Black Swan: Next Time We Meet, Dance With Me.
"Oh? I wonder where little sister got this information? I'm very curious."
Black Swan was genuinely curious if what Lin Shuang said was true.
So where should we get this information from?
In Penacony, the Family is basically all-powerful, but because of Harmony beliefs, the experience isn't that bad.
The Black Swan believed it was acting without understanding Penacony.
It was only through the Memokeeper's methods and adaptation to the environment that they were able to learn about Penacony's secrets so quickly.
How did Lin Shuang come to know this?
"This is my private secret, so I can't just tell you."
Lin Shuang gave the Black Swan a mysterious smile.
You definitely wouldn't say something like that if you heard it from someone during a story segment in the game.
It would be better to feign mystery; that would make people wary.
Just then...
Thump--thump--
A heavy sound came from behind the door at the end of the corridor.
The Black Swan smiled and said:
"Hmm... looks like we're having bad luck, about to run into a troublemaker. Should we take a detour?"
"No need. The Monster appearing here are probably Memory Zone Meme."
"Oh? So you've already got information on this kind of thing too?"
The Black Swan gestured with interest, while simultaneously producing a strange weapon and a flurry of Card in its hand.
"I wonder if you mind, my dear, letting me see you in battle. Of course, I will do my best to assist you."
Boom--
A slight rumbling sound emanated from Lin Shuang's hand.
As flames erupted, the beautiful Greatsword automatically fell into his hand.
As the Greatsword appeared, melodious music filled the quiet passageway.
"..."
It was so quiet here that the beautiful singing voice stood out all the more.
In addition, Lin Shuang had recently made good progress in her singing practice, so she changed the audio source to her own voice.
Black Swan smiled at Lin Shuang, a strange expression on her face.
He raised his hand to cover his mouth and chuckled softly:
"I didn't expect the little girl's fighting style to be so unique."
"... This is a method for improving one's condition, learned from Firefly, not a particular quirk."
Lin Shuang hesitated for a moment, but still chose to explain something to the Black Swan.
But the Black Swan's expression did not improve; instead, it became more amused.
"Okay, I see. I'll remember that."
"..."
It seems the Black Swan project doesn't believe it at all.
Lin Shuang was a little speechless, although she knew that what she was saying was somewhat abstract.
After Firefly relies on its song to convey Harmony, and that's also due to the power of its voice and Path.
You used a pre-recorded version and put it inside the Greatsword for automatic playback.
It gives people a different feeling.
It's really hard to believe.
But in fact, Lin Shuang did trigger the effect of the skill [Tonight, the stars echo because of me (The Permanence Version)].
Although there was no detailed data, Lin Shuang felt that her strength had increased by at least 10%.
And if Lin Shuang can sing even better in the future, she can improve even further.
Lin Shuang shook her head, deciding to ignore the current situation.
He strode forward and pushed open the door at the end of the corridor.
As long as you're not embarrassed, then it's others who will be embarrassed!
Thud--
The door was pushed open in one swift motion.
In a dimly lit hall, there stood a tall, dragon-shaped Monster with purple crystals as its main body and golden metal armor.
It is wantonly destroying everything here.
"Roar--!!"
It resembled a dinosaur-like Monster from Lin Shuang's past life Remembrance, with relatively small forepaws, thick hind limbs, and Tail.
The moment Lin Shuang and Black Swan entered the room.
It let out a piercing roar and charged towards Lin Shuang!
"So this is the Memory Zone Meme... It really does look different in person."
Lin Shuang watched the giant dragon rushing towards her and felt nothing but wonder.
Its body is composed of this peculiar crystalline substance, but when it runs, it doesn't appear to be a hard, crystalline structure.
There was something like a core growing on his chest.
With a roar, Lin Shuang felt a force rushing towards her.
Boom--!
Lin Shuang flipped over and unleashed a powerful sword strike.
The deep, sharp spikes that pierced the ground like earth spikes were engulfed by the flames.
The attack aimed at Heitian was also swept away by the Greatsword and broken in two.
The Black Swan floated in mid-air, its body slightly retreating, and asked with great interest:
Is this your first time seeing Memory Zone Meme, little sister?
"Yes."
Lin Shuang responded, and then flames surged all over her body Herrscher of Flames of Corruption quickly replaced her original clothes.
Then, like a shooting star, it rushed towards the towering dragon.
"Roar--!!!"
Boom--!!
The dragon, its attack blocked, angrily slapped its Tail, roaring as its aura intensified.
The Monster lunged forward, and as it drew near Lin Shuang, its massive head slammed down towards her.
Just as Lin Shuang raised her sword and swung it...
A strange formation suddenly appeared at the Monster's feet.
Then, a twisted and eerie giant hand burst forth from the purple formation as if shattering a mirror.
With immense force, it gripped the Monster's throat and head.
He then flipped it over and slammed it hard onto the ground.

Chapter 291 Black Swan: Next time we meet, let's dance.
Lin Shuang stared at the giant dragon being pressed to the ground by those strange hands.
He flipped the greatsword in his hand, and the sharp blade, wreathed in raging flames, slashed down!
The raging fire turned the Monster's body into charcoal, and the sharp blades tore the tough crystals to shreds.
The ferocious Monster had no chance to resist under Lin Shuang's sword and turned to ashes, disappearing into the air.
The giant hands that had been binding the Monster slowly retreated to an unknown location.
Lin Shuang sheathed her greatsword, but remained in her armored state.
She looked at the now empty ground.
I have some subtle reflections on the methods used to deal with Black Swan.
I already felt something was off in the game.
However, in reality, the attack methods of Black Swan are somewhat frightening.
Rather than feeling mysterious, it felt more like an atmosphere of 'fear of the unknown'.
"Hehe~ That's impressive, darling. You're even more efficient than I imagined."
The Black Swan appeared nearby at some point, hovering in mid-air, and brought its pretty face close.
Unable to access Lin Shuang's Remembrance, Black Swan's understanding of Lin Shuang is limited to information gathered from others.
Although Black Swan knew Lin Shuang was skilled in battle, this was the first time she had seen her specific fighting style.
"Your attack method, however, seems quite mysterious."
Lin Shuang turned her head to look at the Black Swan. It was hard to see any other emotions in those gentle eyes; they had an unfathomable quality.
"It's not a particularly impressive technique; I think your sword is far more powerful."
The Black Swan looked at Lin Shuang with great interest.
She could sense three different Path within the sword she had just encountered.
Although among those Pathstrider, there are those who walk multiple Path.
But for someone like Lin Shuang to simultaneously elevate the three types of Path power to this level of strength is something that ordinary people cannot do.
"What a pity, if I didn't have other things to do, I should have secretly followed you the other day."
Black Swan spoke casually, but said something that made Lin Shuang feel a little heavy.
To talk about stalking so openly is somewhat perverse.
I still hope you won't secretly follow me.
Hehe~
Faced with Lin Shuang's teasing, Black Swan covered her mouth and chuckled, looking quite pleased.
The two moved forward through the upside-down and chaotic hall, mainly relying on the Black Swan for guidance.
Reality isn't a game; it can't plan your route perfectly.
The decision of which direction to take can only be made by the capabilities of Black Swan.
Along the way.
Lin Shuang and Black Swan also encountered some scattered Memory Zone Meme.
These Monster, formed from fragments of subconsciousness within the Memory Zone, could only yield chaotic and incomprehensible information to Lin Shuang even when she attempted to probe them.
It's practically useless.
After going around in circles.
Finally, Lin Shuang and the Black Swan stopped in front of a door.
"Go through this door, and you'll be able to get back to the Reverie."
