"Xing slowly opened the treasure chest. There was a click, and the entire room suddenly lit up. Countless lights shone from all directions, illuminating every detail of the previously dark corner."
"The light came on so suddenly that Xing squinted subconsciously. After her vision adjusted, she found that the entire room was filled with countless discarded televisions and six doors leading in different directions."
"…What's going on?! Why are all the lights on? It's so scary…" Liuying took a deep breath and subconsciously moved closer to Xing. "But, there are so many doors here… We should be able to leave through one of them…"
Xing pushed open one of the doors and soon came to an almost identical room, but the televisions stacked here were all flickering white, and the boy's terrified voice emerged from the wall:
“Help…Help…!”
“Save me…”
-
JOJO's Bizarre Adventure Golden Wind.
"Something's wrong."
Giorno suddenly spoke, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the chair. The rhythmic "clicking" sound was like the nervous heartbeats of the two people in the sky, so tight that Trish was a little panicked.
"This, this is totally like the atmosphere of a horror movie..." Trish dug her nails into the leather of the armrest. "I don't want to watch this anymore... What if a ghost suddenly pops out from behind the door..."
The stars and fireflies in the sky had already pushed open the third door. The scenery behind the door was no different from the first door: stacked televisions, the boy's voice, and white words constantly appearing on the wall...
"..."
"Could it be that little girl with twintails who did it?"
Fugo lowered his head and thought for a while before making a guess.
"No. She should only be responsible for bringing Xing and Liuying to this damn place." Giorno frowned slightly, "They will never be able to reach the 'real' place outside of here... In other words, someone wants to trap them here."
"Is it someone from the family?"
"I'm not sure, but I guess they must have infringed upon someone's interests." Giorno looked up at the two girls in the sky, a look of pity in his eyes. "In Gold Dust, Xing is powerful enough to overturn the entire card table—but I don't think so."
"Pinoconi is full of hidden talents. Many people are lying dormant, waiting for others to make a move and then counterattack. [Harmony] is in front, and [Protection] is behind. Caught between these two forces, the power of the star core may be special, but it is not enough to shake the overall situation. Unless -"
"-Unless someone behind the scenes wants her to shake up the situation." Fugo took over the boy's words and said.
-
"Xing and Liuying pushed open another door, and sure enough—the room was decorated in the same way."
A sense of foreboding rose in Liuying's heart: "It's like this again... No, could it be..."
"Suddenly, shrill music filled the room. The cheerful beat carried the exaggerated sound effects of a cartoon, as if someone had deliberately pressed the play button on an old children's program. The sudden movement, mixed with the boy's terrified, hoarse voice, gave Xing goosebumps on the back of her neck."
"The voice in the wall said in horror: "█ ...
"When they opened the next door, they couldn't tell which door they had opened first. From this door, there were cries and sobs everywhere, making their scalps tingle."
““█ ...
"The two continued to move towards the next door. This time, the sounds were completely muffled, and the flashing light from the television became even more intense."
"The flash from the TV is so bright... Be careful, something seems to be..." Liuying subconsciously tugged at Xing's coat.
"Accompanied by a burst of blinding light, a giant purple eye suddenly appeared!"
"That pupil moved and blinked like a living thing. Even more terrifying, its image spread like a virus to the other televisions in the room. In the blink of an eye, the entire room was filled with purple eyes, their gazes forming an invisible net that trapped them."
"At some point, a purple cloud formed on the ceiling, and an unsettling red light poured down. Along with the teeth-grinding sound of metal rubbing against each other, a twisted behemoth slowly emerged from the purple cloud—"
"It looked like a monster made of countless eyeballs. Its snake-like body had sharp bone blades growing out of the end. The most striking thing about it was its head, which resembled the sharp claws of some creature."
-
fate.
In the living room of the Emiya family, the scarlet light in the monster's eyes in the sky was reflected on the faces of four people with different expressions.
"Wow--"
Toosaka Rin accidentally knocked over the teacup on the dining table, and the tea dripped onto her skirt, but she was completely unaware. She just widened her eyes in horror, staring at the twisted monster made up of countless eyeballs.
"Isn't this a beautiful dream?! Why is there this...this..."
Lin couldn't find the right words to describe it, and frantically gestured in the air with her fingers. She felt that this monster resembled nothing, indescribable and indefinable, as if it were simply the embodiment of the concept of "nightmare."
"Master, from the moment they entered this dream, you should have been prepared to be frightened." Lancer sighed softly. "Pinocone's dream... I knew it wasn't that simple, but I never imagined the family would secretly possess such a large creature."
"Interesting... What if we caught this monster and dumped it on the streets of Pinocchio? That would be quite entertaining, wouldn't it?" Lancer said with interest. "What would those hounds do if they saw it? They'd probably run away with their tails between their legs..."
"That would only lead to more casualties." Saber frowned. "But death shouldn't exist in Pinocchio's dream. So, what's the point of raising such a monster?"
"Perhaps this is a knife the family has been sharpening for ages?" Lancer's eyes flashed with a sharpness. "Anyone who stands in the family's path will be thrown into this dreamland to be slaughtered by this monster. Harmony... Kill all those who create discordant sounds, and wouldn't the remaining sounds be harmonious? Perhaps this is the core philosophy of the Harmony family."
Chapter 344: Pinocchio (Thirty-three)
"The moment the monster emerged from the purple mist, Liuying instinctively stood in front of Xing, but the next second, her wrist was grasped by Xing, and she was pulled behind him."
““—Back off!””
"The metal bat whistled through the air as it slammed fiercely into the monster's sharp tail spike. Amidst the piercing buzzing of metal, Xing was thrown back by the immense force. When she struggled to her feet, she saw that Liuying had been engulfed by its tail, holding her up before its eyes."
"The cold, hard tail tightened around her waist. Liuying clenched her fists, her knuckles tense until they turned white. She seemed to be hesitating about doing something, but finally gave up."
"Suddenly, the air around the monster rippled. A faint blue light quietly emerged, like the trailing flame of a meteor. The light quickly spread out, forming a huge circle that enveloped the monster—"
"That circular formation is so magnificent that it makes one want to hold their breath."
"Countless delicate lines of light intertwined into patterns of various colors, like the rose windows of an ancient church emerging from the void. The next second, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, five giant amethyst-like claws stretched out from the formation, and with a "bang", they pinned the monster firmly to the wall."
“If you don’t master the right method…”
"Not far away, a white-haired woman in a purple veil sat elegantly in front of the TV, her slender fingers fiddling with a floating, shimmering playing card."
"But there's no way to escape unscathed from the shadow of Death."
-
OVERLORD.
Lizardfolk, Green Claw Tribe.
"That purple woman can actually summon a demonic arm?"
As one of the few female lizardmen in the tribe who is proficient in multiple types of magic, although Koerxiu does not understand the very advanced principles of magic, she can roughly judge the pros and cons of magic.
The massive circular magic circle had unfolded with the monster at its center. Its patterns were intricate and magnificent, creating a dreamlike illusion. More importantly, the magic circle didn't simply suppress the monster; it served as a gateway to another world, revealing a tiny glimpse of the sealed monster.
The woman didn't seem to need to chant at all—or rather, there was no sign of her chanting at all. However, the magic she performed was impeccable in both completion and precision.
Then, there is only one answer -
This woman must be a very dangerous demon summoner.
"Devil's arm... Are you saying that she can summon a strong man like the Great Supreme to join the battle?" said a taller black male lizardman on the side.
“…Zaryusu, that’s quite disrespectful.”
"Ah! Sorry!"
Ever since their Lizardmen tribe swore allegiance to the Supreme Lord, Kortsch had not dared to say anything bad about Lord Ainz in the tribe. Although the Lizardmen tribe had indeed become increasingly prosperous under his rule, such disrespectful words... Who knew if there were any surveillance or spies in the tribe that they could not detect?
"It's hard to say whether what that woman summoned was actually a demon or not. Perhaps it was a being beyond demons—"
Beyond demons… The only thing Zaryusu could think of right now was the Supreme Being. But from Koltsu's tone, it seemed as if the purple woman had summoned something even more powerful than the Supreme Being.
But...this shouldn't be possible, right?
It was really hard for him to imagine.
"…Does such a thing really exist?"
"Perhaps it doesn't exist on this continent, but in the cosmic civilizations outside the continent, it's not uncommon, just like Star Gods and Order Envoys."
"Oh, doesn't that mean that the power of the Supreme Lord—"
"Shh!"
Koltsu seemed to have anticipated her husband's next dangerous remarks and quickly interrupted him.
"Zaryusu, you can guess, but please don't say it out loud if you guess it."
As if frightened by his wife's rare serious look, a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down Zaryusu's head. He nodded sharply: "Okay, okay!"
-
"The monster struggled to break free from those crystalline hands and returned to the center of the room."
"You are...?" Liuying glanced at the elegant lady beside her.
"Relax, little sister, I'm on your side." The woman covered her mouth with her hand and smiled softly, "Why don't you call me... [Rememberer] Black Swan."
"Black Swan wantonly flicked the cards in his hand. With every slight movement, countless indescribable giant hands emerged from the ground and frantically attacked the monster."
"But it's quite tough...it took several rounds of fire from the Black Swan and still managed to stay alive and kicking."
"See you next time."
"Black Swan gracefully drew a card. The faint blue light suddenly converged, transforming into a massive magic circle that descended from the sky, directly covering the monster."
"Instantly, the monster let out an ear-piercing roar, its thousands of eyeballs swirling wildly, but its body was pinned to the ground by an invisible force, as if desperately resisting some unbreakable law."
"Hurry up!" Black Swan flicked his fingertips, and a card formed a portal beside the two of them.
"Liu Ying was quick-witted and swift-handed. He grabbed Xing and dived inside. He disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Naruto.
"The Rememberer..."
Tsunade looked away from the sky in shock.
"Is Liuguang Yiting so powerful? It seems that she is using the cards in her hand to perform different 'spells'. The more cards she has, the more methods she has."
"But she is someone who remembers destiny... I thought her method of attack would be to make the opponent fall into memories or something like that..." Terumi Mei recalled when the star first entered the simulated universe and the Memory Star God made his debut, she was forcibly controlled by the memory for dozens of seconds.
"Besides that, there's something else that's very strange." Gaara suddenly spoke up, "She's from Liuguang Yiting. Why would she help Xing? There's no reason at all, right?"
In his opinion, anyone who could come to Pinocchio...except for the relatively frank Miss Liuying, seemed to be a bad person.
What's more, this black swan generously showed off his skills in front of others -
This woman's strength is unfathomable. She can easily suppress monsters that even Xing can't deal with... Even if she saved herself, she still has to be extremely vigilant.
"And Black Swan seems to know more about Pinocchio than Xing does... Is this the Remembrancer's power? Or does she have her own way of obtaining information?"
Chapter 345: Pinocchio (Thirty-four)
"..."
"When Xing opened her eyes again, she saw Miss Black Swan who had saved her in her dream."
"You're awake, little sleepyhead. It seems you had a good dream." Black Swan smiled slightly, "How about it, did you dream about me?"
“Is this heaven…?”
“Welcome to reality—the Daydream Hotel—the place you are most familiar with and the safest. I’m glad that your mental state is still normal and has not been affected by that ‘original dream’. Good luck.”
"Liuying...did she escape?"
"Hehe, you really care about that little girl. Even in the face of death, she did everything she could to keep you safe... Even I'm a little moved."
"I know you have a lot of questions in your head, but don't worry. Before that, let your friends who are worried about you know that you are safe."
"Xing followed Black Swan to the lounge area on the first floor. Before he even went downstairs, he heard Sanyueqi and Jizi talking."
Sanyueqi put his hands on his hips and said, "How suspicious... How could this be such a coincidence? There's definitely something fishy about that woman."
“Himeko shook her head: “But she did find Xing and saved her—for now, all we can do is listen to what she wants…”
The two returned to the train crew. As soon as they saw Xing, Sanyueqi came over with a worried look on his face. "Xing, are you okay? I couldn't find you in reality or in my dreams. I was so worried..."
"After a brief introduction to the cause and effect, Xing learned that Jizi and Black Swan had known each other for a long time. They had met by chance during a dream investigation."

Psychic 100%.
"Wait... What do you mean I can't find her in reality or in my dreams? Did Xing's real body disappear after she went to Pinocchio?"
