The sudden addition of a third person instantly caught the attention of both of them.
A completely blue virtual figure came into their view, stepping out as if from an electronic screen, flashing with a strange glow in the curtain of rain.
Feeling the two gazes cast upon her, Silver Wolf lifted her eyes nonchalantly and casually greeted, "Uh, long time no see?"
Her tone carried a hint of laziness and casualness, as if she were simply chatting with an old friend.
Then, she naturally stepped forward a few steps, placing one hand on her hip, and stood lazily in front of the two of them.
Acheron and Robin's expressions remained unchanged, feeling only a slight surprise at Silver Wolf's intervention.
The latter rolled her eyes and chose to get straight to the point. "It has indeed been a long time. Hope you've been well, so could you tell me what brings you here on a sudden visit?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Silver Wolf speechlessly rolled her eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, I've helped you quite a bit after all. Is it necessary to be this vigilant?"
Robin spoke unhurriedly, her tone peaceful yet carrying unquestionable firmness. "It is merely mutual benefit. The two cannot be lumped together. Therefore, please explain, Miss Silver Wolf, what is the purpose of your sudden appearance?"
"After all, the matters we are going to discuss next cannot afford the slightest carelessness."
Hearing this, Silver Wolf curled her lips in disdain internally. "Tch, making us Stellaron Hunters sound like outsiders."
But she still casually explained, "A friend of mine, as well as Stelle's whereabouts, have mysteriously disappeared from Muyun City."
"Since you guys seem to have ready-made information, it saves me from having to analyze it myself."
A very reasonable reason.
Acheron's expression did not change, merely glancing lightly at Silver Wolf, which counted as tacitly accepting her joining.
Robin nodded slightly, then suddenly thought of something, her fingertips pointing to the flow of people not far away.
"On a pitch-black street, aren't you, a glowing little blue person, a bit too high-profile?"
Silver Wolf waved her hand and said casually, "Oh, I've already shielded the scene within a three-meter radius around us."
With the words having reached this point, Robin had no more objections.
Next, it was time to discuss the main topic this time.
Regarding the abnormalities in Muyun City.
Silver Wolf, who was standing there nicely with one hand on her hip, suddenly sensed two ambiguous gazes landing squarely on her.
Silver Wolf felt quite uncomfortable under the two's gaze, and she subconsciously raised her hand to rub her nose.
"Hmm? Wait, why are you both staring at me? You know it's quite scary!"
Acheron and Robin did not speak, only silently watching Silver Wolf.
The former's expression was unclear, but the faint smile on the latter's lips basically wrote her thoughts all over her face.
Robin (° ᷄ ◡ ° ᷅): 'Want to hear? Sure, but you go first.'
Silver Wolf (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ): 'As expected of the Family's young miss, next time you ask me for help, don't expect a discount.'
Immediately following that, Silver Wolf informed them of everything she knew.
In fact, she currently only knew that this matter seemed to have been done by the Holy God Church, as well as that prophecy.
The so-called prophecy actually made Robin startled for a moment, her emerald-green pupils slightly contracting.
Until her emerald-green pupils swept past the purple figure beside her, seeing Acheron's still calm and waveless profile, she felt a vague sense of relief.
As for Acheron's expression, it had remained calm and waveless from beginning to end.
Her purple eyes were as deep as a pool, revealing no emotional fluctuations.
After Silver Wolf finished speaking, it was Acheron and the other's turn.
The three of them gathered together to discuss it at this moment; naturally, they would not let this future happen.
They tacitly decided in their hearts to join forces against the Holy God Church, prevent the disaster in the prophecy from descending, and protect the safety of Muyun City.
[As the chapter of the story turns a new page, the protagonist in the shadows will step out from beneath the stage, step by step, into the folds of nightfall.]
"Is this the hint you got from the fool?" Silver Wolf raised her brows slightly, looking at the two with a strange gaze.
I must say, this really has that Sparkle vibe.
Regarding this, Acheron gave an affirmative reply, and she subsequently stated the possibility regarding [Gods] in this incident. (Chapter 247)
This couldn't help but shock Silver Wolf fiercely in her heart, her small mouth slightly agape.
No way? Are the people in this world way too bold? Daring to touch unknown things like [Gods]? Have they lost their minds?
"Tsk tsk, the Masked Fool is truly as daring as ever."
"And the people of the church, I don't know if they are fearless out of ignorance or truly a bunch of lunatics." Silver Wolf curled her lips, her tone full of complaints.
If this intelligence was confirmed to be true, then Silver Wolf suddenly understood where this prophecy came from.
And what kind of game was Sparkle planning after all? Isn't she playing way too big?
But matters having reached this point, thinking about these things was useless now.
Silver Wolf turned her gaze to the two.
"Regarding this hint, you guys should have some clues by now, right?"
Robin gazed at the bustling street not far away, the pedestrians' laughter and cheers mixed with the sound of rain, converging into a noisy ocean.
She sighed softly. "[As the chapter of the story turns a new page], this requires no further elaboration."
Acheron nodded slightly, a trace of understanding flashing in her purple eyes.
In fact, as early as yesterday, when she was shopping and chatting with the two sisters, she had already deduced this answer: December 31st, the last day of this year, New Year's Eve, is the time when this conspiracy begins.
Silver Wolf nodded approvingly; this point was beyond doubt.
"Then what about the sentence after that?"
[The protagonist in the shadows will step out from beneath the stage, step by step, into the folds of nightfall.]
Robin shook her head helplessly, a trace of confusion flashing in her emerald-green eyes. "I don't know about this either."
Logically speaking, the church's conspiracy was already in motion, and Muyun City should have been shrouded in shadows, but the scene before them was completely opposite—the street was bustling with voices, and the joyful atmosphere of the festival was so thick it felt as if it were overflowing.
Seeing this, Acheron's thin lips parted slightly, slowly stating the answer.
"The previous speculation was not wrong. The latter half of the hint is precisely telling us the location."
"Where is it?"
"The entire Muyun City."
Hearing this, the other two did not immediately refute, obviously digesting Acheron's words.
Robin pondered for a moment, still failing to figure it out.
"What do you mean?"
Abnormalities had already occurred, several people had disappeared, yet the surface calm had not been broken. Beneath this calm, could undercurrents be surging in secret?
But someone among them had disappeared right under Acheron's nose.
Silver Wolf, who was also silent on the side, had of course thought of this point as well.
Therefore, both Robin and Silver Wolf cast inquiring gazes at Acheron.
Seeing this, Acheron didn't keep them in suspense either. Her cold words slowly flowed from her mouth, like colliding cold jade, carrying the power to pierce through the curtain of rain.
"The conspiracy has already begun, and the entire Muyun City has been drawn into it."
She raised her eyes to look into the distance, her purple eyes seeming to pierce through the bustling crowd, seeing the undercurrents surging beneath the city.
"On the surface, it looks calm, but there is one possibility—this [stage] does not refer to Muyun City on the surface of reality."
