The captain started the third reincarnation and this time he came to the time when he was on a date with StarGazer.
Because of his last experience, he knew that explosives were placed in the Pavilion, he convinces Kongming to go make the bamboo threads while he buys the rest of the material.
The explosion occurred in the city, and it was safest for her to stay in the bamboo forest.
" No, Captain! Don't be separated from Stargazer! "
Seeing that the captain asked Guanxing (Kongming) to go to the bamboo forest outside the city alone, Elysia suddenly became anxious.
Although she knew that the captain was right, there were explosives in the city, and the bamboo forest would be safer.
But the problem is, he shouldn't be separated from Stargazer!
According to the movie troupe, wouldn't their separation just give the masterminds behind the scenes an opportunity to attack Stargazer?
Elysia knew that she couldn't blame the captain. After all, he didn't have a God's perspective like them. He didn't know that Su Mu's purpose was to make tragedies.
When she saw the captain and Stargazer separated, Elysia knew that the captain would probably have to go back another time.
If you have no choice, just do again, but at least you have to find out the reason for this time travel and find out who is the mastermind and wants to murder Stargazer!
The captain came to Star Pavilion and told Rita about the explosives. Rita and her guards quickly found some explosives, but the quantity of these explosives was different from what the captain saw at that time. The scale of the explosion didn't match up at all.
So after thinking carefully, the captain discovered that the real explosives were hidden in the lanterns.
Then the captain and Rita followed the clues about the lanterns and found the craftsman who made the lanterns. After solving him, the captain breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was not yet sure that Stargazer was safe, so he and Rita took the guards to look for Stargazer outside the city.
On the other side, Guanxing waited outside the city for a long time for the captain to came, and then walked towards the direction of the Pavilion.
On the way, because she had been thinking about where the captain had gone, she accidentally bumped into someone.
Just when she apologized and was about to take a step to the side to avoid them, the man grabbed her arm.
[ " Got you . " ]
An eerie and deep voice rang in Guanxing's ears. Before Guanxing could react, a black dagger was inserted straight into her body.
The man seemed to have put poison on the knife, making Guanxing unable to make a sound. All the strength in her body was lost in an instant. She fell heavily to the ground, unable to call for help or move.
The man chuckled and disappeared along with the crowd.
In the process of gradually losing body temperature, a familiar figure seemed to appear in the blurred vision of stargazing.
She took in big gulps of air, and her struggle finally allowed her to take a breath.
[ "Mr ... Assassin ... " ]
[ " Go quickly ... it's dangerous here ..." ]
She used her last strength to warn that person, and the memories flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. In the end, her consciousness fell into complete darkness.
" Woooo ... Stargazer, my Stargazer ..."
Although she had already guessed that the ending would be like this, when she actually saw Guanxing's death, tears still flowed from Elysia's eyes unconsciously.
Mi's knives are like this. Many times, even if you have guessed what will happen next and are mentally prepared, you will still cry when you see it with your own eyes.
This is the emotional resonance resulting from the harmonious combination of storytelling, illustrations, background music, sound, and other elements. Nothing less is sufficient.
" Sigh ... The captain has done a great job, but no one could have imagined that there is more than one person behind the scenes ..."
Eden sighed. She couldn't imagine how the captain felt when he saw Stargazing lying on the roadside after all his efforts.
She thought it must be unbearable despair and pain.
" This craftsman who looks the same as the Gray Snake seems to have many clones like the Gray Snake ... But what does he mean by cause and effect at the end? "
Seeing the gray snake that appeared at the end saying some words about cause and effect, Aponya said with some confusion.
" I don't know, but what is certain is that the purpose of these gray snakes is to kill Guanxing. Even the poisonous wine that Guanxing drank when she died for the first time was put in by them. "
Eden said solemnly.
" Ugh ... where did these guys come from? Why do they have to kill Guanxing (Kongming)? "
Elysia clenched her fists angrily. She couldn't stop crying when she thought that Guanxing (Kongming) was still concerned about the captain's safety before she died.
" Bad Su Mu, how many times do you want Stargazer to die! "
"... actually not many times. "
Su Mu coughed twice and averted his eyes with some guilt.
[Ouch ... Ouch, you don't take yourself seriously at all! Did Stargazer provoke you? She needed to be stabbed like this by you? ]
[I found that the old thief still restrained himself in the main plot. If the sword skills in the event plot were followed in the main plot ... I might not even be able to survive. ]
[Let's start a bet and guess how many times Stargazer will die. ]
[Grass! Are you still a person? ]
The audience also criticized Su Mu one after another.
" Come again! I don't believe it anymore, how many more times can you stab me! "
Elysia shed tears, glared at Su Mu angrily, and then continued the game.
She definitely wants to see the ending where the captain saves Kongming!
Even if there are many knives in the process, she is not afraid!
[ " Are you satisfied with this? " ]
satisfy? What a joke! !
The captain once again returned to the time when he was dating Guanxing. Seeing Guanxing say those familiar words to him again, the captain felt a little sour for no reason.
He clearly remembered that when he found Gazing Star, she was lying in a pool of blood. She couldn't hear his voice and just urged him to leave over and over again ...
The captain's mood has collapsed. He doesn't know where he should do now to save Guanxing.
But fortunately, Guanxing saw that he was feeling wrong and chose to believe him when he said that he had experienced previous times.
So this time he did not separate from Guanxing, but acted together. However, after dealing with the explosion and the craftsmen, when Guanxing entered the carriage to change blood-stained clothes, the horse was startled by the sudden explosion from the city.
When the captain and Rita finally caught up to the outside of the city, in the bamboo forest illuminated by the fireworks, they finally saw the scene they least expected to see.
Stargazing just leaned on the edge of the stone quietly, looking up at a corner of the sky quietly.
She was cold all over, and there was no light in her pupils.
[ " Impossible ... This is impossible! " ]
Endless darkness engulfed the captain, and he didn't know what he should do next, or what he could change.
But he can't stop yet ... Tesal Zero...
The captain mechanically started the reincarnation again.
Soon, a scene that made everyone feel desperate took place.
No matter how many times the captain reincarnates, Stargazing will always die in various ways.
In the previous world, I don't know if MiHoYo cut corners or didn't want to hurt players too harshly. All the content in this section was silhouette illustrations, which didn't allow players to intuitively feel how awful this experience was.
So Su Mu added a little bit of content here, increasing the number of silhouettes from just a few to dozens of original paintings.
They all look like Stargazers who died in various ways.
Initially, the plan was to design one hundred distinct death scenarios for the stargazer, which involved creating a hundred illustrations.
However, Timido collapsed midway through the painting process. Overwhelmed, she turned to Bronya in tears, confessing her inability to continue. Subsequently, under Bronya's authority, Su Mu was compelled to abandon his innovative concept.
But judging from the current reactions of Elysia and the others, it seems that the effect is not bad.
They all seemed to be dumbfounded, just staring blankly at the constantly switching illustrations on the game screen and the captain's helpless and desperate monologue.
I have to say that the writing in this paragraph is definitely the pinnacle of the plot.
It fully embodies the captain's sense of despair as he reincarnates again and again, but is still unable to save Guanxing (Kongming).
[I don't know where the ending of this story will go ... or does this story have no ending at all? ]
[If there were bystanders, how would they evaluate what I have done so far? ]
[ " Why can't you save everyone! " ]
[Only now do I realize that even if you say I am the Mr. Assassin who ' can definitely do it ' , at this moment I am just an ordinary captain ... ]
[The Mr. Assassin you call me is not me ... Stargazer. ]
Under such depressing despair, no one spoke, and even the barrage in the live broadcast room disappeared.
Elysia had no expression at all, her lips were trembling slightly, her eyes were dull and empty, and only tears were flowing out.
Even Eden and Aponia, who had always been calm, had red eyes at this time.
In front of Su Mu's carefully prepared sword, no matter how calm a person is, it is impossible to withstand it.
Because this time we are not just watching Stargazer's story, but also Captain's pain.
It's true that Stargazer died over and over again, but compared to Stargazer, the captain who persisted in travelling again and again was more desperate and painful.
Because Kongming's death was only once, but the captain's inner torment continued to grow.
No one knows how many times the captain has been reincarnated, but they know that there are at least hundreds or thousands of times. Through all of these, the captain has witnessed Guanxing's demise repeatedly. Despite the relentless blows and torment, he was still looking for a way to save Stargazer.
" Stargazer ... Captain ..."
Finally, after being hit again and again, Elysia spoke.
To be honest, if she hadn't spoken yet, Su Mu would have been worried that she might have been in shock.
Elysia said with tears in her eyes and choked with sobs,
" Captain ... you have done a great job ... you are Stargazer's Mr. Assassin ..."
" Uh ... Elysia, are you okay? Do you want some water? "
Seeing Elysia whose eyes were almost swollen from crying, Su Mu suddenly felt that he had gone too far, and wanted to care about Elysia.
After all, She have been crying for so long, and her tears are almost dry. She must need to replenish water before she can continue crying.
".... Su Mu ...."
Elysia bit her lip and looked at Su Mu inexplicably.
"... Are you really still human? "
" ah? "
" Is this a story that a human being can write? "
" Well ....."
Elysia suddenly felt that her previous self was really ridiculous.
What "Not crying, seeing few deaths" ...
She underestimated Su Mu's lower limit as a human being.
This person simply has no lower limit!
" Su Mu ... grit your teeth! "
Elysia rushed directly towards Su Mu!
Of course, Elysia did not give Su Mu a friendly punch in the end. She just used her small fist to hammer Su Mu for a while. It was better to say that she was giving Su Mu a massage than a beating.
There was no way, our Ellie was still too gentle after all, and she couldn't be cruel enough to attack Su Mu.
[Ah ah ah! ! ! My stargazer, my captain! Old thief Su Mu, you have no heart! ! ! ]
[Brothers, I am really stupid. Although I have expected that the captain will be reincarnated many times, I never expected that there will be so many times! ]
[My family members shed tears. The captain is so miserable. He can only watch Guanxing die in front of him every time. This is even worse than when he saved Luna! Old thief, you tortured the captain to death! ]
[The captain is a real man! If it were me, I would have given up long ago, but even if he kept failing, he never thought of giving up. ]
[Sister Ellie, please work hard! Give him a good beating! ]
Because of Elysia's actions, the audience in the live broadcast room gradually recovered from being stunned by the knife.
Before this, they never thought that the plot of this event would actually reach this point!
It has simply reached the point of being crazy!
And on the other side, the Schicksal Headquarters ...
" Come here! President Otto is dying!!! "
When Amber walked into the office, she saw Otto lying on a chair, foaming at the mouth and shaking.
On the computer screen in front of him, scenes of tragic deaths while stargazing were playing.
Because GaoXing looks the same as Theresa, in Otto's eyes, GaoXing has long been regarded as his granddaughter.
As a result, now seeing the scene of Stargazers dying tragically, he almost had a heart attack on the spot!
When Amber called someone to give Otto emergency treatment, he was still tremblingly pointing at the computer screen and saying,
" Help me up ... I ... I can still play ..."
On the other side of St. Freya Academy, the same scene was happening, except that the protagonist was changed from Otto to Kallen.
Su Mu directly scored a double kill in this wave.
