But that wasn't the point. In that Dreamscape Pool, which resembled a seashell, a large number of bubbles floated on the surface, but dimly, Star seemed to see someone behind them.
"I remember everything now. That's what I said to you at the time."
Star cautiously followed Aventurine into the room, every step filled with tension and unease. When he pushed aside the bubbles, a strong fear surged into her heart, causing her pupils to suddenly dilate.
Star's eyes widened, staring in horror at the person in the pool—it was Robin's corpse! Her once beautiful and gentle face was now pale and twisted, lifeless. And most horrifyingly, a huge wound was torn open on her chest. A large amount of colorful remembrance flowed out, spilling from her chest into the Dreamscape Pool.
Star's stomach churned, and she nearly vomited. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
At this moment, Aventurine's voice suddenly rang out, carrying a low and suppressed atmosphere: "Look, friend! The game has begun..."
Star sharply turned her head, glaring at Aventurine, her eyes flickering with questions and anger.
However, Aventurine remained unfazed and continued: "Make a deal with me, you can't refuse..."
Star bit her lip, trying hard to control the emotional turmoil within her.
"No reason."
"No room either."
[Robin: Am I... dead?]
[Sunday: Sister... you scoundrel, you damned bastard, what exactly have you done?!]
[Aventurine: Don't get agitated, Mr. Sunday, none of this has happened, and what I can guarantee is that killing your sister was not an option in my original plan.]
[Topaz: Please calm down, Mr. Sunday, I understand your anger, but you must know that the company desires peace, and we would not resort to such methods to handle family matters.]
[Sunday sat at the table, clenching his fists and slamming them down in anger. He knew this was just a viewing, but he still couldn't suppress the rage and anxiety in his heart. His sister... No! She must return to the family immediately and receive the protection of harmony.]
[Robin: Brother... don't get agitated, I'm fine right now... This is just a vision of what will happen in the future.]
[Robin, performing in a distant galaxy, felt a chill at this moment, but she still chose to comfort her brother first, after all, everything had yet to happen.]
Meanwhile, in a certain house on Penacony.
"How could it just end like that!" Sparkle's face was full of rage, her beautiful eyes wide. She looked incredulously at her black-screened phone, then with a flick of her arm, she slammed it hard onto the ground. With a crisp "bang," the phone screen instantly shattered into pieces.
However, this did not appease Sparkle's anger. She raised her foot, and her small foot, clad in wooden clogs, mercilessly stomped on the broken phone screen several more times, as if wanting to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart. She muttered to herself, "My fun isn't over yet... This is so annoying, it's really not enjoyable like this!"
After a long while, she suddenly chuckled and put on her mask.
"Never mind, but... if the gloom of the Harmony Festival and all the backstage secrets are exposed, I think I might consider changing places... Hehehehehe."
Meanwhile, the Astral Express had now stopped in orbit above Jarilo-VI.
"What does 'To Be Continued' mean?!" March 7th put away her phone and said angrily, "It felt like everything was about to begin, and maybe there were exciting stories about to start for me and the rest of the Trailblaze Crew."
"Don't rush, little March," Himeko comforted, "If that is the destined future, we will encounter it sooner or later. For now, we should focus on what's in front of us."
"That's right," Welt nodded. "The ice-bound planet below is Jarilo-VI... It feels a bit too big compared to the information recorded in the database."
Looking at the planet covered in ice and snow, Himeko sighed, "After thousands of years, has Jarilo-VI become like this?"
"Ah, that white planet, is that our destination?" March 7th said in surprise.
"Indeed, I'm sure this Trailblaze journey won't be easy either," Welt looked at Pam.
"Spatial readings abnormal, Star Rail stability rate evolved from seven days to indefinite until anomaly is cleared," Pam said seriously.
"Anomaly, what does that mean?" Star asked, a little confused.
Himeko explained seriously: "To use an ordinary land train as an analogy, it's like the tracks ahead suddenly breaking, and beneath lies a bottomless, terrifying abyss... Faced with such a situation, there's no other option but to hit the emergency brakes, right?"
March 7th sighed helplessly: "Ugh, why is this happening again? No need to ask, the cause of this anomaly must be that..."
Welt replied calmly: "Indeed, according to the detection results, the culprit behind this anomaly is still the 'Stellaron'."
Himeko frowned and said: "Too many mysteries surround the 'Stellaron'. Even someone as powerful as Herta cannot fully analyze it."
Welt, by her side, comforted her: "However, you don't need to worry too much. Encountering Stellaron obstructing our route is not a new experience for us. Although we don't understand the intrinsic nature and operating principles of the 'Stellaron', we can still find ways to resist its negative effects."
Himeko scanned everyone in The Train and then said solemnly:
"For this Trailblaze mission, I hope to entrust it jointly to Star, March 7th, and Dan Heng. Is that alright?"
"Yay! An exciting adventure! It's starting!" March 7th cheered.
...Three days later, the three youngsters, who were looking for Mr. Svarog in Belobog's Underworld, suddenly heard their phones ring.
March 7th pulled out her phone and said in surprise: "Star, Dan Heng, a new story is starting again, let's watch it first before we work!"
"Okay!" Star, seeing the clean and tidy garbage cans nearby, agreed without thinking, then climbed directly into the garbage cans, closed the lid, pulled out her phone, and enjoyed the sense of security the garbage cans provided while watching the show.
"Star is getting more and more fond of garbage cans... I'll have to clean them for him next time!" March 7th spread her hands helplessly.
"That's a very strange habit..." Dan Heng replied faintly.
