Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"It's a meme! That meme is coming after me again!"

A ball of purple air condensed above Huang Quan and Black Swan's heads, and a familiar giant purple claw slowly emerged from it...

Chapter 350: Pinocchio (Thirty-nine)

"Seeing that Liuying was safe and sound, Xing's lips curled up unconsciously, and his pace quickened, his excitement unconcealed, until he practically broke into a jog."

"However."

"The hairs on the back of her neck suddenly stood up—Xing suddenly leaned over, and the wind pressure from his sharp claws brushed against the back of her neck, causing a shudder. She stumbled and raised her head, only to see the most cruel scene—"

"Liuying has been swept up into the air by the meme."

"The expression on her face was one of surprise and shock... before she could even react with fear, the sharp tail blade of the meme had already accurately pierced her chest."

“Puff.”

"It was as if time had slowed down immensely at that moment, slow enough for her to see the crystal-clear water stains sliding down the tail blade, slow enough for her to hear the girl's dying, yet infinitely guilty apology."

""sorry……""

"Xing's legs seemed to have grown roots, and she watched helplessly as the coldly glowing tail blade advanced another half an inch."

““Chi——”

"The sound of metal piercing flesh was remarkably clear. Liuying's body trembled slightly with this movement, like a kite blown by the wind. Two lines of clear tears slid down her pale cheeks, reflecting a shimmering light in the nightlight of her dreams."

"The tail blade suddenly yanked out, hurling Firefly towards the ground. Xing stumbled and stretched out her hands to catch it, but it passed through her body in vain, catching only a handful of crystal water."

Konosuba: God's blessing on this wonderful world.

“Kazuma! Kazuma, what’s wrong with you?!”

Aqua's screams echoed throughout the tavern. Kazuma fell backward like a felled log, hitting the floor with a thud, his eyes still wide open as if he had died.

"No way! Could it be that he couldn't accept the tragic death of Hotaru-chan, whom he sacrificed ten years of singleness for, and that's why he fainted?" Aqua knelt beside him in panic, poking Kazuma's cheek with her fingers.

“There’s nothing I can do…” Aqua took a deep breath and placed her hands on Kazuma’s chest: “Healing technique!”

A dazzling light flashed—Kazuma's body suddenly bounced half a meter high and fell heavily back to the ground.

“It hurts, it hurts!” Kazuma sat up, holding the back of his head. “I seemed to have a dream. I dreamed that Miss Liuying was stabbed in the chest. Hahahaha… Aqua, that must have been a dream, right?”

"Ms. Liuying?" Huihui raised her hand and pointed at the puddle of water in Xing's hand. "That's Miss Liuying."

"..."

Kazuma's face turned from pale to livid at a visible speed. His lips trembled a few times, and finally, a "gulp" sound came out.

"boom!"

He fell straight back like a severed flagpole and fell unconscious again.

-

Chainsaw Man.

Looking at the scene of fireflies being killed in the sky, Denci slumped on the old sofa, his back sinking deeply into the somewhat deformed cushion.

(Why did Liuying die? Isn’t Miss Huangquan super powerful?)

(Come to think of it, that meme is pretty sinister...)

(Should I cry now? But I can’t squeeze out any tears.)

"My heart has been taken away by a firefly. Perhaps there will be no more sorrow or joy in this life."

Denci felt nauseous, so nauseous that he almost vomited the buttered bread and ice cream he had eaten for breakfast. He covered his mouth desperately, and an indescribable sadness surged into his heart.

"Will I never see fireflies again?"

His fingers curled slightly, as if trying to grasp something, but in the end he just scraped across the slightly rough fabric of the sofa in vain.

The devil beside him frowned.

"Hey, Denci, what's wrong with you? It's disgusting..."

Pava, who was chewing snacks nearby, said idly, "Don't you love fireworks the most? Fireflies are dead, but one day the stars will transform fireworks into fireflies, so we can see them again, right?"

"And Hanabi can transform into whatever she wants. Maybe she can even make some adjustments to her body and transform into a hotaru with bigger breasts?"

"..."

Denci was silent for a moment, and began to think carefully with his head tilted.

(Huh?)

(That seems to be the case...)

The indescribable sorrow instantly transformed into Sese's thoughts, which cheered Denci up in an instant.

(Is it the one with bigger breasts, Hotaru-chan?)

"Great!"

-

Gintama.

Gintoki's eyes went dark and he fell on the sofa, his arms hanging limply, and the strawberry milk slipped from his fingers, splashing a pink stain on the floor.

"Ahhhhhh!" He let out a heartbreaking wail, writhing on the sofa like a dehydrated eel. "Why! Why do good women always die first? Beautiful girls of this level can obviously live for at least three volumes in Jump!"

"I, I want to create a world where Lin... No! Where Firefly exists!"

Shinpachi pushed his glasses up and grumbled silently, "By the way, is it really appropriate for you to say this? Even if the Mangekyo is to be awakened, it will be the stars, not you..."

Gintoki suddenly sat up with a somersault, grabbing his natural curls. "Damn it! Huang Quan and Black Swan didn't react at all?! I remember Huang Quan, the Sea Ranger, was also very strong, right?"

"Maybe I was careless and didn't dodge?" Kagura said while chewing vinegar kelp.

"Is that the point!?" Gintoki grabbed a JUMP magazine, rolled it up into a tube, and hit Kagura on the head. "The point is, because of their negligence, we lost another beautiful girl who fell from the sky! And Xing also lost the chance to find a partner!"

-

"Xing, are you... okay?"

"Is this... a dream..." Xing still looked at everything happening in front of her in disbelief."

"Xing, look at me... calm down and take a deep breath, okay?" Huang Quan looked at her with concern.

"Only after Black Swan used his ability as a memorizer to help Xing ease the pain of losing Liuying did Xing finally manage to get over it. The problem was that it all happened so suddenly."

“I’m truly sorry, but I have to be away for a while… Death is still roaming around, and I must personally check on the safety of Ms. Himeko and Ms. Mitsukichi, and give them a heads-up…”

"After entrusting the safety of the star to Huang Quan, Black Swan left."

"Huang Quan is also very sorry that this happened. She was too focused on Liuying and ignored the sneak attack from Meme."

“It’s not your fault. The most important thing is to find out what happened.”

Huang Quan nodded. "Well, we should open our eyes and think about where the real enemy is hiding and how to fight it... Don't let the pain control your thoughts, Xing. Maintain your self-esteem, and you will stay on the right path."

Chapter 351: Pinocchio (Forty)

"Someone once warned me... 'There's no need to show mercy to your enemies; that would be cruel to yourself. But you must recognize who your true enemy is...' And you must understand the meaning and cost of swinging that sword."

"This is the only advice a man with a bloody record can give you."

"While the two were talking, Black Swan returned with a message from Himeko and Miss Sanyueshichi. There was some bad news, some good news."

"She handed Xing a memory bubble, and soon Xing saw the images of several people."

"Himeko and Sanyueqi were stopped by the family members. Black Swan was right beside them, but the family members didn't notice her."

"Himeko: "I understand the situation. Please evacuate Xing to a safe location. If you have time, you can investigate the firefly incident first. We'll meet at the Clock Kid statue later."

Is it wrong to seek encounters in a dungeon?

"call……"

Seeing that Jizi and Miss March Seven were safe, Bell breathed a sigh of relief. After experiencing Liuying's tragic death, his spirit had been as taut as a string, fearing that the knife called "meme" would point to Xing's other companions.

"Miss Liuying has completely turned into a puddle of water..." Lilyluka lowered her head in thought. "If Miss Liuying died in her dream, what about her real body? Can she dream again in the Dreaming Pool?"

"Miss March Seven said earlier that once you enter the Primordial Dream, you can no longer find yourself in either the Star Reality or the Dream Realm. I'm afraid... Liuying's body has also disappeared by now."

Hestia shuddered. At first, she'd thought Pinocchio was simply on vacation, but now it seemed he might be even more dangerous than the dungeons. At least the adventurers who explored the dungeons knew the dangers of their destination and prepared for them. But in a dream... who knew if a meme would emerge and stab you?

The key point is that it escapes after killing people and leaves whenever it wants. We can't even fight it together.

Bell shook his head. "I still think it's unlikely that the body will disappear. Perhaps the family did something to hide her. After all, once she arrives in the Primordial Dream, it's equivalent to knowing the truth about her family. There's no way the family will let her go."

-

"We decided to find a safe place to talk."

"Ms. Black Swan, aren't you planning on opening a... portal or something?"

"Well... I don't recommend that. Her mental state is still unstable, so we should try to avoid that kind of 'rough' movement just now. And - while evacuating, we can still do more for Miss Liuying, right? There are still some traces of her left around here. Let them become your 'memories' before they disappear completely."

"…If we can conduct an investigation along the way, that would be great." Huang Quan looked at the puddle of water left by the fireflies on the ground, his eyes trembling slightly. "Sorry, can you give me a few more minutes?"

"Perhaps due to the influence of dreams, these traces are gradually disappearing."

"They watched Huang Quan turn and walk away. Xing remembered that it was there that she vanished into thin air."

"Everyone saw her stop, purse her lips, and lower her eyes. After a moment, she bent down, seemed to be holding something with her hands, and stood up again."

"May death end your long dream... and lead you back... to the waking world."

"In Huang Quan's palm, the tiny specks of water turned into dream bubbles. Tiny specks of light floated from between her fingers like fireflies, flying towards the invisible distance of dreams."

"On the ground, half of a nearly defunct phone lay, with a single, unsent message remaining...a photo of two people smiling happily."

"After Xing sent the photo to his phone, the last trace of Firefly completely dissipated, vanishing into a dream bubble."

Nezha: The Devil Child Conquers the Dragon King.

Taiyi Zhenren was staggering back to the Golden Light Cave with a big belly, and he could hear Nezha's thunder-like roar from inside from a distance.

"I'm going to skin that monster! I'm going to dig out its eyeballs one by one and use them as marbles!"

Then came Ao Bing's voice: "Nezha, calm down first..."

"Calm down!" Another clanging sound echoed through the cave. "How can you stay calm when you've turned to water? You should kill this monster first, then throw it in front of the man with wings on the back of his head and see what he says or how he explains it!"

Listening to his disciple's angry speech, Taiyi Zhenren just sighed softly. He stroked his beard pretentiously and was about to put on the airs of a master to enter the venue when suddenly a fruit plate flew out through the door -

"Snapped!"

His face was covered in cold watermelon pulp, and a few grapes and dates were rolling down his belly. Seeing the real person being hit, Ao Bing cried out in surprise and rushed out to help. Nezha was standing next to him, barefoot on the stone table, looking furious.

"Ouch..." Taiyi Zhenren wiped his face, cleaned the melon pulp on it, and stared at Nezha with a serious face, "If you continue like this, you will cause trouble sooner or later. You must stay calm before encountering any problems, and you must know how to analyze -"

"Can analysis save people?! Pinocchio's dreams were all caused by his family. This monster must be related to the winged man! We should find him. Don't ask for explanations. Just rip his wings off!"

"In short, as long as they're family members... no one can escape responsibility!"

-

"In the dream, Black Swan noticed something unusual: "…What's going on? A sudden...heat in my memory?"

Huang Quan said warily, "You noticed it too. It looks like something is burning..."

"The three of them arrived at a hall and found it littered with the charred remains of the Dream Dancer Troupe. Even tiny sparks remained on their bodies, proving the perpetrators hadn't gone far."

"Some of the monsters' remains were pierced by some kind of thermal weapon. The tissue beneath their shells seems to have been explosively vaporized by the intense heat in a short period of time."

"From the memories of these remains... the man was tall, much stronger than an adult male, and his methods were clean and efficient, always killing with a single strike—perhaps a mercenary or an assassin."

"He entered through the lobby door and headed deeper into the hotel. So... he must have seen everything that happened..." Black Swan's expression suddenly grew serious. "...I take that back. We need to rush to that memory zone where Miss Liuying's image is imprinted. Given this friend's style..."

"If that was his destination—there wouldn't be any clues left at the scene."
