"Oh, what a pity! I was thinking about seeing how Xing would deal with that terrible King of Garbage..." Sambo, who was standing aside, had a look of regret on his face and kept muttering.

At this time, Xing put his hands on his hips and answered confidently: "There's no need to look at it. I can solve it with just one punch."

"It's such a pity that such a wonderful and meaningful dream was forced to end because of Miss Liuying's sudden intervention..."

Sambo sighed and shook his head, then said thoughtfully: "...I have always been looking forward to what kind of expression will appear on your face when you find out the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liuying, who was standing next to him, changed her expression slightly, but Xing, who was talking to Sangbo at the moment, did not notice anything unusual behind him.

"Express? No, it should be revealed..."

"The truth about "beautiful dreams" - aren't you looking for it? Don't be fooled by the beautiful scenery, dear, a comfortable environment makes a blind person. "

"Don't you think this Dream Bubble is very similar to the current Pinocchio, huh?" Sambo said meaningfully: "A group of people with ulterior motives, crowded on a small stage, no one wants to be exposed to the spotlight, so they push the poor little gray hair to the front of the stage-"

"Dreams are not your own bathtub, but the unpredictable deep sea. If you want me to make it clearer - don't be fooled by the attractive fluorescence. If you fall into the hands of such a guy... I will be very disappointed."

[Jizi: Compared to pure joy, this masked fool seems to want to hint something to you. The alluring fluorescence, could it be referring to Miss Liuying? ]

[Xing: Oh! It's getting more and more complicated. Why don't you just be a joker? Why are you making up riddles?]

"Fluorescent?" Xing murmured to himself in a low voice.

"——Do you see that little girl is still there?" Sambo reminded.

Xing hurriedly turned his head to look, and his heart was shocked. He didn't know when the firefly that was beside him just now had quietly left and disappeared without a trace.

"Who is this person who says she's from Pinocchio, but doesn't know the ways of the trade at all? She's got a lot of petty theft skills. Didn't you ever doubt her for a moment, dear?"

[Xing: But she is really cute]

Sambo walked away with a smile on his face.

As he watched Sambo's figure gradually walk away, Xing began to feel mixed emotions.

What exactly did Sangbo mean by this? Could it be that Liuying had been hiding something from him all along? A series of questions came to Xing's mind, and he felt that he had to find Liuying to ask for clarification.

So, she began to look for Liuying everywhere, thinking that she wouldn't be far away...

Xing hurriedly chased after it for a distance and found the firefly staring into the distance in a daze beside the flower bed.

"Hu..." She took a deep breath, as if to relieve the pressure in her heart, turned sideways, looked into the distance, as if to avoid Xing's sight. After a long while, she turned back and spoke softly.

At this moment, Liuying looked pitiful and aggrieved. Xing's heart softened immediately when he saw her like this, and he quickly shook his head to show that he didn't care.

"It's okay, you don't have to apologize to me. I never doubted you." Xing comforted gently.

"...Thank you." Her eyes sparkled with sincerity. After thanking him softly, she seemed to find it difficult to speak, but she still mustered up the courage to continue: "I... did hide something from you..."

Xing looked at her quietly without saying anything, waiting for her next words.

"For example, I'm definitely not a 'local', and the hound family isn't hunting me down for no reason... There are actually some other reasons for traveling with you..." Her voice became lower and lower, as if she was afraid of hurting the person in front of her.

"...but thank you for helping me, this is sincere." She raised her head and looked at Xing firmly, "It's also true that I yearn for the Nameless Guest. You have been to so many worlds and can see all kinds of people and things. Every new day is full of unknowns and expectations..."

As she spoke, she unconsciously placed her hands on her chest, as if trying to grasp that unattainable dream.

Xing sensed the desire deep in her heart, smiled gently, and then suggested: "You can also board the train and explore those mysterious worlds with us."

After hearing this, Liuying just shook her head slightly. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke:

"I want to take you to another place, okay? This time it's not a tourist attraction, quite the opposite... maybe it can be considered my 'secret base'." Her eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and a little bit of nervousness.

"There, I will tell you everything I know...as much as I can."

"Okay, I believe you," Xing replied without hesitation.

"Thank you."

Xing followed Liuying closely, strolling together on the street covered with golden light. At this moment, a strange sound came from not far ahead, as if someone was shouting for help.

"Tick-tock! Help! Help!" Along with the crisp and rapid ringing of the bell, a strange creature that looks like a clock but has limbs is shouting at the top of its voice: "Someone is going to die! Help quickly!"

Hearing the sound, Xing suddenly stopped and stared at the strange being with suspicion. After a long while, she asked, "What...are you?"

When asked this question, the little guy who looked like a clock was obviously a little annoyed, and angrily retorted: "Hey! I am a real clock, not a 'thing'!" However, as soon as he finished speaking, it seemed to suddenly come to its senses, blinked its eyes, and asked back blankly: "Hey, wait - you... can you see me?"

[Mockingbird: Is this the Clock Boy? Does the Clock Boy really exist in dreams?]

[Seele: This is the Clock Boy I mentioned before... He does look cute.]

At the same time, Liuying, who had been walking silently beside him, also stopped, came forward curiously, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xing turned around and explained to Liuying with a slightly surprised look: "I saw a clock... with hands and feet."

"Could it be possible... that you can really see me?" The mysterious clock widened its eyes and looked at the star in front of it in disbelief.

Then he said happily: "Tick-tock! Great! Great! Misha is saved!"

"Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet!"

"My name is Clock Boy, and I'm the big star of the Dream Town Pinocchio! Together with my friends, I protect the peace of this town - they are the Hanu Brothers, Mr. Soda, Origami Bird, Hamster Ball Knight..."

"...and Misha! Misha is in danger - tick! Help! Help!"
