~7 min read 1,330 words

"Hmm, then that's it, brother, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Robin."

After hanging up the phone, Sunday let out a long sigh, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

And on the other side.

On an unknown planet.

Robin looked at the hung-up phone, a look of worry flashing in her eyes.

"Brother, are you hiding something?"

It wasn't just Sunday; as his sister, Robin also understood Sunday's personality extremely well.

Although Sunday hadn't shown any flaws during the call just now, Robin still felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly, Robin felt a sense of unfamiliarity with her hometown, Penacony, from somewhere she didn't know.

【And on the other side, in the Golden Hour.】

【Sunday stood at the best viewing spot that Firefly had mentioned before, silently looking at the Penacony Grand Theater in the distance.】

【Just then, whether he felt something or not, Sunday let out an impatient sigh.】

【Afterward, everyone saw Robin, who had been murdered and dissipated into bubbles, appear here.】

【She greeted Sunday: "Brother, I'm back."】

The livestream chat.

"This, this, this, this, this... am I seeing things or am I seeing a ghost?"

"Wait, did you notice? Where Robin's name should have been displayed, there are three question marks."

"Could it be that this Robin is fake?"

"And Mr. Sunday's expression is also very strange. In short, he doesn't look like he has seen his sister."

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Seat of Divine Foresight.

Lieutenant Yanqing held his phone, looking at the reappearing Robin, and also noticed something wrong.

"Is this Miss Robin the real Robin?"

Jing Yuan gently stroked his chin and said, "Lieutenant Yanqing, remember? Someone who appeared before had also impersonated others."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Yanqing instantly thought of the figure of a girl in a red dress: "Could it be her!"

Some players gathered together and also faintly felt that something was wrong.

This Robin appeared too strangely.

Vaguely, some people guessed the true identity of this Robin, but they still couldn't be sure until it was revealed.

Immediately, with an angry look, they said: "Impersonating a close relative who has passed away in front of others, this kind of behavior is disgusting and despicable."

【And in the livestream screen, Sunday seemed to talk to Robin as usual: "... Welcome back. How is the performance preparation going?"】

【Robin responded with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry."】

【"【Okay】? Sunday's gaze condensed, he shook his head gently and said: "Hmm, that's not good... You are the pride of the Family, don't let those superfluous emotions affect your perfect melody."】

【Seemingly because Sunday's accusation made his sister sad, Robin said with a somewhat lonely look: "I... I know."】

【Immediately, Robin seemed to be changing the subject, or perhaps investigating something, and asked: "Brother, you look a bit depressed... What happened? Is it those guests who received the 【Watchmaker】's invitation?"】

【Sunday stood with his back to Robin. In a place where the person behind him couldn't see, Sunday's eyes closed slightly, and he said quietly: "Yes, I received a report... 【Death】 has taken some of them. Perhaps it was instigated by someone."】

【Speaking of this, Sunday smiled and said: "Ah, sorry. I forgot you just came back, you shouldn't know about this."】

【Afterward, Sunday explained: "I don't know when it started, but a nightmare named 【Death】 descended on Penacony. It attacks people indiscriminately, bringing spiritual death equally to everyone..."】

【"But in the sweet dream built by the Family, no misfortune should happen. It has destroyed the order and peace of the dreamscape in its eyes... How hateful."】

【Robin said worriedly: "Such a thing actually happened, then... has someone else been murdered?"】

【Sunday's figure gradually became sad and low as he said: "Hmm, there are two. One stowaway, and..."】

【"... You."】

【Behind Sunday, Robin's lips parted slightly, seemingly very surprised.】

【At this time, only Sunday's tone was heard getting colder: "That's enough, Fool. Your actions make my heart cold."】

【Following this sentence, Sparkle lifted Robin's disguise, revealed her true face, and let out a chuckle: "You are very sharp, Wing-Boy."】

The livestream chat.

"It really is Sparkle. I thought she would keep hiding it."

"But Sparkle doing this is a bit too malicious."

"It's also because Sunday noticed that the person beside him wasn't his sister, so Sparkle directly lifted the disguise."

"After all, they are siblings with deep feelings. For a close relative who is familiar with them, a slight difference will make people find flaws."

"There is another reason. From Sunday's words, he already knew the news of Miss Robin's murder, right?"

"Sigh, this must also be a huge blow to Sunday."

"But, Wing-Boy? Pfft—sorry, although it's a bit impolite, forgive me for not being able to help laughing."

"Speaking of which, Sparkle's ability to give nicknames is quite recognizable. There's also Aventurine's little peacock."

The place where the Astral Express crew was located.

March 7th slapped the table and said angrily: "This Sparkle is too much. Impersonating Miss Robin in front of Sunday, is there anything more heart-wrenching than this?"

Welt Yang, Dan Heng, and Stelle were also somewhat unhappy about this, their brows slightly furrowed.

Welt Yang said: "Most of the Masked Fools are such a group of people. For their own fun, they never care about other people's feelings. That's why people avoid them."

March 7th hummed and looked at her companions: "If someone impersonated you in front of me, I would also be very angry."

Dan Heng said in a deep voice: "And in Sunday's words, regarding that Memory Zone Meme, it seems to be called 【Death】. Did it appear in Penacony out of nowhere?"

March 7th said lonely: "In this way, does it mean that Miss Firefly and Miss Robin... are really dead?"

If it was said that because they were in a dreamscape at the beginning, there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, but now, in Sunday's words, this hope had been ruthlessly crushed.

【Sunday turned around and looked at Sparkle, saying coldly: "The 'Charmony Ode' does not deceive me—【The words of a fool start with foolishness and end with the arrogance of wickedness】..."】

【"... Please return. His dreamscape does not welcome you."】

【Sparkle seemed not to see Sunday's expression and said with a relaxed and leisurely attitude: "Oh my, don't pull such a long face~ You are even quoting classics seriously, why be so serious?"】

【"I just want to ask—now that it has come to this, is the Family still not planning to make a move? Your poor sister has already sacrificed, you know?"】

【Sparkle wore a faint smile, stared at Sunday, and said softly: "You... don't you want to avenge her?"】

【Sunday's gaze flashed with sadness and sharpness, and he said in a deep voice: "It is not yet the time. When the destined day arrives, I will surely execute judgment according to righteousness."】

"Ah this... suddenly feel that Sparkle is very punchable." A player playing to this point, hearing Sparkle's words, felt the force of holding the phone increase unconsciously.

The friend beside him expressed: "Your feeling is not wrong. In this situation, poking at people's pain points is a bit too much."

"I think Mr. Sunday's cultivation is really good. He didn't make a move even then."

"The head of the Oak Family, kid, how could someone who can lead a force lose their cool because of emotions."

"I finally understand why the leaders of those forces are so calm. Without this cultivation, you might not be able to do this position well."

"I also finally understand why the reputation of the Masked Fools is what it is today. Although I also like to watch fun, this kind of fun doesn't suit my taste."

"After all, those people in the Masked Fools, as long as it's fun, they don't refuse anyone."

"Didn't Sparkle say she wouldn't enter the game before? Why is she stabbing with a soft knife here?"

"Not entering the game doesn't mean not fanning the flames, right?"

"The Masked Fools are like this."
