Now Playing: Penacony Grand Theater Murder Incident.
Guinaifen: This... Sushang, quickly help me look. Did I misread the characters?
Sushang: Huh? Me?
Jade: Heh, interesting. If I recall correctly, the Family seemed to have promised to guarantee the safety of their guests.
Aventurine: It seems the Family's guarantee is nothing but an empty promise.
Stelle: Could it just be clickbait?
Sunday: Esteemed guests, please do not worry. The Family's guarantee for your safety is as firm as a rock, beyond doubt.
Robin: I trust my brother, and I trust the Family. For such a heinous incident, the Family will certainly not stand idly by.
Aventurine: Anyone can make a verbal promise. We ordinary people on vacation in Penacony dare not joke with our lives.
Sunday: Mr. Aventurine, in the absence of absolute proof, may I consider this an aspersion against the Family?
And such so-called aspersion often stems from two possibilities:
First, not having seen how the Family's defense system operates;
And second, someone does not want the guests to believe in this safety.
Which do you think you belong to? Or would you rather try the cost of breaking this promise?
March 7th: Why do I feel like they're about to fight?
Dan Heng: Remove the 'feel like'.
Sparkle: Fight! Fight! I want to see rivers of blood.
Stelle: +1
The Fool: +1+2+3...+10086
At Penacony, at the entrance of Clock Studios Theme Park...
Welt, Himeko, March 7th, and Stelle appeared in the frame.
On the Astral Express, Welt saw that familiar purple figure and couldn't help but grip his cane tighter.
He then dazedly took off his glasses, carefully wiped them, and put them back on, as if trying to confirm he hadn't seen wrong.
But the result remained unchanged... Just then, Himeko noticed Welt's abnormality.
“You know her? An acquaintance?”
Welt spoke somewhat stiffly:
“Not sure, let me look again.”
And Jiang Lin on the Xianzhou Loufu stared intently at that figure.
For him, to obtain the power of the Nihility, this person was undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Although the Nihility does not restrict anyone from using Its power, Jiang Lin dared not guarantee the consequences of directly facing an Aeon.
Not everyone is as special as Acheron... Moreover, he was also curious about the difference between a 'Emanator' who merely possesses Emanator-level power and an Emanator who not only possesses Emanator-level power but also has the blessing of an Aeon?
“Ladies and gentlemen, dream chasers, tycoons, Clockmakers, and distinguished guests of the Family—”
“And the famous Nameless of the Astral Express! Welcome to the Interastral Peace Corporation's show!”
A high-pitched voice came from all around, but strangely, apart from a few people, no one else could be seen in the entire Clock Studios Theme Park.
In just a moment, everyone entered the theme park, but still no one else was in sight.
March 7th: What a strange atmosphere. Given this situation, the murderer who did the cutting wouldn't be on our side, would he?
Himeko: Aventurine, a senior executive of the Interastral Peace Corporation's Strategic Investment Department, one of the Ten Stonehearts. It's not that easy for him to get into trouble.
Aventurine: It seems to be my confrontation with the Nameless... I'm rather curious about what direction things will take?
Dan Heng: I... am still not there...
“You're truly late, members of the Astral Express, and these... uninvited guests.” Aventurine's voice came, but he was still nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Himeko spoke: “We have arrived for the appointment, Mr. Aventurine. According to etiquette, you should also appear.”
“I will, but before that, I hope to properly introduce tonight's protagonist...”
“A round of applause for—Miss Stellaron!”
“Mom, I'm on TV.” Stelle, instead, put her hands on her hips, looking excited.
Then March 7th next to her was speechless.
Stelle: Oh my, I've been doxxed (nucleated).
Shut Up: 'He' and 'He' are homophones, which is amusing.
March 7th: You doing this makes it feel less serious...
“Allow me to remind you that this stage and Stelle's identity should have nothing to do with apprehending the real culprit.” Welt said seriously at this moment.
“No, they do, of course they do. Otherwise, why would I work so hard to gain your trust and invite you all here?”
Aventurine's tone was calm, but also seemed to hide some conspiracy.
“Because she is the only witness to three murders, the best candidate to prove that casualties in the dream are an empty promise!”
Dream Chaser A: What the hell? Casualties don't exist in the dream is false?
Dream Chaser B: The Family isn't going to explain?
A certain wealthy Peepee C merchant: What explanation is needed for this? I'm leaving first.
Aventurine: Heh... The evidence is conclusive now, isn't it?
Robin: Brother... is this true?
Sunday: All of this is merely the delusion of this Corporation envoy. Casualties do not exist in the dream, I vouch for it.
March 7th: @Stelle, witness to three murders? Wouldn't the mastermind silence you? Of course, I don't mean that, it's best if you're fine. It's just how it would be in a story, right?
Qingque: Hiss... Is this Penacony... that dangerous?
“Three murders?” Himeko raised her doubt at this moment.
“Yes, madam, the third murder is about to happen. Right here in Clock Studios Theme Park...”
Aventurine's tone remained calm.
“A truly grand death.” At this moment, Aventurine's voice began to rise...
“You, you, you, and you... everyone will die—and all of this is because of you, Miss Stellaron...”
“You will personally embody death here.”
“What exactly do you want to do?” Stelle questioned.
“I thought my intentions were clear enough... Let me be more explicit: I will detonate the Stellaron within you, creating a small accident in Penacony...”
“Bang! The entire park will turn into a shattered dream. Then I will become the navigator of the Corporation fleet before the Family can react.”
Aventurine seemed to be stating a fact, his tone filled with confidence.
