"I feel that when Boothill is around, the atmosphere becomes cheerful."

"But Boothill also makes sense; offending the Path of The Hunt is no joke."

"But from the previous PV and plot of Miss Acheron, she indeed has some reason to impersonate a Galaxy Ranger."

【Listening to Boothill's words, Following Dan Heng said: "You think such a person using the name of a Galaxy Ranger has ulterior motives."】

【Boothill denied: "I didn't conclude that, I just think it's suspicious. Maybe she really knows a Galaxy Ranger, or maybe she wants to lure us out for some reason... I don't know."】

【Following Dan Heng pondered: "I am still more concerned about the anomaly of the Family. Because of this festival, walkers of more than a dozen paths have been summoned to Penacony. No matter how inclusive the Family is, they wouldn't make such an abnormal move."】

【"Unless the invitation wasn't sent by them, then the Family still insisting on holding the Charmony Festival in this situation... is even more intriguing."】

Stelle said gently beside March 7th: "But you are angry."】

"Is this the brain of a smart person? Teacher Following Dan Heng, please accept my bow."

"As Following Dan Heng who has been on the Express and hasn't entered the dreamscape, being able to think of these, I have to say that apart from Himeko and Mr. Welt, Following Dan Heng is the most reliable in the Express crew."

"March 7th and Stelle indicate that this is not funny."

"Hahahaha, this hurt their feelings a bit."

【Regarding Following Dan Heng's speculation, Boothill also had his own inference: "Maybe all this is the instruction of 【Harmony】 Xipe. You think this is unreasonable, that's because humans can't do it."】

【"Humans will do stupid things when they are irrational, and will believe in things they know they shouldn't believe in. Damn it, humans will even break the rules they just set!"】

【"But Aeons won't. Aeons will only walk one path to the end, never looking back even if they hit a wall—and won't look back even after hitting it!"】

【Following Dan Heng said: "You think the will of Xipe is pushing behind this incident?"】

【Boothill shook his head and said: "Not necessarily Her, but there must be some metaphysical will at work. Don't say I'm pessimistic; if human free will is credible, then what do we need Galaxy Rangers for?"】

【"Attributing everything to Aeons and Paths makes things less complicated. Just like Lan is always walking on the path of 【The Hunt】, just like Akivili, although whereabouts unknown, the Express is already driving on the path of Trailblaze, never going off track."】

【Following Dan Heng lowered his eyebrows and pondered: "But I think the fall of Akivili is also a precious legacy She left for the Nameless."】

【Boothill said: "Oh, I guess it's because after losing the 【absolutely correct】 leader, the Nameless must be responsible for their own choices?"】

【Following Dan Heng nodded: "Yes. I think the meaning of the journey is not to walk on an 【absolutely correct】 path..."】

【"But to try one's best to choose the 【path suitable for oneself】 among countless paths, relying on one's limited knowledge and judgment."】

【Boothill agreed: "Although I don't know what you have experienced, I agree that people must be responsible for themselves; no one can do it for them."】

【"And precisely because of this, the Galaxy Rangers must personally find that imposter... and figure out what she really wants to do."】

The place where the Astral Express crew is located.

March 7th watched the conversation between Boothill and Following Dan Heng in the game plot and said unexpectedly: "This Boothill doesn't look as careless as he seems?"

Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and said: "People who can become Galaxy Rangers and survive to this day are definitely not as rude and reckless as they look."

March 7th nodded, and then said speechlessly: "But this Boothill, I always feel that some 【amazing words】 will pop out of his mouth from time to time."

【After another period of time, Boothill continued: "Just in case, if that Memokeeper still doesn't appear, I have a backup plan... this is the last one."】

【Following Dan Heng complained in a calm tone: "You really have a lot of backup plans."】

【Looking around, Boothill said: "I'm actually not good at beating around the bush. If I can go back to my old job, many things will become much simpler."】

【"Brother Following Dan Heng, you walked around the hotel before, did you see any guests, or which guests... have a more noble status."】

【Following Dan Heng suddenly had a bad premonition and asked: "... What do you want to do?"】

【Boothill smiled mysteriously and whispered: "It's very simple, how to quietly tie up a few hostages, and then everything will be easy to handle. They can be used to negotiate with the Family, or their identities can be taken—"】

【Following Dan Heng refused decisively and said: "No need, let's return to the Express now."】

【Boothill provoked excitedly: "What! Are you afraid, brother? Take out your gun, we're going to do something big!"】

The livestream room.

"No, Boothill, your backup plan is this?"

"I feel that if this continues, the reputation of the Nameless will really hit rock bottom."

"The Galaxy Rangers are the same, okay? What about the bottom line of 【not bullying the weak】?"

"Should be hovering on the edge of the bottom line, but this is a bit unrealistic."

"God-tier 'do something big', I really doubt what Boothill's side job was?"

"Looking at the PV, it seems to be something like a bounty hunter."

"I remember now, in the PV he even dared to go head-to-head with the IPC, let alone tying up a few people here. I can only say Boothill is worthy of being Boothill. He can always say and do things that make us feel dark before our eyes."

"Following Dan Heng wanted to return to the Express immediately after hearing Boothill's words. I guess it's also because if Boothill continues to play, the Nameless might repeat the fate of Belobog and be wanted."

"A perfectly cold and handsome guy, Following Dan Heng is probably about to be forced into a complaining role by Boothill."

"And Boothill's 'do something big' was a bit too loud."

"This is called 'loudly conspiring'..."

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Divination Commission.

Qingque looked at the plot on her phone, her mouth twitched, and she said: "Master Diviner, you are knowledgeable, are all Galaxy Rangers such strange people?"

Fu Xuan snorted coldly and said: "How would this seat know? There are many Galaxy Rangers, and it's no surprise that there are a few outliers."

Qingque said helplessly: "It's just that this outlier happened to meet the people of the Astral Express."

【In the plot, just as Following Dan Heng and Boothill were arguing, the bartender Anderson suddenly stepped forward and said: "Are you two leaving? Then should the Asdana White Oak you just ordered be canceled?"】

【Hearing this, Boothill couldn't help but be surprised and confused: "... Ah? Asdana White Oak? But didn't you just say..."】

【Bartender Anderson said: "Haha, it seems you two are a bit drunk. Just half a minute ago, you just ordered a bottle of Asdana White Oak from me."】

【Hearing this, Following Dan Heng also looked at Boothill and whispered: "It seems... your Memokeeper friend has come to find you."】

【Boothill also understood, took this bottle of Asdana White Oak, and left a line of words on the bottle—】

【【I'm waiting for you on the Astral Express】.】

【Obviously, Black Swan also understood that the hotel was not safe and wanted to find a place to hide from the public eye.】

【After returning to the Astral Express, Pom-Pom walked up and said: "You're back? Two people came on board earlier, saying they wanted to find Passenger Boothill. I let them wait in the Parlor Car now, Pom."】

【Boothill chuckled and said: "Oh! Just in time."】

【However, Following Dan Heng noticed something wrong and pondered: "... Two people?"】

【At this time, Black Swan slowly revealed her figure and walked out.】

【Pom-Pom also looked at Black Swan and said: "It's her. Although the Astral Express welcomes every passenger, sneaking in one by one... aren't you taking yourselves too much as insiders, Pom!"】

【Black Swan glanced at the entrance of the Garden of Recollection in the corner of the Parlor Car, suddenly realized, and then apologized to Pom-Pom: "I'm sorry, Express Conductor, it was my lack of etiquette, mistakenly thinking that the Express was already very familiar with the Garden of Recollection..."】

The livestream room.

"Holy crap, I almost forgot, there is someone from the Garden of Recollection on the Astral Express."

"Good guy, the previous Garden of Recollection event has been connected to the main plot."

"So Black Swan saw that there were companions from the Garden of Recollection, so she thought the Express Conductor and the others were very familiar with the Garden of Recollection, and only now realized that they don't have any memories about the Garden of Recollection and Memokeepers other than herself?"

"That should be it."

"I also remember, when doing this event before, if you choose to tell the companions on the Express about the Garden of Recollection and the Memokeepers, the relevant memories will be cleared."

"Hehehe, but Pom-Pom complaining is also very cute."

【Black Swan continued: "At present, the situation in Penacony is intricate and complicated, and only you Nameless are worth trusting."】

【After a little small talk, Boothill said directly: "You really made me look for you, Memokeeper! I'll get straight to the point, tell me everything you know."】

【Black Swan nodded slightly and said: "That is my intention. But before that, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Black Swan, a Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection. And about the story of that Lady Acheron..."】

【"Perhaps she knows better than I do."】

【As Black Swan spoke, Acheron stepped out from behind, making everyone present, especially Boothill, react intensely.】

【Acheron looked at Following Dan Heng and Boothill and greeted them calmly: "Hello, you two, I am Acheron."】

【Seeing Acheron appear, Boothill immediately said angrily: "What?! Damn it—you from the Garden of Recollection, you betrayed me?!"】 ===== CHAPTER 341 =====
