I just wanted you to make a movie: You made a Honkai Star Rail movie

They finally understood where the suspense and mystery in Penacony came from.

It’s like a game of Werewolf, Stelle is the good guy.

Together with Stelle’s perspective, they have to discern who among the people around her is genuinely good and who is the wolf or the bad guy.

The good guys might stay silent, while the wolves might mislead with their actions.

While playing Werewolf, they must also uncover the true secrets of Penacony.

For the fans, this viewing experience was absolutely thrilling!

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

...

: This movie-watching experience has surpassed even Xianzhou’s level—it’s absolutely amazing, MiHoYo!

: What is Director Xia’s brain made of? It’s unbelievable! This Chapter will definitely become a classic among classics!

: I can’t wait to start theorizing about the four wolves now.

: The Astral Express must be the good guys. Aventurine might be a visible wolf, but there could be other hidden wolf teammates in the background.

: As for Acheron, it’s hard to say right now—there are some unclear red clues around.

: Acheron might be a bold, false-jumping wolf! Or perhaps a good person who knows something but can’t say it.

: As for Sunday and Robin, the current intel is pretty good. Let’s wait for their statements before drawing conclusions.

: Don’t forget, there are still so many characters yet to appear.

....

After having some leads.

The audience engaged in lively discussions in the comments section about the characters who had appeared so far.

They eagerly tagged each one.

Meanwhile, Stelle was ready to enter the dream.

In a shell like bed, she closed her eyes.

In her ears, the soothing sound of the hotel’s gentle rain played.

”Relax and feel the rise and fall of your body.”

”Focus on your breathing and imagine a paradise...”

”Imagine a land of dreams.”

Rainbow-colored bubbles rose from the water, gradually enveloping Stelle’s entire body.

The soft narration and sleep-assisting ambiance drew even the previously chatty audience into the story.

The bullet comments gradually became sparse.

The orange, relaxing lights, the floating whales in the sky, and the massive clock...

One strange vision after another appeared on the screen.

The music was calm and peaceful.

Stelle completely closed her eyes.

But at this moment, faint sobbing gradually grew louder.

”Woo-woo-woo... Mikhail.”

Newspapers, light streams, and TVs.

Chaotic, disordered images flashed one after another.

The peaceful music was interrupted by drumbeats.

The crying grew even more sorrowful.

”...Come back! Mikhail!!”

With the heart-wrenching cry, two sudden, rapid drumbeats played.

Stelle’s appearance alternated twice with another face in sync with the drumbeats.

The previously excited audience fell silent, shocked by the unsettling imagery.

....

: Damn! It scared me so much I jumped!

: So creepy, what the hell was that sound?

: That crying really got me. Damn, it’s so haunting. The visuals aren’t scary by themselves, but paired with that crying, it got me so bad.

: As expected, the drama never makes things straightforward—always some cryptic twists!

: Aside from these characters playing the wolf game, there must be some earth-shattering truth behind Penacony.

: Who is Mikhail? A new name just popped up out of nowhere.

....

On the screen, accompanied by the eerie background sounds, the scene transitioned smoothly.

It shifted to another room in the hotel.

When the audience saw the two people in the room, they momentarily forgot their earlier fright.

”Don’t look so gloomy, Ratio. Hey, I just noticed—where’s your handsome plaster head?” Aventurine joked lightly.

”You’re late. Exactly 4 minutes and 16 seconds. You’d better have solved the mystery of Akivili’s fall in that time, or else...”

”Then I’d advise you not to mess with the Nameless.” Ratio coldly glanced at Aventurine.

”Mess with them? You think so too?”

”Doesn’t anyone believe I just want to be friends with them?” Aventurine tilted his head, replying with what seemed like genuine sincerity.

”Noisy guys can’t make friends. Here’s a fun fact: the Avgin Peacock is one of the most unpleasant-sounding birds in the universe.”

”And your outfit looks just like a flashy peacock. Looks like this peacock has had its feathers plucked.”

”Your formal attire was confiscated by The Family?” Ratio’s sharp tongue was in full force.

But Aventurine remained unfazed.

Through their conversation.

The news of Aventurine’s confiscated attire and Akivili’s downfall revealed more to the audience.

After hearing enough, Ratio turned to leave without looking back.

”Without that ’Aventurine Stone,’ you’re just a Avgin slave sentenced to death by the IPC...”

”Or is your neck feeling tight under The Family’s leash?” Ratio’s disdainful tone turned sharper.

Unusually, Aventurine, who usually smiled at such remarks, seemed momentarily subdued.

But then, he smirked and replied, ”Not bad, Ratio. Looks like our well-read friend is learning quickly.”

”This is my job. Otherwise, how does a gambler recover Penacony for the IPC?”

Ratio paused, observing this gambler’s words with curiosity.

”Relax, Ratio, I have my ways.”

”The Family fears the company stirring trouble, which is why there’s constant friction. For all we know, Penacony might’ve been a ploy orchestrated by Harmony all along.”

”If you ask me, the invitation was just a smokescreen, and maybe they’re planning something outrageous at the Charmony Festival.”

”Or perhaps the inviter has other motives, and the family plans to turn the tables.”

”But it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s The Family or the Watchmaker’s legacy, as long as it’s useful to me, it’s fine.”

The information Aventurine revealed matched the Express group’s analysis.

But this time, the audience was even more convinced that the Charmony Festival and The Family held deeper, untold secrets.

”Get to the point. What’s your plan?” Ratio, uninterested in Aventurine’s lengthy monologue, cut him off. ”Anyone with normal intelligence could figure this out.”

”It’s not time to reveal my hand yet. No need to spell everything out.” Aventurine replied earnestly.

”Damn gambler. Does the education for Avgin slaves include arrogance these days?” Ratio’s words were cold and cutting.

....

: So satisfying, Ratio! That scolding hit the spot!

: Just now in the hall, he was so aggressive toward the Express Crew, but in front of Ratio, he went silent!

: Civilized insults really hit differently. Ratio’s got me cheering!

: How insulting! Aventurine really looks like a ”jumping wolf.” Although I don’t know how he got involved with Ratio.

: Don’t even think about dragging Ratio down. With Ratio’s intelligence, he will surely guard against Aventurine.

: Now this is truly satisfying. I could jump out of bed laughing even in the middle of the night.

...

Aggressive words. It thoroughly satisfied fans who already disliked Aventurine.

”Do you trust me?” However, at this moment, Aventurine asked back with a smile.

Facing Ratio’s silence, he remained indifferent and said to himself, ”So you don’t trust me either, do you? Doesn’t that settle it?”

”And yes, I haven’t studied, and my parents didn’t teach me this. It’s a pity, but they didn’t have the chance to teach me before passing away.”

After finishing his sentence, Ratio’s expression softened slightly, ”Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend.”

The barrage of ”how insulting” comments on the screen instantly came to a halt, as if cut off.

...

: Hmm, let’s just say Aventurine’s character is a limited kind of ”likable.”

: Although it’s a bit pitiful, I still don’t like his personality.

: True.

: But let’s comment ”no offense” anyway.

...

The fans were kind.

But in reality, Aventurine was quite at ease with the situation.

He didn’t dwell on it too much and immediately shifted to a serious topic.

”But they did teach me one thing—that is, the more friends, the better.”

”Let me think. The Masked Fools and the Astral Express have already been contacted, and the Annihilation Gang... probably won’t work out.”

”The Pure Knights haven’t confirmed if they’ll accept the invitation yet, and those ’Masked Fools’ seem to have no clear stance.”

Aventurine turned his back, thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something important, ”Speaking of which, I just ran into a woman who called herself a Galaxy Ranger.”

”I have a feeling something’s off. Can you investigate her background for me?”

But before he could finish speaking,

Ratio had already disappeared.

”Sigh, does he really hate me that much? Looks like I’ll have to rely on myself again.” Aventurine sighed bitterly, turned, and headed toward the Dream Pool.

...

: Aventurine’s new round of statements hit Acheron hard and also pointed out several other factions. Do you have any insights, everyone?

: Targeting Acheron like this isn’t a good move. For me, Aventurine is clearly a wolf—forget it, let’s vote for him!

: Let’s observe a bit more. Aventurine could possibly be neutral.

: But Acheron is indeed suspicious. After all, red subtitles are unprecedented. Could it be that Aventurine is from the good side but doesn’t know how to talk? And Acheron is the wolf?

: Aventurine’s intentions are strong—this is indisputable.

: Argh, I can’t take it anymore! This group is full of cryptic people. Is there no ordinary villager who’s obviously good at first glance?

...

Perhaps it was the loss of both parents, combined with Aventurine’s clear attitude and goals.

It made it hard for fans to pin him down.

At this moment, the scene shifted to Stelle’s perspective.

Still in the same hotel setup as before, but the surrounding sections had become a blueprint for Dream.

...

Stelle scratched her head and climbed up, looking utterly confused.

”This isn’t what the manual said?” she surveyed the surroundings.

Just then, a burst of static and garbled broadcast noise sounded.

”Dream ■■■ Hotel ■■■ under renovation.”

”Please ■■ follow ■■ instructions to ■■ enter ■■.”

The static-filled voice made it impossible for the audience to understand.

But when they looked at the subtitles, they were even more bewildered.

This time, it was worse than the red subtitles!

Various pieces of information were covered by squares.

It looked like some kind of foundation report!

Already eerie enough, Misha’s voice inexplicably echoed in the room again, making the audience’s hair stand on end.

It was like ”eerie” opened the door for ”eerie,” and it reached a whole new level.

Stelle also found it strange, but she wasn’t too scared. Instead, after some searching, she found a note.

It read: ”Even in dreams, impossible things can happen. Find it, and you’ll gain an audience.”

After storing the note, Stelle followed Misha’s guidance into the Corridor of Thoughts, where she encountered the child who called himself the hotel bellboy again.

Stelle and Misha started chatting.

When Stelle mentioned he still remembered Misha, Misha became very happy.

Then, he began explaining the dream world in detail, like a proper hotel bellboy.

However, the broken surroundings and the random, floating staircases in the void made it hard for the audience to believe Misha was harmless.

Is entering dreams through Penacony supposed to be like this? It feels more like a creepy urban legend!

Anyway, every time Misha appeared, bizarre phenomena would follow.

Fortunately, this time, the wary audience wasn’t startled anymore.

They watched as Stelle, led by Misha, entered a strange painting.

With the ticking of a clock and the sound of soothing music, when Stelle opened her eyes again, she was floating in the sky. Below her was a majestic, otherworldly scene, a sight of unparalleled beauty impossible to witness in reality.

Along the way, she even performed a free fall from ten thousand meters in the air.

No matter how twisty the journey, this plunge from the skies convinced the wary audience—now she’s truly in the dream world.

...

: ... I have to say, the pacing and flow are intense.

: The rhythm and information density are way too tight, but next, we should be able to catch a breather.

: I refuse to believe they can keep this constant brain-burning pace for an entire episode.

: True, if this continues, my brain’s going to explode.
