[March 7th: Star! If you scare me again, I'll... I'll bite you, stomp on you, and stomp on you with my feet. Humph!]
[Such a good thing!]
[Star: Hehe. That's mine!]
Please reward me!
[Ye Lan: This is... a reward? Then what about me whipping people?]
【Beautiful lady, I was wrong, and I am willing to accept punishment. @夜兰】
Himeko looked at the dolls: "Are these dolls part of the stage scenery? Even so, there's not a soul in the front hall. This is too strange."
The group looked around again but still saw no one.
So they prepared to explore other places, passing through curtains, the surrounding environment and decorations seemed...
Could I have gone to the wrong place? It feels like March 7th.
Himeko shook her head: "There shouldn't be another grand theater in this dream."
March 7: "So Sunday was just a trick on us? We agreed to have a showdown on stage, where did everyone go?"
Suddenly, the sound of an organ began to play.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss March 7th."
Chapter 100: The Prelude
Take a look around March 7th, with arms crossed over chest.
Her eyes widened: "You scared me! What...what are you talking about?"
[Ring: A man who brings his own music.]
[Star: You scared me for three months! Tell me how you're going to make it up to me!]
[Huo Huo: So it turns out I'm not the only one who's timid.]
[March 7th: I'm not a coward; they just didn't give me a chance to react.]
Haha, I only made it in time on Sunday, even though I carried the speaker all the way here.
Sunday: "I'll be waiting for you all behind the curtain. Before the grand opening, following the ancient tradition of Asdena, I'd like to invite you to watch three plays together."
"History is a mirror, reflecting the most authentic face of the universe. We can also take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the history of Pinocchio and Astral."
"And the outline of the future—naturally—is revealed within it."
[Ambi: Yay! I can hear a story again.]
[Hu Tao: It feels like Sunday and an unmarried young lady are still hiding behind a curtain.]
"Let's begin our story from the very beginning—"
"Since the Twilight War, the sky has been empty and the earth has been in chaos."
"To teach all things in heaven and earth to be knowable, the One of Order was born."
"This was the first day."
[Yun Li: So you really started from the beginning of time.]
[Qingque: Did he inherit the memories of order?]
What is the Twilight War?
[That was a long time ago; anyway, it's said that the Star God of Preservation experienced it.]
"He gathered nebulae and made them into plucked instruments. He also made a great lyre with black and white keys."
"Strike the white key, the sun rises; strike the black key, the moon rises."
"And so day and night came together. And so the second day began."
[Star: What if I press both at the same time?]
[Let's all beat the drums together, and Taiyi's going to party!]
Bernice: Dance with me! Bernice, Bernice, Bernice, go, go!
Sorry, I choose to sleep with the banana monkey. Bananas, bananas, bananas, an island covered in bananas...
[Chaos Break: The Monkey King - Evil Ninja!]
Xin Yan: What is all this? I'm so out of touch.
On March 7th, the group passed through the curtain to the innermost part of the Grand Theater, where glowing puppets could be seen everywhere along the way.
On a platform not far away, many people were kneeling and worshipping in front of a tilted picture frame.
March 7: "Are the dolls gathered around the picture frame trying to get us to come inside?"
Enter the dream space by passing through the picture frame.
Act One of the Pre-Stage Play: "Ode to the Prisoner"
What came into view of the three was a messy space, with platforms connected by steps.
The road is surrounded by countless cube-shaped stones arranged in a spiral like springs.
As the group moved forward, Sunday's voice continued to echo, telling the story of the first act.
"In the Amber Calendar 2147, the prisoner Hanunu started a massive war and won. The company called it the Frontier War, while the Asdna called it the War of Independence."
"Mr. Hanunu was a great man, but we should not deny that he could bring freedom to prisoners, but he did not know how to give them true freedom."
"Three nameless travelers stayed here, trying to convey the lessons of pioneering to the frontier prison, but unfortunately, it was to no avail."
"Asdna is once again engulfed in war, this time the enemy comes from within. A prisoner is a prisoner until death, knowing only how to fight for freedom, not how to live for freedom."
"Their sentences have long since ended, and the company's jailers have been expelled. Yet these prisoners remain slaves, for it is not external things that imprison them, but their own hearts."
"Freedom exists everywhere except for weak souls. It can help no one but those who believe in its existence."
"This is the first act. Amidst the raging flames of war, the border prison gradually becomes a place of exile."
After a brief discussion, the three left the first act space and returned to the Grand Theater.
You can see the doll pointing the way.
"He gathered stardust and made it into the tip of a pen, and created symbols for pronunciation and counting."
"He makes the stardust into rivers, and he identifies the good and righteous upstream, and the evil and unrighteous downstream."
“From this point on, all things received their own marks, and people were able to know good and evil, benefit and harm.”
"These are the third and fourth days."
[Rin: Sunday's goal was to change Hoshino's and the others' minds on a spiritual level.]
[Qingque: There's so much content, I don't even want to read anymore. Can you keep it short? Stop with the filler. @PastFuture]
Okay, bro.
Guided by the doll, Xing arrived at the second picture frame.
Act Two of the Play: "Ode to the Foolish Servant" (Comments below if you'd like to see it)
The space in the second act is similar to that in the first act, but it is more organized. Instead of the messy blocks, there are picture frames floating around the road.
Himeko: "This is the process of Pinocchio gradually becoming a territory. After the arrival of the Harmony, the land of exile underwent earth-shattering changes. These changes... are not all positive."
March 7th, hands on hips, wearily remarked: "This person is so dramatic; his whole family are veteran actors."
After watching the second act, the group emerged from the dream space once again.
The sound of Sunday has returned.
"He picked up the star ring and set forth the laws, and established with the people the rules for conduct."
"The instrument is a large harp with black and white keys; the notes are symbols for sound production and counting; the melody is a river with descending but no ascending flow; and the musical form is defined by the established rules and regulations."
"The people then found the only place in the music, which is the fifth and sixth day."
[Himeko: This is all part of Pinocchio's history; he wanted to tell us that harmony cannot change Pinocchio.]
[Paimon: Wow, that's amazing. He directed and starred in this whole show all by himself.]
[Fufu: It's a bit like our opera.]
Guided by the doll, we arrived at the last picture frame.
Act III of the Play: Ode to Order (Leave a comment if you'd like to see more)
The name "March 7th" itself suggests that it's a day to celebrate the merits of order.
The final scene features the most orderly and straight space, with the road being a straight line.
The buildings on both sides are arranged symmetrically.
Himeko: "This is the final scene, and it's much easier to understand than the previous stories... He wants to drive out the sympathizers and establish an empire of order."
"Let's go. After the stage play ends... it'll be time for the main event of the comedy festival."
After summarizing, the group left the third act space and went to the grand theater.
[That sounds great, so why do you disagree? Equality and security—this isn't the ideal paradise.]
[Fufu: What's so good about it? Didn't you see those people living like manipulated puppets under the rules? Your thoughts and actions will never exceed the limits allowed by the park.]
[Rin: I also feel that's an extreme view.]
It's just following the rules. Aren't we already surrounded by enough rules in reality? Not to mention the hidden, unequal rules.
Centered on the grand theater stage, countless square stones were being drawn into the top by the wind.
Upon closer inspection, the stones are clearly small stages, arranged and inserted into the walls of the grand theater by a force.
The shadows cast by the lights in several rooms played a harmonious melody.
A red carpet flew up from the center stage of the grand theater, with one end reaching the edge, forming a path in front of the three people.
Everything foreshadows the path to the stage.
The spacious theater was illuminated by a dazzling array of star-like chandeliers. The bright yet warm lighting dispelled any sense of unfamiliarity and created an elegant and comfortable atmosphere.
The wall lamps emit a warm yellow glow, complementing the chandeliers and outlining the exquisite silhouette of the grand theater, highlighting the building's classical charm.
Scattered, glossy feathers drifted down from the sky.
"He gave meaning to all people in the world, and all things in heaven and earth were completed. He has ceased all the work of creation."
"However, all beings cried out to Taiyi again: You define order for all people, yet you make us realize that we are nothing but your puppets!"
"Therefore on that day, all the people were united as one and threw God into the pit of destruction."
--------
I see a lot of people want to see characters from Honkai Impact 3rd, and yes, I do have some, guys.
The author is going to replay the Honkai Impact 3rd storyline.
However, when the Honkai Impact 3rd characters finally appeared, their personalities were the same as the ones I had encountered.
Chapter 101: Once, Now, Forever
"Manager, Little A has detected a new world. We can try to make a connection."
"Oh. Let me see, isn't this Welt Yang's hometown? The Honkai really is chasing him."
A fourth golden thread split off from the golden sphere in his hand, traversing space and time and extending into the infinite depths.
March 7th stared blankly around in surprise: "The Grand Theatre has completely changed... Is this the power of order?"
Himeko: "Everyone, get ready. We may be facing a fierce battle."
Throughout the theater, various string symphonies flowed like silk, their melodies solemn yet soothing, echoing as if welcoming the birth of a new god.
Holy crap! This is the grand theater I remember.
[Dartaria: All that fancy stuff. We're supposed to be fighting, why all this classical elegance?]
[Yao Jiayin: These strings intertwine and resonate, yet remain perfectly synchronized, as if orchestrated by a conductor.]
