Exalting Sanctum.
Starskiff Jetty.
"I think it's about ti for to head back."
"It was really nice being with you."
"I hope… we'll have another chance like this."
By the platform.
The wind tousled Robin's long hair.
Her eyes glistened slightly.
Sincere and moving.
Lin Yu nodded.
Just monts ago.
The two had exchanged contact information.
Of course.
Lin Yu didn't use his main account under the identity of Yu Ling, and Robin didn't use her account under the identity of Robin either…
Robin gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
This disguise had allowed her to experience this journey as an ordinary girl.
And after spending this ti together.
She had developed a certain impression of the man before her.
Robin couldn't help but feel that there was a mysterious charm about the other person...
But she didn't ask too many questions.
Just as the other person didn't inquire about her identity either...
She reached out her hand, preparing to say goodbye.
Lin Yu took it and gave a firm pull.
Turning the handshake farewell into a hug farewell.
In life, it's okay to be a little bold sotis!
Robin's cheeks flushed slightly.
Although they had hugged not long ago at Exalting Sanctum Square, that was due to the atmosphere, and there were many couples embracing around them.
But this ti.
It was in full view of the public.
Her heart instantly began to race.
If this were caught by a paparazzo...
It would probably make headlines tomorrow—sothing like "Miss Robin Secretly ets Her Boyfriend at Luofu Station!"
Fortunately.
The station wasn't crowded at the mont.
There were no paparazzi lurking around.
After they parted.
Robin still felt a bit embarrassed.
So she shifted her attention, picking up her phone to book a ticket.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, opened the system store.
He rembered clearly.
There was a one-ti consumable teleportation item in the store.
Sure enough.
After finding it, he purchased it directly.
His current points were a string of numbers he couldn't even be bothered to look at.
[Extract the item?]
"Yes."
A capsule-shaped object appeared in Lin Yu's hand.
"No need to bother with a spaceship."
"Use this instead."
Lin Yu handed the capsule to Robin.
"What is this?"
"Imagine the place you want to go in your mind, then crush it, and you'll be transported there directly," Lin Yu explained, reading the item's description.
"That's amazing!"
"Could it be... you're truly a traveler of the Trailblaze Path?"
"Haha, just kidding. Then I'll use your magical item to get ho quickly."
"Alright, goodbye."
Robin took one last look at Lin Yu.
Then closed her eyes.
The next mont.
Her body was enveloped in a blue light.
And she disappeared from the station bench.
Lin Yu confird it.
Robin had returned to Penacony, within the family's estate.
He also saw Sunday, who looked utterly surprised.
"Brother-in-law, I've brought her back for you."
Lin Yu chuckled.
Just as he was about to close the system store.
He suddenly noticed.
In the top left corner of this interface, a golden item had refreshed.
But this golden item was different from the previous ones.
It alternated between gold and purple.
Flickering intermittently.
[Acheron - Character PV]
PVs related to the ga were golden.
Lin Yu basically bought them whenever he saw them.
But why was this one alternating between gold and purple?
He clicked to open it.
And saw the full na of the item.
[Honkai: Star Rail Acheron Character PV—Your Color (Nihility Version)]
"Nihility Version?"
This was the first ti Lin Yu had seen such a description.
[After purchase, you may obtain the original version, or it may trigger certain side effects]
Lin Yu bought it without hesitation!
No other reason!
He was just curious about what kind of side effects it would have.
And the Nihility Version didn't disappoint.
[Ding!]
[Side effect triggered!]
[This edited version of the PV will automatically be released in 30 minutes, and you will be unable to actively post any content on social platforms for 12 hours...]
"That's the side effect?"
"Heh... Even if it's an edited version, it should still give the players quite a shock, right?"
After 12 hours.
I can repost a complete version of the PV.
This will serve as a teaser for now.
...
In Little Gui's livestream.
After Acheron joined.
It beca a trio.
The three of them arrived at a severely distorted space.
"We're here—there's an elevator, identical to the one in the lobby. Taking it should get us to our destination."
However.
After clicking to ride.
The scene changed.
They didn't enter the elevator.
Instead, they arrived at another chaotic space.
"See, I told you it wouldn't be that simple. Where is this?"
Black Swan imdiately declared that she would resort to so less elegant thods.
The screen then turned black.
Black Swan's monologue appeared at the bottom of the interface.
"Hmm… got it. I can see the center of this Dreamscape, and the family mbers… and a few figures groping their way forward. It seems your friends aren't doing well either… one, two, three…"
"Wait, three? There's a third person looking for the way to the lobby? Wait… what's this…"
In the reflection of the water.
A figure was shown in a running posture.
From the silhouette, it was clear.
It was Firefly!
Stelle imdiately pressed: [Firefly? Why is she here?]
Black Swan was also puzzled: "I don't understand, but there's a familiar shadow in the mory zone, and it feels similar to her… Does she have a reason to delve so deeply into the Dreamscape?"
"Is she… running? No… fleeing? It seems like there's sothing behind her…"
"Oh no… everyone, we need to speed up."
Hearing the slight change in Black Swan's tone.
Guinaifen also realized that sothing was wrong!
She showed a serious expression.
While speeding up the puzzle-solving, she said:
"Why is Firefly still in the Dreamscape?"
"Didn't they say Firefly had already woken up and was rubbing her eyes in the hotel room…"
"I thought Firefly's part was over!"
The chat was also flooded with comnts.
...
"My dear Firefly, why do you keep putting yourself in danger!"
"Firefly went through Black Swan's portal, the protagonist returned to reality, but Firefly didn't. What's the logic here?"
"Maybe she never left in the first place?"
"Could it be related to Firefly's Entropy Loss Syndro? Is she unable to leave?"
"Everyone, hit the like button so Little Gui can hurry up and save Firefly!"
...
If the current situation was just a bit tense.
Then,
Black Swan's next words made the situation critical!
"Just now, I captured so very familiar mories. The old friend who appeared here wasn't just her, but also the third party present when you were in danger…"
"—That mory Zone , it was there too."
"Hurry, let's get through here."
They arrived in front of the elevator.
Clicked [Leave].
The screen plunged into darkness once again.
A line of text appeared on the screen.
[The gate has closed. You feel your thoughts being stirred and pulled by the swirling currents, descending and sinking into the abyss. What scene will you see when the door opens again? Perhaps no one can give an answer.]
[An indescribable fluid—darkness—spreads from your chest to your throat. A sense of suffocation engulfs you from within. Then, a sound erges…]
[I dreamt of a scorched land, a new bud breaking through the soil, blooming toward the rising sun, whispering to .]
[(The final sigh, no one knows who it ca from.)]
[Why do people choose to sleep? I think…]
[It's because they're afraid of waking up from the dream.]
Guinaifen carefully read through this passage.
The more she read, the colder her heart felt!
It was like a bucket of water had been poured over her head!
And the sa feeling was shared by many players in the live stream!
...
"This is what Firefly said on the rooftop…"
"Why is there suddenly a mory kill at this mont?"
"I feel like this sentence has another aning, could it be so kind of code?"
"Firefly… she'll be fine, right?"
"I have a bad feeling about this…"
"Danger ×999"
"Don't…"
"This is supposed to be a light, sunny, and happy ga."
"She should be fine, right?"
