Robin: Lin Shuang, Let Me Lean on You for a While.
After a pause, Lin Shuang's tone softened:
I have things to do today, let's do it another day.
Sparkle Huo noticed Lin Shuang's changing expression, and her smile widened.
He suddenly stretched out his hands towards Lin Shuang.
"What?"
"The business is done, shouldn't we go back now? You've left them completely exhausted, so you have to take responsibility for them~"
"..."
Looking at the Sparkle with their hands raised, Lin Shuang really didn't think this person was unable to walk.
But after thinking about it, I still reached out and grabbed it.
He carried the Sparkle on his shoulder.
With her other hand, she carried Sparkle's sandals as she left the dimly lit room.
With Sparkle leading the Mika, Lin Shuang and Sparkle successfully left Dreamflux Reef.
I'm back in my Dreamscape.
Lin Shuang looked up at the sky and, as expected, could neither see Dreamflux Reef nor the Black Hole.
"Hehe, see you next time, little white-haired guy."
As soon as she returned to her Dreamscape, Sparkle jumped off Lin Shuang's shoulder and waved with a grin.
Then it skipped and hopped away.

Chapter 300 The Firefly: Lin Shuang, let me lean on you for a bit.
Lin Shuang did not chase after the Sparkle.
I didn't even bother asking for her contact information.
Based on this person's previous actions, she could always find herself if she wanted to.
At least in terms of appearing and disappearing unpredictably, Lin Shuang admitted that she couldn't compare to Sparkle.
Just as Lin Shuang was emerging from her dream.
The phone rang with a message from Firefly.
Pressing the answer button, the Firefly's anxious voice came to my ear:
"Lin Shuang! Are you alright?! What just happened? Where are you now?"
"Calm down Firefly, I'm fine."
Seeing Lin Shuang sitting unharmed on the other end of the phone, Firefly was stunned for a while before pressing her hand to her chest and letting out a long sigh of relief.
"I was so scared! I suddenly couldn't reach you. I thought something had happened to you."
Because both Lin Shuang and the Firefly knew that in Penacony's Dreamscape, there were cases of Dream Chaser unexpectedly disappearing or dying.
Therefore, during the investigation...
The two of them would contact each other every now and then.
This is to prevent one party from losing contact while the other party remains completely unaware.
And today.
After Lin Shuang went to Dreamflux Reef, communication was naturally cut off. The Firefly was startled when it discovered that Lin Shuang was missing.
She immediately contacted members of the Hound Family to help search for Lin Shuang's whereabouts during the Golden Hour.
Even now.
Lin Shuang returned to reality, and communications were restored.
The Firefly breathed a sigh of relief.
"So what happened? There shouldn't be any signal interruption in Dreamscape."
However, as the robin relaxed, it also began to Firefly what Lin Shuang had gone through.
In Dreamscape, all sorts of things can happen, but there will never be a situation where there is no signal coverage.
Just as death doesn't exist in Dreamscape, this can be said to be a consensus within Penacony's Dreamscape.
However, even under these circumstances, Lin Shuang lost contact with several System Hour.
This will naturally attract the Firefly.
Lin Shuang paused for a moment, then asked:
"Let's discuss this in detail in my room in real life when you're free."
"Oh? Okay, I'll be right there!"
Seeing Lin Shuang's attitude, the Firefly immediately realized that she had probably found out something.
So he hurriedly agreed and hung up the phone.
Not long after.
A knock sounded at the door, and then the Firefly hurriedly ran in.
"Lin Shuang, have you discovered something?"
"Don't rush, have some water first."
Lin Shuang smiled and poured a cup of tea for the Firefly, handing it to him.
Then he gently patted the Firefly's back to let her catch her breath.
The tiny feathers behind its ears fluttered gently in sync with the Firefly's movements.
She lowered her head and took a few sips of tea to calm her breathing.
"Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush."
"It's alright, there's still time. I'll tell you what happened today..."
Lin Shuang had no intention of hiding anything; apart from what happened on Sunday, she could tell Firefly everything else directly.
Including Gallagher, Strange Memory Zone Meme, Dreamflux Reef, Mika, and even Sparkle.
Of course, the process of Silver Wolf, Stellaron Hunter, and Lin Shuang using special methods to interrogate Sparkle is omitted.
These are facts that I'm really embarrassed to tell others directly.
Besides, it wasn't exactly important intelligence, so it didn't really matter.
"Beyond the Dreamscape, there was a settlement... Is this the truth about death?"
After listening to Lin Shuang's story, the Firefly understood the answer to the riddle in the Invitation.
"You can ask me for details after you've been there in person; after all, I don't know much about Penacony's history."
Lin Shuang was referring to Mika, who clearly had no qualms about telling everyone about Penacony's past.
The Firefly nodded; she did indeed have many questions to ask.
"But speaking of which, can that Masked Fools... be trusted?"
"Have no idea."
"Have no idea?"
The Firefly, holding its cup, looked at Lin Shuang with some surprise, its silly expression quite adorable.
"I need to ask a friend to confirm. Speaking of which, that girl is elusive; if she really wants to do something, there's no stopping her."
"Hmm..."
Upon hearing Lin Shuang's assessment, the Firefly frowned in distress.
Penacony's problems appear to be Firefly had anticipated.
Putting aside the mole, the fact that Penacony hid a Stellaron to maintain the Dreamscape is a testament to that.
Let the Firefly take his time to process it.
Her home planet was destroyed by its Stellaron, and she grew up in Penacony under the care of her Harmony Family.
Now tell her that Penacony also has a Stellaron.
Moreover, from the past to the present, it has been slowly and silently maintaining the stability of the Dreamscape with human lives.
This stark contrast undoubtedly challenged the Firefly's beliefs.
"I'm sorry, Lin Shuang, I may need some time to accept this fact..."
The Firefly was somewhat taken aback; she rubbed her temples.
Then the wings drooped listlessly.
"There's plenty of time, and you're not alone, so there's no need to rush."
Lin Shuang sat down next to the Firefly and poured herself a cup of tea.
Firefly tilted its body slightly and rested its head on Lin Shuang's shoulder.
"Did you know that my Brother's and my home planet were also Destruction by the Stellaron Disaster? It was our Family that took us in and gave us a new home."
Her voice was softer than usual, sounding more fragile.
Lin Shuang resisted the urge to reach out and touch the Firefly, and listened as she continued her story.
"My Brother and I grew up in the Family. I follow the principles of Harmony, traversing the universe, helping the weak with the strong, and protecting the living with the dead..."
"If the Family that raised us is itself robbing lives in the name of Harmony, then I can only choose to deny it in the name of Harmony. But that..."
The Firefly did not shake his faith.
She, who has witnessed countless events throughout the universe, possesses a steadfast sense of self.
If it means she has to break away Harmony her Family, she will reject Family.
Regardless, the Family had saved her and Sunday, and indeed many other members of the Halovian, and had shown them the kindness of being saved and raised.
And the Firefly can swear that Penacony has never treated them unfairly.
However, the Firefly may now be diverging from the Penacony.
This internal conflict left her feeling exhausted.
"... Lin Shuang."
"What?"
"Do you think my Brother, as the Head of the Family of the Oak Family, knew about these things but deliberately didn't tell me?"
Who knows?
"Let me lean on you for a moment, Lin Shuang..."
After he finished speaking, the Firefly fell silent.
She's not fragile; she just needs some time to process her emotions.
Lin Shuang sighed softly to herself and said nothing more.
This time, however, Lin Shuang raised her hand and placed it on the Firefly's head.
He gently stroked it.
I haven't really felt anything in the game yet.
But after Lin Shuang actually learned what this girl had done in the universe...
Lin Shuang clearly realized that she was much stronger than she appeared.
