I forgot that Acheron likes to throw straight balls.

"How is it possible?! How would she know?!"

Robin was sweating profusely at this point.

Her aphonia was caused by the discordant noises in The Family.

And the leak of information naturally means that The Family is no longer working together, which means that there is a traitor in Penacony.

Precisely because Robin understood the huge hidden dangers behind her loss of voice, it was impossible for anyone except her closest people to know that she had lost her voice.

Even the agent and assistant who follow Robin every day know the same reasons as those announced to the public.

It's a secret.

A secret that can't even be spoken out loud.

In The Family known for its unity, there were actually some discordant noises.

Especially now that the Charmony Festival is about to be held.

The eyes of all the major forces in the universe are focused on this grand event that is held only once every Amber Era.

Although she was in a warm and comfortable room, Robin felt as if she had fallen into a cold bath. Before it knew it, her back was covered with cold sweat.

[Robin: Ms. Lin, you are joking. I have stopped my activities recently only to prepare for the Charmony Festival. Everything in The Family remains the same. Please do not believe in some false rumors.]

[Lin Shuang: Really? Then I apologize to Miss Robin. It was indeed my fault for asking you about such groundless information.]

Lin Shuang didn't really want to confirm her identity or anything. As she said before, it was already a studio account, so there was no need to pretend that she was not the real person.

Besides, it doesn't matter whether she was on the other side or not.

Lin Shuang's purpose was simply to convey this message to Robin's ears.

Let Robin know that she knows her secret.

In the eyes of Robin, who is already suspicious of the situation within The Family, Lin Shuang's presence is bound to be infinitely magnified.

At this time, even if Lin Shuang wanted to avoid it, Robin would not let her go.

A more extreme option would be to control Lin Shuang and make her unable to speak until the Charmony Festival was over.

But let's not talk about Lin Shuang's ability; the fact that she is now in the Xianzhou and has Acheron as her backing is not something that Robin can do.

If it were her brother Sunday, he might be able to find a way to do something, but Robin has been away from Penacony all year round, and the real power in her hands is definitely not as great as Sunday's.

If Robin still had some brains, after investigating Lin Shuang's situation, she would at least not take action right away.

If she negotiates, it will be much easier to get tickets to Penacony.

Lin Shuang put away her phone for the time being and was not in a hurry to talk more with Robin.

She planned to give it about two days.

And she had to give Robin time to investigate herself.

If you want to fool people, you have to be a good riddle teller.

True and false, real and fake news are easy to use to fool people.

The most important thing for a qualified riddle teller is to get away from the question at once, stop talking halfway, and never give the other party the opportunity to ask further questions easily.

So after throwing away her phone, Lin Shuang turned on silent mode and fell asleep while looking forward to Acheron's "gift.".

…

The next day.

Acheron's movement speed is frighteningly fast.

In just one day, Acheron sent a message saying that she had arrived at the original starport.

Lin Shuang was very curious whether this speed was Acheron's limit.

However, when Lin Shuang pressed the B button on her mobile phone, opened the pixel-style portal, and crossed to the abandoned starport.

Seeing Acheron's slightly surprised expression, Lin Shuang silently opened her arms and gently hugged Acheron.

"I didn't expect the reunion would come so soon."

She teased Acheron with a smile.

But Acheron looked down into Lin Shuang's eyes and said:

"I was actually looking forward to it."

"…"

It's broken. I forgot that Acheron likes to hit only straight balls.

Lin Shuang covered her chest and rubbed it. Her heartbeat quickened just now because of Acheron's statement.

"Why are you saying such embarrassing things after not seeing each other for a few days?"

"I'm trying to make myself less indifferent. My sense of taste has revived, and my recent memory has hardly been lost. This is all thanks to you."

Lin Shuang subconsciously wanted to refute.

She just thought about the things the system has given her recently. It always likes to come up with some hidden functions and play some word games.

Speaking of the rewards she drew yesterday.

The Secret Pattern for Breaking Illusions, this thing, also mentions not much in its introduction.

She went to bed too early yesterday and didn't think about this. Now that Acheron reminded her, Lin Shuang seemed to think that she could use this to see what functions the ring had.

Do it when you think of it.

Lin Shuang reached out and, seeing Acheron's puzzled expression, held her left hand.

The silver-white ring on the bare finger echoed the ring on Lin Shuang's hand.

She lowered her head and blinked, and complex secret patterns gradually emerged in her pupils.

Soon, Lin Shuang saw through the surface of the ring and the unspoken power within it.

Surprise, shock, and confusion.

After seeing the power in it clearly, Lin Shuang's eyes widened.

It's broken; it's true.

When the ring was given, there wasn't a single good comment on it. Lin Shuang originally thought it was just a very common blessing slogan.

'But only love is eternal, and even time cannot fade it.'

But who knew that this sentence actually had a literal meaning and that this thing had a function that could help the wearer remember related memories?

Everything related to Lin Shuang, including memories, tastes, etc., will be carefully preserved.

The original purpose was just to add some fun hidden features to add color to love.

Who would have thought that the person who wore this thing would be Acheron, who was tortured by Nihility?

This time, the side effects of Nihility on Acheron were eliminated.

Not only was her memory not lost, but even what was originally lost was forcibly regained because of Lin Shuang.

If any other Pathstrider were to carry this, it would not have such a good effect.

For example, Lin Shuang, when she put it on, it was just like an ordinary ring, nothing magical about it.

…

Just when Lin Shuang lowered her head in a daze.

Acheron just stared at Lin Shuang's white hair and her prominent nose.

The smell coming from Lin Shuang was not strong.

She doesn't like to wear makeup, unlike Acheron, who has a little bit of leisurely makeup fragrance on her body.

But to Acheron, it was a reassuring smell.

However, after just half a month of getting along, Acheron suddenly discovered that she had actually become a little accustomed to the feeling of having someone's company.

Leaving alone, Acheron even felt uncomfortable and a loneliness that she hadn't felt for a long time.

Maybe this is the disadvantage of her memory not disappearing?

Acheron couldn't help but think so in her heart, because memories will be lost so she won't feel lonely even if they are separated.

But if memories do not fade, those beautiful, reassuring moments will continue to arouse people's desires.

And desire will turn into loneliness when it cannot be obtained.
