Chapter 207: Acheron's identity is a fake! Exposed the moment the story began!
Little Gui's livestream.
"Looks like this pioneering journey is going to be quite different from the last one."
"Welt just said it himself: [ There likely won't be any thrilling adventures on the Family's turf ]."
"Mr. Welt even felt that [ It's a bit of a pity in my opinion, but since it's a rare chance to relax, let's just enjoy it ]."
"So, our main quest is basically a vacation!"
"There shouldn't be any plots involving manhunts or wanted posters, haha…"
Inside the train carriage.
Guinaifen specifically switched the background music to "Setting Off on a Journey."
After confirming there were no more dialogue easter eggs, she headed to the Parlor Car.
Sitting down on the sofa, the Conductor's voice came through: "Hey—hey hey—attention all passengers—"
"The train is about to warp—the train is about to warp—please sit tight and hold on, Pom-POM—!"
It had been a long time since such a formal warp, ever since arriving at the Xianzhou.
Guinaifen was a little excited right now.
She was looking forward to seeing the full view of Penacony in the upcoming scenes, followed by the plot of the Astral Express crew checking into the hotel under the Family's welcome…
Pom-Pom's voice continued.
"Warping is about to begin."
" 5"
" 4"
" 3"
" 2"
When Pom-Pom said " 1," the screen suddenly experienced an unusual jitter!
A scene flashed by suddenly!
Guinaifen was stunned.
Before she could see it clearly, another series of flashbacks followed!
Guinaifen noticed the purple-haired woman who appeared in "White Night"!
And Robin…
It seemed like there were other figures flashing by too.
But she didn't have time to see them clearly!
"What, what is going on!?"
However.
Before Guinaifen could even express her surprise.
An even more outrageous plot twist happened in the game!
Stelle opened her eyes.
Only to find she was no longer on the train!
She was in a dark room.
She herself was sitting on a sofa.
Surrounded by tables, chairs, a television, and… a Dreampool.
"Gulp…"
Guinaifen couldn't help but swallow hard.
"No way…"
"That can't be, right?"
"That shouldn't be!"
"The layout of this room is exactly the same as the hotel room I'm staying in right now!"
Stelle stood up from the sofa.
She looked around.
At this moment.
A woman appeared in the room without a sound.
"Another one…"
"Follow me."
When the scene focused on the woman, Guinaifen gasped sharply!
"It's that woman who appeared in 'White Night'!"
"We ran into her so quickly?"
…
"???"
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
"Strange, how did we get to the location directly?"
"Thinking about the lyrics in 'White Night'… desperate reincarnation…"
"March 7th: The first one you see is the mastermind."
…
Right now.
Guinaifen was even more confused than Stelle in the plot!
"Aren't we here for a vacation!"
"Mr. Welt! What happened to [ There won't be any thrilling adventures ]!"
"We just started, and we're already hitting a big one?"
"Also, why does it have to be a hotel room…"
"Little Gui is feeling really panicked right now!"
[ Where are we going? ]
The purple-haired woman sighed.
She said indifferently: "These questions… have no meaning, but I will try to explain: this is the boundary between reality and the Memory Zone, a… dream."
"At this very moment, you and I have accidentally shared the same dream, appearing in each other's thoughts. This is the Land of Dreams' first greeting to us."
"Don't worry, you will wake up from this dream soon, forgetting everything that happened here, leaving only a faint sense of melancholy."
"No need to mind it, this kind of forgetting happens every morning; it is a mundane routine we are long accustomed to."
"So, follow me. I will take you home."
Arriving in front of the room door.
The door opened automatically with a "creak—".
Outside was a vast and dim corridor.
At this moment, only the sound of Stelle's heels clicking on the tiles echoed.
Guinaifen couldn't help but complain: "When I arrived, I felt the decor here was luxurious and stylish…"
"Why does it look so eerie in this plot now?"
"It's a bit creepy…"
At the corner ahead.
The purple-haired woman was waiting there quietly.
After getting closer.
She introduced herself: "Galaxy Ranger, Acheron… that is how they refer to me, feel free to use it."
Guinaifen's eyes lit up slightly.
"Acheron!"
"Finally know the name and identity of this purple-haired woman…"
"She's actually a Galaxy Ranger?"
However.
At this moment, there was someone very excited in the bullet comments.
…
"Bullshit!"
"To hell with the Woo-woo!"
"This person is not a Galaxy Ranger at all!"
"I am the genuine Galaxy Ranger! This one called Acheron is a fake!"
"Damn it!"
"Stealing the title of Galaxy Ranger, this woman is quite the little cutie!"
…
Guinaifen saw this person being so excited.
They posted several bullet comments in a row.
Attracting the attention of many players.
This made Guinaifen a little unsure too.
"Could it be that Acheron is planning to deceive us from the start?"
"This…"
"Should I still follow her!"
…
Astral Express.
March 7th immediately looked at Mr. Yang.
"Mr. Yang! Didn't you say this woman could be trusted?"
"She's lying to us right from the start!"
Mr. Yang pushed up his glasses.
He speculated: "Perhaps she has a reason she must do so?"
"Of course."
"Before her true identity is revealed, we must also maintain some suspicion."
Mr. Yang's heart was a little complicated right now.
Seeing familiar faces from the past always made him feel lingering fear.
Now, with this person.
Mr. Yang actually hoped she was that old acquaintance.
Because if that were the case, it would mean she could be completely trusted.
Unfortunately.
In the end, it was just a superficial resemblance.
The name did not contain the characters for "Raiden."
…
Penacony.
Hotel lobby.
Although the related content of "Honkai: Star Rail" had been reopened within the dream.
Many tourists still chose to wait and see in reality first.
A large screen was set up in the lobby for everyone to watch.
Besides tourists and players.
Naturally, many members of the Family were also paying attention.
The suspicion of [ Acheron's identity being fake ] immediately attracted the attention of the Bloodhound Family members!
"Damn it, what are the inspectors doing!"
"They didn't even notice such an obvious problem with Acheron's identity?"
"If not for the plot hint, she might have successfully entered the dream until the Charmony Festival began."
"The information on the room number she checked into has been found!"
"Brothers nearby, come with me! This woman's strength shouldn't be underestimated!"
The Bloodhounds quickly surrounded Acheron's room.
Inside the room.
Acheron gently stroked her forehead.
Clearly!
She hadn't anticipated this situation either!
Although she had seen the plot related to herself in the game as desired.
However.
The plot had just begun.
And her forged identity had been exposed directly!?
Next.
Could she only be a stowaway now?
Acheron was a little annoyed.
And Black Swan shrugged slightly.
A gloating look appeared on her face.
"Look, sometimes a small choice can lead to unknown consequences."
She tapped her toes lightly on the ground.
Her whole body floated into the air.
She pointed far away towards the room door.
"What did you do?" Acheron asked.
"Penacony is a galaxy overflowing with Memetic substance; it can be considered my home field."
"I can protect you from being discovered by the Family for the time being."
Black Swan landed lightly on the ground.
Smiling, she walked towards Acheron.
"How about it? I said… trading with me wouldn't have any downsides."
"Before they discover you, I hope the plot appearing in the game can prove your safety."
"Otherwise, the dance we dance together will become very hasty."
Acheron lowered her head slightly.
Feeling somewhat helpless.
She knew her own identity better than anyone.
Right now, it was only a suspicion of a fake identity.
If the plot really revealed her true identity…
Then, it probably wouldn't just be the Family's Bloodhounds coming to find her.
It would likely alarm the entirety of Penacony.
"Hmm…"
"What a nuisance."
Noticing that the commotion of the encirclement had moved away.
Acheron sat back down.
She looked at the livestream screen in front of her.
Now, there was no better solution.
Let's see how the plot develops before making any plans…
