Chapter 414: Honkai: Star Rail All-Stars? The Gap Between Fiction and Reality
Standing in front of Xueyi and Hanya was Jiaoqiu.
His face was filled with emotion, looking as if he had experienced immense ups and downs in a single day, or had grown accustomed to witnessing the destruction of stars in the cosmos.
"Indeed."
"In the storyline, I was captured."
"But because of Honkai: Star Rail, I discovered that man, Mok Tok, ahead of time."
"After he and Hoolay broke out of prison, I followed them all the way here."
A look of realization flashed across Xueyi and Hanya's faces.
"In other words…"
"Hoolay did indeed escape to this place."
"Yes." Jiaoqiu nodded.
At this point, he hesitated, his expression turning somewhat subtle.
"What happened next is beyond my ability to describe in words. You two should watch this recording yourselves."
Jiaoqiu turned on his Jade Abacus screen.
Initially, upon seeing Hoolay's figure, the two sisters instantly tensed up!
Right here!
Just ahead!
Yes!
Everything lined up perfectly.
However, when Acheron, Kafka, and Sam appeared, the two of them were completely dumbfounded!
What kind of combination was this?
A Star Rail All-Stars lineup?
Hoolay, who had originally felt incredibly oppressive, instantly gave off the vibe of a mere kobold in front of these three!
Yet, Hoolay's next words were shocking!
He actually declared he would kill Acheron and the others!
The moment those words were spoken, even through the screen, the Xueyi sisters felt a wave of astonishment!
Those words—looking across the entire universe, no one else would dare say them!
Hoolay was truly a fierce man!
Terrifyingly so!
Then, they quickly witnessed a sight too painful to look at.
First, he was toyed with by Kafka in the palm of her hand.
Then, he was thrashed like a toy by Sam.
Finally, he was sealed by Acheron.
He achieved a grand slam of defeats.
This really couldn't be blamed on Hoolay.
Each member of the Stellaron Hunters possessed the ability to destroy a planet on their own.
Not to mention there was also the unfathomable Acheron.
For Hoolay to enjoy this kind of treatment… his life could be considered to have not been in vain.
After watching, Hanya and Xueyi took a deep breath, spending half a minute processing the massive amount of information and adjusting their mindsets.
After all, this scene was a bit too unexpected.
It felt like watching those fan-made secondary creation videos online.
Even fan-made ones weren't this ridiculous!
Now, everything made sense.
No wonder Hoolay didn't even leave a corpse behind!
No wonder Mok Tok committed suicide in despair!
It was only logical!
"Well… what should we do now…?" Hanya seemed to ask herself.
"We can only report it truthfully."
"Involving the Stellaron Hunters and a Self-Annihilator of [ Nihility ] is no longer within our power to control."
Hanya nodded. "That is our only option."
Just then, a gust of strong wind rushed towards them!
Before anyone could react, a dashing figure appeared before the three of them.
"So this is where you are?"
"Have you seen Hoolay?"
Feixiao had finally tracked them down to this location.
If this had been five minutes ago, Feixiao's arrival would undoubtedly have been everyone's savior.
But now, she was simply too late.
"General."
"Please watch this recording."
A few minutes later, Feixiao took a deep breath, a bright light flashing in her eyes.
"Interesting."
"Are they still there?"
"I've wanted to meet those three for a long time!"
Feixiao looked eager, rubbing her hands together as if itching for a fight.
Xueyi and Hanya exchanged a look, thinking that she truly deserved her title as the Merlin's Claw!
Even after watching this video, she remained so calm!
She even wanted to go and test her skills against those people?
Truly a heroine among women.
However, upon learning that the scene was already empty, Feixiao proposed a bold, or even somewhat crazy, resolution!
"In that case, let's post this video online."
???
Forget Xueyi and Hanya—even Jiaoqiu was dumbfounded!
Are those words coming from a General?
Shouldn't this matter be kept under the highest level of secrecy?
And then block all information and find some other excuse to cover it up?
Clearly, Feixiao could read the concerns of the three.
A eager smile appeared on her face.
"Don't be so stiff, guys."
"Think about what kind of era we live in now."
"What you and I are doing today… might have already been predicted and made into the game plot of Honkai: Star Rail?"
"Even Emanators, Self-Annihilators of IX, and Aeons are included."
"Is there anything crazier than that?"
"Just post it, don't worry about it."
"Instead of hiding it, it's better to tell the truth to the players of the entire universe."
Feixiao looked open and unconcerned, while Jiaoqiu was hesitant, looking like a shy young girl.
His throat felt dry!
Heaven knows how much of an impact posting this video would have on the Xianzhou Luofu?
All past public relations experience seemed useless now!
"Then… post it now?"
"Hmm… you reminded me."
Feixiao patted Jiaoqiu's shoulder.
"No rush."
"Let's finish watching the latest plot first."
"Let's see what eventually happens to Hoolay in Star Rail."
"Good, good." Jiaoqiu couldn't stop nodding.
The group found a nearby Jade Abacus calculation station and tuned the screen to the live broadcast of the plot.
"My Lord, we are but one step away from freedom. Once we pass through those gates, no one can stop us."
Hoolay's voice sounded. "Then this hostage is of no value. Mok Tok, kill him."
A sweating face appeared on the large screen.
[ He's leaving… think of something… just like in the past, Jiaoqiu, you helpless, useless fool… think of something… ]
In the current plot, Jiaoqiu clenched his teeth, his face filled with tension and unwillingness!
Just as Hoolay was preparing to kill Jiaoqiu, Mok Tok stepped forward.
With a sinister smile, he said, "Perhaps the envoy from the Yaoqing can make a deal with us to survive, using his identity to help us leave the Xianzhou. Am I right, Mr. Jiaoqiu?"
…
"Sweating Jiaoqiu!"
"Jiaoqiu is panicking."
"Jiaoqiu: I can't do anything!"
"Where is Jingliu? Save him quickly!"
"Without Mok Tok's words in this scene, he might really not survive!"
"This Mok Tok feels a bit strange…"
"When Hoolay was just released, Mok Tok also said Jiaoqiu still had value, otherwise he would have been eaten by Hoolay long ago."
"Could he actually be a double agent?"
"Jiaoqiu: What should I do? Mok Tok: Eh, I have an idea~"
"I always feel like Mok Tok is a good guy."
"Hahaha, do you guys not understand the situation? For the Borisin, killing a Foxian is a trivial matter, but this Foxian has greater utility value. Why not use him?"
…
Hoolay sneered. "During my absence, what miserable state have you degenerated into? To actually bargain with livestock? In my memory, the people of the Yaoqing would never make such a deal with the descendants of Father Wolf."
Jiaoqiu was still planning in his heart: [ I must… make this beast stay… whether for Feixiao or for the Yaoqing… ]
Thinking of this, he took a step forward on his own initiative.
He spoke up, "Deal. Of course I have value in staying alive…"
"My identity, my understanding of the Xianzhou, and… I know many things that the Wold Pack of the Warhead do not know."
"Lowly beast, wag your pitiful tongue to beg for your remaining life. Speak," Hoolay said coldly.
On-site, Jiaoqiu watched this plot, his heart filled with emotion.
If not for Honkai: Star Rail, perhaps at this moment, he would truly be in such a dangerous situation!
One wrong step, and he would die under the claws of the Borisin!
Look at now!
How high and mighty, how unyielding Hoolay was in the plot, and how miserable he was in reality!
Truly, it was fate!
Beside him, a trace of worry flashed in Feixiao's eyes.
However, there was even more anticipation!
She was very curious!
She wanted to see how Jiaoqiu in the plot would break through this situation under such circumstances?
And Jiaoqiu's next sentence instantly made the hearts of the four people present leap into their throats!
"The Warhead probably doesn't know that the woman who defeated you… Jingliu. She recently returned to the Luofu."
"Your chance for revenge is right before your eyes."
