Chapter 397 The Purpose of Placer Gold
Chapter 397 The Purpose of Placer Gold
“Director Eve, let’s discuss the rest in the real world.”
"The image of the robin here is merely a projection of reality. If you want to know more, I suggest you go to her room."
"Then I will wait for you in the robin's room."
After finishing his speech, Sand Gold bowed slightly and politely withdrew.
Eve was left alone by the Dream Pool.
Eve frowned slightly as she looked at the robin in front of her.
From the dream she had just experienced, she already knew that the robin was dead, after all, it had been infected with the dream virus and completely assimilated.
However, she did not expect the incident to escalate so quickly.
Before the family could take any action, a guest, the company's gold dust, was the first to discover it.
"However, these wounds on his body look somewhat familiar..."
Eve began to examine the cracks on the robin's body.
Although it is just a projection of a dream, it can still express the most realistic details.
The robin's wounds reminded her of something.
destroy.
"As expected, behind the family lies a force of destruction..."
A cold glint appeared in Eve's eyes.
She wasn't quite sure about Mianmian before, since it was very likely that Mianmian had accidentally devoured some dream with a destructive aura.
But now, it's clear.
It was a destructive act.
This is the fourth time already, Destruction, you're really going after me.
Eve's face turned ashen, and she vanished from the dream in a flash.
Seeing this, the black swan shook its head helplessly and then left the dream.
The image of the robin in the Dream Pool also vanished into thin air at this moment.
.........................
The Robin's Room.
Sand Gold stood by the Dream Pool, glancing at his expensive watch every now and then.
He was clearly very anxious.
He heard the door open and immediately turned around to look.
The person who arrived was Eve.
"It seems, Director Eve, that we have finally come to terms with each other."
Sand Gold's expression remained unchanged, but the hands behind his back trembled slightly.
Because he was gambling, gambling on whether Eve would come or not.
If she doesn't come, it means Eve hasn't agreed to cooperate with him yet.
But now it seems that I won the gamble.
"You have indeed surprised me in many ways."
“However, whether we should be on the same side is still up for debate.” Eve walked up to Sand Gold.
She saw a robin lying in the Dream Pool, and it was indeed the same as the one in her dream.
The wounds on his body exuded an aura of destruction.
"Speaking of which, aren't you afraid your family will suspect you're the murderer if you choose this location?"
“Often, the first person to discover something is the one most likely to be framed as the murderer.” Eve looked at Sand Gold, waiting for his next answer.
"The murderer?" Sand Gold sneered.
“If the family really wants it, I will be the murderer whether I am here or not.”
“Moreover, this is not the primary crime scene.” Sand Gold walked to the side of the Dream Pool.
"The murderer killed the robin before bringing her here."
"The family's hound pedigree can attest to this."
"Really? It seems you're quite well-prepared." Eve looked at the room's furnishings.
The furniture was covered in a layer of dust, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.
This also proves that the robin was brought here after it died.
“That’s natural.” Sand Gold nodded. “After all, we need to avoid that woman.”
"You mean the underworld?" Eve asked.
"Director Eve, even now, do you still think that 'Sea Patrolman' is an outsider?"
"Pinocone solemnly promises that the safety of every guest will be guaranteed in the beautiful dream woven by the family. Those in distress will be forcibly awakened and safely returned to reality."
"What gives them the confidence to speak so confidently? Because behind this promise lies the protection of 'harmony': the family's dream architects have linked their thoughts together to build an unbreakable security barrier."
"Breaking through this barrier, creating 'death' within a dream... even those who remember cannot do this without the family's permission."
"Then who else could do it? It can only be her, that woman who calls herself the Sea Patrol Knight... an uninvited guest posing as her, a 'Commander' who conceals her true identity..."
"Affleck's death was inevitable, but the robin... her tragic fate was right before our eyes."
"If we continue to sit idly by and wait to die, who will be the next victim?"
Faced with the gold dust's vehement words, Eve pondered for a moment.
She didn't intend to refute anything; she had only met Huang Quan a few times and didn't know him well.
Currently, Eve only knows that Huang Quan is a void messenger, and nothing else. Therefore, Eve is skeptical of Sand Gold's words.
Because she knew that the robin's death had nothing to do with nothingness.
The real problem is destruction.
"I can support you, but I also need your loyalty."
"Tell me, what is your mission?"
Eve waved her hand to sweep the dust off the sofa and sat down.
Since we've agreed to cooperate, information sharing is the most basic requirement.
She was unaware of the true purpose behind Diamond's dispatch of gold dust to Pinocchio.
“Director Eve, to be frank, I have no interest in the inheritance battle. I'm only at Pinocchio for work. I need to reclaim some lost assets for the company, you know… namely, the ownership of ‘Frontier Prison.’”
Eve frowned slightly.
What a convenient excuse! The company wasn't interested in the inheritance battle; it wasn't interested in the inheritance itself, but rather in the entire family.
Wasn't the Border Prison the predecessor of Pinocchio?
If the company wants ownership of the border prison, doesn't that mean it wants the entire Pinocchio?
No wonder the family has always been resistant to the company, even to the point of hostility.
Sand Gold spread his hands and continued, "Thanks to the core of the cancerous star of myriad worlds, this thing has long become a bad debt. The company has tried to sit down and talk several times, but the family won't even open the door."
Black lines appeared above Eve's head.
If you want their whole house, how could they possibly open the door for you?
“You have no idea how difficult these people are to deal with. Let me put it this way, they were able to conceal the existence of ‘death’ before, and they will definitely be able to cover up the news of Robin’s death this time as well,” Sand Gold sighed.
"It just vanished silently like bubbles, and in the end, no one knew..."
“This is not fair, don’t you think, Director Eve? So, I need your support.”
After hearing what Sand Gold had to say, Eve felt completely overwhelmed.
Isn't this blatant robbery by the company? They're just trying to reap the benefits.
However, this is not an incomprehensible idea.
After all, the ownership of the border prison has always been in the hands of the company, so there is indeed no problem from the perspective of the Cosmic Act.
However, the operation itself is much more difficult.
