Part 5. The unspoken implication
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWakbsWiQA
"It's me." Jasky heard the familiar voice and slowly lowered his hand, raising his head.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4DJYEKfK2
"You cleared the level?" Jasky asked with a puzzled look.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsBZLpkVBN
"Yeah!" Toosb took out the headpiece of the key and said, "Just as you said, the key parts were hidden in those giant appliances. I found them inside one of the telephones."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuwXCYqFJT
"But those telephones won't..."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAXRZHlXrH
"Are you talking about the insults? Don't be fooled by their size. The appliances themselves won't attack people. Just ignore the negative accusations and find the underlying message. I discovered the crucial telephone by listening to encouragement from my father in many of the handsets."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vBsjm8NFJ
Toosb looked cautiously ahead as the loudspeakers of the record players approached again, causing Jasky's legs to tremble uncontrollably.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw62cd13qc
"Jasky." Toosb called his name directly for the first time and extended a hand to Jasky, saying, "The law of attraction. Even in adversity, stay positive so that your dreams can be attracted to you."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaj4GMtKeB
"..." Jasky extended his hand and let Toosb pull him up.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY1afq0oAA
"To pass this level, you must gather the courage to confront them. When you're scared, think of Amisa's affirmations!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oaiU1H1SS
Jasky blushed and turned his face away. "I didn't expect you to be reliable too..."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3L7Ny0Lv
"Haha! I just went through a tough time myself. No time to waste. Are you ready?" Toosb noticed the floor starting to shake.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcqMPSr3Tm
Jasky nodded. "Okay."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo9wuahTJO
"Alright, on the count of three, let's charge forward! One, two, three, go!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq1qkM06kw
With unwavering determination, the two of them rushed forward, and the record players and radios responded by turning the volume to the maximum:
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RYpJg5SYE
Fatso!
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpHwkjfzO0
Disgusting guy!
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNUqTmTjnC
Hey, fatty, get lost!
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO1PHeLiHJ
The increasing insults fueled Jasky's insecurities, constantly tempting him to turn back. Toosb held onto his arm and encouraged him, saying, "Don't pay attention to them! Listen for the underlying message!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWXqjalKny
"The underlying message..." Jasky tried hard to compose himself, suppressing his negative emotions and carefully listening. Gradually, he began to faintly hear a tiny voice:
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCITxBVxyy
Do you still want me as your mom?
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBQFLEkZeY
He discovered a small inconspicuous record player hidden in the corner. Its voice sounded different from the other appliances' insults, so he dashed over and grabbed the small record player.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfkzrJyMOo
"Did you find it?" Toosb caught up.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmijxytvpv
"Quiet." Jasky held the record player tightly and listened attentively.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fe5xtNBlC
"Child, do you know? Your father sacrificed his family and life for his dream of magician. Mom doesn't want you to follow the same path. Mom knows you have dreams, but the strict training in pastry every day is not to make you become a pastry chef necessarily. It's to ensure that on your journey towards your dreams, you have at least one skill to support yourself. You must become a responsible adult with shoulders to rely on. You're Mom's most precious son. Mom hasn't thrown away any of the magic props; they are safely kept in the cabinet. When the time is right, Mom will give them back to you and let you pursue your dreams. Please come out of your room, okay?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZwKxajbOI
After the small tape recorder finished playing, the other speakers around automatically returned to their original positions and stopped moving. Jasky lowered his head in silence and retrieved the key component from under the small tape recorder's tape.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcazttJEf9U
Amisa asked curiously from the side, "Did you cry?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRvItz9cc0
"No," Jasky wiped away the tears that had accidentally escaped and stood up. "Let's go and help Amisa."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Kgdtim2C
"Oh, oh! I just went to check on her. She said she would handle it herself and asked me to come and help you."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoICjCIBQyQ
"Ah... I can't believe she was worried about me."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP9MJOKmIN
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!" At that moment, Mido flew over from the other side, biting onto Jasky's ear and pulling it back. "Hey! Did Amisa get the component?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27oumj8Xz
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mido's panicked expression, Jasky realized something was off. "Did something happen to Amisa?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1xSYTOrrB
"I hope not!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo3HmzeC5j
The two hurriedly made their way through the maze of electronics in the middle and found Amisa entangled in the wires of headphones and microphones, with the third key component in her hand. The surrounding speakers continuously played insults towards her:
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnWNCchl8V
"Amisa, your singing is amazing! Better than any kid in the world~"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXili7rMhEo
"What else can you do besides dreaming every day? Do you think you're a princess?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcA6O8KaQ4
"Are you still releasing albums? You shameless thing."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcgBE41r4I
Amisa gave up struggling and let the headphones and microphones entangle her while the insults continued. An uncomfortable black glow emanated from her pockets.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDLZvaxwJj
"This is strange. Didn't she get the component?" Jasky said nervously. At that moment, the surroundings shook once again. Jasky looked at the water tobacco clock and saw less than 30 seconds remaining.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzMJvrrn8x
"Birdie, hand me the component first. Silly bunny, go check if there's a Portal of Harmony nearby."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LaQlwLS0u
"Huh? Aren't we going to save Amisa first?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhIn8AD2CF
"We don't have time. Find the portal first, or we'll all die here."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2p7ra0Fue
"Okay, I got it."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r6QOio5Xq
"Squeak, squeak!" Mido took the key component from Amisa's weak hand and handed it to Jasky. Jasky quickly assembled the three key components. The ceiling was collapsing, and there were only 10 seconds left.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyPNJsjuAZ
"There's no portal anywhere!" Jasky shouted anxiously.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsKnDhdkE5
"It's here!" Jasky found a keyhole in the middle of a massive speaker assembly in the midst of the maze. He inserted the just assembled key, and with a click, a hidden door inside the speaker automatically opened. The floor started to crack, and there were less than 5 seconds remaining.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicNHyDZMtw
"Shy guy, save Amisa!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKHWjegMRl
"Damn it! I can't make it!" The floor in the direction of Amisa collapsed completely. Jasky quickly took off his hat, intending to use his Star Point to leap over, but unexpectedly, the ceiling above also collapsed. Frantically, Jasky heard Bunny shout, "Watch out from above!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVhs4Ea60
"Oh no!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQcCx4M78a
At the critical moment, a large amount of water vapor emerged from the other end of the door and forcefully dragged Amisa, Jasky, and Rabbitus into the Portal of Harmony, with Mido following behind. Only one second remained on the clock.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiVTsT0HXw
Rumbling and crashing sounds echoed as the "Realm of Earcolors" completely collapsed, and the massive speaker assembly sealed shut after sucking everyone inside, while the vast electronic jungle was crushed under the debris.
