"Ehehe, hello everyone—it's me, Clockie."
Opening with a direct thunderclap: Clockie immediately replicated—1:1—the behavior of the neighboring mouse from Mihoyo.
"By the way, want to come into my wonderful Clockie house?"
——
Everyone watching Clockie on the screen instinctively turned to look at Su Chen.
In perfect unison, they raised their thumbs. "Nice. Ballsy!"
Su Chen immediately panicked a little. He quickly sidled up to Ratio. "Great Veritas Ratio, esteemed professor—among your numerous degrees, do you happen to have one related to law?"
"No." Ratio replied coldly.
Seeing that door slam shut, he turned to the Jade-Topaz friendship trio. "You three are so strong in business tactics—surely you have a way, right?"
Jade gave a faint smile. "West Hemisphere's strongest legal department—sorry, our capabilities aren't quite that extensive. If you really want to test it, you could always ask Nanshan Pizza Hut for help."
Su Chen waved his hand. "Never mind then. They talk about ceasefires on the surface, but deep down they'd love to see me dead."
"Then good luck to you."
——
The Mickey Cousin wearing Clockie's skin continued speaking to the camera. "We must chant the wonderful incantation—
Tick-tock tick-tock, ding-dong ding-dong, Clockie!"
Before the words finished, a subpoena with heavy afterimages flew down from the sky.
Suddenly, the Astral Express's horn sounded. Clockie looked around in panic—only to see the Astral Express barreling toward him at full speed from not far away.
He had no time to react.
BANG—
The figure was already sent flying into space, turning into a shooting star.
"What was that just now?" Pom-Pom stepped out of the train door, scanned the surroundings, and spotted a clock lying on the ground. "Pom?! What is this?"
Cut.
Pom-Pom was now standing inside March 7th's room.
He placed the picked-up clock on the table. Through a close-up shot, the numbers 12, 3, 6, and 9 were revealed to correspond respectively to: indignation, joy, melancholy, calm.
"That's what happened, pom!"
Caelus picked up the clock and examined it carefully. "Isn't this a clock trick? So cool!"
March 7th scratched her head. "Since it's something from Penacony, we should probably return it to its owner, right?"
Pom-Pom thought that made sense. If the clock's owner found out it was lost, they'd be so worried. "This conductor will set the route right away, pom!"
"Wait a baguette!" Caelus hummed a little tune and hopped over to Pom-Pom's side. "Pom-Pom~ You wouldn't want everyone to find out you sent something flying, right~?"
At the same time, cheerful background music started playing.
Pom-Pom jolted as though waking from a dream, then covered his embarrassment with laughter. "Hahahaha~ I'll go prepare afternoon tea first, pom~"
With that, Pom-Pom hurriedly left the carriage—his hat even fell off without him noticing.
Watching Pom-Pom's retreating back, Caelus revealed a wicked grin. He sat back down beside March 7th, casually draping one arm over her shoulder. "Little March, as long as you have this treasure, you'll be able to take even prettier, even more interesting photos~"
Hearing this, March 7th's smile grew increasingly unhinged. She excitedly rubbed her hands together and bounced. "Hahaha, really?!"
——
Once again, everyone's gazes returned to Su Chen's face.
Silver Wolf furrowed her brows. "Big bro, wasn't this supposed to be Sparkle's company-death fan-edit? Where is she?"
"Yeah, yeah—this aggression level is way too low. It doesn't even make me burst out laughing. Don't you think so too, great Herrscher of Sentience?" As she spoke, Stelle hooked her arm around Fu Hua's shoulder.
"I'm her sister. Sentience Treasure is the one to your left."
Stelle raised a brow. "Doesn't matter. I don't mind."
Fu Hua: "…"
——
The video continued.
"Old Yang, I just made some coffee—want a cup?" Himeko looked at Welt Yang with sincere attitude.
The camera zoomed in on the coffee. It radiated the scent of death.
Seeing this, Castorice couldn't help sighing. "This really has the flavor of the Styx River."
"Thank you for the kindness, but I've already had tea." Welt Yang quickly declined and promptly produced the teacup he had prepared long in advance.
At this moment, Caelus hiding in the corner picked up the clock. "Let me demonstrate for you!"
With that, he turned the dial, shifting Himeko's mood from calm to rage.
The next moment—
Himeko grabbed a huge bucket filled with coffee and shoved it straight into Welt Yang's mouth, pouring relentlessly while preaching, "Coffee is really delicious—hurry up and taste it! There are still three more big buckets afterward! One at a time!"
——
"Hahahaha~"
Laughter filled the entire café.
"Stelle-jie, look—Himeko pulled out such a huge stick and shoved it into Old Yang's mouth. Liquid is even spilling out of Old Yang's mouth." Sentience Treasure laughed so hard she doubled over, her voice booming loud enough for everyone to hear.
Everyone had thought they could hold it in after so many weighted training sessions—but the moment Sentience Treasure spoke, no one could hold back anymore.
"Aiya, Tomato Tomato, how can you treat Mr. Welt like that?" Kafka sat beside Himeko and couldn't resist teasing.
"Hehe, hehe~" Himeko tried to laugh it off, but the veins on her arm were visibly throbbing. She smiled sweetly at Sparkle. "Miss Sparkle, after this ends I'd like to personally brew you a cup of coffee—purely handmade, of course."
Sparkle was about to retort, but pointed at Su Chen instead. "You're so vicious!"
Welt Yang simply indicated he was already used to it and didn't want to make any further expressions.
——
"There are five skill points. You used three. After excluding two supports—I can't even use my damn skill." Blade glared furiously at Dan Heng.
Dan Heng looked disdainful. "How about you equip speed boots first?"
Another simultaneous appearance of the duo in the fan-edit.
Cold sweat instantly soaked Dan Heng and Yingxing's backs. The memory of their last company-death experience was still fresh—they remembered exactly how long they'd been mocked!
Blade frowned. "Speed boots?"
"Ai~ Run faster, generate points faster!"
"Oh… thanks!" Blade suddenly realized. "Wait—who wants your speed boots?"
"Imbibitor Lunae, you've actually become so cunning?" The next moment he revealed a healthy smile and drew his Fractal Sword. "Let's fight to the death!"
"Is the result still going to be the same?" Dan Heng had no choice but to summon the Pearl of Abyss and engage.
Caelus curled his lips slightly. "Let me demonstrate for you again."
He adjusted Blade's mood from indignation to melancholy. The background music switched to "See You Again."
In an instant, Blade threw away his Fractal Sword and burst into tears. "Wuwuwuwu~"
Dan Heng was stunned seeing this. He quickly crouched beside Blade. "You… hey… what's wrong?"
Blade now looked like a little widow who had lost everything. "This inexplicable bitterness… when will it ever end!"
Dan Heng tried to comfort him but didn't know what to say.
March 7th watched the scene. "Are they… really okay like this?"
——
"Clap clap clap clap~"
Silver Wolf was laughing so hard she bent forward and backward. "Hahaha, just move to another planet, Yingxing. This is way too abstract."
Dan Heng patted Yingxing on the shoulder. "Good thing this time I mostly dodged the bullet. Thanks for taking one for the team!"
Yingxing's face flushed crimson. "That's Blade, not me Yingxing."
Anaxa walked over to Yingxing. "Your mad laughter chills the soul; your plane crash brings tears to the heart."
"Wuwuwu~" Yingxing covered his face and sobbed.
——
The next scene transitioned.
It arrived at the former Belobog. Bronya and Seele made a rare appearance together.
