As Otto's words fell, people became even more curious about what he was going to do next.
But the screenwriters of miHoYo seemed to have anticipated this.
Not only did they not continue to talk about this plotline, instead, they shifted the scene to the Far East Branch.
Such a "sneaky" operation naturally caused countless netizens to start cursing loudly.

[Back to the Video]
After a round of discussion, Theresa and the others finally decided to accept Otto's invitation and took the Hyperion to head to the old headquarters of Schicksal, Kolosten.
During the journey, Theresa took the time to chat casually with the others on the deck.
At first, the topics of the chat were quite normal.
Until the Hyperion flew over the Alps, when suddenly, memories seen in the Herrscher Core appeared in Kiana's mind.
And this memory told the story between Kiana and another long-lost person, the real Kiana.
"Back when I was nine years old, I was still completely ignorant, the only thing I remembered was that Dad rescued me from Otto's hands… I didn't even know at all that I wasn't Dad's biological daughter."
Seeing Kiana's tone was a bit down, Theresa quickly comforted her, "You now, without a doubt, are his daughter, you are Kiana Kaslana. The past… is better left in the past."
Hearing this, Kiana closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Mm… maybe that was Dad's wish too, to let me inherit that person's name, to remember the kindness she left behind in this world."

In the Real World]
Upon seeing this point, people suddenly remembered that Kiana's birth came from cloning using the real Kiana's DNA and the Herrscher of the Void's core.
In previous storylines, it had only vaguely hinted that the real Kiana fell off a cliff to save Kiana, and her whereabouts were unknown.
Could it be that now they're going to use flashbacks to explain all of this?
Perhaps because of "love me, love my house," people also had some affection for this never-before-seen real Kiana.
So, netizens hoped to learn from the dialogue between the two whether the real Kiana was safe.
However, just like how the sun always rises in the east, you can always count on miHoYo's ability to stab you with knives.
With Theresa and Kiana's dialogue, people learned that the real Kiana was most likely already dead.

"At that time, I had a face exactly like hers. Otto, in order to create a 'vessel' for the Herrscher, stole her genes and cloned me, a genetically modified person."
"But she never held any grudge against me because of all that. On the contrary, she really treated me like her own little sister…"
"She not only rescued me from those heavy shackles together with Dad, but even in order to protect me…"
At this point, Kiana paused, and her expression grew sorrowful.
And what followed, were Theresa's words that utterly crushed the fantasy netizens held in their hearts.
"Grandpa once lied to me, saying that after that incident, your sister had always been at the headquarters receiving special treatment from him. But…"
Hearing this, Kiana's expression dimmed, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I know. According to the memories in the Herrscher Core, she should have already... after that time…"
"… no longer be in this world…"
The two of them fell into silence simultaneously.
———
And this silence made the people in the real world even more furious.
[Otto, you really deserve to die!!!]
[Wuwuwu, my dear real Kiana~]
[Previously Otto lied to Theresa about the events of the Second Eruption, and now he lied about the news of real Kiana, so in conclusion, this time Otto's abdication must also be a lie to deceive Theresa!]
[Otto: "Theresa, I am about to start lying again."]

On the other side, in Guinaifen's livestream room, after seeing this, the straightforward Guinaifen naturally used her beautiful hometown dialect to curse Otto over and over again.
"Family, if we count Otto's past crimes, which one isn't something that enrages both people and gods?"
"With such an Otto, do you really think anyone in this world would shed tears for his death?"
"Just thinking about how real Kiana died when she was still so young, I just can't help but want to stab Otto a hundred times!"
With Guinaifen leading the way, the bullet chats in the livestream also started condemning Otto's deeds.
At this moment, Huohuo weakly spoke from the side, "Um… based on what I know about miHoYo… I don't think they would really let the real Kiana die."
Seeing their usually timid roommate suddenly speak up, Guinaifen and Li Sushang instantly became interested.
"Huohuo, tell us your thoughts~"
"Yeah yeah, speak up quickly!"
The sudden enthusiasm from Guinaifen and Li Sushang startled Huohuo.
But after a moment, she still explained to the two with her soft and milky voice:
"Um… look…"
"If the real Kiana really had died, then they probably wouldn't have released her information at this point in time."
"So… this means… in the upcoming plot, there might still be scenes involving the real Kiana…"
Hearing this, Guinaifen and Li Sushang both agreed that it made some sense.
"Huohuo, I didn't expect it, but your observations are quite sharp…"
"So, what do you think the scenes involving the real Kiana might be?"
"Could it be that she suddenly parachutes into the main cast and later helps fight against Otto?"
"I also think that's very possible."
However, both of them thought Huohuo's answer would align with theirs, unexpectedly, this petite girl's next words directly stunned them into silence.
"Actually… I think there's another possibility…"
"Maybe in the upcoming storyline, the real Kiana will be corrupted by the Honkai consciousness and become the new Herrscher…"
"And then… the story can logically proceed to stab the main characters, right?"
"For example… stab her aunt Theresa? Or stab her biological father Siegfried…"
On one side, Huohuo was getting more and more into it, and on the other side, Guinaifen was growing increasingly alarmed by what she was hearing.
'Wait! Is this really the Huohuo I know who didn't even dare to speak?'
'This feels even more miHoYo than miHoYo's screenwriters!'
'Could it be that after being teased by me several times, Huohuo awakened some incredible trait?'
'Or maybe, not long ago when I took her for some adventure, this girl got entangled with some evil spirit?'
