“The aventurine’s light… has vanished. This can only mean one thing…”

"Emerald: "He kept his promise... and got what he wanted."

"Topa seemed a little sad and sighed softly: "According to the plan, your [Foundation Stone] has been successfully delivered to the family's territory. So-"

“—Let’s fulfill our duties and begin the [Harvest].”

"..."

"And then, in the sleeper's cradle, deep within the sweet dreams of the Star of Gala—another jade began to shine."

"Emerald smiled deeply."

"I come to see you, I come to refill your wine, I come to take possession."

"I bestow poison upon the nectar, sow in spring and harvest in autumn, and wait patiently for the branches to be filled with withered fruit."

"All for... the Amber King."

Naruto.

"Isn't this voice... the same pink-haired woman who brought Gold Sand to the company?"

Mei Terumi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This woman didn't look like a good person. Now, listening to her conversation, it seemed that she was a woman with even tougher methods than Sha Jin.

For some reason, she was reminded of Kafka. Although the two had nothing to do with each other, she always felt that they had something in common.

...could it be dangerous?

As the Mizukage, her intuition told her that this was a woman more dangerous than Sagine.

"She and Toppa's cornerstones are both held captive by Sunday. No matter how powerful this woman is, can she be stronger than Gold Sand in her transformed form?" The Raikage crossed his arms, his tone rather dismissive. "If not, then she poses no threat to the clan."

"That's not the case. She's higher up in the company than Gold Sand. At her level... force is often a last resort. She won't resort to it unless absolutely necessary." Ōnoki stroked his long beard. "Do you remember the scene when Topa recaptured Beloberg? The company's approach has always been to use courtesy first, then force. Hisui's intervention was probably just to try to achieve the best possible outcome."

"What kind of moral character does this company have? Everything for the Amber King? Humph...it sounds better than anything else. If this deal falls through, hehe..." Ohnoki closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, "...the family will have no choice but to wait for the cannons of thousands of fleets."

"At the same time, deep in the memory realm."

"Xing tried to open her eyes, but all she saw was darkness."

She rubbed her head and asked, "Where is this?"

"Memories gradually surfaced, and time flowed back to a few minutes ago: Gold Dust launched its final attack, a rain of glittering chips poured down, and Huang Quan immediately drew his sword, and then, "bang" -"

Chapter 422 Pinocchio (One Hundred and Three)

"—An indescribable force severed [Preservation], and the surrounding space and time stagnated instantly. Her thoughts were twisted into a ball in that moment. Her senses failed, and only gravity tore at her brain, and she fell into endless darkness..."

"…until a flame embraced her."

She opened her eyes and heard Sam's cold, mechanical voice: "...You're awake."

Sam looked at the blurry, flowing memory space before him and said calmly, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

"It's you...what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, just waited for you to wake up. You've already seen me, Core Hunter Sam. I wanted to appear before you earlier and tell you some truths. But the resistance I received was greater than I expected. Eleven times, I tried, but failed. Unconsciously, my connection with this world became too close, and it was difficult to escape the constraints of the [Script]. "

“…Elliot is right. In this dreamland, you and I will both gain unforgettable experiences.”

"I don't understand people's hearts as well as he and Kafka, nor do I have the skills of Silver Wolf and Blade. Most of my skills are only applicable to villains who deserve no mercy."

“So—there’s only one method I can use. That’s to show you…”

"Scorching flames instantly enveloped Sam's entire body. The heavy mecha shell gradually disappeared, and the air currents lifted up Xing's clothes. In the overwhelming heat wave, Xing's pupils trembled violently—"

"In the center of the flames, a slender figure slowly descended."

"Liuying clenched the Transformer in her hand. The cracks on her cheeks caused by the loss of entropy were gradually disappearing. She turned around, her tone gentle but firm."

“…my everything.”

One Punch Man.

"She, she...how is it possible? Isn't Sam a man?"

Genos was a little overwhelmed. He stared at the girl who gracefully landed from the flames. The slender figure of Firefly overlapped with the majestic and murderous mecha of Sam in his memory. The strong contrast made his pupils tremble.

"She's able to master so many combat techniques. Where did she learn them? And why does she own such an incredibly powerful mecha? Its firepower is even higher than mine... and the Drive Knight's. Who built it for her?"

Too many questions popped up at once, but what made him even more frustrated was that a young girl in her prime was so skilled in combat, even gaining recognition from her teacher, while he...

"Teacher, what do you think about this?" After being sad for about a minute, Genos finally came out of his depression. It was urgent to become stronger, and he had to cherish every second.

“Me…?”

Saitama scratched his head, and suddenly an idea struck him: "I want to hear her recite her lines in the mecha in this voice! Like that, ahem..." He cleared his throat, "'I will... set the sea on fire', 'Agreement passed, scorched earth operation implemented', 'Leave now, no one will get hurt, otherwise, you will all die'!... Should be fun, right?"

KING, who had put down his controller, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! And you have to say it in front of Xing! You must use a serious tone! Mecha girl... I think there are similar bridges in those gal games of mine -"

KING, who was speaking nonstop, suddenly realized that Genos was beside him. He quickly cleared his throat and pretended to be serious: "The main purpose is to understand her inner fighting spirit through her words this time."

"Is that what you think, teacher? There's actually a deeper meaning behind it..." Genos nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "...Then I'd like to hear it, too."

Gintama.

"Liuliuliuliuli Liuying-chan——???!"

Gintoki's dead fish eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped up from the sofa with a "whoosh" and almost hit the ceiling.

"It's really unfair to find out that my shy girlfriend confessed her feelings to me in the Star Hunter's super mecha at the final showdown!"

"After being confessed to by the most beautiful girl in Pinoconnie, I found out that she is actually the secret ultimate humanoid weapon pilot of the Star Core Hunter!"

"I just wanted to be an ordinary pioneer, but I unexpectedly discovered that the operator of the strongest humanoid armor is actually my rumored girlfriend who has a crush on me?!"

……

In an instant, countless light novel titles popped up in Gintoki's mind like popping beans.

——He really needs this kind of dreamlike development that can only be seen in light novels and anime!

"Damn it! Can I be the protagonist for a day? I'm so envious of being able to date a beautiful girl and pilot her mecha at the same time! How can I fix this!"

Gintoki slammed the table in grief and shed tears of jealousy.

"You're already the protagonist, and you're still thinking about falling in love?" Xin Baji pushed his glasses aside, the lenses reflecting the dazzling light. "As long as I can get Liuying's transformation device, it's enough. Women will only slow down my ability to ignite the sea!"

"Asshole! The soul of a mecha is a beautiful girl, just like Unit-00 is incomplete without Rei Ayanami! Shinbaji, you don't understand the romance of mechas at all!"

"Hey, hey, that's enough, you two."

Kagura, who was standing by, couldn't help but pick her nose. "Why don't you take a nap first, Aru? Maybe you'll dream about mechas and beautiful girls."

Sword Art Online.

"Liu Ying? She is not dead... But why is it her?"

Asuna was stunned. Although she had vaguely guessed the possibility of Firefly's survival after hearing what Gold Sand said, the fact that Star Core Hunter Sam was Firefly still caused a great shock to her heart.

But if you think about it carefully, many of the previous suspicious points can be explained.

When she first met Sambo, Asuna couldn't understand why Liuying had such sharp observation skills, unlike other girls, and why she appeared in the original dream and wandered around. But now the identity of her companion is not difficult to guess... most likely Silver Wolf.

"Asuna, do you remember the 'medical bay' that Firefly mentioned?" Kirito said, his expression suddenly enlightened. "I didn't expect this armor to be her medical bay... Perhaps only by staying in that mecha year after year can her entropy be controlled?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh: "Medical bay...Mecha...What kind of pervert could combine these two things together?"

"On the other side, in the Oak family's mansion."

Gallagher strolled leisurely along the red carpet in the lobby. He surveyed the ornate decor and said with a smile, "A maze of corridors and rooms, traps and traps everywhere... The owner of this mansion is quite paranoid."

"Walking across the miniature building on the sand table, Gallaher stared straight at Sunday, who was standing with his back to him not far away."

Sunday slowly tilted his head and said, "You have a sense of humor, Sheriff. I hope your humor has helped you find the serial killer."

Chapter 423 Pinocchio (One Hundred and Four)

Gallagher smiled calmly, "Just expressing my personal opinion. What, did I hit a sore spot?"

Sunday said coldly, "Mr. Gallagher, my patience is running out. Passive work will only increase suspicions that you are involved with the real murderer."

"I've heard plenty of rubbish like scoundrel, gangster, drunk, hooligan... but I never imagined I'd be labeled an accomplice to a murderer. I take it back: Your problem isn't paranoia. You're a lunatic, understand? A lunatic."

"You—the family—broke the spine of this old dog and pulled out his fangs, and now you're accusing me of murder? Assholes, only a drunk idiot from Suleda would go crazy over a stray dog ​​on the street."

"What on earth is making you keep talking nonsense here? You should be more concerned about those foreign guests who are having a great time at the movie park than me."

"Sunday: 'You don't need to remind me. As soon as the envoy left the mansion, I knew what he was up to. My 'servants' saw it all. His little magic trick did fool me, but it doesn't matter. I'm very happy with the current situation.'"

"Why do you think I let him go? And why did I clear out that movie park stage?" Sunday's voice gradually deepened, his teeth gnashing. "...Because my target from the beginning has always been you, Hound. The more noise he makes, the more chances I have to make you and your true master (the watchmaker) pay for your crimes with blood."

grim Reaper.

"Is this also included in the calculation of Sunday?"

Inside Urahara's shop, Urahara Kisuke kept waving his folding fan, a hint of surprise flashing in his slightly narrowed eyes. "Oh my, it seems Sunday is also trying to muddy the waters for Pinocchio. How strange... Could muddying the waters be good for him?"

"His stance may be problematic... He's not completely on the Dream Master's side."

Yoruichi sat on the sofa, legs crossed, staring at Sunday's back on the screen. "Do you remember the question he asked Shajin? ... 'Do you love your family more than yourself?' Perhaps we were all mistaken. He, like Shajin, values ​​his family more than his own life. His sister is incredibly important to him. Finding her killer is more important than the impending Harmony Ceremony."

As he spoke, Yoruichi smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "To be honest, I initially thought he was that kind of cold-blooded power machine."

"It's normal for someone as controlling as him to pursue greater power. But what's abnormal is... has he underestimated the threat posed by the company? The company could potentially undermine the entire [family], so why would he be 'happy' to see Gold Dust successfully execute his plans and kindly clear the stage for him?"

Having said that, Ye Yi also realized something strange. From what Zhou Ri said, it seemed as if he and Sha Jin were in the same group, and the two of them were afraid that Pinocchio would not be in chaos.

Urahara Kisuke curled his lips, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared from under the brim of his hat. He had an inexplicable feeling - this guy seemed a bit like Aizen? That look of always being at ease and confident was like his younger self.

But if it's Aizen... then he must be hiding some kind of trump card, or a more secret, unknown plan at this moment.

What kind of plot could make him underestimate the threat posed by the company?

-

"If I really am the murderer, why are you hiding it so much? Ha, I forgot, you also have a difficult master to serve - they told you to ignore the stupid murder case and focus on the Harmony Festival..."

Gallagher folded his arms and spoke slowly, "...Isn't that right, 'gentle brother'?"

Sunday chuckled softly, "...It seems your disguise has helped you fully understand every detail of the family."

"'Disguise? Which eye of yours could tell I was a fake? Open your eyes and take a closer look. The one with the halo—"

“Sunday did not argue with him, but just said to himself calmly: “Indeed, every part of you is real. Brown hair, soft and curly like Benny; orange eyes, which remind me of Sir Whittaker’s gaze; strange scar, it is Woolsey’s medal…”

“The grey vest, the tie, the Order of the Hound, the kettle, the drink-mixing skills, the identity of the sheriff… they are all real—”

"—From fifty-two loyal 'family members'."

Sunday looked up at the magnificent stained glass window above her head: "When they come together, countless tiny truths are woven into lies - you pick up a piece of knowledge from each person, take it as your own, and 'invent' a complete [Gallah] in your dreams..."

"…Am I right? A minion of [Mystery]?"

-

Absolute Zone Zero.

"???"

"Mysterious? What's mysterious? Has this Star God appeared before?"

"There are still experts? This Star God sounds as powerful as Xuwu!"

The disciples in the temple immediately started talking about it. Sunday's speech was undoubtedly a bombshell. No one had expected that in addition to [Nothingness], there were actually other star god forces involved.
