Ai-chan's long-awaited video update once again sent Honkai Impact 3rd fans into a frenzy.
After all, if the previous teaser was true, then it meant that that universally hated dog man Otto was finally about to enter the countdown to death.
The mere thought of Otto dying sent netizens flooding into the latest video to celebrate in real-time.
And as the self-proclaimed No.1 Van's wife fan on Bilibili, Guinaifen naturally wouldn't miss this public execution of Otto.
"Everyone, this moment is finally coming!"
Facing the camera, Guinaifen shouted with joy, "Let Guinaifen witness this thrilling moment together with all of you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Guinaifen clicked on the video.
However, the video didn't begin with the main cast from Kiana's side, nor with the villain Otto's side.
Instead, it began from the perspective of an unfamiliar girl.
Seeing this, the barrage of comments in the livestream instantly exploded.
Because, not far ahead of the girl, a blond man wearing a white robe was lying on the ground.
[Holy crap! What an explosive opening!]
[That guy must be Otto, right? Dead from the start?]
[Could it be that miHoYo is using reverse chronology this time?]
[I feel like Otto wouldn't die so easily.]
[Who cares if it's easy or not, pop the champagne first!]
But unlike the barrage cheering and popping champagne, Guinaifen's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.
Of course, her complicated feelings weren't because of Otto.
In her eyes, if it weren't for Otto, her husband Van wouldn't have suffered so much.
So she couldn't wait for Otto to just hurry up and die!
What really made her feelings complicated, was that she suddenly found the voice of the monologuing girl extremely familiar.
As if...
Thinking this, Guinaifen instinctively turned to look at Li Sushang beside her.
At the same time, Li Sushang also seemed to realize something, and looked back at Guinaifen.
"Guinaifen, why do I feel... this voice sounds kind of familiar?"
Li Sushang's words also made the netizens in the livestream suddenly come to a realization.
The voice of the girl in the video and Li Sushang's voice, if not completely unrelated, could only be described as identical.
The comment barrage started flooding wildly.
[Sushang, please stop pretending. I can see Guinaifen's molars from here.]
[LOL, Guinaifen thought they'd be lazy couch-potato sisters forever, turns out Sushang ran off to act!]
[Guinaifen: Sushang is a big star now! She left us all behind!]
[Sushang: Guinaifen, watch your tone!]
Even with things at this point, Guinaifen still clung to a sliver of hope. Because she knew her bestie way too well.
If that pillow-faced Li Sushang had really appeared in a Honkai Impact 3rd video behind her back, then her tail would've already been wagging sky-high.
How could she possibly stay calm like this?
Besides, let's be real, with how abstract Li Sushang looked, what right did she have to get picked by Honkai 3rd's devs?
'If they were going to pick anyone, it should've been the talented and virtuous Guinaifen, me!'
But the next second, Guinaifen's expression froze on her face.
When Li Sushang officially appeared in the video, the livestream chat once again erupted.
Looking at the waves of praise for Li Sushang flooding the screen, Guinaifen couldn't possibly not be envious.
But she held back her lemony bitterness and stubbornly said, "A mere appearance, nothing special!"
However, when Otto revealed that Li Sushang's identity was actually the disciple-grandchild of Van and Fu Hua, and the third S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal.
Guinaifen finally couldn't hold back her emotions.
Bang!
With a loud slap to the table, Guinaifen stood up and shouted at Li Sushang, "You, Li Pillowhead! How dare you go behind my back and do something like this!"
Facing her bestie's questioning, Li Sushang looked totally confused.
Because she really wanted to tell Guinaifen, she honestly never secretly went to shoot Honkai Impact 3rd.
But seeing Guinaifen's righteous fury, Li Sushang also got mad and snapped back, "You, Guinaifen! You just can't stand seeing me do well, huh! Whether I lied to you or not, what matters is that you made a promise before!"
"What promise?" Guinaifen blinked, totally lost.
Before Li Sushang could even speak, the ever-helpful comment section was already 'enthusiastically' reminding her.
[Don't pretend you forgot! You once said if Sushang ever appeared in Honkai 3rd, you'd smash a stone on your chest!]
[And it'd be Sushang on top, you on the bottom, remember?]
[Hehehe~ Sushang on top, Guinaifen on the bottom, and I'm in the middle!]
[Bruh. You really had to make that weird, didn't you?]
[All jokes aside, Li Sushang in the story looks super traditional and elegant, really gives off that "Shenzhou hero" vibe.]
[Agreed. Honestly, even among Shenzhou characters, Li Sushang seems better than her 'flat board' master ancestor in some ways.]
[Hey, hey, what are you implying?]
[Fu Hua: Eat my one-inch punch, skull fracture!]

[In the Video]
While the livestream was filled with joy and laughter, the video's story continued.
Through Otto and Li Sushang's conversation,
Otto's hidden plan and the purpose behind it were gradually revealed.
And when it was revealed that everything Otto had done was to resurrect the saint in his heart, Kallen Kaslana.
———
The first reaction from viewers in the real world was to question whether Otto was just acting again.
[Always question first, I don't believe a word of it.]
[Are you kidding? Otto, that cold-blooded schemer, being a devoted man?]
[LOL, if anyone really believes Otto, I'll laugh at them for the rest of their life.]
[Clearly, Otto is trying to whitewash his crimes to trick the naive Li Sushang into helping him.]
When Guinaifen saw that scene, she immediately pounded her chest and declared to the comment section, "Everyone, don't be fooled by this dog man Otto! His real goal is definitely not as simple as saving Kallen!"
"This whole 'save Kallen' thing is obviously a smoke bomb he threw out on purpose!"
Most of the comment section agreed with her instantly.
But some also expressed doubt, saying Otto's behavior this time seemed a little off.
[Knowing the Honkai 3rd writers, there might be a plot twist coming.]
[Could be. What if Otto really is wholeheartedly trying to save Kallen?]
[Guinaifen, don't jump to conclusions too early. Who knows, maybe when Otto dies for Kallen later, you'll cry for him.]
After seeing that comment claiming she would cry for Otto, Guinaifen was so mad she laughed.
"Everyone, stop joking! How could I possibly cry for Otto?"
Saying this, Guinaifen raised her right hand and swore to the heavens, "I, Guinaifen, swear right here, if one day I shed a single tear for Otto, then let me and my Van never see each other again for eternity!"
