Chapter 224

【It was Sparkle and Black Swan, but most people didn't know their names at this time.】

【When passing by, only heard Sparkle use a tone of mockery and sarcasm to say to Black Swan: "Memokeeper... do you think you can leave safely?"】

【But Black Swan's reply seemed to be a refusal, or an answer that didn't fit the question: "Sorry. I already have a candidate for a dance partner..."】

Somewhere on a planet.

Screwllum looked at the live stream screen and said in an intellectual, wise, and gentle tone: "The dreamscape of Penacony is indeed wonderful. Question: Is the Trailblazer still on the Astral Express now?"

Beside Screwllum, a petite and cute figure was talking to Screwllum in the form of a 3D image, it was Herta.

Only heard Herta say: "This answer, I think you have also guessed it, after all, we are not completely ignorant about the situation in Penacony, hehe, it seems someone in 【The Family】 wants to do something big."

At the end, Herta's voice carried a bit of a fun-loving taste.

Screwllum said gently: "Guessing, after all, is just guessing, and to turn guessing into reality, some verification is needed."

Herta said calmly: "I naturally understand this truth, but I believe that not long after, the evidence will fall directly into our eyes from this live stream screen."

In the live stream room.

"Is that mature and elegant big sister a Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection?"

"I feel that the people who came to Penacony this time are really a bit complex, Astral Express, IPC, and people from the Garden of Recollection, all are loud existences in the star sea."

"All forces gathered in Penacony, I am more curious about how wonderful a story will happen on this stage."

Where the Astral Express group is.

Welt Yang looked at the screen in the live stream and said seriously: "With so many forces coming to Penacony together, even 【The Family】 must have a headache."

March 7th also felt a bit complex, held her cheek with one hand and said: "It seems that what Pom-Pom said in the live stream screen before really had foresight. Penacony at this time can be called mixed with fish and dragons."

【Stelle was full of doubts after hearing this, but at this time she couldn't ask more, so she could only follow Acheron to find the way back to her companions on the Astral Express.】

【After passing through the hall before, Stelle and Acheron walked into a corridor again.】

【But as the two walked in, the door that was not far away moved strangely one after another, and finally stopped somewhere ahead.】

【The two walked to the door, Acheron turned to Stelle and said: "We are here."】

【Stelle opened the door, and a cute little boy who had appeared in the OP before appeared instantly, respectfully saying: "Welcome to The Reverie, wish you a memorable vacation experience! If you need to check in, please go straight to the hotel front desk..."】

【After saying this, the little boy disappeared silently, making Stelle stunned.】

【Acheron opened her mouth quietly: "Leave here, wake up like usual, forget this accidental encounter, and return to where you came from."】

【"But before parting, I have a request."】

【Stelle turned to look at Acheron, waiting for her following words.】

【I saw Acheron's expression suddenly become a bit strange, saying: "In your ears, it might be a bit strange, even rude, but I want to know..."】

【"... Have we met somewhere?"】 A line of red-marked words appeared.

【"What do you mean?"】 Stelle didn't quite understand Acheron's question that was a bit confusing.

【Acheron seemed to be pointing at something, or like recalling, subtitles with heart-stopping blood red appeared: "You remind me of an old friend. In the hazy memory, she stood side by side with me... just like this strange dreamscape, close at hand but untouchable."】

Live stream room.

"What's the matter with this blood-red marked subtitle?"

"Maybe it's important information? But I don't understand."

"I feel the atmosphere has also become more heart-palpitating with this color, is this a horror story?"

Where the Astral Express group is.

Welt Yang pondered the words of Acheron in the live stream screen with a frown and said: "This line of words marked in red should be very important information, but I don't know where it will be used yet."

Dan Heng pondered: "After all, from the current point of view, the information we have is too little."

【Acheron seemed to sigh, then said to Stelle, but this time, the blood-red subtitles finally disappeared: "I... often forget some things, so compared to recalling, I am more used 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..."】

【The next moment, the subtitles became blood red again, cooperating with Acheron's question, making people more uneasy: "Please ask, will you feel fear for losing this connection?"】

【Stelle pondered and said slowly: "If this means they leave, I will."】

【Acheron nodded slightly and continued: "Hmm... then what if there is a huge dreamscape, it is realistic enough, realistic enough to be no different from reality. There is no life and death separation there, everyone can harvest the beauty and happiness they win, and live happily forever."】

【The subtitles became blood red again: "Please ask, would you be willing to live in it?"】

【Stelle closed her eyes slightly upon hearing this and said firmly: "No matter what, I don't want to live in a dream."】

【Acheron continued to ask: "Then... what if this beautiful dream is destined to be broken, everything will leave; friends, family, strangers; then the light wind, the flying birds, the stars... finally it is yourself."】

【"Everyone, everyone in their memory, those smiles and tears, the promises made and unfulfilled... finally will head to the established end. If at the beginning of the journey, you already knew the end of this trip..."】

【The blood-red subtitles appeared again: "Please ask, would you still embark on this journey?"】

【Stelle's eyes were firm, and she said seriously: "I will trailblaze forward without hesitation."】

Live stream room.

"Too strange, the questions of this Miss Acheron, I always feel something is wrong."

"A dreamscape realistic enough to be realistic? Does it refer to Penacony?"

"Although it is said so, there are still many people in the galaxy who have given up everything in reality and live completely in the dreamscape world of Penacony."

"But it is precisely because of this that the trailblazing will of the Nameless can resound throughout the universe and be sung for the world."

"And I feel that these questions are also implying that the following Penacony journey will not be so relaxed and happy?"

"No way, this is the Star of Celebration famous in the galaxy."

"It should be safe, after all, it is the territory of Harmony, the Lord Ravager of the Another Xianzhou is already a big scene."

Where the Astral Express group is.

March 7th patted Stelle's shoulder and laughed: "Hehehe, Stelle, those answers you said were great, I was moved by them."

Stelle scratched her head and said: "I just said what was in my heart."

Dan Heng pondered: "Just, why did this Acheron ask Stelle these questions?"

"And it was marked with this dangerous blood red."

However, Welt Yang, who had experienced the Honkai disaster on Earth, looked at Acheron in the live stream screen, his expression was even stranger.

(Is that sense of déjà vu really just a similar individual in a different world?)

Welt Yang thought secretly.

【In the screen, Acheron didn't express any opinion on Stelle's answer and said calmly: "I know this is difficult, no need to rush to make a decision. I said... the answer is not important."】

【"Listen, touch, think, and you will gain feelings—cherish it, based on feelings, we make choices. So back to the initial question..."】

【The subtitles became blood red here: "Please ask... do you remember me?"】

【Stelle listened to Acheron's question and didn't answer immediately like just now...】

【Although it seems like the first meeting, Acheron doesn't look like someone who asks such irrelevant questions for no reason.】

【Then, what purpose does Acheron want to achieve?】

【Stelle pondered carefully in her mind, and after a while, she could only shake her head, silently indicating the answer.】

【Acheron nodded calmly and said: "... I understand."】

【"How interesting. Just a moment ago, it seemed like there were thousands of similar but different yous who gave completely different answers."】

Live stream room.

"Holy crap, is this breaking the fourth wall?"

"Does Acheron mean the options when different players play?"

"This is a foul, but speaking of which, there is indeed a person like Miss Acheron in reality."

"Hmm, should be, after all, this point has been confirmed in the previous plot."

"But I always feel that this mysterious woman is a bit dangerous."

"You are not alone, Acheron's appearance is too abrupt, and her attitude towards Stelle is also very strange."

【In the live stream screen, Acheron continued: "This is indeed the last question, thank you. We all have our own paths to walk, let's say goodbye here."】

【Stelle asked confusedly: "You haven't told me how to leave..."】

【Acheron answered the question irrelevantly, and said softly: "The golden dream is about to start to be restless. In the long night ahead, you will probably encounter many setbacks, witness many tragedies, and finally... what you see is only black and white."】

【But please believe that in that black and white world, there will be a little red that will pass by in a flash, and when you make a choice, it will surely appear again...】

【Acheron was holding a long sword hidden in the scabbard, walking slowly past Stelle and said:】

【In the line of sight, the gesture of Acheron holding the sword was given, giving people a sense of unease.】

【"—Then, return to the sober world." Acheron suddenly left a trail of blood tears in her eyes and said in a low voice.】

【Just when Stelle turned around and had questions, a powerful force carrying the sharpness of the blade penetrated Stelle's body.】

【The screen instantly became terrifying and weird blood red. In the shadows, Stelle's body erupted with bursts of blood, reflected as black shadows in the screen, and carried a bit of dreamlike seven colors.】

【"We will all find the answer there." Following Acheron's last sentence, Stelle's eyes were shocked, seemingly not understanding why the other party would attack herself, and finally could only fall backward powerlessly.】
