Acheron did not immediately answer his question, but remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, gazing into the distance with deep eyes.

"The golden beautiful dream is about to become restless," she murmured in a voice like sleep-talking. "In the long night ahead, you will likely encounter many setbacks, witness numerous tragedies, until... only black and white remain in your sight."

"But please believe, in that black and white world there will be a fleeting point of red. When you make your choice, it will surely appear again..."

The scene quickly switched to Acheron's long sword, flickering with an eerie red light. It emitted an aura that made one's heart palpitate. "And you must carefully ponder its meaning," Acheron said softly, her figure slowly gliding past Stella. Her fingertips lightly flicked, and a sudden breeze swept through, gently brushing Stella's hair. Stella instinctively turned her head following Acheron's movement, eyes fixed intently on her gradually receding figure.

At that moment, a drop of bright red blood tear slid from the corner of Acheron's eye, and her originally purple hair turned gray-white. "Then, return to the waking world."

Stella suddenly felt an inexplicable unease, but before she could think further, it was as if an invisible force violently struck her abdomen. Intense pain instantly assailed her, accompanied by her pupils dilating. She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. At the same time, her chest suddenly burst open, blood spraying out like a fountain, splattering across the narrow corridor, forming a horrifying tableau.

[March 7th: Stella!]

[Welt: Don't panic, Stella, Little March. This is just a dream.]

[Stella: I've been stabbed!]

"We will all find the answer there."

Acheron's words seemed to still echo in the air, while Stella's eyes gradually lost their vitality, becoming hollow and lifeless. Her body fell backward uncontrollably.

In the next instant, the scene shifted. Stella, who had been sleeping soundly on the sofa, suddenly awoke with a start. She was gasping for breath, her face filled with terror, tears pouring out like a broken dam.

Pom approached and asked with concern, "Passenger, what's wrong? W-why are you suddenly crying?"

Stella just stared at the tears on her hands, muttering to herself, "I... I don't know... Maybe I dreamed of an old acquaintance..."

[March 7th: She's lost her memory.]

[Himeko: Miss Acheron mentioned earlier that one would lose their memory after waking from the dream, but what I'm more curious about now is who she really is, and why she was waiting for you in the dream in advance, guiding you out.]

Pom then said in surprise, "It, it sounds like you had a nightmare pom! To encounter such a thing just as we arrive in the Astraean System... You must be very careful, it seems you have poor resistance to mnemonic essence."

"Mmm... don't worry about it, dreams and reality are opposites. While you were asleep, the train has already arrived at Penacony..."

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"The former frontier prison has now become this luxurious hotel. Although I, the conductor, am also very curious about what Penacony looks like now, I can't disembark after all... You'll have to enjoy it on my behalf pom."

Pom said with a serious expression: "Pack up your luggage, you can disembark at any time pom. Remember to go to the back to find passenger March 7th, she's waiting to set off with you."

Stella covered her head with her hands, her body swaying slightly as she struggled to stand up from her seat, then slowly walked towards the rear of the carriage. When she reached the end of the car, she found that March 7th had already come out of her room with a bulging bag.

"Stella, you're awake? How are your preparations? Uncle Yang and Himeko have already disembarked, I'm waiting here to set off with you."

"Mm, I'm ready," Stella nodded lightly in response, "Let's go meet up with them now."

March 7th couldn't contain her excitement and shouted, "Penacony, 'The Star of the Grand Gathering', the biggest and most luxurious playground in the universe, here we come!"

The two left the train, and after a dozen Family inspections, they arrived at the counter. The scene shifted to the front desk part from the beginning, but this section was skipped after showing only a small portion.

[Fu Xuan: The plot has connected. It seems this viewing content is presented from Stella's perspective?]

[Herta: I'm becoming more and more interested in you. When will you come to the space station next time?]

In the scene, the front desk staff smiled and gently handed a small booklet to Stella, saying kindly:

"This is your dream passport, please keep it safe. For specific instructions on how to use it, you can carefully read the relevant explanations inside the passport, which will provide you with detailed and complete guidance. We wish every guest a pleasant and wonderful time in Penacony, fully immersed in sweet dreams. If you have any other questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at any time."

After saying this, the staff member thoughtfully pointed to the elevator location not far away.

Hearing this, March 7th was overjoyed. She excitedly cheered, "Fantastic! Let's set off right away!" Before she even finished speaking, March 7th had already eagerly sprinted towards the elevators.

Seeing this, Himeko and Welt smiled and shook their heads, then quickly followed. At this moment, Stella slowly lowered her head, turning her gaze to the passport in her hand, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and anticipation.

Turning the page further, there was a section on Dream Entry Instructions.

[[Dream Entry Instructions]]

[2. Maintain a calm state of mind. Intense emotional fluctuations may lead to unexpected dream entry sensations (such as falling, weightlessness, pain, etc.).]

[3. Enter the dream face-up. Do not attempt to enter the dream in a lying, kneeling, or other unconventional posture to avoid the risk of drowning.]
