Exalting Sanctum Square. Several new large screens had been installed here. It had already become one of the iconic spots for the Honkai: Star Rail gaming culture on Xianzhou Luofu. At this moment. Quite a few players had gathered here. On the screens. Alongside the Interstellar Peace News coverage about Duke Inferno, the PV for A Night of Ever-Flame: Scene 33 was also playing. The stark contrast between the two created a sense of dark humor! It even attracted some players wearing masks, suspected to be Masked Fools. On the central screen. The content from Yu Ling's official account was displayed. Now, more than half of the players online suspected that Yu Ling was involved in the Duke's death, and they were actively leaving comments. Many players were also curious about how Yu Ling would respond to this incident. If Yu Ling were to reply, the notification would appear here first. And it would be publicly broadcast to all the players in the square. In a corner of the square. Lin Yu and Robin naturally witnessed the entire event unfold. "I think this matter has nothing to do with Yu Ling..." Robin said thoughtfully, "Because he's the game's developer. He can do anything within the game." "Even if Duke Inferno deliberately went against the game's narrative, it wouldn't be worth Yu Ling personally intervening." "I've dealt with Yu Ling before, and from his music, I can tell he's definitely not that kind of narrow-minded person." Lin Yu smiled faintly. It felt quite nice to hear someone praise him behind his back. "Yu Ling will probably give a clear explanation." "And knowing his style, he'll likely release something that will shock everyone." Robin pursed her lips. She smiled in agreement. "You're right." "Ever since I first heard about Honkai: Star Rail, I've been hearing astonishing stories about Yu Ling every day." "Not just me, even those 'big shots' must be numb to it by now!" Lin Yu, meanwhile, opened his system. And sent the content he had prepared. At the same time. A bonus video was attached! Look at the big screen. It's probably going to get lively here soon. One minute later. "Ding dong—" A new message notification sound rang out in the square. This was originally the most ordinary message alert tone. But at this moment. It startled everyone! Everyone stopped what they were doing. Simultaneously, they turned their gaze to the main screen! Robin also put down her phone. With a serious expression, she looked at the message on the screen. "Ahhhhh!!!" "Yu Ling responded!!" "Holy crap! Let's see what's going on!" "Could it really be Yu Ling who did it!?" [I'm sure everyone is very curious about the details of the attack on Duke Inferno. Here, I can tell everyone very clearly—] [This matter is not as simple as it seems.] [Of course, it can also be very simple.] [In the upcoming 2.0 version, the Penacony storyline will hold the answers you seek.] [Additionally, I deeply regret the incident involving Duke Inferno.] [Here, I present the latest OP—"Sleepless Night."] The message was brief. Yet it left everyone momentarily stunned. "Holy crap! Feels like there's a ton of information here!" "Jokes aside, no one actually thinks Yu Ling did this, right?" "Are you kidding? A mere Annihilation Gang doesn't warrant Yu Ling's personal involvement!" "However, it's clear that Yu Ling knows exactly how Duke Inferno died." "Maybe Yu Ling was calmly watching from the stars when the Duke died. That's the kind of presence Yu Ling should have!" "Damn it, why not just tell us directly? Hiding it in the 2.0 storyline!" "When's the update coming? I can't stand this 1.0 version for another second!" "By the way, what's this OP about? Is no one else curious about this?" After a heated discussion. The attached video was opened. At this moment. People hadn't yet realized the gravity of the situation. Most thought. This was just a video showcasing the map and music quality of Honkai: Star Rail. Previous works like Wildfire and Samudrartha had already been awe-inspiring, widely celebrated across the universe. It seemed unlikely that Yu Ling would create new musical content so soon. They watched with an attitude of appreciation and nostalgia. All screens briefly went dark. Only the ambient lights in the square remained lit. As if the moment before a grand performance. Then. A lively and uplifting whistle sounded. The video began to play. A man adjusted the brim of his hat... With a graceful turn. He flipped the hem of his coat. In his other hand, he tossed a chip. Spotlights lit up! Illuminating two separate areas. The man's figure fully appeared on the screen. The crowd immediately erupted with confusion. "Whoa! Who's that?" "A character we've never seen in the game before!" "I know him! He's a high-ranking executive at the Interastral Peace Corporation! His name is Aventurine!" "Huh?" "Is this video sponsored by the company?" Soon. The crowd burst into cheers. Because. The person illuminated by the other spotlight. Was none other than the protagonist of Honkai: Star Rail, the Trailblazer! Then. The Trailblazer and Aventurine began to dance to the rhythm of the music. Using both hands and feet! Their movements were concise yet powerful! Extremely captivating! On the scene. Everyone was stunned! Frozen in place. Mouths agape! No one had expected. The video to take such a turn! However. The real bombshell was just beginning. The prelude had ended. The main event was starting! "Outside the car window, the night is ablaze with color~" The scene that followed. A sleek sports car was driving along a magnificent runway. And the people on the train. Caught everyone completely off guard! They could hardly believe their eyes! It was none other than the renowned Halovian singer—Robin! And. Her brother, Sunday! Both were seated in the car. Sunday had one hand propping up his head, seemingly listless. While Robin was smiling. Holding a cocktail in her hand. She gently raised her glass to the camera! As if savoring this delightful moment! "???" "!!!" "Huh???" "By the Thousand-Faced God, what am I seeing! It's Miss Robin!" "Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see Robin in Yu Ling's video!?" "Double fandom ecstasy!!" "My favorite episode!" "Yu Ling, aren't you supposed to be making games? Why are you becoming a singer now?" "This isn't some in-game appreciation video at all, it's clearly a Penacony version trailer released by Yu Ling!"
