Chapter 11: Acheron's three questions! Is Acheron a riddle-maker?

"Wow, so bizarre, so twisty!"

"It's the opening of a story I like!"

Palais Mermonia,

Furina looked at this opening plot, her expression surprised.

She didn't even notice the cake on her nose.

"I say, Miss Furina."

"Can you not eat in my office."

"It's hard to clean up the cream stains from the cake if they splash onto the furniture!"

Neuvillette sat in his office chair, his face full of helplessness.

"Oh, oh, I'll be careful, don't make such a big deal out of it!"

Furina wiped the cream off her nose,

gave Neuvillette a perfunctory reply,

and continued to watch the video seriously.

"A bad start?"

"Encountering unexpected things right from the start."

"It seems that the journey of the Astral Express is not all smooth sailing."

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli couldn't help but let out a light sigh watching this scene on the video.

"Acheron?!"

"He's a treasure, is it that Acheron who impersonated the Galaxy Ranger?"

"She's actually in this livestream too?"

Boothill saw Acheron's comment and subconsciously wanted to question her about why she was impersonating a Galaxy Ranger.

"Forget it, wait a bit longer."

"Let's see what this idiot woman is trying to do first."

Boothill thought about it,

and decided not to alert the enemy for now.

In the video.

After Stelle hesitated for a moment,

she walked out of the room and came to the end of the corridor on the left.

There, the strange woman was waiting for her.

[Galaxy Ranger, Acheron... that's how they call me, you can use it as you please.]

Seeing Stelle arrive, the woman stated her identity.

Then, her figure flickered repeatedly, guiding Stelle to a very luxurious hall.

[Stelle: This... my god...] Stelle looked around and couldn't help but let out a faint exclamation.

[Acheron: This way. You first.] Acheron greeted Stelle.

[Stelle: You want me... to walk on the wall?] Stelle came to the position Acheron pointed to, looking at a pool of yellow bubble-like liquid on the wall, a bit confused.

[Stelle: It can actually be done?!] She tried to use this bubble liquid to go up the wall, but found that she went up easily.

[Acheron: Why not?] Acheron's voice sounded out of the blue in Stelle's ear.

[Stelle: She can hear what I'm thinking?] Stelle was a bit surprised.

[Acheron: Why not?] Acheron still gave the same words.

Stelle began to use the yellow bubbles to fly over walls, ===== CHAPTER 28 =====

and every time she walked onto a wall, the entire scene would flip and adjust accordingly.

Finally, she arrived directly above where she first entered the hall.

The entire hall was now upside down.

[Acheron: We're almost there. Can you still walk?] Acheron's tone was a bit concerned.

[Stelle: I'm already on the wall, feeling good.] Stelle had calmed down by now, so she was gradually revealing her true colors.

[Acheron: Very humorous. Since you have the mind to joke, I'll assume you're fine.] Acheron's voice remained steady, not amused by Stelle.

[Acheron: Don't stop, don't look back, don't look down, and don't look up.]

Acheron gave Stelle a few serious instructions and walked in one direction.

Stelle saw this and hurriedly followed.

However, on the way, she encountered many phantoms.

These phantoms included people she knew, such as Silver Wolf and Dr. Ratio.

And some she didn't know.

[Silver Wolf: How are you planning to pull them into the game?]

[Tall mech: Present the truth in full, and they will naturally keep the appointment.]

Stelle came to Silver Wolf's phantom, watched her communicate with a mech, and then the phantom disappeared.

[Acheron: These voices... are just shadows of the dream. No need to care.] Acheron saw Stelle's encounter and explained.

[The stage of the "Harmonious Ceremony" belongs only to you, sister.]

[But if I can't sing... what's the point of the stage?]

This time it was the phantom of a strange brother and sister.

It was also a short exchange, and then they dissipated.

[Dr. Ratio: Why do you think you can win, you damn gambler?]

[A man dressed very flamboyantly: Three "chips" are enough. Everything, or nothing.]

This time the phantom combination was a pair of men,

one of whom Stelle knew, it was Dr. Ratio.

And the other was dressed gorgeously, using a playful tone to converse with him.

But without exception, after one sentence, they completely disappeared.

Stelle came to the last combination.

[A little girl with twin tails: Memokeeper... do you think you can leave safely?]

[A mysterious woman exuding a mature charm: Sorry, favorite dance partner... I already have a candidate.]

After speaking, there were no more phantoms in the hall.

Stelle: "This dream is too bizarre, right? I can actually fly over walls?"

March 7th: "That's not bizarre enough, what's more bizarre is that they flip with your perspective!"

Klee: "Wow, it looks like an interesting amusement park, Klee wants to have a dream like this too!"

Hook: "That's right, that's right, Hook likes dreams like this too."

Furina: "By the way, did you see those few pairs of phantoms? I'm sure there must be some shocking conspiracy here!"

Furina: "Especially that person called the gambler, look at his comment!"

Furina: "Three chips are enough. Everything, or nothing!"

Furina: "Listen, listen! What kind of domineering and crazy speech is this!"

Furina: "Sounds like a super big villain!"

"Three chips are enough. Everything, or nothing!"

"If you can say such powerful lines, what else could you be but a villain?"

Palais Mermonia, Furina repeated these words in her mouth,

feeling that this was simply a line tailored for a villain.

It focused on the villain's confidence and madness.

Aventurine: "Haha, this Miss Furina really knows how to joke."

Aventurine: "I am a law-abiding citizen in the interstellar, how could I be a villain?"

In the hotel in Penacony,

Aventurine, who hadn't checked in long ago,

saw Furina's comment while lying in the bathtub,

and hurriedly defended himself.

The people in this livestream were a mixed bag, and there might be someone in charge of Penacony.

If they saw any clues,

his affairs would be hard to handle.

"Sigh, why did this livestream descend at this time?"

"My plan was originally foolproof."

"Now it's fine, it's all messed up."

"However... maybe this will be even more interesting?"

In the bathtub, Aventurine held the chips, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

Furina: "So that person called the gambler is you?"

Furina: "Are you really not a villain?"

Aventurine: "Miss Furina, I'm really not a villain, it's true!"

Aventurine: "Professor, I know you're here, why don't you help me prove it!"

Dr. Ratio: "Heh, stupid gambler."

Dr. Ratio: "That's right, although he is a brainless gambler, he is indeed not a villain."

Furina: "Oh, then I misunderstood, sorry, sorry."

Aventurine: "It's okay, the misunderstanding is cleared up, Miss Furina doesn't need to apologize."

Because Dr. Ratio testified, Furina temporarily believed Aventurine's words.

The video continued to play.

Stelle followed Acheron and started to enter a corridor,

then ran hard.

They were chasing a door that kept moving away from them.

[Acheron: ...We're here.] Acheron stopped in front of a door and said to Stelle.

Hearing this, Stelle looked at the door in front of her,

and pushed it open carefully.

[Welcome to the Reverie Hotel, I hope you have an unforgettable vacation experience! If you need to check in, please go straight to the hotel front desk...]

After pushing the door open, it was the phantom of a bellboy,

he bowed to Stelle, and then dissipated.

[Acheron: Leave here, wake up as you usually do, forget this accidental encounter, and return to where you came from.]

[But before we part, I have a request.]

[To you, it might sound a bit strange, even rude, but I want to know...]

[Have we met somewhere before?]

Acheron stared at Stelle, her meaning unclear.

[Stelle: What do you mean?] Acheron's words, which came out of nowhere, made Stelle confused.

[Acheron: You remind me of an old friend. In my hazy memory, she stood side by side with me... just like this bizarre dream, close at hand but untouchable.]

[Can I ask you a few more questions? I... often forget things, so compared to memories, I am more accustomed to using "feelings" to capture something. Whether the answer is correct or not is not important, what is important is your current reaction.]

[For example, when you woke up in the guest room, you mentioned a few names, are they your partners? Family? Enemies? You seem to have established unbreakable connections with many people and many things...]

[May I ask, would you feel fear about losing this connection?] Acheron's tone was flat, but the question she asked made Stelle's heart tighten.

[Stelle: I... I don't know.] Stelle pondered for a moment, not giving an answer. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
