Chapter 273: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Is Sparkle? Sunday: A Total Manhunt!
"Is the end of the 2.1 storyline just one big high-octane scene after another?"
"What! Gallagher's true master is the Watchmaker?"
"What! Sunday's master is the Dream Master of Penacony?"
"What! Gallagher is a disguise? He's actually a fake person?"
"I just went to grab some takeout… and when I came back, the sky had fallen?"
"This is ruthless! Both of them are exposing each other's secrets!"
...
The eyes of players across the entire universe were glued to Little Gui's stream.
At this moment.
Sunday said coldly: "Indeed, every part of you is real. The brown hair, as soft and curly as Benny's [ the Dreammaker ]; the orange eyes, which remind me of the gaze of Sir Whittaker [ Head of the Nightingale Family ]; the peculiar scars, which are the medals of Woolsey [ Chief of the Bloodhound Family ]~…"
"And the grey vest, the tie, the Bloodhound badge, the water bottle, the mixology skills, the status of a security officer… they are all real——"
"——taken from fifty-two loyal [ members of the Family ]."
"When they are gathered in one place, countless tiny truths weave together to form a lie—you plucked a strand of cognition from each person and claimed them as your own, fabricating a complete Gallagher within the dream…"
"Am I right, minion of Enigmata?"
Gallagher's mouth curled into a smirk.
"Haha…"
"Hahahahaha!"
The laughter grew increasingly unbridled.
It made even Sunday take a step back.
Little Gui was stunned.
...
"????"
"Holy crap!"
"Enigmata is actually here?"
"Fun fact: The Path of Enigmata was born from the Path of Remembrance, and the dreamscape of Penacony is saturated with Memoria."
"The legendary History Fictionologist?"
"So, does that mean Gallagher is a fabricated person?"
"The name 'Gallagher' is real… the traits of the security officer are real too… but the security officer isn't named Gallagher…"
"No wonder all the Bloodhounds only judged his identity by his features, but no one actually knew him."
"Then what exactly did I pull from the banner?"
"Penacony is really full of experts!"
...
After the laughter stopped.
Gallagher said: "You've got guts, impressive! Not bad, I underestimated you…"
"I admire you. But so what? Does this prove that I killed your sister and that stowaway?"
Sunday replied: "It proves that you and the Memetic Entity 'Death' are birds of a feather—that is enough."
As soon as these words were spoken!
Little Gui and the players in the chat were shocked once again!
That eerie and terrifying monster of the Memetic Zone…
Over these two versions,
It has left a deeply sinister impression on all players!
Whether in the story or in the game!
And now!
Sunday was actually suggesting that this thing is related to Gallagher?
While everyone was pondering in horror.
Sunday continued coldly: "Listen well, I don't care at all how you did it… I only care about one thing now, the answer to one question—"
"—You scoundrel, you damn stray dog, why did you kill her?!"
Sunday, who had always been calm and composed, finally erupted with rage at this moment!
It felt like a suppression pushed to its absolute limit, finally exploding.
And this sentence.
Undoubtedly revealed a massive amount of information!
——The mastermind behind the scenes commanding 'Death' to kill…
Was actually Gallagher!
Hearing this.
Gallagher laughed again, helplessly.
He walked step by step into the shadows.
"People are often blinded by their own perspectives—they don't see the sand in their eyes,"
"They only know the sand is there."
He sat down casually on the sofa.
Took out a lighter.
Lit it.
Playing with the flame.
"Want an answer?"
"I can give it to you."
He didn't light a cigarette.
Instead, he held the flame out in front of him.
Right where Sunday's silhouette was.
"It's all because of that damn trick of fate."
"Click!"
The moment he closed the lighter.
The shadow at Sunday's feet suddenly elongated and twisted!
In the blink of an eye, it became a bizarre shadow!
The next second!
"PFFT—!"
A sharp horn pierced through Sunday's body.
Blue dream bubbles instantly splattered across the floor.
...
"???"
"What's happening?"
"What's with that puddle of liquid!?"
"Mom! I think I just saw Sunday get pierced?"
"That's 'Something Unto Death', holy crap!"
"Ah?"
"Brother Sunday fell!?"
...
"Damn it! I thought Gallagher was just an NPC, turns out he's the mastermind!"
"Holy crap!"
"I'm sorry, Brother Sunday. I thought you were just a Harmony zealot, now I realize you're a real man."
"Gallagher is pretty nice. Sunday wanted an answer, and he gave it to him immediately—by sending him to meet his sister."
"It's bad! Super bad!"
"Someone, hurry and stop Gallagher! He's already gone on a killing spree, no one can stop him!"
......
At the hotel.
Sunday had already taken action immediately.
Seeing himself get 'slashed' in the story…
The mole within the Family and the true culprit had surfaced.
He immediately made a decision: "Contain Gallagher."
The lead security officer replied confidently: "Lord Sunday. We have already been monitoring Gallagher in advance, we guarantee to complete the mission this time!"
However.
Hearing this.
Sunday's expression changed.
"Do you really think you can monitor him?"
"He is a Pathstrider of Enigmata."
"He probably realized something was wrong the moment it happened and has already escaped the Family's blockade."
"Issue a notice immediately: The Family is placing Gallagher on the wanted list."
Just then.
Aventurine walked up to Sunday's side on his own.
Sunday signaled his subordinates to retreat for the moment.
Aventurine smiled and said: "Mr. Sunday, it seems we are both quite unfortunate, meeting our own [ deaths ] in the story."
"We're in the same boat now."
Sunday couldn't smile at all right now.
He said unpleasantly: "Mr. Aventurine, could you stop gloating while acting innocent?"
"This version of the story is almost entirely your personal highlight reel…"
"Even I'm starting to wonder, has Feathered Spirit been in private contact with you?"
"Or…"
"Has the IPC spent money to buy an investment from Feathered Spirit?"
Aventurine couldn't help but chuckle: "Buddy, are you serious?"
"Do you really think Feathered Spirit is just an ordinary game developer?"
"The Interastral Peace Corporation aims to build a massive galactic credit system, but this act of Feathered Spirit developing this game… I can't guess it, and I don't dare to."
"Who he chooses as the protagonist, whose story he expands, and who becomes a playable character… this isn't something anyone else can decide."
"One day, I wouldn't even be surprised if an Aeon became a character in the game."
Sunday turned away.
Looking at the big screen in the air.
Clearly.
He didn't want to talk to Aventurine about such profound things right now.
The scene of Gallagher backstabbing him still seemed fresh in his eyes!
What Sunday cared about most right now was…
With the exposure of the plot.
More and more factions were appearing on Penacony…
And they were getting closer and closer to the truth.
Next…
[ The Dream of Ena ] will probably be exposed too, right?
When that time comes.
Facing the eyes of the entire universe…
I'd better make some preparations in advance.
......
On the other side.
March 7th and Stelle were actively participating in the discussion of the plot.
After getting over the initial shock.
March 7th put her hands on her hips and said: "This girl thinks… there's still a twist!"
Stelle looked up.
She gave March 7th an incredulous look.
March 7th continued to explain: "Think about it, in the PV where Acheron and Black Swan were dancing before, she was—so brutal!"
"Everyone thought Acheron was the big villain back then!"
"And what happened?"
"Acheron is on our side!"
"And Aventurine too."
"Now it's Gallagher's turn… I feel like things definitely aren't over yet!"
Stelle stroked her forehead.
"Isn't that a bit of a stretch?"
"At least give some evidence!"
"Presenting evidence isn't my style." March 7th giggled.
She opened her phone.
And casually posted her guess!
Soon.
Players replied below.
[ He can already control 'Something Unto Death', and you still think there's a twist? ]
[ Unless you tell me 'Death' is actually a Wubbaboo in disguise ]
[ The most inconspicuous person is actually the culprit of a serial case, just like the plot of many novels ]
[ I'll put this here: absolutely no twist! Otherwise, I'll top up 10 6480s for the OP! ]
[ No way! Gallagher is practically confirmed as the culprit, and you're still talking about a twist? Do you think you're March 7th the Seer? ]
[ If Gallagher isn't the mastermind, I'll kowtow 100 times to the OP on livestream! ]
