The interactions between people are nothing more than first impressions, then communication and helping each other, and after that various intersections will arise and they become inseparable.

Games are one of the easiest ways to promote relationships, and are even more effective for people who have been lonely for a long time and need companions. They only need to cooperate with each other and make Hei Xi familiar with them to quickly resolve the rift between them and prevent the Herrscher from continuing to sow discord.

"Qiana, I have some bad news to tell you," Chang Mei walked into the meeting room, "You have been slandered."

"Spreading rumors?" Pan Yue asked in confusion, "What rumors are you spreading about me?"

"Today, when you were investigating the Salt Lake City mecha out-of-control incident, someone filmed you controlling a Honkai Beast," Chang Mei scrolled through several videos on a certain short video app on his phone. "Also, when you were investigating the Honkai Beast sculpture exhibition, someone recorded a conversation that was unfavorable to us out of context. And when you were tracking down the councilman, you took out the Herrscher Core Crystal from the puppet."

"These videos are now going viral online. The related topics are all about the Herrscher losing control, manipulating Honkai beasts and mechas to disrupt order, causing panic among many people. Even Anti-Entropy has been questioned."

"This is clearly a frame-up." Shenxue said with a worried look.

"What is the public's opinion now?" Mei asked.

"Public opinion is divided into two sides. On one side, the people who were saved by Kiana explained for her, thinking that the video was too one-sided and still believed that Kiana was a righteous Valkyrie," Chang Mei said. "On the other side, of course, rumors spread that Kiana, who possessed the power of a multi-core Herrscher, was too dangerous and suspected that she could lose control at any time and become the second Sirin. There were even rumors that a Herrscher should not be the Valkyrie of destiny and should... be kept under careful supervision."

"This is too much... How could these people do this!" Several girls said indignantly, "Kiana has never hurt anyone! She has been collecting Herrscher cores from all over the world to prevent new Honkai outbreaks."

Pan Yue put away his previous relaxed and playful expression and looked cold.

This was not the first time that she had been slandered by others, but it was the first time that she had been subjected to such large-scale rumors and cyber violence for no apparent reason.

"They are too scared, and are deliberately led by someone with ulterior motives to mindlessly attack the forces protecting themselves. First it was me, then Anti-Entropy, and maybe they will continue to use this method to defeat Destiny and the World Serpent." Pan Yue analyzed calmly.

She only appeared calm on the surface, but she still felt uneasy inside.

She had been in this kind of situation before, where she was slandered and framed, but she had no way to explain herself clearly - none of her relatives and friends were willing to support her or believe in her, and they were already blessed if they didn't stab her in the back.

Everyone is saying that she is wrong, that she is a bad girl, attributing all the negativity to her, and giving her the worst and most adverse personality. It is obvious at a glance that it is not her fault, and it is obvious that if you get along with her for a few days, you will know that she is not the "white lotus", "green tea" or "scumbag" as others say.

She knew this herself, but no one was willing to believe her. She even began to doubt herself because of what others said. Was there really something wrong with her way of dealing with people? Or was she really a bad guy who didn't deserve a good life?

Now that this situation has come back, it is a second blow to the trauma deep in her heart.

"Kiana, I believe you." Shenxue held Panyue's hand and interlocked their fingers.

"We will help you, don't worry." Bronya said.

Several girls gathered around and tried to comfort Panyue one by one.

"People are like this. If someone exaggerates something they don't understand, it can easily become an invisible blade that stabs the person the controller wants to destroy," Mei stepped forward to comfort him. "Kiana, you saved me before, now it's my turn to protect you."

"Thank you...everyone..." Pan Yue hugged Mei, who was now much more determined and confident than when they first met, with tears in his eyes.

It was really the first time for her to receive so much recognition from her relatives and friends, the first time she was not rejected or shunned by people around her when she was in trouble, and the first time she received help from friends.

She no longer needs to become insensitive in order to protect herself. Even if she is so unhappy every day, she has to pretend to be heartless and shameless all day long, cheer herself up, and try to stay alive.

People who are not loved will really doubt whether they should live in this world.

Mei felt Pan Yue crying softly on her shoulder, and she cooperated by hugging her and patting her shoulder gently. The girls around her did the same, staying by her side in silence until Pan Yue calmed down completely.

"This annoying Thousand Ruler used such despicable means to frame me! She spread rumors about me! I'll beat her up when I catch her!" Pan Yue secretly wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and said angrily with red eyes.

She knew that the White Flower Witch was using this to temper her character, to teach her to take the initiative to break through situations and stand up in difficult situations, rather than simply avoiding and retreating.

Panyue's communicator rang. It was Youlandel sending a real-time communication request.

Pan Yue answered the call.

"Have you seen the video circulating on the Internet now?" Yulandel asked indifferently.

"Yes, Teacher Cocolia just told us all." Pan Yue replied.

"Do you have any ideas about how to deal with this Herrscher?" Yulandel asked, adding, "I know you are innocent."

"Wow... Sister, you are willing to believe me, it's really good of you!" Pan Yue was so moved that her eyes turned red after hearing this, and she couldn't control her tears from falling down, "I'm really not a bad person!"

Seeing this, Youlan Daier was a little flustered and tried to comfort her: "...Don't cry yet, I can send someone to pick you up. Come back and have a good rest for two days. I will ask the public relations department to help you clarify the rumors, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous for our next actions."

"Okay! This Herrscher wants to restrain me and crush me with public opinion, so I will just follow her wishes and retreat to advance! Let her take a good rest and when I catch her, I will definitely beat her butt to a pulp!" Pan Yue chopped her feet twice angrily.

"Tomorrow morning I will send someone to bring you back in a high-profile manner. I will tell you the detailed countermeasures when you come back."

"Okay." Pan Yue agreed.

Yulandel ended the call.

"Then let Anti-Entropy take over the next investigation task," Chang Mei began to arrange the next work for the few people. "Anti-Entropy is currently tracking down the source of the Honkai Beast statue. Once the specific address is found, Bronya and Seele will go to investigate together."
