Little Gui's Livestream Room.
[And on the Eighth Day...]
[Head to the lobby to meet up with everyone]
[Optional) Try using Clockwork]
Guinaifen glanced at the mission prompt.
At that moment.
Some people lost in their dreams stood in the hotel corridor.
Naturally, she wanted to try it out.
Would the ever-reliable Clockwork have any effect on these people?
After selecting [Activate Clockwork].
A distorted face suddenly popped out!
It was... Clockie's face.
But this face was completely different from the usual emotional expressions!
The expression was eerie.
His entire body was bound by lines!
Like a marionette.
Above it, there was a line of text.
[Welcome to the Paradise]
"Good heavens!"
Guinaifen shrank back in fright!
"Wow..."
Guinaifen looked at the chat, hoping to seek some comfort from her livestream viewers.
However.
She was in for a surprise!
Only then did she notice,
The chat was all tagging her about something else!
...
"Little Gui, go check out room q729809!"
"Black Swan has started streaming!"
"Just came back from Black Swan's stream, I can only say... the real Penacony is even scarier than this!"
"I'm so anxious, Little Gui, go take a look!"
"I'm deeply immersed in this!"
"Can someone save them, please?"
"My friend has fallen into Penacony, wuwuwu..."
"Penacony is doomed!"
...
Guinaifen was stunned!
What!?
Black Swan?
Started streaming?
She immediately searched for the room number mentioned in the chat!
As soon as she entered the livestream.
She immediately saw a face with lifeless eyes and a stiff expression!
Little Gui's legs instantly went weak!
But thankfully,
The livestream only showed her upper body.
After calming down,
Guinaifen was instantly furious!
Damn it!
This batch of netizens is too wicked!
They don't do anything remotely human!
They actually conspired together just to give me a scare?
Wait, wait, wait...?
Something seems off here!
This is...
What the hell is this...
What the freaking hell is this...!?
――Those who are lost in reality and in dreams!
In the game, this sense of stiffness is conveyed through Clockie's forced expression of satisfaction.
But in reality,
The micro-expressions of these people look even more terrifying!
They've completely turned into puppets!
Just thinking about how she almost stayed in Penacony herself, Guinaifen felt a chill run down her spine!
At that moment.
A voice came from the live stream.
"Welcome, host Little Gui, to my live stream for a room check... Hehe, is that how I should say it at this time?"
The camera angle shifted slightly.
Revealing Black Swan and Acheron behind her!
Black Swan even waved at the camera on purpose.
She was greeting Guinaifen.
At the same time,
A meaningful smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"I quite like you, Miss Guinaifen."
"Perhaps we could meet sometime."
Guinaifen was on the verge of tears!
Although she really admired this mature and gentle big sister in the game!
But in reality,
A Memokeeper was practically no different from a ghost to her!
Guinaifen didn't want to be caught off guard by a figure suddenly emerging from the shadows while she was daydreaming or sleeping!
But since she had been greeted, it would be rude not to respond.
So she reluctantly initiated the voice chat.
"Miss Black Swan, hello..."
Back at the hotel, she had seen these people from afar, and at that time, she only felt admiration and curiosity.
But now, actually interacting with them, Guinaifen was starting to panic.
She was the classic case of "Ye Gong who loves dragons"!
Guinaifen silently chanted in her heart.
You're all big shots, you're all big shots...
I'm just a game streamer, please don't pay too much attention to me!
The pressure is overwhelming!
However.
Acheron seemed to have heard as well.
She stepped forward, appearing in the frame.
And asked, "Is this the Little Gui who was personally chosen by Yu Ling to stream the story of Honkai: Star Rail?"
After receiving confirmation from Black Swan, Acheron also spoke to the camera:
"Hello, Miss Guinaifen."
"Thank you for your contributions to players across the galaxy... Acheron, expressing my humble respect to you."
Guinaifen's mouth went dry!
She was at a complete loss!
Oh my god!
What is happening?
Did I just get acknowledged by Acheron?
She thought being personally chosen by Yu Ling to stream the story was already the peak of her life.
But now, she's hit another high!
Guinaifen was stunned!
Completely stunned!
What did she do to deserve this...
In the live stream, players were spamming "666666"!
...
"Holy crap, they actually voice chatted!?"
"Double fandom hype!"
"Little Gui has reached another peak in her life..."
"Is this for real?"
"Little Gui, do you know how to handle this? You should totally call her 'big sister' now!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
"Amazing, love it!"
"Watching this, tears of envy are streaming down my face!"
...
"Miss Acheron, you're too kind, I really didn't do much..."
Acheron didn't plan to continue the pleasantries with Guinaifen...
She simply said, "Your continued story streaming is the greatest help to us."
Guinaifen took a deep breath.
She's seen big things before!
She's even interacted with Yu Ling!
There's no need to get flustered!
At this thought, she gradually calmed down.
She replied, "Of course, it's my honor."
"It's also the task Yu Ling entrusted to me."
"I won't let down the expectations of all my family members in the live stream."
Knowing that Acheron and Black Swan were also following her live broadcast of the storyline, Guinaifen immediately returned to the game!
She also wanted to see.
What further developments would unfold at the end of this storyline?
Controlling her character, she made her way to the Hotel Lobby.
Along the way, she saw people lost in their dreams.
From afar, she spotted a familiar figure standing in the lobby.
It was... Robin!
"Finally, you've arrived."
Robin turned around.
Her clear eyes were filled with determination.
At the same time.
The sound of an organ suddenly echoed in the background music.
A sacred feeling instantly emerged.
Acheron: "Let's meet Miss Robin. She is the one who woke up from Ena's dream by her own will, and it is this strong lady who tirelessly guided us here with her songs."
"The reason I became lucid is the same as all of you. In the dream, I experienced things that would never happen in reality..."
The scene flashed back.
It showed a scene from her childhood where she and her brother took care of a little bird together.
But this time.
Little Sunday chose to take care of the bird with her until the day it could return to the sky.
He even said, "Birds grow wings because they want to fly. Even if they fall to the ground one day, we shouldn't keep them in a cage."
"Since birds belong to the sky by nature, we should let them return there. Right?"
The scene returned to the Hotel Lobby.
A hint of helplessness appeared in Robin's gem-like eyes.
"...This illusion is too sweet, making me acutely aware that it's just a dream."
...
"It's too fake, how could Sunday say such things?"
"Brother Sunday making dumplings from scratch for his sister?"
"It's the opposite of the previous plot, wow."
"The reason Robin woke up: her brother was OOC."
"Robin was scared awake."
"Robin: No one knows my brother better than I do."
"It should have been a scene of siblings working together in harmony, but it was just an illusion."
"The little bird is really strong; it bravely faces the imperfections of life and clearly understands and respects its brother's thoughts."
"No wonder she's my favorite singer!"
"The little bird is great, no need to say more."
