00:00I've already confirmed that Ajita played no part in what happened today, which means
00:10only one shoe was active at the time of the incident.
00:17The person you're talking about is Donigue Lantern.
00:24It's not possible.
00:25Mr. Baiji has just explained to me that Donigue doesn't have enough power to upset Langqiu.
00:32Master, what did he mean?
00:38Nothing in particular.
00:41And he doesn't mind if I bring you to justice here and now after discovering your crime.
00:46Lantern, Lantern, don't do this. I'm innocent.
00:52If you want to go to war with the third planet, we're happy to oblige.
00:59Hey, Krali, are you sure you're not provoking her?
01:08War doesn't waste time. Show me what you got.
01:13You have my permission to prove your innocence in combat.
01:21But...
01:23But?
01:24You couldn't permit anything here.
01:28Using gunfire as an opener seemed a tad crude.
01:32Here, guests, you all seem rather impatient.
01:44Long time no see, Lantern.
01:46Haven't I told you before? Don't shoot while others are sleeping.
01:50It wasn't I who awakened you.
01:52Who knows? Either way, I had my reasons.
01:55You're in no position to call the shots here, Lantern.
01:58You're not the owner of this place.
02:00To the heart of pleasure, all of them are my servants.
02:03No one is allowed to fight here, and this rule also applies to you.
02:07We have no need for conflict in a party.
02:10Would you kindly keep that in mind?
02:13Sorry for barging in your territory.
02:17I will leave this place at once.
02:19As for them, I can still kill them as soon as they leave the corridor.
02:25Lantern, what?
02:28I've already confirmed it.
02:30Among the Seven Shrews, only you remain under suspicion.
02:33If you deny the guilt, then they are the only ones who could've caused the anomaly.
02:38So I will not take back what I said.
02:41You'll either die at my hands or stay here forever as the Zima's servants.
02:45That'd be fine by me.
02:48Goodbye.
02:50Lantern swiftly left the banquet hall under everyone's gaze.
02:57She said that among the Seven Shrews, only Don't Care remained suspicious.
03:02Setting aside Onigiri, she confirmed the situation with Majita during her absence.
03:08And where did Perception go?
03:10It appears Lantern still enjoys making threats.
03:13How tasteless of her.
03:15Well, there's no need for you to take it seriously. It's just her habit.
03:19I can see that.
03:21Then...
03:23Where are my manners?
03:25I am the mistress here, the Zima of the Nutrisku family.
03:29I believe you don't need any further introduction.
03:32No need. You and I go way back.
03:35We've awakened you to resolve the shadow.
03:39No need for all of that.
03:41Shrews aren't completely ignorant of the happenings in the world during their sleep.
03:45Besides, you aren't the ones who awakened me.
03:49Well, the mechanisms in the corridor are all connected to my mind.
03:53Your journey through it was a process in which you gradually accepted my thoughts, my motives, my ways, my styles.
04:00Your minds are gradually imprinted with my idea until you're finally here to be interviewed by me.
04:08Are you suggesting that, by reaching here, we're already under your domination?
04:14As it should be, but I didn't anticipate that you'd be able to skip some stages because of Lantern.
04:20In order to become a member of the nobility, it is enough to simply know about the workings of the upper society.
04:27However, nobles must do as they please.
04:31Even though you failed to become my servant, I still decide to shelter you as I please.
04:36Alright then, I have no desire to waste all my precious waking hours on you.
04:41Don't you have tasks to complete? I suggest you get on with them.
04:46It's unfortunate to be targeted by Ms. Lantern.
04:50She's even more insensitive to others' feelings than I am, but it could also be a good opportunity to get close to her.
04:59If you really have nothing to do, feel free to hang around here.
05:03I'm afraid it might not be so easy for you to get in next time.
05:07Never mind, we won't disturb you unless we have something important to discuss.
05:12What comes next? We'll come visit you again after I talk with my master.
05:18Let's go, it's time to wake up the next troop.
05:23The troop of gadgets, Mrs. Ajita, who's also the true form of perception.
05:33She's not here.
06:00Great, Lantern isn't here.
06:03I was afraid she'd be waiting for us at the entrance, catching us off guard.
06:08Seems like she believed we'd at least rest a while in the corridor.
06:12Yeah, that assumption would be right under normal circumstances.
06:15But considering what's happening now, we'll have to take risks for the sake of Lantern's future.
06:24Let's quickly wake up Gadget while Lantern hasn't noticed our whereabouts.
06:28With our perception around, it should be easy.
06:31Gadget? Oh, I mean Ajita.
06:38Speaking of which, where's our perception? And that dog?
06:44Ah, found it.
07:02Hey, what are you doing here?
07:08Donigri let out a scream of anguish as someone grabbed it by the neck.
07:16You!
07:21How did you get out?
07:24You're disappointed that Lantern didn't gun us down?
07:29Of course not. I'm just thrilled to see you again. I'm so happy. So...
07:37Wait a sec, perception isn't here anyway, so there's no need for me to treat you so nicely.
07:45It's none of your business whether I'm disappointed or not.
07:49It's none of your business whether I'm disappointed or not.
07:55Our perception's not here? What do you mean?
08:00How could an artifact run off on her own?
08:04Listen to yourself. Stop shaking me. You're shaking my brains out.
08:10Lantern took her away after you entered the masquerade corridor.
08:18Donigri told everyone what happened before.
08:24I see. So that's why Lantern said Ajita wasn't guilty. It's because they had met during the time we were away.
08:35But how did Lantern become so sure of it over such a short time?
08:42Well...
08:43Never mind. We'll get nowhere by imagining things. Once we have woken up Ajita, we should find out why.
08:53Yeah, you're right. Let's start right away. Of course, we've got to bring this one along.
09:03Where are you going, Donigri?
09:06Where are you going, Donigri?
09:17As the girls were talking, Donigri took a few steps back as if unintentionally.
09:23The mention of his name at the moment induced a shudder within it.
09:27Uh, the scenery is better here.
09:33In that case, would you like to go a bit further? Perhaps right over there in the midst of the monsters?
09:41I'm telling you, the scenery there is simply marvelous.
09:48Rest assured, from this moment onward, I shall be your most loyal follower.
09:53From this moment onward, I shall be your most loyal follower, standing by your side at all times.
10:02So, where are we going?
10:06Alright, let's go.
10:16I don't see any building here.
10:18If the lemur lives up in the air, then maybe this Ajita lives underground?
10:26Not really. She's cast an illusion spell in this area.
10:30Ajita collects rare items and extends the knowledge of magical artifacts.
10:35Many techniques nearly lost in time. Her split, the artifact perception, is one of them.
10:42If only art perception were here.
10:49Forget it. Donigue, you have to sniff around.
10:57Oh, wait, what?
11:00Don't wander me around as if I'm a puppy. Besides, I don't have a dog's nose.
11:05I don't have a dog's nose.
11:07Ajita handled her power as if she were to conceal her place.
11:12I'm sure you can sense that in one of the Ten Faces of Misery.
11:16Even if I can, it would be my call to help you or not.
11:20If you had lantern kidnap and perception, we wouldn't be running around.
11:27We haven't punished you for that yet. Should we do it now?
11:35Let's do it.
11:51It's here.
11:57Good job, you're quick.
12:00Sure.
12:05Is this some kind of innate talent?
12:08Ew.
12:16Ajita has Tala and Samantha. Let me see.
12:24See beyond the dark. Peer through the flaw. Destroy.
12:33Yeah, that's it.
12:36Ajita should be sleeping beyond this magic circle, but you must be careful once you go in.
12:42I've never been down there before, so I have no idea what it looks like.
12:46What does it look like?
12:56Is this the sea of data connected to Langqiu?
13:00If Ajita is sleeping in a place like this, then she...
13:07What's wrong, Song Que?
13:17In front of the group lays a corpse. Some people would refer to death as eternal slumber.
13:27But dead bodies, once human but now truly devoid of life, always exude an aura of annihilation, emitting a horror that sends shivers down one's spine.
13:40The situation was the same here. Even though the body bore the countenance of a beautiful lady, as depicted by Song Que.
13:53Yeah.
14:05Anjali, I must be dreaming, right? Or why would I see?
14:15Ajita... Ajita's not breathing.
14:20No vital signs detected.
14:24Judging by the fluctuations in the sea of quanta, she's been like this for quite some time.
14:34Clearly, you're not dreaming. Ajita here is truly dead.
14:46So that's the reason why Lantern said Ajita was clear of suspicion.
14:54I've been waiting for you.
14:56Perception, why are you...
14:58This is what we saw when Lantern came here. Then she said she needed to do something and left alone, leaving me here watching over the body by myself.
15:10Wait, clearly this said Ajita died a long time ago.
15:18If this was a murder, then how?
15:23Strange.
15:27Why am I... again?
15:31Entropy, are you alright?
15:35Something's off. We must go.
15:53That's...
15:59Oh no!
16:01What's wrong, Song Que?
16:04What am I to do? Ajita's dead. We won't be able to wake up all the Seven Shoes now. It's terrible.
16:11What should I do? What... It's really so terrible if we can't get all of them.
16:16Of course. What we're facing now only happened once a hundred years ago.
16:21Master said back then that this calamity could only be subdued by the combining power of the Seven.
16:28Combined? I'm sure you didn't make much of a contribution at that time.
16:32But that just shows how awesome Master and Ajita were. Think about it.
16:36And Perception is very capable, and she's only a split of Ajita.
16:40Oh no, why does it have to be Ajita?
16:47Song Que, even though we don't have enough power from the Seven Shoes right now,
16:52we still have Axia, Chen Xue and the others as backup. We can work this out together.
16:57So why don't we calm down and analyze the situation first?
17:02Okay.
17:08Yeah, now's not the time to panic. Whatever happens, we still have my master.
17:15Then should we go wake up your master?
17:19No, that won't do. We can't just do it casually.
17:23Yeah, if it's really a huge calamity, I'm sure he'll just wake up by himself.
17:30One of the Seven Shoes sounds dead, and the shadows are getting out of control.
17:34These happenings have a great impact in both Langquan and Axia.
17:37Just to be safe, we should go back to Axia first and discuss what to do next.
17:45Yeah.
17:48You have a point.
17:53Let's go.
17:58Soon after, just as Song Que faced her death,
18:02her companions from Axia would recall what just happened and what she had said and done.
18:09Before this, the wheels of fate had already begun their merciless rotation.
18:19The chains restraining the man had all been shattered.
18:25Because of that, the gigantic shadow pressed closer towards him.
18:30It was as if it was not him who was freed,
18:34but the clutter of shadow at the other end of the chain.
18:44Or maybe that's exactly how it was.
18:49The time has still arrived.
18:53It's time to face my own fate.
18:58If the whole world is a cage, then there's no escape for a bird.
19:07Join me in the cage, my friend.
19:17What I'm meeting here may not be coincidental.
19:21Like them, are you here to kill me?
19:28Speaking of which, this might seem like a strange question out of the blue.
19:35But do you believe in prophecies?
19:43It's nothing. It just occurred to me that there is a saying,
19:47you never know God's plan.
19:51If you don't analyze it properly,
19:54then even the most obvious truth cannot be understood.
19:58Such is the limitation of prophesying.
20:05As for prophecies, while they may offer glimpses of the future,
20:09they inherently rely on a predetermined destiny.
20:14Isn't it necessarily bad if everything is predetermined?
20:18Well, if the threats of fate could lead to a better result,
20:22then I believe many would voluntarily become a puppet of the gods.
20:29Yeah, yeah, dream-seeking is really a desperate and pointless move.
20:35What are you trying to say?
20:37Now there's still no time crystal belongs to any of these.
20:41Yeah, and the Eye of Bodhi also belongs to you.
20:45Yeah, and the Eye of Bodhi are far from omnipotent and omniscient.
20:53The two individuals who transcended time in Luo Xing spoke heavily to one another.
20:58They observed that the world rose and fell,
21:01and also witnessed dream-seekers' temporary return.
21:06What kind of dream does ego and the world belong to?
21:10And what kind of dream does the future belong to?
21:13Perhaps they knew the answer.
21:15But they also understood that this was irrelevant to their dream-seeking journey.
21:26Time is always divided into countless futures.
21:29In their eyes, as the representatives of time,
21:33when they were exiled from the world one day,
21:36dream-seeker would ironically be able to come up with a conclusion.
21:41No matter where she was,
21:43the process and results of one's best effort was that person's ego, world, and future.
21:53But that does remind me of a story.
21:59In the story, a wise man said,
22:02there were no directions in the world.
22:05People made choices according to their ideas,
22:08which determined the direction of the world.
22:12Meanwhile, another wise man retorted,
22:16and therein lies the conflict of this world.
22:19It was not born of people's ideas,
22:22nor will it perish for the same reason.
22:30Therefore, in order to change the world,
22:33what matters is not people's ideas,
22:36but their means of living.
22:42So, how did the story end?
22:49Have you never lived such a story?
22:59The answer to your question can also be the answer to the story.
23:12But I don't mind having you add a little change.
23:31Don't look at me like that.
23:32I didn't relax my vigilance.
23:34Let's run!
23:36Let's go!
23:38Let's run!
23:57What's the next adventure?
24:05Hey!
24:24Don't look at me like that.
24:25I didn't relax my vigilance.
24:29Let's run!
24:36Let's run!
24:49The scenery is good.
24:51Let's go!
25:06Senior!
25:20Everyone, follow me!
25:33Senior!
25:35Ahakola.
25:36As the best-known beverage in Auxia,
25:38Ahakola is an absolute legend.
25:41How it was first made is almost common knowledge nowadays.
25:44Ahakola's formula is said to originate in the Sea of Data Research Institute.
25:51A researcher was analyzing the properties of source matter 7X,
25:54an extremely active source matter that had been newly discovered.
25:58When she accidentally mixed it with her rhinitis drops,
26:04convinced 7X was safe and not one to waste money,
26:08she decided to continue taking the medicine.
26:10She immediately noticed the sweet flavor and wonderful smell.
26:15And so, a legend was born.
26:19It was off to the races after that.
26:21The researcher, sensing a business opportunity,
26:24quit her job and opened a factory to mass-produce the drink and a company to sell it.
26:30And, on the advice of a co-worker,
26:32she carbonated the drink to make it more refreshing and tasty.
26:36She went on to name the drink AHA Soda
26:39because the first time she tasted it, she couldn't help but shout AHA!
26:43AHA Soda was a huge success the moment it hit the shelves.
26:48But, with many success stories come setbacks,
26:52and AHA Soda was soon to face its own set of hurdles.
26:57The same co-worker who suggested she carbonate the drink left to start a different company.
27:03And so, AHA Soda had its first major competitor, HAHA Soda.
27:08Needless to say, the ingredients were the same and the flavors were nearly identical.
27:15And an ugly business battle ensued.
27:18Without going into the nitty-gritty,
27:21the war ended, dividing the market in two,
27:25with diehard fans on each side claiming the other soda of choice tasted no different from toilet cleaner.
27:34What ended it all was a sudden capital injection by a mystery group from within AHA Soda.
27:42This gave the company a hard edge in marketing and the funds to finance an incredible business strategy.
27:49First, they changed their name from AHA Soda to AHA Cola.
27:54Cola had a mysterious fun ring to it,
27:58and eventually became the generic term for that tiny drink,
28:02making HAHA Soda look like a two-bit imitation.
28:06Afterwards, AHA Cola's ass took a new direction.
28:10Shortly after HAHA Soda released the famous commercial
28:14of a child stepping on a can of AHA to reach a can of HA in the refrigerator.
28:19AHA responded with a near-identical ad, but with the soda switched.
28:24Unlike HAHA Soda's commercial,
28:27the child didn't just leave after finishing the cola,
28:30but cleaned up the soda on the floor and put it back in the fridge.
28:35This helped promote AHA Cola's goodwill and seize most of HAHA Soda's market share,
28:41destroying the competition.
28:43Rumor has it that the group that mysteriously funded AHA Cola's rise
28:47was AXIA's largest telecommunications company, Octair Wireless.
28:52But no one knows for sure.
