Chapter 489

Paimon: "Where is the fatal flaw?"

Zhong Li: "No, the flaw is actually quite obvious."

Zhong Li: "There is one key figure who runs through the plot from beginning to end."

Zhong Li: "But in reality, he should never have appeared."

Hu Tao: "Should never have appeared in reality?"

Hu Tao: "Consultant, do you mean someone who can only exist in the dreamscape?"

Stelle: "I remember now!"

Stelle: "It's Little Misha!"

Stelle: "The moment I arrived at the Dreamscape Hotel in reality, I saw Little Misha!"

Stelle: "But he, as someone born from a dream bubble, shouldn't have appeared at the hotel in reality!!"

March 7th: "That's right!!"

March 7th: "Little Misha is basically the same as a Memorie of the Remembrance Zone — how could he possibly appear in reality?!"

March 7th: "Then what on earth is going on?!"

Welt: "Two possibilities."

Welt: "Either Little Misha, because he possesses the power of Trailblaze, temporarily gained the ability to appear in reality."

Welt: "But I don't think the power of Trailblaze grants such an ability."

Welt: "And the other possibility is....."

Welt: "The current Penacony..... has long since lost its reality....."

Gui Naifen: "N-no more reality?!"

Miss Sushang: "I don't really get it!"

Miss Sushang: "Are you saying.... Penacony has been in a dream from the very start?"

Miss Qingque: "I feel like that's probably how we should understand it?"

The video continues.

26 【I remember now!】

【The flaw is Little Misha!】

【It was the first encounter with Little Misha at the hotel!】

Stelle calmed down and pondered for a moment,

and finally recalled where this fatal flaw lay!

【Heh, little Misha...... or should I call you Mr. Watchmaker now?】

【He was a memory born within a dream bubble, yet he left the dream bubble with a heart set on Trailblazing, and even went on to have a grand adventure in Penacony.......】

【But in the end, this little Misha was nothing more than a special Memorie of the Remembrance Zone.】

【No matter how the power of Trailblaze made him all-powerful, there was one thing he could never do—】

【—a life born within the Remembrance Zone could absolutely never appear in reality.】

【So why did he meet you at the Dreamscape Hotel in reality?】

【The answer is simple: because he is precisely that fatal flaw that contradicts everything we know.】

【And this also means that you, who believed so deeply in this memory.........】

【At this very moment, are still within the dreamscape.】

【Wake up, Stelle.】

【Break free from this endless dream, and return to the waking world — we will all find the answers there.】

Paimon: "A dream.... it's all a dream.... what on earth is reality?"

Paimon: "After watching this, Paimon can no longer tell reality and the dreamscape apart at all."

Paimon: "Lumine, do you think we're dreaming right now too?"

Paimon: "Could it be that we're trapped in an even deeper layer of the Sabzeruz Festival and never got out, which is why we're having these bizarre dreams?!"

Paimon: "Everyone in the livestream room, are they all figments of a dream too??"

Nahida: "Don't worry, Paimon — you're not dreaming right now."

Nahida: "Even dreams have to be constructed based on the memories and cognition in one's brain."

Nahida: "But clearly, we people of Teyvat could not possibly have any cognition of worlds beyond the universe."

Nahida: "Without that kind of cognition, you naturally couldn't dream such a logically coherent dream."

Hu Tao: "Well then, here's the question."

Hu Tao: "If Miss Stelle fell into the dreamscape from the very start."

Hu Tao: "Then is everything she experienced real or fake?"

Hu Tao: "Was it all just her own fantasy from start to finish....."

Hu Tao: "Or was it that in the first half, everyone was in the same dream?"

Furina: "From the video, the first half should be everyone in the same dream."

Furina: "Of course, that can't be stated with certainty."

Furina: "Because what Miss Stelle experienced afterward also feels very real....."

Furina: "Forget it, thinking about it carefully, I can't tell either."

Furina: "All I can say is, Sunday's handiwork is terrifying."

Furina: "It makes it impossible to tell reality and the dreamscape apart."

Lumine: "I suddenly have a question — when something is this real, can it really still be called a dream?"

Stelle: "If not for Young Lady Black Swan's reminder, Miss Stelle could have continued adventuring and exploring in this dream!"

Stelle: "Isn't that a bit... something?"

Stelle: "I now think Sunday is really impressive."

Stelle: "Even compared to him, Illusion falls short by quite a bit."

March 7th: "Hey, the enemy being impressive isn't exactly good news for us, right?"

March 7th: "Like right now, we're being led around by the nose."

The video continues.

The scene shifts,

Black Swan disappears,

Stelle begins sitting on the sofa,

waiting for the teleportation.

【Teleportation about to begin】

【5, 4, 3, 2.....】

Along with Pom-Pom's countdown,

many fragmented dreamscape clips begin to flash before Stelle's eyes,

and when the countdown ends,

Stelle's vision goes black.

When she wakes up again,

she finds herself already in a hotel room.

Stelle: "This....."

Stelle: "Where the heck did I end up?"

Stelle: "I teleported into a hotel room?"

March 7th: "Such a familiar room — is this the one Stelle ended up in at the very beginning out of nowhere?"

Furina: "As expected, it's all a dream."

Furina: "Miss Stelle now... has woken up from the dreamscape?"

Huang Quan: "No, she is still dreaming right now."

Huang Quan: "However, she is in a lucid state."

Black Swan: "Perhaps it can be understood as her having already broken free from the dream within a dream."

Black Swan: "Previously, she — or rather, everyone — had fallen asleep within Penacony's Dreamscape World, sinking into an even more layered dreamscape."

Hu Tao: "Falling asleep within a dream?!"
