Chapter 141

"Does he really think he's a big star?"

Himeko looked around; at this moment, the surroundings of the Grand Theater appeared incomparably calm.

There wasn't a single person...

"Empty?"

"The Hounds dispersed the tourists earlier, and now they are nowhere to be found either..."

It was as if the people of the Family had specifically cleared out a place for them to fight...

This made Himeko very suspicious...

"Everyone, keep your eyes peeled!"

"The opponent is clearly prepared..."

Himeko sensed that something was very wrong...

Stelle nodded and rushed out first, heading toward the interior of the Grand Theater...

Aventurine's voice rang out over the broadcast at this moment: "Ladies and gentlemen!"

"Dreamchasers, tycoons, the Watchmaker, and distinguished guests of the Family..."

"And the famous... Nameless of the Astral Express!"

"Welcome to the IPC's show!!!"

Soon, Stelle arrived inside the Grand Theater...

The screen in the Grand Theater had already changed to Aventurine's iconic dice logo!

For the audience, this battle was still somewhat baffling.

This game of werewolf, until the moment it is truly revealed...

The development of the Penacony story is like a giant riddle.

In the livestream room...

Bai Feng began to say: "The upcoming battle is the most important transition in the entire Penacony story!"

"At the same time, after this battle..."

"We will also see someone from the Mikhail era appear..."

"In short, everyone, stay calm..."

"Keep watching, and I will explain it to you one by one."

Bronya nodded, looking like she had learned something.

"Sure enough, when making a game, one still needs to be a bit of a riddler..."

"If you want this game to be liked and wondered about by more people! You need to plant more foreshadowing..."

Thinking of this, Bronya couldn't help but nod repeatedly...

It seemed as if she had found the main reason why her own game failed...

Seeing Bronya nodding, Bai Feng also smiled with satisfaction!

Bronya, the ready-made game template is right here...

Don't let the next game flop again!

Of course, Bai Feng also knew another thing...

That is the reason why that game flopped...

Kiana was the biggest problem!

That is a matter for another time...

In the video screen...

As Stelle and the others arrived inside the Grand Theater together...

Aventurine still did not appear, but spoke to everyone through the theater's broadcast: "You're late..."

"Everyone from the Astral Express..."

"And this one here... the uninvited guest!"

The one referred to was, of course, Acheron, who was standing on the side of the Astral Express at this moment...

Acheron, who came to Penacony as a Galaxy Ranger...

However, with the IPC's capabilities!

They had long known about the death of the Annihilation Gang's Duke Inferno...

And the stolen invitation to the Charmony Festival...

Himeko spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly: "We have come to keep our appointment..."

"Mr. Aventurine!"

"According to etiquette, you should also appear..."

Aventurine smiled: "Of course I will..."

"But before that, I hope to introduce today's protagonist properly..."

"Let's have a round of applause for—Miss Stellaron!!!"

Stelle looked proud, while only March 7th had a forced smile.

Welt narrowed his eyes, unable to guess what Aventurine was trying to do at this moment...

But he could fish for information!

"Allow me to remind you..."

"This stage and Stelle's identity should have nothing to do with catching the real culprit..."

The real culprit mentioned here is naturally the person who committed the murder in this place!

"No, it's related! Of course it's related!"

"Otherwise, why would I work so hard to gain your trust..."

"And then invite you all here?"

"Because she is the only eyewitness who witnessed all three murders..."

"The best candidate to prove that death does not exist in the dream is just empty talk!"

"Three murders?"

Himeko's eyes narrowed, because at this time, only two murders had occurred in the dream of Penacony.

"Yes, madam!"

"The third murder is about to happen!"

"Right here, in Clock Studios Theme Park..."

"A truly grand death!"

Aventurine's voice was incomparably confident!

"A truly grand death!!!"

"You, you, you, and you..."

"Everyone will die..."

"And all of this is because of you, Miss Stellaron!"

"You will personally embody death here!"

Stelle was very clear about her current strength.

"I don't have that much energy..."

Aventurine in the broadcast laughed: "Don't underestimate yourself..."

"I said, you possess the power to flip the entire card table..."

"Let me be clearer; I will detonate the Stellaron inside you!"

"Create a small accident in Penacony..."

"Bang~"

"The entire theme park will turn into a shattered dream. However..."

"I will become the navigator for the IPC fleet before the Family can react!"

The audience, listening to Aventurine's plan, couldn't help but curse him as a madman in their hearts!

Worthy of being a thorough gambler...

Of course, if Bai Feng had just released the video, the audience would definitely think so...

But before the video started, Bai Feng also said this was Aventurine's plan!

And Aventurine's true purpose was not this...

This also made the audience even more curious at this moment...

Aventurine's true purpose!

Behind this high-stakes gamble, what was the real thought...

What did he want to do?

Why did Bai Feng say just now that after this boss fight, it would be the true transition!

It would be the beginning of revealing the secrets of Penacony...

Acheron, standing beside everyone, put one hand on her hip and said with a flat tone: "Bluffing is useless against us."

"If you could really do it, you would have had plenty of opportunities before..."

Hearing Acheron's rebuttal, Aventurine in the broadcast laughed again: "Are you betting with me?"

"Alright~ then I'll bet with you too!"

"I bet that I will win a complete victory, using an unprecedented big explosion to prove that the vow of Harmony is a complete joke!"

Aventurine began to recount his past, how he was a pitiful slave, and after being given a slave number!

It was by relying on the high-stakes gambles along the way that he became one of the IPC's Stonehearts!

Along this path, he had always been gambling!

Never stopped!

And never even lost!!

Not even once!!!

This is Aventurine!

A gambler!

A thorough gambler...

"Friend, the game has already begun!"

"You cannot refuse... no reason, and no room!"

"The dice have been cast, are you all ready to reveal your cards!!!"

The lights on the stage changed rapidly, and everyone present felt a huge danger...

They all took out their weapons...

Acheron's hand also rested on the hilt of her blade...

Ready to draw her blade at any time...

Flames erupted from Stelle's hand, and the flames condensed into a fiery red lance that she raised...

Aiming at Aventurine, who had already appeared in the video screen at this moment...

Aventurine seemed to be able to see the fiery lance in Stelle's hand!

Or rather, he sensed the power of the Path of Trailblaze on Stelle...

"The inferior stone of the Architects..."

"Hahaha... worthless..."

Aventurine threw several dice directly from his hand; those dice didn't know where they rolled from...

They rolled to the feet of the Astral Express passengers...

"I place my bet, I play the game!"

"I will win!!!"

"I let fate spin the roulette, go all-in, and survive after traversing the dead zone!!!"

In front of the big screen, Aventurine, covered in light, slowly descended from the sky, took out a blue aventurine stone, and crushed it fiercely...

Golden energy began to surge!

While enduring this powerful force, Aventurine shouted: "Everything for... the Amber Lord!!!"

Golden light began to shine on Aventurine's body!

And at this moment, the screen flashed to an aerial view...

A purple bird that looked like a crow...

Seemed to be observing and overlooking this scene...

But this screen flickered very quickly...

So not all the audience noticed it...

[Herta: This guy is for real! Going all out right from the start?]

[Welt: This guy... clearly has gone further on the Path of Preservation...]

[Stelle: Stronger than me?]

[March 7th: How is this kind of guy also on the Path of Preservation...]

[Mobius: Can't deny the plan is indeed crazy, but unfortunately, it's not his real plan!]

[Mei: Truly a powerful guy... not everyone can control this kind of power...]

[Silver Wolf: People in the IPC are all like this, just get used to it...]

[Kiana: The armor on this guy is actually quite cool...]

[Fu Hua: It looks like... the power of the Path seems to be able to turn into armor and shroud a person...]

[Kevin: Perhaps it's just a concrete manifestation of energy...]

[Jing Yuan: The power of the Path of Preservation... is truly powerful...]

[Bronya (Honkai): Although that is powerful... but with Acheron standing there, it feels like it would be very easy...]

[Boothill: Hmph! No matter how strong this guy's strength is, it can't possibly be stronger than the power of an Emanator...]

[Jingliu: The huge difference between an Emanator and a non-Emanator is hard to make up for...]

In the livestream room...

Watching the scene about to erupt into a fight, Bronya couldn't help but ask curiously again: "Captain, does this mean Acheron will have a chance to make a move?"

Bai Feng nodded: "Yes..."

"Rather than saying Acheron will make a move, it's more like provoking Acheron to make a move..."

"That was the real purpose from the very beginning!!!"

"Why?"

Bronya was very confused.

Bai Feng began to explain, and after Bai Feng's explanation, the audience finally understood.

It turned out that during the investigation, Aventurine had a direct conflict with Sunday!

So he was given an ultimatum by Sunday to find the murderer, and at the same time, Sunday also placed the shackles of Harmony on Aventurine!

If Aventurine could not complete Sunday's request on time, he would eventually die...

In the process of laying out the plan, Aventurine was also constantly being influenced by the Path of Harmony!

It was only until this moment of all-out fighting that he felt much better...

"Aventurine actually discovered it too, with the IPC's background check and his own analysis!"

"He knew Acheron was an Emanator of Nihility, so he created this stage to force Acheron to make a move!"

"Acheron's power is the power of Nihility; the power of Nihility can allow him to die in this dream!"

"At the same time, it can also allow him..."

"To get rid of those shackles from Harmony..."

Bronya understood: "So the third death Aventurine mentioned just now was actually his own death?"

"No!"

"Everyone present will die!"

"Except for Acheron!"

"Everyone will die!"

Bronya was frightened...

...only.
