She was unwilling to admit that she was completely powerless against Lu Feng, and did not want to give up such precious memories, so she could only attribute her crushing defeat to an accident.

It must have been because I was completely unprepared and suddenly ran into the other party's instinctive defense that I suffered such a great loss.

If one had prepared in advance, restrained one's spirit and tendrils, and cautiously probed, one would never have ended up in the same situation.

"It's okay... there will be plenty of opportunities."

A renewed desire to explore rekindled in the black swan's eyes. She secretly resolved that if she encountered him again, she must remain calm, act cautiously, and uncover his secrets.

After resting, she straightened her clothes, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and regained her usual elegant and composed demeanor.

Just then, a voice message came from outside the door from a hotel waiter.

The Pinocchio Harmony Grand Ceremony, a grand ball held in the central banquet hall, is open to all guests. It is the most luxurious feast in the dream world, and almost all the important figures will be present.

Upon hearing the news of the ball, the Black Swan's eyes flickered.

A ball? That's something I could try my luck at, maybe salvage some special dream memories.

"Let's go check out the dance first."

Black Swan composed herself, pushed open the door of her guest room, and walked towards the central banquet hall.

Meanwhile, Lu Feng, who was following in the shadows, watched the black swan's retreating figure as it headed to the ball, his eyes filled with even more amusement.

"If I remember correctly, the Underworld goes there too..."

Lu Feng took light steps, following the Black Swan at a leisurely pace, and together they walked towards the grand central banquet hall.

Soon, a magnificent and splendid banquet hall came into view.

Warm golden light filled the entire hall, dreamlike specks of light floated everywhere, and the air was filled with the fragrance of clothes and the melodious music. All the visitors were immersed in this grand and beautiful dream that seemed impossible to be real.

As the black swan entered the banquet hall, her gaze quickly swept over all the guests before settling on the quietest corner of the hall.

There stood a solitary, aloof figure.

Her demeanor was hollow and indifferent, and the air around her was colder and more desolate than anywhere else. All the liveliness, all the flowing light, and all the dreamlike memories around her would automatically fade and dissipate within three steps of her.

It is the Yellow Springs.

The moment Black Swan saw Huang Quan, her mind instantly became active again, and her confidence, which had been shattered by Lu Feng, returned somewhat.

Compared to that dual-fate monster from before, this person also seems quite mysterious...

"I really want to see her memories..."

Black Swan took a deep breath, suppressing all distracting thoughts, a gentle and perfect smile appeared on her face, and she adjusted her posture to be the most elegant as she slowly walked towards the corner of the underworld.

She had already started making plans in her mind.

I'll use dancing as an excuse to get closer, keep my composure, and slow down my investigation. I won't be as reckless as last time. This time, I'll take a good look at the memories deep within this person who also seems to be quite extraordinary.

Lu Feng, hidden behind the crowd, watched this scene quietly.

He knew exactly what was going to happen next.

Seeing the black swan, who knowingly walked into danger and forgot her past mistakes, Lu Feng was speechless.

She's amazing!

Lu Feng glanced in their direction but didn't look again. He couldn't afford to encounter Huang Quan right now because he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from her...

On the other hand, Black Swan has completely adjusted its mindset.

The confidence that Lu Feng had just shattered has now completely rebounded, and she has even come up with a foolproof plan in advance.

This time, I will not rashly attack the other party's sea of ​​consciousness, nor will I release my violent spiritual tendrils. Instead, I will use the gentlest and weakest threads of memory to slowly penetrate along the other party's body surface, gradually retrieving fragments of memories.

We will proceed steadily and gradually, and we will never repeat the same mistakes.

With a thorough plan in mind, the Black Swan's smile grew even more gentle and captivating. With light steps, she slowly walked to the Yellow Springs.

At this moment, Huang Quan stood alone in the corner of the banquet hall, completely oblivious to the noisy singing and dancing and the extravagant scene around him.

While others were lost in their dreams, she felt detached from the world, as if she were completely isolated from it.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Huang Quan slightly raised his eyes, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the black swan in front of him, but his expression was as calm as a still, deep pool of water.

"Miss, are you alone?"

Black Swan spoke first, her voice soft and gentle, polite and elegant, flawless, perfectly capturing the appropriate demeanor of a chance encounter with a stranger.

"Such a grand ball, it would be a shame to stand here alone. Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

She was humble, slightly raising her hand in a gesture inviting someone to dance, her graceful demeanor making it impossible for anyone to refuse.

Huang Quan looked at her quietly for two seconds, neither refusing nor giving any further response, but simply nodding slightly in acquiescence.

Seeing this, the black swan was secretly delighted.

There is a play!

She stepped forward, gently placed her hand on Huang Quan's shoulder, and naturally grasped his palm with her other hand. She moved closer and, following the rhythm of the melodious dance music, slowly shifted her dance steps.

The two danced slowly in a secluded corner, away from the noisy crowd in the hall.

The scene is elegant and beautiful; to outsiders, it looks like two exceptionally beautiful women dancing casually, a delightful sight.

But Black Swan's spiritual power has already been quietly activated.

This time she was extremely cautious, restraining all aggression and suppressing the power of the Memory Detector to an extremely low level.

A thin, almost transparent strand of spiritual energy carefully seeped outwards along the skin touching between their palms, slowly probing towards the surface of Huang Quan's consciousness.

Black Swan is extremely calm.

Take your time, there's no rush.

By delving into her consciousness, one can glimpse this mysterious person's hidden past and uncover the secrets deep within her heart.

This could very well be a top-tier, precious memory!

Available in the next second.

hum.

A cold, deathly, all-consuming void power suddenly burst forth from Huang Quan's body.

The Black Swan's supposedly secure and incredibly fragile spiritual threads, upon touching the barrier of Huang Quan's consciousness, couldn't even withstand it for a second before instantly turning to ashes.

It was completely dissolved and erased by nothingness, leaving not even a trace.

Moreover, this lifeless, void power flowed backward along the spiritual connection, surging fiercely into the Black Swan's sea of ​​consciousness!

The last time I encountered Lu Feng, it was a double critical hit of nothingness and destruction, a violent explosion.

This encounter with the Yellow Springs was a pure, cold, one-sided annihilation.

A deeper, more terrifying sense of suffocation gripped the black swan.

It's as if her own spirit and memories are being stripped away and cleared away little by little, and all that belongs to "her" existence is slowly returning to nothingness.

"!!!"

Black Swan's pupils contracted sharply, and the elegant smile on her face froze instantly.

My heart sank suddenly, and my blood almost instantly turned ice-cold!

Her once-proud ability to detect memories was now as fragile as a sheet of paper, easily torn apart in front of this person…

She thought she had made all the necessary preparations, and that slowing down and conserving her power would allow her to conduct a safe investigation.

It was completely useless!

Lu Feng's backlash was a violent crushing force, while Huang Quan's backlash was a silent annihilation.

Her entire sea of ​​consciousness instantly plunged into a pitch-black void. Countless fragments of memories accumulated in her mind, and countless precious secrets salvaged from her mind, trembled slightly at this moment, showing a faint tendency to dissolve.

My scalp tingled, and my soul felt cold.

At this moment, the black swan was completely dumbfounded.
