Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"And what about you? Why doesn't the God of Music ever give you a second glance?" Jiang Jiu asked with genuine curiosity in his eyes, adding, "Could it be that you're an envoy disliked by the God of Music?"

Fu Ruo was slightly taken aback, but the next moment, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha—!"

She laughed freely and unrestrainedly, casually removing the mask from her face to reveal the lower half of her young and pretty face.

In stark contrast to the sorrowful and distressed appearance on her mask, her eyes were curved and her lips were upturned, making her look exactly like someone who enjoys watching a good show.

"An unpopular envoy? Interesting, very interesting! I've been pretending to be a mourning actor for three whole years, and you're the first person to see through my disguise at a glance, and the first person to dare to talk back to me like this!"

Jiang Jiu looked at her quietly, feeling a little bored.

"It's boring."

Fu Ru blinked, her tone playful: "Boring? How could it be boring? Before long, I, the Masked Fool, will sit at the top of the list of mourners~ Do you think that when I truly succeed, the people here will be so desperate that they will break down and cry?"

[Gui Naifen: So, is there a problem with the leadership selection mechanism of the Mourning Actors? A Masked Fool infiltrated and almost became the leader in just three years—is there any hope for this organization?]

[Mourning the actors: ...We simply have a greater faith in the inherent goodness of human nature.]

[Fireworks: Human nature is inherently good? Hahahaha! You believe in the inherent goodness of a masked fool? That's hilarious! Do you even know what Fu Ruo has done in the past?]

[Fu Ruo: Little Firework, isn't it a bit inappropriate to expose someone's past?]

[Hanabi: What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, the Mourning Performer is definitely checking your file right now.]

[Sambo: Hey, old Sambo advised you before, couldn't you just stay in the tavern? Why did you have to go to the mourners' place for fun? Now look what happened, you've been exposed!]

[Fu Ruo: So what if I'm exposed? I've had my fill of fun anyway. As for the tavern... I don't care about that place.]

[March 7th: So... this Ms. Fu Ruo wasn't a mourner from beginning to end? She was a masked fool? Then what about the mask she gave Uncle Yang...?]

[Walter: ...It seems there's something wrong with that face.]

"The mask is fine."

As soon as Uncle Yang sent out the comment, he heard the video of Jiang Jiu saying that the mask was fine. For a moment, he wanted to retract the comment.

Jiang Jiu checked the mask and then returned it to Uncle Yang.

Walter Young took the mask. Seeing that Jiang Jiu hadn't mentioned any conditions, he didn't ask any questions and instead prepared to study it himself.

Jiang Jiu didn't ask what the train crew had experienced in this area before. He went straight to the question: "Uncle Yang, are you still able to leave the Glazed Light Belt now?"

Walter Yang paused for two seconds, then slowly shook his head: "To be honest, Lord Shi Jin, this planet has a dormant star core, and we are searching everywhere for it, intending to seal it away."

Jiang Jiu was speechless.

Is the Star Core a main storyline hurdle that you can't escape no matter where you go?

"What if we disregard the star core? What if I told you you were going to die? Would you risk your lives for this star system?"

Walter Yang pushed up his glasses, the reflection in the lenses obscuring the emotions in his eyes: "Lord Shi Jin... what do you mean by 'dying'?"

"Literal meaning."

Walter hesitated for a moment: "Lord Shijin, do you know what 'pioneering' means?"

[Saifei: Is this the awareness of the Nameless Guest? It's truly touching, meow~]

[March 7th: Wow, I don't think we're all that noble. Maybe we should ask ourselves how to survive first?]

[Star: March, you don't understand, this is the awareness of us nameless travelers! First ask what pioneering is, then ask how to survive; the order cannot be reversed!]

[March 7th: Your order of these words looks completely wrong!]

[Star: Seriously, how come we end up with star cores wherever we go? Anyone who didn't know better would think I was the one spreading them.]

[Fireworks: Actually, it's pretty much the same. After all, you're a Star Core Spirit, so wherever you go, the Star Core will follow, right?]

"Stop, stop, stop."

Jiang Jiu interrupted Walter Yang directly: "I'm not here to listen to grand principles. I only have one question: if you don't leave now, you will die at the hands of the Annihilation Lord Burning Wind. Are you leaving or not?"

"I mean everyone, including everyone on the train."

[Walter: !!!]

Just as Walter Yang was about to speak, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"But it's too late."

Fu Ruo sat by the stage, helplessly spreading her hands: "This star field only lets in but never lets out; we've been stuck here for a long time."

Watching a Movie (Ninety-Nine) - Only In, No Out, Pressure at its Peak!

[March 7th: It's over!!! What do you mean we've been stuck for ages? We're trapped?]

[Star: Calm down, calm down. Maybe Fu Ru is joking? You can't completely believe what the Masked Fool says.]

March pouted.

"Are we really that unlucky? Why do we keep getting into trouble wherever we go? There's not a single safe place out of all these places."

Xing shrugged.

"It's alright. After all, we are the all-powerful Nameless Guests. I believe we will turn misfortune into good fortune this time..."

[Kafka: It seems the Nameless One has encountered his most dangerous enemy yet, the Foehn Wind.]

[Star: Mom must have a way, right?]

[Star: I knew it, everything is under your control...]

[Kafka: I'm sorry, Hoshi.]

[Kafka: That's the only future, one that even we can't change.]

Xing blinked as she looked at the comment.

what?

March 7th wailed, "It's all over now! The final forces say they're out of options too. We're finally doomed... Waaaaah..."

While feigning tears, San Yue managed to capture Dan Heng, who helplessly unleashed the Water Dragon's Roar, seemingly unsure of its purpose.

[March 7th: I mean, is there any hope? Waaaaah, I'm still young, I don't want to die.]

[Star: It's okay, March. We're not going to that light belt whose name I can't remember. If we really encounter danger, I'll stand in front of you!!!]

[March 7th: I'm so touched!!!]

[Kafka: I'm referring to the timeline where we are powerless, the timeline where Jiang Jiu didn't intervene. That one is the only miracle; their very existence is the biggest variable.]

[March 7th: Does this mean that as long as Jiang Jiu is there, they can win?]

[Kafka: No, it's just another possibility.]

[Qingque: So whether this storyline survives depends entirely on whether Jiang Jiu can defeat Fenfeng? Doesn't that mean all the pressure is on him? Is the pressure really that great?]

[Fu Xuan: When has he ever not been under pressure...?]

[The Fool of the Tavern: Oh dear, look, even the Star Core Hunter is saying so. It seems like things are really going to turn out badly this time. But it's okay, Jiang Jiu can rewind the save file anyway, so we can just start over.]

[The Fool in the Tavern: If it doesn't work the first time, try again; if it doesn't work the second time, try a third time. You'll eventually succeed!]

March 7th: Hey! Can you stop making such sarcastic remarks! Rollback means dying once!

[The Tavern Fool: Hasn't he died enough already? What difference does it make if he dies one more time or one less?]

[March 7th: You!!!]

Hanabi clicked her tongue in response.

No, she dares to joke because she really has a god of humor protecting her. Isn't the Fool in the tavern afraid of being killed by factions tomorrow?

You clap once, I clap once, and the tavern will be gone tomorrow?

[Danheng: This is not the time for jokes.......]

[Fireworks: Alright, alright, jokes can wait until we win. But what's the rush? Aren't Jiang Jiu and Black Tower already in the Glazed Light Belt? With two envoys here, Burning Wind will have to think twice before making a move, right?]

[Walter: The problem is, the Burning Wind is recognized as the most terrifying Annihilation Lord. His strength is far beyond that of ordinary Envoys. Moreover, this star field has been sealed off, allowing entry but not exit, which means the Burning Wind was prepared in advance.]

[Ji Zi: He's right. Since Fen Feng dared to come, it means he's confident. He might even already know Jiang Jiu is here.]

[Sunday: Between the Great Lords of Annihilation, is there some kind of... tacit understanding? Or perhaps, is the Burning Wind's target not the Nameless Guest at all, but Jiang Jiu?]

Silver Wolf: Unlikely. I feel they're probably after the Nameless Guest.

After all, Silver Wolf had actually seen this script before.

Although the existence was torn apart after its birth, the fact that it existed is a fact.

In the video, Jiang Jiu heard Fu Ruo's words and immediately decided to kill her.

Feeling the killing intent from the other party, Fu Ruo immediately raised her hands: "Hey hey hey~ don't kill me, it wasn't me who did it."

She sat innocently on the edge of the stage with her hands raised, her eyes curving into crescents, repeatedly saying "Don't kill me," but there was not a trace of fear in her eyes.

Yes, this guy isn't afraid at all.

Jiang Jiu didn't attack immediately, but instead asked, "If it's not you, then who is it?"

"I really don't know." Fu Ruo spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "I'm just an ordinary masked fool, the kind who's been pretending to be a mourner for three years. This blockade of the star field is clearly not something an ordinary envoy could do. How could I possibly have that ability?"

She paused, looking at the dazzling band of light in the distance, her expression unusually serious for a moment.

"However, I do know one thing: this star field started acting strangely about half a month ago. People can get in, but they can't get out. The mournful musician himself has been trying to find a solution, but it's no use."

"If you don't believe me, ask a few of them. They should know, right?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at Uncle Yang and, seeing that he didn't refute her, knew that the situation was pretty much as she had described.

"Then why don't you run?"

Fu Ru blinked and then laughed: "Run? Run for what? This is so much fun~ A trapped star field, unknown enemies, and you interesting guys~ How could I miss out on such a great show?"

"By the way, do I need to remind you of something?"

"The shimmering light belt... wasn't it created by a Great Lord of Annihilation himself?"

After Fu Ruo finished speaking, seeing that Jiang Jiu had no reaction, she shook her head in disappointment: "Why is there no reaction? Isn't this news surprising enough?"

[Star: Fireworks, are all you Masked Fools like this?]
