Master Pantalone has no crazy plans today

If the real crisis that needs to be faced is 'that', then it is a crisis that cannot be solved even if the real protagonist solves it.

He must find a solution and a way out before the threat brought by 'that', otherwise the 'Void Will Project' will be the only plan that can deal with the crisis of 'that'.

But can he really find a better plan besides the 'Void Will Plan'?

For this point, even Pantalone, who is not a soul of this world, cannot be sure of this point.

He has always thought that everything can be solved after the protagonist comes to the end of the plot. After realizing that the real crisis and terror actually exist, this makes Pantalone fall into deep self-doubt and confusion.

Even so, no one can talk to or answer the confusion in his heart. As Pantalone, he can only close his heart and bury everything deeply in his heart.

He wasn't sure if only "The Harlequin" was hinting to him about the crisis that 'that' needed to face, or if it was something all the Executors knew.

However, based on what Pantalone knows so far, perhaps the "clown" is suggesting to him that all the possibilities are relatively high. Considering this, how much does the "clown" know about the "insider story"?

Pantalone knew that the best way to know everything was to ask someone who knew it all, and listened to someone who was confused and what he didn't know.

He knew who he should ask to know everything he wanted to know, and he didn't answer the confusion in his heart.

Pantalone, who had used the dreaming ability of the 'Void Dreamland Terminal' again after a long absence, once again set foot in the dream that he had forgotten for a long time and did not intend to face.

Opening his eyes again, the pure day covered by endless ice and snow came into his eyes.

The biting cold wind that hits the face, and the cold brought by the snowflakes falling on him are so real.

With such a real touch, the boundary between the waking world and the dream world is almost blurred at this moment, so that Pantalone even had an illusion when he was in a trance.

Even if he had already experienced a similar thing, when he stepped into this dreamland again, he still felt unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Perhaps the boundary between reality and illusion is sometimes not as clear as he thinks?

Feeling the incomparably real environment, Pantalone couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, it didn't seem like he would start caring about these metaphysical things.

"I thought you wouldn't come? Should I say, long time no see?"

The words with such a smile came from behind Pantalone, and Pantalone looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw the figure I expected to see, a figure wearing a silver-white dress to set off and showing the beauty that is not human-like, came into view, with an expected smile on his face.

It seemed that she had been waiting for him here for a long time, and Pantalone was not surprised by all of this.

Rather, after seeing the figure of the queen, he confirmed the conjecture he had discovered a long time ago, that the world connected by the 'void dream system' is indeed a world of dreams.

It's just that it's the same as what he thought at the beginning, this is not the concretization of dreams in the conventional sense.

And the queen in front of him is not a product of his subconscious mind. If his feeling is correct, then the queen in front of him should most likely be...

Pantalone didn't think about it any further.

Because he knew that he already had the answer in his heart.

Pantalone took a deep breath, and then saluted the figure of the queen in front of her.

"Long time no see, my lord."

As if they were old friends reunited after a long absence, the greeting between the two seemed so natural.

It's as if such a scene has happened countless times in the past, giving people a sense of déjà vu.

The thoughts in Pantalone's heart continued to surge, and finally the inextricable emotions finally calmed down, making Pantalone look at the queen's figure and express his inner thoughts and things he wanted to ask.

"There is something I want to talk to you about."

"Is it about the plan submitted by Piero? If it is about the plan submitted by Piero, then there is no other opinion on the plan itself."

As if she had understood the purpose of Pantalone's visit, the queen walked past Pantalone with light steps.

He stopped by his side, looked at the end of the pure day and answered Pantalone with an ethereal voice, as if she already knew everything.

This convinced Pantalone that the Empress might know more than he thought.

This made Pantalone ask after a moment of silence.

"Are you not opposed to the plan itself?"

This is the question Pantalone has always wanted to ask.

In the eyes of others, this kind of plan should be a crazy thing that violates ethics and morals, destroys humanity and ignores all bottom lines. No matter from which point of view, it is contrary to the empress's own ideal path.

Perhaps other executives think that this plan is desirable, because other executives have different opinions.

So this practice of putting results above all else, sacrificing everything else for it.

For the ideal of the Ice Queen, how should we treat it?

Pantalone wants to know the answer to this question.

After hearing this question, the queen did not answer the question immediately. Her eyes fell behind the end of the pure day, as if she wanted to see through the end of the world to see the things hidden behind.

"Sometimes what we need to face is not only what is in front of us. The real cruelty is the truth under the false lies. It is the thing that needs to be faced directly under the eternal future. It is the cruelest thing in this world. the real side."

"Do you still remember what you said to me last time about this world called Tevat?"

The Queen's gaze retracted from the far end of the pure day, and then fell on Pantalone beside her.

This made Pantalone couldn't help recalling the question that the Queen had asked the last time he visited this snow-covered pure white land.

Seeing Pantalone seemed to remind her of everything, the queen continued.

"This world called Tevat is like a well-protected treasure. This well-designed world is like a small garden. Under this lie, there is a real and cruel side that we must face."

"Even if you have to pay all the price for this, as long as the result can be achieved, then everything is acceptable."

The queen's words were undoubtedly telling Pantalone that she knew exactly what kind of enemy she was facing.

In other words, it is precisely because he clearly understands what kind of enemy he is facing that he still chooses to be an enemy.

She has already been prepared to carry everything on her back, and as a god, she does have such qualifications and capacity, and this is the path she has chosen.

The queen's answer made Pantalone fall into silence, originally he just wanted to know the answer from the queen.

But when the queen threw that question in front of him again, it forced Pantalone to face the question that he had been avoiding all along.

He has always believed that everything has nothing to do with him, as long as he waits for the arrival of the real protagonist, he can solve everything.

So he has always thought that he can stay out of it, sit back and relax and don't have to think about too many problems.
