Exalting Sanctum Square.
After sending the ssage to Sampo.
Sparkle showed a carefree smile.
Although she was indeed a Masked Fool, she never aligned herself with any particular group or faction.
Her only pursuit was fun above all else!
And besides the fun online.
She had discovered a new source of amusent here on the Xianzhou Luofu!
The square was crowded.
Many players gathered in front of the central screen to watch the livestream.
Engaging in heated discussions and exchanges.
It was as if they were at so music festival.
Very lively.
But in a corner.
A man stood out as out of place.
He was eating so snacks.
Next to him was a beautiful woman accompanying him.
When the woman left to buy so water.
Sparkle imdiately appeared in front of the man.
Giving him a aningful look.
"Well, well, well, not bad."
"You've managed to bring over a big star from the galaxy?"
Lin Yu smiled slightly: "What big star? I don't know what you're talking about."
Sparkle leaned in.
Almost touching Lin Yu's face.
"Don't play dumb, my Fool's eyes never miss a thing."
Then.
Her plum blossom-shaped pupils suddenly revealed a hint of amusent.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to break you two apart, I'm here to join you."
"Let think of sothing fun…"
"How about we pretend Robin has been hard and send a scam ssage to Sunday?"
"When he rushes over in a panic, we'll notify the reporters…"
"That way, everyone will know that the siblings have co to Luofu."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing the expression on that chicken-wing boy's face!"
Clearly.
Sparkle's target for fun this ti was Sunday.
But Lin Yu shook his head slightly.
"Too small, your vision is too narrow."
"This is sowhat amusing, but not enough."
"And in the end, it feels a bit too bland, like a fine wine that fails to leave a lasting impression—undoubtedly a failed creation."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Sparkle crossed her arms in defiance.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Well then, tell , what's your plan?"
Lin Yu placed his hand on Sparkle's shoulder.
Pulling her a bit closer, he whispered, "Do you know where the most tense region is right now?"
"Penacony."
"Ever since Acheron's identity was exposed by Yu Ling, forces across the universe have turned their attention there."
"Many factions already see Acheron as the most threatening presence."
"But... the real big boss in Penacony isn't Acheron."
"It's..."
Lin Yu paused deliberately, teasing.
A glint of excitent flashed in Sparkle's eyes.
Clearly, this was sothing she found incredibly intriguing!
"Spit it out already!"
"Stop playing gas!"
"Don't be one of those damn Riddlers!"
Lin Yu took the opportunity to pat Sparkle's head.
"It's not that I won't tell you, but this is content from a future version of Honkai: Star Rail."
"Let give you an insider leak..."
Lin Yu sent a video to Sparkle.
After previewing it briefly, Sparkle's expression shifted from surprise to delight.
Finally, she wore a look of "I knew it!"
"I've always suspected the family was up to sothing."
"Now it seems, as expected!"
"Leaking this video will definitely cause an uproar in Penacony!!"
Sparkle was thrilled.
However, her expression suddenly changed.
She stared straight at Lin Yu.
"Wait... how did you manage to steal such a bombshell from Yu Ling?"
"This goes beyond being an insider, doesn't it?"
"Co on, what's your relationship with Yu Ling!?"
"Guess~"
At that mont, Robin returned from buying water.
Seeing Sparkle tugging at Lin Yu's sleeve, she looked puzzled.
"Uh... Lin Yu... are you okay?"
"Do you need help?"
Seeing this, Sparkle realized that continuing to press would make her seem unreasonable.
After all, she had just gotten this explosive information from Lin Yu.
She had to find a place to think things through carefully!
She needed to reveal this big scoop at the most opportune mont!
Imdiately.
She hopped away from the vicinity.
Lin Yu straightened his clothes.
He explained, "That's my distant cousin. Sorry for the awkwardness."
"Haha, it's fine. She seems quite cute."
"And for so reason, I feel like I've seen her sowhere before."
Robin tapped her head.
But she couldn't recall.
She smiled helplessly.
Handing the drink she bought to Lin Yu.
"This is Mung Bean Soda I got from the vending machine. I heard it's a specialty drink here in Luofu."
Lin Yu: "..."
At that mont.
The players in the square suddenly erupted into cheers!
A moving lody began to play from the speakers around the square.
Robin was slightly startled.
The music was actually her own song — If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking!
Robin imdiately pulled Lin Yu forward!
The surrounding players were also excited.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"This intro..."
"It's making my DNA move!"
"I can't hold it back once the BGM starts!"
"It's Robin's If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking!"
"Oh my! I can't believe I'm hearing Robin's song in Honkai: Star Rail in my lifeti! My life is complete!"
"My favorite episode!"
"Thank you, Robin!"
"This scene paired with this music is just too beautiful!"
"I want to fall in love now, wuwuwu..."
Robin herself hadn't expected it.
Her song would be used in Yu Ling's ga!
At this mont, she wasn't thinking about copyright or royalties...
Instead, she felt an imnse sense of honor and excitent!
She even tightened her grip on Lin Yu's hand!
"This is amazing!"
"Robin's song actually appeared in Star Rail!"
"This must an Yu Ling has recognized her song, right?"
Lin Yu looked at the big screen.
Thinking that Little Gui was progressing through the story quite quickly!
She had already reached the rooftop of Dream's Edge.
Suddenly.
A soft figure bumped into his arms.
In his ear.
Robin's voice whispered.
"Thank you..."
"eting you and going on this journey with you."
"It's really incredible for ..."
In the square.
With the clean and pure singing.
If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking gradually reached its climax.
Other couples couldn't help but embrace each other in this atmosphere.
But.
No one knew.
The song's creator — Robin.
Was also one of the audience mbers below!
As a player just like everyone else, she was deeply imrsed in her partner's embrace.
...
On the Astral Express.
Inside the carriage.
If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking was also playing.
March 7th's gaze seed to lt.
"Wow..."
"I didn't feel this moved when I listened to this song before..."
"But now, paired with the story of Honkai: Star Rail."
"This song feels like it was created just for this mont and atmosphere!"
On the screen.
Firefly stood at the edge of the rooftop.
Finally revealing her true identity...
"I'm sorry, I really am a stowaway."
"My holand was destroyed a long ti ago, perhaps by the Legion, or maybe by The Swarm... I'm a cosmic refugee, just like many of the locals in Penacony."
"Harmony embraces everyone, including those wanderers who have co from afar. The Family accepts them, but they... ultimately don't belong here."
"In this dazzling tropolis, so people dream of Penacony, while others' dreams... are no different from reality, even though every ordinary person who cos here initially harbors the sa purpose."
"I'm no different. In reality, I have a wish that I can't fulfill—it's too strong, so I turn to the Dreamscape..."
...
"Firefly, hurry up and join the pool! I really can't resist such a wonderful girl!"
"Sothing's off! Why did the atmosphere suddenly turn so sorrowful!"
"Run! There's a knife!"
""Let a Heart Die of Sorrow""
"Tears in my eyes!"
"Firefly is so beautiful."
...
In the bottom right corner, Little Gui was also completely imrsed in this atmosphere.
Her eyes glistened with tiny tears.
[What wish?]
"Lost Entropy Syndro. Have you heard of it?"
"It's a strange phenonon. People who suffer from this condition experience an irreversible, chronic dissociation of their physical structure. This ans you're slowly disappearing, and this disappearance is even hard for others to notice—"
"You can still run, jump, and communicate with others. Everything seems so normal, except you're always a little slower than others..."
"Then slower and slower, until both you and the outline of the entire world beco blurry. You can't distinguish between reality and the Dreamscape because they both beco equally fragnted."
"So, how can I refuse... Can you imagine? In this dream, I can... I don't have to stay in a cold dical pod..."
"I can throw the doctor's words to the wind, use my own body, and freely listen, see, touch, think, and understand. Even though this world isn't real, it's incredibly precious..."
"Just like this mont."
After Firefly finished speaking.
Little Gui couldn't hold back anymore.
She cried out, "Why does such a lovely girl have to suffer from this illness!"
...
"True to her na, an ending like a firefly fading away..."
"dicine King, be rciful!"
"Aeon of the Abundance, dicine King, please save her!"
"I didn't understand Imbibitor Lunae before, but now... surpass Imbibitor Lunae! Arrange the Dragon Transformation Technique!"
"No, I'll go beg Ruan i, ask Dan Heng for the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, seek help from the Abundance, or even beco a joke for Aha. Don't die!"
...
March's eyes were also a bit moist.
Even when reading a novel, she couldn't help but feel heartache for the fate of the characters.
Moreover.
Firefly is a real person living in this world!
"Wuwu, what should we do!"
"Is there any way to save her!"
Stelle sat on the sofa, looking lost.
At this mont.
She felt a sense of emptiness.
As if she was watching sothing beautiful dissipate before her eyes, powerless to stop it.
Seeing the two little ones so down.
Hiko comforted them, "Cheer up, maybe there will be a turning point in the later plot?"
