Kalpas hadn't expected that Hessian wouldn't run away and even took the initiative to confront him. This truly surprised him.
But it didn't matter!
This wouldn't change his mind.
"It seems you've already prepared to accept death. Rest assured, I will definitely make you die in pain!"
Hearing his furious words.
The ones who got anxious first weren't the people at the scene, but the viewers in Kalpas's live stream.
"Don't be impulsive, Kalpas! Just cripple him—that's enough. You have to leave him alive; otherwise, where will we watch the rest of Honkai Impact 3rd?"
"Exactly, exactly! Give him a painful lesson, make him feel our pain—that's fine. You must leave him alive!"
"Brother, calm down! Our goal isn't to kill; it's to make him bring Teacher Himeko back."
"Holy shit, big bro, are you really this fierce? I thought you were just talking!"
"Don't do this; I'm really panicking. Honkai Impact 3rd won't end today, right?"
"Call the police! Everyone get ready to call the police. Let him stab the director a couple times first, then call for an ambulance—it should be in time."
"Yes, yes, yes! Wait until he stabs the director twice, then call the ambulance. We can't actually let him kill him."
"Brother, I studied medicine. I'll tell you where to stab for minor injuries—give him a lesson without it being fatal, and you won't go to jail."
"..."
However...
They never expected that Kalpas doesn't look at his own live stream chat at all.
In his eyes, there was only Hessian; the knife in his hand gleamed with cold light, poised as if ready to thrust at any moment.
But... he couldn't help subconsciously glancing at Kevin beside Hessian. For some reason, this man gave him a sense of threat, as if he could subdue him the instant he made a move.
Could it be... that this man was Hessian's confidence in facing him directly?
Hessian also spoke: "Oh? My friend, you say you want to kill me? Why is that?"
Speaking in a tone exactly like Otto's further provoked Kalpas; his brows furrowed, and he almost couldn't hold back.
Gritting his teeth, he said: "You killed her—you killed them."
Hessian calmly replied: "Are you referring to Fu Hua? Isn't she still alive? It was precisely her who guided Himeko to equip the Godslayer Armor, wasn't it? Or... do you mean Himeko? Can you be certain she's dead?"
"..."
At first glance, it seemed like what this guy said made sense.
No!
It wasn't like that.
Kalpas shook his head, thinking to himself how close—he almost got tricked by this person.
He pointed his knife at Hessian and viciously said: "No! It's not because of them—it's you! You knifed me first!"
"Oh? My friend, why do you say that?" Hessian still used Otto's tone: "Look, the knife is clearly in your hand, while mine are empty. How could I knife you?"
"Not that kind of knife!!" Kalpas roared.
Hessian patiently asked: "Then which knife are you talking about? Could it be the plot of Honkai Impact 3rd? Then you've wronged me, my friend. This drama has a healthy, sunny, positive, and uplifting plot."
"Positive your on mom's ass!" Kalpas finally found an outlet and cursed loudly.
The viewers in the live stream all shouted 'Well cursed!' 'So satisfying!' 'As expected of my Bro Kalpas!'
Hessian remained calm: "See, my friend, you're getting agitated again."
"Shut up! Die already." Kalpas charged forward with the knife.
Hessian immediately said: "Wait!"
"Regretting it now? Too late!"
Kalpas had no intention of stopping at all.
Hessian simply asked: "My friend, don't you want to know Himeko's outcome? Don't you want to know what happened to Fu Hua after getting headshot? Don't you want to know what Kiana will do when she wakes up and learns the truth?"
These words hit Kalpas all at once, instantly halting his charging steps.
It had to be said... these were indeed the things he wanted to know most right now!
He hesitated, steeling himself to say he didn't want to know...
Hessian spoke again: "Don't you want to know how Mei will react when she recovers from her severe injuries and learns Kiana is missing? Don't you want to know what Theresa will do since she failed to save Kiana? Don't you want to know why, despite all this pain, I still say this is a healthy, sunny, positive, and uplifting drama? My friend, do you really not want to know?"
"I..."
"I..."
"I don't..."
Kalpas wanted to say he didn't...
But... he couldn't get the words out.
Especially after Hessian asked these questions, images of those people involuntarily appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help thinking about how they would react upon learning the truth.
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became—the more he wanted to know.
He really did want to know!
Hessian revealed a subtle, imperceptible smile.
His goal was achieved. Next, he just needed to continue tricking him, add a bit more fuel, and wouldn't this Kalpas be completely won over by him?
He said seriously: "My friend, if you attack me, then no one will ever know these things. Their tragic fates will continue endlessly without stop, never reaching an end..."
He took two steps forward, coming right in front of Kalpas, and patted his shoulder: "While I will shape their future and put an end to this painful chapter of their destinies. Are you sure you want to knife me?"
Kalpas gripped the knife tightly.
Frankly, he really did want to—especially at such close range now.
He wasn't stupid.
Just as the live stream viewers thought, he could completely give Hessian minor injuries as a lesson, enough to vent his inner sorrow.
But... he couldn't. Besides his purpose in coming here, he also couldn't let down Elysia—it was her who gave him this address.
Hoo~
He took a deep breath and viciously said: "It'll be the same if I kill you after forcing the answers out of you."
Hessian gently pushed aside his knife-holding hand and said: "Why do that? My friend, you can completely join us at Fire Moth and watch from the side as I shape their future. Wouldn't that be better?"
