Chapter 212: Duke Inferno: Children, this isn't funny at all.
The Reverie Hotel, VIP Area.
This area had been specifically rented out by the company to stream and watch content related to Honkai: Star Rail.
Aventurine and Topaz were watching the scene before them with expressions of astonishment.
Acheron was tossing Black Swan around.
Feathers and blood were scattered behind her…
Beside Topaz.
Numby was so scared that it hid behind Topaz, peeking out with its little head to watch cautiously.
It was as if it feared the woman in the video would jump out and snatch it away.
Topaz "tsk"ed.
She felt a sense of sorrow for this Memokeeper.
"It seems this Miss Acheron is even stronger than we imagined…"
"To think that even a Memokeeper like Black Swan could be ravaged like this in her own familiar territory…"
"Oh, right, the culprit behind the Duke Inferno case is also her."
"Incredible. She completely possesses the ability to flip the table."
Aventurine nodded in deep agreement.
"Good thing we conducted a risk assessment beforehand and didn't enter the dream immediately."
"If those Bloodhounds of the Family push her too far, I'm afraid if this Miss Acheron goes mad, she might just destroy Penacony."
Aventurine said.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He was contemplating.
Although Acheron's strength was terrifying.
If utilized rationally, couldn't she serve as a sharp blade?
"So, is she an Emanator?"
Topaz stroked her chin, as if asking herself.
"Isn't that obvious? With this kind of strength, what else could she be if not an Emanator!"
The two tacitly chose not to continue.
It could now be confirmed that Acheron was an Emanator.
But which Path she was an Emanator of, remained unknown.
However, in the hearts of Topaz and Aventurine.
They had already ruled out one option.
At the very least.
She shouldn't be an Emanator of the Hunt!
Although this sharp edge and slaughter had a hint of the Hunt about them.
But an Emanator of the Hunt would lean towards the Xianzhou side.
How could a Galaxy Ranger-level Emanator suddenly appear in the universe?
Besides.
Her identity as a Ranger wasn't even real.
Combined with that dream before arriving at Penacony.
Aventurine already had a guess in his heart.
"A little more…"
"As long as more plot about Acheron is released…"
"I'll be able to guess her true identity."
......
The Garden in Aurum Alley.
There was still a remnant of ice cream on Sparkle's lips.
But at this moment, Sparkle.
Had no time to care about that.
Her lips were already curled up almost to her ears.
She couldn't suppress it at all!
In the second half of this video, the tone suddenly changed!
The mysterious Ranger seemed like a completely different person!
She caught Black Swan and gave her a brutal beating!
Even her feathers were plucked clean!
"Hahahaha…"
"Great! This is exactly what I wanted to see!"
"This is just too much fun!"
"That's what you get for not dancing with me, serves you right!"
Today.
For the Masked Fools.
It was practically like a holiday!
Even the remaining ice cream cone in her hand tasted delicious!
Sparkle gave it a fierce thumbs up!
Since playing this Honkai: Star Rail.
The fun she saw every day was more than what she had seen in the past year!
She absolutely loved this game!
She loved the developer, Feather Spirit, to death!
And the fun before her eyes didn't end there.
The good show had only just begun.
......
Hotel Lobby.
Watching the scene of Acheron "abusing" Black Swan.
Everyone was stunned!
Players heading to Penacony.
Hotel staff.
The Family's security and management.
For a moment, everyone stood there as if turned to stone.
Previously, Black Swan's aura had already been very high in the hearts of all players!
At the beginning of this dance.
Just as all players had expected.
Black Swan had taken the dominant position.
Everything was beyond doubt.
Until these short dozen seconds.
A world-shaking change occurred.
Everyone could no longer squeeze out a smile.
They hadn't expected this at all!
This Miss Acheron's aura was far above Black Swan's!
This was just too shocking!
Especially the members of the Family.
Seeing this scene.
They felt a chill from head to toe.
"This, this is pointless to try and catch her!"
"Is she really that fierce…"
"She's simply a devil…"
"This is just too…"
"The hunter often appears in the form of the prey!"
"Quickly warn the brothers doing room checks, tell them to come back immediately!"
"If we provoke this female devil, she might just slaughter us all!"
At this moment, the hurried violin music ended.
Just when everyone thought Black Swan was about to die like this.
The scene returned to the hotel stage.
Black Swan was being supported by the waist by Acheron's hand.
She was already drenched in sweat!
Breathing rapidly, pupils dilated.
To make a Memokeeper who specialized in collecting memories lose composure like this, one could imagine how terrifying the experience just now was!
And at this moment, Acheron.
A hint of dazed light appeared in her dull eyes.
[ Who are… ]
[ The Annihilation Gang…? ]
This sentence.
Combined with Acheron's innocent expression.
Left everyone present stunned!
?????
???
For a moment, a giant question mark seemed to appear on everyone's face!
"Huh?"
"No, you…"
"That's too much, that's just too much!"
"Killing them is one thing, but to kill their spirit too!"
"Duke Inferno is wronged…"
People present couldn't help but sigh.
Even if they had to pretend, they had to put on a show.
After all, this was a public occasion.
Whoever laughed first.
Would definitely become the target of public criticism.
However.
Compared to the offline players.
The online players watching this video didn't have such concerns.
They immediately started sending real-time barrages!
…
"[ Duke Inferno: … ]"
"Acheron is really too much! My Duke was so majestic in the last version, declaring war on all major Paths! And you not only killed him and snatched the invitation, but you even forgot his name! Who can I reason with for this!"
"The greatest injustice of this Amber Era—The Eternal Flame Mansion 'Jail-Duke' case."
"The Jail-Duke really wasn't loyal enough, dying quietly without even saying a word."
"I was still feeling lingering fear, but damn, after looking at the barrage, I just started laughing…"
"Kids, this isn't funny."
"In that consciousness scene, Duke Inferno was really chopped into pieces… Acheron, look at the good deed you've done!"
"To add another set of relics to Honkai, she really put in a lot of effort!"
"Sigh, now my Jail-Duke has completely become a clown…"
"But Jail-Duke, this is really funny."
…
The video reached its conclusion.
The art style became gloomy once again.
The person at the end of the street.
Was Acheron.
Her shadow was stretched long on the ground, like a tall tombstone.
And Black Swan's narration sounded: [ My gaze has lingered on her for quite a while, ]
[ And tonight is our final engagement. ]
Black Swan's tone at this moment.
Changed from the confidence and pleasure at the beginning to solemnity and unease.
There was even a faint tremor in her voice.
[ Galaxy Ranger…? ]
[ No! ]
[ I made a grave mistake. ]
[ Everyone has a past. ]
[ But some, their past is a silent abyss, ]
[ Filled with those corpses of the drowned. ]
After Black Swan finished speaking.
At the end of the street.
It was already shrouded in blood-red light.
Looking exceptionally glaring!
And in the sky.
Corpse after corpse was hanging from red threads, falling down.
…
"My god! Were all these people killed by Acheron?"
"Scared to death…"
"This is just too explosive, it really is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
"What exactly did Acheron experience in her past…"
"I still prefer Black Swan's unyielding appearance at the beginning of the video."
"Is it too late for me to escape from Penacony now? Is this sister here to kill people and set up a banner in Penacony?"
"It shouldn't be that bad, right? She shouldn't go on a killing spree without anyone provoking her, right?"
"Don't worry, the Family has already sent out Bloodhounds to capture this stowaway."
"Damn it! I was only a little worried, but now that you say that, I need to run away immediately!"
"Unless the Family can invite Xipe here, I can't stay in this Penacony for even a second!"
"Feel bad for little Guinaifen, she has to stay in the hotel for at least another week."
......
In the hotel's livestream room.
Guinaifen had a face of tearful helplessness.
"Family, I'm afraid little Guinaifen is going to become cannon fodder and end up here this time."
"Just now I specifically opened the door to take a look."
"Several Bloodhound squads are still wandering around in the hallway!"
"Aiyo~ I beg you all, please don't provoke her!"
"I even have a feeling now that this hotel might explode at any moment, and I, little Guinaifen, will be blown straight to the sky…"
"Right, the plot!"
"I must hurry up and go through the plot to see what happens next!"
"Even if I die, let me die with a clear conscience, wuwuwuwu…"
