Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Even Xing was somewhat blinded by his own involvement in the death of Liu Ying.

Himeko and Welt, however, with their familiarity with Sora from their long-term interactions and their extensive experience, noticed that Sora was trying hard to hide her detached, amused attitude.

Because Himeko and Welt's attention was not on that, but entirely focused on the black swan covered in purple.

The level of vigilance and caution is almost at its maximum.

Sand Gold: "Look at this—yet another death that the patriarch is trying so hard to hide."

"Who on earth could brew death in the dream of 'Pinocchio'?"

Suddenly, Sand Gold's phone rang; it was a message from Professor Ladio.

That message abruptly interrupted the chain of words that Sand Gold had already formed in his mind.

The reason was that the news was—four more deaths had occurred at Pinocchio.

Gaia, Yunli, Yanqing, and Hook.

This news caused Sand Gold's face to freeze momentarily.

Even now, I'm wondering if there's any need to recycle this "Pinocone".

This death list...

Although he now suspects that only death can reveal the true dream, and he is planning a grand finale of his own, to find an irrefutable reason for the company, "Pinocconi," and pry open a gap.

But it's just speculation after all, another gamble with one's life.

Chapter 387 The Records of Akasha

Now, the sudden deaths of these individuals are like a bombshell, enough to shake up the murky waters.

If the speculation about death is true, then it could be an opportunity.

But if it really dies... then "Pinocone" would probably be physically blown up.

This debt would truly become a bad debt, the kind that's impossible to recover, unless the company is willing to pay some interstellar dust.

Fortunately, according to Ladio, there is still a chance for things to turn around.

Ladio also believes that there may be something wrong with Pinocchio's death, and that it may not have been a real death.

So the news was temporarily suppressed, and there are still a few system hours left for the gold mine.

What can be done in this time to find a way to change the situation?

Sand Gold smiled bitterly to himself. What kind of situation was this? In order to collect the debt from "Pinocconi", he had to resolve the crisis of "Pinocconi" first.

Sand Gold silently bid farewell to the train crew.

Ladio indeed did not relay this message back to "Shenxiao Space City" and Luofu and Zhuming Immortal Ship.

Because the four people had already been dead for some time when they were discovered.

Ladio knew something about the nature of Gaia—celestial life, astral spirits.

If one were to encounter danger, and all the escape, survival, and distress calls from geniuses were rendered ineffective for unknown reasons, such an extreme situation would lead to a silent death.

As expected, Gaia will be the first to die.

In order to regain consciousness, Gaia will promptly complain to his parents, and then there will be unusual activity among the geniuses. They will immediately send the general from the Immortal Ship to fight back and save the rest of the people.

If consciousness fails to return, then the situation is serious. Gaia's physical body will definitely change, and the geniuses will know immediately. After informing General Xianzhou, they will rush over.

It's not impossible that after catching the thugs and beating them up, the "Shenxiao Space City," "Luofu Immortal Ship," and "Zhu Ming Immortal Ship" would all come rushing over together.

Therefore, the logic is obvious—

He was dead for a while + the genius didn't come to kill him + the immortal ship didn't arrive = he wasn't really dead.

However, although he didn't actually die, he probably did experience something.

Ladio had spoken with the family, and in his judgment, the family's astonishment was genuine.

Gaia, Yanqing, Yunli, and Hook did not actually die, because there was some leeway, but not much.

In the following days, the few who knew the situation quickened their pace, while the uninformed were swept along.

Everything is accelerating, and people with all sorts of motives are frequently encountering and colliding with each other.

Only a few people can observe from a detached perspective, remaining calm and unperturbed.

Toppa used the pretext of Zhang Zhang's disappearance to break through the family's tight security.

Although they are still constrained and monitored, at least the company can allow a small number of people to enter the dream world of "Pinocchio".

With its reach extended, the company's influence naturally extends as well.

The Fool, looking for fun, meddled a little, and of course, the meddlesome Black Swan lady also got involved.

Sai Fei'er had committed too many crimes in the end, and Black Swan caught a whiff of precious memories in this elusive thief.

They offered some assistance to the hunting dogs and Toppa.

The power of memory brings back what has happened.

Zhang Zhang was snatched away by Sai Fei'er, who fell from the sky.

Before finding Zhang Zhang, Topa hoped to find her quickly; after finding Zhang Zhang, Topa suddenly didn't want to find her anymore.

It's quite contradictory, but understandable.

Once the accounts are found, the blockade that was finally broken through with a pretext has to be reverted.

In short, Saifeier was caught, and when Black Swan tried to secretly check her memories, Hanabi interfered.

The hounds informed Ladio.

Ladio rescued Séffer, but all the treasures and stolen money except for the accounts were lost.

Saifeier has already given away all her money to help the poor.

Séfair chose only the wealthiest people, and the victims of the theft had no intention of pursuing the matter further over such a small amount of treasure. However, Ladio paid out of his own pocket to cover the compensation for Séfair.

And we plan to deepen ideological education.

Having a kind heart is not a bad thing, but there are many ways to do good.

After a brief meeting with Sunday, Sand Gold began preparations for his grand farewell.

During the meeting, it was quite clear that the head of the Oak family was anxious.

It's not surprising. If someone could remain calm and unperturbed on a Sunday with so much to do, that would be strange and suspicious.

The gold dust, which brought in intact goldstone, caused quite a stir.

However, whether the gold dust is intact or not doesn't seem to make much difference, since gold dust is associated with the underworld.

An incomplete piece of aventurine is cut in one stroke, and a complete piece of aventurine is also cut in one stroke.

It's just that this strike is faster, wider, and causes more damage.

Kroc Films has had a terrible run of bad luck.

Qiong felt a little regretful that the boss battle lacked a trash talk line—"The Builder's inferior stones are worthless."

And then, the next piece of news that came out was—the death of Sunday.

Gallagher finally came to see Sunday off.

This news was kept strictly confidential by the family.

The heads of the other major families all had truly gloomy expressions.

They had absolutely no idea what was going on, and now all the pressure was on them.

Because the dreamer has also disappeared.

Even Otto Iverfa, the most experienced and the most composed and cunning of the remaining people, could hardly keep his composure at this moment.

At this very moment, Liumeng Reef is bustling with activity.

After assessing the time, Lin Yi decided to depart from "Shenxiao Space City".

The embryo of philosophy, the revival of order, the clash between exploration and order.

Although Lin Yi had no intention of interfering with its development, how could he not stand by and watch?

Before going to "Pinocconi", I casually asked in the genius's small group if anyone wanted to go together.

It didn't go into too much detail, but it roughly mentioned that there might be a clash between exploration and order, and the birth of a philosophical concept.

He was too busy to do anything else and just wanted to be a freeloader so that Lin Yi could share in the spoils later.

Okay then, go by yourself.

"Ruan o Mei": Let's go together, darling~

Lin Yi: ?

Lin Yi: Why did you change your mind?

"Ruan o Mei": Just now, among the experimental equipment and precision instruments deployed on Gaia.

"Ruan o Mei": Instruments used in research on memory and memory have shown very subtle observational biases.

"Ruan o Mei": After verification, it was found that the source of the discrepancy was Gaia itself.

"Ruan o Mei": At the same time, many replication experiments on Gaia showed better-than-expected signs of change.

"Ruan o Mei": I asked Abyss for help in the investigation.

"Ruan o Mei": A series of special informational disturbances, which are neither material nor energy, appeared on Gaia.

Chapter 388 The Boss Battle is Approaching

"Ruan o Mei": Abis has transformed and captured the data from a microscopic perspective.

"Ruan o Mei": I conducted preliminary research with the Abyss and came to some conclusions. It is a special kind of ether.

"Ruan o Mei": It presents a situation that is opposed to "nothingness" and has certain similarities with memory.

"Ruan o Mei": And this special ether seems to be able to become part of Gaia.

"Ruan o Mei": Perhaps we can try to find the cause of this informational quality. Maybe... a large amount of this ether can allow Gaia to complete another leap.

"Lin Yi": Does this sound like an "Akasha record"?

"Ruan o Mei": If it is truly an objective manifestation of the "Akasha Record", then we should find it even more, shouldn't we?

This was something Lin Yi hadn't expected. What could "Pinocconi" possibly have?

Gaia went there for a while and had some unexpected results?

Lin Yi: Are you going to Abyss?

"Ruan o Mei": Chat screenshot

In the picture, Ruan Mei also asked Abyss, and Abyss once again expressed his willingness to get it for free.

The "meta-domain" is undergoing a transformation, and some research on "nothingness" needs to be conducted.

He also had to help Lin Yi monitor abnormal spatial readings across the entire universe from time to time.

Lin Yi has been trying to trace back to the time and space to which Qiong belongs, and trying to reproduce the past interactions, often requiring the Abyss to help monitor.

However, it never succeeded even once.

Abyss is really busy.

Ruan Mei frowned slightly: "You mean... Gaia is dead?"

Outside Gaia's room, a group of people had gathered.

This was a rare occasion for Lin Yi to visit through official channels instead of relying on the "Phase Walker" to get in on his own.

But it gave the Pinocchio family quite a fright.

Lin Yi + Ruan o Mei.

This combination is so confusing that it's hard to imagine a family that's completely clueless and bewildered.

Ladio, who knew a little about the situation, was shocked and suspected something bad had happened. Had Gaia really been in trouble?
