[Little Gui's Livestream]
"Ahhh..."
"After watching 'Chasing Stars with Arrows,' I can't wait to see the showdown between Feixiao and Hoolay!"
"Honkai: Star Rail, launch!"
Little Gui was full of anticipation!
Then the main storyline continued.
A line of text appeared on the black screen.
[One hour before the Martial Ceremony, Exalting Sanctum]
"Exalting Sanctum?"
"Now it should be back to Jiaoqiu's perspective."
"Feixiao has already sent a Borisin to guide the way, so the Xianzhou and the Borisin are about to face off!"
However.
After the subtitles.
The scene that appeared surprised her.
"Please... save... me..."
"I still want to live... doctor..."
Weak voices echoed.
These,
came from the wounded.
This seemed to be someone's memory.
"Jiaoqiu, quickly find a medical device to give that child acupuncture! Hurry!" The doctor's voice rang out.
"I... I understand, how's the thread?"
As Jiaoqiu's voice sounded.
Color appeared in the scene.
Jiaoqiu was standing in front of an operating table.
He looked younger than he does now.
On his face,
was a deep look of concern.
And lying on the operating table.
Was a white-haired foxian.
"The Borisin's beast ships have landed on Fanghu... it won't be long before this place is breached too."
Jiaoqiu continued to ask: "What about General Yueyu... any news from her? I'm her doctor, I should be by her side at this time."
As soon as he said this.
Some players in the livestream already realized what was going on.
...
"Fanghu Xianzhou!"
"The third Denizens of Abundance War..."
"Back then, Jiaoqiu was still serving as a military doctor on the front lines."
"He looked quite refined."
"I dread the sudden surge of memories..."
"Turns out Jiaoqiu had served as a medical advisor to two generals of Yaoging."
"The one lying on the operating table couldn't be Feixiao, could it? That profile looks so much like her!"
...
"The general asked me to tell you, she's not coming back. She must hold the Kan Yun Mirror."
The voice of the cloud rider carried a hint of suppressed grief,
"The general wants you... to save that child. She fought like a madwoman, just to bring all of us back here!"
"I've never seen such a terrifying way of fighting... her body... it felt like she was being stretched to her limits... as if..."
"The patient's blood pressure is dropping fast. Do you hear me, Jiaoqiu!"
"I hear you loud and clear... prepare a dose of Dian Zhi Powder. We must start the surgery now!"
Jiaoqiu clenched his teeth, his tone resolute,
"I... will definitely bring her back!"
The screen darkened once more.
This time.
It was Hoolay's voice that rang out.
"...So this is the reason you're so determined to uncover the secret from me? Can you hear me, Jiaoqiu?"
"I hear you, I hear you clearly." Jiaoqiu's voice sounded weak.
And Hoolay continued, "In the great battle at Fanghu Xianzhou thirty years ago, she saved all of you, but at the brink of death, she unexpectedly discovered the Borisin blood flowing within her."
"Mok Tok told me she was a war slave who escaped from the Eclipse Moon hunting pack. What a strange twist of fate, she and I hail from the same tribe."
Beside him, Mok Tok gnashed his teeth, "So that's why. No wonder the power, decisiveness, and cruelty that foxian displayed in battle... so astonishing! It was all thanks to her Borisin blood. A mongrel... a despicable mongrel general."
...
"What's wrong with having Borisin blood? Sister Feixiao will always be my great victory leader! I will always believe in her!"
"Dare to insult our general, seeking death!"
"A Borisin brat like Mok Tok would be crushed by the Sky Strike General with a single finger on the battlefield."
"I just love seeing him in a frenzy!"
"That's called impotent rage."
"Mok Tok has such a narrow perspective."
...
Unlike Mok Tok.
Hoolay actually had a slight upward curve to his lips.
A thunderous laugh erupted!
"And she used the gift within her bloodline to destroy the Borisin."
"Lunar Frenzy, the blessing of the wolf, the curse of the fox. For the Borisin, having their bodies torn apart by Lunar Frenzy in battle, transforming into beasts... is the ultimate joy. But for you foxians with limited self-healing, it is a death sentence."
"With the burning rage surging through her veins, this foxian general could no longer distinguish friend from foe, fighting endlessly. The wounds that bloomed on her body were not from the enemy's weapons but from the immense power she could not bear. One day, she will die as a monster, torn apart."
"And to repay her life-saving grace, you intend to do everything in your power to challenge this unsolvable riddle."
...
"It hasn't been long since the prison break, and Hoolay has already seen through the grudge between Jiaoqiu and Feixiao."
"He also knows the secret of Lunar Frenzy that Feixiao carries."
"Spicy!"
"He will definitely use this during the final showdown."
"Hoolay still has a Blood Moon within him. Feixiao must be extremely careful of that!"
"Blood Moon, Lunar Frenzy? Oh no!"
"Hoolay's chances of winning suddenly started to rise."
...
And at that moment.
The weakened Jiaoqiu suddenly retorted:
"Hoolay... do you know what the most tragic thing is for a healer?"
"All along, I've exhausted everything I've learned to reclaim the lives of those who rush to their deaths from monsters like you. I collapsed in exhaustion, my hands trembling, thinking that everything I did had meaning..."
"But they rushed back to the battlefield once more. And so, I heard of their deaths. They died under your claws, in the flames of crashing Starskiffs, under the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow..."
"I feel like a futile fool, fishing a fish called life from the cauldron of death—only to watch it struggle and leap back into the boiling broth."
"I ask myself, what drives them to rush to their deaths again after healing? Why not cherish the hard-won life? It leaves me feeling Confounding, empty..."
At this moment, Jiaoqiu.
Felt a profound sense of "the greatest sorrow is the death of the heart."
Hoolay also said, "Hehe... I smell a deep, bone-chilling despair in you."
...
"Jiaoqiu: I can't do anything!"
"Listening to this, it feels like you're about to fall into Nihility."
"No wonder Jiaoqiu's Path in Honkai: Star Rail is Nihility..."
"Fighting to end fighting, sacrificing to end sacrifice."
"Because they are carrying the weight for our peaceful and beautiful lives!"
"Jiaoqiu's state is really one misstep away from becoming a Self-Annihilator and joining Acheron as a colleague. Right now, he's barely being held together by Feixiao..."
"Got it, Jiaoqiu and Acheron on the same team can unleash their full potential."
