Chapter 233

March 7th looked at the live stream, stood up and slapped the table: "This Aventurine, he is really annoying."

Welt Yang's eyes sank, and he said: "Anyway, no matter what Aventurine plans, we must never let Stelle get hurt."

Stelle scratched her head and nodded movedly.

【Aventurine didn't seem to expect Stelle to give him an answer immediately, smiled and said: "You don't have to answer me now, thinking also takes time. When the time is ripe, I will naturally come to find you."】

【"Of course, you can also discuss it with your companions, or even use me in turn. I welcome it—because this is also showing me your value."】

【When talking about using himself, Aventurine's expression didn't change, as if he was just saying something trivial. Obviously, Aventurine didn't care about this point.】

【"I never do loss-making business. I hope you 【friends】... don't let me down."】

Live Stream Room.

"Aventurine, this guy, really looks like a businessman who only cares about profit and loss and has no emotions."

"So, is this the truth under Aventurine's golden appearance?"

"Although uncomfortable, I have to say, such people are very tricky as enemies and opponents."

Where the Astral Express crew is located.

Welt Yang said in a deep voice: "This Aventurine, seemingly discussing, but his words carry a faint sense of oppression, as if he is forcing Stelle to make a choice."

Dan Heng nodded: "Anyway, this is not an easy man."

【Stelle listened to Aventurine's words, was silent for a moment, and said: "I cannot make decisions on my own."】

【Aventurine smiled confidently: "I said, don't rush to answer, because anyway... the result will not change."】

【After saying that, Aventurine walked towards the door, and suddenly seemed to remember something.】

【Aventurine stopped and said: "Oh right, before I leave, let's play another game. It's very simple, guess which hand the chip is in—consider it getting to know each other, so you can better understand my personality and way of doing things..."】

【While Aventurine was speaking, he turned to look at Stelle. Suddenly, ding—a chip was thrown into the air, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared. Replacing it were two tightly clenched hands, held in front of Stelle.】

【Aventurine looked at the thoughtful Stelle and said calmly: "Left or right? Get ready—I'm going to reveal the answer."】

【"... Oh, it seems I haven't asked you which side you choose yet. But it doesn't matter, because—"】

【"Friend, the game has already started."】

【As Aventurine stepped forward, a chip flew from Aventurine's right fingertip and fell into his left hand, disappearing.】

【"Make a deal with me, you can't refuse..."】

【Aventurine walked towards Stelle, his expression carrying deep oppression and confidence, slowly opening his hands, but they were empty.】

【Stelle was shocked, noticed something strange in her hand, and opened her right palm, only to see a chip in her palm.】

【"There is no reason... and no room for maneuver."】

【Aventurine walked in front of Stelle, who was still surprised, took off his glasses, and stared at Stelle with those beautiful blue-purple eyes.】

【The invisible pressure reached its peak at this moment. Stelle's expression was flustered, she wanted to move her body, but felt her hands and feet stiffen, making it difficult to move.】

【Just at this moment, a sudden sound interrupted Aventurine's behavior and also let Stelle get rid of Aventurine's aura suppression.】

【The two looked at the sound and saw Acheron's figure had appeared at the room door.】

【"Hey." Acheron's eyes revealed dissatisfaction, and she said a surprising sentence: "What are you doing in my room?"】

Live Stream Room.

"Phew—finally relaxed. Aventurine's appearance just now was too stressful!"

"But Acheron's appearance was unexpected."

"I'm a bit confused, whose room is this?"

"The room says, I want to know too."

"I'm confused too. Sunday said the room type was upgraded to compensate the Astral Express crew for the front desk matter, but Aventurine said it was mediated by him, and Acheron also said this room is hers? What is the situation?"

【"... Your room?"】

【Aventurine looked at Acheron's figure at the door, his expression slightly stunned, then looked at Stelle and smiled: "... Amazing, friend. You haven't been in Penacony for long, and you've already learned to invite people to join in."】

【"Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to remind you—this place is a mix of fish and dragons, and there are too many guys with bad intentions. Remember to be more careful, for example... remember to close the door."】

【"Then I'll go first, Stelle! Wish you a happy time."】

On the Astral Express, Pom-Pom stomped her little feet and said indignantly: "You guy are the one with bad intentions, Pom."】

Himeko watched the live stream and said in a deep voice: "This Aventurine, in order to help the IPC recover Penacony, is he trying to use the power of the Stellaron as a chip?"】

Pom-Pom exclaimed: "No, the Stellaron is very dangerous, and it might even harm passenger Stelle, Pom."】

Himeko smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, conductor. Since we know the other party's plan, we have the opportunity to respond. We will definitely not let the situation develop like that."】

【Aventurine said, stopped staying, and left the room. Acheron looked at Stelle, silent, as if waiting for something.】

【Stelle also looked at Acheron's appearance and dress, only feeling a bit familiar.】

【At this time, Stelle's memory of everything in the dream was also a bit blurred.】

【Stelle wondered: "Have we met somewhere..."】

【Acheron said clearly: "... Why haven't you left yet?"】

【"... Ah?" This made Stelle confused.】

【Acheron continued: "I said, why haven't you left yet?"】

【Suddenly, Acheron seemed to react and said: "... Did I go to the wrong place? This shouldn't be. Before I disturbed you, I confirmed the room number repeatedly..."】 (Blood red subtitles)

【Acheron pondered: "Could it be the room area... no, the building number is also wrong? Sorry, this hotel is too big, and the corridor layout is very similar. If you are not careful, you will lose your way..."】 (Blood red subtitles)

Live Stream Room.

"Uh, so... Acheron is lost?"

"No way, this excuse is a bit too bad. Don't forget that Acheron gave the Trailblazer a slash before."

"Sigh, there are too many unknowns in Penacony. What Aventurine said just now is also right: this place is a mix of fish and dragons, and there are too many people with bad intentions."

And it's these blood-red subtitles again, I'm a bit panicked.

【Stelle listened to Acheron's words, but felt a strange feeling.】

【Acheron said at this time: "Anyway, it's good that you are safe. I should go back to my room too."】

【"But before I leave, can I ask you one more question? It might sound a bit strange or even rude to you, but I want to know..."】

【"... Where have we met?"】

【"Maybe in a dream..." Stelle pondered.】

【Acheron also realized: "... Right, it's 【Dream】. On the way here, I had a dream, and there seemed to be your figure in that dream... It seems that some thought flashed through my mind..."】 (Red subtitles)

【"Stelle—this is your name, right? Very happy to meet you."】

【Stelle said in surprise: "You still remember me?"】

【Acheron smiled gently: "You forgot, that's what that gentleman said before he left. My memory is not very good, but I won't forget what happened a few minutes ago."】

【Acheron introduced herself: "Galaxy Ranger, Acheron... This is how they call me, you can use it as you like. We should meet again."】 (Red subtitles)

【"Finally, just a shallow piece of advice... There is a type of person who possesses the will and belief to die for their cause, but does not intend to use it for the right path. And on that gentleman's face, I saw a familiar expression."】

Live Stream Room.

"Whether Aventurine has the will and belief to die for his cause, I don't know, but the performance of not using it for the right path can be seen."

"And from the current point of view, Aventurine's purpose is to help the IPC recover Penacony."

"It's just that the Family will definitely not give up."

"This depends on how it develops later."

"But I am more concerned about Acheron. In the conversation just now, the subtitles turned blood red several times again. I always feel it's not that simple."

"I also have a premonition that these blood-red subtitles will definitely be connected to the present later, but I don't know what the situation will be."

【In the plot of the live stream, only hearing Acheron continue: "If you carry a knife, you must use it to cut something down. And a gambler will definitely burn his bridges and put all his eggs in one basket before losing everything... I can only say this much."】

【Acheron turned around and said with hidden meaning: "Before making a choice, you should know these things. Farewell."】

【After watching Acheron leave, Stelle pondered: (Acheron went back... Strange, I always feel a subtle feeling just now...)】

Ask for flowers

【(Forget it. Although there are twists and turns, now I can finally enter the dream... Hmm?)】

【Suddenly, Stelle looked at Acheron who had returned, smiled, and said: "Reunion comes so fast."】

【Acheron sighed in a deep voice, helplessly: "Sorry, can you tell me how to get back to the lobby? The corridors around here are really too similar..."】
