Chapter 133

【I can see the center of this patch of dreamscape, and the family members... there are still a few figures fumbling forward, looks like your friends aren't having much luck either.】

【One, two, three...】

【Hm?】

【No, three?】

【Is there a third person searching for the way to the main hall?】

【Wait... this is...】

【—Is that the little girl who was with you?!】

The Black Swan sensed the conditions within the dreamscape,

but unexpectedly discovered a figure that should not be there.

【You said she already returned to reality!】

Star, hearing the Black Swan's words, could not help but ask.

【I don't understand, but there's a familiar shadow in the memory domain, and it feels just like her.】

【What reason could she possibly have to delve deeper into the dreamscape?】

【Is she... running?】

【No... running?】

【Something seems to be behind her...】

【Bad!】

【Everyone, we must hurry!】

The Black Swan, through sensing, learned of something dire,

and her expression grew anxious.

Seeing this, Star immediately understood that Liuying was in danger.

Without a word, she bent her head and pressed forward.

Her hand clenched involuntarily, trembling with unease.

【With time so urgent, I must break protocol and use a method to take you all through the memory domain.】

【I've plucked a few strands of her thoughts from the memory domain—these will help you form an impression of her.】

【Now, grip these thoughts tightly, and shape them clearly in your mind.】

【Just now, I caught some very familiar memories—the "old friend" here isn't just her, but also a third party present when you were in danger...】

【—That memory domain meme was there too.】

The Black Swan swiftly explained to Star, then acted,

forcibly dissolving the closed door before them.

【Hurry, pass through here.】

The Black Swan called out,

urgently leading the two through the door,

sprinting down the corridor.

Soon, they reached the end,

where another elevator stood.

The three said nothing, stepping into the elevator together.

The elevator doors began to close slowly,

and for some reason, Star's heart

trembled along with the closing gates.

Her thoughts began to ripple like flowing water,

a suffocating sensation drowning her from within.

In her daze, she seemed to hear voices.

【I dreamed of scorched earth, a new sprout breaking through—the dawn kissed it, and it whispered to me.】

【Why do people choose to sleep? I think...】

At this point, a sigh—unknown in origin—rose.

【... because they fear waking from the dream.】

Star: "How could that be?!"

Star: "Impossible—it can't be like this!"

March 7th: "What does this scene mean?!"

March 7th: "Why is Young Lady Liuying still trapped in the dreamscape?!"

March 7th: "Why is Young Lady Liuying still being chased by that memory domain meme?!"

March 7th: "Why did Star hear Young Lady Liuying's voice inside the elevator... for no reason?!"

Paimon: "Wahhh, my heart is pounding!"

Paimon: "I have a feeling that when the elevator doors open... we'll see...!"

Ying: "Paimon, don't talk nonsense!"

Ying: "Nothing bad will happen!"

Gui Naifen: "Ahahaha... this is a livestream, after all!"

Gui Naifen: "Livestreams always have cheerful, healthy, positive vibes!"

Gui Naifen: "How could it... possibly... really show something like that..."

Gui Naifen: "It probably... shouldn't be like that... right?"

Funingna: "...."

Funingna: "But can this live stream really be a positive, uplifting style?"

Himeko: "I hope... nothing like that happens."

Sandgold: "Though it's a bit disappointing, the next scene might become one of the key pillars to topple the family!"

Stelle: "Sandgold, shut up!"

Stelle: "What do you mean? Are you cursing Liuying?"

Sandgold: "You misunderstand—I never said that."

Xiangling: "Truly, a profit-driven merchant, thinking only of his own interests!"

Xiangling: "Zero empathy!"

Hu Tao: "Indeed, it's truly hard to shake off the merchant's nature."

Topaz: "Sandgold, you fool, can't you even tell when to keep your mouth shut?"

Truth Doctor: "I know you're eager to see the family collapse, but I beg you—don't rush, you foolish gambler!"

Sandgold: "Alright, alright, I spoke out of turn—I apologize."

Sandgold: "But I think you're all overreacting!"

Sandgold: "Although Liuying Young Lady in the video may face a terrible fate..."

Sandgold: "But right now, she's still alive and well!"

Liuying: "Uh... yes... that's right."

Liuying: "I'm still safe right now."

March 7th: "That's right! We're just worrying too much!"

March 7th: "The video shows the future—no matter what happens, there's still hope to change it!"

Stelle: "Even so... I still don't want to see that terrifying scene."

Liuying: "It's fine, Stelle—I'm perfectly safe, don't be afraid!"

Miss Beidou: "Hey, why are you all getting so down so fast?"

Miss Beidou: "What if nothing happens at all?"

Miss Beidou: "Don't scare yourselves!"

Welt: "Miss Beidou is right—Liuying Young Lady might come out of this unharmed!"

Stelle: "Sigh, I hope so."

The video continues.

【Careful! A dangerous presence is nearby.】
