Led by Gallagher, the group took the lead and arrived at the cemetery once again.

March 7th looked at the three tombstones before her, a complex expression on her face. "Back here again..."

Gallagher looked at the blank monument and said with some melancholy, "Old friend, sometimes I forget that you are dead. It's as if you still have so much to say and so many roads to travel."

"Now, I've kept my promise and brought the descendants you've cherished your whole life. I don't know why you can never forget that train, but I still remember the last words you spoke before you left this world..."

He took a deep breath and stepped forward. "Don't let us down, old man."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire platform seemed to respond to his words, and suddenly it shook violently.

March 7th swayed left and right, looking panicked, "What's going on?! The platform is starting to shake violently..."

As she watched, the platform and the surrounding buildings began to rise and extend upwards, emitting a thunderous roar.

As the view continued to rise, dazzling beams of light came into view. With the roads and buildings closing in seamlessly, the final destination became clear.

[Honkai Impact 3 - Kiana: W-How can this building actually rise from the ground?!]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Mei: ...As expected of a dream, anything can happen...]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Tesla: That's nothing. Give me enough funding, and I can create similar effects in reality.]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Einstein: Dr. Tesla, I don't think now is the time to focus on this.]

[Genshin Impact - Navia: Yeah, yeah, isn't it time to reveal the final mystery now!]

[Genshin Impact - Iris: What kind of gift will the renowned "Clockmaker" leave for future pioneers? It's truly something to look forward to! What does Klee think?]

[Genshin Impact - Klee: Mom, me too! Me too!]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: Could it be something like shares in Pinocchio?]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: It shouldn't be, right? Otherwise, Mr. Ragwalker wouldn't have told Mr. Gallagher it was a gift for "Pioneers".]

on the screen.

Gallagher looked up at the garden in front of him, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Go forward, his destination... is in the garden ahead."

"Pinocconi's first and last anonymous customer—"

"The watchmaker, Ragvolk Charles Mikhail."

Everyone remained silent, simply nodding as they walked toward the finish line.

Stepping over the stairs, in the garden closest to the full moon reflected in the water beneath the sea of ​​memories, an old man leans back in an armchair, silent and still.

"The Watchmaker"—Ragvolk Charles Mikhail—has already embarked on that endless dream, and no sound can awaken him anymore.

Looking at the old man, now fast asleep in his armchair, March 7th felt a pang of sadness. "As expected… the 'Watchmaker' was the third nameless visitor. Even I guessed it."

[Starry Sky Railway - Star: "Even I" is hilarious.]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7th: Hey, hey, hey, don't laugh! This girl is just self-aware... uh, no, no! This is because she has a clear understanding of herself, um, that's it!]

[Starry Sky Railway - Dan Heng: In some ways, this is a good thing.]

【Starry Sky Railway March 7th: Dan Heng, you too... (Incredible.jpg)】

on the screen.

Gallagher gestured for everyone to look at the conspicuous dream bubble in Mikhail's hand. "His legacy is a dream bubble. I guess it contains something that is only meaningful to the Nameless Guest."

"After all, when I checked the contents, I found nothing inside... It's probably some kind of 'Pioneer' cipher, even more mysterious than me."

At this point, Gallagher shrugged helplessly.

[Starry Sky Railway - Star: Fictional Historian: More Mysterious Than Me.jpg]

Himeko: "Hmm, let's take a look."

After speaking, Himeko nodded slightly to Hoshi.

Xing took a deep breath, steadied herself, and looked towards "The Clockmaker"...

She pressed her hand against the dream bubble, and the thick, viscous memory force gathered together, stretching outwards from her fingertips as if weaving a fine net, gently supporting her palm.

A cool sensation came from my fingertips.

Based on experience, along with this sensation, there should be all sorts of colorful and intricate phantom memories... but this time, Xing saw nothing.

"How could this be?" Xing scratched her head in confusion, clearly the situation before her was not within the scope of her understanding.

This dream bubble was clearly unusual—perhaps the method was wrong, she thought, holding her breath, closing her eyes, kneeling on one knee, and pressing her forehead against the thin membrane covering the memory.

However, everything in front of her remained pitch black.

There was no sunset over the snow-capped mountains, no laughter, no stars, no gunshots or sword flashes, and no "pioneering"... nothing at all.

empty.

Without a doubt, this is an "empty dream bubble".

Xing opened her eyes again, frowning as she looked at the dream bubble in front of her.

"Huh? What's going on..." March 7th looked at Xing with some curiosity and placed her hand on it. "This dream bubble... there's really nothing there?!"

Seeing the unexpected happen, Himeko frowned and pondered the various possibilities.

"How could this be?" March 7th stared wide-eyed, utterly baffled.

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7th: Huh? No, how could it be an empty dream bubble?]

[Starry Sky Railway - Star: Huh? You're asking me? .jpg]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: Reflection.jpg]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7th: Could it be that the senior deliberately gave us this empty dream bubble, intending to metaphorically tell us that the path of "pioneering" requires us to forge our own way?]

[Starry Sky Railway - Dan Heng: ...I don't think it's that complicated.]

on the screen.

Gallagher scoffed and crossed his arms. "Hmph, well, I knew it."

"He always had an inexplicable confidence in the nameless passengers. In his plans, 'pioneers' always had a place, and I don't know where this confidence came from... He never managed to contact the train while he was alive."

"I've never understood what this old man was thinking, but this empty dream bubble really has his style. It's filled with nonsensical fantasies... and an incomprehensible romanticism."

At this point, he closed his eyes. "Old rascal... I never expected him to leave any tricks up his sleeve."

After a long silence, Himeko finally spoke, "No, Mr. Galakh. I think Mikhail will definitely leave us the most precious things."

Gallagher looked at Himeko and laughed, "Heh, you're not going to start spouting some grand principles now, are you?"

Himeko gently shook her head and said, "Just as Mikhail believed in the nameless travelers of the future, we will unconditionally believe in the nameless travelers of the past. They were willing to dedicate their lives to the land they loved, so how could they leave in haste with regrets about the future?"

"This dream bubble must contain something, we just haven't figured it out yet. Mr. Gallagher, you feel the same way about believing in the 'watchmaker,' don't you?"

"I'm a believer in 'mystical' destiny; my philosophy of life is to believe in nothing."

Gallagher turned to look at the sleeping Mikhail, his expression suddenly softening considerably.

"...So I also understand what 'belief' means for 'pioneering.' I also want to know what he left behind. Ah, it's up to you."

Himeko closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Could I borrow your pet for a moment? I need to return to 'Golden Hour' to check some things at the Dream Shop..."

"For Mikhail, and for the future of Pinocchio."
