This made Lin Shuang laugh for a long time.

Then she never let Lin Shuang see her answer the phone again.

Bring your wandering thoughts back.

Lin Shuang, despite her narcissistic belief that the Firefly pleased with herself.

However, he certainly didn't have the heart to say it directly.

"Shall I go into my dream now?"

"Okay, I'll go back after you're in my dream."

The Firefly, holding an exquisite Teacup, smiled at Lin Shuang.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang didn't say anything, and stepped into the seashell-shaped Dream Pool while still dressed.

The liquid in the Dream Pool felt strange to Lin Shuang; it was quite different from the liquids she usually came into contact with.

Or perhaps this thing isn't a liquid at all.

Lin Shuang didn't pay much attention. She slowly lay down, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes.

And when I closed my eyes, I could only Firefly lingering in my ears:

See you later, Lin Shuang.

Then, it switched to a female voice that had been set up by the Family:

"Please relax and feel the rise and fall of your body..."

Focus on your breathing, imagine a paradise... imagine a land of dreams.

Soon, a feeling of gradually sinking arose spontaneously.

Lin Shuang drifted with the waves as if she had fallen into the deep sea, and at this moment, perhaps because of the new skill she had just drawn...

It was because Lin Shuang's previous skills were taking effect.

Lin Shuang saw many flickering images.

The magnificent lobby of the Reverie, Dreamscape under construction.

Ruined streets, a gigantic Black Hole...

Old people, children, Hanunu.

Origami Bird, crying, cheering, fighting...

A desolate Wasteland, Monster flashing by, and even Star Rail Express setting sail.

Lin Shuang saw many scenes that didn't seem to belong to Penacony.

Perhaps these belong to the Penacony of the past.

Lin Shuang realized that she should have intimate contact with the Memoria, and in the process of falling into Dreamscape, she captured the Remembrance that existed there.

But just like the skill description.

The fragmented and brief pieces of Remembrance were unlikely to provide Lin Shuang with any valuable information.

Moreover, the process of entering a dream is very brief.

Soon, when Lin Shuang opened her eyes again...

She then arrived at a space with a distinctly gloomy atmosphere.

The space here is somewhat disorienting. Although it looks very similar to the rooms in the real the Reverie, many of the furniture and decorations are floating in mid-air, creating a kind of distorted beauty.

If I remember correctly, the main character also came here.

"Here..."

This is clearly not a proper the Reverie.

Where exactly is this place?

Lin Shuang attempted to activate the [Mystic Seal of True Sight], allowing her to assess the current situation.

This is indeed a dream, but it's definitely not Dreamscape of Penacony's.

Is it the area beyond Dreamscape?

Although I haven't thought about this question much, it seems reasonable when I think about it this way.

Ultimately, the overflowing Memoria filling the entire Star System was a natural disaster.

Penacony was merely a Dreamscape built upon this foundation by the Family.

Theoretically speaking, the Family should have simply enclosed a piece of land and been indulging in their own Dreamscape. It's reasonable that such a chaotic and disorderly place exists outside of that Dreamscape.

"Speaking of which, the Reverie said they arranged for guides... where are they?"

Lin Shuang wandered around the room, wanting to try and explore this layer of the Dreamscape.

However, after trying it, I found that the door to this room couldn't be opened in the usual way; there was only a Dreamscape Frame that looked exactly like the ones in the game, which you could enter through.

Lin Shuang reached out and tapped on the wall. If she relied on her skills, she could forcefully break through this barrier.

But what lies on the other side of the wall is too unknown.

I don't know if I'll be able to escape this Dreamscape if something unexpected happens.

We can wait until we gather more information before embarking on the expedition.

Since Penacony, I'd better play it safe first.

Thinking this, Lin Shuang deactivated her skill and walked towards the tall Dreamscape Frame next to the room.

Although she didn't know why her Family members hadn't shown up, she at least remembered that this was the path to her Dreamscape.

But before Lin Shuang could even touch it, the Dreamscape Frame suddenly lit up on its own.

Then, Firefly with Halo around its head hopped out of the Dreamscape Frame.

"Heave--"

The Firefly, which landed lightly on the ground, couldn't help but laugh when it saw Lin Shuang's surprised expression.

She stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Shuang, asking with a touch of playfulness:

Am I late?

"Firefly? What are you doing here?"

"Of course I came here specifically to see you."

The Firefly smiled and waved to Lin Shuang, then took her hand and led her towards the Dreamscape Frame.

"The Reverie is experiencing some temporary issues, and each guest needs to be guided upon arrival, so I thought it would be better if I came to pick you up personally."

Lin Shuang watched as the Firefly led her into the light emanating from the Dreamscape Frame.

He squinted and answered:

"Thank you then, Firefly."

"It's okay, it's okay, we're friends."

As the light faded, a Nihility space was revealed, containing only a corridor, and within this corridor, the viewpoint was another large Dreamscape Frame.

"Come, walk this way. If we go through that Dreamscape Frame over there, we'll reach the Golden Hour."

The Firefly pointed to the end of the road and then led Lin Shuang quickly towards it.

Volume 1: Chapter 202 Miss Sparkle, Practice Makes Perfect

Lin Shuang looked down at the hand she was being led by, then looked up at the Firefly's retreating figure.

He didn't speak.

There's always a subtle feeling in my heart.

The texture also seemed a bit off.

Even though it was a dream, something still felt off.

Lin Shuang's mental resistance and ability to perceive Memoria made her keenly aware of a slight sense of incongruity.

While they were still thinking, the two of them had quickly crossed the corridor and arrived in front of the Dreamscape Frame.

The Firefly in front of him suddenly stopped.

"Alright, once we get through here, we'll reach Penacony's Dreamscape. Let's go in!"

The Firefly politely stepped aside, giving Lin Shuang the entrance and gesturing for her to go in first.

Lin Shuang didn't rush inside, but instead looked at the Firefly and asked:

Aren't you coming along?

"I'll be there soon, and we'll be landing at slightly different locations."

As they were talking, the Firefly suddenly stepped forward, boldly approaching Lin Shuang 'Lin Shuang side and tiptoeing to her ear.

He said it ambiguously, and in a low voice:

Enjoy this Dreamscape, hehe~

Accompanied by a slightly unnatural chuckle, the Firefly suddenly took a step back, raised his hand to press Lin Shuang's shoulder and shove her forward, as if he wanted to push Lin Shuang directly into the Dreamscape Frame.

But just as those hands were about to touch Lin Shuang...

Snap--

Lin Shuang quickly turned around and grabbed 'Firefly's' wrist.

Then, seeing the Firefly's surprised expression, Lin Shuang's lips curled up, and a complex Mystic Markings appeared in her eyes.

His sharp eyes seemed to see right through the 'Firefly'.

"Lin Shuang... you're pinching me too hard..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shuang suddenly pulled hard, reached out and hugged the 'Firefly' in front of her tightly, pressing it into her arms.

Then he fell backward and crashed headfirst into the lit Dreamscape Frame.

As the light faded, the solid ground transformed into the wind whistling past my ears.

Lin Shuang looked down at the dazzling, dreamlike Dreamscape below, then glanced at the 'Firefly' still nestled in her arms.

He lowered his head, brought his mouth close to her ear, and said:

"Playing the role of someone I know in front of me isn't a good idea, Masked Fools, the Sparkle."

Once her identity was exposed, Sparkle instantly reverted to her original form, her long blue hair transforming into black twin tails.

The beautiful dress was transformed into a red miniskirt.

Even her figure shrank considerably in Lin Shuang's arms.

Then, Sparkle, whose head was buried in Lin Shuang's chest, looked up, appearing troubled.

"Oh my~ I really didn't expect you, little white-haired one, to be so perceptive, seeing through my disguise so quickly. Hey, tell me how you figured it out? Or is my technique not good enough?"

"Probably, you just need to practice more."

Lin Shuang didn't hold back at all. After all, in her memory, although Sparkle hadn't made a move, he hadn't said a single nice word.

She's the kind of 'little devil' who makes you want to clench your fists and punish her severely.

"Ugh... How boring, I was seen through so easily. Alright, little white-haired guy, let me go, I need to go back and train properly!"

Sparkle waved her little fist, but Lin Shuang didn't let go. Instead, she grinned:

"I won't let go."

"I didn't expect Little White Hair to like Sparkle so much. But we're going to fall headfirst, aren't we?"

Sparkle's tone carried a hint of anxiety, but it sounded more like an act deliberately intended for Lin Shuang to hear.

So Lin Shuang didn't let go; instead, she rolled over and pinned Sparkle underneath her.
