Startled, Bochang, already feeling guilty like a thief caught red-handed, hastily made his escape.
"What just happened...? Even my soul projection was detected? March 7th... truly stands out."
Taking deep breaths to compose himself, Bochang pondered, "But... why would March 7th be in Stelle's room? Did she invite him?"
Unable to figure it out, the black-haired youth decided not to waste time on speculation.
Following the information from his Removal memories, he headed towards Serval's residence.
Based on conversations with passersby earlier that day, Bochang knew Serval lived close to the machine shop—this proximity explained why she could open up so early each morning.
In his soul form, movement felt entirely different compared to using his physical body. With a slight push, Bochang effortlessly glided over vast distances. A trip that usually took nearly an hour now only consumed about ten minutes.
With each gentle movement, Bochang could glide over considerable distances.
A journey that would normally take dozens of minutes...
Bochang completed it in just ten minutes or so.
After searching along the street for about fifteen minutes, Bochang finally found Serval... and at this moment, she was already asleep.
The blonde big sister lay on her back, wearing pink pajamas adorned with small bears.
Casually scratching her chest without any regard for decorum, she inadvertently lifted the blanket slightly, causing her ample bosom to sway gently—a truly captivating sight.
Bochang couldn't help but notice her curvaceous figure, instinctively comparing it to March 7th's.
Indeed... the pink-haired girl seemed somewhat lacking in comparison.
"Don't get distracted... It's more important to quickly ask where Stellaron is."
Upon spotting the glowing dot representing Serval's Dreamscape, Bochang dove right in.
Within Serval's Dreamscape... she was performing an outdoor rock concert to a massive sea of spectators.
"This is one of the songs we rehearsed earlier... Even in her dreams, Serval can't stop playing gigs..." Standing amidst the audience, Bochang shook his head privately as he scanned the stage, noticing only three figures present: Serval, Pela, and Lynx.
At Bochang's position, the bass guitar seemed to play itself.
"Wow, impressive."
Witnessing this scene, Bochang couldn't help but feel speechless. After observing for a moment from below, he decided to alter the Dreamscape.
If Serval continued performing indefinitely, Bochang would have no chance to gather information.
So without further ado...
Without hesitation, Bochang bypassed the audience, climbed onto the stage, picked up a bass guitar, and began playing alongside Serval and the band.
Initially, the blonde big sister didn't notice his presence.
But soon...
Serval spotted Bochang, her eyes flickering with slight surprise.
Despite this, the performance continued uninterrupted.
After finishing the song,
Bochang straightforwardly asked, "Serval, where is Stellaron?"
"Why do you want to know, Bochang? Considering you're part of the band, I won't pursue it further, but... please don't ask about Stellaron's whereabouts again."
Serval's gaze turned serious.
Bochang hadn't anticipated... even within Dreamscape, Serval would firmly refuse.
[Dating Options activated.]
[Option 1: Be straightforward and concise: "Once I find and eliminate Stellaron, the rift disaster in Belobog will cease spreading. Therefore... I need to know Stellaron's location. Serval, please trust me." - Completion Reward: 100% increase in Agility.]
[Option 2: Since it's just a dream, anything can be said, sigh... Just playing around: "Serval, tell me Stellaron's location, or else believe me when I say you'll face consequences beyond your imagination." - Completion Reward: Serval's Big Booty Slap.]
[Option 3: Attempt to guide Serval; it might not be a bad choice: "I'm your husband, after all! Serval, aren't you willing to share even such a small piece of information with me?" - Completion Reward: Serval's Big Booty Slap.]
The sudden appearance of three options plunged Bochang into a brief moment of contemplation. Although he was tempted by the latter two choices,
it was clear that his only viable option was the first one.
"Can't even have freedom in dreams? This is too challenging."
"Well then, Option One it is."
The frozen Dreamscape once again became dynamic.
Bochang took a deep breath and said, (If I can locate and eliminate Stellaron, the rift disaster in Belobog will cease spreading. Therefore...I need to know Stellaron's whereabouts, Serval, please trust me.)
[Reward being granted - Congratulations! Your agility has been increased by 100%.]
(This...is what you're truly saying?) Serval's eyes widened slightly. She had previously researched Stellaron and deduced its connection to the rift phenomenon. However, before she could prove that Stellaron was the origin of the rift, she was expelled from the Architects.
Due to this, when Serval sensed Bochang and his companions probing for information about Stellaron, her curiosity was immediately piqued.
The blonde big sister was highly sensitive to anything related to Stellaron; not only was it her research focus but also a turning point in her destiny.
(Of course it's true, Serval. I'm not deceiving you.) Bochang spoke with unwavering seriousness.
Bochang's expression remained grave.
Serval's breathing grew heavier as she looked into his resolute eyes, combining this with her own research findings.
In her dream...she finally believed them.
"So it's true, Stellaron is the root cause of all these calamities... I was right, I was right!"
The stage around them began to crumble, and one by one, the audience members vanished, including Pela and Lynx, who could not escape the dissolution.
Eventually, Bochang and Serval found themselves in a pitch-black world.
Except for a faint glow emanating from their immediate vicinity,
everything else was enveloped in utter darkness.
Gazing into the abyss ahead, Serval shouted: "Cocolia! Stellaron is the source of all disasters - did you already know this long ago, which is why you expelled me from the Architects?"
As the blonde-haired woman spoke, another golden-haired figure suddenly appeared before them - it was Cocolia!
"Yes...indeed, I knew," replied the Great Guardian, seated on her chair, looking down upon them condescendingly. "But so what? Serval, this matter does not concern you." She continued loftily, "Stellaron is forbidden knowledge; knowing that should be enough for you."
An intense argument unfolded within Serval's Dreamscape.
And from that same Dreamscape...
Bochang quietly learned the coordinates of Stellaron.
At the time...
After parting on bad terms with Cocolia in her dream, Serval invited Bochang to destroy Stellaron and resolve Belobog's crisis. Nonchalantly, he asked—("Where is Stellaron located?")
Serval replied: ("Stellaron lies north of Belobog, somewhere amidst the snowfields.")
Though she had never seen it with her own eyes, during previous experiments, Serval used simulations and dispatched surveys to roughly pinpoint its location. In this Dreamscape, she decided it was time to be a hero.
And she would take Bochang along for the ride.
The black-haired youth now possessed the information he sought.
Logically speaking, he could leave at any moment.
However...
Bochang chose to indulge Serval's madness one last time. As a result, they gathered their bandmates, traversed mountains and valleys, defeated countless monsters, located Stellaron amidst the vast snowfield, and destroyed it.
Thus, Serval, Pela, Lynx, and Bochang became heroes who saved Belobog.
The citizens welcomed them wholeheartedly...
