Shooting Honkai Impact in a Collapsed World

What attracts the most attention is the huge terrace floating in the void.The gorgeous and exquisite stage is surrounded by stands surrounded by layers of petals.

Then, shadows of puppets with weird postures appeared one after another around the originally empty stage. Accompanied by weird background music, they slowly walked towards the center of the stage with stiff steps.The doll's body is wrapped with countless transparent silk threads, and the source of the silk threads hangs from the sky, as if an invisible hand is controlling everything.

Just when the scene was progressing normally, the background music stopped suddenly, and then, a strange-looking string puppet hung upside down from the top of the screen.Then, it said a line to the camera:

"Welcome to the Domination Theater——"]

"I'll go, it scared me!" Pado covered his left chest with his hand, still frightened. "This is too scary. Is the next movie going to be a horror movie?"

"The sudden appearance of the string puppet at the end is really scary." Aponya said, "Is this also the Herrscher who will appear in the future?"

"Nine times out of ten, according to the line 'Domination Theater', the name of the new Herrscher should be the Herrscher of Domination." Sakura touched the katana at her waist, "I feel that the opponent is not something I am good at dealing with. type."

"The Herrscher of Dominance looks different from the previous Herrschers." Mebius analyzed with great interest, "The previous Herrschers all appeared in the world in human bodies, but the Herrscher of Dominance The Herrscher’s external form seems to be that of a string puppet, and judging from the information revealed so far in the movie, there are quite a few of them.”

"Or maybe the real Herrscher is controlling these puppets behind the strings." Mei also put forward her own opinion, "His true identity is hidden behind the scenes."

"Is it necessary to make such a guess?" Kevin touched his head and asked puzzledly, "Brother Liang must be very aware of the specific information about this Herrscher."

Regarding his words, both Mei and Mebius were speechless for a moment.Mebius said: "May, are you really that guy's external brain?"

Mei pressed her temples: "Stop smiling, Mebius-senpai."

"I'm not kidding." Mebius said meaningfully, "As long as you or Su are around, Kevin seems to give up his own thinking."

"Ahaha!" Kevin scratched his head in embarrassment, but did not refute the other party's words. "Indeed, after all, both of them are much smarter than me. With them by my side, I only need to concentrate on fighting."

"That's right!" Kiana nodded in agreement with her ancestor's words, "I'm actually very smart, but with Mei and Bronya here, I can just leave the thinking to them."

"But our thinking cannot make you pass the exam, idiot Kiana." Bronya complained.

"Kevin, Mei and Mebius will analyze the known intelligence before asking Liang. This is not a waste of effort." Su explained, "Brother Liang once said that he Although he almost knows the identities and powers of all Herrschers, there will inevitably be errors and omissions in what he learns, and if you blindly believe in his words, it may lead to some unexpected situations."

"Oh, I understand." Kevin suddenly realized, "It seems that I have to think more about it in the future."

"Well, come on." Although he didn't quite believe in his friend's brain, Su still encouraged him, "I believe you can do it."

"Are you done? Can we leave now?" Xiaoshi suddenly interrupted, "I'm also going to go back and see what the netizens think of this movie."

Shao Liang grabbed Xiao Shi who stood up from his seat and was about to leave the screening room: "You can't leave."

"What are you doing? Ouch~" Xiaoshi asked in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Shao Liang pulled the other person to prevent him from getting away, "Don't you claim to be the heroine of this movie? Then go to the press conference with me!"

Chapter 69 Heartfelt Words

"Ms. Shi, as a newcomer, you played an important role in the Honkai Impact series for the first time. How do you feel about this?"

"How do you feel? I don't have any feelings. For me, making a movie is a common thing, and the challenge is not difficult."

"...You are really confident in yourself...then may I ask, how would you evaluate your performance in the movie?"

"It's simple - it's perfect because I think I'm the best of all the actors in the cast!"

If anyone thinks that I did not act well, I will ask him to "admit" that I acted well. (The Herrscher of Knowledge has modified your consciousness so that you now think she is the best performer in the entire movie.)

"You are indeed a great Ms. Shi, no one else can compare to you! (Fanatical) - Then, I have one last question that I would like to interview the great Ms. Shi: Why did you agree to star in this movie? "

"Uh--"

The enthusiastic and excited reporter in the audience, and the aloof Xiaoshi who was originally leisurely and contented, were all in trouble because of one question.

["Let me tell you, even if I die, die outside, or jump from the roof of a building, I will absolutely, absolutely, never star in this movie!"

"I'll find a tall building and jump off, you little antique!"]

"I, I think that although making a movie is an ordinary and unchallenging thing for me, but - the quality of this movie is very high! When the director invited me with the script, I I fell in love with this script. Coupled with the other party’s sincere invitation, I was moved by his attitude, so I agreed. Yes! That’s right! That’s it!”

"Oh! She is indeed a great lady, what a kind and broad-minded person she is! I was so moved that I almost burst into tears!"

"Alright, okay..."

Did I push too hard?Xiaoshi thought a little uneasily in his heart.

"Cough cough cough!" Shao Liang, who was sitting next to Xiao Shi, coughed violently. "This journalist friend seems to appreciate our Xiao Shi actor very much. Thank you very much. However, you have asked enough questions. , please also give other journalist friends some opportunities."

As he spoke, he used Yu Duchen's power to "make" the reporter sit down, and pointed his finger at another reporter in the audience.

"Mr. Chief Planner, as the director of the previous Honkai series movies and also one of the leaders of Fire Chaser, you informed the whole world about the existence of Honkai Impact." The new reporter first talked about Shao Liang's story. identity, and then continued, "Dead warriors, Honkai beasts, and even the Herrscher, the apostle of Honkai Will, are like natural disasters to ordinary people. However, in your movies, people who stand on behalf of human beings constantly appear. The Herrscher on one side is even willing to sacrifice his own life in order to protect mankind..."

"Journalist friend, could you please simplify your language and just state the question directly." Shao Liang frowned. He felt that the other party seemed to have bad intentions.

"Sorry, what I want to ask is, do the Herrschers who appear in our real life really fight for us humans like in the movies?" The reporter finally asked his question, "In addition, Is their existence safe for ordinary people? Because I saw in the movie that the Herrscher of Knowledge would cause a Honkai explosion without even realizing it, destroying a small village."

Shao Liang's eyes narrowed. The other party's question was not very friendly to the Herrscher who was on the human side, but it did represent the aspirations of some ordinary people.The Third Herrscher brought the existence of Honkai to the public. The former senior leaders of Fire Chaser tried their best to cover it up, but soon after, they were used by Shao Liang to seize power through some special means. Then during the Fourth Herrscher He officially announced the existence of Honkai to the outside world.

Nowadays, ordinary people's understanding of Honkai comes partly from the introduction of Fire Moth, partly from the sharing on the Internet by survivors who have personally experienced Honkai, but a considerable part of it comes from the movies directed by Shao Liang.This has resulted in ordinary people having two impressions of Honkai: Honkai is a "natural disaster" that must destroy human civilization; Herrscher is the agent of his will, but there are good and bad.

Unfortunately, all the seven Herrschers currently appearing in reality have caused harm to human civilization to varying degrees, and among them, the third Herrscher, who has affected the entire Southeast Asia, is the most prominent. (Affected by this, total annihilation is too exaggerated)

In other words, from the perspective of ordinary people, there is no Herrscher who is on the side of mankind in reality (the Original Herrscher is still hidden, and the Seventh Herrscher is not suitable to appear in front of the public).

Therefore, a considerable number of people believe that the Herrschers portrayed by Shao Liang in the movie who are on the side of mankind are purely artistic fictions.Even if they really exist, they are very likely to pose a threat to ordinary people, and the small village in Taixu Mountain in the movie released this time is proof.

"The original theme of today's press conference was just about the plot of the movie and the performance of the actors. In other words, I didn't have to answer your question." Shao Liang looked at the reporter with a serious expression. , "But I really need to respond to your question in a timely manner."

"Herrschers, they are indeed the apostles of the Honkai Impact, walking natural disasters. However, they first need to be born in a human body. After overthrowing the host's consciousness, they can seize the human body."

"However, if human consciousness defeats the Herrscher's consciousness in turn, then she is a human with the Herrscher's power." Shao Liang continued, "This has been reflected in many works in my works, and this is not Art fiction.”

"As for whether they will unintentionally release the Honkai energy in their bodies and harm ordinary people, my answer is - no!" He assured categorically, "To be able to defeat the Herrscher consciousness, the tenacity of their will is enough." Surpassing the vast majority of people in the world, how can such a person not be able to control the power within his body?"

"So, although it is true that there are still no Herrschers on the side of mankind in reality, I implore everyone to give some trust to them who may appear in the future." His heartfelt words spread throughout the world through live television, " At the same time, I also hope that if the Herrscher consciousness really appears in your body in the future, you can remember what I said today, work hard to defeat it, and let them see the power of us humans!"

Chapter 70 The conversation between Xiaoshi and Hou Beng Yayi

"The words you just said were probably not just for Kiana and the others, right?"

After the press conference, Xiao Shi asked Shao Liang in the background.

"Huh?" Shao Liang, who seemed to be thinking about something, came back to his senses and looked at the other party, "What do you think my other purpose is?"

"Hey." Xiaoshi spat disdainfully, "You're still pretending to be stupid, you think I don't know? Whether it's the Herrscher of Knowledge next - which is really awkward to say, or the Dominant Herrscher, they are all attacking people. The spiritual level. In particular, they are good at inciting the negative consciousness of ordinary people."

"In other words, both of them have the power to make humans kill each other, but if the host's consciousness is strong enough, their abilities will put themselves in an embarrassing situation."

Regarding Xiao Shi's inference, Shao Liang nodded: "Yes, a normal Herrscher of Knowledge will not have such a strong force value like you, let alone a Dominant Herrscher."

"That's why you used that reporter's question to encourage people to have the courage to fight against the Herrscher's consciousness." Xiao Shi told Shao Liang's plan, but sarcastically said, "Stop it and think that ordinary people's consciousness can defeat the Herrist." With the consciousness of the Herrscher, whether it is me as the Herrscher, or you who have the power of multiple Herrschers in one body, you should be very clear that that is absolutely impossible to happen."

"If the consciousness of the dignified Herrschers can be defeated by the will of ordinary people, can they still be called Herrschers?"

"I haven't pinned all my hopes on this, or to put it more clearly, this is an idle move." Shao Liang explained, "It's best if it works. Even if it doesn't work, there won't be any." What a loss.”

"So I say this is unnecessary." With that, Xiaoshi walked towards the exit of the backstage, "But thank you for what you said for us."

Shao Liang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party, who always liked to be tough-tongued, would thank him so frankly this time. It seemed that what he said really touched the other party.However, he didn't tell Xiaoshi all his intentions just now. In addition to supporting Kiana and the others, he also hoped that one day in the future, after that person's identity as a Herrscher was exposed, she, who had always liked human beings, could also get Human kindness responds.

At the exit of the backstage, the leisurely Xiaoshi saw Fu Hua standing there, so she greeted him: "Hey, Ban Lao Gu, are you waiting for me?"

"Well, I have something to ask you." The expression on Fu Hua's face was a little serious, which also made the smile on Xiao Shi's face fade away.

"Why are you putting on such an expression? Oh, I understand, you must want me to do something I don't like again!" Xiaoshi's eyes widened, "I tell you, no way!"

"It's not what you think." Fu Hua explained, "You should know very well that the two of us come from different timelines, and in the era I live in, the Herrscher of Knowledge has not yet been born..."

Xiaoshi's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean-"

Seeing that the other party seemed to understand what he was thinking, Fu Hua nodded: "Yes, I want to..."

No one except the two of them knew what Xiao Shi and Fu Hua had talked about.And the next morning, when Mei, who came from the post-Bengchu period, was preparing meals in the cafeteria and waiting for everyone to arrive, she saw Xiaoshi with dark circles under his eyes, yawning, and looking like he had stayed up late to cultivate for several days.

"It can make a herrist fall into such a state of exhaustion, Xiaoshi, what did you do after watching the movie last night?" Hou Beng Yayi asked Xiaoshi while pouring a cup of tea.

"Don't mention it, that half-old guy actually gave me such a difficult problem that I couldn't sleep well all night." Xiaoshi, who looked tired, took the teacup handed over by the other party and licked it gently with his lips. After taking one sip, I felt refreshed and asked, "What is this? It tastes so weird!"

"This is tea made with wolfberry, chrysanthemum, mint, lemon, Panax notoginseng and other ingredients." Hou Beng Yayi introduced, "It is said that people who drink it after staying up late are very good for the body. You all came back from watching the movie yesterday almost It's the middle of the night, and we have to discuss the plot of the movie and so on, so the sleep time must be very short. So, I specially prepared this to replenish everyone's health."

"As expected of Mei Yi, you are so thoughtful." Xiao Shi held the handle of the teacup with one hand and gave the other person a thumbs up with the other hand. "Indeed, after drinking it, I became energetic."

Hou Beng Yayi smiled helplessly: "There is no such immediate effect. This must be your psychological effect."

"Really? Maybe." Xiaoshi said while drinking, and asked the other party a question, "By the way, why didn't you go to the movie premiere with us yesterday? It was obviously so lively."

"Well - well, actually for me, attending movie premieres is nothing new." Hou Beng Yayi also poured herself a cup of tea, "You know, I'm already in a... It will be nearly ten years after the Great Collapse completely ended.”

"Yeah, I know, I'm still curious about what I was like when you were there." Xiaoshi nodded repeatedly, "Keep going!"

"You haven't changed much. You are still traveling around the world, and occasionally return to St. Freya to 'instruct' the students." Hou Beng Yayi briefly explained the other party's future situation, "Then, actually, our side The events that happened in the past were also made into a series of movies, although I and everyone else did not appear..."

"Oh - that's why you're not interested in movies." Xiaoshi suddenly realized, but then asked with interest, "Are the movies shot in your timeline the same as the ones here?"

"It's basically the same, but it has also undergone some processing by the Counter-Entropy Entertainment Group." Hou Beng Yayi said, "However, it is definitely not as good as the one shot here with the original crew."

"Anti-Entropy Entertainment Group?" Xiao Shi muttered, "Is the future already so peaceful?"

"Yes, the general environment is indeed peaceful, but there may also be some hidden crises." Hou Beng Yayi continued, "After the Great Collapse, Anti-Entropy returned to the Tianming banner and became a special department. In order to deal with it, New crises may arise at any time, requiring a large amount of funds to develop new defense weapons. Therefore, Counter-Entropy Entertainment Group was established, mainly operating movies, games, etc."

"Wait a minute, didn't Bishop Tianming grant funds to his subordinates at that time?" Xiaoshi asked doubtfully.

In response, Hou Beng Yayi smiled awkwardly: "Bishop Theresa did not deny them funds, but Dr. Tesla and the others always have some minor accidents during their research..."

Chapter 71 Honkai things

""The Honkai Impact" - Come and review the stories we have gone through with Otto."

"What is this?" In the teacher's dormitory of St. Freya, Teresa looked at the video file with the above title on the laptop screen with a question mark on her face.

"This is one of the things that Kiana and the others brought back from the previous civilization." Jizi sat on the sofa in the living room and lazily answered the other party's doubts, "Doesn't the Honkai Impact mobile game here also need to be timed? Update, and this is what comes with the update package."

"Not only our side, the headquarters, Anti-Entropy, and World Snake have a share."

The expression on Theresa's face became even more confused: "I can understand that the headquarters and Anti-Entropy have this thing, but who sent it to the World Snake?"

"Who else could it be, but our bishop?" Jizi shrugged helplessly, "According to the news from Rita, the bishop found this video very interesting after watching it, and even re-dubbed it himself. . Then, I sent someone to find Gray Snake and handed this thing over to him."

"Grandpa...have you been idle recently?" Theresa covered her forehead with her hands, feeling a headache. "Not only did he delegate the management of destiny to Amber and Hollander, but he also often disappeared and suddenly disappeared. What does he want to do when he appears?"

Ji Zi speculated: "For him, destiny is just a dispensable tool to help him realize his long-cherished wish. Now that he may have a better substitute, he will naturally no longer value destiny."

"You are so willful at such an old age!" Theresa said dissatisfied, and her words made Ji Zi roll her eyes.

"The crow laughs at the pig as he laughs..." Jizi muttered in a low voice.

"What are you talking about?" Theresa asked strangely. She didn't hear clearly what the other party just said. "Since grandpa thinks this video is interesting, I'll take a look. Jizi, sit here too. "

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get a bottle of beer." Jizi got up from the sofa, walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen, and took a bottle of her favorite.

"Drinking beer again. Although you are now in good health, you still have to be careful." Theresa nagged, "What will you do if you develop alcoholic liver disease or something?"

"Do you think I, a Valkyrie, would get that kind of thing?" Jizi looked at the other party speechlessly, "My usual amount of training can completely avoid this happening, and it's just one bottle."

"Okay, okay, I can't convince you." Theresa gave up preaching. The other party used to like drinking, partly because she wanted to use alcohol to numb the pain in her body.Now that I'm in good health and I still drink, it's just a hobby. "Let me see something that even grandpa finds interesting. How about it."

["Honkai, its history is much longer than we imagined." At the beginning of the video, cartoon versions of Kevin and Hua appeared, standing on the earth and shaking their bodies.The camera zoomed out, and underneath the earth, there was a woman struggling to lift them with both hands.At the same time, there is also Otto’s serious voiceover, “It won a war of its own as early as 5 years ago and wiped out the human civilization of the previous generation.”]

"Pfft──" Jizi just took a sip of beer and before she swallowed it, she spat out the wine in her mouth because she saw the funny picture on the screen, "Hahahahaha! What are all these?!"

At this time, a suppressed angry voice came from beside her: "Ji——Zi——!"

"Uh..." Seeing Theresa's face covered with transparent liquid, Jizi felt a little embarrassed.In order not to spray the wine on the computer screen just now, I had to turn around and spit it into Theresa's face, "Sorry, sorry, but I am also doing this to protect the school's public property. This computer is quite expensive. "
