Chapter 296: The Medical Pod That Shatters All Cognition, Shajin

March 7th: "I'm dead from laughing."

March 7th: "The conversation between Miss Lius and Blade is oddly hilarious."

Stelle: "Yingbao looking so serious is adorable!"

Welt: "Laxiongdi Society......"

Welt: "It seems this is the scene where the Star Core Hunters launched the Yepera rebellion."

Fuyena: "By the way, how did they know the future so early?"

Fuyena: "That mysterious Elios is truly impressive!"

Truth Doctor: "At that time, the Eternal Flame Manor didn't even exist yet."

Truth Doctor: "But it had already been pre-designated as an indispensable ~piece..."

Truth Doctor: "Ha, no wonder the Star Core Hunters stir up storms across the universe—this is no simple matter."

Ying: "Uh... looking at it this way... the Grand Duke of Netherfire is just a complete tool, right?"

Ying: "His entire purpose... seems to be just to receive the invitation letter, then deliver it to Huang Quan?"

Miss Sushang: "Not just the invitation letter—he gave his life to Huang Quan too."

Huahuo: "Hahaha, buy one get one free, right?"

Huahuo: "This is killing me!"

Huahuo: "I have to say, the Grand Duke of Netherfire really knows how to create entertainment."

Huahuo: "Too bad we didn't get any advance warning."

Huahuo: "Otherwise I definitely would've gone to watch it in person!"

Sangbo: "This guy turned his own life into entertainment."

Sangbo: "On this point, Old Sangbo can only admit defeat!"

Shajin: "Ha, in my view, the Grand Duke of Netherfire's final experience qualifies him for the tavern."

Stelle: "Amazing!"

Stelle: "If the Grand Duke of Netherfire had known he was destined to be a tool all along..."

Stelle: "He'd probably rage so hard he'd come back from the dead!"

Huang Quan: "Don't worry—he's dead, completely and utterly. No chance of resurrection."

Amber: "Pfft, Huang Quan's serious explanation is just so funny."

Potio: "Damn, you just made me crack too."

The video continues.

The scene shifts.

Back to Stelle.

【Stelle, I'm glad to see you're safe.】

Stelle followed Miss Lius into an unfamiliar dreamscape,

and immediately encountered Welt.

【Uncle Yang, you're here too?】

Stelle looked at Welt in surprise.

【【Close your eyes】...... That's the answer.】

【Isn't it incredible? The monster we've always regarded as death is actually the guardian of the Exile Lands.】

【It follows a specific pattern, snatching people from their beautiful dreams and bringing them here.】

Miss Lius explained a few things to Stelle.

【Our long-standing confusion about whether true death exists within dreams—now it's clear this was a mental trap set by the mastermind, meant to conceal the truth behind people's disappearances.....】

【And...... this fortress named Liumeng Reef.】

【Every appearance of that memetic entity is tied to the Clockmaker. Since Liumeng Reef is where it takes everyone, many of our lingering questions must find answers here.】

Welt also spoke to Stelle.

【The atmosphere here is utterly unlike the beautiful dreams. People live in extreme laxity, with no family-like administrators, and their mental states are subtly dazed.】

【But from fragments of the residents' chatter, I picked up a familiar name... Gallagher.】

Miss Lius revealed a key clue she had previously uncovered.

【That man again—always appearing precisely where he's needed... saving us the trouble of searching.】

【Himeko and March 7th have already set out ahead.】

【Stelle, adjust your state—we're leaving now.】

Stelle: "Huh?"

Stelle: "We've actually arrived in another unfamiliar dreamscape!"

Stelle: "Confirmed—the Memory Domain memetic entity is a bus!"

Stelle: "But I want to know—who the hell came up with this idea?"

Stelle: "Using a terrifying Memory Domain memetic entity as a bus?"
