Boothill: "My goodness, are you guys really Traiblazers? You can even get a Lord Ravager's finger..."
Boothill felt that his voice was a bit too loud just now. This batch of Trailblazers were ruthless characters: they could even get their hands on things like this.
If he were to fight the Trailblazers, there was no guarantee his head wouldn't be taken for a collection too, right?
Dan Heng: "When fighting the Lord Ravager, my companion hacked it off in passing. Someone even collected... a very special trophy..."
The moment he thought of the loot Stelle had cut off from Phantylia's chest back then, Dan Heng's face darkened.
But how should he put it? He had to admit, the loot Stelle obtained was, in a certain sense, even more mocking than Phantylia's head.
Boothill: "Stop, stop, stop, don't take out any more. I believe you, I believe you. You guys even dismantled an Emanator of Destruction. What are you going to do next? Dismantle an Aeon too?"
Regarding Boothill's retort, Dan Heng really wanted to say: "An Aeon's butt has already been poked."
But considering that such a thing was too shocking to the world, Dan Heng didn't dare to say it.
Dan Heng: "Alright, now you can state your purpose. You boarded the Express not just to chat with us, right?"
Boothill: "That's natural, I..."
Boothill told Dan Heng what he intended to do.
Simply put, he wanted to enter Penacony and find Acheron, who was impersonating a Galaxy Ranger.
Listening to Boothill's objective, Dan Heng looked at him calmly while his mind began to race.
If the other party was a Galaxy Ranger, Dan Heng would be very willing to act together with him. After all, Pei Guang already needed his support over there, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of enemies they would face next.
An Emanator? Or perhaps... an Aeon?
Before meeting Pei Guang, Dan Heng had never thought about such things, but after getting to know Pei Guang, he felt that such things weren't impossible.
He could even guess what Pei Guang would say if they really faced an Aeon one day.
It wouldn't be surprising if things like scripted kills, traditional arts, "I reckon," and "I guess" were all brought out, and then some hostile Aeon would just go down for free amidst laughter and cheer?
In terms of this world's common sense, Dan Heng thought it impossible, but Pei Guang wasn't a person of this world...
While Dan Heng was preparing to take action, in the deepest part of the Penacony Dreamscape, Pei Guang, who had already arrived, opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a pitch-black sky that made one feel somewhat oppressed inside.
"Phew, looks like I've arrived at the new map, but..."
Pei Guang glanced at the mini-map. The Astral Express group might have been scattered to various corners because their postures upon entering were different.
The nearest person was five or six streets away from where he appeared.
Just as Pei Guang was looking at the mini-map and thinking, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.
"You... have come here too?"
Hearing this voice, Pei Guang raised his head and looked in the direction the voice came from. He saw Robin standing not far away next to a group of children, blinking her big eyes and looking at him.
And beside Robin, a trash can with strong limbs bowed respectfully towards Pei Guang.
Pei Guang: "I'm here, I'm here. Finally found a safe way to get here~ By the way, your voice? Is your throat better?"
Pei Guang didn't expect the teleportation to be such a coincidence, landing him directly near Robin.
Robin nodded and looked at Pei Guang seriously: "Ever since I returned to Penacony, my voice became abnormal, gradually evolving into the torture of losing my voice. I originally thought it was an accident, or perhaps because I had been living abroad for too long and wasn't used to Asdana's high-concentration Memoria environment. But..."
Pei Guang rubbed his chin and began to think seriously: "It seems my guess was correct. The Penacony Family operates under the banner of Harmony, but they are no longer Harmonious. 'The strong supporting the weak'—I really haven't seen that.
What I see is pure hedonism, the imprisonment of people's dreams, and what is a fake sweet dream for many. The Family, there must be a traitor. Moreover, I found the letter you wrote to your brother earlier, which confirmed my thoughts even more."
Recalling some experiences in Penacony, Pei Guang shook his head helplessly.
Although many people had rediscovered their hearts with their help, that was a method that treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
Hearing Pei Guang's analysis, Robin praised: "As expected of you, your guess is very accurate. It's just a pity that I haven't investigated who the traitor is. I only know he is a high-ranking member of the Family, hiding too deeply. I..."
Robin's tone was somewhat agitated.
Pei Guang's blood began to boil: "You're right! The Family that claims to be Harmony is no longer Harmonious. What does this mean? It means they have deviated from their original intentions.
The Land of Dreams, Penacony: this should be a place where dreams that cannot be realized in reality can come true, a place where people can face life after relaxing. But now, I only feel that this is a fake world full of hedonism and complete escapism."
These words made Robin agitated as well: "You are right. I cannot accept my hometown moving towards the opposite of Harmony in the name of Harmony. I have given up: I will no longer step onto the stage of the Charmony Festival."
Pei Guang looked at Robin: "Then let us raise the banner named Resistance and bring true Harmony to Penacony."
Robin was very excited, but amidst her excitement, her tone was also somewhat low: "But... I don't know what to do. I am just a singer. After returning, my voice might continue to be interfered with, leaving me unable to sing... and I don't know who the mastermind behind the scenes is either."
Pei Guang rubbed his chin and pondered: "Who is the mastermind? Is there even a need to guess? Either it's the so-called Dreammaster, or it's the Dreammaster plus the Family Head. There's no guarantee your brother isn't the mastermind."
Robin shook her head vigorously: "Impossible."
She believed anyone could become the mastermind, but her brother absolutely would not!
