Honkai Star Rail: Developing Mobile Games on Xianzhou Chapter 199 - 198: Who Killed Duke Inferno? Yu Ling, Take th

After the live broadcast by Interastral Peace News.

The death of Duke Inferno caused a huge sensation across the universe!

At Herta space station.

A group of researchers and Asta sat in a spacious conference room.

The screen was playing the entire coverage from Interastral Peace News.

After the live broadcast.

Interastral Peace Corporation sent multiple experts for verification.

Finally reaching a clear conclusion—

Duke Inferno is really dead!

At this mont.

Asta and the researchers were deep in thought.

After an unknown period.

Asta let out a long sigh.

She spoke, "So... we were too late?"

"We thought Duke Inferno was extrely arrogant, not putting any of us in his eyes."

"But it turns out he died prematurely on his own?"

The researchers also lanted, "In the recent version of Honkai: Star Rail, Duke Inferno had a strong presence, seemingly set to beco a major boss... yet he died so abruptly?"

"In that scene from A Night of Ever-Fla: Scene 33, the grandeur Duke Inferno and his descendants created was so impressive! But now... sigh..."

"We were all prepared for a desperate battle, gathering so many advanced weapons from our space station, only for the big boss to fall prematurely."

"Honestly, it's kind of... Elation!"

A staff mber raised their hand and asked, "Miss Asta, can we consider this a victory?"

Asta pondered for a mont.

Then nodded.

"After all, the purpose of this battle was to confront Duke Inferno. Although the outco was unexpected, it still counts as a victory for our space station."

Hearing this, a few staff mbers let out brief cheers.

But the excitent wasn't as intense as one might expect.

If Duke Inferno had been defeated after a hard-fought battle with the space station's assistance, it would've felt more satisfying.

At least there would've been a sense of participation!

Now, it all feels a bit... anticlimactic.

It's hard to force a celebration.

Moreover, this raises another question—

How did Duke Inferno die?

At that mont, a new interstellar peace news alert appeared on the split screen in the eting room.

Asta imdiately switched it to the main screen.

The anchor's voice echoed: "...After our technical team conducted sampling and investigation at the Ever-Fla Manor..."

"We have sufficient reason to conclude—"

"Duke Inferno died following an attack!"

As soon as the conclusion was announced, the eting room erupted in murmurs!

Although this result was sowhat expected, hearing it confird still sent a shock through everyone.

A new question arose—

Who killed Duke Inferno?

...

anwhile, in Little Gui's livestream.

After watching the news, Guinaifen was so stunned she couldn't close her mouth for a while.

"Duke Inferno died from an attack!?"

She had never paid much attention to cosmic affairs before.

It all felt too distant.

She'd rather worry about what to have for dinner than care about such impractical things.

But after playing Honkai: Star Rail, that sense of Distance had shrunk dramatically!

It felt as if she had beco one of the Naless aboard the Astral Express, carrying the will to Trailblaze through the universe, station by station.

Besides, Duke Inferno was highly relevant to the ga's storyline, so she naturally paid close attention.

After calming down, Guinaifen decided to rewatch A Night of Ever-Fla: Scene 33.

But as soon as she opened the video...

The tone of the bullet comnts has completely changed!

Previously, players were comnting on how Duke Inferno was too stylish, too arrogant, or too overbearing.

Now.

It's all turned into a sea of mourning ssages!

...

""His voice and image remain with us""

"Rest in peace."

"In mory of the Duke!"

"Precious footage from his lifeti."

"Who would have thought that Duke Inferno would be the first to arrive in Penacony, albeit in the form of fragnts (Relics)."

"I thought this PV was a declaration of war, but it turned out to be his last words."

"Duke Inferno: Kids, this isn't funny."

"Stop looking for Destruction, Duke. If you seek Aha, you might at least beco an Emanator."

...

Guinaifen was utterly stunned.

If you didn't know better.

You'd think this was a funeral hall!

Why are all the bullet comnts filled with eulogies!

"What on earth is going on!"

"What will happen to the storyline in Penacony now?"

"Will Duke Inferno still make an appearance in Penacony?"

"Will Yu Ling modify the plot because of what happened in real life?"

As she spoke.

Guinaifen's eyes lit up.

She started stirring things up!

"Can Duke Inferno win the resurrection match in Penacony?"

"A grand docuntary, "The Legend of Duke Inferno", Little Gui will continue to bring you updates!"

...

Penacony.

Hotel Lobby.

At this mont.

Neither tourists nor staff were in the mood to carry out their usual tasks.

Everyone gathered in small groups.

Discussing the recent attack on Duke Inferno!

It felt less like a hotel lobby.

And more like a gathering of the universe's greatest detectives!

"Duke Inferno t a tragic end, and his heirs are nowhere to be found. I suspect his death is related to his heirs…"

"I think it was that Constance from The Dahlia! You can tell from the PV, she's full of betrayal vibes!"

"Use your brain, friend! Why would Duke Inferno's heirs betray him?"

"And judging from the scene, the killer used an almost miraculous thod to slay Duke Inferno, which ans the killer's strength far exceeds normal logic!"

"...Is it possible that Yu Ling was behind it?"

"After all, Yu Ling had already implented Duke Inferno's Relic in the ga while he was still alive!"

"Holy crap?"

"Genius! Case solved!"

"Yu Ling is too much! To make Duke Inferno's Relic plausible, he resorted to such cruel ans to kill him!"

"May Duke Inferno's spirit bless with a god-tier double crit pursuit set!"

...

Xianzhou Luofu.

Exalting Sanctum.

Nurous players gathered at the Exalting Sanctum square, excitedly discussing the events surrounding Duke Inferno.

"If you think about it, this really could be the case!"

"If it's Yu Ling, he could indeed have killed Duke Inferno in such a miraculous way!"

"Yu Ling is just too OP, isn't he?"

"From a feng shui perspective, Yu Ling preemptively implenting Duke Inferno's Relic in the ga was like severing his lifeline. His death was already destined."

"Case closed! Yu Ling jinxed Duke Inferno!"

"It's no use just talking here. Let's go directly to Yu Ling's official account and tag him!"

"Exactly!"

"Yu Ling, co out and take responsibility!"

"Across the entire universe, there are only a handful of people capable of such a feat, and those big shots have no direct connection with Duke Inferno. But Yu Ling... you're not one of them!"

Soon.

The Interstellar Peace News Network, breaking news sites of various planets, and the Cosmic Gaming Forum...

All pointed the bla for this attack at Yu Ling!

Under Yu Ling's official account.

Countless players had already flocked to leave comnts!

In just half a day.

The comnt section was completely overrun!

"Who killed Duke Inferno? Yu Ling, co out and take the bla!"

"Yu Ling, just admit it already!"

"Though it's not exactly honorable, since Duke Inferno is a universal enemy, killing him could be seen as doing the world a favor."

"I'm siding with Yu Ling on this one!"

"Even if it's Yu Ling, he can't just execute soone at will. He must be punished—at least make him release a self-selectable 5-star character!"

"Your scheming is so obvious it's hitting in the face!"

"???"

"Dr. Ratio: Are you thinking about ?"

"That day, Yu Ling found Duke Inferno and showed him the PV for A Night of Ever-Fla: Scene 33. The Duke asked, 'You've made such a stunning promotional video for our Ever-Fla Manor. What do you need in return?' Yu Ling replied, 'Your life, Your Grace.'"
