This villain is too popular.

Chapter 255 The First Signs of a Little Secret

As the movie screen lights up again, the first thing that catches the eye is Ruri Kagami sitting cross-legged on the roof of the carriage.

She closed her eyes, gripped her ankles with both hands, and swayed her head gently with the movement of the train.

Her pale purple hair was brushed against her cheeks by the sea breeze, and she looked like she was sleeping soundly, with even her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was about to fall over and roll away at any moment.

But in stark contrast to her leisurely demeanor were the star beasts standing before Jing Liuli.

The pale purple dream butterflies fluttering around her were constantly spraying phosphorus powder onto the star beasts in the sea.

The moment the phosphorus powder touched the star beast, the originally ferocious monster suddenly began to tremble.

Some of the octopus-like creatures covered their eyes with their tentacles and spun around in place.

Some of the shark-like creatures frantically crashed into the reefs, knocking themselves unconscious.

Some of the sea serpents and star beasts were tearing each other apart, creating a chaotic scene resembling a fight in a market.

Even more outrageous, various fantastical dream-like creations appeared around the mirror glass.

Giant winged scissors snipped away the tentacles.

The black tears shed by the weeping puppet can corrode its scales.

Countless eyes emerged from the shadows, staring intently at the star beasts, froze in fear.

Therefore, although Jing Liuli appears to be alone in the scene, she single-handedly stopped a large number of star beasts.

This prevented these star beasts from even getting close to the carriage.

This was the first time I had seen Jing Liuli, now grown up, take action.

Therefore, many viewers' memories of her are still based on the image of the innocent and harmless girl from the first season.

However, in the theatrical version, Jing Liuli reveals her true strength.

Viewers from other dimensions realized that the purple lazy fish they remembered who only slept and slacked off had unknowingly grown into a terrifying 'King of Lazy Fish'!
'Li Bao: Slacking off at work and then going all out after get off work—that's what it means to be a winner in life!'

'What's with all this talk of seven stars and eight stars, and seven or eight lines? It's not even as good as our Li Bao lying there sleeping! (doge)'

'Taking this much slacking off is an art! I suggest including it in the "Star Envoy Cultivation Manual"'

This is a real-life version of "I Love Slaying Beasts in My Dreams"!

As the last Star Beast dies at the hands of Jing Liuli, the scene in the movie switches to Chen Xing.

Unlike the leisurely pace of Jing Liuli, the battle on Chenxing was like a magnificent art form, a blend of death and fireworks.

With the support of the ultra-high-definition visuals of the theatrical version, Chen Xing is surrounded by crimson flames, and the demon sword in his hand grows to twenty meters long with the support of star energy. Every swing brings out a rain of fire, and the sea surface is sizzling and leaving behind trails of burning fire.

At the same time, the star beasts around her seemed to be possessed, rushing towards her recklessly.

Even though their companions had just been burned to a crisp a second ago, the next second some recklessly rushed forward, a scene straight out of moths to a flame.

Dust Star stood in mid-air, his brown hair glowing red in the flames, a slight smile playing on his lips. In the instant the blade flashed, swarms of star beasts turned to ashes.

She's truly cool, and she's truly crazy.

Just as Chen Xing was about to go too far, Tian Dao suddenly appeared and easily grasped the hilt of Chen Xing's knife, stopping her from continuing her crazy actions.

Before Tiandao could finish speaking, Chenxing suddenly grabbed his wrist, her fingertips deftly slipping between his fingers, and they intertwined.

She looked up at the Heavenly Dao, her crimson pupils gleaming with an inexplicable light in the firelight.

Seeing this, the Tianxing Party members at station 13 were completely excited.

'Ahhh, the Tianxing Party members are celebrating the New Year! This was Xingjie's proactive attack!'

'Tendou looks so cute when he's stunned! Where did his usual composure go?'

'Meow Meow is still figuring it out, but Sister Xing has already gotten to A!'

'This is the right way to combine forces! Lock it in! It has to be locked in!' But before the Tianxing Party could be happy for long, a purple 'missile' suddenly flew from the front of the car.

I will never tolerate such acts of burglary!

In the scene, Jing Liuli rides the Dream Pillow straight into the two of them, with a string of pink phosphorescent powder trailing behind the pillow. It precisely weaves between the two, forcefully separating their clasped hands.

Watching the movie version, I see Kagami Ruri deliberately sticking out her tongue and acting cute, saying that her Dream Pillow is out of control.

The Star Party is utterly 'furious'!

'Bounty! Whoever drags this purple salted fish out and beats it up!'

'Out of control? You're kidding me! (Angry!)'

'Liuli, if you keep doing this, I'm going to support the Xingli shipper (just kidding)'

'If it weren't for Liuli constantly causing trouble, I feel that the marriage between Tiandao and Xingxing would have been finalized long ago!'

Amid the anger of the Tianxing Party, the scene from a month ago finally froze on the three of them returning to the carriage, with Chenxing glaring at Jing Liuli, Jing Liuli pretending not to see, and Tiandao looking helpless.

The warm yellow light of the carriage shone on them, creating a scene as cozy and comforting as a soothing oil painting.

With the scenes from a month ago now over, the movie's plot shifts back to the train control room where Sora and the others are in reality.

Recalling the scene just now, Liu Ma couldn't help but say, "So Liuli was this good at fighting before? I remember her always sleeping with a pillow in her arms."

"Sister Liuli has always been very strong."

Chen Kong subconsciously replied, his tone tinged with nostalgia.

If it weren't for...

Chen Kong was halfway through his sentence when he caught a glimpse of Vivian beside him out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly changed his mind.

"If she hadn't disliked cultivation, her strength might already be on par with my sister's."

Although Chen Kong's tone didn't change much, what he said was very natural.

But Vivian keenly noticed the sudden stiffness in his shoulders and the fleeting complex emotions in his eyes.

It was an expression mixed with guilt and hesitation, one that shouldn't have appeared in Chen Kong's eyes.

Vivian frowned and tapped her fingertips lightly on the smart bracelet.

Enhanced by the 'Ten Thousand Machines Fire Seed', she can detect the most subtle physiological fluctuations of living beings.

When Chen Kong mentioned 'back then', not only did his heart rate increase significantly, but his pupils also contracted for about 0.3 seconds, which clearly indicated that he was hiding something.

Is it related to me?

Vivian looked at Chen Kong's profile as he turned towards the projection screen, and a question mark quietly appeared in her mind.

Some viewers, upon seeing this scene, immediately remembered something and quickly paused the movie to go back and watch the end of the first season.

Through careful investigation, they quickly found clues.

'Something's not right. I have a feeling there's something between Lao Kong and Vivian, because at the end of the first season, Liu Li and Chen Kong were seen together in the base's ventilation ducts.'

'William's death...could it be related to the prison vacancy? Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to risk his life to save Vivian in season two!'

'This is terrifying to think about!'

Amidst the speculation of the dimensional viewers, they quickly discovered the little secret hidden between Chen Kong and Vivian.

However, only a minority of people notice these things, or rather, care about them.

As the steam train departs from the Sea of ​​Crimson Mist, a city built on the sea and shrouded in mist appears in the center of the theatrical version's screen.
