Huang Quan spoke softly, his voice almost melting into the wind.
"You're here."
"Ok?"
Bai Lian tilted her head cutely, and her silver-white braids swayed accordingly.
"Why are you suddenly saying such nonsensical things? Did you really get stunned by my snowball?"
She then raised her chin, a smug expression on her face that said, "I know my limits."
"No way! I wouldn't do something as bad as stuffing a small potato or a hard pebble inside a snowball! That was a 100% pure, natural, and harmless soft snowball!"
"...Heh~"
Looking at the girl jumping and playing happily in front of him, Huang Quan's usually cold face once again showed a clear and gentle smile.
……
While Bai Lian and Huang Quan were exchanging blows, everyone else was doing their own thing.
After taking the stomach medicine, Walter felt much better in his stomach.
As soon as the pioneering meeting ended, the slightly restless former leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance immediately re-entered the dream world.
Walter always felt that the Honkai was about to catch up with him.
Little March is right; having a super hacker on the train can indeed bring great convenience to the team.
With Bronya's assistance, Brownie has completed the deep-diving code and shared it in the group. As long as the phone is connected to the Dream Pool, the driver will automatically upload the location and coordinates.
In this way, the train crew can freely enter the deeper region located below the normal dream.
According to Xing and Xiao Sanyue, Kiana was given death by the memory domain meme in this dimension, and then entered the core area hidden beneath layers of dream dimensions.
"Should I try suicide again in this dream dimension?"
Walter leaned on his cane, adjusted his glasses, and calmly looked down into his pocket.
"All it takes is one chance."
“Even if it’s just a brief entry, by placing a positioning device inside, Brownie has a way to lock the coordinates… Ether editing is indeed convenient.”
Old Yang felt a sense of relief.
After Danheng, this family has finally welcomed another reliable young person.
As for Qiong... he's not unreliable, but his actions are often like those of an immortal, and he always manages to do things that are hard for Qiong to understand.
"Death granted by a special power... could it be similar to a black hole?"
His gaze fell on the cane, and Walter wondered if he should try to end his own life by using a mimicry black hole.
"Um!?"
Walter suddenly frowned and abruptly turned to the side—he clearly sensed a peculiar power flashing by from afar.
"This power... is very peculiar, possessing both destructive and nihilistic properties."
He moved quietly, using the surroundings to conceal himself, and stealthily approached, cautiously peering around the corner.
When the true form of that power came into view, Walter's pupils contracted.
Her long, dark purple hair, like a flowing galaxy in the dark night, cascaded down her snow-white shoulders. Her amethyst-like eyes held a languid smile, making her face alluring and charming.
A white off-shoulder dress accentuated her voluptuous curves, while black stockings encased her long, slender legs. Her glossy legs were adorned with delicate purple high heels, giving her an irresistible charm that was both innocent and alluring.
"who is it?"
Qiong Mei feigned seriousness and vigilance, holding her demon sword, and suddenly turned her head towards where Welt was.
Walter entered the coordinates set by Hatto. As Brownie, she naturally knew Old Yang's location, so she came to camp at the right time.
"Walter...?"
Old Yang stared at the familiar face before him, and the other person showed obvious surprise when they saw him, even blurting out his name.
His throat bobbed, and he pulled a glass bottle from his pocket, shook it twice, poured out two pills, and swallowed them.
Then he realized that he was dreaming; it had almost become an instinctive reaction for him.
Ugh!
With a heavy sigh, Old Yang adjusted his glasses, his tone calm and restrained, carrying his usual composure and politeness:
"Excuse me. If I'm not mistaken... you must be Raiden Mei?"
He paused briefly, then continued in a steady voice, "Would it be convenient for us to talk?"
……
Black Swan confirmed four times that Huang Quan was having a snowball fight with Kiana in his dream, completely absorbed in it as if bewitched by a succubus, before she finally dared to sneak into Huang Quan's room.
"Found it, it's this music box, the invitation the Annihilation Gang received..."
The black swan didn't dare to invade the memories of the underworld again.
However, it should be understood that a person's deeds do not belong solely to him; with a little manipulation, the deceased can also speak.
She had the audacity, a great deal of audacity, to investigate the memories of the Yellow Springs using the relics of the Obliterated Gang, whose ashes had all been scattered.
Black Swan used the power of the Memory Maker to explain, through this special invitation, what happened before the Annihilation Gang encountered the Underworld.
But when she saw Alfredo leading his offspring in high spirits, she couldn't help but show the expression of looking at a clown.
Although she also fell into the trap, at least her ending was much better than that of the Grand Duke of the Underworld!
Happiness is something you discover through comparison.
However, the process of searching for memories took a little unexpected turn: Constance, one of the offspring of Grand Duke of the Underworld, is still alive?
Unable to learn more about the other party's situation, Black Swan successfully learned the secret of Huang Quan from them.
"A veiled messenger?"
……
A VIP room in a daydream hotel within a dream.
"You should wake up, gambler."
The plaster head placed quietly to the side reflected a translucent golden light under the lamp. The man with short blue-purple hair snapped the thick book in his hand shut and took out half a piece of chalk, throwing it at the forehead of the blond man in the Dream Pool.
"Oh! I'm not your student, Professor Latio, could you please not use that trick on me?"
With a flippant smile, Sand Gold leaned back on the sofa with one arm and slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect you to be back so quickly. So... did you find anything?"
Ladio crossed his arms and said calmly:
"No, I 'killed' you with the power of intellect. The signs I observed were no different from before; there was nothing unusual."
"Oh~ I'm the same as before, I really can't die. The moment I die, I'm forcibly awakened by the Dream Pool, as if I just had a nightmare... So it seems it has nothing to do with fate."
Sand Gold casually asked:
"What about the family?"
"When I went to the Oak family to pull some strings for you, they were in a real mess."
"Oh~"
Sand Gold seemed to be deep in thought, then sighed:
"Looks like we have no choice but to put pressure on him."
He tried various methods of dying, even having travelers from different destinies kill him, but none of them could unveil the veil of death. It was still no use.
What are you planning to do?
"It's just acting out a play according to someone's script."
Sand Gold shrugged nonchalantly.
Based on his past behavior, once he decides to take an unconventional approach, he will bet everything on it, using the courage of going all in to win the applause of fate.
But for some reason, he felt somewhat uneasy this time.
The last time I felt this way was when I was a child...
According to the Tzegnesians, the Mother Goddess was warning him.
Therefore, Sand Gold's hand, which was holding the chips, was not pressed down, but rather hovered over the gambling table.
He was not lacking in courage, but he believed in his luck.
"Acting? With whom?"
Ladio narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Let's not talk about that. Professor, how about you? Did you get what you wanted?"
With one hand in his pocket, gold coins danced between his fingers.
This highly educated individual has an eccentric temperament, and he has said everything he could.
Explaining things too clearly might be seen as an insult, provoking even stronger resentment from the other party.
I've been criticized enough lately, and it's hard to imagine how knowledgeable someone must be to come up with thousands of unique criticisms without repeating themselves...
Those apprentices who became Latio's students had a really tough time!
"Hmph, the family's knowledge has some value."
After saying that, Ladio stared at the gold dust and cursed:
"idiot!"
Placer Gold: "?"
"No... Professor? Why are you suddenly swearing?"
While complaining, Sand Gold was thinking that if the professor had deemed that knowledge valuable, then it must be true.
Does your family really have that much knowledge about star cores?
I've never heard of any related projects.
Do they have one in their possession?
"Oh, or perhaps I should call you a madman, a damn gambler."
Although Ladio didn't know who Sandgold was going to act with, he had a rough idea of some of their plans.
What are you planning to do next?
Ladio asked without turning his head.
"I need to make some preliminary plans, accept the invitation from the Oak family head, and retrieve some of my belongings..."
Sand Gold smiled and countered with a question:
"What about you? You don't seem too keen on coming with me."
Ladio glanced at him, without any politeness:
"I was somewhat interested at first, but you're so stupid, I've lost interest now."
"Stop yelling, stop yelling... Hasn't any student ever told their beloved professor that being yelled at too much will make them stupid?"
"They'll be glad they only got scolded, rather than losing their lives because of it someday."
Sand Gold rubbed his earlobe and grabbed Ladio:
"My dear professor, since you've already scolded me, why don't you come with me?"
"idiot!"
Ladio cursed, but didn't shake off Sand Gold's hand.
To participate in a script, one must first regain power, or rather, that would be safer.
Moreover, the meticulous Oak family patriarch on Sunday had an almost obsessive desire for control, and Sand Gold had to ensure he had enough information without letting him notice any flaws...
Therefore, he needs Ladio's help.
Upon arriving at Chaolu PR, we went through a series of probing games before finally meeting the head of the Oak family.
