As the tense countdown ended, the train shuddered violently and entered the jump state. The surrounding space began to warp dramatically, as if being kneaded by an invisible hand. Through the windows, one could see strange beams of light and colors intertwining, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

At this moment, Stella and those watching the video were surprised to discover that within this distorted space, some strange images kept flashing by.

Robin... Acheron... Sunday... Various figures appeared before their eyes.

[Fu Xuan: Strange... How could such images appear during a jump? At this point in time, you shouldn't know anyone from Penacony yet.]

[Herta: It might be related to the Mnemotics. Interesting, I'll research it later, but not now. I have more important things to do.]

These images switched rapidly like a movie, overwhelming the senses. Stella tried to make out every detail, but couldn't capture a complete picture.

Stella slowly opened her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar luxurious guest room. The room was neatly and lavishly furnished, with a soft bed, a desk, a sofa, bookshelves, and other furniture.

[Himeko: Is this... a room in the Dreamscape Hotel?]

[March 7th: It really is! Wasn't Stella still on the train? How did she suddenly end up in a hotel?]

[Fu Xuan: Could it be... Stella has already entered the dream world at this point?]

Stella slowly stood up from the floor, looking around. She saw a graceful, elegant purple-haired woman standing quietly in a corner of the room. Her gaze was deep and mysterious, as if it could penetrate one's soul.

The purple-haired woman parted her lips: "Another one... Follow me." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, yet carried an irresistible authority.

Stella, somewhat confused, asked, "Who are you?"

Acheron just shook her head slightly and said softly, "These questions... are meaningless. But I'll try to explain: This is the boundary between reality and the Mnemonic Sea, a... 'dreamscape'."

"At this moment, we share the same dream, appearing in each other's thoughts. This is the 'Land of Dreams'' initial greeting to us."

"Don't worry, you'll soon wake up from this dream, forgetting everything that happened here, leaving only a faint sense of melancholy."

"There's no need to mind, this kind of 'forgetting' happens every morning, it's something we're already accustomed to."

"...So, come with me, I'll take you home."

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

As she spoke, she slowly turned and walked towards the door of the room.

Stopping at the door, she turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on Stella, and said softly:

"Left, at the end of the corridor. I'll wait for you there."

With those words, she gently pushed open the door, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness beyond. Only Stella was left in the room, looking around a bit helplessly before nervously checking the entire room.

After making sure there was nothing unusual, Stella took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and followed behind her out of the room. She carefully closed the door and walked hesitantly through the long corridor.

When she finally reached the end of the corridor, standing before the closed door, the purple-haired girl appeared before her again. She gazed quietly at Stella, her eyes shimmering with a mysterious and enchanting light.

"Acheron, the Sea-Faring Ranger... That's how they refer to me. Feel free to use it."

Stella nodded silently, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the mysterious lady before her, momentarily forgetting to speak.

At this moment, Acheron gently reached out and pushed open the door in front of them. As the door slowly opened, a strange aura rushed towards them, making Stella feel dizzy.

"Open this door... and see the magnificent dream, while you still remember."

Stella took a deep breath and forcefully pushed open the door shimmering with flowing light.

In an instant, a breathtaking sight appeared before her eyes — a vast, extremely luxurious hall suddenly came into view.

Some ethereal figures stood in an orderly manner within the hall, some even standing on the walls and ceiling, defying gravity. They seemed to be talking, but there was no sound.

"This... my God," Stella exclaimed in genuine admiration.

[Sparkle: It's spectacular~ But am I the only one who feels dizzy seeing some people standing at weird gravity angles in this kind of room?]

[Qingque: Hey, I feel the same way! If you stare at it carefully, it makes you dizzy!]

"This way," Acheron urged softly, walking straight towards the wall without hesitation. Surprisingly, she walked on the wall surface as if it were level ground.

Stella's eyes widened, curiously and cautiously lifting her foot to try, and indeed successfully stepped onto it, but the sudden change in perspective made her feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

However, this strange experience was quickly replaced by inner shock — so it's really possible to do this... Stella pondered to herself.

Just as Stella was immersed in her amazement at this new ability, a thought flashed through her mind without warning: "Why not?"

Her heart suddenly jolted, and she couldn't help but think again: Can you hear what I'm thinking?

However, the response she received was still that calm "Why not?"

Filled with confusion and shock, Stella closely followed Acheron's steps, together coming to the ceiling, or more accurately, the other side of the room. Here, right in the center, a huge blue bubble was floating, surrounded by furnishings like a luxurious and comfortable lounge.

"We're almost there. Can you still walk?" Acheron asked with some concern.

Stella: "I've already climbed the wall, feeling good."

Acheron: "Very humorous. Since you have the mood to joke, I assume you're fine."

"Don't stop, don't look back, don't look down or up."

Ahead, two people who seemed to be siblings appeared to be chatting.

Stella curiously walked up to them, and as she approached the illusion, sound appeared.

Sunday's illusion said, "The stage of the 'Harmony Festival' belongs only to you, sister."

Robin's illusion said, "But if I can't sing... what meaning does the stage have?"

[Robin: I... can't sing?]

[Fan A: Miss Robin! We don't want to lose you!]

[Fan B: Miss Robin isn't dead yet! Please don't come to Penacony anymore!]

After they finished speaking, the shadows dissipated. Stella found it fascinating and walked to another set of shadows.

Dr. Ratio asked, "What makes you think you can win, you damned gambler?"

Aventurine, on the other side, just said confidently, "Three 'chips' are enough. All, or nothing at all."
