Who Is She?

Appearance has a fatal impact on a person.

Even if a good-looking person commits heinous acts, many people will scramble to whitewash them. But if a person is too ugly, even if they are a good person, they will still be misunderstood and even attacked.

Twilight was very fortunate that her appearance was definitely top-tier even in the entire galaxy, so she didn't have to worry about those judgmental people finding fault with her because of it.

And completely opposite to her situation was the terrifying-looking black monster before her eyes.

Memetic Entity: [Something Unto Death]—nickname Mian Mian (Sleepy), diligently carrying out its job as a public transport bus, responsible for ferrying dreamers between two dreamscapes. It could be called a harmless and excellent employee.

But unfortunately, it was too ugly. Not only did it have a bunch of eyeballs, but also a large claw, clearly not looking like a good thing. Therefore, even its act of carrying people was seen as murder, leading to countless beatings.

Yes, just like now.

Twilight huddled in a corner, watching Caelus and Firefly engaged in a fierce battle with Mian Mian not far away.

For her, who had switched to the Path of Memory, coming to the dream world was like a fish in water. As long as she wanted, let alone hiding and peeking, she could walk right up to the two of them swaggeringly, and they wouldn't notice her.

The baseball bat and the large claw collided repeatedly, sparking countless times, looking thrilling and dangerous. And this fierce battle, if Twilight were to evaluate it, she could only say—pathetically weak.

Twilight wasn't being modest, but based on the combat power displayed by these two, she could fight at least 10 of them with one hand…

Let alone Twilight, even Firefly, who was being protected by Caelus, could probably easily beat the Mian Mian before them. In the short time Twilight stood here watching the show, she had already seen Firefly almost unable to resist attacking directly several times.

After all, for Sam, the Molten Knight who wreaked havoc on the battlefield, pretending to be a frail maiden needing protection was indeed extremely uncomfortable.

Heh, still can't keep her composure. Isn't it just watching two weaklings peck at each other? If she can't handle such a small scene, she shouldn't walk the path of acting and deceiving feelings. Just be honest and lay everything out~

As a renowned emotional fraud expert and award-winning actor, Twilight very impolitely gave Firefly's acting a negative review.

If it were her acting, she would absolutely not appear clumsy like this, yet precisely avoid all attacks. Quite the opposite, she would make herself look very agile, dodging most attacks, and then [accidentally] get injured by an attack Caelus failed to block, or even get seriously injured while protecting Caelus.

After all, someone who knows nothing and only causes trouble, yet comes out of a fierce battle without a scratch, would make people feel like she's just dragging the team down, surviving purely by luck thanks to her teammates. But someone agile, who even gives up dodging an avoidable attack to protect you, would undoubtedly be considered a reliable companion.

It goes without saying which behavior could farm more favorability.

However, considering Firefly wasn't a professional after all, Twilight didn't have too many demands on her.

After all, not everyone can be a bad woman~

Wait a little longer, let her find the perfect timing for entry…

——

First attacked by that girl disguised as Sampo, taken to this haunted hotel-like place, and then suddenly encountering a terrifying-looking monster attacking them…

Honestly, Caelus even suspected if he had walked onto the wrong set and entered some horror movie's dreamscape… The only fortunate thing was that he wasn't the kind of protagonist in horror movies who was completely powerless. Relying on his baseball bat, he could barely contend with this terrifying monster.

But there was still a gap in strength, especially while protecting the frail Firefly. After a struggle, Caelus was still careless for a moment, and the monster's claw knocked the weapon out of his hand.

The monster seemed to have been waiting for this moment. Without the slightest hesitation, it stabbed directly towards the wide-open Firefly! In the emergency, Caelus didn't have time to think, subconsciously pulling Firefly into his arms, trying to block the attack with his body.

No matter what, he was a Nameless of the Astral Express. Protecting the weak was his responsibility! Besides, he had the Stellaron in his body. No matter how you looked at it, he was far stronger than Firefly, a sick stowaway. Naturally, he should bear this responsibility.

But even so, he didn't think he could really block a sharp claw with his flesh. He was already prepared to be pierced through.

He even wondered, if he died just like that, what would the reactions of the Express crew be… With Twilight around, it would definitely be a very terrifying scene.

But that moment ultimately didn't arrive.

There was only silence around, as if all things had lost their sound.

Caelus carefully opened his eyes and looked back, finding that the hideous monster had stopped in place at some point. The tip of its sharp claw was gently held by a fair hand, unable to advance an inch.

The person stopping the monster wore a white dress, her long blue hair swayed slightly due to her movement, and her eyes were currently staring silently at Caelus, undisguised confusion in her pupils.

"Caelus, who is she?"

"Twilight?!" Seeing the person appear before him, Caelus was overjoyed. "What are you doing here?"

He never expected that at this moment, Twilight would appear before him like a divine soldier descending from heaven. In just an instant, the feeling of fear that had gripped his heart calmed down.

Seeing this familiar figure, a huge sense of security welled up in his heart. With Twilight by his side, Caelus felt as if nothing was a problem anymore.

"Himeko and the others said they couldn't find Caelus, so I came into the dreamscape to look for you…"

Twilight said, silently turning her head to look at Mian Mian, which was frozen in her hand, not daring to move an inch. She expressionlessly shook it, then casually tossed it aside.

And the moment it left Twilight's hand, Mian Mian, which was still obsessed with its work, almost instantly disappeared from the spot. If it weren't for the fact that it had no legs, it might have performed a rolling and crawling escape.

No choice. Although its intelligence wasn't very high, it could still feel the terrifying power emanating from the woman before it… It liked its job very much and wasn't ready to be crushed into retirement.

However, it was actually worrying too much about this point, because Twilight had no intention of killing it here, otherwise it wouldn't even have had the chance to escape.

The biggest reason Mian Mian was still alive was that it was still useful.

But let's ignore its matter for now…

Twilight's gaze slowly moved down from Caelus, finally settling on Firefly, whom he was protecting in his arms. Then, her voice repeated, without fluctuation, the words she had spoken seconds ago.

"Caelus, who is she?"
