Star Dome: The opening made Black Tower regret for life

"On behalf of the dreamer of Pinoconi and the 107,336 compatriots of the Oak family, I would like to formally invite you all."

"We sincerely invite you to come to the Pinocchio Theater to participate in the upcoming Harmony Festival. Of course, you will not be in the audience seats, but in the center of the stage."

"This concerns the future of the star core, Pinocchio, and even the entire galaxy. To be fair, let's see what happens there."

"Since you believe in Akivalli's path, show me his courage and enlightenment."

......

A black private car passed by the streets of Grax Avenue at golden hour. The Harmony Festival was approaching, and Pinocchio was bustling with people, revealing a kind of restlessness before the arrival of the joyous festival.

Pinocchio's news program said that the unknown guests from the Starry Sky Train would soon attend the Harmony Festival as invited guests, which caused quite a stir in the outside world.

Some people speculate that the unknown passengers of the Star Train will restart the same enthusiasm as in the pioneering era, while others say that the family is inclusive and has already embraced pioneering.

The Starry Sky Train team sat in the back seat of this luxurious stretched train. Sanyueqi and Jizi chose seats by the windows on both sides, Jiang Fan sat next to the small refrigerator, and Xingzhi sat between them.

From leaving the audition venue not long ago until now, the atmosphere in the car has been very subtle. No one spoke, but just thought silently.

Xing's current situation is also very delicate. In name, she is an unknown passenger on the train who is practicing the free will of the pioneering star god Akivali.

Privately, he has a "life-long" friendship with the Immortal Star God and regards Him as his adoptive father. In secret, he is even being watched by the leader of the Harmonious Family...

If Ao Shuang found out that she was "indecisive", she would definitely end up being stabbed to death on the street by that woman.

Maybe she would considerately cover herself with a piece of cloth with the words "Those who are indecisive will be put to death!" written on it. Then passers-by would definitely think she was having an affair and get rid of her, and she might be infamous for eternity.

San Yueqi turned her head and saw Xing staring at the hat in her hand in a daze, her pupils constricted and reflecting the colorful light, and sweat slightly oozing from her forehead.

"Uncle Yang and Miss Iris are hostages, and didn't we say on Sunday that Pinocchio would not allow any deaths." March 7 said softly, "Are you worried about this too?"

"No... I was wondering if I would be stabbed to death..."

March 7 turned his head back silently.

"Sometimes being popular can be a burden." Xing weighed the hat in his hand, sighing, "Being glanced at by the Harmonious Star God Xipei, does this mean that I have the potential to embark on a Harmonious destiny?"

"That's great, even you have hidden powers... When can we also have hidden powers?" Sanyueqi bit her lip, staring at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, the endless stream of traffic reflected in her pupils.

"Hidden power? Are you referring to my hidden backup energy?" Xing pointed to his chest. "Don't look at me like this. I used to be a loser. Instead of waiting for power to come to me, it's better to find power myself and explore my potential."

Before? What about now? Jiang Fan looked at Xing silently for a few seconds and found that she was still the same loser. She hadn't changed at all.

"Instead of waiting for strength to come to you...why not find strength yourself and explore your own potential?" March Seven pondered over this sentence, with a gleam in his eyes.

......

An hour ago, at the hot sand moment - on the final stage of the Suleda audition venue, after Sunday left, on the huge stage with spotlights, only the members of the train group and Jiang Fan, who was still resting with his eyes closed, were left.

"Does he mean that we should go to the Harmonious Music Festival to compete?" San Yue Qi touched his chin.

"I'm afraid that's what it means." Liuying said softly.

"How weird! I was always on guard against when the villain would cause trouble, but in the end he said something about fairness... Could it be that he didn't take us seriously at all?"

"Maybe you feel uncomfortable with my presence." Xing said lightly, "But this Hongmen Banquet, Sunday played it very low-level, do you really think I'm Liu Bang?"

"Ah? Who is Liu Bang?" Some people were confused, showing their illiterate nature.

"Don't worry about Liu Bang or not, just know that this is the Hongmen Banquet set up for us on Sunday." Xing narrowed his eyes, "It's a bit bad. With so much praise and such a warm invitation, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Jiang Fan if I don't go?"

"Huh? Embarrass me?" Jiang Fan really couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Think about it, the other side has 107,336 people, and we only have five people. This is a first defeat. Think about it again, the other side has the home advantage, and we came from afar, so this is a second defeat."

"Think about it again. The other side is full of confidence and has been planning for a long time. We are in a hurry and respond hastily. This is a triple defeat!" Xing raised three fingers with a serious face. "This is terrible. We are now in a dilemma."

"In my opinion, Sunday has no doubts about his ideals, and he sincerely wants to prove the correctness of order to us." Ji Zi said softly, "From him, I feel a strong belief and desire to dominate. If he can't win fairly, I guess he won't be able to give himself an explanation."

"That is why he will definitely go all out in the next match."

"But aren't you worried that this is a Hongmen Banquet? Maybe there are a hundred thousand swordsmen hiding in the theater, and what if they hear the signal of smashing cups on Sunday and rush out to hack us to death?" Xing felt that they were still too naive and did not have her wisdom and scheming!

"There is no death in Pinocchio under the family's rule, and the paradise of his dreams will not allow death. In my opinion, this is a fair contest." Jizi said.

"Well... Sister Ji Zi is right. We have even dealt with two Lords of Destruction, so maintaining order will surely be no problem!" March Seven tightened his face and encouraged himself.

"We? Does dealing with the Lord of Destruction have anything to do with you, please?" Xing said lightly with a crooked mouth, "I drove the Beloberg, and I contributed to the Immortal Boat Alliance. I am clearly the hero."

"If you ask me, Sunday doesn't dare to fight with us now. Maybe it's because he is afraid of my existence. This Hongmen Banquet may be set up specifically for me."

"Then you go to the meeting alone?" Jiang Fan couldn't help it, thinking, I've already pretended for you, why should I pretend?

"Bullshit! From now on, I will fight alongside you and never leave your side! Don't even think about leaving me alone!" Xing's face was determined.

"No matter what, the Star Train cannot sit idly by and watch the Star Core." Ji Zi nodded. "Opening up the future for Pinocchio is also the long-cherished wish of Mikhail and other predecessors. Now that we have taken over the baton, we must not let them down."

"But this is also the case for the Order. Their plan did not happen overnight. Behind it is a huge consciousness that has been nurtured by the Star of the Gala for hundreds of years." Liuying said.

"The desire to dream, the laziness to sleep, as well as the desire to escape and give up...the emotions that are unconsciously stimulated in people have become the cradle of the dream of order."

"Using the will of the entire world to promote the birth of a star god... This duel is by no means a simple clash of power. For the future of Pinocchio, you cannot be the only ones fighting on the stage." Liuying took a deep breath.

"We? Aren't you going with us? Then how can I protect you?" Xing was stunned.

"I think what Miss Liuying meant is that she is going to another battlefield," Ji Zi explained.

"Yes." Liuying said, "Before I set out, the slave of fate told me that this trip would bring me unforgettable gains. The script he gave me only had a few lines, but it was hard to ignore."

"Because one of the lines says...I will experience three deaths in the dreamland."

"three times?"

"The first time was a pain like death. My body was pierced by the dormant wing blades. That's when all the stories that followed came about. The script will definitely come true, but the situation...will only be revealed when that page is turned."

"So now, I have understood the meaning of the second death, and I will put it into action. If everything goes well, this will provide you with vital support." Liuying explained.

"Only by winning this victory can Pinocchio have a future. Only in this way can the third and final death that has not yet come not appear in the worst form."

"How bad will the worst be? Will we all die?" Xing was a little impatient.

"True death... everyone in Pinocchio will be forever lost in the dream of order," Himeko explained.

"But that sounds pretty good..." Xing muttered to himself.

"That is a future we must avoid at all costs," Liuying said.

"Miss Liuying, are you...ready prepared?" Ji Zi stared into Liuying's eyes.

"Well, if not, I wouldn't come here." Liuying did not avoid Ji Zi's gaze, but met her gaze.

"Thank you again for your help with the Star Train. I hope we can meet again in reality." After a moment of silence, Ji Zi nodded.

"Well, goodbye, everyone. May your pioneering journey never end." Liuying glanced at Jiang Fan out of the corner of her eye and happened to meet his eyes, so she nodded slightly.

The dome lights of the audition stage suddenly cracked, and the last stage actually went straight to the golden moment, and the center of the stage rose and fell, which happened to be the bustling Grax Avenue.

Xing was thinking about how to deal with the Hongmen Banquet when he suddenly realized that the entire stage was shaking slightly, like a rock hanging on a volcano that was about to erupt and could fly into the sky at any time.

She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Fan and found that he had stood up without her knowing and was waving goodbye to Liuying. She was so angry that her nose almost became crooked.

"Fuck you! I'm going to file a complaint. I must file a complaint! I'm going to sue you for picking up girls!" Xing muttered, and stood up and waved at Liuying.

The flames danced wildly and rose up, the wanton flames surrounded Liuying's body as it climbed up fiercely. She took a last deep look at the train set that was being lifted up by the stage and rising rapidly, with a smile on her lips.

"I dreamed of a scorched earth and a new bud that broke through the soil. It bloomed in the morning sun and whispered to me... Fireflies fly into fire, dying to live. I hope we will meet again in the sober reality."

Jiang Fan stared at Sam's departing back through the dim flames. After making sure that the red had disappeared from his sight, he slowly turned around and pressed Xing's face, which was trying to get closer, with one hand, with an expressionless face.

"People will experience three deaths in their lifetime. The first is physiological death, which can be painful or happy. When you stop breathing and your heart stops beating, you are biologically declared dead."

"The second time was when she was buried, her body returned to the earth, people came to her funeral, mourned her, and any civilization and society removed her from the list."

"The third time is when the last person who remembers her forgets her. That's when she is truly dead and completely disappears from this world."

"Three deaths, slave to fate...it won't be long before we meet."

......

The car stopped, and the driver in a black suit opened the door, put his hands on his trouser line and bowed deeply, looking very attentive and saying nothing.

Among the colorful buildings flashing neon lights everywhere, such a magnificent building hanging in the sky seems very abrupt. It is like the sun in a dream in the night, guiding all the lost people.

"We're back here again. It's completed so quickly?" Xing looked up at the magnificent theater.

It turns out that the Grand Theater has an extraordinary status in Pinocchio. It is no wonder that the head of the Iris family chose this place as the venue for the dinner.

"Stop mumbling and don't trust your eyes too much." Jiang Fan patted Xing's shoulder, signaling her not to waste time.

"But didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Xing grumbled and followed him in a few steps.

The next issue of Light Cone will be released. We will prepare the story content.
