After hanging up the call.
Robin put her headphones back on.
While looking at the sheet music, she tried humming the song Sway to My Beat in Cosmos softly.
Although her new album Air Cocoon had been in preparation for a while.
However,
due to so discordant notes within the family, Robin not only experienced so vocal irregularities but also found her usual Inspiration sowhat affected...
She hadn't been able to produce a finished work.
But these two demos.
Seed to unexpectedly open the floodgates of her Inspiration.
The style of the song fit her perfectly!
Robin even had a feeling...
It was as if this song was tailor-made for her!
In fact.
She had previously composed two songs in a similar style.
But there hadn't been much substantial progress.
This ti.
Yu Ling directly presented her with the finished product!
Fortunately, Robin had already created many popular songs before.
Otherwise, she might have sighed at this mont, "Ah, I feel like I've always been living in his shadow."
In the collaboration proposal sent by Yu Ling.
There was also an important detail!
—Yu Ling expressed his desire to create a dedicated MV for her using Sway to My Beat in Cosmos.
The MV would incorporate content from the ga Honkai: Star Rail!
This made Robin even more excited.
"I think I have absolutely no reason to refuse~"
Robin began drafting her reply.
She carefully considered every sentence she wrote!
Is this appropriate?
Does it sound too frivolous?
She wanted to convey her sincerity and honor to Yu Ling as much as possible!
...
anwhile.
At The Reverie Hotel.
After confirming that his sister wouldn't be investigating Sothing Unto Death in the Dreamscape for the ti being.
Sunday felt slightly relieved.
Now.
He could focus on dealing with the chaotic scene.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
"Boom!"
A series of intense gunfire erupted from below.
Making the already tense atmosphere even more restless and uneasy!
On the scene.
Various factions had already ford small groups.
Upon hearing the noise.
They imdiately began whispering among themselves.
The entire floor was buzzing with noise.
"What's going on?" Sunday inquired.
The security personnel beside him replied, "Lord Patriarch, an ard force attempted to forcibly break through the Bloodhounds' blockade."
"A conflict erupted at the transit plaza."
"According to the latest reports, there hasn't been any significant damage, and the leader has already been subdued."
Sunday nodded.
He signaled that he understood.
On the surface, it seed like just a minor incident.
But in reality, it was a microcosm of the current situation on the ground!
If it weren't for the presence of the Stellaron Hunters, the company's envoy, and Acheron, soone would have likely incited a riot by now, just like what happened below.
Originally, the family's mission was to expel these dangerous elents from the universe.
Who would have thought that now they'd have to rely on them to maintain order…
Ultimately, it all ca down to the fact that in that trailer, he had stood on the opposite side of the Astral Express Crew.
And that had tainted him with the suspicion of being the "mastermind behind the scenes."
This had greatly diminished the family's credibility.
Thinking of this, Sunday turned his gaze toward the Astral Express Crew.
He was about to invite Welt or Miss Hiko to collaborate…
Just then, voices from the crowd began to speak up.
"Mr. Sunday, we can no longer trust you."
"That's right, you might just be the final boss of Penacony!"
"We're not targeting you personally, but there's definitely sothing wrong within the family!"
"Until the plot is revealed, we won't accept the family's authority anymore."
"Until this is cleared up, I trust no one except Yu Ling!"
Sunday's expression darkened.
The situation was heading in the worst possible direction.
Not far away, Sparkle jumped down from the railing.
She taunted Sunday with a gleeful smirk, "Why the long face, chicken-wing boy?"
"How about letting Lady Sparkle help you out?"
"I've got a button here. Just press it, and everyone will be blown sky-high!"
"That'll save you all the trouble of this mutual restraint and pretense~"
Of course, Sunday refused without hesitation.
"No, thank you."
What a joke!
This was the family's territory.
No matter how passive he was, he couldn't possibly blow up the hotel building.
Besides, Sunday doubted that the button was actually a bomb…
Sparkle was most likely just here to mock him.
"Stuck in a deadlock, huh? What to do?"
Sparkle stroked her chin, as if she were genuinely trying to help Sunday solve his problems.
But anyone with eyes could see it was pure mockery!
The security personnel around Sunday felt indignant on his behalf!
But Sparkle was a key figure at this gathering!
She might even have so intel about the future plot.
She was soone they absolutely couldn't afford to offend!
At that mont, Sparkle suddenly had a whimsical idea. "Oh, right!"
"What if an Aeon descended here right now? Wouldn't that break the deadlock?"
Sunday sighed helplessly.
"Please stop talking nonsense…"
However, halfway through his sentence, he froze completely!
Because in the air above the hotel, a golden figure had appeared!
It was as if he had stepped out of a screen.
Calm and composed!
Standing tall in the void.
Instantly capturing everyone's attention!
"Huh?"
"Is that…!?"
"Yu Ling himself!?"
"Am I seeing this right?!"
"Why would he personally co here?!"
"Oh my god! My life is complete!"
"So handso! Even more handso than when I saw him on the livestream!"
"There were rumors that Yu Ling is the Aeon of the ga. I didn't believe it before, but now I'm starting to!"
"Calm down! Calm down! Damn it, I can't calm down at all!"
"Lord Yu Ling, bless so my next pity pull doesn't go off-banner!"
"Quick, take a photo and hang it by my bed. I'll pray to it before every pull—guaranteed three golds in a ten-pull!"
The scene instantly erupted into chaos!
It felt like the tense battlefield had suddenly transford into a massive fan et-and-greet!
Acheron, Aventurine, Hiko, Sparkle… all of them were equally stunned and bewildered!
Why on earth would Yu Ling himself appear here at this mont?!
They observed this legendary figure with intense scrutiny and gravity.
As for why Lin Yu was here…
It was, of course, because he had already experienced the latest version of the story not long ago.
He decided to co and release it personally!
He rembered how frustrated he had been back then when the story ended on a cliffhanger.
Now that he was the developer of Honkai: Star Rail, he certainly wasn't going to repeat the sa mistake.
His eyes opened.
In a calm and composed tone, he spoke, "I am Yu Ling, the developer of Honkai: Star Rail."
"I know you must be filled with confusion right now, puzzled by the situation in Penacony and feeling lost about its future…"
"That's why I've brought the latest ga story."
"Through this new narrative, I believe all of you will be able to see clearly…"
"The truth hidden within the dream."
After finishing.
Lin Yu intended to withdraw his consciousness projection imdiately.
Because true masters always disappear after dropping a cryptic statent.
Leaving behind their legacy and mystique.
While the crowd remained utterly bewildered.
The longer he stayed, the more his aura would diminish.
Lin Yu had no intention of being a Riddler.
His words were already concise and to the point.
Just then.
Sunday seed to realize this was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity and imdiately asked, "Lord Yu Ling, it's an honor to finally et you."
"Although you've brought the new story, we'll need a player to livestream it. May I ask who you'd recomnd for this role?"
On the surface, Sunday's question seed simple.
But it was actually quite calculated!
If Yu Ling replied with sothing like "Anyone" or "It doesn't matter"…
Then Sunday would imdiately assign soone from the Family to take on the role!
By doing so.
He could create a sensational headline—[Yu Ling personally appears, allowing the Family to be the first to livestream the new version!]
Even though Yu Ling hadn't explicitly said anything.
It would give off the impression of being handpicked!
Aventurine, standing nearby, imdiately showed a look of regret on his face!
Clearly!
He had also realized the value behind this question!
"Damn it, how did he react so quickly?!"
"If I had asked first, this opportunity would've been mine!"
Lin Yu smiled faintly.
Sunday's intentions naturally couldn't escape his scrutiny.
"Since you've asked, I do have soone in mind."
Lin Yu raised his hand.
With a pointed finger.
The hotel door ahead instantly transford into a teleportation portal.
At the sa ti.
Guinaifen, who was live-streaming at the interstellar platform, suddenly felt a mysterious summoning!
The next second.
Her footing gave way.
And she fell into a teleportation portal.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!"
Unaware of what was happening, she instinctively let out a sharp scream.
The next second.
Guinaifen appeared directly in the hotel hallway.
All eyes turned toward her in unison.
Her bangs were blown up onto her forehead.
Her face seed to bear two large characters—utter confusion!
It took several seconds.
Before she noticed the crowd around her!
All staring at her in unison!
"???"
"What the!?"
"What's going on?"
"Who am I? Where am I? What do you all want?"
