[Little Gui's Guinevere Livestream]

[Title: Farewell, Penacony]

Inside the livestream.

Guinaifen was greeting the camera, saying, "Welcome to all the new family members~"

"Why aren't we streaming Honkai: Star Rail today?"

Seeing the questions from the viewers, Guinaifen immediately showed a helpless expression.

"I can't help it,"

"You all know the situation in Penacony recently!"

"Experts from all over the universe have gathered at The Reverie Hotel, and it's like a powder keg ready to explode!"

"The Iris Family has evacuated all guests to ensure the safety of travelers while they deal with Acheron."

"Of course, Little Gui is included among these guests."

"Why isn't the streamer participating in the operation against Acheron?"

Guinaifen leaned closer to the screen, looking utterly helpless.

"I have a pretty good understanding of my own limitations, okay!"

As she spoke,

Guinaifen switched to the rear camera.

She began introducing her current surroundings.

"Can you all see this, family?"

"This is the interstellar platform in Penacony, and it's already filled with various spaceships and starships…"

"Most of the previous guests have already evacuated, and those remaining are the ones with immediate combat capabilities."

"Little Gui had previously signed a streaming contract with the Iris Family, but due to this incident, the contract had to be temporarily terminated, and the family has already compensated us."

"Although we could just leave with the crowd now, to be honest, I'm a bit reluctant!"

"I really want to know what's happening inside The Reverie Hotel right now!"

The camera panned to the other side.

There was the transfer point from the platform to The Reverie Hotel.

It was now heavily guarded.

Anyone entering had to go through strict checks.

And naturally, bystanders couldn't get close.

Guinaifen, of course, fell into the category of bystanders here.

"Is Little Gui thinking of becoming a war correspondent?"

"Hahaha, of course not!"

"I'm definitely leaving!"

"The upcoming battle might be earth-shattering, with ghosts wailing and wolves howling."

However.

Even though she said that, she still felt a bit reluctant.

She kept sneaking glances at the area near the transfer station.

As if searching for another way out.

In the live stream, the viewers immediately started flooding the chat with messages.

...

"She's so dedicated! Even now, she's still thinking about live-streaming the situation inside The Reverie Hotel!"

"Everyone else is desperate to run away, but Little Gui is truly fearless!"

"If it were me, I'd want to take a look too. Such a grand scene is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If we want to know what's happening, we'll probably have to wait for the official report later."

"No, no, not necessarily..."

"As far as I know, a guy from the insider forum has also gone to join the fight."

"That guy should record the process and post it online."

"Of course, that's assuming he survives."

Seeing the viewers' messages.

Guinaifen's heart stirred.

She opened the insider forum.

And saw that someone had updated their status.

However,

She didn't expect to be shocked upon opening it!

Just two minutes ago!

Someone had posted new content in this section.

And the author was none other than the guy we mentioned who's active in the insider forum!

["I'm stunned! Acheron is actually on the side of the Astral Express Crew!!!"]

This post only had a title and a short attached video.

It was clear.

The poster was in a hurry and utterly shocked.

Guinaifen was also stunned when she saw the title.

"Is he saying... Acheron is an ally!?"

She immediately clicked on the video below.

And saw Acheron stepping forward for the Astral Express Crew.

Standing in front of everyone.

Drawing her red longsword.

Facing the golden rain of chips in the sky alone!

The live stream fell into a brief silence.

Then it was flooded with question marks!

"??"

"???"

"????!??"

"..."

It was evident.

All the viewers who saw this footage were completely shocked!

Little Gui's expression changed instantly.

From shock to sheer delight!

"I'm not leaving!"

"Why would I leave now!?"

"I always thought Acheron was a good person!"

"Look at her demeanor! Her appearance! She's clearly our most reliable ally!"

In the live stream.

The viewers also quickly reacted.

...

"We all misjudged Acheron!"

"Don't forget, Acheron is suspected to be an Emanator of Nihility!"

"If she's really on our side, I can't imagine how strong the opponent would have to be to withstand a single strike from Acheron?"

"Is that guy in the sky opening the golden vault Aventurine?"

"What on earth is Aventurine thinking? How dare he challenge Acheron alone?!"

"Damn, weren't you all saying Acheron was the mastermind behind this?"

"How do you explain this scene now?!"

"Acheron drew her sword to protect the Astral Express Crew!"

"Haters, speak up!"

"I was wrong, I'll kowtow to everyone..."

"The key is I never expected someone so strong to be on our side. I've never fought such a rich battle before!"

"That's an Emanator of Nihility. When you first hear the title without knowing the person, who would think they're a good guy?"

"Wuwuwu, Sister Acheron is so strong! The moment she stood in front of the Astral Express Crew, it was like a full sense of security!"

"Acheron's reputation has completely flipped..."

"She didn't do anything excessive; it's all those conspiracy theorists making connections!"

"I think Yu Ling bears some responsibility. The early plot in Penacony was like a game of Werewolf; everyone seemed suspicious to me..."

More netizens were expressing their amazement and guilt.

Of course, this whole Acheron incident was also fueled by the Family behind the scenes.

But now, with the exposure of this video, Acheron's suspicions have been completely cleared.

Confirmed as an ally of the Astral Express Crew!

"Damn, this news is so uplifting!"

"Hahaha, the Emanator is actually on our side!"

"Never fought such a rich battle before!"

"If that's the case, will Acheron be added to the gacha pool?"

"Of course she will!"

"I'll go first: I'm pulling for her!"

"I wonder what Path Acheron will be. Probably Nihility, right?"

"But the Nihility characters in the game don't seem very strong, huh?"

"Strength? Haven't the Duke and Black Swan already tested that for us?"

"So the question is, if Acheron isn't the final boss, then who is?"

...

At The Reverie Hotel.

After watching the video,

The room was filled with murmurs and discussions!

At the forefront, Sunday's gaze darkened slightly.

He turned around.

Looking at Aventurine beside him.

A golden light flickered in his eyes.

An invisible pressure emanated from him.

He questioned Aventurine, "Mr. Aventurine, I need an explanation."

"If I'm not mistaken, in this video, you borrowed the authority of the Preservation Emanator through the Cornerstone, activating a forced execution stance, correct?"

"Moreover, you stated that you would [overturn this beautiful dream and create the grandest death]... right?"

"You'd better choose your words carefully, otherwise... the Family will have no choice but to restrain a dangerous individual like you on our own turf."

As Sunday finished speaking,

The Family's security forces all shifted their weapons.

From Acheron to Aventurine.

Aventurine was stunned.

Clearly, he hadn't expected.

The situation to reverse so quickly!

Now, he had become the target.

He spread his hands.

And said with a bitter smile, "Does this count as... getting hit while lying down?"
