"Mei! Mei, did you see that? The cat's back!"
Meiyi: "..."
Yes, after returning, we'll be stabbed again, then pulled back up, and then stabbed again along with Paradise...
Can you believe that a harmless, incredibly cute kitten died four times?
Chapter 329 The Spiral of Velvet
Mei could only manage a dry laugh at Kiana.
It's best not to say this out loud.
After all, spoiling plot points is a bad thing to do.
Moreover, since Paradise has actually arrived here, every second that players can be happy about is precious...
For example, right now... the game's storyline is about to deliver another blow to the players.
Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Pado and Kevin could return.
But... she didn't hear the answer she had been waiting for: whether [Alicia] could return.
Seeing that Wilvi had nothing more to say, she knew the final answer in her heart.
An indescribable discomfort almost made her lose control of her emotions.
"Then... what about Alicia?"
Undeterred, she still asked the question.
Her voice trembled slightly as she asked the questions.
When Mei asked this question, the players in the live stream felt a sudden tightness in their hearts, and their excitement about the return of the cat vanished instantly.
Velvi: "..."
silence.
"Alicia, she..."
After another moment of silence, Velvet sighed, "I don't want to believe it either... but the Herrscher... seems to have indeed deleted all her data..."
"That Wilvi didn't want anyone to discover that Kevin still had the possibility of being resurrected, so she destroyed the typewriter and forged a file stating that Kevin was dead."
"But the night Alicia disappeared... the [absolutely objective] typewriter hadn't been destroyed yet. So..."
……
This answer made countless people feel upset, yet somewhat helpless.
Kiana is the same.
At this point, her fingers were numb from clicking the screen.
In the game, she didn't hear a word that Virvi said afterward.
She was thinking, trying to come up with an excuse for Alicia's return to the plot.
……
"...Now you understand the whole story."
"There are only two things we need to do next."
"First, I must defeat that Velvi and free you from my mind..."
"This is going to be a tough battle, after all, she possesses almost half of [Vilvie's] mindset... that is, half of her [intelligence]."
"What if... you, me, and the Herrscher of Corruption will all end up being killed by her? That's probably what she's planning."
Vervi's words brought everyone's thoughts back to the present.
Holy crap! Is that extremely evil Velvi really that terrifying?
So... the extremely evil Velvie isn't really a villain after all...?
[Both righteous and evil? I don't understand her... I have nothing to say about her seeking revenge against other Velvies after being imprisoned for 50,000 years.]
But why did she kill Kevin, and kill the cat...?
[Defeating the Herrscher of Corruption... Even though she's "extremely evil," she's still Velvet, right? Her belief in fighting the Honkai still exists...?]
[Leaving aside killing Kevin and the cat, why did she help the Herrscher of Corruption kill Mei? Wasn't she ultimately planning to kill the Herrscher of Corruption?]
To prove yourself?
……
The comments section was filled with discussion, but no one could come to a conclusion.
There was nothing they could do but refocus their attention on the game's storyline.
Kiana, meanwhile, snapped out of her daze and began to watch the story unfold.
She still couldn't come up with an excuse to bring Alicia back...
At this moment, Mei in the game has brought Velvet to the "Extreme Evil" Velvet.
When she saw Mei, "Extremely Evil" Wilvi was utterly shocked.
Because she had already checked repeatedly beforehand, the area where Mei was located had clearly disappeared completely.
Mei should be completely dead.
Mei didn't explain, but simply pulled out [Vilvie the True Self] which was hiding behind her.
"...It's you!" Upon seeing the [Id], [Extreme Evil] immediately realized what was happening.
The id, with a touch of shyness and utmost sincerity, greeted the wicked: "You... hello... this is our first time meeting, isn't it..."
The two spoke in contrasting tones: one was sickly sweet, the other gentle and mild.
It's clearly the same voice, yet it represents two different personalities.
The comments section was filled with praise, saying that this voice actor's professional skills were truly outstanding.
During their conversation, the audience learned a crucial piece of information—
The current "extremely evil" Velvie is all the [data] that remains of Velvie after she was corrupted.
In other words, if the "extreme evil" Velvi disappears, then the "id" will also cease to exist.
Seeing this, the players had a bad feeling.
Could it be... that they will ultimately perish together?
Then, an even more unexpected plot twist occurred.
Surprisingly, the area of thought where "Extreme Evil" Vilvie resides is not used to imprison "evil thoughts".
The true "extreme evil," and what is constantly being incorporated into it... is actually just Velvi's "confidence" and "arrogance"...
Inspiration, sparks, intense ideas, and the confidence that "I can change everything."
The reason Virvi locked her up was because these ideas were not suitable for that era on the verge of destruction.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it? You don't have to believe me. I just have a feeling... I should tell you."
"And you've probably guessed it already, haven't you? Only this explanation can explain why I know what you're planning to do and can predict your every move..."
"Because the choices that someone makes to change something... will never actually change."
Seeing this, the players finally felt relieved.
This Velvi... she really isn't a malicious person.
This is why "extreme evil" is put in quotation marks...
Although players had already guessed it, they still couldn't help but sigh after learning the truth.
Of course, the "evil" Velvi in the game won't suddenly repent just because of a few words.
That's too old-fashioned.
So... in the end, a war was still inevitable.
Mei had already lost once.
This time, Mei is still no match for the "extremely evil" Velvet, who possesses the power of corruption.
Kiana was also incredibly nervous during the game.
If she loses again this time... Mei might really die in the game.
At this moment, Kiana was completely immersed in the story.
Just as she was getting anxious, a familiar voice came from the game.
The great magician, Velvet: "Welcome to Velvet's one-man show!"
When the magician Velvet appeared, it caught not only Kiana and the audience off guard.
Even the "evil" in the game was startled.
"What... a magician? Impossible! I clearly already..."
