Chapter 290: Death: I may not be human, but you guys are real jerks!
"Elio always says there is only one fate, and no one can bypass it. He can see the future, and we… also know our own predetermined endings."
"But before that moment arrives, people can still choose what they want to do… We all have this right, don't we?"
Firefly said, seemingly touched.
Blade didn't know if he understood or not.
He replied: "After today, the name of Jepella will disappear from the galaxy's history, and the Ever-Flame Mansion will take its place, receiving an invitation in the near future…"
"That is your next stop."
"The Land of Dreams, Penacony."
"I wish for you to find the answer you want there… or, liberation." Blade said in a deep voice.
Thus.
This flashback ended perfectly.
Inside the hotel room.
Firefly felt her emotions surge upon seeing this scene…
Beside her.
Silver Wolf teased: "So there was this part when you guys came over?"
"Honestly, I'd like to see what you looked like after the car accident."
Firefly: "…"
"I remember you've always tried to break Elio's script, haven't you, Firefly?" Kafka suddenly asked.
Firefly nodded: "That's right."
"I was just feeling a bit sentimental when we were in the car back then."
Kafka paced around the room and said: "[ This is a self-driving car, we just put our hands on the steering wheel ], what difference does this have from what the Stellaron Hunters do to carry out Elio's script?"
"Everything is [ self-driving ] [ fate ]."
"This must be the hidden metaphor in this plot point."
Firefly was stunned: "So there was such an interpretation?"
"But what about now? We don't need to follow any [ script ] anymore."
"The fate of this universe has been completely broken."
"So next… I might go do some things I've never done before."
Hearing this.
Both Firefly and Silver Wolf looked interested.
"What kind of things?"
"For example, holding a concert."
"Forming a band or something~"
The room.
Fell into a brief silence!
Then…
"Hahahaha…"
Silver Wolf's unbridled laughter rang out!
"Kafka, you've really changed!"
"You're actually thinking about holding a concert?"
"Are you planning to start your retirement life early?"
"Why not send a message to Feathered Spirit and have him make a short clip for you before the concert?"
"Let's see how the response is, hahahaha…"
Outside the door.
Blade, who was about to knock, froze upon hearing Silver Wolf's laughter.
He didn't know whether to put down his raised hand.
Fortunately.
Kafka in the room noticed immediately.
She made a "shh" gesture.
Firefly had already taken out her transformation device.
Silver Wolf immediately understood.
She brought up a surveillance screen.
After confirming it was Blade.
The three of them relaxed their guard.
Firefly opened the door.
"Hi, you're here. How was your vacation on the Luofu?"
Blade nodded.
It counted as a greeting to the three.
Then he asked directly: "I'm going to find Acheron."
The three were slightly stunned.
Blade continued: "She should be able to kill me."
Silver Wolf: "?"
Firefly: "Ah?"
Kafka: "…"
"This guy… why is he getting more rebellious?"
Silver Wolf said with her arms crossed.
"Is he enlightened or is he losing his mind?"
"Blade, times have changed. In this universe now, anything is possible."
"Some sensational things have happened in the universe recently."
"Maybe there's even a chance to make your wish come true?"
Kafka signaled Blade to look at the screen.
Blade looked.
Isn't this himself?
And wearing a suit, driving a car?
He also appeared in the Penacony plot?
Hm?
No.
Why is this scene so familiar?
Blade stroked his forehead.
"Fine, Kafka, you're right."
"After I finish watching the new plot, I'll go find that woman."
"Indeed… now is not the time."
After speaking.
Blade walked away on his own.
Because.
In the hotel corridor.
Two people were waiting for him.
Jing Yuan and Dan Heng.
......
Little Gui's live stream room.
At this moment.
Guinaifen had already reached the legendary [ Land of Exile ] through the plot!
Just arriving in this strange area.
She heard a familiar and reassuring voice: "Glad to see you are safe and sound."
"Mr. Yang!"
"Good, good, good, a powerful teammate, Old Yang, joins the team right after arriving at the new map."
Firefly also explained: "Close your eyes… this is the answer. It's incredible, isn't it? The monster we've always regarded as death is actually the guardian of the Land of Exile. It follows certain rules, abducting people from their sweet dreams and bringing them here."
"We were previously confused about whether true death existed in dreams, but now it seems it's just a mental trap set by the mastermind to cover up the truth about people's disappearances, and… this stronghold called Dreamflux Reef." Mr. Yang echoed.
"Every appearance of that meme is related to the Watchmaker. Since Dreamflux Reef is the destination where it abducts everyone, surely many problems that have troubled us for a long time can be inspired here."
Firefly: "The atmosphere here is completely different from the sweet dreams. People live very loosely, there are no managers like the Family, and their mental state is a bit subtly dazed."
"But from the fragments of the residents' words, I got a familiar name… Gallagher."
Mr. Yang pondered: "This man again, always appearing at every key place at just the right time… it actually saves us the trouble of searching for people."
"Himeko and March have already set off. Adjust your state, we are leaving now."
Guinaifen first observed the surroundings.
At this moment, the three of them were in a small alley between residential buildings.
Unlike the Golden Hour, which was magnificent.
The style here was mainly dark and dilapidated.
The crisscrossing wires in the air and the flying papers intensified this atmosphere.
"If it were me alone coming to this kind of place, I guess I would be terrified…"
"If Shangshang were here, she would probably already be lying on the ground by now."
...
"Sushang: Don't mention me."
"Are we going to fight Gallagher next?"
"Wait, if that's the case, Gallagher didn't do anything wrong, right?"
"Holy crap! It really reversed?"
"I was betting with someone in the post that there wouldn't be a reversal, otherwise I'd have to kowtow hundred times… I'm screwed!"
"Gallagher, please, you must hold onto your villain identity!"
"Trailblazers! My friends and I just got back from Dreamflux Reef! You really can go back and forth via Something Unto Death! Just like a bus!"
"It's so damn exciting! I'm already addicted!"
"Latest news: Dreamflux Reef has been captured by various guests and has become an internet-famous check-in spot. The guests going there are spontaneously organizing groups to explore."
"Latest news + 1: The Dreamflux Reef round-trip driver, Something Unto Death, is nowhere to be found. Even if you use the corresponding method, you can't summon it."
"Good guy! It was a death avatar that everyone hated before, now it's been made to slack off and skip work by you guys?"
"Constantly going back and forth to the sweet dream, any person… no, any meme would be tired, right?"
"Death: Although I am not a person, you guys are truly jerks!"
