"I never do business at a loss, and I hope my friends won't let me down."

“You really should go,” Xing replied with a slightly serious tone.

"Hmm, very good." After saying that, Sand Gold prepared to leave the room.

[Topa: Little Gold Dust, do you need my help?]

[Gold Placer: No need, it's still under control.]

Just then, Sand Gold, who had just reached the door, seemed to remember something and turned back.

"Before we go, let's play one last game. It's simple: guess which hand I have the chips in. Consider it a chance to get to know me better, so you can understand my personality and way of doing things..."

Ding—A chip was tossed into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by two tightly clasped hands, positioned in front of Xing.

"Left or right? Get ready, I'm about to reveal the answer... Oh, I haven't even asked you which side you chose yet. But that's okay, because—"

Sand Gold discarded his golden chips with a cold laugh and approached Star step by step.

"Friend, the game has already started."

"Let's make a deal."

Sand Gold's hands are outstretched.

"You can't refuse..."

"No reason..."

Xing was forced back a step by the oppressive aura of the gold dust, and felt something appear in her hand. Opening her right hand, she saw a—

The nearby sand gold also took off its glasses, revealing eyes that were fixed on its prey.

There is no room for maneuver.

[Qingque: Such a strong sense of oppression, almost as strong as an angry Lord Fu Xuan.]

[Company member: Having a boss like this is my blessing, hehe.]

[Zhongli: What a deep-seated cunning, what a calculating mind.]

[March 7th: Xing, don't trust him.]

[Ring: This person must not be allowed to live; he's definitely planning something big.]

[Sunday: Sand Gold, I hope you don't ruin this event. I'll be watching you.]

[Jadeite: Small-sized gold dust is really impressive.]

Seeing this, everyone gained a new understanding of placer gold; no one who could sit in such a high position was simple.

A sound suddenly came from the doorway.

What are you doing in my room?

(Unnamed or unimportant characters will not be listed.)

[It's Lord Huang Quan, he's so handsome!]

[A clerk: I am Lord Huang Quan's dog.]

[Wow, all the big shots are gathered here. This is what I can see.]

[Oh no, I hope they won't stab Xing in the back again.]

[Please, strike me! I want to be struck!]

[Huang Quan: ...]

[Ling Sha: This generation of netizens is really in 'good' spirits]

The three people in the picture are standing in a triangle, which gives off a slightly eerie feeling.

"Your room?" Sand Gold crossed his arms and looked at Huang Quan warily.

"Wow, you're amazing, friend. You've only been in Pinocchio for a short time, and you've already learned how to invite people to join you."

"Don't get me wrong, I was just reminding you that this place is a mixed bag, and there are a lot of bad guys out there. Remember to be careful, like... remember to close the door."

"Then I'll take my leave first, Xing! Have a good time." With that, Sand Gold left the room.

Huang Quan remained silent.

"Have we met somewhere before...?"

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Xing looked puzzled.

"This is my room."

Elsewhere, family members were seriously questioned on Sunday.

"Huang Quan, how did she manage to check the invitation letter and let in someone who walks on the void?"

"Upon inspection, the invitation was found to be from the Annihilation Gang."

"The Annihilation Gang... if that's the case, then the Annihilation Gang probably doesn't exist anymore."

"Indeed."

"This is troublesome; she is a very dangerous person."

I looked somber on Sunday; the grand event was about to begin, and I hoped it wouldn't bother me.

“This is my room,” Huang Quan said calmly.

"Could I have gone to the wrong room? That shouldn't be the case. I double-checked the room number before disturbing you..." (Red)

"Could it be the wrong room area... no, the wrong building number too? Sorry, this hotel is too big, and the corridors are all very similar. It's easy to get lost if you're not careful..." (Red)

Suddenly, the red subtitles reappeared.

[Qingque: Huang Quan seems quite special; so far, I've only ever seen her with red subtitles.]

[Ring: Is it possible that the concept of a dream has appeared most frequently in the video from the beginning of Huang Quan's room until now? Two spaces, reality and dream, with Huang Quan unaffected by the dream.]

[Fufu: That can't be right, they can't possibly be living in a dream right now.]

[Sunday: Of course not, you can only reach the real dream state by entering a dream.]

"Anyway, I'm glad you're safe and sound. I should go back to my room now."

"But before I leave, may I ask you one more question? It might seem strange or even rude to you, but I'd like to know..."

[Gui Naifen: Here we go again, it feels so familiar.]

"Have we met somewhere?"

“Maybe it’s in a dream…” Xing replied.

The subtitles turned red again.

"Is that so? Ever since just now, I've had this feeling of familiarity... Maybe this is what they call déjà vu, haha, it's also a kind of fate." (Red)

"Star, that's your name, right? It's nice to meet you."

"Am I that famous now?"

“You forgot what that gentleman said. I don’t have a very good memory, but I’m not so bad as to forget something that happened just a few minutes ago.”

"Sea Patrol Knight, Yellow Springs... these are how they address me, use them as you like. We should meet again." (Red)

[Potio: Holy crap, Sea Ranger, I don't know you! Don't move, I'm going to shoot you dead.]

[Su Chang: This gentleman's Su is excellent.]

[Ranpo: This is ninja rhetoric.]

[Gui Naifen: Plain clothes are a sign of good manners. This gentleman's words are quite interesting.]

[Fischl: Your words are quite peculiar, and they greatly surprise this princess of the Dark Night. Heeding this call of destiny, I, Fischl, princess of the Dark Night's Pure Land, hereby grant you the right to enter the Dark Night's Pure Land!] (Thank you to the reader.)

[Jing Yuan: The Sea Patrol Knights are a lovely group of people. I'd love to join them, but alas.]

[Fu Xuan: Go with peace of mind, it's time for me to be the general.]

"Finally, just a simple piece of advice: there are some people who possess an unwavering will and belief, but do not intend to use it for good. And on that gentleman's face, I saw a familiar expression."

"If you carry a knife, you'll always use it to cut something down. And a gambler, when facing total defeat, will inevitably burn his bridges and go all in. That's all I can say."

"You should know these things before making a choice. Goodbye."

Huang Quan then left.

[Gold mine: Don't start this before the gambling even starts; this is a betrayal.]

[Fireworks: Gold dust: Hehe, not hehe.]

[Sunday: I'll be keeping an eye on you.]

[Fou: Haha, Mr. Sand Gold is in for a rough time.]

Another Sunday after watching the story for the third time, a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems like it worked..."

Chapter 10 Eternal Dance - If you want to escape, dance with me!

In the real world, Sand Gold is still on his way to Pinocchio and is talking to Toppa and Emerald.

"Judging from the situation, it seems your mission is going to fail this time. Do you need Toppa to go with you?"

He pondered the matter for a moment.

"No need. I believe in my luck. Since things have come to this, I might as well take a big gamble. The worst that can happen is that I lose my life. You don't need to come, but I'd like to borrow your foundation."

“No problem, here you go,” Topa readily replied.

"Your luck is really unreasonable, here you go!"

I hung up the call, walked to the car window, and could vaguely see the Pinocchio. I took a deep breath and relaxed. I will win, regardless of victory or defeat.

"All or nothing."

The blogger you follow has updated.

Everyone in the three universes who followed the message received a notification sound.

This time, the name is "Eternal Dance".

Waves surged in the deep sea, the scene was pitch black, and only through the reflection of the waves could one see that it was the surface of the sea, but what was revealed was the color of blood, the entire deep sea was blood red.

"Memory is no different from the deep sea."

Never gaze at the sea on a starless night.

The scene shifts, and a stunningly beautiful face gradually comes into focus.

The black swan gazed affectionately at what was before it.

"Waiting for someone?"

Huang Quan sat there with an indifferent expression, his eyelids lowered, and his gaze lifeless.

After hearing what the black swan said, Huang Quan simply shook his head slightly.

[Amber: Oh my god, this visual is absolutely stunning, it's so beautiful.]

[Screenshot]

[Bell: Screenshot]

[Star: Pfft, I'll just take a close-up photo with my face pressed together.]

[Hu Tao: I'm so envious!]

"Well... would you like to dance with me?"

[Qingque: So, in Xing's dream before, the Black Swan's dance partner was Huang Quan.]

[Black Tower: Nothing more than a memory seeker who wants to peek into the memories of others.]

[The Black Swan: Memories are captivating, especially deep and meaningful ones.]

[Fireworks: What do I lack compared to her that made her reject me?]
