198: Chapter 198 BB Appears and... The Second Encounter!

Silence.

The entire corridor was plunged into a deathly silence.

The tens of thousands of viewers in the livestream were completely bewildered by this bizarre conversation.

"What the hell? Nero turned into Gawain?!"

"What the hell is 'I am that Saber'?! Did PD's waifu get a sex change and bulk up on the spot?!"

"Who is lying here? My brain is about to short-circuit!"

PD stared fixedly into Gawain's eyes.

As a hardcore veteran player, PD knew this man before him too well.

In the Sixth Singularity · Holy Round Table Realm Camelot, this guy, known as the "Daylight War God," had used his unreasonable damage reduction buff to torment PD and countless players on the Blue Star, forcing many of them to smash their VR headsets.

But at the same time, PD deeply understood one thing.

Gawain, this existence who was the paragon of the Knights of the Round Table and the absolute prototype of Prince Charming.

His personality was rigid and upright to the extreme.

He absolutely wouldn't lie, and he wouldn't deign to play such clumsy tricks regarding the Master-Servant relationship.

Looking at Gawain's righteous and caring expression right now, he absolutely believed from the bottom of his heart that he was the Saber originally selected!

"Got it."

PD took a deep breath, feeling a chill run straight up his spine.

"I definitely didn't remember wrong! I picked Nero at the start!"

"This guy isn't lying either; in his cognition, he is the one who came down with me!"

PD looked at the camera in the livestream, slapped his thigh, his voice filled with the certainty and trepidation of having solved a case.

"Brothers, case closed!"

"This is a scripted death! This is absolutely a conspiracy meticulously arranged by Old Thief Gu!"

"In this virtual world hacked by a hacker, either our memories have been tampered with, or... even the memories and cognition of a top-tier Servant like Gawain have been forcibly overwritten by this Sea of Data!"

Hearing PD's analysis, the theory-crafters in the livestream instantly climaxed, and the chat was frantically flooded with comments.

"Holy crap! PD's IQ is online this time!"

"This is terrifying! Using such a method to swap the prince with a civet cat without anyone noticing, this is definitely a shocking foreshadowing!"

"Modifying cognition? This is too scary! Even his own Servant can be replaced without anyone knowing!"

"No wonder BB was so arrogant at the start! In this Deep Sea Paradise, she really is the god who controls all physical laws and data!"

Looking at Gawain's handsome and concerned face, PD rubbed his temples helplessly.

"Forget it, since I can't resist Old Thief Gu's scripted death, I can only grin and bear it." PD comforted himself secretly.

In all fairness, Gawain was the "Sun War God" who pressed countless players into the ground in the Sixth Singularity.

With such an absolutely reliable Servant joining the team, the upcoming deep-sea exploration undoubtedly gained a trump card.

However, just as the Master and the new Servant finished their "cross-server recognition."

Meltryllis, who was watching from the side with her arms crossed, looked somewhat displeased.

"Hey, stupid human."

The purple-haired girl stepped forward on her silver blade-legs, a rare blush appearing on her exquisite cheeks, her tone carrying a hint of resentment from being betrayed.

"You just said that in this hellish maze, you actually brought three Servants?!"

"What happened to relying only on me and letting me be your exclusive bodyguard!"

This sudden tsundere interrogation caused the livestream chat to instantly erupt in a carnival.

"Oh my! Meltryllis is jealous!"

"Possessiveness maxed out! Who can handle this!"

PD scratched his head awkwardly, but before PD could speak, the straightforward Gawain took over the conversation seriously.

"This lady, please do not lose your temper at my Master."

The Sun Knight listed the team roster earnestly, as if reporting for work: "The Master did indeed choose three bodyguards. Besides me, there is Ms. Tamamo-no-Mae, and..."

"That Nameless Archer who wears a red jacket and is skilled with dual blades."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Meltryllis, who was blushing from jealousy a second ago, froze instantly as if she had heard some terrifying term.

"Dual... dual blades... the Nameless Archer?"

Meltryllis subconsciously took half a step back, her usually cold and arrogant eyes now filled with unconcealable agitation, and even her speech became stuttering.

"Th-that man... actually came here too?!"

Seeing this abnormal scene, PD and the viewers were stunned.

"Holy crap? Why did Meltryllis break down?"

"Scared like this just hearing the Red Archer's name? Did these two have some history?!"

"This is terrifying! To be able to give such a perverted scissor-girl psychological trauma, what on earth did the Red Archer do to her in the Moon Cell back then?!"

The theory-crafters were instantly excited, their intuition telling them that Old Thief Gu had definitely buried a super massive pit here that spanned game settings!

Just when Meltryllis was in chaos and PD was confused.

"Zzzzt—"

On the metal corridor in front of the group, a burst of blinding pink data glitches suddenly appeared.

Accompanied by that familiar and cheerful "BB Channel" exclusive BGM.

Countless virtual cherry blossom petals drifted down out of thin air in the gloomy corridor!

"Oh my, what a touching reunion between Master and Servant~ ☆"

This time, it was no longer through the screen of the communicator on the wrist.

That devilish junior wearing a black sailor suit and holding a small pointer arrived directly in front of everyone in a physically real form, smiling sweetly!

"BB?!"

PD and Meltryllis exclaimed almost simultaneously.

Gawain drew the Sword of Promised Victory from his waist instantly, the divine power of the sun ready to be unleashed on the blade, locking onto BB tightly.

"Don't be so fierce, Mr. Gorilla Knight."

BB tapped her palm lightly with the pointer, a signature mischievous smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm not here to fight you. As the highest ruler of this Deep Sea Paradise, I'm just here to fulfill my 'referee' duties."

BB extended a finger and drew a big red X in mid-air.

"According to the great and sacred basic rules of the Holy Grail War—"

"Every Master can only have the absolute control of one Servant at the same time!"

Her purple eyes, flashing with data streams, swept playfully over Meltryllis and Gawain standing next to PD.

"But look at you, greedy pig senior."

"Right now, not only have you signed a prickly defective Alterego, but you've also picked up a Knight of the Round Table for free."

"This is a serious violation! As punishment, BB-chan is going to impose ruthless sanctions on you!"

Before she finished speaking, BB snapped her fingers.

The space behind her distorted, and a figure wearing a green hooded cloak and holding a longbow was forcibly pulled out of the data stream.

"Sigh... seriously, why do all the unlucky errands fall to me."

The green-clad archer pressed down his hood and complained in a tone of having no will to live; it was the incarnation of the chivalrous thief—Robin Hood!

"Work hard, Mr. Forest Hunter! Otherwise, I'll break you into pieces~"

BB threatened with a smile.

Facing this sudden turn of events, Meltryllis quickly put on that arrogant and cold shell again.

She stepped forward, her silver blade-legs sparking on the ground, staring coldly at the BB in front of her.

"Stop pretending, BB."

Meltryllis's tone carried a thick warning.

"As the mastermind behind all this, as the final Boss hiding at the bottom of the abyss..."

"How can you so easily come to the front stage and show your face?"

Hearing Meltryllis's question, PD also reacted suddenly.

This was too abnormal! Which final Boss runs out in person to deliver their head ten minutes after the player enters the map?

"Wait! BB, don't act yet!"

PD shouted, emboldened, "Let's talk! What's going on with the terrain of this crappy oil field? Where are my other two Servants?!"

However.

Facing Meltryllis's pointed warning and PD's head full of questions.

The smile on BB's face didn't change in the slightest, and even the madness in the depths of her eyes didn't fluctuate at all.

She completely treated the words of these two as wind past her ears.

"Chat time is over~ ☆"

BB pointed her pointer directly at the PD in front, cold light without pity flashing in her purple eyes.

"Punishment program, initiate!"

Following her command, Robin Hood sighed, and his emerald-green poison bow was instantly pulled to a full moon.

Gawain roared, and the holy sword burning with solar flames swung out with a boom!

The second encounter of the Deep Sea Paradise was on the verge of breaking out at this moment!
