Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

Continued from last time...

In a trance, Qiong saw a red fish swimming between him and Liuying. He murmured softly, "What's going on? Can fish swim on land?"

Moreover... he seemed to hear "Sambo" say something... "I'm sorry, for the commission... I have to ask you... to do it in the real "dream"..."

However, Qiong suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing, because in the second half of this sentence, he found that Sambo's male voice turned into a playful female voice with a lot of badness.

Then the female voice continued: "...Take a nap~"

Then, Qiong felt "Sambo's" hand flicking his forehead, and then he passed out. In the last second before he passed out, his inner voice was -

"Brother Chen Ye, is there anything you can't talk about in person? Why do you want to weaken me and then let this guy in front of you cause trouble?"

(Chen Ye: If I tell you, will you still be with Liu Ying? This CP—! I really want to ship it!)

When Qiong opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dim room. He held his head with his hand and thought doubtfully -

"Um...where is this place?"

Thinking of this, Qiong DER suddenly jumped up, because he knew that it was definitely Brother Chen Ye's doing that caused him to faint so easily.

But he believed that Brother Chen Ye must have his own reasons for doing this. You know... from the "Black Tower Space Station" to the "Xianzhou Luofu", and then from the "Xianzhou Luofu" to here - "Star of the Event·Pinoconi".

None of the decisions made by Brother Chen Ye were disadvantageous to him, so he firmly believed that there must be a reason why Brother Chen Ye asked him to come here.

So, he began to observe the surrounding environment. At first, because the decoration was too similar to the private room in his daydream hotel in reality, he thought he was back in the hotel.

But...if you think about it carefully, a hotel in reality would never be so dim, and the colors would never be so cold.

Then he thought about it carefully and found that this place was very similar to the dream he entered when he was still on the train. It was in a place like this that he met the "isotope of different time and space" of Brother Chen Ye's crew member - "Raiden Mei".

As Qiong was thinking wildly, he suddenly remembered - WOC! Firefly! Could Firefly have come in too?

Just when Qiong was panicking, his cell phone rang. It turned out... it was Sister Ji Zi who sent a message on "Starry Sky Train Family".

Inform everyone that it’s time to go back to reality, and then...Qiong looked at the scene around him and sent a message saying that he might not be able to go back for the time being because something happened to him.

The result showed "Failed to send". These four words made Qiong more convinced that it was all done by Brother Chen Ye!

You know, the mobile phones used by the train crew now all have the blessing of "power", and with such a mobile phone, Brother Chen Ye has solemnly promised everyone -

"As long as you use a phone that I've processed, it's basically impossible for you to lose contact. If you do, it's a special case with my intervention!"

It seems that Brother Chen Ye is planning to let himself explore here. Then, he carefully checked the surrounding environment, starting with the coffee table next to him.

There was a teacup on the coffee table, but the cup was empty and the liquid had long since dried up - "It seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time." Qiong thought.

Then he found a text in front of him: "Mikhail, are you in there?"

Qiong was puzzled by this, but... Mikhail? He remembered this name. When he first dreamed of the "Golden Hour", it existed in the air and he heard someone calling this name.

But... what is the situation now? Why is there a text floating in front of me? This is not scientific... No, that's not right... This is a dream, there is no science involved.

Thinking of this, Qiong couldn't help but shake his head, trying to shake his confused head to make it clearer. Then, Qiong walked to a counter on his left. As for the words that appeared again after he arrived at the counter.

He no longer had the heart to look, and just silently searched for useful clues on the counter. However, after searching for a long time, he did not find any useful clues. Instead, the dial on the counter began to vibrate.

The pointer also began to spin rapidly, as if to take me back to a moment in the distant past...

Yes, Qiong heard the "dial" muttering: "Why? Why did things turn out like this? But...but...I...must stay calm...must stay calm. Now, I am the only one left. I must complete the instructions he left behind!"

"But...how can I do this? How can I possibly do this? Oh, is there no one who can help me?"

The voice stopped here, and Qiong was confused. It felt like you said everything and yet said nothing, but Qiong did not waste time on it.

After all... the current Qiong is not the Qiong in the plot. He knows that since it is useless to stick to it here, there is no need to stick to it anymore, so... he searched the rest of the room carefully.

In the end, he got nothing, so he walked to the door and found that it was not locked. He pushed it open and then... he saw fireflies outside the door.

When Liuying saw Qiong, she was also very surprised and said, "Ah! Qiong... you are here too!"

Qiong responded enthusiastically, and then asked where this place was. Liuying said that she didn't know either, but there was only one thing she was sure of -

We were both still in a dream, because Liuying said that he had a unique understanding of the touch of "memory quality". And he was more sensitive to "memory quality", so his judgment of where they were would not be wrong, this place was definitely still a dream!

Qiong agreed, but also raised a new question - this place is different from any place in "Pinoconi", and the "family" would never allow such a place to exist in the dream.

"Yes..." Liuying agreed, "This place is so claustrophobic... secluded... uneasy... and these words floating in the air... you should be able to see them, right?"

"Of course, I can see it."

"Well... let me continue. Based on the above factors, I speculate that we are now in a dream bubble!"

Qiong disagreed. He said in a deep voice, "I don't think so. I have entered this dream before, so I can be sure that this is also a synesthesia dream, not a dream bubble."

"Besides, the guy pretending to be Sambo told us before we passed out that he wanted us to take a nap in a 'real dream'."

"That's right!" After hearing this, Liuying suddenly realized and said, "I heard this too. Now it seems... the place we are in should be a real dream."

After talking for a while, the two found that there were no particularly useful clues. They could only be sure that this place should have some connection with the "watchmaker".

So, whether to reveal the truth or to leave here, the two began to move forward. Along the way, they walked a long way, and even had to walk on walls in some places.

There are many unknown monsters on the wall. They are not the "Dream Troupe", but monsters with purple as the main color.

Despite Liuying's warning, Qiong still inevitably woke up some monsters, and then Qiong quickly defeated them with a baseball bat.

As they moved forward, they discovered that... as long as they reached the wall, or reached the ground or the ceiling from the wall, the monsters originally on the wall would turn into a ball of mist and float on the wall.

But they will not fall down or attack people, and when they return to the wall again, the mist will condense into enemies again.

Qiong understood that even if they alarmed the monster, they could make the monster less vigilant by changing their position.

Finally, the two came to a huge room, but it was extremely dark. There was no light, but there was a huge treasure chest.

Liuying originally suggested not to open it, but Qiong's body was one step faster than his brain and he opened the box directly. As expected, as long as there is a box in front of the pioneer, then -

If the pioneer had less knowledge, he would have opened it, and that was exactly what happened. However, surprisingly, there was nothing inside this huge treasure chest.

After it was opened, it disappeared directly, and then the lights in the room suddenly lit up. Afterwards, the two discussed it and decided to find a door to leave.

But they never thought... no matter what they did, they could only return to this room, and every time they walked the same path, the words displayed in the air would be different, but... the two knew it.

The emotions of the person who left these words were gradually changing from calm to collapse, so the words were becoming less and less clear. They still got some key information, such as - don't open the box.

At this moment, Qiong said, why is his hand so cheap? It doesn't matter if he is alone, but Liuying... he is just a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken!

How can I protect her in the battle? Yes, Qiong thought that there would be a battle next. Sure enough, the two of them walked the same path several times.

They returned to the same room again, but this time... all the doors turned gray. Qiong and Liuying knew that this was a sign that the doors were locked.

Moreover, the televisions placed in the four corners of the room suddenly lit up with white flashes. Liuying hurriedly reminded them, but...how could Qiong not notice such obvious movement?

He took out a baseball bat and exerted his strength on it, but before he could make further preparations, the surrounding televisions that were flashing white lights all turned purple.

Then, a ferocious eye opened on the purple TV screen. At first, it was just one TV, but later all the TVs became like this.

Qiong also noticed something was wrong. He looked up and saw that they were clearly indoors, but for some reason their heads were covered with dark clouds, and they were disturbing purple clouds!

Qiong stared at the dark clouds intently. He knew... the enemy was hiding in the clouds. Sure enough, a hideous monster rushed out from the clouds and rushed straight towards Liuying!

Qiong was very angry about this. He originally thought that the monster's target would be himself, but it turned out to be Liuying. However, he did not panic, but hit the monster's body with a stick.

But the monster entangled the firefly regardless, and Qiong was therefore cautious. Of course, this was in a dream, and even if he went all out, he didn't have to worry about hurting the real firefly.

But... he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and therefore, he was afraid to act rashly. Liuying also understood Qiong's difficulties, and then clenched his left hand as if to summon something, but then let go for some reason.

And Qiong? His attention was completely on the monster, and he didn't notice Liuying's small movements at all. But what no one expected was that the "Black Swan" was about to show up.

The door that had been tightly closed was suddenly broken open. The three looked in the direction where the sound came from, but they only saw a huge sword surrounded by lightning flying towards them.

It hit the ferocious monster directly, and the powerful impact force and the violent thunder from the Sword God made the monster extremely painful, so it let go of Liuying directly.

Qiong hurried over to catch her, then looked in the direction where the big sword was flying.

But just as he turned around, he saw a figure flying past, directly taking back the big sword that was nailed to the monster, then leaping and coming to a safer place.

Then, the monster's voice emitted a strange light, and then several ghost hands made of crystal rushed out from the ground and lifted the monster directly to the ceiling.

As a result, all three of them looked up in astonishment. Qiong and Liuying did not expect that there was an expert there, while Youxia was extremely shocked. Although he had just entered the room for less than ten seconds, based on his observations, there should not be any talented people hiding here.

But the beautiful woman in purple clothes did not want to explain. She just said calmly: "Little guys, if you are not well prepared, it will be difficult to escape from the hands of death... unscathed."

After saying this, the monster broke free from the crystal ghost hands, let out a shrill howl, and then rushed towards Firefly again!

Qiong felt that he was underestimated. He had to know that he was just caught off guard and was not really unable to defeat this monster. Therefore, Qiong directly blocked Liuying with his body.

The monster also knew how powerful the man in front of it was, so it drifted to a safe place and confronted him. At this time, Qiong had time to ask questions to the two people who suddenly appeared.
