"Everyone, I've been so focused on pulling characters…"

"The main story of 2.1 isn't finished yet!"

Little Gui's livestream.

Guinaifen returned to the mission interface.

Continuing the story.The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovelfire.net

[At the same time, deep within the Memory Zone]

"The story of Aventurine's arc has temporarily ended, but other things are still happening elsewhere…"

Seeing the mission description.

Guinaifen nodded thoughtfully.

Next should be some aftermath and setting up foreshadowing for the 2.2 storyline…

After all, Aventurine and Acheron caused such a huge commotion.

The various factions in the story are bound to be affected in some way.

[You try to open your eyes, but all you see is darkness.]

[Memories gradually surface, rewinding to a few minutes ago: Aventurine launches his final attack, a torrent of glittering chips pours down, Acheron draws her blade, and then, "Boom" —]

[—That indescribable force severs Preservation, the surrounding space-time instantly freezes, and your thoughts are twisted into a knot in that moment. Your senses fail, only gravity tears at your brain, and you fall into an endless abyss of darkness…]

[…Until a cluster of flames embraces you.]

"Flames?"

"Sister Himeko?"

However.

When the scene before her appeared.

The sight of that silver-white mech figure immediately startled Guinaifen!

"Holy cow!!!"

"Sam!?"

At this moment, Sam stood with her back to the protagonist.

Still speaking in that mechanical and flat tone: "You're awake."

"I've been waiting here for you for a long time."

[What's going on, where exactly is this?]

"The narrow gap between dreams. You've already met me, Stellaron Hunter: Sam."

"I wanted to appear before you earlier, to tell you some truths."

"But the obstacles I faced were greater than expected. Eleven times, I made attempts, but all ended in failure. Unknowingly, my connection to this world became too tight, making it difficult to escape the constraints of the script."

"Elio was right, in this land of dreams, both of us will gain unforgettable experiences."

"I'm not as adept at understanding people as he and Kafka are, nor do I possess the unique skills of Silver Wolf and Blade. Most of what I excel at is only suitable for dealing with merciless villains."

"So—the only method I can use is this one."

...

"Oh my god…"

"Suddenly being so friendly makes me feel a bit uncomfortable."

"The Stellaron Hunter has caught the Stellaron essence!"

"Bro, you smell so good!"

"Truth-telling session?"

"Sam is still striking a pose."

"Bro, saying all this is too formal. The moment I first saw you, I knew we were destined to be brothers!"

...

As Sam finished speaking.

A blue light appeared on her body.

Then, within a whirlwind of flames.

The figure of a girl emerged.

"That is to show you…"

"My true self."

The girl turned her head.

Her face, eroded by Entropy Loss Syndrome, was revealed.

And she...

Was Firefly, who had previously "died."

In the live stream.

After a brief silence.

An explosion of reactions erupted!

...

"?"

"???"

"How could this be!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Holy crap!?"

""He's Good at Creating Hell""Igniting the Sea""

"I thought we were going to fight, but you show me this?!"

"Eternal sleep is not the end, the departed… shall return!"

"The fastest resurrection legend achieved!"

"It's really Firefly! I always thought it was just rumors online…"

"Firefly, can I borrow your transformation device? I'll do anything!"

"I miss you, Firefly!"

"I'm rushing over to hug you!"

"Now I like her even more!"

...

However.

Just as all the players were both shocked and delighted, eagerly anticipating Firefly to say more and wondering how the Trailblazer would face this tangled web of grievances…

Four large characters suddenly appeared on the screen—

[To Be Continued]

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

"?"

"Gaia!!!!"

Guinaifen was so furious she slammed the table.

Although she had heard rumors before that Sam was Firefly.

She never actually believed it!

Now, seeing it with her own eyes, her brain completely short-circuited!

Finally snapping out of her dazed state…

She was desperate to know!

—How could Firefly transform into Sam?

—What exactly had she gone through?

—How did she win the resurrection match?

Her mind was filled with curiosity and questions.

However.

The story abruptly ended here!

Making Guinaifen feel as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat.

"Gaia!!!!!"

"Why did it have to end here?!!"

"Couldn't you have said a few more words?!!"

"Wuwuwu…"

Guinaifen was now in a frenzy!

She wished she could rush outside the hotel and directly ask Sam for answers!

However.

Outside the hotel.

The scene was equally chaotic!

Many people's gazes toward Sam became extremely complicated!

That cold, powerful iron knight…

The Molten Knight who would say things like "ignite the sea" and "leave now, and no one will get hurt"…

Was actually a cute girl like Firefly inside?!

If this weren't the story of Honkai: Star Rail.

Many people would have started cursing right away!

In the hallway.

Sam appeared calm and composed.

Standing there motionless.

Showing no signs of anything unusual.

Making many people start to doubt.

However.

In reality.

Firefly inside the mech was already at a loss!

The story had just exposed her identity.

Now everyone knew that Sam was Firefly…

Although this was also her wish.

But…

"This… is a bit too sudden!"

"I think I still need some time to adjust…"

"For now, I'll just stay in Sam's form."

The cold, gleaming mech still made others dare not look directly at it for too long.

Although the story revealed that Firefly was Sam.

But…

Sam's combat style and demeanor were too deeply ingrained in people's minds.

If they kept staring at Sam.

Sam might suddenly charge over!

Grabbing them like a chicken.

And ask, "Do you want to dance?"

Someone whispered, "Is he really Firefly? The contrast is too strong!"

"Unless she transforms right before my eyes, I still find him terrifying..."

"Maybe Firefly has one personality normally, and another when she's in her mech suit."

"Very likely!"

"If only Yu Ling could produce a short film about the Glamoth Iron Cavalry."

"Indeed..."

At that moment.

The screen lit up again!

Little Gui, who had been lying on the couch, immediately sat up!

"There's another master!?"

And there!

The person appearing in the scene.

Was none other than Gallagher, the previously inconspicuous officer from the Bloodhound Family!

This scruffy-looking uncle was considered by many players to be just an NPC in the story.

Yet now, he appeared in such an important place as the Dewlight Pavilion!

"Labyrinthine corridors and halls, traps and mechanisms everywhere... the owner of this mansion must be quite paranoid," Gallagher commented.

In front of the sand table.

Sunday spoke coldly, "You're quite humorous, Officer. I hope that sense of humor has helped you find the serial killer."

"Just sharing my personal opinion. What, did I hit a nerve?"

"Mr. Gallagher, my patience is limited. Slacking off—only makes me more suspicious that you're connected to the real culprit."

"Scoundrel, ruffian, drunkard, hooligan... I've heard all these insults before, but I never thought I'd one day be accused of being an accomplice to a murderer."

Gallagher sneered as he approached Sunday.

"I take back what I said earlier: your problem isn't being too paranoid. You're insane, understand? Insane."

"Instead of focusing on me, you should be more concerned about those foreign guests causing a ruckus at the amusement park."

The corner of Sunday's mouth twitched slightly, "No need to remind me. The moment that envoy stepped out of the pavilion, I knew what he was up to. My servant, Nightingale, saw it all."

"Because my target has always been you, Bloodhound. The more noise he makes, the better my chance to make you and your true master (The Watchmaker) pay for your crimes."

...

"My God, he's the only one who dares to talk to Sunday like that."

"Why is Gallagher so arrogant..."

"Holy crap! He's with The Watchmaker!?"

"Until just now, I thought he was just a regular four-star character..."

"Everyone's a master!!"

"A mole in the family?"

"Quick! Keep going! Keep clashing! I want more revelations!"
