"This... Wende... and Mr. Yang... and who are these people?"
The trio that had just caught up to Wendy stared at the large group before them, falling into a state of bewilderment. Putting aside Wende, who was hugging Wendy, why were there suddenly two Mr. Yangs? And... those three... were they characters from Honkai: Star Rail? Could they be Wende's colleagues? And the two ladies beside Mr. Yang...
"Ya? Isn't this Bronya? Shouldn't you be in Belobog? Why are you here? And those two are... Mei and Kiana?"
March looked at Bronya within the trio, scratching her head in confusion. Then, she looked at Mei and Kiana beside her, her eyes lighting up instantly.
"Uh... this is bad. Bronya doesn't know what to say for a moment. Bronya feels her brain is very chaotic..."
Bronya rubbed her forehead, looking as if her brain lacked sufficient computing power. She recognized the two beside Mr. Yang—weren't they the two doctors from Anti-Entropy? Why were they here too? And these people... aside from Wende, they were exactly the same as the characters in Honkai: Star Rail! Had she... really transmigrated to Belobog?
"Wah! Are you Little March?"
Seeing March, Kiana's eyes instantly lit up, and she walked over enthusiastically.
"Wah! Are you Kiana?"
The moment March saw Kiana, she revealed the exact same expression. The two looked like old friends at first sight.
"It seems things are starting to get a bit big."
Welt looked on with eyes full of helplessness at Kiana, who felt completely compatible with March... The Kiana of now... really made one feel nostalgic.
"Indeed... I can already imagine what will happen next."
Joachim nodded in agreement. Since these three now knew... then next...
---o---
Earth, Far East Region, St. Freya Academy, inside Wendy and Wende's Dorm Apartment.
A room full of people sat in rows. Because there were simply too many people, Wende had carried a few sofas over from elsewhere just so everyone had a place to sit.
"So... this... never mind..."
The Himeko of the Honkai world wanted to speak, but feeling the gazes directed at her, she stopped and rubbed the space between her brows... She felt her brain wasn't quite enough to handle this right now...
"This... what exactly is going on! Can someone explain the situation to me? My brain is about to stop turning!"
Theresa, who had just been called over, already had swirls spinning in her eyes. As the Principal, her wisdom surpassed ordinary people, but encountering this kind of mess—who could possibly sort this out! It was too chaotic!
"Uh..."
Welt was still organizing his language. He was afraid that if he accidentally said too much, he would make this already brain-burning situation even harder to understand.
Thus, the scene fell into silence again.
If they hadn't run into Wendy and the others, they might have been able to clarify some things in Joachim's dorm. But... once St. Freya's Theresa and Himeko found out, the originally complex matter became so complicated it was impossible to explain clearly!
Amidst their deep contemplation, everyone present coincidentally thought of one person. Collectively, they turned their gaze to Wende, who was sitting to the side, still feeding fruit to Wendy...
"Ah... I-I'd better stop eating for now..."
Feeling the gaze of the entire group, Wendy quickly waved her hand at Wende. This... was so shameful! And so...
Seeing this, Wende could only smile bitterly and put down the fruit. It seemed the task of explaining was going to fall on his head! Could this be considered shooting oneself in the foot?
"Hahahaha! So how are you going to explain this now? Are you going to use your lies to continue the cover-up?"
Dragon's light screen appeared before Wende's eyes once more, mocking him.
"No... the appearance of one lie inevitably requires countless more to sustain it. So I plan to state the truth directly to them. Coincidentally, most of the core figures are here, so what is there that I cannot say?"
Wende replied helplessly in his mind.
"I have no right to interfere with your choices, but isn't it a bit too early?"
Dragon's words suddenly became hesitant.
"Do you have any better methods?"
Wende asked back.
"No. I can only say you've narrowed your path."
Dragon expressed its helplessness.
"Are you sure I narrowed the path? And not this System fellow messing around and narrowing it for me?"
Wende retorted expressionlessly. If it hadn't orchestrated the open beta of Star Rail in the Honkai world, and the open beta of Honkai 3rd in the Star Rail world, and even made him participate in a Star Rail livestream, and then directly sent him to the Honkai world for a forty-plus day vacation... would he be in this state?
"So... total disclosure?"
"There's no other way. Besides, it's relatively safer here. At least you and I won't be discovered by other Aeons in the primary universe. Honesty seems to be the best choice."
Of course, there were some things he still couldn't touch upon, such as the System... or himself, or the Dragon on him.
Actually, he hadn't expected that every seemingly insignificant abnormal event, when piled together, would create such massive trouble for him...
"So, Mr. Wende, are you able to answer our doubts?"
Einstein spoke directly to Wende.
Among the large group of people in the room, Wende was the most mysterious, and also the one who had the most contact with both sides.
To the Astral Express, Wende was a meticulous and good partner, a responsible logistics officer, and Dr. Wende who could bring back the dead.
To the Honkai world, Wende was more like a mysterious person. He claimed to be Wendy's rehabilitation therapist and hadn't done anything earth-shattering within the Honkai world. But don't forget, that mysterious company had him release a preview video...
This meant that he definitely had some connection to the game Star Rail, and even to the Honkai Impact 3rd game inside Star Rail!
Einstein keenly connected all the clues. Her gaze toward Wende couldn't help but carry a hint of... gravity.
"Since Dr. Einstein has invited me so, I will explain the sequence of events."
Under everyone's gaze, Wende... gently snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The scenery around everyone began to change and overlap rapidly. The original dorm apartment vanished instantly. Before everyone's shocked eyes, Wende walked to the center of the group and waved his hand gently.
The surrounding scenery froze with his wave... This was... the universe!?
