Chapter 534 - 540: Himeko? Acheron? This Game is Full of Familiar Faces!
Little Gui was now getting into the groove.After familiarizing herself with the attack rhythm,
she became more fluent in controlling the protagonist, Kiana.
"Right now, we're on the deck of a spaceship, killing monsters."
"There are humanoid monsters and beast-like ones... Is this the so-called Honkai? Doesn't seem like much."
"Kiana's skills are quite interesting, though. Her moves can link up with giant cat claws, which look both strong and cute!"
After clearing the enemies on the spaceship deck,
Little Gui even felt a bit unsatisfied!
Entering the story,
Kiana was reporting to someone: "I'm on the deck now! Everything's going smoothly, Himeko!~"
"How many times do I have to correct you? It's not Himeko, it's Major Himeko..."
A red-haired woman appeared on the screen,
wearing a displeased expression.
Her hair was tied up neatly, and her golden eyes slightly narrowed.
Seeing this figure,
Little Gui was completely stunned!
The live chat exploded!
"???"
"Wait! Who is this?"
"Wow, Himeko!"
"Is this world Himeko's hometown?"
"She looks quite youthful, even younger than when she boarded the train!"
"I finally get to see Sister Himeko in her younger days! (She's still young now, though.)"
"Well, this is clear now!"
"Can we confirm this? Is this the same Himeko from our train?"
"Same name, same red hair, same eyes..."
...
Astral Express.
"Slow down, slow down."
"Sit down first."
"Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."
March 7th, Stelle, Dan Heng, and Himeko all looked puzzled.
Old Yang took several deep breaths.
Finally, he calmed down a bit.
"Sorry, I... I'm fine."
Pointing at the screen,
his finger still trembling slightly,
"This game, if I'm not mistaken, is about events that happened in my hometown."
"Huh?"
Everyone looked astonished.
During their Trailblaze travels,
Old Yang would occasionally share stories about his hometown.
So everyone had a rough idea.
Welt's hometown,
was a mysterious, dangerous, yet beautiful world.
It once faced the crisis of Destruction,
but was saved by a group of Valkyries, turning it into a better place.
Who would have thought,
Yu Ling actually brought this world to life!
Himeko said understandingly, "Welt, take your time to confirm it here."
"I'll go get a tool to clean up the floor."
Himeko was about to leave.
Then, a voice rang out from the screen!
"I'm on the deck now! Everything's going smoothly, Himeko!"
???
Himeko was stunned.
Someone called me?
She looked at the screen.
A woman who bore a striking resemblance to her appeared.
She,
was also named Himeko!
During the journey of Trailblazing, Himeko had indeed encountered people who bore some resemblance to her.
But never had she met someone so strikingly similar, even sharing the exact same name!
Moreover!
Welt had just mentioned that this place was his hometown.
The Himeko that Welt first knew was the Himeko in this game!
What kind of personality does this person, who is so similar to her, have? And what will her future fate be?
For a moment, Himeko's thoughts were in turmoil!
She couldn't focus on anything else.
She stared intently at this figure!
"Similar, truly similar."
"It's almost like looking at a younger version of myself..."
"Ahem, I mean... it's like looking at an even younger version of myself."
"It's as if I'm seeing myself from another parallel world..."
...
At the same time,
Somewhere on the Xianzhou.
The rain fell in a steady drizzle.
A mist rose along the coastline.
Acheron didn't dislike the rain.
The sound of raindrops pattering on her umbrella always brought her a moment of peace.
But now,
Acheron didn't have the leisure to quietly listen to the rain.
The new game released by Yu Ling had caught her attention.
Finding a dry cave,
She took out her phone.
While nibbling on a peach, she watched the live stream.
She watched as the girl fought against the twisted monsters on the spaceship's deck.
Acheron smiled faintly.
Someone she once knew was just as lively and confident.
Then, the story progressed.
Acheron noticed,
This lively white-haired girl was named... Kiana.
"Kiana...?"
Distant memories suddenly surged forth!
There were many things she had forgotten, but this name she would never forget!
Acheron's lips trembled slightly.
"The name and appearance are so similar."
"The trajectory of this world seems quite similar to that of Izumo..."
"Crunch..."
She took another bite of the peach.
After a brief emotional fluctuation, she quickly composed herself.
From the various details, it was clear.
This was not her homeland.
What had been swallowed by Nihility could never be restored.
At that moment,
In the communication between Kiana and Himeko.
Another person's communication was inserted.
"Kiana, this is Mei. I've safely arrived at the target area."
As the voice came through, a woman appeared on the right side of the interface.
She had long black hair.
She was clad in crimson armor, but still looked somewhat youthful and inexperienced.
This,
Isn't this me in my younger days!?
Not only does she look similar!
Her name matches perfectly too.
What is going on with this world?
At the same time,
The barrage of comments exploded!
...
"???"
"Raiden, the guardian of the River of Forgetfulness, Mei!"
"Damn, is this Acheron in her younger days!?"
"Ahhhhh..."
"Acheron from this period looks so adorably naive, and her voice is so gentle!"
"Case solved, this world is Izumo!"
"Wait a minute! Shouldn't it be Himeko's hometown?"
"What exactly is going on here!?"
"Now I know why Yu Ling released this game! It's all about old acquaintances!"
...
Little Gui was both amazed and puzzled!
She continued to follow the storyline.
The two finally met.
Kiana eagerly rushed forward and hugged Mei from behind.
"Mei! With Mei here, it feels like having the strength of a hundred people!"
Kiana was beaming with joy, her eyes narrowing into little crescents.
Mei was a bit surprised,
But more than that, she felt warmth.
"O-one hundred people's strength… I'm not some kind of superhero…"
"No, just having Mei by my side makes me feel like I've gained a hundred times the strength!"
Mei chuckled softly: "Only Kiana would say something like that."
Seeing this scene,
Little Gui couldn't help but comment:
"Wow, you two are so close!"
"Like a little couple!"
"So sweet! This storyline is just too sweet!"
