Chapter 413: 3 Questions
Chaolu Mansion.
"I'm sorry, the mansion is not accepting guests at the moment..."
Before the family guard could finish speaking, he suddenly fainted.
"Eve's mom, this...this isn't a good idea, is it?"
Seeing Eve's blank expression, yet her unwavering resolve, even the usually detached Xing couldn't help but try to dissuade her.
"I need to see someone and get an answer."
Eve responded to Star, but she didn't stop walking.
The heavy gates of the mansion were like paper in front of Eve; they flew out with a casual wave of her hand.
“Eve’s mom…”
Seeing that she couldn't dissuade him, Xing could only hurry after him.
"Intruder!"
"Where are the members of the hound family?"
"Hurry up!"
The family guards immediately sprang into action, charging toward Eve with all sorts of weapons.
Eve didn't move; she simply walked over, and the bodies of those family guards were sent flying backward.
As the goddess of dreams, Eve is omnipotent in dreams.
Waves of family guards rushed in, but in the end, they all became like Mona Lisa on the wall, except they had no smiles.
"Night Owl?"
Upon arriving at the Night Owl Hall, Eve glanced around.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the six owl statues shattered instantly, and the gate opened.
As Eve entered the room, a Sunday simulation model appeared before her eyes.
Eve didn't take a detour, but walked straight ahead. Just before she touched the sand table, the sand table automatically split in two, making way for her.
"Eve's mom!"
Xing rushed over in a hurry.
Eve was incredibly fast; she had to run at full speed to get here.
"Inside is the room of that family head."
Eve looked at the room on Sunday.
At that moment, a group of guards rushed out.
"Who is it? The head of the family has clearly stated that no guests are being received today!"
Eve ignored them and continued walking forward.
"stop!"
"We are the strongest of the hound family, hyenas."
"No one can get past us..."
Before they could finish speaking, the five of them were sent flying backwards.
Xing was completely shocked by what she saw.
This power is so strong that it has no reason whatsoever and makes no sense whatsoever.
She could clearly feel the aura of that group; they were definitely not weak.
It flew away before it could even finish a single sentence.
Just then, the door to Sunday's office opened, and a man's voice came from inside.
"It seems that Director Eve is determined to see me."
"Then I won't refuse."
Eve glanced back at Xing and said to her, "Wait for me here."
Xing didn't know what to do, so she could only nod.
After Eve went inside, the door closed.
Xing waited anxiously, worried that something unexpected might happen.
After all, it's hard to say what will happen given Eve's mother's current condition.
She had never seen Eve's mother like this before. Although Eve's mother used to be mischievous at times, she was very reliable. She had never seen her like this before.
However, Xing could clearly sense that this was not an impulsive act; it seemed as if she had already made a decision in her heart.
Xing took out her phone again, ready to ask Uncle Yang for help.
in the room.
On Sunday, he sat gracefully at the round table, his demeanor and manners were very elegant.
He was not flustered by Eve's unauthorized intrusion; on the contrary, he remained very calm.
“Please sit down,” Sunday gestured.
Eve walked toward the table, and a chair automatically pulled out, waiting for Eve to sit down.
Sunday spoke first:
"As far as I know, the Starry Sky Train has already accepted the family's commission in a formal setting, so there's probably no need for them to make a special trip here."
"I wonder why Miss Eve is in such a hurry to see me?" Sunday crossed his arms, his movements were very calm, but his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of nervousness.
After all, it can be said that in this dream world, if the dream master doesn't take action, probably no one can do anything to this Director Eve.
"Mr. Sunday, there's no need for you to say such useless things."
“You just addressed me as Director Eve.” Eve had made her point very clearly.
"So, you're representing the company now?"
"It's up to you to judge. This concerns our conversation to come, and... your life."
The moment the words left his mouth, Sunday suddenly felt a barrier appear around him.
It is invisible to anyone, unknown to anyone, but it truly exists here.
On Sunday, she could feel that her life was completely in Eve's hands, if she wanted to.
"It seems that Director Eve is planning to overturn the table," Sunday said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Do not."
“I have only three questions for you,” Eve said.
"Three questions?" Sunday was a little confused.
"First question, Mikhail, is he a watchmaker?" Eve asked directly.
Sunday paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"The second question is, who is our enemy?"
The moment Eve asked the question, her gaze locked onto the figure in the sky.
With a loud bang, the dome shattered, and the figure vanished instantly.
"Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast." Eve lowered her hand.
From the moment she entered the Oak Mansion, she sensed that she was being watched by a strange gaze, and sure enough, it was right here.
Only now on Sunday did he begin to breathe deeply, and his expression relaxed.
"I didn't expect that Director Eve had already noticed..."
“I thought you would suspect me.” A slight smile appeared on Sunday’s lips.
"From the initial brainwashing of the stars, to the dream virus and the dream dead zone, and the death of the robin, from an outsider's perspective, it's hard not to suspect that it was you."
"But in fact, you were involved in all of this, that's for sure."
"But the real person behind it all forgot, Mianmian."
Eve opened her palm, and a small, enchanting memory appeared in the center of her hand.
“This is… [death]?” Sunday recognized Mianmian.
"Indeed, this is the 'death' you are looking for, but in essence it is nothing more than a means of transportation between two dreams."
"When I saw it, it was already tainted with the aura of destruction."
"The only destructive force that Pinocone invited had already died before attending the banquet. Their invitation was replaced by a sea ranger, so there could be no aura of destruction in Pinocone."
“Unless… it’s within a family.” Eve looked at Sunday.
Sunday was silent.
You're right.
"The Great Lord of Annihilation, Star Howl."
"I don't know if you know her name."
“Star Howl?” Eve’s eyes turned cold.
Another Extinction Lord. According to the Black Tower's database, this Extinction Lord specializes in homosexuality.
I'm afraid this time it's also about destroying harmony.
“That’s right.” Sunday nodded. “Xingxiao is the one who started all of this.”
"Whether it's the [death] tainted with the aura of destruction or the dream virus, it's all her doing."
"The purpose is to destroy Tongxie during the Harmony Festival."
Eve sat quietly, deep in thought.
After a long pause, Eve spoke again: "The third question is, what is your view on life?"
“Life?” Sunday looked up, his eyes filled with melancholy.
"Life is fragile, so fragile that it can vanish in the blink of an eye."
"Under the company's firepower, life on a planet cannot even last for one system."
"At the same time, life is also very strong, strong enough to traverse the universe and conquer the Milky Way."
"Therefore, life also has a price, for the strong and the weak."
"The strong bully the weak, and the weak live a life of humility."
"Life always thinks it is destined to achieve some kind of value, while those who are worthless are degraded to the weak. However, value is not created by life out of thin air."
"To realize so-called value, one must plunder from others."
"In this way, the weak are exploited and oppressed, but ironically, people do not think it is wrong, because they always regard that vague self-worth as their guiding principle."
"Therefore, I believe that life as it is has no value, and such a world has no meaning."
“Miss Eve, I hope you are satisfied with my answer.” Sunday finished speaking.
Eve fell silent again.
"Life has no value, and the world has no meaning..." Eve silently repeated the sentence, her eyes gradually losing focus.
"Thanks......"
Eve stood up and slowly walked out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Sunday pressed.
"Searching for my meaning."
Eve didn't turn around; she walked straight out of the office.
“Eve’s mom…”
When Xing saw Eve come out, she immediately wanted to go up to her, but Eve didn't seem to notice her.
"If life has no value, then the world has no meaning..."
Eve stretched out her hand and looked at the green lines on her palm. After flashing a few times, they went out completely.
Eve, the Throne of Life, has lost the power of Life.
Eve clenched her fists, the shadow of nihilism within her deepening.
At this moment, an eerie rainbow light suddenly emanated from the sky above Chaolu Mansion. The light gradually converged, enveloping the entire mansion in a dreamlike world of light and shadow.
Eve suddenly raised her head, a glint of light flashing in her unfocused eyes.
She pressed her lips together tightly, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, a strong sense of danger rising within her.
"Everyone out, now!" Her voice was calm and firm, carrying an unquestionable authority.
The power of dreams was activated instantly with her words. While Xing and Sunday were still immersed in the sudden change, their bodies had already involuntarily left the ground and were flying rapidly out of the mansion.
At the same time, the guards who had been knocked into the wall by Eve were also pulled out as if by an invisible giant hand. One by one, they followed Xing and Sunday, staggering out of the gate of Chaolu Mansion and crashing outside the mansion.
"Wait, Eve's mom!"
Xing got up from the ground and immediately looked up at the Chaolu Mansion, which was about to be completely enveloped by the rainbow light.
Her eyes were full of worry and confusion, and her voice carried a hint of urgency, "Why didn't you come out with me?"
Eve stood in the center of the mansion, the iridescent light reflecting on her face, adding a touch of sanctity to her appearance.
She turned back and looked at Xing deeply, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, before leaving only one sentence: "Wait for me."
The moment the words fell, the rainbow light completely locked onto the entire Chaolu Mansion and gradually spread outwards.
“That’s…the dream virus…” Sunday looked at the rainbow light enveloping the mansion and finally realized something.
Sure enough, Xingxiao couldn't hold back any longer and was about to make a move.
Instantly, the surrounding crowd panicked due to the sudden turn of events.
They didn't know what had happened, but they did know that if even the Oak family patriarch was in such a sorry state on Sunday, then danger was imminent.
Sunday was moved; he had just formed an idea when a voice suddenly rang in his mind.
Don't do anything you shouldn't do; I'll always be here.
The next second, the entire Chaolu Mansion, shrouded in rainbow light, vanished instantly.
On Sunday, I felt a sudden tightness in my chest and clenched my fists.
"Control the crowd first, guards."
The family's guards arrived quickly and immediately restored order to the scene.
Xing walked up to Sunday, looking somewhat bewildered.
"What do you think Eve's mom wants to do?"
Xing didn't understand. There was clearly an opportunity for everyone to come out together, so why did Eve's mom stay there by herself?
It was something so dangerous, something we could have solved together, so why...?
On Sunday, he glanced at the stars and fell silent.
"There are always some answers that people need to find for themselves."
After saying that, he left the scene on Sunday, his eyes filled with danger.
Inside the Morning Dew Mansion.
The mansion was now completely covered by the dream virus. The walls and the ground were all covered by rainbow light, making it impossible to discern any shape.
Eve stood in the center of the hall, looking up at the dome, the gloom in her eyes still lingering.
"I didn't expect you to be able to resist the erosion of the dream virus. Just as Huanlong said."
"Dangerous person."
A mass of writhing, iridescent matter rose from the ground, gradually coalescing into a human form, from which the Great Monarch of Annihilation, Xingxiao, emerged.
She looked at Eve with a wary but slightly contemptuous gaze.
"You are Xingxiao?" Eve asked calmly.
"As the first person to notice my existence, I should commend you, but unfortunately, there should be no existence under destruction."
Xingxiao raised his hand, and rainbow-colored spikes condensed on the surrounding walls, aimed at Eve.
"Then let's give it a try."
Eve raised her hand in the same way, and the power of the dream instantly erupted, causing the entire dream space to be upside down and distorted.
