Chapter 211

【Probably just a dream bubble pieced together from rumors and gossip.】

Topaz walked along the road, thinking.

Stelle: "Goodness, so you actually bought the real thing, huh?"

Stelle: "Just who was the person who donated this dream bubble?"

Stelle: "They could even make something like this?"

March 7th: "Hard to say...."

March 7th: "Everyone killed by a Memory Zone meme has died...."

March 7th: "By rights, their memories should have dissipated too."

March 7th: "How would an ordinary person get their hands on the memories from right before they died?"

Hu Tao: "Ordinary people don't have that kind of means."

Hu Tao: "But maybe Miss Black Swan could?"

Hu Tao: "After all, she is a Remembrancer of the Garden of Recollection."

Xiangling: "Could it be that Miss Black Swan was the one who donated the dream bubble?"

Black Swan: "I think.... I shouldn't be doing something like that."

Topaz: "Well, you can't be sure. Maybe there's profit in it?"

Paimon: "I keep feeling like the kind of person who'd donate this sort of dream bubble would fit Miss Sparkle better."

Sparkle: "Hehe, now you've hit the nail on the head!"

Sparkle: "I really do enjoy donating these rather thrilling dream bubbles~"

The video continued.

【The voice in my head...... is killing me, getting closer and closer.】

After walking for a stretch,

Topaz felt her brain buzzing,

as if it were about to explode.

This made her face turn a little pale too.

【Stay safe, friend.】

【If you run into danger, the Hounds are at your service anytime.】

This time, Topaz came up in front of a very burly, broad-shouldered man.

【Mr., these gems are for you.】

Topaz took out her gems,

and stuffed them over.

【.......】

Facing Topaz's move,

the expression on this burly man began to grow a little complicated.

The way he looked at Topaz at this moment,

was like looking at a bird not far from death.

【Friend..... you don't look so good.】

【If you need help, I can contact the hotel to forcibly wake you.】

The burly man said in a complicated tone.

【No need, I still have things to do... but thanks.】

Topaz shook her head,

declining the burly man's kind offer.

【Alright then.】

【Don't push yourself too hard. If you need anything, come find us Hounds.】

Seeing that persuasion was useless,

the burly man stopped insisting.

【Mm, I do actually want to ask you for a favor......】

【As Penacony's finest Hound, have you had any dealings with smugglers lately?】

Topaz began to probe this burly man for information about the smugglers.

【Smugglers?】

【How could Penacony have smugglers?】

【There's never been such a thing.】

Hearing this,

the Hound immediately denied it outright.

【Mm.... alright then.】

【Wishing you smooth work.】

Since this Hound was unwilling to reveal any information,

Topaz could only not waste any more time,

turn around, and leave.

【The Family really won't tell the Company anything..... sigh, what a waste of breath.】

Topaz couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Stelle: "Topaz wants to find out news about Firefly, but that's clearly a futile effort."

Stelle: "If you really have that kind of energy, you might as well think about how to get back into the hotel sealed off by the family and look for evidence."

Topaz: "Friend, you really are the type to stand there and talk without feeling any pain in your back."

Topaz: "That place is heavily guarded right now — you think it's that easy to get into?"

Stelle: "I'm not standing while talking, I'm sitting while talking!"

0 asking for flowers

Stelle: "Besides, you're about to die right now. If you don't fight for it, won't you just lose your chance?"

Stelle: "Joining the family may not be great, but at least it can temporarily save your own life!"

Stelle: "As long as you're still alive, the rest can be figured out slowly."

Hu Tao: "Miss Stelle makes a good point."

Hu Tao: "Look at Topaz's pale face right now — it's obvious he's really on the brink of death!"

Sampo: "Brother, take my advice — keeping your life is more important than anything else."

Furina: "Everyone's right, Mr. Topaz. Stop being stubborn — whatever tricks you've got, use them now and fight for it."

Topaz: "Thank you all for your kindness. I didn't expect everyone to still think of me — I'm truly overwhelmed."

Topaz: "But... your persuasion here is useless, isn't it?"

Topaz: "The one dying is the me in the video — what does that have to do with me, Topaz?"

Topaz: "You all really don't need to be this tense."

Furina: Ah this.... When watching the video, it's easy to unconsciously put yourself in....

Furina: "Last time when I saw Miss Firefly and Miss Robin die horribly, it was the same..."

Huang Quan: "That's a good thing. It means everyone here is a flesh-and-blood person full of emotion."

General Jing Yuan: "Indeed, you are all people of feeling — that is a rare and precious quality."

Stelle: "Sigh, since it's the Topaz in the video who's going to die, I won't worry then."

Stelle: "Let him die, then. Once he's dead, maybe we'll get to watch some fun."

March 7th: "???"

March 7th: "Are you doing a face-change act here?"

Topaz: "Cough cough, why does that sound so grating...."

The video continues.

【Does everyone have to endure this kind of torture before joining the family... Bastards, I want to send my brain out as evidence....】

Under the influence of the eerie power,

Topaz felt his brain growing more and more agonizing.
