The Firefly closed its eyes, took a deep breath, calmed its thoughts, and decided to stop speculating.

With a long exhale, the Firefly placed one hand on its chest and smiled at Lin Shuang:

"It's amazing. I always felt that if it were you, Lin Shuang, you would definitely be able to solve the problem."

Her gaze flickered slightly as she looked at Lin Shuang.

What kept flashing through her mind was the image of Lin Shuang fighting against the Lord Ravager alone on the Xianzhou Luofu.

And the scene where Phantylia is finally severely injured, forcing her to flee in panic.

Perhaps the impression of that day was too profound for the Firefly.

So much so that Firefly herself didn't realize that she had a considerable degree of trust in Lin Shuang's abilities.

But Lin Shuang waved her hand and said:

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. I can't guarantee I'll be able to find out."

I never imagined the Firefly would trust her so much and put pressure on her.

She really wasn't sure about this investigation.

"Hehe~ Just kidding, I'm not trying to put pressure on you, just expressing a little sentiment..."

As it spoke, the Firefly suddenly lay down lazily on the sofa, and then suddenly said:

"My feelings about Penacony... are complicated. Every time I go back, I feel like the Penacony Dreamscape is a never-ending stage, forever filled with parties and revelry. It always leaves me with a sense of powerlessness."

"On the other hand, my Brother and I came to Penacony when we were very young. The Dreamscape here are beautiful, and our whole Family is working hard to build one beautiful dream after another. I don't dislike Penacony."

Lin Shuang could not empathize with the Firefly's feelings.

But that doesn't stop her from being a listener.

Fortunately, the Firefly wasn't looking for someone to confide in, otherwise Lin Shuang really wouldn't know how to respond to the topic.

"But this time, for some reason, because Lin Shuang is with me, I suddenly feel less conflicted. It's like... we can actually do something for Penacony without being overwhelmed by the wild party."

You trust me that much?

Lin Shuang thought to herself, then suddenly spoke:

"If your Brother knew how much you trust me, he'd probably target me."

"Hehe~ No way."

The Firefly covered its mouth and laughed. Lin Shuang was talking like she was dating and meeting the parents.

After spending two nights on the Spaceship, we arrived in the Asdana Galaxy.

Lin Shuang's impression was that this was much more comfortable than her Spaceship.

Of course, this Spaceship was also much more expensive to build than Lin Shuang's.

However, as the Spaceship entered Star System with an excessive abundance of Memoria, Lin Shuang felt a sense of discomfort.

Lin Shuang felt as if she had plunged headfirst into some kind of Illusion.

Thanks to the enhancement of her mental resistance and the existence of the Mystic Seal of True Sight, Lin Shuang is very sensitive to mental abnormalities.

Could it be that I'm too sensitive, and therefore allergic to overly abundant Memoria?

Lin Shuang attempted to activate the [Mystic Seal of True Sight].

It felt like the skill had been successfully activated and had a real effect, but nothing in front of me had changed in the slightest.

This made Lin Shuang wonder if what she had just broken through was merely a simple Memoria?

"Lin Shuang, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to help you to the Infirmary for treatment?"

Seeing Lin Shuang's furrowed brows, the Firefly assumed that Lin Shuang was having an adverse reaction to the Memoria of this place.

Many people experience these symptoms and can usually tolerate them.

However, it's best to use some complementary medical methods before adapting to the condition, in order to avoid any problems.

So the Firefly got up and quickly walked over to Lin Shuang, taking her arm.

"Thank you. I'll go lie down in the medical pod for a while. I have this strange feeling of being surrounded by something; maybe I'm just too sensitive to Memoria."

Lin Shuang did not refuse the Firefly's kindness and kept the matter in mind for the time being.

Unfortunately, she didn't have any way to understand Memoria, and simply studying the literature wasn't enough for Lin Shuang to make a judgment on the matter.

She could only wait for one person to show up.

A being with an extremely deep understanding of Memoria, the Black Swan.

Lin Shuang wanted to gain more than just an inquiry; she wanted to obtain information about Memoria- related abilities from her.

The discomfort came on quickly and went away quickly.

Lin Shuang seems to be highly adaptable, in addition to being sensitive to Memoria.

Even after the dizziness subsided, the subtle feeling of swimming on my back in Illusion lingered.

Only if Lin Shuang continuously activates the [Mystic Seal of True Sight] can there be peace and quiet.

But let's not even mention that it will create a Mystic Markings in the eye, making it somewhat noticeable.

Just keeping it running continuously is quite exhausting for Lin Shuang.

Since there doesn't seem to be any immediate danger, Lin Shuang doesn't feel the need to turn this instant-cast skill into a passive skill.

However, this unusual phenomenon made Lin Shuang more wary of Penacony.

Regardless of whether Lin Shuang's feeling was due to the natural environment or human factors,

However, since it can trigger the effect of [Mystic Seal of True Sight], it means that everything in this Star System poses a risk of causing mental harm over a large area.

The Asdana Galaxy seems more dangerous than Lin Shuang imagined?

Lin Shuang pondered silently, wondering if the mastermind behind Penacony this time was using this environment to manipulate Dreamscape or the surroundings?

And assuming that Lin Shuang's perception is indeed problematic.

Therefore, the most likely suspects to exploit the Penacony environment are obviously Family.

It's not impossible.

In short, we should be careful.

After sorting out her thoughts, Lin Shuang stood up and opened the door to the medical ward.

As a result, a person who shouldn't have been there appeared in the corridor ahead.

She wore clothes that clung to her body, showcasing her voluptuous figure to the fullest, and her long blue hair cascaded down her back.

Black Swan toyed with a card, and with her high heels, walked gracefully towards Lin Shuang.

Da--Da--Da--

The heels struck the ground with a rhythmic, crisp sound.

"Hello, little sister. You're neither Long nor Memokeeper, yet you can glimpse the Permanence Remembrance. There's certainly no shortage of interesting things in this Galaxy."

The Black Swan approached Lin Shuang with a smile.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Lin Shuang's cheek.

He bent down slightly, his dazzling eyes, a blend of deep blue and gold, carefully scrutinizing the silent Lin Shuang.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Memokeeper from the Garden of Recollection. You can call me Black Swan."

"What are the Memokeeper from the Garden of Recollection doing here?"

Lin Shuang was surprised that the Black Swan had come to her, but of course, she wasn't surprised at all that the black swan knew about her affairs.

After all, this person's main job is to retrieve Remembrance.

"Of course I came to see you, little sister. You're even more attractive than you think."

The Black Swan's voice is as gentle, elegant, and unhurried as velvet.

It seems to soothe people's hearts with ease.

The Black Swan held up the shimmering card in its hand and asked with a smile:

Would you like a free fortune telling?

"No, I don't have anything I want to know right now."

Lin Shuang took a step back, dodging the Black Swan's hand that was placed on her cheek, and declined the invitation to divination.

Seeing Lin Shuang dodge, the Black Swan smiled and withdrew her hand, then continued:

"No need to rush to refuse; this invitation is valid indefinitely. I know you also have the ability to glimpse fate, but a doctor cannot heal himself. Don't you want to add a little more leverage to your upcoming trip to Penacony?"

Her gentle voice made one want to agree, but it was clear that Lin Shuang had no intention of simply following the Black Swan's lead.

"I don't think a single divination can be considered a bargaining chip, and besides, Memokeeper, your appearance is somewhat suspicious."

Although Lin Shuang knows Black Swan and had indeed considered meeting Black Swan earlier, it doesn't mean she can trust her now.

"The Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection, dedicated to collecting Remembrance from across the universe and reconstructing history, you suddenly appear before me. What do you desire?"

What is the Black Swan eyeing? My Remembrance? Or the ability to upgrade the Light Cone?

Moreover, the ability of the Memokeeper to manipulate Remembrance is unique, and Lin Shuang doesn't like having her underwear exposed so unknowingly.

"And I'll return your words to you, Black Swan. Would you like a free divination?"

"Hmm... that's quite direct, but I like people who speak their minds."

The Black Swan frowned slightly, revealing a pitiful expression.

"Your ability to modify Light Cone is quite intriguing. And the Remembrance shrouded in mist... to be able to block the vision of a Memokeeper in the Asdana Galaxy, that's no ordinary feat."

The Asdana Galaxy is Star System with an abundance of Memoria, and as a player Memokeeper manipulates Remembrance, one would naturally thrive here.

Abilities in all aspects can be significantly improved due to a suitable environment.

Under these circumstances, even the Black Swan couldn't clearly discern what Lin Shuang's Remembrance were like.

Everything seemed shrouded in mist, preventing the observation of the Black Swan.

In addition, Lin Shuang previously demonstrated her ability to directly deconstruct and reconstruct the Light Cone.

This finally prompted the Black Swan to reveal itself.

She is indeed focused on history, but that doesn't stop her from becoming curious when she encounters someone like Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang was stunned for a moment after hearing Black Swan's words.

Shrouded in mist? Is something preventing the Memokeeper from peering into her Remembrance?

Lin Shuang subconsciously thought of the system.

Although this thing likes to point and criticize at Lin Shuang every day.

But considering all the random stuff I've gotten so far...

It seems reasonable that the system could prevent a Memokeeper seeker from prying into its system.

Seeing that Black Swan's expression didn't seem fake, Lin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

But I wasn't completely at ease.

"That's my secret. Anyway, it's none of your business. Are you suggesting that Garden of Recollection is going to lay a hand on me?"

"Hehe~ It seems the little sister has some misunderstandings about the Garden of Recollection."

The Black Swan ignored Lin Shuang's wariness and laughed easily:

"The Garden of Recollection's controlled Light Cone technology is designed to prevent the misuse of Remembrance imprinting, not to monopolize this technology. Although I don't know exactly how you did it, as long as you don't do anything reckless, it's fine."

"So, you mean you came to see me simply because you're interested in me? And want to be friends?"

Lin Shuang wasn't entirely convinced by Black Swan's explanation, especially if Garden of Recollection's attitude was truly so magnanimous.

It's not like only companies are producing Light Cone now.
