On the other side, Jiang Lin, who was beside Sunday, no... it should be said, beside Sunday, looked at the tall figure in front of him, as majestic as a god, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Wonderful, simply too wonderful! It's truly amazing, I'm so lucky to witness this scene, ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
Jiang Lin became more and more excited as he spoke, finally bursting into laughter unconsciously.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but move closer, and after arriving beside Sunday, he unconsciously gently caressed him... Sunday: -_-#
"I am not attacking you out of respect for the contract, but I also ask for your basic respect."
But Jiang Lin continued to mumble to himself.
"Indeed, anything related to an Aeon is truly a miracle... it's simply too wondrous..."
Sunday also felt a bit helpless, so he changed the subject.
"Mr. Jiang Lin, in this current situation, I have won."
But Jiang Lin shook his head.
"It's not over yet."
Sunday's tone was calm:
"But they are already deeply engrossed in the dream."
Jiang Lin looked back and, sure enough, everyone in the entire Asdana Star System was instantly pulled into the Taiyi Dream.
Neither the Astral Express Crew nor the Company were spared.
Jiang Lin exhaled deeply, his eyes becoming resolute. He spread his arms and looked up at Sunday.
"Let me also try such great power."
"What? You want to actively enter the Taiyi Dream? Aren't you afraid of getting deeply lost in it?"
Sunday was a bit surprised; after all, in his opinion, Jiang Lin was not the type of person who would willingly immerse himself in a beautiful dream.
But Jiang Lin was very uninhibited.
"My goal is to master this power. If I don't even have the courage to face it, then even with your help, I will never succeed."
Sunday was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Subsequently, Jiang Lin's vision began to blur... With a dizzying sensation, when Jiang Lin opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Astral Express's observation car.
And across from him sat Stelle.
Just as Jiang Lin was about to say something, Pam's voice came over the broadcast.
"Warp jump is about to begin, 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
As Pam's voice faded, the Astral Express began its warp jump.
Jiang Lin felt a bit strange at this moment, always feeling as if he had forgotten something, but he just couldn't recall it.
Not long after, Jiang Lin felt that something around him had changed... Jiang Lin frowned slightly, was it the memory material... Am I, on my way to Penacony?
Just then, Himeko also came to the observation car.
"There's something I need to tell you in advance."
Jiang Lin stood up, feeling a sense of familiarity, but still asked,
"Is it about Penacony?"
Himeko nodded, took out a music box, and explained:
"This is the 'invitation' the Astral Express received. You listen to it first."
Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment, then took it and opened it. A gentle voice accompanied by beautiful background music emerged:
"We cordially invite the esteemed guests of the Family to Penacony to partake in a grand banquet with other guests."
Jiang Lin frowned slightly. After just one listen, he noticed something unusual:
"There's something wrong with this background music."
Himeko smiled slightly and nodded in agreement:
"That's right, there are some dissonant notes in this background music. I transcribed these noises and found that they perfectly matched the gravitational wave frequency of the Astral Express during its warp jump.
Using the space curvature of the Astral Express's engine as the key, I obtained this message:
'Witness the impossible in dreams, seek the legacy of Penacony's father, the Clockmaker, and then answer: Why does life sleep?'"
Jiang Lin nodded, wanting to say something, but felt there was nothing to say, and Himeko's voice came again.
"This precisely indicates that this journey to Penacony will absolutely not be smooth sailing."
Jiang Lin nodded, his tone calm:
"I understand. What about the others, do they know?"
"March 7th and Dan Heng already know. As for Welt, he seems to have some other matters.
And Stelle... she seems to have fallen asleep."
Jiang Lin looked at Stelle and found that she was indeed asleep on the sofa.
After Himeko finished speaking, she left, and Jiang Lin looked at the sleeping Stelle, lost in thought.
Not long after, the Astral Express stopped... Jiang Lin was a bit confused... Is this... it?
Just then, the Conductor walked over with small, hurried steps.
"Dear passengers, the Astral Express has arrived at Penacony."
Then, Pam said with a sigh:
"The former frontier prison has now transformed into this luxurious hotel.
Although I'm also curious about what Penacony looks like now, I can't get off the Astral Express, so you all go and experience it well for me.
Pack your luggage, you can disembark at any time. Remember to find Passenger March 7th at the back; she's waiting for you to set off together."
Stelle also woke up at this moment, but to Pam and Jiang Lin's surprise... Stelle seemed to have cried?
Pam also noticed Stelle's abnormality and asked with some concern.
"Passenger, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"
Stelle said, somewhat dazed:
"I think I was cut by someone in my dream just now."
"Ah? Did you have a nightmare? To encounter something like this right after arriving in the Asdana Star System, you must be more careful. It seems your resistance to memory material is very poor.
But don't worry, dreams and reality are opposites. While you were sleeping, the Astral Express has already arrived at Penacony."
Jiang Lin seemed to think of something at this moment, and looking at Stelle, he asked:
"What did you just dream of?"
Stelle thought for a moment, then replied:
"I can't quite remember. It seemed like there was a purple-haired woman? And a bunch of strange people."
Jiang Lin nodded and asked no further questions.
Subsequently, the Astral Express Crew members arrived at Penacony together.
There were no mishaps along the way, but Jiang Lin always felt that everything around him was both strange and familiar.
Not long after, the group arrived at the hotel lobby, and March 7th was the first to run ahead.
Jiang Lin was about to follow, but a voice made him freeze instantly.
"Welcome to the Acheron Hotel. May you have an unforgettable vacation experience. If you wish to check in, please proceed straight to the hotel front desk."
