Chapter 184: The increasingly twisted inferences! Acheron becomes the suspect!



First and foremost was a shocking revelation— Penacony wasn't just a dual-line plotline! It was triple-plotline!

Even more astonishing was that these three plotlines weren't traditional narrative lines but timelines!

And each timeline in the series had both a reality line and a dream line!

In other words, there were six distinct narrative plots, concealing the ultimate secrets!

----------------------------

Just as the audience was fervently discussing.

In a certain section of the tavern, "The real Penacony story has already happened long before we saw the first episode!"

During a live stream on a forum, a familiar big name appeared—it was none other than the person who had analyzed about the Fall of The Ena, Conan.

At that moment, he was summarizing and organizing clues collected from everywhere on camera.

On the blackboard behind him, photos of characters were posted and interconnected with arrows.

"Before we delve into the truth of Penacony, there's one thing we must understand."

"And that's 'Dream Matter.' This point is very important!" Conan pulled out a photo of a Dream Bubble and explained to everyone "In the train scene, Pompom explained the concept of Dream Matter."

"For simplicity, you can think of it as a super dream inducer!"

"This substance allows you to enter a deep dream state, and within the dream, your subconscious and memories are affected by it!"

"It may even lead to hallucinations, comas, memory disorders, or even the 'mental death' described by Black Swan!"

After saying this, Conan pulled back the blackboard behind him, revealing prewritten materials. "Once you understand this, it becomes clear that in Penacony, everyone can lie—except for memory!"

"Because people are less guarded in dreams. Although Penacony's dreams are lucid dreams, it doesn't change the fact that they are still dreams."

"What's even scarier is that while you seem to enter a paradise of imagination, everything in the dream can potentially be controlled by others!"

"The most direct evidence lies with the Dreambuilders at the Border of the Dream. They can manipulate the collective subconscious ocean created under the influence of Dream Matter!"

No matter how real Penacony's beautiful dreams may seem, they remain dreams.

As long as they are dreams, they are illusions. When external forces are used to make such illusions 'real,' the underlying concept is already chilling.

On the blackboard behind Conan, a photo of a black swan with a veil and a faint smile was marked with a red circle drawn in marker.

"I've seen many people say that this chapter of 'Honkai: Star Rail' is like a game of Werewolf."

"But in my view, it's more like a murder mystery role-playing game."

"Everyone has their own stance and goals. Alliances, lies, and actions all serve to achieve a single objective."

"And among them, Black Swan from the Garden of Recollection is undoubtedly the most trustworthy person."

"Or rather, her goals inherently don't conflict with ours."

"As a Memokeeper, she is practically at home in this dreamscape, a domain sealed off by her family."

"Places others can't access, she can."

"Doors others can't open, she can unlock!"

"She can even directly read other people's memories!"

At this moment, the chat barrage exploded.

...

: Conan, why do you say Black Swan won't harm anyone?

: In the first episode, Black Swan seemed extremely mysterious and didn't help Stelle.

: And she even sold Stelle out to Aventurine. Though… though she had her reasons, she wasn't willing to explain them to others.

...

Seeing these comments, Conan chuckled.

"It's clear that right now, you don't trust any character who appears in Penacony."

"And that's normal. But whether it's Werewolf or a murder mystery, you need to find your allies!"

"At the very least, Black Swan is a neutral card, so her actions should be analyzed to understand others' stances."

"And don't forget, in Penacony, everyone can lie—except for memory. That's what this dream-based logic depends on."

After earning general agreement from the audience, Conan continued.

"This Memokeeper must know things we don't, but she hasn't revealed them yet. That's fine."

"From her interactions and reactions with others, we can identify the most suspicious individual."

"Acheron!"

"Everyone, look at this scene!"

After saying this, Conan played a clip.

It was a scene from the first episode, showing Black Swan leading Stelle in the dream hotel and encountering Acheron.

"Do you see it? This is one of the most brilliant details!"

"Previously, whether facing Stelle or the other Express members, Black Swan's words were filled with persuasion and allure, as if deliberately inspiring or coercing."

"But when she saw Acheron, her words and gaze completely changed!"

"She was afraid!"

"So the question is, what could possibly have happened to make a Memokeeper feel fear in an environment full of Dream Matter?"

"This is Black Swan's domain!"

"Based on the storyline, the two of them definitely didn't have any 'physical' conflict, but given Black Swan's character… is it possible…"

"She saw something in Acheron's memory that utterly terrified her!"

...

: Gasp, oh my gosh, Conan. I didn't think of it before, but now it's sending chills down my spine.

: Could it be that she saw how Acheron killed the Inferno Duke?

: Didn't Aventurine say the Duke's death involved some incredibly cruel method?

: Maybe it's something even more horrifying…

: Killing alone might be shocking, but for something to terrify Black Swan, there must be more to it!

: Mom, what exactly did we see?

...

The reaction in the bullet comments— is full of colorful comments

Just thinking about this made him so excited he could barely contain himself.

"Acheron definitely isn't a Galaxy Ranger! I can confirm that."

"And she must be an Emanator!"

"Do you know why I'm so certain?" Conan gave a mysterious smile, then enlarged the photo of Duke Inferno dramatically, using it as a giant close-up.

"Because the promotional PV for Duke Inferno was actually made— for Acheron!"

As soon as the words dropped, the live-stream audience suddenly realized the truth.

No wonder Duke Inferno made such a pretentious PV.

It was all to set off Acheron!

That's the only way to explain why they made a PV for someone who didn't even show their face in the main story.

They had to create someone who looks awesome and actually is awesome— Only to have Acheron take them down.

It was all meant to highlight Acheron's power indirectly.

...

: I can't hold it anymore, Duke Inferno is just too pitiful!

: If it weren't for the Annihilation Gang having an invitation, they probably wouldn't even have gotten a PV.

: Good grief, another case of PV fraud.

: Pfft, sorry, I couldn't help but laugh.

: But what about Duke Inferno's kids? Those seemingly handsome guys—they must have been eliminated from the circle.

...

"Not only that, but Acheron also fought Sam."

"The explosive BGM and the shocking punch—all of it emphasized Sam's strength as a Stellaron Hunter."

"But even so, Acheron didn't even draw her blade."

"She must be an Emanator; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for her to achieve this level of prowess." Conan continued, and while he spoke, he added the words "True Culprit/Suspect" below Acheron's photo.

"Three people died in the first episode. The culprit who killed Duke Inferno must undoubtedly be Acheron."

"But the death of the Robin may also be connected to her."

"The mastermind behind everything is Acheron."

"As for the monster that killed Firefly, we'll talk about it later—but there's a pattern to where and how it appeared."

"Only Robin was killed in her own room, with wounds that looked deliberate and targeted."

"But the motive behind the attack remains unclear. We'll probably need to wait for more intel to be revealed."

At this point, Conan's eye twitched slightly.

The audience immediately got the hint.

With this level of intensity in just the first episode, killing three characters outright—

How many people will even survive the second episode?

Waiting for intel? Better hope they don't just send back obituaries instead—now that would be hilarious.

In summary, after this round of analysis, there was only one question left about Acheron, "Whose Emanator is she?"

"Aventurine provided a few options; bringing death and destruction was a key hint."

"Many Paths align with this, but we need to examine Acheron's first appearance—the amount of information packed into that was explosive."

Under Conan's commentary, Acheron's actions and every noteworthy detail were thoroughly analyzed.

First, before the story began, Acheron found the Annihilation Gang—likely after wiping out Duke Inferno's entire family—and secured the invitation.

And every character in Honkai: Star Rail has their own motives.

Why did Acheron do this?

You should know that the first person to meet Stelle was Acheron.

In the following plotlines, she showed up "just in time" multiple times—such as when Aventurine barged into the room to help Stelle out, or with the clockmaker boy to address an emergency, and at the dream hotel, where she conveniently encountered Black Swan and Stelle.

"She could freely traverse the sealed dreamscape that only Memokeepers can enter."

"She could go toe-to-toe with Sam without drawing her blade, but she didn't step in to save Firefly."

"Hahaha, this is way too fascinating!"

"Do you remember Acheron's lines from the very beginning? They hinted at the ultimate question."

"If Stelle knew everything around them—friends, family, strangers, everything—would eventually leave them, would Stelle still embark on the journey?"

"When Stelle answered, Acheron cried, and Stelle woke up crying too."

"Do you get it? Only Finality knows the future. Acheron's sorrow is probably rooted in the prophecy of Finality."

"That's the only way to explain why she could appear in just the right places at the right times."

"What kind of 'space comedy' is this?!

"This is a goddamn space tragedy!"

...

: Aaaaah! No! I don't want to hear this!

: Help! No wonder Acheron's lines were in red—they were blatantly foreshadowing everything.

: At first, I didn't think much of it, just thought she was being cryptic, but if this ties back to Finality, it's a huge deal.

: And what about Elio? This feels off somehow.

: But for now, it seems like the most reasonable explanation.

...

Conan's analysis is logical and well-founded.

It aligns closely with various subtle hints in the storyline.

At times like this, the happiness of a world without moles is truly highlighted.

Without the moles generated by the game and the numerous object-based hints, purely based on the plot, this is the most reasonable explanation.

Whether it's Aventurine's dialogue or Acheron's various actions, they align astonishingly with the finality.

After all, there were just too many red herrings in the first episode.

Even when Aventurine mentioned fate, he didn't say anything related to nihilism.

And as for Acheron's words, they could either relate to nihilism or align with the logic of the ultimate actions.

In fact, the latter seems even more likely.

Thus, Acheron became the prime suspect of the entire first episode.

With Conan's analysis like this, the more the audience thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

For a time, Conan's fame grew rapidly.

"March 7th, the great prophet—those seemingly joking words cannot be ignored. There's a high probability that we'll see these things happen in Penacony."

"And in the plot, March 7th had a very crucial line: 'In horror movies, the first person to appear is always the mastermind.'"

"The first person we met in Penacony was Acheron!"

"Friends, let's settle on this conclusion!"

"She will surely shock everyone, but it doesn't matter. Through clue-based reasoning, we've already uncovered half of Acheron's true face."

"Whatever happens next in the second episode, we'll at least be mentally prepared."

At this moment, the bullet comments were filled with messages thanking Conan.

Thanks to Conan's analysis, the viewers could breathe a little easier.

At least, they wouldn't be as shocked by sudden plot twists as they were in the first episode.

Moving forward, more analyses followed.

Conan, being a professional in suspense and detective work, focused on deriving Acheron's character through interactions and behaviors.

At the same time, he also understood the probing and alliances among major factions quite directly.

The trigger was both a person and a piece of dialogue.

"Aventurine's stance and goal are very clear—he's the second person in Penacony we can temporarily trust and ally with."

"He came with the purpose of reclaiming Penacony for the IPC, and his most frequent words were 'friends' and 'bargaining chips.'"

"When entering the hotel, there was a memory echo of others, Aventurine with Ratio, Robin with Sunday, and Silver Wolf with SAM."

"These all imply that these people are teammates."

"But there are other doubts, such as Black Swan being with Sparkle. Black Swan said she already had a bodyguard. Aside from these echoes, there was another pair: Stelle and Acheron preparing to leave together."

"This behavior in this scene seems to hint that Acheron and Stelle are teammates."

"This conflicts with our earlier deductions…"

Even Conan scratched his head in frustration.

Various clues and hints must contain red outlines, but there were simply too many, making it overwhelming at times.

Ultimately, only the one with the most evidence—Acheron being the primary suspect—was adopted as the hypothesis.

"In short, in this segment, the overt line is the interactions among major factions, but the covert line is full of various implications."

"In Stelle's room, Aventurine performed a little trick, directly handing a coin to Stelle without giving her any reason or opportunity to refuse."

"The reason I say Aventurine can be temporarily trusted is not only because of Black Swan's words but also because of Aventurine's logic in this segment of the plot."

"He first voluntarily gave up his room to Stelle, then forcibly handed over the coin, essentially forcing an alliance."

"But Aventurine also offered what he considered a 'payment' or token of goodwill, which was the premium suite."

"As for the three chips in his possession, I believe they represent one piece of intelligence and two allies: Robin, Black Swan, and the Trailblazer."

"Robin represents the truth about overturning Penacony, which is the truth of dream-death."

"Black Swan represents the ability to traverse the memory realm and control over memory material."

"The Trailblazer has the Stellaron. Aventurine knows this, which means it represents a force capable of overturning the entire chessboard at a critical moment."

With this explanation, fans seemed to dislike Aventurine a little less.

After the first episode aired, in Penacony, Aventurine still appeared somewhat human-like.

As a IPC executives in this intricate plot, he seemed much less enigmatic.

Amid this heated exchange and discussion, besides Conan's livestream, others were also conducting various interpretations.

Misha, the clockmaker.

Dreams and reality.

Even professionals analyzed the good and bad based on dialogue.

These Hound Household members were utterly engrossed.

Many theories were quickly overturned by more "reasonable" inferences.

But the audience persisted enthusiastically trying to come up with more inferences.

The only constant? Perhaps it was the thread pinned by the moderator across all major chat sections, A scruffy-faced Gallagher with dull eyes, staring blankly at the camera.
