The situation on the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic.

It could even be described as "bizarre"!

It was one thing for the company's envoy, Aventurine, to be under suspicion.

After all, their original goal was to annex Penacony…

But now, things had taken an unexpected turn!

Even Mr. Sunday, the head of the Oak Family, was suspected of being the boss of Penacony!

This was truly beyond anyone's expectations!

Noticing the suspicious glances directed his way, Sunday turned to the Masked Fools' Sparkle standing before him.

He calmly inquired, "Miss Sparkle, have you brought any additional information?"

Sparkle, who seemed to relish stirring up trouble, replied with a mischievous grin, "That's all I've got to expose. What's the matter, Sunday? Not satisfied with your identity?"

"Not at all. It's just that the content you've revealed is still a preview of the storyline. I'm concerned that further revelations might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Oh, so you're saying you don't trust the preview and only believe in the main storyline, is that it?"

"The current situation in Penacony is extremely complex. Relying solely on content outside the main storyline can easily lead to misunderstandings," Sunday responded with composure.

"Alright then, since so many of us are here, let's watch the final part of the current version's main storyline together."

As soon as Sparkle's words fell, the room erupted with voices of agreement.

"I agree with Miss Sparkle!"

"Good, good! That's a great suggestion!"

"Since it's Sparkle's proposal, I'm on board too!"

"It's really hard to tell who's the enemy now…"

"We urgently need clues from the game's storyline!"

"With so many of us here, we should be able to interpret any details or metaphors in the storyline!"

Faced with such overwhelming support from the crowd, even those who wanted to object were powerless to do so.

Take Aventurine, for example.

He knew that he might have to do something extreme in the storyline.

And once those actions were exposed as part of the game's plot…

The Family would undoubtedly use it as grounds to permanently banish him from Penacony's credit system.

In that case, his mission would be a complete failure.

Although Aventurine strongly wanted to object, in the current situation, voicing such opposition would only amplify suspicions against him tenfold.

"Sigh…"

"There's no other choice. I'll have to bet on Yu Ling's storyline!"

"I hope my luck holds up in the game's plot as well."

Aside from Aventurine, Acheron and Firefly, who were also involved in the storyline, silently supported the decision.

After all, they had clear consciences!

They had come to Penacony without any ulterior motives or intentions to wreak havoc…

One was here to fulfill a promise to the Galaxy Rangers, while the other was following Elio's script.

The reason they were thrust into the spotlight was entirely due to the earlier parts of the storyline stirring up trouble!

Sunday remained composed as well, showing no concern about the upcoming plot.

Even though the preview had shown him activating the Choir of Resonance…

It seemed that the power of Order had been invoked, causing the Resonant Choir to display a different appearance than before.

But Sunday was not the least bit flustered!

He believed his path was the right one.

Even if it were exposed in the storyline.

He was confident that Yu Ling would fully articulate his philosophy!

He believed that most of the people present would understand!

They might even take the initiative to join.

Sunday was even somewhat looking forward to the part of the storyline about him arriving sooner.

Seeing everyone remain calm and composed.

Even Sunday in front of him was so steady and confident...

It made Aventurine himself feel a bit unsure.

"Is there really no one who refuses?"

"Do you all really have a clear conscience?"

"Am I really the final boss?"

As these thoughts crossed his mind.

The storyline on the big screen had already begun.

There was no turning back now.

Aventurine's gaze darkened.

No matter what.

He would watch first!

And then adapt accordingly!

[Mission Name: Who Killed...]

[The Memokeeper also expressed distrust towards Aventurine, but persuaded you to prioritize the bigger picture. You decided to see what the fact he mentioned, which could overturn Penacony, really was.]

The storyline began.

In the corridor of the Dreamscape Hotel.

Aventurine was waiting here.

As Stelle approached.

Aventurine spoke: "Good, I knew you would come. By the way, that Memokeeper... never mind, I won't ask more."

"After all, I said you could discuss with your companions, or even use me in reverse, I welcome it! Because this is also showing me your value."

"I never make a losing deal, I hope my friends... don't let me down."

"Come on—this way, please!"

Following Aventurine, heading towards the room emitting red light.

At this moment, everyone was watching this part of the storyline.

As the person involved in this storyline, Aventurine himself.

Felt as if he had been forcibly pulled onto the stage to perform.

"Damn it, of all times, it had to be now."

Aventurine was well aware.

That any slightly out-of-line action he took now in the storyline could likely be magnified several times on the spot.

It was practically a public execution!

Even.

The family had intentionally blocked his retreat.

Seemingly worried that he might escape.

The situation was not favorable...

Compared to the current Aventurine.

The one in the game appeared calm and confident.

"Ah right, it seems I said something after that... what was it?"

"Ah... a familiar corridor, a familiar room. Remember? The last time we met was in this place."

"We're here, just behind this door. Hold your breath, and wait and see—"

As Stelle triggered the [Enter Room] option.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Everyone knew.

That next.

A very significant scene would definitely appear!

And the screen.

Turned completely black at this moment!

Only Aventurine's narration and subtitles appeared below.

"Oh, I finally remember... friend! After that, we played a pleasant game."

"Look, this moment, just like that moment... isn't it?"

"I completely remember now, at that time, I said this to you—"

The screen lit up.

Aventurine and Stelle appeared in the room.

The two of them stepped closer to the Dream Pool.

"Look, friend."

"The game has already begun."

The room was filled with numerous blue dream bubbles of varying sizes, obstructing the view. One had to get closer to clearly see the scene within the dream pool.

Aventurine pushed the dream bubble in front of him aside.

"Let's make a deal. One you can't refuse."

"There's no reason..."

"—And no room for negotiation."

As they approached the Dream Pool, Stelle's pupils suddenly contracted sharply!

Lying in the pool was none other than... Robin!!!

A purple wound pierced through her chest.

It was clear that this body had already lost its vitality.

Most of the people present were instantly stunned!

And Robin in the pool dissolved into dream bubbles, completely vanishing...

[To be continued...]

Seeing the words appear on the screen, everyone finally reacted.

"My God! What on earth is going on?"

"Wasn't it Firefly who was taken by [Death] earlier? How did Robin also die in the Dream Pool?"

"And the manner of death is the same—a piercing wound through the chest!"

"No—! This can't be real—!!!"

"Now I understand why this mission is called [Who Killed...]. There's more than one victim!"

"Who is the mastermind behind this? I'll take them down first!"

Many people were visibly agitated, filled with righteous indignation.

However, those who were truly frightened by this scene were far less emotional.

Sunday's expression was grave.

Compared to the others, he merely had accelerated breathing and contracted pupils.

But in reality, this was the genuine reaction of someone truly shocked.

He wouldn't immediately start shouting and screaming.

Sunday's rationality and upbringing didn't allow him to act that way.

Gently touching his forehead, Sunday tried to shake off the uneasy feeling.

Rationality!

This damned rationality!

He had to think calmly, just like he always did.

After taking a deep breath, Sunday immediately turned to his subordinates and said, "Contact Robin immediately. I need to confirm my sister's safety!"
