Part 5. The unspoken implication

"It's me." Jasky heard the familiar voice and slowly lowered his hand, raising his head.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqnBEyIWnp
"You cleared the level?" Jasky asked with a puzzled look.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otQZWhZiG
"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."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLciDcrW8uY
"But those telephones won't..."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv781d0014Y
"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."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBA5yn4HfX
Toosb looked cautiously ahead as the loudspeakers of the record players approached again, causing Jasky's legs to tremble uncontrollably.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLczAysiFbZ
"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."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mceLMbqoq
"..." Jasky extended his hand and let Toosb pull him up.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsDe9HXHTW
"To pass this level, you must gather the courage to confront them. When you're scared, think of Amisa's affirmations!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg21m2oQVx
Jasky blushed and turned his face away. "I didn't expect you to be reliable too..."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJAMeAB02L
"Haha! I just went through a tough time myself. No time to waste. Are you ready?" Toosb noticed the floor starting to shake.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ktSgm4iz
Jasky nodded. "Okay."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fz2BFpiys
"Alright, on the count of three, let's charge forward! One, two, three, go!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdf1pXrCOU
With unwavering determination, the two of them rushed forward, and the record players and radios responded by turning the volume to the maximum:
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvtFT79llM
Fatso!
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUsaQnSHlZ
Disgusting guy!
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQivqDTya
Hey, fatty, get lost!
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9IsB08lE3
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!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTrrKBNEp0
"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:
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBwWWS7XEN
Do you still want me as your mom?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO9vel1rvO
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ssWcg3k7B
"Did you find it?" Toosb caught up.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcVHWJzRGb
"Quiet." Jasky held the record player tightly and listened attentively.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC9vjAnee6
"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?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1721P5q3M3
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOCuIC2xi1
Amisa asked curiously from the side, "Did you cry?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZzvTrDmq
"No," Jasky wiped away the tears that had accidentally escaped and stood up. "Let's go and help Amisa."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP4XociLtR
"Oh, oh! I just went to check on her. She said she would handle it herself and asked me to come and help you."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXEiTpZbs3
"Ah... I can't believe she was worried about me."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF3zCkfxBx
"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?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOaOIgnvTR
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mido's panicked expression, Jasky realized something was off. "Did something happen to Amisa?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXmSTCLKuS
"I hope not!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVhgk6gQA8
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:
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6lutHf5xz
"Amisa, your singing is amazing! Better than any kid in the world~"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp0oPIw5by
"What else can you do besides dreaming every day? Do you think you're a princess?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4COeJZMP2j
"Are you still releasing albums? You shameless thing."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHs8ZjYYFG
Amisa gave up struggling and let the headphones and microphones entangle her while the insults continued. An uncomfortable black glow emanated from her pockets.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdkq7RSW3W
"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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Bxgx91Pg
"Birdie, hand me the component first. Silly bunny, go check if there's a Portal of Harmony nearby."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC7u6f6Dqs
"Huh? Aren't we going to save Amisa first?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjINn3W0QPh
"We don't have time. Find the portal first, or we'll all die here."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyy0dgRwil
"Okay, I got it."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPFfo5jTwR
"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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF7Syo4txq
"There's no portal anywhere!" Jasky shouted anxiously.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIqAeRSKkk
"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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvzWVC75QC
"Shy guy, save Amisa!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTTsJSqRrX
"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!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpqMg34qTp
"Oh no!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH053VNd9oz
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzWr4Gm9UE
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.
