Hyoen did not immediately answer his question. Instead, she was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, her gaze deep as she looked into the distance.
"The golden dream is about to stir," her voice murmured like a dream. "In the long night ahead, you will probably encounter many setbacks, witness many tragedies, and in the end... what you see will only be black and white."
"But please believe that in that black and white world, there will be a fleeting red, but when you make your choice, it will reappear...."
The scene quickly switched to Hyoen's long blade, which glowed with an eerie red light, emitting a chilling aura. "And you," Hyoen said softly, "must carefully chew on its meaning."
Hyoen's figure slowly swept past Star. Her fingertips gently flicked, and a gentle breeze suddenly swept over, softly brushing Star's hair. Star involuntarily turned her head, her eyes fixed on Hyoen's receding back.
Just then, a drop of crimson blood-tear slipped from Hyoen's eye, and her originally purple hair turned grey: "Then, return to the waking world."
Star suddenly felt a strange unease, but before she could think, her abdomen was hit hard by an invisible force. Excruciating pain instantly struck, accompanied by Star's dilated pupils. It made her groan. At the same time, her chest exploded, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering everywhere in the narrow corridor, forming a shocking scene.
[March 7th: Star!]
[Welt: Don't panic, Star, March, this is just a dream.]
[Star: I was stabbed!]
"We will all find the answer there."
Hyoen's words seemed to still echo in the air, but Star's eyes gradually lost their vitality, becoming hollow and lifeless. Her body uncontrollably tilted backward.
The next moment, the scene switched, and Star, who had been sound asleep on the sofa, suddenly woke up. She gasped for air, her face filled with terror, and tears streamed down like a broken dam.
Pam walked over and asked with concern, "Passenger, what's wrong? Wh-why are you suddenly crying?"
Star just looked at the tears on her hand and murmured, "I... I don't know... maybe I dreamed of an Old Woman...."
[March 7th: She lost her Memory, huh?]
[Himeko: Miss Hyoen also mentioned that after waking up in a dream, one loses their Memory, but I am more curious now about her identity and why she was waiting for you in the dream in advance and guiding you out.]
Pam said in surprise, "It sounds like you had a nightmare! To encounter something like this right after arriving in the Asdana Star System... you must be more careful. It seems your resistance to remembrance is very poor."
"Hmm... don't worry, dreams and reality are opposite. While you were sleeping, The Train had already arrived at Penacony...."
"The frontier prison of yesteryear has now become this luxurious hotel. Although I, the Trailblazer, am also very curious about Penacony's current appearance, since I can't get off The Train... you all can enjoy it for me!"
Pam said with a serious expression, "Pack your luggage, you can get off The Train anytime. Remember to find March 7th in the back, she's waiting for you to set off together."
Star covered her head with her hand, her body swaying slightly, as she struggled to stand up from her seat and then slowly walked towards the rear of the carriage. When she reached the back of The Train, she found that March 7th had already come out of her room with a bulging bag.
"Star, you're awake? How prepared are you? Uncle Yang and Himeko have already gotten off The Train. I'm waiting here for you to set off together."
"Hmm, I'm ready," Star nodded lightly in response. "Let's go meet them now."
March 7th couldn't hide her excitement and shouted, "Penacony, The star of the Festival, the largest and most luxurious amusement park in the entire universe, here we come!"
The two left The Train, and after a dozen checks by the Family, they arrived at the counter. The scene returned to the front desk part at the beginning. This part was shown for a small portion and then skipped directly.
[Fu Xuan: The plot connects. It seems this viewing content is presented from Star's perspective?]
[Herta: I'm becoming more and more interested in you. When are you coming to the Space Station next?]
The front desk staff in the scene smiled, gently handed a small booklet to Star, and said kindly:
"This is your Dreamscape Passport. Please keep it safe. For specific instructions on how to use it, please read the relevant explanations inside the passport, which will provide you with detailed and complete guidance. We wish every guest a pleasant and wonderful time in Penacony, fully immersed in sweet dreams. If you have any other questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at any time."
After saying this, the front desk staff thoughtfully pointed to the elevator nearby.
Hearing this, March 7th was overjoyed. She couldn't wait to cheer, "That's great! Let's go quickly!" Before her words faded, March 7th had already rushed excitedly towards the elevator.
Himeko and Welt saw this, smiled and shook their heads, then quickly followed. At this time, Star slowly lowered her head, looking at the passport in her hand, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
[[Invitation Letter]]
[Dear Dreamseeker]
[Welcome to Penacony.]
[From the moment you check into The Reverie Hotel, a magnificent dream journey has begun.]
[Letting go of the hustle and bustle of reality is by no means easy, and choosing to wholeheartedly embrace the dream certainly requires extraordinary courage. We are confident in our promise that, with the Family's meticulous arrangements, only sweet tastes and pleasant melodies await you on your journey.]
[May you cast aside all worldly worries, open a bottle of classic surlada, and quietly enjoy the dream miracle of Penacony.]
[From: The Family]
After continuing to turn the page, it was the section on Dreamscape Entry Guidelines.
[[Dreamscape Entry Guidelines]]
[1. Before officially entering the dream using the Dreamscape Pool, please ensure you have carefully read the following Dreamscape Entry Guidelines.]
[2. Maintain a peaceful state of mind. Intense emotional fluctuations may lead to unexpected Dreamscape Entry sensations (such as falling, weightlessness, pain, etc.).]
[3. Enter the dream face up. Please do not attempt to enter the dream in a prone, kneeling, or other unconventional posture to avoid the risk of drowning.]
[4. Please do not take sleep aids. The dream fluid in the Dreamscape Pool has a rapid sleep-inducing effect, so no medication is needed. If you are fully immersed and still unable to enter the dream for a long time, please contact hotel staff.]
[5. Please do not enter the dream naked. Your initial appearance in the dream will be the same as your state when you entered the dream. To avoid frightening other guests, please ensure you are fully dressed before entering the dream.]
[6. Please do not steal others' identities. The Family respects the identity and privacy of every guest. Please do not attempt to impersonate, attack, or defame other guests in the dream.]
[7. On behalf of Oak, Clover, Night Thrush, Hound, and Iris, we wish you a safe dream.]
