Zhongli's remix had already left the people of the Seven Nations mentally scarred.
Some found it absurdly funny, others said it burned their eyes, and many… would never recover.
But Bai Hao was a kind man — he couldn't just leave them traumatized like that.
So, he uploaded the original version of the video.
Of course, kind people still have to make a living, so it was… a paid download.
Trial broadcast begins.
Title:Klee: Da-Da-Da!
The scene opened once again before the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, the same cheerful melody playing.
Klee swayed side to side, tilted her head, and asked:
"Hmm? Are you here to play with Klee?"
She poked her chin thoughtfully.
"Then… you'll be lookout, okay?"
Turning around, she slung her bomb bag over her shoulder, her voice soft and sugary.
"If you see Acting Grand Master Jean, tell me right away, okay?"
Then, hop hop hop, down the stairs she went, grinning from ear to ear.
"(^▽^) Hehe~ Let's gooo!"
Klee leapt into the air, hands raised high, shining brighter than the sun itself.
The background faded to a white splash screen—
four-leaf clovers burst into bloom, colors sparkling like fireworks.
Two tags appeared beside her:
Name:Klee!
Codename:The Runaway Sun!
And a smaller line beneath read:
Frequent guest of the Knights of Favonius Confinement Room — Mondstadt's Demolition Expert!
Then followed a fast-cut montage—
Klee setting forests ablaze, fishing with bombs at Starfell Lake, being dragged off by Jean…
released again, only to resume "mountain relocation projects" on local hilichurls.
Finally, under the golden autumn sunset, she tossed out a field of bouncing bombs—
a sea of fire blooming behind her,
her childish smile radiant and pure against the falling dusk.
The screen faded to black.
Her voice echoed softly:
"Next time, let's go bomb fish at Starfell Lake together!"
End of video.
[Eula]: Finally, a video that's actually normal.
[Klee]: Waaah! I really got featured this time! (excited.jpg)
[Dori]: As expected of Alice's daughter—kawaii desu~! (giggles)
[Yunjin]: How does she smile so sweetly while tossing that many bombs?!
[Thoma]: Seriously! That kid's terrifying!
[Candace]: Arson and demolition, and you only lock her up for a few days? Mondstadt truly is the land of freedom!
[Albedo]: Thankfully, her destructive potential is still less than one percent of Alice's.
[Ayaka Kamisato]: She's Alice's daughter? Ah, that explains everything. (hides smile behind fan)
[Ningguang]: My sympathies. @Jean
[Kuki Shinobu]: I feel your pain. @Jean
[Jean]: Thank you… (forces tired smile)
Meanwhile, in the public livestream, everyone was praising the sun.
[Bolai]: Ah! My eyes and heart—healed!
[Dina Zedai]: I envy her brightness. That smile could cure depression. (sighs softly)
[Ruhawi]: "Runaway Sun" — a title well-earned.
[Six-Fingered Joseph]: Wait… the red girl I saw on Windrise Hills was Klee?!
[Jurisu]: Her smile's so healing—I wish she were my daughter!
[Mao Caigong]: Don't you dare trick me into wanting kids again!
[Tarik]: I love Klee! Praise the Sun! Long live the Scarlet King!
[Tide]: Draw your blade! Klee is my wife!
[Timaeus]: …You guys do realize Alice will literally murder you, right? (facepalm.jpg)
[Albedo]: Mm. Be confident, Timaeus—she absolutely will.
Then, the next quiz segment began.
[Ding! Question: What is the true identity of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's consultant, Zhongli?]
A. Secret owner of the "Heyu Tea House"
B. Grandfather of Mondstadt's outrider, Amber
C. 76th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao's biological father
D. The Rock King Emperor, Morax
[Paimon]: Ugh, here we go again—the cursed quiz segment!
[Sayu]: I swear, I'm not answering this one! (angry puffball mode)
[Xingqiu]: Rule out D first!
[Keqing]: Yeah, no sane person would pick that one.
[Itto]: Exactly! Even I know the Geo Archon just died at noon! (hands on hips proudly)
[Kuki Shinobu]: Boss, that's… not really something to brag about. (facepalm.jpg)
[Yelan]: I run the Heyu Tea House—so scratch option A. (arms crossed)
[Hu Tao]: My dad isn't Zhongli, okay?! Don't pick that one!
[Venti]: Ehe~ a freebie question, huh?
[Paimon]: You know the answer, bard? @Venti
[Lumine]: Quick, share it! We've been through life and death together! @Venti
[Thoma]: Wait—Zhongli's Amber's grandpa?
[Amber]: Definitely not! (waves hands frantically)
[Eula]: I can confirm that.
[Gorou]: Weird… all four answers sound wrong this time.
[Mona]: You're not trolling again, are you?! @The Mishearing Maniac
[The Mishearing Maniac]: (:з」∠)
[Fischl]: O Abyssal Gem of Secrets, I, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, command thee—reveal the truth behind illusion and reflection!
[Itto]: Screw it, I'll just pick one at random!
A minute later, everyone locked in their answers.

The world fell silent for a second—
then the chat exploded.
The consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor…
was none other than the Geo Archon himself.
The "Runaway Sun" had just exposed a god.
