Chapter 220: If I can stop one heart from breaking! Firefly's "Entropy Loss Syndrome" is brought to light!
Exalting Sanctum Square.
After sending a message to Sampo.
Sparkle revealed a carefree, unscrupulous smile.
Although she was indeed a Masked Fool, she never labeled herself as belonging to any particular faction or alignment.
The only thing she pursued was pure entertainment!
And besides the fun on the internet.
She had discovered a new source of amusement here on the Xianzhou Luofu!
The square was crowded.
Many players were gathered in front of the giant screen in the center, watching the live stream.
They were arguing and exchanging ideas intensely.
It was just like a music festival.
Very lively.
But in a corner.
A man stood out, looking entirely out of place.
He was there eating snacks.
Beside him was a beautiful woman accompanying him.
As soon as the woman left to buy water,
Sparkle instantly appeared in front of the man.
Looking at him with a meaningful gaze.
"Yo, yo, yo, not bad."
"You actually managed to abduct a famous celebrity from the galaxy?"
Lin Yu smiled slightly: "What famous celebrity? I don't know what you're talking about?"
Sparkle leaned in.
Almost pressing against Lin Yu's face.
"Don't play dumb. My 'foolish' eyes never miss."
Then.
A hint of a smile suddenly appeared in her plum-blossom-shaped pupils.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to break you two up; I'm here to join you."
"Let me think about what kind of fun we can have…"
"How about we pretend Robin was harmed and send a scam text to Sunday?"
"Once he rushes over in a panic, we'll notify the reporters…"
"That way, everyone will know the siblings have arrived at the Luofu."
"By then… I really look forward to seeing the expression on that 'chicken-wing boy'!"
Clearly, Sparkle's target for fun this time was Sunday.
Lin Yu shook his head slightly.
"Too small, your perspective is too narrow."
"That's a bit of fun, but not much."
"And it ends up a bit flat, like a fine wine that leaves no aftertaste—it's undoubtedly a failed work."
Hearing Lin Yu say this,
Sparkle folded her arms in defiance.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Then tell me, what's your plan?"
Lin Yu put his arm around Sparkle's shoulder.
Pulling her a little closer.
He whispered, "Do you know where the situation is most tense right now?"
"—Penacony."
"Ever since Acheron's identity was exposed by Feathered Spirit, forces across the universe have set their sights there."
"Many factions have already marked Acheron as the most threatening entity."
"But… the real big boss of Penacony isn't Acheron."
"It is…"
Lin Yu stopped halfway, deliberately keeping her in suspense.
Sparkle's eyes lit up with excitement.
Clearly, this content was very interesting to her!
"Tell me, tell me!"
"Don't keep me hanging!"
"Don't act like those damn riddle-mongers!"
Lin Yu took the opportunity to pat Sparkle's head.
"It's not that I won't tell you, but this content is from a future version of Honkai: Star Rail."
"Let me leak some insider information to you…"
Lin Yu sent a video to Sparkle.
Sparkle previewed it briefly.
First, surprise.
Then, it turned into pleasant surprise!
Finally, it was a look of "I knew it!"
"I've long suspected the Family had something to hide."
"Now it seems, as expected!"
"Leaking this video will absolutely blow up Penacony!!"
Sparkle was very excited.
However.
Her expression suddenly changed.
Her eyes stared straight at Lin Yu.
"By the way… you were actually able to steal such big news from Feathered Spirit?"
"This is beyond the scope of a mere insider!"
"Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Feathered Spirit!?"
"Guess~"
At this moment, Robin, who had gone to buy water, returned.
Seeing Sparkle tugging at Lin Yu's sleeve,
She immediately looked puzzled.
"Uh… Lin Yu… are, are you okay?"
"Do you need any help?"
Seeing this, Sparkle knew that if she continued, she would seem unreasonable.
She had just gotten this huge scoop from Lin Yu.
She had to find a place to think it over carefully!
She had to drop this bombshell at the most appropriate moment!
Immediately, she skipped away from the vicinity.
Lin Yu straightened his clothes.
He explained: "That's my distant cousin, sorry if she embarrassed you."
"Haha, it's okay, I feel like she's actually quite cute."
"And why do I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"
Robin tapped her own head.
She couldn't recall.
She smiled helplessly.
Handed the water she bought to Lin Yu.
"This is the Soda Douzhi I bought at the vending machine; I heard it's a specialty drink here on the Luofu."
Lin Yu: "…"
Just then, the players in the square suddenly burst into cheers!
A moving melody rang out from the speakers around the square.
Robin was slightly startled.
This music was actually her song—"Hope Is the Thing With Feathers"!
Robin immediately pulled Lin Yu forward!
The surrounding players were also very excited.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
"This intro…"
"My DNA is reacting just hearing it!"
"I can't hold it together once the BGM starts!"
"It's Miss Robin's 'Hope Is the Thing With Feathers'!"
"Holy crap! I never thought I'd live to hear Miss Robin's song in Honkai: Star Rail! My life is complete!"
"My favorite episode!"
"Thank you, Robin!"
"This scene paired with this music is just too beautiful!"
"I want to fall in love, woooo…"
Robin herself didn't expect that her song would be used in Feathered Spirit's game!
At this moment, she wasn't thinking about copyright or royalties…
Instead, she felt incredibly honored and excited!
She even pulled Lin Yu's hand with a bit more force!
"That's great!"
"Robin's song actually appeared in Star Rail!"
"This must mean Feathered Spirit approves of her songs!"
Lin Yu looked at the big screen.
Thinking to himself that Guinaifen was progressing through the story quite fast!
Reaching the rooftop of the Reverie already.
Suddenly, something soft bumped into his chest.
Beside his ear, Robin's voice came.
"Thank you…"
"Meeting you, and going on this journey with you."
"This is really incredible to me…"
In the square.
With the clean and pure singing voice.
"Hope Is the Thing With Feathers" gradually reached its climax.
Other couples couldn't help but hug each other in this atmosphere.
However.
No one knew.
The author of the song—Robin.
Was one of the audience members down below right now!
As a player equal to everyone else, deeply nestled in her partner's arms.
...
Astral Express.
Inside the carriage.
"Hope Is the Thing With Feathers" was also echoing.
March 7th's gaze seemed to be melting.
"Wow…"
"I didn't feel it was this moving when I listened to this song before…"
"Now paired with the plot of Honkai: Star Rail."
"This song was completely created for this moment and atmosphere!"
On the screen.
Firefly was standing at the edge of the rooftop.
And finally revealed her true identity…
"I'm sorry, I really am a stowaway."
"My hometown was destroyed a long time ago, maybe it was the Legion, or maybe the Swarm… I'm an interstellar refugee, just like many of the locals on Penacony."
"The Harmony embraces everyone, including those drifters who have come from afar. The Family accepts them, but they… ultimately do not belong here."
"In this brilliant, golden metropolis, some people's dreams are called Penacony, while others' dreams… are no different from reality, even though every ordinary person who comes here initially harbors the same goal."
"I'm the same. The real me has a wish that cannot be fulfilled—it's too strong, so I resort to the dream…"
…
"Firefly, hurry up and get on the banner, I really can't refuse such a wonderful girl!"
"Something's wrong! Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so sad!"
"Run! There's a knife!"
" 'Hope Is the Thing With Feathers' [ Death Version ]"
"Tearful!"
"Firefly is so beautiful."
…
Guinaifen in the bottom right corner was already completely immersed in this atmosphere.
Her eyes sparkling with tears.
[ What is the wish? ]
"Entropy Loss Syndrome. Have you heard of this term?"
"It's a strange phenomenon. People who suffer from this disease will have their physical structure fall into an irreversible, chronic dissociation. This means you are slowly disappearing, and this disappearance is barely noticeable to others—"
"You can still run, jump, and communicate with others. Everything seems so normal, it's just that you are always a little slower than others…"
"And then slower, and slower, until you and the outline of the whole world become blurred. You can't tell the difference between reality and dreams, because they have become equally fragmented."
"So, how could I refuse… Can you imagine? In this dream, I can actually… I don't have to stay in a cold medical cabin…"
"I can leave the doctor's words behind, use my own body, listen, look, touch, think, and understand as I please. Even though this world is not real, this feeling is extremely precious…"
"Just like this very moment."
After Firefly finished speaking.
Guinaifen couldn't hold it together anymore.
She cried out: "Why does such a cute girl have to suffer from this disease!"
…
"The name fits the person, a fate of fading away like a firefly…"
"Mercy of the Abundance!"
"Aeon of Abundance, Yaoshi, save her!"
"I didn't understand Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae before, but now… surpass him! Arrange the Dragon Transformation secret technique!"
"Don't do this! The Trailblazer should go beg Ruan Mei, ask Dan Heng for the dragon transformation secret, seek help from the Abundance, if all else fails, go be entertainment for Aha. Don't die!"
…
March 7th's eyes were also a little moist.
Even reading a novel, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken for the fate of the characters within it.
Let alone.
Firefly was a person truly living in this world!
"Woooo, what should we do!"
"Is there any way to save her!"
Stelle sat on the sofa, feeling a bit lost.
At this moment.
She felt a sense of loss.
As if watching something beautiful dissipate before her eyes but being unable to do anything about it.
Seeing the two little ones so downcast.
Himeko comforted them: "Think positively, perhaps, there will be a turning point in the later plot?"
