Star Dome Railway, players all want to push me

"Hey, I knew I'd always had good luck." Shajin's nervousness suddenly subsided. Instead, he looked at Sunday and Doctor Zhenli, who were frozen in place, with interest. "So what's going on now? Were they immobilized by your spell?"

You Yi: "Wrong, I just temporarily stretched your thoughts and communicated with you in your mind through the connection of the cornerstone."

Gold Dust: "So, what should I do now?"

You Yi: "You really shine when you are given some color. I just came out to see you, I didn't say I would help you."

Shajin decisively clasped his hands together and begged, "Please give me some hints! Please! This is the request of my life!"

There is no shame in asking for help from the Protector General.

As for the dignity of the Stoneheart Ten, what good was that? If I could just ask for help, I could get the Protector's help. Even if Diamond came, I'd probably make the same choice.

"Refuse it." You Yi chose not to induce or coax, but directly gave the correct answer as a hint: "Sunday's Holy Proclamation has its own order. The judge can choose to accept it and actively allow God to interrogate your heart, or you can refuse it. The reason He gives you a time limit with both zeros and integers is to give you less time to think, making you subconsciously think - I have no choice but to accept it."

"So I can refuse." Sha Jin suddenly felt relieved.

If I refuse, Sunday's interrogation will be ineffective for me, but this also means that I will not be able to gain the other party's trust and take back the cornerstone, so...

He wants to gamble!

"Ah, I can't stand it. Are you gamblers really the kind of people who won't stop until you lose everything you have?" You Yi had kindly reminded him, but this turned out to be the driving force for Sha Jin to believe that he could win.

"I don't like losing, so I never lose in a bet, and this time is no different."

Sha Jin smiled confidently, he decided to win the world from Sunday!

Everything, or nothing!

Chapter 176 You Yi: I can’t be your friend, family, and enemy at the same time

This is the first time I have heard such a strange request.

You Yi felt that his hints were clear enough: accepting Sunday's interrogation wasn't a good idea. Yet, Sha Jin, like a high-rolling gambler who wouldn't give up until he went bankrupt, insisted on touching the tiger's butt. This was completely...

Within my expectations.

There are some things that the more you emphasize that they should not be done, the more some people will insist on doing them.

It's like playing Yu-Gi-Oh! and repeatedly telling your teammates that your cards have powerful self-explanations and absolutely cannot be opened, but...

Teammate: What's this? Powerful cards always come with powerful risks. Unleash the effect.

Forget it, forget it, I just like to do it and I can’t stop it.

You like courting death, right? I’ll immediately send you to the front line of Liumeng Reef to fight the King of Insects!

With Youyi's encouragement and help, Shajin felt his courage greatly increased and had reached the highest level of courage [Heart of the Lion King]. He took the initiative to meet Sunday.

This sudden confidence made Sunday slightly dazed. Instead of running away, he took the initiative to approach. What did this damn gambler want to do?

Could it be that Dr. Zhenli is a double agent?

He calmly glanced at Doctor Zhenli standing behind him. Seeing him nonchalantly studying the books on his shelf, he felt relieved. Undeterred by Gold Dust's confidence, he posed his first question: "Let me ask—do you possess the Cornerstone?"

Gold Dust: “Yes.”

Sunday: "Did you hand over the cornerstone to the family when you entered the country?"

Gold Dust: "Please, my friend, you confiscated my foundation stone yourself. Don't you find it troublesome to ask so many questions even for this?"

Sunday: "You seem so confident. Is your cornerstone right here in this room right now?"

Gold Dust: "Of course it is. Why don't you ask me to open the box and take it out for you to check?"

What on earth is going on...

From the moment just now, Sha Jin seemed like a completely different person. If the Sha Jin that was previously interfered with by himself with the power of order was like a gambler who bet everything but found that his cards were seen through, then Sha Jin at this moment was undoubtedly fearless. It even made people doubt whether he was in his own territory or he was in his territory.

No, there is no need to worry. It's just a bluff. The winning trump card is still in my hands.

From the beginning, there was no way I could lose.

What on earth made him so confident at this moment? Could it be...

Looking around the room, Sunday's words were pointed: "Let me ask you - besides you, me, and the learned professor, are there any rememberers from the Liuguang Memory Court in this room?"

He suspected that the Black Swan of Liuguang Yiting had reached a cooperation with Shajin, and was somewhere in the room at this moment!

"No." Shajin spread his hands to prove his innocence. "I did collaborate with the Rememberer from Liuguang Yiting, but she clearly preferred to work with the people from the Starry Sky Train rather than with me."

It doesn't sound like a lie.

This time the problem was thrown to Sunday again. He thought that he had seen through Sha Jin's cards, but he didn't expect that the other party could actually turn the tables on him. But everything is over!

"One last question. Can you swear that, right now, the Aventurine is lying safe and sound in this box?"

General!

Kill the game!

Doctor Truth: “….”

Placer gold: “…..”

Sha Jin's shock and anxiety vanished in an instant, but they didn't disappear. They were just temporarily suppressed by him. Then he replied in as calm a tone as possible: "...Of course."

"Looks like we have the answer." Sunday smiled. He had already gotten the answer he wanted. He then pushed the box containing the cornerstone that he had previously seized to Shajin and said, "Open it, Mr. Shajin. This is your last chance to defend your reputation. Please."

I have to say that the expressions of the three people who were having a conversation in Zhaolu Mansion at this time were very interesting.

Sunday was like a professional bird catcher, quietly and patiently waiting for the charming peacock to jump into the trap set in advance.

Doctor Zhenli turned his head as if he had foreseen what would happen next.

As for the gold dust, he remained calm, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

......

Meanwhile, the real world.

Players who discovered that the plot allows them to switch character perspectives switched to the perspective of Gold Dust after the train crew reunited, controlling Gold Dust to overcome obstacles.

Along the way, in addition to solving some puzzles, you also have to face harassment from the enemy.

Just as the marble game was finished, a memory mystery appeared and blocked everyone's way. However, this situation is exactly what the players want to see.

You know, there is a character called Gold Dust in your team right now that has not been implemented yet. Who doesn’t want to be the first to experience the new character?

You, a mere memory, let me use you to test my sword first... Oh no, the gold dust's attack is to throw chips, so let me use you to test my chips first!

[Gold Dust's shield is way too thick! With one skill, it's as thick as the Simulated Universe's Blessing of Preservation. The monsters don't even take HP from me.]

[It's really useful. A survival position, not to mention the thick shield, but you can also use pursuit skills after accumulating enough charges. Now the pursuit team finally has a survival position.]

[Doctor Zhenli, Gold Sand, Ruan Mei, and Topa, the four most reliable members of the pursuit team.]

Perhaps because Gold Dust is too suitable for the pursuit team and its strength is not low at all, many players are reluctant to quickly go through the plot, and instead quickly switch their team to the pursuit team to have a good time with the plot character Gold Dust.

When the players were running around in Zhaolu Mansion instead of interacting with Doctor Zhenli and Sunday, they suddenly noticed a light somewhere. So they interacted with it and a prompt popped up -

【Sunday and Dr. Truth's Memory Fragments】

After picking it up, before the player can react, the screen suddenly goes black and the controllable character is replaced from gold dust to a brand new character.

what?

Lao Mi is still hiding!

The update trailer mentioned gold dust, so players weren't surprised to see it in the storyline. But now they've switched to a new character. Could it be...

Sunday is also a playable character?!

But after the switch was completed, the player found that this was not the case. This person was watching the conversation between Sunday and Doctor Truth from a first-person perspective.

"Since you've come to the appointment, learned professor, does this mean that you're willing to stand on the family's side in this farce?"

"Mr. Sunday, what makes you think you can win me over?"

"I've heard that your relationship with Mr. Gold Sand was not a pleasant one. I also know that you are a true scholar whose pursuit of knowledge is above all else. If you agree to assist the family, I will offer you all of our research on star cores. You should be aware that no faction other than the family is willing to share such precious knowledge."

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"I need Mr. Sagine's complete plan."

"Haven't you all taken away his foundation? A peacock with all its feathers plucked out can't fly."

"But I've also heard that the ten elite members of the Strategic Investment Department are incredibly united, working together for the company's interests. I think your erudite doctor should understand what I'm talking about. Does the cornerstone Mr. Shajin submitted truly belong to him?"

The conversation between Dr. Zhenli and Sunday not only left Jiuxiao confused, but also dumbfounded many viewers in her live broadcast room.

[Huh? What's going on? Aren't Doctor Mari and Gold Sand in the same group?]

[I just watched the scene where I asked the gold dust to open the box containing the cornerstone on Sunday, and I didn't see this part at all.]

【Is it a hidden Easter egg? 】

【By the way, whose perspective is this third person? I have no idea.】

【Hehe, you will know soon. 】

Although this plot was not triggered, the players who had already manipulated the Gold Dust and Sunday to talk and triggered the subsequent plot smiled mysteriously.

The fragments of memory continue to play.

"Sunday: Mr. Gold Dust is a crazy gambler. The more flamboyant he is, the more careful you must be."

"Doctor Truth: I never thought there would be someone who thinks the same way as that crazy gambler. You'd better see a psychiatrist. Here, the box containing the cornerstone is specially made. No one except the company's top executives and related personnel can open it - but I happen to be one of them."

“Crack—!”

"Dr. Truth: Unfortunately, you guessed right."

"Sunday: Oh, a golden stone! Its hue mirrors the glow of the Holy Body of Creeper. Mr. Golddust's words during our first meeting were truly convincing. So, to which of the Stoneheart Ten does this cornerstone belong?"

"Doctor of Truth: The ten Stonehearts must use their own will to carve the foundation stone, allowing it to shine with its unique brilliance. This golden stone belongs to Topaz. Its nickname is topaz, not gold dust."

"Sunday: Interesting. I'm becoming more and more curious about where his foundation lies."

"Doctor Truth: The safest place, a place you'd never expect. That's because he had no intention of hiding it. From the very beginning, the cornerstone was already in your hands. He mixed the cornerstone, which was more important than his life, with a pile of cheap jewelry, disguised it as a gift, waiting to be confiscated. Then he made up a reason and came to you to ask for the gift money back."

"Sunday: Professor, thank you for your help. The family will repay you, but I still have a small favor to ask. This cornerstone was left behind by the guardian of the Star Train. Could you help me verify its authenticity and whether there are any problems with it?"

"Dr. Truth: ...This cornerstone...is fake!"

At this moment, the CG picture stopped abruptly, and the bright and shining cornerstone instantly dimmed. Then, a figure slowly walked out of it, and for some reason, Sunday and Doctor Truth seemed to be unable to see him. He was holding a cornerstone in his hand. As his palm exerted force, crisp sounds came from inside the cornerstone, and suddenly it shattered, turning into countless stardust that poured into the figure that appeared.

This person is You Yi, but he is different from the You Yi that players usually see.

Because the highlights on his forehead were golden, his originally well-proportioned body became particularly majestic because he was wearing a wide silver-white armor. Countless golden stardust revolved around him like guarding stars. His head did not carry any armor, but was directly exposed. His long hair was tied into a single ponytail at the back of his head, and the fairy boat-style skirt around his waist showed his strong temperament.

As if he could see the players' gazes, he stretched out his hand towards the screen, inviting the players to be his dog, just like when they first met.

The moment the players saw this strange yet extremely familiar figure, their eyes widened.

[Okay, now I finally understand. You Yi gave away his cornerstone for no apparent reason upon entering Pinocchio, and even went out of his way to die. It turns out he'd noticed something was wrong with his family early on, and had been planning this.]

【The value of Youyi is still rising! 】

[The most valuable man in Star Iron! ]

[Mihoyo! Finally! Are you finally going to implement Kamen Rider Yugi?!]

[Let me be honest, everyone. I'm not a blue-eyed person, but You Yi is really, sizzling♂, so fragrant.]

[Birth, what are you thinking? This is our foster father who gives us an extra ten-game combo in almost every update. How could you possibly have any inappropriate thoughts about him?!]

"It's okay. If he can't be our godfather, he can still be our mother. Youyi has several forms anyway, and even his clones are basically our enemies. He can definitely be our mother, godfather, life mentor, best friend, a casual friend who helps us deal with our desires, and our worst enemy!"

[What the above person said is very touching, Zhan (close-up of crotch)! ]

The plot on the screen continued to develop, and when Sha Jin opened the box containing the cornerstones, he found nothing inside. Instead, when Sunday opened the black cloth prepared early in the morning, two cornerstones, one yellow and one green, were lying quietly beside his hands.

With the memory of the previous plot from the perspective of wandering, the players are now very clear about the current situation. It was Doctor Truth who betrayed Gold Dust, causing both cornerstones to fall into Sunday's hands. Gold Dust, on the other hand, had to be judged because his little trick was seen through.

Unexpectedly, Shajin glared at Doctor Zhenli angrily, "Latio, you bastard!"

Sunday smiled triumphantly, "Your true form is revealed, villain. By the way, you only have seventeen systems left in your life. Cherish this time and savor the afterglow of your failure."

Gold Dust: "You might as well make your words clearer."

Sunday: The baptism I just performed on you was the baptism of “harmony.” You should have shown your loyalty in His light, but you acted on your own will and lied to yourself, turning baptism into a judgment. I really have no reason to unravel it for you.

Gold Dust: "Is this what they call 'harmony'? Built on imprisonment and coercion?"

Sunday: "'Harmony' is only open to family members, not to evildoers who are full of lies. However, I do need a servant to help me identify the evil lurking within the family from the outside. I will purge it from the inside out and bring the real culprit to justice within seventeen system hours. When the time comes, verify your findings with mine. If our judgments agree, or if they bring me more, then He will be able to truly bestow His love and honesty upon you."

Sunday: "By the way, a gambler can't accomplish anything without chips. Your bag is over there, so go ahead. I believe you can exchange this bag of paper and cheap gems for everything. Go ahead, Mr. Gold Dust. You are free, and I will be here waiting for your good news."
