Chapter 239: My neighbor is Acheron! Oh no, I'm being dragged into the crossfire!
"Miss Memokeeper, are you certain the target location is here?"
Sunday asked in a sincere tone.
The Memokeeper, wearing a mask that hid her entire face, nodded.
"That's correct. Black Swan's final [ Memory ] vanished here. It is certain that a special power here isolates this place from reality."
"Acheron is hiding right here."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly became tense and on edge!
Although there were many people present—in addition to the Family acting as the main force, there was also the guidance of the Memokeeper—that was Acheron, after all… A formidable enemy with Emanator-level strength!
Many now felt as if they had arrived at the entrance of a weekly boss domain. The moment they entered that gateway, a grand battle would begin.
Before the bloodshed arrived, they needed to make every possible preparation!
On the other side of the hotel corridor, a silver mechanical cowboy leaned against the railing. Seeing the Family members on guard, he immediately placed his hand on the chamber of his gun, ready to fire at any moment.
In the rooms on the nearby floors, shadows flickered behind every door. Some were hiding at the doorways watching, while others stood openly at the entrances, holding various types of weapons!
Clearly, those participating in the crusade against Acheron were already in position. They were just waiting for the Family and the Memokeeper to force Acheron out and make her appear!
Sunday scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision. He realized that some of the guests might not be here solely to help. At a time like this, there were naturally some with ulterior motives.
But these were extraordinary times; these things were not important! Acheron's terrifying nature had overshadowed everything else!
After watching the plot with the Dream Master, Sunday had reached a conclusion—
Acheron… should be—an Emanator of [ Nihility ]!
Such a person was a fatal flaw for the [ Dream of the One ]! She must be expelled!
Neither he nor the Dream Master chose to release this information, because if others knew this, I fear more than half the people present today would leave!
After confirming the target location, the Family did not rush to start the battle immediately.
Sunday asked the guards beside him, "What about the IPC? Are they still not showing their stance at this moment?"
As his voice fell, a frivolous laugh rang out. Escorted by several IPC security personnel, Aventurine arrived at the scene.
"It seems Mr. Sunday misses us dearly?"
"It doesn't matter. As a representative of the IPC, haven't I, Aventurine, arrived?"
Sunday replied coldly, "I knew you wouldn't miss this opportunity."
"Since I in the plot have already decided to hunt down Acheron, I naturally choose to trust myself in the game."
Aventurine appeared very confident. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was here to attend a ball.
Sunday glanced behind him. Confirming there were no other IPC people, he asked, "Just you alone?"
"This [ chip ] isn't much."
Aventurine took off his sunglasses. His expression became serious. In his hand, a cyan-green jade stone flashed past.
"Fortunately, my chips are still here."
"And thanks to your righteousness, sir, you didn't confiscate my equipment like in the game plot."
Sunday narrowed his eyes slightly. Indeed. Due to the influence of the game plot, he could no longer focus on targeting the IPC. The primary enemy right now… was Acheron!
......
Inside the hotel room.
Kafka had originally been lying lazily on the sofa. By this time, her expression had also become serious.
She sat up from the sofa and sighed, "So many people…"
Silver Wolf opened an image interface, displaying the 3D model of The Reverie hotel before her. The nearby floors were densely covered with many red dots!
These red dots all represented dangerous units.
"Strange, why are there so many different types of energy reactions?"
Silver Wolf voiced her confusion while checking the evacuation points.
Once the barrier outside was activated, their existence would inevitably be exposed.
Three Stellaron Hunters—they certainly counted as three big fish! They were indeed worth mobilizing so much force.
But! At this point!
Silver Wolf suddenly realized a serious problem!
"Oh no!"
"We've been dragged into this!"
"These people aren't coming for us; they're coming for our neighbors!"
Firefly still hadn't quite reacted: "Our neighbors?"
"They haven't done anything; they just hid their location…"
Halfway through, Firefly suddenly covered her mouth in shock.
"It can't… be that much of a coincidence, right?"
Kafka wore a helpless expression and sighed: "Silver Wolf, if I didn't know you picked this room at random, I would have thought you planned this all in advance."
"Our neighbor might just be that… Miss Acheron."
"Out of so many rooms… we just happened to stay in this area; it's almost like a plot [ script ]."
Firefly's expression became solemn. She had already taken out Sam's transformation device. In the game, it was she who fought Acheron. She didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to avoid it in reality either.
However, Kafka walked over and placed her hand on Firefly's shoulder, signaling her not to rush into transforming into Sam.
"Now, there is a way that might allow us to escape successfully."
"—As long as we prove that we are also here to participate in the crusade against Acheron, and are [ allies ] standing on the same front as these people outside."
"We are also here to stop Acheron, and we took the lead, found Acheron's location, and conducted early surveillance and monitoring on her."
Silver Wolf rolled her eyes: "Do you believe that yourself?"
Firefly also said worriedly: "This is really too much of a coincidence; I think they will think we are in cahoots."
"The Family will inevitably turn their spearheads toward us as well."
Kafka smiled slightly: "So, we must take this last bit of time to think about how to respond next to avoid becoming the target of public criticism."
"Whether it's these people outside or Acheron, neither is easy to deal with."
"Let's try our best to avoid becoming the target of both sides' concentrated fire."
The current situation was dangerous and delicate. The three of them gathered together, and although their strength was solid, it would likely be impossible to escape unscathed without paying some price.
Just then!
Silver Wolf suddenly showed a look of surprise!
"It's here!"
"The turning point is here!"
"Feathered Spirit has released Acheron's PV!"
"The people outside must have received the news too; they will definitely want to watch this video first before planning to make their move."
Firefly opened her mouth slightly, surprised: "That really is timely…"
"Quick! Let's watch this video together too; maybe there will be some important content!"
......
Meanwhile, everyone outside also received the message immediately!
Various notification sounds rang out all at once.
Any message from Feathered Spirit had risen to a level of strategic value to the highest. Basically, everyone had set up "Special Notifications" for it.
At this moment, the atmosphere of impending conflict was slightly hindered.
Sunday's gaze sank. He raised his right hand. In the circular space outside the corridor, a large screen suddenly rose.
Sunday's voice was not loud, but it reached every corner of the scene.
"Since Feathered Spirit has released new content at this moment, we might as well spend a few minutes watching it together first."
"What does everyone think?"
Aventurine's gaze stared at the big screen in the air.
He replied, "I have no objections."
The Memokeeper, who was cooperating with the Family, also nodded. Other voices sounded from outside the venue.
"We definitely have to watch Feathered Spirit's video first!"
"It's Acheron's PV; maybe it can expose some of Acheron's abilities! It might increase our chances of winning!"
"It just happens to be at this time; could it be that Feathered Spirit is reminding us?"
"Play it quickly!"
"Can't wait."
