Chapter 174: The Nameless's Tombstone
["If you truly intend to go for the kill, then there's no opportunity for pleasantries... State your purpose, [Watchmaker]'s lackey."
"Heh, you saw through that? No wonder you dare oppose the Dreammaster and the four Great Families. It seems my choice was correct."
After confirming his sister's safety, Sunday, who had relaxed, became serious again. "You know what I want to do. My [Fiction] has already been seen through by you, and I don't have much time left. There's no need for hypocrisy..."
"I want to cooperate with you."
Gallagher submitted a cooperation request to Sunday. "Why do you think you can cooperate with me?"
"Because the famous Robin also chose to stand on this side. Plus, the clues of a traitor, and Penacony's bright future—can such a special drink satisfy your appetite?"
Sunday was not to be outdone: "I find it hard to believe that a person full of lies from head to toe could have a few truthful words in their mouth."
"It's fine, you shouldn't believe me. What you should believe in is the justice (ambition) in your heart."
"...Let me see Robin first."
Gallagher signaled for Sunday to turn around: "As you wish, she's here..."
Miss Firefly was stunned.]
[Qingque]:"'As you wish, she's here...' But it's Firefly who came."
[March 7th]:"I feel like Gallagher must be really embarrassed now, but the exchange between these two is much more confrontational than Miss Robin's communication with us."
[Guinaifen]:"This round, these two together have eight hundred schemes in their minds. Each person's thoughts are really complicated."
[Theresa]:"One is a suspected mastermind behind the invitations, a Fictionologist standing on the Watchmaker's side; the other is the leader of the Oak Family. Neither could possibly be naive."
[Silver Wolf]:"Haha, Firefly, your timing really couldn't be worse."
[Stelle]:"Firefly: Huh? (looking adorably stunned), so cute~"
[Sunday's expression darkened again as he questioned with an unfriendly tone: "What trick are you playing now?"
Gallagher laughed awkwardly twice, quickly making excuses for himself: "Haha, just a joke. I mean, this young lady will take us to see Robin, right?"
Firefly frowned slightly, showing a fierce expression: "Of course, along with the Astral Express and me. There are too many people who need explanations from you..."
"Haha, that's just great. This way, please, esteemed Oak Family head. Now all the actors... have gathered."]
[Stelle]:"Firefly with a fierce expression, so cute~"
[Herrscher of Sentience]:"Now everyone has gathered. The truth should be revealed soon, right?"
[Kiana]:"This time, the Astral Express just came here for a vacation but ended up卷入 this 'Werewolf' game. I feel it should be related to those Nameless that Pom-Pom wanted to find."
[Qingque]:"Since Sunday arrived here, he really can't go three sentences without mentioning Robin." ["This is the memorial I mentioned earlier. The names on it... should not be unfamiliar to everyone."
Welt softly read the names on two of the tombstones: "Lazarina, and...
Mikhail sighed with emotion, showing respect for the heroes: "When Penacony was still called [Frontier Prison], it was [Trailblaze] that connected it to the stars. They were all heroes who saved Asdana. Their names should be carved on the monument of time, not on these small stones."
"However, now the Star of Festivities only has sweet dreams left. The heavy history and that prison... have long since vanished without a trace."
"Their names are carved on the stele, which means..."
Himeko also paid respects to the seniors, saying to
Robin: "According to Mr. Mikhail, they passed away a long time ago."
Mikhail told the stories of the seniors one by one to the Nameless, describing their heroic deeds in Penacony and the wars they sacrificed in... "Although I had expectations in my heart, the stories of the seniors... are still quite regrettable."
"Their whole lives were spent moving towards the unknown, living up to the name of [Trailblaze]. But... what about this wordless memorial stone?"
Familiar footsteps approached as Gallagher arrived with Firefly and
Sunday: "When Dreamflux Reef was born, its master had not yet passed away. But that person said [There must be such a day] and insisted on erecting a wordless stele for themselves."
"Everyone from the Astral Express, we meet again."]
[March 7th]:"These are the heroic deeds of the seniors..."
[Theresa]:"In every sense, the Nameless are truly great people."
[Pom-Pom]:"Passenger Lazarina, Passenger Tiernan, wuwuwu~"
[Fu Xuan]:"From this, it's basically confirmed that the Family must have betrayed the Watchmaker and them. After all, Huangquan said that the Family has now betrayed [Harmony]." ["Robin..."
Seeing his beloved sister, Sunday forgot everything else and immediately went to chat with Robin. Now, all mysteries await Gallagher's—revelation... "Before we begin, let me reintroduce myself—the founder of Dreamflux Reef, the [Watchmaker]'s assistant, and also the one who sent out those invitations..."
"[Fictionologist]
Gallagher, at your service."
March 7th was the first to lose composure: "So you're a Fictionologist! All that stuff you told us before was made up?"
"I can guarantee this point—the stories I told everyone previously were all true... Well, mostly, except for the part about 'the Family taking me back.'"
Gallagher laid all his cards on the table. Why he did this was simple—the root of everything was the Stellaron. Welt was the first to question: "Stellaron? Penacony is unimpeded, a well-connected interstellar hub that shows no signs of any contamination. How could it be related to Stellaron?"
"You're absolutely correct. So, care to guess what this means?"
"Someone is manipulating the Stellaron."
Stelle gave her answer. "Quite sharp. As expected from the person here most familiar with Stellaron."]
[Qingque]:"Why is it Stellaron again? Herta Space Station, Belobog, our Luofu, and now Penacony—why does the Astral Express find a Stellaron everywhere they go?"
[Kiana]:"Exactly! Are you guys the Stellaron Hunters or is Silver Wolf and them the Stellaron Hunters?"
[Silver Wolf]:"Hey hey hey, what's all this? Aren't we all here? Don't insult our professional work, okay?"
[Stelle]:"I'm not familiar with it at all! Otherwise I'd be smashing faces with Stellaron instead of a bat!"
[March 7th]:"That's so like you—you really think about using Stellaron to smash people's faces?"

Said I'd post in the afternoon, but it's already 6 PM. Next time when playing games, I need to pay attention to writing and not get too addicted...
