Chapter 453: Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication - Fugue! An Emotional Rollercoaster Day for Yukong!
After the contents of Luocha's coffin were exposed.
The screen slowly faded to black.
On the screen.
The reflection of Guinaifen's shocked face appeared.
In this universe, anyone who had accessed the interstellar network knew...
Just how terrifying the former [ Propagation ] truly was!
During its peak.
Everything.
As long as it possessed the thought or concept of [ Propagation ], it would begin to merge with the Swarm, eventually becoming a tool for [ Propagation ]!
Products on assembly lines would become bugs, fruits, plants would become bugs, paintings would become bugs, and even written words would turn into bugs!
And now.
Luocha was actually carrying the corpse of this terrifying Aeon!
To deal with The Plagues Author!
He really isn't afraid of messing things up!
Once this plot point was released!
Next.
The entire universe would likely engage in heated discussions regarding this matter!
Even.
There would be no shortage of radicals who would put Luocha on their kill list!
Guinaifen's breathing quickened slightly.
She wondered if this plot had gone too far.
But on second thought.
If the sky fell, there were big figures to hold it up.
Although the current universe looked calm on the surface.
It was actually like a star-skiff severely exceeding its speed limit!
One slight mistake.
And the consequences would be irrecoverable!
Complete loss of control.
Guinaifen took a deep breath.
She felt her emotions stabilize.
Just then.
A voice sounded, as if it were ringing right in her ear!
It made the goosebumps on her back prickle instantly!
"Do you still remember your name?"
This woman's voice, graceful yet carrying an endless coldness...
Although no name was displayed.
But...
There was no mistake!
It was definitely RUAN MEI!
Unexpectedly!
There was a surprise at the end!
After Ruan Mei's question ended.
There were a few seconds of silence.
Then, a young girl's voice sounded.
"This humble one... is called Tingyun. I am an Amicambassador of the Sky-Faring Commission's Whistling Flame merchant guild of the Luofu Xianzhou..."
The voice carried a hint of confusion and estrangement.
Yet, it was like a bomb, instantly igniting the spirits of all the players!
...
"Holy shit!?"
"TINGYUN!!!!"
"I missed you, Prison-Yun!"
"Tingyun finally won her revival match!! [ Crying ]"
"I've waited too long for this day!"
"Damn, Ruan Mei is the real benefactor!"
"It's over! The Shattered Star Fox-Bug is about to arrive on the battlefield!"
"Trust Ruan Mei's aesthetic taste."
"Unless Feathered Spirit releases the five-star Tingyun splash art right now, how can you expect me to believe that!"
...
Luofu, Seat of Divine Foresight.
Yukong stared intently at the last sentence on the Jade Abacus screen.
In her eyes, a certain light was flickering!
No mistake!
This was definitely Tingyun's voice!
Furthermore!
Yukong could judge Tingyun's state while saying those words based on her tone!
"Confusion, anxiety, and dullness..."
"Tingyun, she must have suffered some severe trauma, she might even have amnesia..."
"But..."
"As long as she survived, as long as she survived!"
Among all the players in the universe.
Yukong was undoubtedly the most surprised!
Yukong remembered clearly.
That was the new Trailblaze mission added in version 1.3 of [ Honkai: Star Rail ].
——[ The Spirit's Rest, The Path is Long ].
The main content.
Was to handle Tingyun's funeral arrangements!
Even the farewell star-skiff had been launched.
After that mission ended.
Yukong had been heartbroken for a long time.
In her heart, she had gradually accepted the fact that Tingyun had met with disaster.
However!
Unexpectedly!
After such a long time!
At the end of this version!
She actually heard news of Tingyun again!
Heard her speak!
It was almost like she had returned from the dead!
Yukong picked up the teacup on the table.
Wanting to take a sip of tea to calm down.
But because her hand kept shaking.
She failed to bring it to her lips several times.
Instead, she splashed tea onto her chest.
The cold sensation actually helped her calm down quite a bit.
Standing up from her seat.
All the way back to her bedroom.
Yukong's face remained solemn.
As the Helm Master of the Sky-Faring Commission for many years.
She understood.
At a time like this.
One must never arbitrarily raise their expectations!
"Feathered Spirit only placed a single line of dialogue at the end."
"It's not certain when this actually happened."
"Having suffered the [ Destruction ] of a Lord Ravager, whether Tingyun... can be saved is also uncertain."
Yukong kept persuading herself.
Because she was truly afraid!
Afraid that this was just a fleeting joy!
After taking a shower in the bathroom.
This dazed state gradually receded.
Shaking her head slightly.
Some water droplets fell onto the floor.
Yukong didn't mind.
She smiled at herself in the mirror.
"At my age, and I'm still so anxious over gains and losses."
"All these years as Helm Master were for nothing."
Suddenly.
The Jade Abacus beside the sink emitted a notification sound.
[ The user you follow [Feathered Spirit] has posted a new message, come and take a look~ ]
Hearing this sound.
Yukong's heart skipped a beat!
For some reason!
She had a feeling!
The content Feathered Spirit posted this time.
Was very likely the exact content she wanted to see most!
She rushed over immediately!
Not even having time to dry herself.
She opened the Jade Abacus.
[ Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication - Sunday ]
[ The beautiful dream of Order has dissipated, yet there are still those who will not let go of their original wish.
————The fallen traveler with broken wings, where will his footsteps lead? ]
Yukong paused.
It was that man.
She saw that the number of viewers on this post was increasing at a visible rate.
It was almost in the hundreds of millions.
Normally, Yukong might have been excited.
She might have followed the trend online and posted a comment like "The world needs a seventh day of rest."
But now,
Because it wasn't what she expected.
She temporarily lacked the heart for such things.
"Sigh..."
"As expected..."
"I told myself not to expect too much."
"How could Feathered Spirit release news about Tingyun immediately after she appeared in the plot..."
"I'm so naive, really."
Yukong put down the Jade Abacus.
Her fingertip swiped randomly.
However!
It was precisely this random swipe.
That she discovered!
There wasn't just one splash art for Sunday!
Feathered Spirit had released two at once!
Just now, because she hadn't finished reading the introduction, she had prematurely assumed there was only this one extraterrestrial satellite communication.
[ Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication - The Forgotten One(Fugue) ]
[ An exquisite Foxian girl, whose appearance, name, and identity were all stolen.
Fate left her a sliver of hope, yet the brand of Destruction still seethes.
Having experienced life and death and gained rebirth, when will the Forgotten One return home? ]
In the image.
The Foxian girl was in a downward-leaning posture.
Staring blankly and entranced at the reflection in the water above.
And that reflection.
Was exactly Tingyun's previous appearance!
Seeing this scene.
Yukong felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
It's real!
It's really happening!
Just a moment ago she was saying not to expect too much...
As a result!
Feathered Spirit immediately gave her a lesson in reality!
Some things indeed cannot be arbitrarily expected.
But if it's Feathered Spirit.
If it's [ Honkai: Star Rail ]!
You can let your imagination run wild!
Yukong leaned against the wall.
Bending her waist slightly.
She really needed to calm down now!
Her mood today.
Was like piloting a damaged star-skiff through the universe!
Up and down!
Better and worse!
One moment it seemed like a safe landing.
The next it seemed like she was flying straight into a nearby star!
"Wait..."
"I need to take another shower, and then carefully examine the details in this splash art."
