Inside the hotel.
Boothill continued to watch his own storyline.
The long-awaited "highlight mont" had finally arrived, and it was a damn good one!
In the ga.
He was striking a pose that was both arrogant and cool.
Holding a gun in one hand.
Pointing it at Acheron!
And this wasn't just so random encounter in the wild.
It was on the Astral Express!
"Trust? Haha, hahahaha… sweetheart, do you take for a madman or a fool?-"
"How about this, let put a few holes in you first, see what's hidden inside, and then we'll talk about trust-…"
Seeing this scene.
Boothill couldn't help but lick his lips.
This was… what a ss!
The version of himself in the ga had really made it.
Pointing a gun at soone equivalent to an Emanator of Nihility!
And even suggesting to put a few holes in them?
He was really sothing else!
In the next scene,
if Acheron just sliced him and the Astral Express in half, it would be absolutely hilarious!
Fortunately.
Acheron was reasonable.
She calmly said, "There's no need for that. I'll tell you everything you want to know, but not now… If my identity hadn't been exposed, perhaps there would be more ti, but now this is all we can do."
"Only in this way can I ensure everyone's safety..."
As she spoke,
she turned to the conductor, Pom-Pom.
"Please have the Astral Express jump imdiately and leave the Asdana Star System."
Such a statent ca out of nowhere.
Not just Pom-Pom.
Even Boothill, who was outside the screen, was completely baffled!
If it had been soone else, it might have been different!
But this was Acheron speaking in person!
A fierce person who could slice through the Dreamscape with a single strike!
Could it be that Acheron had discovered so major secret that might lead to serious consequences!?
At this mont.
Black Swan also chid in, "In my opinion, she has No Ill Will and is telling the truth."
Acheron's tone grew more serious.
She said, "And Mr. Boothill, you might have already guessed... I've been waiting for your arrival. The Galaxy Rangers are elusive, and there's little communication among us. Forgive for having to reach out to you in this manner."
"Only in this way can I find the true Galaxy Rangers. And only in this way can I fulfill a long-standing promise..."
"...to return his belongings to their rightful owner."
"Soone once told ... every rain is the heavens' compassion for the world."
"Raindrops are the tears of the gods, shed for the sorrows of humanity. But because they still fall, it ans the gods have not yet lost hope in this world."
"So..."
The screen slowly faded to black.
In front of the screen.
Boothill's puzzled face was reflected.
"What the hell!?"
"Just when it got to the most important part, they cut the scene?"
"Acheron, you too, just speak plainly, why suddenly start reciting poetry?"
Although this part of the plot revealed Acheron's purpose, it also brought more questions—
Who is he?
What are the belongings?
Just as Boothill was looking troubled.
Behind him.
A voice suddenly spoke up.
"That wasn't poetry..."
"Just a sigh of emotion."
Boothill's expression imdiately darkened.
Frowning, he looked over.
At the end of the corridor.
A woman with purple hair was staring at him indifferently.
Her deanor,
her movents...
were exactly the sa as the person in the scene just now!
—Acheron!
"What the hell!? Am I seeing ghosts in broad daylight!?"
"No, is it really her?"
Acheron walked step by step towards him.
Having gotten lost in the hotel and missed the family eting, she ended up running into Boothill.
And coincidentally...
The scene Boothill was watching had already explained her intentions.
Saving the trouble of so explanations.
Now,
she could finally hand over that bullet to the Galaxy Rangers.
At this mont.
Light and sound appeared on the screen.
Amid the sound of pattering rain.
Acheron's voice asked, "How long has this rain been going on?"
Boothill rembered.
In the previous scene, there was also this flashback of Acheron's mory.
But at that ti, both of them were being cryptic, not revealing the specifics.
So now,
was this the mont to unveil the aning of this scene?
Acheron also paused her actions.
Planning to watch this part of the scene before continuing.
An elderly figure, whose face was unclear, spoke, "Once, I too hoped it would stop one day, and so years, decades passed... in the end, hope ended before the rain did."
"It seems the god you speak of does not exist."
As he said this, the old man's gaze remained fixed in the distance.
In the dense black rain, countless shadowy hands, as if shrouded in mist, erged one by one from the sea, reaching toward the sky.
"Sin Thirsters... the obsessions of Pathstriders, born from the Shadow of IX, they see themselves as the agents of their own affairs, unknowingly repeating the actions of the deceased in their lifetis."
"They are born from Nihility and return to Nihility, living lives devoid of aning. Yet, these hollow phantoms..."
"Were once my important companions, a group of Galaxy Rangers."
The old man's tone carried an indescribable sadness and sigh.
And when Boothill witnessed this scene.
He instantly felt a chill run down his spine!!
In the previous fragnts of mories, although there were hints of the unusual nature of this sea...
But Boothill never expected.
It was the legendary Sin Thirsters!
Moreover,
These shadows,
Were actually the remnants of deceased Galaxy Rangers!
"Could it be..."
"The Galaxy Rangers who sacrificed themselves in that battle?"
Boothill had already stood up by now.
Before he knew the truth, he didn't feel much.
But now that he had learned the truth, it was only natural to show full respect to these fallen heroes.
He took off his hat.
And gave a slight bow to the "shadows" in the scene.
Although this was just content from the ga.
Although it was sothing that happened in the past.
But this respect...
It's never too late to show.
Because,
They were Galaxy Rangers!
A group of fearless, space-defying, rule-ignoring, and slightly romantic folks!
In the storyline, Acheron asked, "Are you watching over them?"
The old man replied, "Watching over? No, I am guiding them to rest."
"It was a brutal war, a campaign that shook the universe, the cosmos witnessed the fall of Lord Ravager Zhuluo, but the cost... except for those who experienced it, no one would rember the cost."
"The determination of The Hunt does not cease until life ends, so soone must guide these lost souls. They were heroes in life and should not beco puppets of Nihility in death."
"As for ... I too lost too much on that battlefield, unable to embark on another journey, and thus beca the most suitable person to complete this task."
Indeed...
The case is solved!
They were indeed the Galaxy Rangers who sacrificed themselves in that battle.
Boothill sighed.
Emotions surged.
But he knew this was not the ti to indulge in sentintality.
He turned to Acheron beside him and said:
"Sis, you're really sothing!"
"You've even been to that place and witnessed the Sin Thirsters of those Galaxy Rangers..."
"Can you take with you next ti?"
"Even if those Sin Thirsters aren't them, I still want to offer them a bouquet."
After Boothill finished speaking.
Acheron slightly shook her head.
"Sorry, that place can no longer be reached."
Boothill was about to ask what she ant.
On the screen.
The old man suddenly said, "That's a good question, and a hard one to answer, at least... I don't know the answer."
"Soone will place a bouquet on my grave as well."
Boothill was stunned!
How could it be such a coincidence right after he said that!
Suddenly.
Boothill's pupils contracted.
As if he had suddenly thought of sothing.
"Oh my Wu Wu Bo...!"
"Could this person be... Jin...?"
