Part 5. The unspoken implication

"It's me." Jasky heard the familiar voice and slowly lowered his hand, raising his head.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHSB3DJxxE
"You cleared the level?" Jasky asked with a puzzled look.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5THJ54b1
"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."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRhWzZ4f72
"But those telephones won't..."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AlcBpu1ut
"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."

Toosb looked cautiously ahead as the loudspeakers of the record players approached again, causing Jasky's legs to tremble uncontrollably.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsEb4R4XYg
"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."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpeMqD85J0
"..." Jasky extended his hand and let Toosb pull him up.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAas6udt9K
"To pass this level, you must gather the courage to confront them. When you're scared, think of Amisa's affirmations!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPtJPC9TXT
Jasky blushed and turned his face away. "I didn't expect you to be reliable too..."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0JU0hdPDi
"Haha! I just went through a tough time myself. No time to waste. Are you ready?" Toosb noticed the floor starting to shake.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNYdRBs7bm
Jasky nodded. "Okay."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7tclQMAsG
"Alright, on the count of three, let's charge forward! One, two, three, go!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7OSfBu5ZU
With unwavering determination, the two of them rushed forward, and the record players and radios responded by turning the volume to the maximum:
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe038xFL8F6
Fatso!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbo5hSLEXO
Disgusting guy!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTpYSley8O
Hey, fatty, get lost!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOPV3cNz0l
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!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFk0GAXlqe
"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:
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9XCcYtOby
Do you still want me as your mom?
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwXV1ZwPng
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WkQ73tdCz
"Did you find it?" Toosb caught up.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWzsmCloxZ
"Quiet." Jasky held the record player tightly and listened attentively.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV4cOFevLp
"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?"

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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M7YBBsrpV
Amisa asked curiously from the side, "Did you cry?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1g5HmTyTQ
"No," Jasky wiped away the tears that had accidentally escaped and stood up. "Let's go and help Amisa."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WdsAkzs2
"Oh, oh! I just went to check on her. She said she would handle it herself and asked me to come and help you."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6jBn6IdpL
"Ah... I can't believe she was worried about me."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP2QRJoIUk
"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?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaexjXLVcL
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mido's panicked expression, Jasky realized something was off. "Did something happen to Amisa?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiC2oSsQny
"I hope not!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4VLMn5ZXY
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:
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDRsRXqHJr
"Amisa, your singing is amazing! Better than any kid in the world~"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK3m2eLXNl
"What else can you do besides dreaming every day? Do you think you're a princess?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibOx7cLcmm
"Are you still releasing albums? You shameless thing."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4QDMFrsaT
Amisa gave up struggling and let the headphones and microphones entangle her while the insults continued. An uncomfortable black glow emanated from her pockets.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK0dDRk8jO
"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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQI0zueaPF
"Birdie, hand me the component first. Silly bunny, go check if there's a Portal of Harmony nearby."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUdY2kWcKH
"Huh? Aren't we going to save Amisa first?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82rXVXD8ok
"We don't have time. Find the portal first, or we'll all die here."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6El03Gg8BP
"Okay, I got it."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMEwU7lTZt
"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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzb8JoiwS1
"There's no portal anywhere!" Jasky shouted anxiously.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXiaNqpq3
"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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9yrfL5slw
"Shy guy, save Amisa!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyC8jmM96i
"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!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oKaZK3NuI
"Oh no!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cWEiXOMnj
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb9YxDwsAM
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.
