Hi Archivist here,
First, let me apologize again for missing, if I'm not wrong, a week? The reason for that was my great aunt passed away last Tuesday morning, and me and my family flew to their home. I just flew back to take care some of work stuffs and to update you guys.
Second, I apologize again because I'm only updating 1 chapter today lol... Reason? I'm so tired! I just got back and I still have to go back tomorrow so I can get back in time for the burial. I choose to not fly back there tomorrow because jet fuel is so expensive.ahem. Definitely not because I like to have a long ride. 15-17hours motorcycle long ride. Isn't that a beauty? Didn't have much opportunities to do that before so I'll take that all day of the week.
Anyway, Lastly, since i missed a whole week plus I will also miss the Monday update and maybe Wednesday too next week, I'll drop 30 chapters on my return. Look forward to it! That's all~

Chapter 245: Acheron's Reputation Reverses! The Aventurine Transforms into the BOSS
[ Little Gui's Guinaifen Livestream ]
[ Title: Goodbye, Penacony ]
Inside the stream.
Guinaifen was waving at the camera: "Welcome to all the family members who just joined~"
"Why isn't there a 'Honkai: Star Rail' stream today?"
Seeing the questions from her viewers, Guinaifen immediately put on a helpless expression.
"I can't help it either,"
"You all know the situation in Penacony lately!"
"Experts from all over the universe have arrived, gathering at The Reverie, and the tension is palpable!"
"To suppress Acheron and ensure the safety of travelers, The Family has cleared out all guests."
"Little Gui here, of course, is included among those guests."
"Why doesn't the streamer go participate in suppressing Acheron?"
Guinaifen leaned closer to the screen, looking resigned.
"I have enough self-awareness to know where I stand, okay!"
Saying this,
Guinaifen switched to the rear camera.
She began introducing her current environment.
"Can you guys see this?"
"This is the interstellar terminal of Penacony. It's already packed with all kinds of spaceships and starships…"
"The guests who were staying here have evacuated one after another, and those remaining are all people with actual combat capability."
"Didn't I sign a streaming contract with the Iris Family before? Because of this incident, the contract had to be temporarily terminated, and The Family paid the compensation."
"Even though we can just leave with the main crowd now, to be honest, I'm still a bit unwilling!"
"I really want to know what's happening inside The Reverie right now, don't you?"
The camera cut to the other side.
That was the transit point leading from the terminal to The Reverie.
It was now guarded by heavy troops.
Everyone entering had to undergo strict inspection.
And naturally, idle people couldn't get close.
Guinaifen, of course, was now considered an "idle person."
"Is Little Gui trying to become a war reporter?"
"Hahaha, of course not!"
"I definitely have to leave!"
"Who knows, the upcoming battle might be earth-shattering, enough to make ghosts cry and wolves howl."
However.
Despite saying that, she was still a bit reluctant.
She kept sneaking glances at the area near the transit station.
Seeming to look for any other breakthrough point.
Viewers in the livestream started flooding the screen with bullet comments.
…
"She's so dedicated! Even at a time like this, she's still thinking about streaming the situation inside The Reverie for us!"
"Everyone else is desperate to run away, Little Gui really has nerves of steel!"
"If it were me, I'd want to take a look too. This kind of big scene is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"If we want to know what happened, we can probably only wait for the official reports later."
"No, no, no…"
"As far as I know, a brother from the 'Insider Bar' also went to participate in the crusade."
"That brother should be recording the process and posting it online."
"Of course, provided he survives."
Seeing the viewers' comments.
Guinaifen's heart skipped a beat.
She opened the "Insider Bar" on the forum.
Saw someone updating their status.
However,
She didn't know until she clicked it—and when she did, she was shocked!
Just two minutes ago!
Someone posted new content in this section.
And the author was the very brother we were talking about, active in the Insider Bar!
[ I'm dumbfounded! ACHERON IS ACTUALLY ON THE SIDE OF THE ASTRAL EXPRESS!!! ]
This post only had a title and a short attached video.
You could tell.
The poster was very rushed and shocked.
Guinaifen was stunned when she saw this title.
"He means… Acheron is an ally!?"
She immediately clicked on the video below.
She saw Acheron stepping up for the Astral Express.
Standing in front of everyone.
Drawing her red long blade.
Facing the golden rain of chips in the sky all by herself!
A brief silence in the stream.
Then, the screen was flooded with question marks!
"?"
"???"
"???!??"
"…"
It was evident.
All the viewers watching this recording were shocked!
Little Gui's face changed instantly.
From shock to ecstasy!
"Not leaving!"
"Why would I leave now!"
"I felt like Acheron was a good person from the start!"
"Look at her temperament! Her appearance! She's clearly our most reliable partner!"
Inside the stream.
Viewers also reacted one after another.
…
"We all misjudged Acheron!"
"You have to know, Acheron might be an Emanator of Nihility!"
"If she's really on our side, I don't know how strong the opponent needs to be to withstand one of Acheron's slashes?"
"Isn't that person opening the Golden Vault in the sky Aventurine?"
"What is Director Aventurine thinking? Daring to challenge Acheron one-on-one?!"
"Damn, didn't you guys all say Acheron was the mastermind before?"
"How do you explain this scene now?!"
"Acheron drew her blade to protect the Astral Express!"
"Haters, speak up!"
"I was wrong, I'll kowtow to everyone…"
"The key is that I really didn't expect someone this strong to be on our side. I've never fought such a rich battle!"
"That's an Emanator of Nihility. Without knowing her character and just hearing the title, who would think she's a good person?"
"Woooo, Sis Acheron is too strong! The moment she stood in front of the Astral Express, it was full of security!"
"Acheron's reputation has done a 180-degree turn…"
"She didn't do anything excessive; it was all you conspiracy theorists linking things together!"
"I think Feathered Spirit has to take some responsibility. The plot at the beginning of Penacony was just like Werewolf, everyone looked like a bad guy to me…"
More viewers were expressing their amazement and guilt.
Of course, this Acheron incident was also fueled by The Family behind the scenes.
But now, with the exposure of this video, Acheron's suspicion has been completely cleared.
Confirmed as an ally of the Astral Express!
"Damn, this news is so exciting!"
"Hahahaha, an Emanator is actually on our side!"
"Never fought such a rich battle!"
"If that's the case, will Acheron be in the gacha banner?"
"Definitely in the banner!"
"I'll go first: Pulling until I get her!"
"I wonder what Path Acheron will be, probably Nihility?"
"But aren't the Nihility characters in the game not very strong right now?"
"Strength? Didn't the Duke and Black Swan already test that for us?"
"So the question is, if Acheron isn't the final boss, then who will be?"
......
The Reverie scene.
After watching the video content,
Voices of discussion rose one after another at the scene!
And Sunday at the very front had his gaze sink slightly.
He turned around.
Looked at Aventurine beside him.
Golden light lit up in his eyes.
His whole demeanor carried an invisible pressure.
He questioned Aventurine: "Mr. Aventurine, I need an explanation."
"If I'm not mistaken, in this video, you used the Cornerstone to share the power of the Emanator of Preservation, and adopted a stance to execute coercive measures, right?"
"And you also stated that you wanted to [ subvert this sweet dream and create the most magnificent death ]… right?"
"You had better choose your words carefully, otherwise… The Family will find it necessary to restrain a dangerous person like you on our own turf."
As Sunday's voice fell.
The Family's security forces all shifted the direction of their weapons.
From Acheron to Aventurine.
Aventurine was stunned.
Clearly, he hadn't expected this at all.
The situation had reversed so quickly!
He had become the target of everyone.
He spread his hands.
And said with a wry smile: "Does this count as… catching a stray bullet while lying down?"
