Fire Moth company.
Theresa asked in shock: "You want me to start a live stream right now and face the audience!??"
Hessian nodded: "Yes, right now the audience's anger can only be soothed by the world's cutest Theresa."
Theresa immediately said: "Don't think that saying something like that will make me agree to stream. I'm not a girl who's so easily fooled!"
Hessian thought for a moment and smiled: "Actually... this stream can help you gain a huge number of fans!"
Theresa's eyes instantly lit up.
She asked: "Then what should I say on the stream later?"
Hessian handed her the prepared script he had just written.
Theresa immediately indicated that she understood.
Sure enough!
Just as she expected, the moment the stream started, countless viewers flooded in, all cursing Hessian and Otto, wishing they could tear him to pieces.
Especially since Kalpas hadn't killed him and hadn't even given him any lesson—this left many people's anger with nowhere to vent.
Theresa was also frightened by the barrage in the stream.
She hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't worry. Anti-Entropy and I are already searching full force for clues about Kiana. As soon as we find her, we'll bring her back. As for Himeko... Himeko... we're also doing our best to search for her. She's only missing!"
This was all said according to Hessian's instructions.
Hearing that Himeko was only missing, the viewers in the stream felt slightly better—but only slightly.
Then they all sent barrage messages saying that if the director dared to kill off Himeko, they would bomb the company and kill him.
After calming down a bit.
Everyone also began asking about things in the Honkai world.
One person asked: "How's the situation now? The Herrscher of the Void appeared and caused such a severe disaster—has the aftermath been dealt with?"
Theresa shook her head, her tone heavy: "Because of the Herrscher of the Void's awakening, the world has fallen into a Great Honkai. During this time, survivors have been fleeing everywhere, seeking shelter. I've heard that a large number of survivors have fled there—it might become their refuge."
Someone immediately asked: "Could Kiana have gone to Soukai too?"
Theresa sighed: "There's no news of her yet. Schicksal is also searching for her, but they haven't found her either."
As she spoke, she played some footage for the viewers in the stream.
It showed islands sinking due to the Honkai outbreak, cities flooded by seawater backflow, people instantly annihilated, and survivors displaced.
These clips were prepared by Hessian for future streams right after finishing filming this episode.
His goal was simple: use streams to supplement the plot and world-building, while maintaining the drama's hype and making the audience feel more realistically that the Honkai world truly exists.
As these clips played, everyone's attention gradually shifted, but their hatred for Otto deepened even more—they became more aware of his madness!
At the same time.
Inside the company.
Kalpas had already made late-night snacks for everyone. Everyone's snacks were basically the same, except for Kevin's and Hessian's. Kevin's was specially made noodles for him.
Hessian's was rice topped with a big chicken drumstick, and there was even a pot of wine prepared dramatically—it looked just like a last meal before execution.
He knew Kalpas wanted nothing more than to knife him, so he didn't dare eat this food. He politely said: "I'm not hungry; I'll pass."
When the others saw it, they couldn't help but laugh.
Kevin, however, unceremoniously picked up his noodles and started slurping.
Kalpas said seriously: "Director He, don't worry. I didn't poison your food."
Hessian still refused: "No need. I never eat anything at night—it affects my scriptwriting inspiration."
He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I've prepared the script for tomorrow's filming. Take it home tonight and familiarize yourselves with it."
He handed the scripts to those who would appear in the next episode.
Kiana, Fu Hua, Mei, Himeko...
When Himeko saw the script handed to her, she was utterly shocked: "This is mine? I have a script too?"
Hessian smiled and said: "Of course. You're very important to this drama—how could you not have a script!"
All the actors looked at Himeko in surprise and joy.
Since she has scenes in the next episode, doesn't that prove she didn't die in the show?
This was fantastic news!
Kalpas even showed a rare smile: "Director He, you might not be used to these dishes. I'll go make you a new portion."
Good lord!!!
Hessian's heart skipped a beat—did this guy really tamper with his food?
Although he knew Kalpas wouldn't kill him, something like laxatives was very possible.
The others were also stunned.
Who would have thought that even after joining the company, Kalpas was still thinking about giving the director a lesson.
Being stared at by everyone, Kalpas felt a bit embarrassed and immediately said: "This was all suggested by my stream fans. But since Himeko still has scenes, everyone will definitely forgive you."
Hessian: "..."
No way!
This company is too dangerous.
He had to leave.
So he said: "Take the scripts home and read them. I have something at home, so I'll head back first."
He turned to leave.
Kalpas quickly grabbed him: "Director He, you absolutely can't go home."
Hessian's heart sank: "Wait, you're not really planning to tie me up in the company to write scripts, are you?"
Kalpas shook his head: "No, it's that a few of my fans are lying in wait outside your house. They said they're waiting for you to go home so they can sack you and beat you up."
Hessian: "..."
He was completely speechless.
What kind of viewers does this world have?
Did they have to be this real-life intense?
Now he couldn't even go home?
Hearing this, Kiana and the others couldn't hold back their laughter, covering their mouths as they said: "Hmph, serves you right for knifing people recklessly. Now look—you can't even go home~"
Durandal also patted his shoulder: "Director He, tone it down in future scripts. At the very least... don't act in a way that makes people hate you so much."
Everyone thought of the Otto Apocalypse he played and couldn't help gritting their teeth in hatred.
Hessian coughed: "Ahem, Otto being hated has nothing to do with me?"
Then he looked at Kevin: "Kevin, I'll just crash with you tonight."
Kevin decisively refused: "No can do. I'm going on a date with MEI tonight."
Uh...
Hessian looked around.
Thinking to himself whose place would be safer.
Finally, his gaze landed on Himeko: "Himeko, want to go for a drink later?"
