypheasant skewers.
Too cute! So much so that many viewers were "killed by cuteness" on the spot.
After that, everyone eagerly clicked on Yunli's personal PV.
Compared to the just-seen artistic style, Yunli's PV looked much more normal, yet was still full of childish innocence.
At the center of the story was the retrieval of the Berrypheasant Skewer.
Many Xianzhou colleagues made cameo appearances.
When they saw Jing Yuan holding Berrypheasant Skewer teasing Yunli, the audience was even more convinced!
...
: What! Yunli really is a Cat!
: Hahahaha, the General is so bad! Intentionally teasing the Cat!
: lol I can't hold it in anymore!
: Jing Yuan even said "So scary~."
: Hahahaha, so human-like.
: Big cat teasing little cat, pure goodness!
...
After Jing Yuan finished teasing the cat, the camera cut to the trembling Sushang.
Her good friend Guinaifen stood by her side, hammer in hand, giving her a thumbs-up to reassure her.
But before Guinaifen could act, Yunli suddenly descended from the sky, stomping down hard on the stone slab over Sushang's body.
At that moment, the audience gasped.
Especially when they saw Sushang spit out her own soul, it shocked them even more.
...: Su-Sushang!!
: These two goofballs, hahaha!
: Guinaifen: (I swear) I'll die with you, sister!
: Neither of them is reliable at all.
: lmao I'm losing it!...
After a round of noisy antics, the PV reached its finale.
The Old Mettle in Yunli's hand soared skyward, smashing down toward the enemy who had destroyed the Berrypheasant Skewer.
Even though there was no explicit shot, the audience didn't even need to think to guess the poor guy was flattened.
After finishing all of Yunli's PVs, the audience felt unsatisfied.
PV like this, so lighthearted and fun, really are rare.
All kinds of Cat Yunli screenshots, in an instant spread across major internet platforms.
But just when the audience thought today's content had come to an end, a new story suddenly appeared in the long-silent Pom-Pom's Favorites.
It seemed… related to Boothill?
