Returning to her seat, Sparkle hummed a little tune happily.
Fu Xuan, who was not far away, had no idea she had been framed. Her attention was fully focused on the big screen.
On the screen, as the picture appeared, Belobog's epilogue was about to begin.
--------------------------
The Star rail logo has not appeared yet but comments from the viewers have already filled the entire screen.
...
: Belobog's epilogue! Start!
: No, why is it only 50 minutes? You MD, can you increase the video length a little more? You look down on me.
: I haven't recovered from yesterday's history of the immortal boat, so I'll watch Belobog to calm my nerves.
: When I think that Belobog has escaped the disaster, I feel much calmer. I hope to see the story of reconstruction!
...
As the comments slide by, Belobog appears again.
However, the snow and wind that wrapped it have dissipated a bit.
Although the nearby mountains are still covered with ice and snow.
But at least, the blue sky can be seen.
As the express group return to the underworld, they bring the happy news to the people in the underworld.
At the same time, the news of the lifting of the blockade spreads rapidly throughout the streets and alleys.
The people of the underworld cheered and shed tears of joy.
That is the cry of hope.
From the perspective of the express group, the audience too saw the changes in the people in the underworld after hearing the news.
The former cable car driver is looking forward to returning to work.
And those who have stayed underground for a long time also want to return to the overworld to meet their families who have been separated for many years.
As for the children, what they most want is to see the blue sky.
And the overworld also embraces the residents of the underworld with great kindness and effort.
The meaning of the word unity returns to Belobog.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
Here, Xia Wen specially made a few special frames.
It is the reunion of the people of Belobog, a thriving scene.
The warm picture makes the audience more stable.
And then, a few days later, Bronya gave an inaugural speech in front of all the people of Belobog and ascended as the 19th Great Guardian of Belobog.
And also, thanking the express crew for their efforts.
And the tens of thousands of people who have already gathered under the podium. Some of them are from the overworld, well-dressed. Some of the underworld, wearing miners' clothes. But no matter who they are, they are all together at this moment, hooking each other's arms, forming a dense sea of people.
A warm cheer broke out.
"Bronya! Great Guardian!"
"Stelle!"
"March 7th!
"Dan Heng!"
They shouted the names of the heroes, their eyes full of hope.
...
: Great! Beloberg finally sees hope.
: Haha, I guessed it a long time ago. These fifty minutes are probably all heartwarming stories, which are most suitable for people like me who like sweet things.
: I really like the scene where everyone hugs and cheers together!
: Destruction is the beginning of construction! Although Cocolia was a bit rotten, what she said is still pertinent. It's just that this time the choice should be given to the people!
...
The barrage of comments came one after another.
Everyone felt extremely satisfied with the current situation of Belobog.
A warm and hopeful epilogue. It makes the audience feel as if these fifty minutes will pass by like this.
The picture starts to move up from Belobog, revealing the full picture of Belobog, and then continues to move up.
The outline of the planet also gradually emerges.
It seems that the camera is about to take everyone back to the astral express.
Suddenly! The screen went black.
A harsh electromagnetic sound, accompanied by a static screen flickering on and off.
All of a sudden, the audience who were originally calm were startled.
The picture of Cocolia turning into the mother of deception.
The picture of Stelle pulling out the flaming lance.
The scene of Bronya covering for Stelle.
The overworld… the underworld… all the stories that happened before, flashed in fragments.
Just as the sound was getting more and more intense.
The electromagnetic sound in the background suddenly quieted down.
The picture was frozen in a place full of machinery parts and tools.
With, the familiar red coat and the unruly blue-purple hair, Sampo Koski was talking to the blurry TV screen in front of him.
"At, it was a close thing alright! Fortunately, good thing it dawned on me: Hey, Sampo doesn't need to be the protagonist, right? I, Sampo Koski am better suited to be a comic relief right? "
"It turns out that the guys at Astral Express are more funny than I imagined! You like it? Seriously? Hahaha, it's a masterpiece!"
"No, no, I'm in no hurry to leave, what fun can be found in a place like Epsilon? There is no fun on attending a giant vanity fair. "True happiness always entails the manifestation of the dignity of mankind..." Now that's a quote I live by"
The camera focused on Sampo, who looked like he was talking to the old TV in front of him.
"Oh, also send my regards to the guys and girls in the tavern, and don't forget to tell them to look forward to my next performance. I am leaving now!"
Sampo said as he left the place with a smile.
But just as he finished speaking, he looked at the screen.
No, not the screen. It was the audience on the other side of the screen.
"This story is dedicated to you, my dear audience. I wonder, did I bring a little more joy in your lives?"
At this point, Sampo laughed happily, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Then, he restrained his smile and said, "If not, ah, then old Sampo will be very sad."
...
After the words fell, the comments were all paused for two seconds.
Then, it exploded like a tidal wave.
...
: Mihoyo, I advise you to be kind! I feel so scared now!
: He is talking to us, right? He is talking to us, right?
: MD! There is a traitor! Terminate the deal!
: Oh my god, are you kidding me!
: He knows us!?
: It's so scary, MiHoYo, why did you suddenly do this to us!
: It's a pity that Sampo was ranked first in the last issue of the people who can be trusted! It turns out that he is the one who hides the deepest!
: MD, how did the director come up with such a trick!
: He broke the fourth wall directly, oh my god, this is too scary.
: He popped up like a ghost, I was originally quite emotionally stable, it's all your fault! And Sampo, who broke the fourth wall.
...
It brought the audience an unprecedented feeling.
They never imagined that in this kind of epilogue, Honkai: Star Rail would hide such a deep hidden plot!
"Wow! When I was filming, I didn't even think that I was saying this to the audience!"
"Boss, how did you come up with this idea?" Furina stared, excited about this design. At the same time, she was quite distressed.
After all, she was the assistant director of this segment.
Furina, who only had the storyboard, thought that this segment was said by Sampo to someone else.
With her experience in filming, she naturally thought that this segment would be added together with the other characters' segments just like normal filming.
"This is the boss's strength..." Ayaka also said admiringly: "The script and shots given to us are not redundant at all."
"As a result, sometimes, even if we have read the script and storyboards, it is difficult for us to guess the real scene."
In the script, there are only the main lines and scenes. For Sampo, there are only storyboards.
They can't guess what Xia Wen is thinking.
...
At this moment, as Sampo finished speaking, the express crew, with Bronya and others were bidding farewell to Belobog.
Just when the audience thought that the show was about to end, the screen went black again.
A voice that was obviously different from the local Belobog voice sounded,
"Alas, I thought my life would end on this broken planet."
"Unexpectedly, Jarilo-VI will see the day it is rebuilt, and the signal is connected!"
"Haha, report to the company immediately and ask some big guys to come and liquidate this bad asset as soon as possible."
"I want to get out of the sea of suffering soon."
In the picture, in a space station somewhere, a man wearing a uniform with the IPC logo is looking at Jarilo-VI on the screen.
He is happy. Then he dials a special line. The name on it is: Topaz.
So far.
The Belobog chapter, Epilogue: Time waits for no one my friend.
Officially ended!
...
: Huh?
: There are still knives, ahem, more stories!?
: No, brother, you have finished the whole chapter! Why do you still leave so many suspense's! It makes me anxious!
: That's right, the Xianzhou is coming soon, I am also looking forward to it, and you suddenly increase the strength of Belobog, what should I do?
: I want to see the Xianzhou too, what is the origin of Sampo and this space station! MiHoYo, you have to tell me! Otherwise you are a scumbag!
: I knew it, I can't sleep tonight.
...
The audience can't hold it anymore.
Everyone thought today's episode might be the most emotionally stable episode of the entire Honkai: Star Rail so far.
Unexpectedly, the surprises one after another completely aroused their expectations!
Along with the Xianzhou, now there are these two hidden lines.
The audience can't make a decision at all! They can only denounce MiHoYo.
However. Xia Wen's surprises are far more than that.
With the end of the performance list, supplementary materials appear.
A large number of masks suddenly tore through the cast list and occupied the entire screen.
At the same time, there was a strange and joyful laugh.
[The Aeon of Joy][Aha]
A few big words appeared on the screen.
Although Aha had also appeared in the Aeon PV, it didn't get much space, only a few seconds of screen time.
But this time, Xia Wen wanted to highlight Aha and give it more screen time.
"The Erudition is a hunk of junk, the Preservation is a fool, the Hunt has no sense of humor, and the Destruction is a lunatic. All the Aeons are as stubborn as they come. What a shame for Aha!"
Under this line of text, there is a line of ode-like text, as well as the names of the forces to which the Masked Fool and the Mourning Actor belong.
They only appeared for a few seconds.
After ensuring that the audience could scan some key information, Aha disappeared with another burst of laughter.
It seemed as if it was deliberately teasing the audience.
...
: Damn! Wait, I haven't taken a screenshot yet!
: Too fast! Let me watch it again!
: Joy, Aha, MD Sampo Koski, this guy must believe in Aha!
: Didn't it stay for ten seconds before, why did it only take a blink of an eye to disappear now!?
...
The wonderful design of Aha: The Elation and Sampo left a deep impression in the minds of the audience with this epilogue. Or rather, a very bad impression.
Xia Wen also laughed very happily. Because he had planted another one in the epilogue! It was the preview PV of version 1.1 in the original game!
