Part 5. The unspoken implication

"It's me." Jasky heard the familiar voice and slowly lowered his hand, raising his head.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjtldLFg3T
"You cleared the level?" Jasky asked with a puzzled look.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mFQa8Nhm7
"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."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD6yPMmdh1
"But those telephones won't..."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOuBckgOwy
"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."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhScvxT1tgr
Toosb looked cautiously ahead as the loudspeakers of the record players approached again, causing Jasky's legs to tremble uncontrollably.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zK6P0hGbf
"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."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBwlpCDVD4
"..." Jasky extended his hand and let Toosb pull him up.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuQcAEpQya
"To pass this level, you must gather the courage to confront them. When you're scared, think of Amisa's affirmations!"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSLB4Tj3k6
Jasky blushed and turned his face away. "I didn't expect you to be reliable too..."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWhkaoZbcT
"Haha! I just went through a tough time myself. No time to waste. Are you ready?" Toosb noticed the floor starting to shake.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzcqwmivPG
Jasky nodded. "Okay."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJz0gOA1JN
"Alright, on the count of three, let's charge forward! One, two, three, go!"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbBWAq13Do
With unwavering determination, the two of them rushed forward, and the record players and radios responded by turning the volume to the maximum:
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ChcLB8TrT
Fatso!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp29nxh7QX
Disgusting guy!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPjzeSLMIH
Hey, fatty, get lost!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyy0wfduQq
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!"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIodxiuc4cR
"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:
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY7UzUem8e
Do you still want me as your mom?
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F2l8XsCCY
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaripN8xnKY
"Did you find it?" Toosb caught up.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKkaH2khg6
"Quiet." Jasky held the record player tightly and listened attentively.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37VLbmT9iz
"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?"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRmF1Rtbtj
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl77gsLvyhV
Amisa asked curiously from the side, "Did you cry?"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ou3TSrK2d
"No," Jasky wiped away the tears that had accidentally escaped and stood up. "Let's go and help Amisa."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrcTUpzdns
"Oh, oh! I just went to check on her. She said she would handle it herself and asked me to come and help you."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XmFNBWuPI
"Ah... I can't believe she was worried about me."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqdh58rfom
"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?"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycx1Rb10Ae
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mido's panicked expression, Jasky realized something was off. "Did something happen to Amisa?"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1w0xB1Dqc
"I hope not!"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuavK6EhKl
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:
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYkCzwm2QE
"Amisa, your singing is amazing! Better than any kid in the world~"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFYNLBsyam
"What else can you do besides dreaming every day? Do you think you're a princess?"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ZIavRhPk
"Are you still releasing albums? You shameless thing."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4FpvI1PVR
Amisa gave up struggling and let the headphones and microphones entangle her while the insults continued. An uncomfortable black glow emanated from her pockets.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8tk9l1Qii
"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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt3k1XdbTu
"Birdie, hand me the component first. Silly bunny, go check if there's a Portal of Harmony nearby."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtdQud6rZV
"Huh? Aren't we going to save Amisa first?"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQYvBijSmo
"We don't have time. Find the portal first, or we'll all die here."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGcDlARvFl
"Okay, I got it."
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxcVYgLKFF
"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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruPZksRmeH
"There's no portal anywhere!" Jasky shouted anxiously.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjwquSHR95
"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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi5oGnZtay
"Shy guy, save Amisa!"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNOdOQeeXY
"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!"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMzDHFI5Sh
"Oh no!"
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A0s4acwdY
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPbiZ0GFF1
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.
