Chapter 276

"Damn, who is driving here? Fork them out."

"I feel like Acheron is completely suppressed by Black Swan. I didn't expect that these two, who haven't suffered any losses since their debut, finally decided the winner here."

"As a Memokeeper, Black Swan's methods are the hardest to guard against. Even a Masked Fool like Sparkle suffered a loss. Sure enough, Miss Black Swan is the most powerful!"

"Miss Black Swan is the most powerful!"

"Miss Black Swan is the most powerful!"

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Seat of Divine Foresight.

Lieutenant Yanqing watches the short film and doesn't notice anything unusual for a moment.

But Jing Yuan still discovers the unusual part and ponders: "This Memokeeper, is she using the Memokeeper's ability to probe Acheron's memories?"

Lieutenant Yanqing hears this, scratches his head, and says with some surprise: "Ah, doing this, isn't it too good?"

【With the increasingly coordinated dance steps and music, Black Swan looks at Acheron, who is close at hand, and laughs lightly: "Gradually improving, isn't it?"】

【"Everyone has a past, and the past creates the present."】

【"Some people can grasp memories, while others are entangled by memories, unable to escape."】

【With the movement of Acheron and Black Swan's dance steps, their figures are graceful. Under the Memokeeper's ability, patches of dreamy purple aura turn into scenes under the two.】

【That seems to be the various fragments Acheron has experienced in the past. Every scene, every fragment, has Acheron's shadow.】

【"So I made a move."】

【"I want to know, which one is she?"】

【In the scene, the music reaches the stage of variation and softening. Under Black Swan's palm, Acheron performs an even larger backbend, which is astonishing.】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

In a teahouse where players gather.

"Is this Acheron's past memory?"

"Having this way of presentation is really imaginative."

"But Acheron isn't weak, right? Hasn't she noticed Black Swan's intention yet?"

"Only Acheron can know this."

"But I remember Acheron saying her memory isn't very good. Maybe she forgot many things before, and is just taking this opportunity to remember them?"

"Uh... seems quite reasonable."

Where the Astral Express crew is located.

March 7th says subconsciously: "They dance so well."

"Uh... no, no, that's not the point. If this continues, Miss Acheron's memories will be completely seen through by Black Swan. It's a bit too much."

Stelle nods in cooperation. As the amnesia duo, both are obviously unhappy with this kind of wanton prying into others' memories.

Penacony.

Clock Studios Theme Park.

The "Clockie" animation production team.

Many people watch the scenes in the short film and exclaim: "This art style, this movement, it's truly stunning."

"This is different from the art style of the 'Clockie' animation, but we can draw suitable techniques from it to make the 'Clockie' animation go further."

"That's right. I really want to communicate with the producer of this short film once. Whether it's music, light and shadow, movement, or image quality, it's almost impeccable. It's great."

【The music hasn't stopped yet, and Acheron and Black Swan's dance steps naturally continue.】

【In their graceful and beautiful dance, Black Swan's voice says calmly: "This banquet has attracted many people: the IPC, the Garden of Recollection, the Fools, the Nameless, and—"】

【"The Annihilation Gang of Destruction."】

【"They should have kept the appointment, but—Duke Inferno is dead."】

【"He and his descendants will never attend the banquet again."】

【"Beautiful Ranger, what did you do?!"】

【In the dancing and spinning, Black Swan's voice suddenly becomes low, and her gaze gazes at Acheron, seemingly wanting to see a clue in Acheron's eyes.】

Livestream room.

"Oh right, it was said before that Duke Inferno and the Ever-Flame Mansion he established also received the invitation letter issued by Penacony."

"And from Aventurine, we learned that this invitation letter seems to have been intercepted by Acheron from Duke Inferno."

"And the unlucky Duke Inferno and his Ever-Flame Mansion also collapsed under Acheron's hands."

"So, is Black Swan trying to find the truth about the destruction of the Ever-Flame Mansion and the death of Duke Inferno from Acheron's memories?"

"Speaking of the truth, I remember Black Swan playing the detective in Sparkle's companion mission before."

"Now it seems that Acheron also seems to have been probed for memories by Black Swan using the Memokeeper's ability, and she couldn't stop it."

Somewhere unknown in the universe.

Sparkle watches Black Swan's words and actions in the short film. A trace of thought quickly flashes in those beautiful eyes, and then she reveals a brilliant smile. Even the tear mole under her eyes is cheering and jumping: "Memokeeper, I have a premonition that something very interesting will happen next."

【In the scene, with Black Swan's exploration of Acheron's memories, she arrives at a black, white, and gray world.】

【The fire demons of Taufet seem to have lost their color, falling into the boundless abyss.】

【Only Duke Inferno's monocle is the only color in this world.】

【It falls continuously and finally occupies the entire screen. In a piece of blood red, Acheron's back, holding a sword, appears before everyone's eyes.】

【As this back slowly turns around, in the gaps of the flying hair, Acheron's eyes flash with dangerous light, and she says slowly: —】

【"Excuse me, are you asking me?"】

【At this moment, Black Swan seems to have seen something extremely shocking and terrifying. The originally elegant and calm demeanor disappears in an instant, and her face is full of horror and panic.】

【And in the scene, perhaps because she probed into the depths of memory.】

【Acheron's image at this moment is already very different from before. Not only the blood-red light in her eyes, but that purple hair has also turned into a full head of white hair.】

【With the change of music rhythm, Acheron and Black Swan's dance steps and postures also change, as if switching between offense and defense.】

Livestream room.

"Damn, I feel like something big is coming."

"Acheron like this has a dangerous feeling."

"But I like it even more. What should I do?"

"It's okay, same here."

"But Black Swan's look, hahahaha, I really didn't expect her to show such a panicked look."

"I'm curious, what did Miss Black Swan see in Acheron's memories?"

"Me too. If it weren't for an extremely important and dangerous scene, how could the originally calm, steady, elegant, and dignified Miss Black Swan become like this?"

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Divination Commission.

Qingque looks at the unusual look in the short film and says with surprise: "Master Diviner, what exactly did Miss Black Swan discover in Miss Acheron's memories?"

Fu Xuan rolls her eyes at Qingque: "Do you really think I am omniscient, Qingque?"

"This is obviously something in the depths of Acheron's memory. Black Swan obviously triggered the power in the memory."

"As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting die in battle, and those who are good at swimming drown in water. Black Swan was too confident in her ability as a Memokeeper, which is why she faced such a situation."

【The music becomes sharp and rapid, revealing a dangerous atmosphere. In the desolate blood-red space in the memory, Black Swan is full of panic, seemingly wanting to escape, but is intercepted by Acheron's dance steps, dancing to the music in the deep sea of memory.】

【In Acheron's memory world, blood-red light fills the world, reflecting Black Swan and Acheron in a dark red light.】

【Acheron's face and gaze become increasingly dangerous. In the music, the dance becomes increasingly crazy. In the memory world, as Acheron continuously plucks Black Swan's body, it is as if she is plucking feathers from poultry.】

【The rhythm of the music becomes increasingly rapid and sharp, and Acheron's demeanor becomes increasingly terrifying and dangerous, while Black Swan is shocked and has no power to fight back in Acheron's memory world.】

【The music gradually goes crazy, and the dance steps become increasingly intense. Behind Acheron and Black Swan's dance, memory reveals Acheron's memory and the implied imagery of this dance with Black Swan in a very stream-of-consciousness way.】

【With pieces of feathers plucked off and flesh eroded time and time again, the swan representing Black Swan's imagery finally becomes a swan skeleton with its feathers plucked and flesh devoured.】

Livestream room.

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Is this... Miss Black Swan being eaten by Miss Acheron?"

"A bit of a heart-pounding horror. My heartbeat has accelerated a lot."
