Watching the movie! It brought a small shock to the heavens!

"Brother, you're putting too much pressure on yourself." (From the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, by the Robin)

[On Sunday, he shook his head, his feigned smile fading once more.]

"I never take on any risks. The cornerstone must be safeguarded by the family."

"Really nothing to talk about?"

Sand Gold wanted to try again, but Sunday just looked at him expressionlessly, her eyes cold.

"Don't make me refuse a second time."

"Ew~ Such a strong desire for control, male chauvinism is no good! No girl will like that~" To Love-Ru world, Risa Momioka.

Seeing the other person's resolute gaze, Sand Gold could only sigh helplessly, revealing a hint of dejection.

"Sigh... Fine, I'll take back the gift money, you should at least give it to me. A merchant can't get anywhere without bargaining chips."

To Sand Gold's surprise, he still didn't budge on Sunday, and even gave a mocking chuckle.

"You compromised faster than I expected. Unfortunately, gamblers need chips more than businessmen. I can give you a bribe, but before that, I want you to tell me yourself—"

[As he spoke, Sunday slowly walked to the box and backpack on the table, and began asking questions while holding the answers.]

"What exactly is stored in this box that you so decisively abandoned?"

[On Sunday, he asked, turning to stare intently at the gold dust, seemingly waiting for a ridiculous answer so he could personally expose the truth!]

Sand Gold remained silent, but met Sunday's gaze without flinching; he knew the other hadn't finished speaking.

【as expected!】

"[O soul of three faces, brand his tongue and the palms of his hands with a hot iron, so that he may not fabricate lies or make false oaths.]"

Suddenly, Sunday spoke slowly and in a deep voice, but the sound was strangely ethereal and dreamlike!

In an instant, the entire room was filled with Sunday's hollow voice!

Suddenly, Sand Gold felt a strange, indescribable power descend upon him!

"...What did you do?"

[Sajin asked gravely, his tone no longer as light as before. That power had shattered all his defenses, engulfing his entire body!]

[I never expected this! They even use such tactics on Sundays!]

"A soul with three faces? A Mother Goddess with three eyes? Good heavens, I wouldn't believe it's a coincidence!" Battle Through the Heavens world, Xiao Yan.

"Could it be that gold dust and Sunday were related five hundred years ago?" - Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"Just like a certain film, it's all a family affair!" - Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"Five hundred years ago?" In the world of Black Myth: Wukong, the Chosen One.

"Damn! I really misjudged him. I thought Sunday looked like a decent guy and would use some upright methods! I didn't expect him to be casting a curse on someone! A real curse!" Zhang Chulan from Under One Person World.

"Could Sunday suddenly become enraged and want to kill Sand Gold to vent his anger?" Xia Ling, in the world of Soul Street.

"No, Harmony encompasses everything. The power my brother is using now is a baptism that everyone who joins the 'family' must undergo; it poses no harm." —Robin, Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"Hehe~" Welcome to the world of Classroom of the Elite. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji raised an eyebrow. This kind of imposed power, to say that it is harmless, is a fool's errand!

"Under the light of [Harmony], all evil has nowhere to hide. I implore Him to descend His light and to ask you questions on His behalf. Now... you have 113 seconds to prove your innocence and gain my trust."

[He explained on Sunday that he now sets the rules of the game!]

"Wow! I noticed! Latio is looking over here! He's worried about the gold dust! Hehehe~" To Love-Ru world, Risa Momioka.

"I get it, Tongxie is a lie detector. Looks like I have a Tongxie in my family too. (Serious face)" - Anonymous from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"Huh~ Sunday is so handsome, but he's just like Sardine, both control freaks." Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Lü Xiaoyu.

"What if I refuse to answer?"

[Sajin asked seriously, his expression grim.]

"Then let's give it a try—let's see if [Tongxie] will refuse you."

"On Sunday, with an air of certainty, he didn't wait for Sand Gold's reaction and immediately began asking questions. Now, all those company envoys, cornerstones, and command envoys are merely playthings in his hands."

[Immediately, the hollow, dreamlike voice rang out again! This is the sign that Sunday is using its power!]

[Question: Do you hold cornerstone positions?]

Although the gold miners were unwilling, they currently had no way to break the deadlock and could only follow the opponent's lead for the time being.

【"yes."】

As he was questioned, the feeling of being corrupted by some inexplicable force intensified. Sand Gold calmly considered his options and gave a concise answer.

"A very concise answer. You understand the principle that too much talk leads to mistakes."

[On Sunday, he chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying the other person's feeble struggle, and continued to ask questions.]

[Did you hand over the cornerstone to your family upon entry into the country?]

【"yes."】

[“Does the foundation you entrusted to the family truly belong to you?”]

【"yes."】

"[Is your foundation right here in this room?]"

【"yes."】

["[Have your memories been altered or deleted in any way, including but not limited to the technology of the Memory Palace?]"]

【"yes."】

"Oh no, the question is so rigorous, Sand Gold is probably really going to be Barbie Q this time!" Fruit Warriors World, Pineapple Snow.

Chapter 169 The Vanishing Foundation

"What a question! If Sand Gold's memories were altered or deleted, he wouldn't even know it himself... No, wait!" Xia Ling, in the Soul Town world.

"Ignoring willpower and directly interrogating 'reality'? Hehehe, interesting~" Orochimaru, Naruto world.

"Or perhaps, it's about interrogating all the gold dust across different timelines." Yuanlong World, Wang Sheng.

"No matter which possibility it is, it's way too damn out of line!" - Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.

[Are you from the Evikin clan of Tzinia?]

"Yes, you even know that."

Sand Gold stared intently at Sunday's calm and collected eyes. To find his information in such a short time—this Sunday was truly remarkable!

"Next comes the real questioning, where you subtly obtain the information you seek. Seemingly insignificant questions are actually full of fragments." — Ibiki Morino, Naruto World.

"Finally, by piecing together all the fragments, we can obtain a satisfactory answer." —Ibiki Morino, Naruto World.

[Do the Evgenians lack any ability to read, alter, or manipulate their own or others' thoughts?]

"No, does it matter?"

[Sajin's tone grew colder, and his face darkened completely. Back then, the Evikin people could be said to have died because of rumors!]

"Manipulating their thoughts? @Star Journey World, Sardine, are you talking about this person?" So what if I'm reincarnated as a spider? Spider Child.

"?" Star Journey World, Sardine.

"It's okay, dwarf brother, go play~" So what if I was reincarnated as a spider in this world, Spider Child.

"I'm so angry!" In the Star Journey world, Sardine blushed instantly!

[On Sunday, he keenly noticed the change in Sand Gold's tone and, inexplicably, suddenly asked.]

Do you love your family more than you love yourself?

The heart of the gold mine suddenly clenched!

Could it be that Sunday is the culprit?!

Looking directly into the other person's eyes, Sand Gold's statement was resolute and certain.

【"yes."】

[“[All the Evgenians died in a massacre, didn’t they?]”]

【"no."】

"Pfft~ What a question! Sand Gold: I'm not human! Am I even human?!" Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Lu Xiaoyu.

Are you the only survivor in your clan?

This time, Sand Gold fell silent, his head bowed, making it impossible to discern his expression.

"...Maybe."

"The outcome is decided." Fu Xuan, in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"Huh? Could it be that the gold dust is lying?" Eros Chocolate World, Metata.

"I also heard that broadcast from several years ago. In the years that followed, there was no trace of the Evikinians' activities in the galaxy." Alan, in the Collapsed Star Dome Railway World.

"But for the naturally gifted Evikin, this is almost impossible if there are other survivors." —Dan Heng, Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"...So, Sand Gold knew the answer, but still chose to believe in that slim hope?" Xia Ling, from the world of Soul Town Street.

"Sigh~ It's not exactly hopeless. In the vast universe, anything can happen. That glimmer of hope, though faint, has never faded away." —Dia, Star Journey World.

"[—Do you hate this world and want to destroy it with your own hands?]"

【“…”】

Upon hearing Sunday's words, Sand Gold looked up in surprise.

"Hiss~ Something's not right! Something's definitely not right! ... These three! Are they trying to seduce me?!" —Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"Ever since watching the movie about Sand Gold, it feels like everyone he encounters can't speak properly. This makes me wonder if Sunday's question was also meant to have a hidden meaning?!" My senior brother's brain is full of holes, Dongfang Xianyun.

"Damn! Now that you're talking about it, it suddenly feels like Sunday is trying to lure Sand Gold into doing something that will destroy the world?" Super God Academy World, Ge Xiaolun.

"Hey, Sunday: The mole is myself!" Genshin Impact world, Venti.

【"I have no idea."】

Sand Gold let out a long sigh; he was now a little confused about the purpose of Sunday.

"[Interesting. So, one last question..."]

"Can you swear that at this moment—[aventurine] lies safely and soundly in this box?"

[He spoke leisurely on Sunday, deliberately emphasizing the words 'aventurine,' as if he were digging a trap for agate.]

[As if knowing what Sunday was going to do, Dr. Truth, standing to the side, gave a soft hum and closed her eyes.]

【“…”】

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back; the gold dust remained silent for a long time.

【"……certainly."】

"Holy crap! What did Sunday want to ask? Did they already know they'd be watching the movie, so they hid their real question within some other question?"

"What exactly did Sand Gold's final answer mean? Of course it is? Of course it isn't? Playing word games, huh?!" So what if I'm reincarnated as a spider in this world, Spider Child.

"Sigh, everyone is bullying Sand Gold. Why don't we let Sand Gold bully Star again?" Peach Blossom in the Hundred Demon Records world.

"?!" Xing was shocked in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World!

Listen to this! Listen to this! Is this even human language?!

Upon hearing Sand Gold's final answer, Sunday already knew the outcome of this duel.

He gave a light snort, his tone smug.

"It seems we've found the answer."

"Open it, Mr. Gold Sand... This is your last chance to protect your reputation."

[As he spoke, Sunday walked to the table, picked up the box, glanced at it contemptuously as if it were trash, then gently pushed it, and the box slid smoothly off the table into the gold dust.]

Seeing Sunday's confident demeanor, Sand Gold lowered his eyes to look at the box, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he looked up at Ladio!

Ladio, seemingly feeling guilty, avoided Sand Gold's gaze, stroking his chin and pretending to be very busy.
