The woman's voice called out in a prayer-like tone: "When you took his father, my child was still asleep in the amniotic fluid. Now, I am about to go to where my husband is..."

"I do not seek a peaceful departure, only that you tell me, the child sleeping in the swaddle... can he dream of his mother's heartbeat, the sound of rain falling on the earth? Please tell me, is life just a fleeting dream..."

"Otherwise, why must this child face death from the moment he is born...?"

???

For a moment.

Everyone was greatly surprised!

This woman was undoubtedly Aventurine's mother.

But why did her voice sound so desperate?

From her words...

Did Aventurine face a life-and-death crisis right after he was born?

At that moment.

A young girl's voice rang out.

"Mom...! Mom...!"

"Mom—rain! It's raining!"

Accompanied by the girl's excited voice.

Thunder and rain also sounded in the background.

"Rain...? Rain..."

"It's raining! It's true! Those Outworlders didn't lie to us, they really brought the rain... Mom, we can leave here now... we can go home...!"

The mother's voice also became very excited: "Home... ah... the Triple-eyed Earth Mother Goddess, it's you. Did you hear? Thank you... thank you..."

"Baby, listen... this is the sound of rain. On the day you were born, the sky also bestowed the Mother Goddess's blessing (rain) like this."

"You are a lucky child, a blessed child... just like your name, you are a gift from Her to the Avgin... my child..."

This part of the plot left many people in shock!

They started sending comments in the live stream.

...

"Is this still Aventurine?"

"Is this still that man's story?"

"Damn! If it weren't for the plot of 'Honkai: Star Rail,' I would never believe Aventurine had such an experience!"

"Oh my, the voices of the mother and sister are so touching, you can really feel their genuine emotions!"

"So, Aventurine's mother and sister must be very happy now, right? After all, Aventurine has climbed to such a high position."

...

Aventurine witnessed this scene.

For a moment, his heart was overwhelmed with mixed emotions!

Back then, he was still young.

He didn't have direct memories of it.

He only knew about the circumstances of his birth from his sister's retelling.

Now.

Yu Ling replayed it through the narrative.

Only then did Aventurine truly feel it firsthand.

How desperately his mother had wished for him to survive!

How surprised and thrilled she was when the rain fell from the sky!

At that moment.

His mother spoke a passage.

"May the Mother Goddess close her eyes for you three times..."

Aventurine was stunned!

This was a phrase etched deep into his heart.

Instinctively, he silently recited it along with her.

"May your bloodline forever pulse..."

"May your journey always be smooth..."

"May your schemes never be exposed."

Finally.

His mother added in a trembling voice, "Welcome to this sorrowful world, Kakavasha (Child blessed by the Mother Goddess)."

After a brief silence.

Dr. Ratio's voice rang out.

"It's time to wake up, gambler."

The flashback ended.

Returning to the familiar storyline for everyone.

Aventurine and Dr. Ratio headed to the Dewlight Pavilion to meet Sunday.

The flashback had stirred some waves.

It piqued the interest of many regarding Aventurine's origins.

However.

The main focus of the group remained on the meeting between the company and the family.

The Dewlight Pavilion was a new map.

Little Gui explored it with ease.

Unlocking the gate through the Nightingale statue.

Then arriving before a sandpit.

By inserting the archway plugin.

An option appeared: [Enter the City Sandpit].

After interacting.

A flash of white light ensued.

Aventurine stood on the city streets, gazing up at the enormous figure of... Dr. Ratio in the sky.

"Huh?"

"Heavens, I've shrunk? Am I dreaming?" Aventurine exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

"You certainly are," Dr. Ratio teased.

"Professor, you've become so tall! I've actually entered a sandbox and become this tiny..."

"Should we just leave like this? Find another chance to stuff me into Sunday's collar, infiltrate the family this way..."

Dr. Ratio: "..."

"Alright, just kidding."

Such banter and sarcastic exchanges were frequent throughout their journey.

In the live stream.

A small portion of the audience even started shipping Aventurine and Dr. Ratio...

...

"Aventurine, hurry up and join the character pool!"

"I hope Aventurine can support Dr. Ratio, these two are so entertaining together!"

"Aventurine keeps calling him 'Professor,' making Dr. Ratio's heart bloom with joy."

"What Path should Aventurine be? The Hunt? Or Erudition?"

"Aventurine is one of the Ten Stonehearts of the company, could he possibly be Preservation?"

"Hahaha, I'd believe it if you said he's Elation! Aventurine definitely can't be Preservation, it's too out of place!"

"True, as of now, he has absolutely no connection to Preservation."

...

After collecting the final Dream Fragment.

Aventurine and Dr. Ratio's journey through the toy city came to an end.

The gate opened.

At the entrance.

Dr. Ratio spoke with a cold expression, "It's unfortunate to see you leave the sandbox alive. Sunday is behind this door. From my humble perspective, he's not an easy person to deal with. Are you ready?"

"Mm, I believe it's him who should be prepared," Aventurine replied with confidence.

"Tell me your plan."

"There's no plan. I'll adapt as I go. When dealing with people, there are only two bargaining chips: interest or fear."

"It seems you truly don't understand sincerity."

Aventurine chuckled, "Am I not sincere enough? No need to emphasize it. We'll make good use of death. That man's sister is dead, and he's surely restless. That's fear."

"And I'll help him uncover the murderer. Due to his identity and position, he can't do it himself, but I can. That's interest."

Seeing this.

Aventurine let out a slight sigh of relief.

Good...

Even at this point, even with Ratio speaking so bluntly.

He still hadn't exposed his true scheme!

Excellent!

Continue.

Dr. Ratio continued to question, "Why do you think he can't do it himself and has to entrust someone from a rival company?"

"Simple—because the murderer is likely a traitor lurking within the family."

"You previously accused that Galaxy Ranger."

"That was just an excuse, Professor. That woman is suspicious. I needed someone to keep her in check. The fewer variables outside our vision during our actions, the better."

Aventurine flashed a sly smile and continued to explain, "I also need to know who she is. If my luck is genuine, she'll definitely become an important piece. And in this matter, the more friends who can help me, the better."

"But to be honest, the murder case likely has nothing to do with her. I still hold the same view: there's definitely an internal issue within the family. Otherwise, why would our Mr. Sunday arrange a private meeting? This isn't an interrogation but a secret negotiation."

"Watch. Using Robin's death as a bargaining chip, I'll win back my freedom and power. In the end, I'll overturn this dream and create the grandest death."

"If stepping through this door brings a chance for triumph, even if the probability is infinitely close to zero, I have no reason to hesitate, right?"

"Why do you think you can win, damn gambler?" Dr. Ratio challenged.

"Three chips are enough."

"All or nothing."

...

In the cinema.

Seeing Aventurine deliver such a confident line in the plot!

All the employees instantly became excited!

Some even.

Stood up from their seats.

And began applauding!

"PV callback!"

"He'll win!"

"So that's it?"

"I get it! Director Aventurine wants to use this to reclaim his Cornerstone and regain his authority as an Emanator of Preservation!"

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

"Write it down, write it down!"

"Director Aventurine's famous quote—[All or nothing]!"
