"The Galaxy Rangers are elusive, and they rarely interact with each other. This outfit is too easy to wear. As long as she doesn't talk, there's no way to prove anything. The company has ways to investigate, but it will take time."
On the TV.
The latest game storyline continued.
A company employee named Aventurine was using a suggestive tone to point the finger at—herself.
Acheron felt both helpless and troubled.
And Aventurine continued, "So, friend, it's time for you to make a choice… You can leave right now, immediately, without looking back, and forever give up the chance to get close to the truth."
"Alternatively, you can accept my invitation and learn a fact, one that could completely overturn Penacony."
"I need your help, so I'll wait for you—but I won't wait too long. When you're ready… just follow me."
"As for whether or not to cooperate with me, you can decide after seeing that fact… It's not too late."
From Acheron's perspective.
She really was just sitting at home, and the blame fell on her out of nowhere!
She truly only came here to fulfill a wish.
Why was everyone treating her like a major threat?
Why was everyone treating her like the big boss?
The real boss was someone else!
She had already been very restrained and cooperative.
To avoid harming innocent people.
She even resorted to using the power of "Nihility" to conceal herself.
Sigh...
Why are you all forcing me to come out?
What good does it do for you if I emerge?
Yu Ling, you too.
This plot makes it seem like I really have some issues.
It's just about killing a Grand Duke.
But that was his own choice to follow the path of Destruction.
I'm a pure-hearted good person!
It's just a pity...
Acheron couldn't express these thoughts.
She's not good with words.
Moreover.
Even if she explained everything, no one might believe her now!
She could only continue to hide.
Wait for the later plot...
To clear her name...
No, to prove her innocence.
Let's continue with the story.
Stelle went to confront Black Swan.
Black Swan admitted that she had indeed made a deal with Aventurine.
But this place was also safe.
She wouldn't harm the members of the Astral Express; instead, she would continue to help.
Of course, this was on the condition that the Astral Express Crew was still willing to trust her.
Then.
Stelle asked, "Who do you think is the mastermind behind all this?"
Black Swan replied, "I still believe that Miss Firefly's matter... is more closely related to the Stellaron Hunters, as we speculated. But you also heard Aventurine accuse that ranger."
"Although I don't know why he came to that conclusion, he has the company's intelligence network, so his perspective is worth further discussion. Also, I believe Miss Acheron is hiding something..."
"No, I should say, she's hiding everything."
"This was something I unexpectedly gained from a previous encounter. Regarding the Annihilation Gang... I can also confirm that what Aventurine said is true."
"That's why, in this golden banquet... she is the dancer I'm most focused on."
Black Swan's voice remained magnetic and composed.
Maintaining the elegance of a Memokeeper at all times.
However.
At this moment, Black Swan in front of the TV didn't feel elegant at all!
Other times were fine.
But the problem was!
Right now, she was in the same room as Acheron!
To directly call her out like this... was that really okay?
This was an Emanator of Nihility!
For memories, she could be considered a natural enemy!
If she wanted to.
She could truly erase all traces of my existence!
And yet.
I kept pushing my luck in the game's plot!
Even a clay figurine has its limits!
Not to mention, this is an Emanator of Nihility!
Someone with a long history of bloodshed!
I'm really dancing on the edge of death here!
At this point.
Black Swan felt it was necessary to explain.
To increase her chances of survival!
"Um... Miss Acheron..."
"You see, these are the words spoken by my character in the game..."
"If I've offended you, I apologize."
Acheron looked at her expressionlessly.
Black Swan's heart tightened slightly.
She continued to explain, "After all, I haven't spent much time with you, Miss Acheron, and the game is the same."
"Whenever the plot involves you, there are often red subtitles, making it hard to ignore and easy to speculate..."
"Hmm... I believe the developer, Yu Ling, bears undeniable responsibility for this."
"He deliberately created a rhythm that makes you seem like the mastermind."
Hearing this.
Acheron's expression finally shifted slightly.
"Yu Ling..."
"He was able to leave my mark in this game, truly incredible."
"Could it be... that there exists something not only capable of opposing Nihility but also surpassing it...?"
Hearing Acheron's murmur, Black Swan was momentarily at a loss for words.
After all, even the most knowledgeable Memokeeper wouldn't dare claim to have any deep understanding of Nihility.
This Miss Acheron had indeed opened a new chapter in her understanding of Nihility.
Suddenly, Acheron's expression changed.
"Hmm?"
"Someone is approaching this area?"
She looked into the distance, her gaze seemingly piercing through the illusions.
"People from the family? How did they find this place?"
Black Swan wore a bitter smile.
"Miss Acheron, it's not just the family. There are also Memokeepers... and perhaps some other factions as well."
"Do you know how many factions are wary of you now?"
"How many have decided to join forces to take you down?"
"They've probably already reached an agreement and are converging here through their own means."
Black Swan's reminder made Acheron realize the severity of the situation, yet she showed a hesitant expression.
She looked at her long sword and whispered, "Could it be... that I'll have to bear the burden of bloodshed again..."
Black Swan's heart skipped a beat!
If a real fight breaks out, it would be a gruesome sight!
Previously, it was speculated that Acheron was an Emanator of some Aeon.
Whether it was The Hunt or Destruction, there was at least an upper limit to her combat power, and the destruction would mostly be confined to the material level.
But now, they've discovered that she is an Emanator of [Nihility]!
This battle would be a comprehensive annihilation of reality and memory!
For a Memokeeper, this would be worse than death!
"No, I must prevent such a tragedy from happening..."
Black Swan instinctively thought this and immediately said to Acheron, "Perhaps I could be your guarantor?"
"Though, my influence might not be enough..."
"If only the Astral Express could vouch for you."
"Unfortunately, they don't know you either, and their only understanding comes from the game's storyline."
The usually composed Black Swan now seemed a bit flustered.
Acheron softly said, "Don't worry about me."
"Even if surrounded by the universe's various factions, I have the confidence to break through."
Black Swan was on the verge of tears!
Sister!
It's not you I'm worried about!
It's exactly this that I'm worried about!
What to do...!?
At this point, is there any way to salvage the situation?!
Suddenly, a notification sounded on Black Swan's phone.
It was the latest update from Yu Ling!
[Acheron's PV released...]
Black Swan was overjoyed!
Yu Ling had finally released the news!
Better late than never!
It was Acheron's character PV!
So, it should help clear some of the suspicions against Acheron, right?
At the very least,
It could buy some breathing room, right? Five?.
