[Doesn't matter if you guys pull or not, I'm not pulling.]
[Yeah, screw it, I'll just let it rot. Who's afraid of who?]
Almost in unison, players declared the sa thing.
If Vill-V entered the banner pool, they absolutely wouldn't pull for her.
At that mont—
the screen shifted again to the familiar Fla-Chasers' archive.
The players' rage froze instantly at the sight. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovєlFіre
They realized what was about to happen.
That unavoidable thing.
Pardofelis' archive ca into focus.
Then— crack!
It shattered.
[Whoever ca up with this shattering effect is a "genius" (snarling).]
[Always the sa. Every ti I finally like a character, they get axed.]
[As everyone knows, miHoYo's writers have trauma issues.]
[This world is not beautiful at all (pulls out Herrscher of Corruption core).]
So players nearly laughed in disbelief at the devs' relentless cruelty.
They wanted nothing more than to slam "Healthy, Upbeat, Positive" right onto the writers' foreheads.
Ask them—how the hell do you have the confidence to say such words?
Look at this story—
is it healthy? Is it upbeat? Is it positive?
Of course, so tried to lighten the mood.
[Hey, look on the bright side. Did you notice? Kalpas' archive hasn't shattered yet! He's still fighting!]
[Only Kalpas, only Kalpas hasn't gone down yet—he's still holding the line, still outputting!]
[Kalpas, my Superman!!]
...
Bullet comnts continued to surge like tidal waves.
Elysia stared at the four already-shattered archives.
A foreboding chill filled her heart.
"Felis… everyone…"
She forced herself to highlight Pardofelis' archive.
Seeing the system prompt for gold coins in the corner—
she inhaled deeply, face frozen, and clicked to claim.
Afterward, she thought: Since I claid it, might as well check the Can Shop.
But the mont she entered, she saw Pardofelis' icon cracked there too.
Elysia: "???"
[Don't tell miHoYo's rewriting everything related to Pardofelis?!]
[Writers, if you can't think of cheerful content, go bite a lighter—but stop dropping this blackout angst on us.]
[Why do you have to do this to the kitty?!]
Elysia glanced at the scrolling chat.
Experience told her… it might really be true.
But her heart refused to believe it.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe miHoYo would go this far with the details."
She returned to the Realm, determined to find traces of Pardofelis.
Her first attempt, naturally—
jumping off a cliff.
Yet, standing at the edge, she hesitated.
Only with the hope of hearing Pardofelis' cheerful voice one last ti did she leap.
But… cold reality always crushes hope.
This ti, after i fell—
no concerned voice of Pardofelis ca.
The in-ga i simply sank into a long silence.
i: "..."
The oppressive atmosphere dealt a critical blow to the players.
Elysia: "..."
Deep breath. Deep breath.
She clenched her face and tried again.
Next attempt: opening treasure chests.
But once again, her hopes were dashed.
In fact, opening chests hurt even worse than falling.
Because now, when players discovered a chest—
instead of Pardofelis' bubbly voice—
they only heard i murmur to herself:
"A new chest… If Felis were still here, she'd be so excited."
Elysia: "..."
["Cardiac Arrest"]
["If Felis were still here"—this constant grave-digging… miHoYo, you're heartless!]
[I can't take it anymore! Why must they tornt us with details like this? Couldn't they at least leave us one small keepsake?]
As Elysia kept searching for "Felis"—
many players, after seeing i fall without hearing Felis,
after opening chests without hearing Felis,
suddenly realized why this hurt so much.
Because in the Realm, only Pardofelis had truly stayed with them all along.
They had grown used to her ever-present chatter, her cheerful, carefree persona…
And then—she was just gone.
That feeling—
if it had to be compared, it was like this:
Imagine if, in Hokuto's previous life with Genshin Impact,
Paimon suddenly died in the Traveler's arms one day.
They couldn't handle it.
...
Back in miHoYo's studio—
"Vill-V is terrible!"
Kiana jumped up, frowning, voicing her anger.
"That was just Vill-V's malevolent persona," Hokuto explained.
But Kiana only frowned deeper.
"She still killed Felis. That's the fact."
She shook her head.
"No matter what, I can't forgive her."
"Hm…"
Hokuto guessed: "So, Kiana, you're like everyone else—planning to boycott Vill-V's banner?"
"Yeah."
Kiana didn't hesitate:
"No matter how strong Vill-V is, I'll never pull for her. Not one crystal."
"Sa here."
Theresa crossed her arms, nodding firmly in agreent.
Imdiately, more chid in.
"No matter what, I can't forget what happened. Felis… she did nothing wrong."
"Even if it's just for the kitty, I'll never pull Vill-V."
"..."
"…Alright." Hokuto shrugged indifferently.
"It's up to you."
Rita, however, noticed his calm and asked curiously:
"Hokuto, aren't you worried? Won't Vill-V's banner tank in revenue?"
"Please. You'll all eat your words later… cough, I an—money's not an issue. We're fine even if one banner underperforms."
Hokuto swallowed back the truth just in ti, putting on the airs of a man unbothered by profit.
"If you keep being this reckless, it won't be good for the company's long-term growth," Rita warned dutifully.
"Relax, relax. Just this once."
Hokuto waved it off.
The others believed him.
Only i, who knew more, stood silent at the side.
She looked at Hokuto's smiling face for a long ti, almost speaking—
before footsteps cut in.
Tap tap tap~~
Soone entered miHoYo.
"Hokuto! Where is he?!"
"???"
...
Back in Elysia's livestream—
She had scoured the Realm, even diving into unfinished side quests.
But even there, Felis was gone.
No—worse than gone.
Every ti i encountered sothing tied to Felis, she'd say sothing in rembrance.
Elysia's journey to "find Felis" only led to repeated heartbreak.
Cut down once, twice, thrice… until she felt numb.
[This writer is insane. They even rewrote the side quests.]
[So Felis is truly erased from the Realm, huh?]
[Forget it. Destroy everything, miHoYo! If you're so bold, delete the whole Realm!!]
Clearly, not just Elysia—
the viewers too were numbed by despair.
No matter how many ways they tried to find "Felis"—
she was gone.
Damn it.
When it ca to details, miHoYo really was unmatched.
Finally, after exhausting every attempt,
Elysia gave up searching.
She turned back to the main story.
But just as she tapped to enter—
an unexpected ssage appeared.
"Honkai Impact 3rd is under ergency maintenance. One hour."
"What the heck?"
