Chapter 402 Tsigania
Chapter 402 Tsigania
Interstellar Peace Broadcast: "...Recently, Interstellar Peace Corporation officially announced—"
Interstellar Peace Broadcast: "Under the guidance of the Department of Market Development, Tsigania-4, in accordance with the Interstellar Peace Charter, has established an independent and autonomous United Emirates and obtained a legitimate seat at the Interstellar Peace Conference—"
Interstellar Peace Broadcast: "The establishment of the United Arab Emirates is of great historical significance to Tsigania: it marks the end of the planet's long and bloody history, and the horrific 'Katika-Evikin extermination case' will become a distant memory—"
Interstellar Peace Broadcast: "Tsigania-4 is located in the unclaimed region at the intersection of the Transnistria-Prussian-Danube star system. The planet's surface climate is known for its extreme harshness, and it constantly faces the threat of impacts from small celestial bodies—"
Interstellar Peace Broadcast: "Therefore, the intelligent races that have settled on this planet are now few and far between. They have diversified into several clans, mostly nomadic, struggling to survive in the arid and rain-scarce deserts, and have developed folk beliefs completely independent of the star god system..."
......................
"Tsigania, Tsigania. The parched eye of the storm, a land forsaken by the gods..."
"There are stones but no water, thunder but no rain, blood but no tears. You hammer us with falling stars, temper us with wind and thunder, and chew us with cracked earth..."
“You bestowed upon us the name of honey, Evikin, yet you cast us beneath the bitterness of Khotika. Three-eyed Earth Mother, Fingo-Björn, if you can hear me, please open your eyes and look upon this child…”
"When you took his father away, my child was still sleeping soundly in the amniotic fluid. And now, wherever my husband is, I will soon be going..."
"I do not ask for a peaceful departure, but only that you tell me, does the child sleeping soundly in his swaddling clothes dream of his mother's heartbeat, of the sound of rain falling on the earth? Please tell me, is life just a fleeting dream..."
"Otherwise, why would this child be born to face death...?"
"Mom...! Mom...!"
"Mom—it's raining! It's raining!"
"Rain...? Rain..."
"It's raining! It's true! Those strangers didn't lie to us, they really did bring rain... Mom, we can leave here... We can go home...!"
“Going home… Ah… Earth Mother Goddess with the Three Eyes, it’s you. Can you hear me? Thank you… Thank you…”
“Baby, listen... this is the sound of rain. On the day you were born, the heavens also sent down rain, a gift from Mother Goddess.”
“You are a lucky child, a blessed child… just like your name, a gift from Him to Evgeny… my child…”
"May the Mother Goddess close her eyes thrice for you..."
"May your blood forever beat..."
"Always face the journey with equanimity..."
"The trick will never be exposed."
"Welcome to this sorrowful world, son blessed by Mother Goddess Kakawasha."
"Welcome to Nightmare..."
A scarlet face appeared in his dream, and Sand Gold was jolted awake.
Coming to his senses, Sand Gold covered his forehead and found that his hair was already soaked with sweat.
"You're awake, gambler."
"Why does it look like it was pulled out of the water?"
Sand Gold shook his head and stood up from the sofa.
He pretended to be fine, but his eyes were somewhat unfocused, and he seemed a little absent-minded.
"It's nothing, I probably just drank too much Solomon's... I didn't expect you to come back so quickly. So... did you find anything?"
Ladio noticed the anomaly in the gold dust, but instead of dismantling it, he continued the conversation.
Just as you guessed: nobody outside knew the robin had been killed, there wasn't even a rumor.
"The TV is still broadcasting her ceremony rehearsal—probably a stand-in—people are dreaming."
Sand Gold scoffed. "Of course. Who could have imagined that death would truly befall the very dream our family had created, especially since the victim was the leading lady of the 'Harmonious Music Festival'..."
"To be honest, I didn't believe it before, and even tried it myself a few times—until I discovered that I really couldn't die. Whenever there's danger, I'm forcibly awakened by the 'Dream Pool,' as if I'd just had a nightmare."
"That's why I'm convinced there's a bigger secret behind this."
"Then you should have heard of that memory realm meme, 'What Faces Death,' and the bizarrely appearing dream virus—when I went to the Oak family to pull some strings for you, they were in a complete mess."
"Besides the robin, there was another one who died."
"I don't know the specifics, I only know he was an illegal immigrant."
Sand Gold frowned: "Two murders?! Damn Memory Maker, I knew she was hiding information..."
“You just haven’t noticed it yet.” Ladio closed the book.
"But I must say, the murder case is a great breakthrough. We can accuse the family of dereliction of duty and let the company use this as a pretext to get involved." Sand Gold's lips curled up slightly. Accusations and framing are common occurrences in the company.
“Are you sure? The family is much more powerful than you and I imagine. They’ve even prepared a robin’s double… I think these two cases will definitely be suppressed,” Ladio retorted.
"Sigh, who can argue with that?" Sand Gold placed his hands behind his head, seemingly deep in thought.
"What should I do? Let me think... This is a rare opportunity, and I can't afford to miss it. I have to be very careful..."
Ladio said with a hint of sarcasm, "Impressive, gambler. You're out of options again so quickly?"
“There are plenty of chips, but we have to be selective. The most straightforward one… has to be the robin. Remember, the Masked Fool told me to find a mute to be my friend.” A strange smile appeared on Sand Gold’s face.
