After saying goodbye to Bronya, Kiana came to the restaurant of Anti-Entropy.

Here, she temporarily put aside the doubts in her mind and had a delicious meal.

After eating, she went out to eat and met Xi’er, Principal Theresa and others.

From Senior Theresa, she learned more about Sirin.

After saying goodbye to Principal Theresa, Kiana walked to Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla with something on her mind.

As soon as I arrived here, I heard Dr. Tesla’s loud and noisy voice.

After some exchanges with the two doctors,

I realized that the number of dolls may be more than 1,000.

It seems that the two doctors are currently busy dealing with the aftermath of the Thousand Herrscher incident.

Kiana didn’t ask about Sirin.

So, after bidding farewell to the two postdocs, she left the conference room.

As soon as I went out, I almost bumped into Xier.

“Hug, sorry! Didn’t he hit you?”

Xie’er quickly apologized.

“Okay, okay… Xi’er, why are you standing at the door?”

Hearing Kiana’s question, Xier quickly said:”I asked other people and said you were in this conference room, so I came to find you. Just as I was about to knock on the door,……”

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Just now, I didn’t say anything strange to Kiana, right?”

Kiana asked a little strangely:”Weird words? No. Rather, I am very grateful to Xi’er for the advice she gave me. Xi’er took a long breath and said:”Huh…that’s good…she refused to tell me what happened. I’m extremely worried.””

“?”Kiana didn’t understand what Xi’er was talking about.

Xi’er continued:”If you have any troubles, please feel free to discuss it with me!”

“Kiana is my friend, and I am very happy to be able to contribute to my friend.”

Kiana smiled and said,”Then I’ll ask you to do it next time, too?”

“Um!”Xie’er nodded vigorously.

Time passed unconsciously.

Salt Lake Base, Kiana’s bedroom, late at night.

Kiana was lying on the bed, and she suddenly showed a happy expression:

“Ah – I’m so exhausted, so exhausted!”

During today’s training, she was pretending that something was wrong, but she accidentally arrived at this time.

However, thinking about what happened during the day, she felt that she was still very lucky.

Everyone was thinking about her, even if they were The question was baffling, but no one laughed at her and answered her questions seriously.

Everyone cared about her and helped her in various ways.

These made her feel really lucky. Met such a good group of friends.

She couldn’t help but said:”Thank you…Thank you……”

With such emotions, she slowly fell asleep.

Boom!

There was a sudden loud noise outside the door.

Awakening Kiana from her half-asleep state

“who!”

In this base deep underground, everything is always quiet during breaks, which further highlights the unnaturalness of the sound.

“Strange, everyone should be asleep by now. Did something fall?”

Gurgling – something was rolling on the floor. The monotonous and mechanical sound was untimely and weird.

She couldn’t help but become alert, slowly moved her steps, and moved to the door silently.

There was no breath outside the door, There is no hostility. However, we cannot take it lightly. Once the danger is confirmed, everyone must be notified immediately.

She prepared for the attack, and then opened the door suddenly.

However, the moment she opened the door, it was not a familiar base. Corridor.

Instead……

“Why……”

“This, this is……”

“……Dominate the theater?!”

Kiana looked at the familiar place in front of her in surprise.

At this moment, the familiar laughter of the doll came over

“Hahahaha!”

“who?”Kiana looked surprised

“Asking questions knowingly ~ Kiana, you are here, you are finally here! We have been waiting for you for a long time!”

The doll smiled strangely, showing her happiness to Kiana

“us……? Why……”Kiana doesn’t understand the current situation.

Looking at the confused Kiana, the doll said:

“The battle was obviously successful, but the doll should have disappeared. Do you want to know what happened? I really want to know, right?”

“Then come on, come on, let me see your determination!”

“he he he he he!”

The eerie laughter resounded in the empty Dominion Theater.

Looking at the puppet in front of her, Kiana secretly said:”There are still puppets alive, and the Dominion Theater has not disappeared… No wonder the power of the Herrscher of Reason has not returned.”

“But… why? Are there any fish that slipped through the net, or are there more than a thousand of them?”

Kiana chased in the direction of the puppet.

The puppet was already waiting for her on the platform above the theater.

“Hee hee, you are here, you are chasing me! Sure enough, we read it right, you are the most qualified person!”

Kiana was a little confused:”Qualification? What nonsense are you talking about?

The doll shook its head and said,”I know you, Kiana.” The hero who saved our city…Kiana, the Herrscher of the Sky!”

Kiana immediately understood:”Are you… someone who lives in Tianqiong City?!”

The puppet said again and again:”Yes, yes, we have met before, hee hee hee!”

“You don’t remember me, but I’ve always wanted to see you again, and I’ve always wanted to thank you in person.……”

The doll begins to recall the past

“At that time, I was just an ordinary middle school student. I grew up on the outskirts of Tianqiong City and never left.”

“But suddenly one day, a monster broke into the school and crushed the peaceful life I was accustomed to.”

“The campus was reduced to rubble, and my friends, classmates, and teachers were all buried under the rubble.”

“I listened with my own ears as their cries for help gradually became fainter and became silent, while I could only cry on the sidelines.”

“Maybe my life will end here, maybe no one will come to save us, I thought so and slowly closed my eyes.”

“Just then – you appeared”

“You smiled and touched my head and told me it was okay. You did a good job and rescue will be here soon.”

“You don’t look much older than me, but your smile is firm, brave, beautiful, and dazzling. Like a light shining on me”

“I wiped away my tears and mustered up the courage to stand up again”

“The school is in ruins, but at least I’m still alive”

“To me at that time, you were the embodiment of hope. I believe that as long as we work hard, everything will get better.”

At this point, the doll’s face was filled with expectations for future life.

However, the next moment, its expression changed and its tone became sad.

“but i was wrong”

“I survived, but became the target of public criticism”

“The kids on the block all went to the same school and I was the only survivor”

“Most of the surrounding families lost their blood relatives forever in that disaster. They supported and encouraged each other, but they only drifted away from my parents.”

“Why am I the only one alive? This voice spread little by little and eventually turned into hatred”

“No one was willing to give us a place to hide, no one was willing to provide my parents with jobs, and even post-disaster relief postponed our family’s application for various reasons.”

“Disasters did not defeat us, but human beings as compatriots did!”

“My mother was in tears all day long, and my father, who was originally hardworking and enterprising, began to drink heavily and became irritable.”

“One day, I heard him mumbling drunkenly——”(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“It would be great if she also died in that disaster”

“At that moment, something cracked in my heart”

“Then, a voice whispered in my ear——”

“Welcome to the Domination Theater.”

After listening to the doll’s narration, Kiana fell silent.[]

The audience in the live broadcast room also fell silent

【Paimon: This…well, I don’t know what to say.】

【Xingqiu: Human nature is so complex, it’s difficult to use one thing to define a person’s wrong or right】

【Kamisato Ayato: In such a world, whether it is redemption or disaster, everything is just another source of misfortune.】

【Xiaogong: Those of us who are still young have been walking on thin ice all our lives. It is not easy to reach the other side! So, please cherish every second of happiness. 】

The puppet continued talking

“I often think, if you hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t have to suffer so much, and my parents would be better off.”

“A long time after that, I heard about you again. You stopped the bomb and saved the entire city, but my disaster continued again.”

“Your self-righteous heroic act has brought me more pain!”

“The despicability of human hearts is far more terrifying than disaster. In such a world, there is no real salvation from the beginning!”

“Since living���It’s more painful than death, so why did you save me?”

“Since the future is darker than the present, why do you want to persuade me to look toward the light?”

“Since you call yourself a hero, why…are you trying to save those bastards who tortured my parents and ruined their lives?”

“Finally, here, I found the answer.”

The doll asked these questions with a cry of resentment.

Without waiting for Kiana to answer, she continued:

“Look, everyone in this theater is like this, everyone in this world is like this——”

“Blind, impulsive, selfish, sad, don’t know what you want, don’t know what you should do, just let others control you, be a pathetic actor, a stupid puppet”

“I want to thank you. You left me on this stage of despair just to tell me this.……”

“I’m no different than them. I am also one of such despicable…ugly…human beings!”

Kiana quietly listened to the puppet’s words. However, she did not think so about the puppet’s views.

“……No.”

Kiana’s eyes are still firm. Along the way, she is no longer the girl who is easily shaken by others.

“I won’t be fooled by you. You are the Herrscher of Domination, not a human being. You amplify the negative emotions in these people’s hearts and induce them to go to extremes”

“But you are just a puppet that parodies human thinking. The human heart is by no means such a simple thing, and your host, that girl, is definitely not such a fragile person!”

The puppet chuckled:”Oh, whatever you say”

“It seems that you still don’t know your situation clearly.”

“Come on, come on, I still have many stories to tell you.”

The figure of the doll disappeared here.

Kiana walked along the place where the doll disappeared.

At this time, what she was thinking in her heart was far less firm than what she just said.

“.I saved that child, but put her in a more difficult situation……”

“Did my efforts… bring worse results?”

Shaking her head.

Kiana chased all the way along the shattered theater.

At the stairs in front, the puppet was waiting for her.

“Hee hee, you caught up with me again! As a bonus, I can give you a chance to ask a question. Only once!”

……

Kiana hesitated for a moment and then asked:”Your host, that girl, is she… still alive?”

The puppet said somewhat boringly:”Hey, what? It’s such a question. It’s really boring.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll answer you. Who said we are more honest than humans?”

“That I am still alive for now. However, being ostracized by the people around me and ignored by my parents, my heart is going to collapse bit by bit, and life is worse than death.”

“This is all your fault. It was you who saved those bastards who tortured me. Those people didn’t deserve to live at all! You should have let that bomb blow them all up!”

Kiana said firmly:”I won’t do that. Even if I had to choose again, I would prevent that disaster.”

The puppet shouted:”Then you are their accomplice! Accomplice! Executioner!”

Kiana ignored it.

She slowly expressed her point of view:”They spread the pain of losing their loved ones to the survivors. This is the evil of the human heart.”

“But you also said that they support each other, encourage each other, strive to get out of the shadows as soon as possible, and work hard to live. This is the kindness of people’s hearts.”

“There is good and evil coexisting in everyone’s heart, and this will not be a reason for me to give up saving.”

After listening to Kiana’s words, the puppet sneered:

“Ha ha? What’s that? In your own defense?”

“That’s right, that’s right, after all, you yourself are the biggest evil!”

“Hehehe, after talking so much about me, it’s time to talk about you.”

“What should I call you? Kiana? Experimental subject K423? Or… the Herrscher of the Sky, Siren?”

Hearing this, Kiana’s pupils shrank slightly.

She suddenly reacted:”……! Is your goal (Li’s good) goal?……”

The puppet dances and smiles

“Correct answer, correct answer! Hee hee hee!”

“As you may have noticed, we can visit people who have the potential to become companions”

“But her consciousness has been suppressed so badly by you that we can’t wrap the thread around you, so we can’t invite her to our theater as a guest.”

“So, we decided! No matter what the price is, we will bring you into our theater!”

“Each of us is weak, but as long as we gather the strength of everyone, we will definitely make you have a flaw!”

“We don’t care about your little traps, tricks, or even firing cannons in our theater.”

“Because from the moment you enter the theater, we’ve made it happen! he he he he he!”

“Come on, come on, let’s choose a suitable place, it’s time to bring the drama to a close.”

After the doll finished speaking, it disappeared again.

Kiana was stunned on the spot. At this moment, all the doubts and all the wrong things were now understood.

The Herrscher of Domination had planned all this from the beginning.

Therefore, they didn’t care about the sacrifice of their companions at all.

Shaking her head, with new doubts, she chased in the direction where the puppets disappeared. Following the stairs, she came to a platform.

In front of her, the number of puppets increased significantly..When she came here, the weird laughter of the dolls also came over.

“whee! Are you confused? Are you troubled? I know what you’re thinking, but that kind of thing makes no sense!”

“The dolls are just dolls, you have never discovered the real Herrscher of Domination!”

Everyone in the live broadcast room was also confused after hearing what the puppet said.

【Paimon: The true Herrscher of Domination? What does this mean?】

【Xingqiu: What were those dolls before?】

【Zhongli: From the literal meaning, there should be a ruler. Sun】

【Paimon: Ah…okay】
