Outside the stream,
hundreds of millions of people were watching the highlights of Aventurine's life!
At this moment,
Aventurine had arrived at the entrance of the labyrinth in the paradise.
And the phantom that resembled Aventurine was still trying to shatter his psychological defenses!
After the Cornerstone illusion,
a pair of shackles appeared.
Representing Aventurine's time as a slave.
The phantom continued to mercilessly mock: "These are shackles, bound to you. The first job that man gave you, the first bucket of gold you earned."
"You wrapped this bundle of chains around your fist, the only tool (weapon) you could find. Then, in that labyrinth, you..."
After the shackles.
Another golden amulet appeared on the ground.
Seeing this object.
Aventurine fell silent.
"Your expression right now is truly indescribable. This amulet your mother left you is made of pure gold. Why did you never consider selling it?"
"Clearly, that would have allowed you and your sister to live a normal life for a while. Looking back, that would have been the better choice."
"Ha... I see. You must remember what your sister said at the time: You are a child blessed by the Mother Goddess, you can lead the clan to happiness. So always remember to protect yourself, and never resent pain and poverty."
"Her words still echo in your ears, don't they? You're a good child, you would never forget."
"So you must also remember how tragic her final moments were, how the piercing laughter behind you cut to the core... You fled without looking back, just as she told you to."
"Tsk tsk... A lifetime of regret."
...
"Brother! Stop! I beg you!"
"Even I, a keyboard warrior, think this is too much..."
"This young man's aggression is intense!"
"Ordinary trolls just insult each other's family trees, but this kind of psychological attack is the most lethal."
"So tragic, so tragic."
"Aventurine's resilience..."
"If it were me, I would have already broken down."
"So Aventurine is so sentimental, even at this point, he still keeps his mother's keepsake..."
"Wuwuwu..."
"Cherishing family more than oneself... it's true..."
"I'm about to break down, this is too harsh!"
...
Aventurine arrived at the deepest part of the paradise.
Ahead.
An Evig child was smiling at him.
"For some reason, sir, you always give me a special feeling... it makes me curious and eager."
"It's a pity I couldn't get to know you more. It's time to say goodbye..."
"I should go home. The sky is turning gloomy, it's going to rain, I can't let everyone worry."
Thunder rumbled.
Aventurine asked with a complex expression, "Where is your home...?"
"What a strange question. Home is where dad, mom, and sister are..."
"Right here in this dream."
No matter how many heart-piercing words his own illusion had said before, it only made Aventurine feel somewhat annoyed.
But now,
the innocent face of the child saying these words,
made Aventurine show a look of sorrow!
"They are not here."
"Then where are they?" The illusion of the future appeared and inquired.
"I don't know."
"You do know. It's just that the answer is meaningless."
...
"Aventurine no longer has a home."
"Wuwuwu..."
"Why did you make me watch this!"
"Hasn't Aventurine realized that the child is his past self?"
"Because he didn't have a mirror when he was a child, so he couldn't recognize himself (sunglasses)."
"Deleted friends, broke down!"
"The future self emphasizes the cruelty of reality, the past self speaks of the beauty of the Dreamscape, making Aventurine stay here and become a part of Harmony."
"Prisoner Aventurine..."
"Keep it up, prisoner Aventurine, don't stay here!"
"We will win!"
...
Three Aventurines gathered together.
The illusion of the future said, "Admit it, you're tired."
"We are all tired, so we plan to stay here, me... and him."
"Your past... and future."
"Forever. We will stay with you forever in this dream."
"This is the greatest respect we offer to those determined to die."
In the screening room.
All the employees were so shocked they couldn't speak!
Before, they could still follow the barrage and lament the misfortunes of Director Aventurine's Path...
But now, at this point.
In the plot!
Aventurine had actually made the resolve to stake his life as the biggest bargaining chip!
He would become the third sacrifice!
To give the company the qualification to negotiate with the family!
Many employees were already in tears...
"Wuwuwu..."
"Isn't this too dedicated?"
"Gambling his life again!"
"Can't learn it, just can't learn it!"
"Only believe in the present now, keep it up, Director Aventurine!"
Front row.
Jade and Topaz were both silent.
If before they only understood Aventurine as a person.
Now.
Through this plot,
They could see through what kind of person Aventurine really was!
No matter what they said.
Jade and Topaz actually still regarded Aventurine as one of their own, otherwise they wouldn't have handed the Cornerstone to him!
Now.
They were even more certain of this thought!
"The company... indeed did not misjudge him..."
"Neither did we."
Jade raised her goblet.
And made a toast gesture towards Aventurine in the game.
Topaz sighed, "This plot is just too brilliant..."
"It's like getting to know him all over again."
"Believe in you, Aventurine."
"This time, we'll win too!"
Even Topaz, who usually couldn't stand him, sincerely wished Aventurine the best.
Not to mention the countless players in the live stream!
The little boy's name had now become Kakavasha.
After taking a photo of Kakavasha.
It was time to take the stage.
[All the Sad Tales]
[Take the stage, don't be afraid, don't look back]
"So you're an actor... no wonder your clothes are so beautiful," Kakavasha said enviously.
"Actually, I'm a... Merchant. But I do have a performance."
"Are you like the man in black from the sky? But you're not wearing black clothes."
"Ordinary employees have to wear those clothes, my position... is much higher than theirs," Aventurine said softly.
"That's amazing, I hope I can become as beautiful as you when I grow up."
"You can."
"You will definitely be better and greater than me."
In the live stream.
Little Gui had long been in tears.
During Firefly's storyline, it was a moment of pain!
Now,
From the start of Aventurine's storyline, the tears haven't stopped!
Not wanting to affect the viewing experience of the many players.
Little Gui could only silently wipe her tears.
Finally, she couldn't help but exclaim, "[The game] is truly terrifying, with text, visuals, sound, interaction, and many other elements working together, the performance effects that can be achieved are probably limitless."
"I feel like I've personally experienced Aventurine's life..."
"I really understand Aventurine, truly!"
"No, this isn't just Aventurine! It's like my good brother with a troubled Path!"
...
At the hotel, the viewing site.
Aventurine heard Little Gui's exclamation.
He immediately showed a faint smile.
Taking out his phone.
He opened the live stream.
"Thanks, streamer."
"Just for that sentence..."
"I should at least tip two [Galactic Lights]."
"As for the upcoming plot..."
"Let me see, this time, will we still win?"
