Star Dome Railway's live streaming room

Xing hurriedly walked through the corridor and finally arrived at the spacious and bright lounge. However, before she stepped into the room, she heard an anxious voice: "So suspicious... How could it be such a coincidence? There must be something wrong with that woman!"

Then, another calm and steady voice responded: "But she did find Xing and saved her - now we can only listen to the other party's request." This voice was obviously from Ji Zi.

At this time, Walter expressed his own opinion: "The Rememberer is obviously well prepared, so it is better to be cautious."

While everyone was discussing, Black Swan walked up to the crowd and said softly, "Ms. Jizi, look, I brought the child back as promised."

Seeing Xing appearing in front of her safely, San Yue Qi was so excited that she almost jumped up. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Xing tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Xing, are you okay? I couldn't find you in reality or in my dreams, I was so worried..."

Xing gently patted Sanyueqi's back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After calming down a little, March Seven let go of Xing and turned his gaze to the Black Swan beside him.

Seeing this, Ji Zi quickly introduced Xing: "I'm so glad you're safe! Come, let me introduce you - this is Miss Black Swan, the Rememberer of Liuguang Yiting."

"Ah? So you are Ji Zi's friend..." Xing looked at Black Swan in surprise.

At this time, San Yueqi shook his head and explained, "Oh, that's not right. Sister Jizi said that they met by chance when they were investigating dreams!"

Hearing this, Black Swan smiled and responded softly: "We may not be friends now, but thanks to you, maybe we can take this opportunity to get to know each other better."

Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Xing, especially Ji Zi, who asked with great concern: "So, Xing, why did you fall into such a dangerous place? What happened?"

Xing took a deep breath and then told everyone in detail what he had experienced.

Finally, Walter pondered for a moment and concluded: "In this case, the person who attacked you should be a woman dressed in red, proficient in illusion and able to transform into someone else's appearance..."

"Her name is Hanabi, and she's a masked fool who sneaked into Pinocchio." Miss Black Swan comforted everyone in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, that little girl won't come to bother you again in the short term. At this moment, she must think that she has succeeded and is gloating in a corner."

"It sounds like you are quite familiar with her?" Walter asked curiously.

"Of course. There is no one in Pinocchio that I don't know. You know, everyone here is likely to lie...only 'memory' is real and reliable." Miss Black Swan answered confidently.

Then, she changed the subject: "However, I think it is necessary to explain one thing to you: the illusions cast by Miss Hanabi can indeed make people fall into hallucinations, but the strange dream you experienced before has nothing to do with her. The real culprit is actually Pinocchio himself."

"What? Pinocchio...itself?" March Seven asked in astonishment and disbelief.

"Haven't you noticed yet? This place is called the 'Land of Dreams' by the outside world, but in fact it is an illusion carefully created by the family using some mysterious means. It is just a beautiful dream that has been arranged long ago." Miss Black Swan explained slowly.

"And the memory she fell into - that is what dreams are originally like, chaotic, dangerous, mysterious... the beast of memory lives in the ever-changing maze."

"...She's right. Everyone, do you still remember the scenery when you fell asleep?" Ji Zi agreed.

Star nodded.

"Hey, so everyone saw the same thing? I remember... then there was a guest room, and then through the mirror we came to a long corridor..." March 7 said, trying to recall.

“The Thought Gallery is what the hotel staff call it.”

Black Swan smiled and said, "Don't you think these landscapes are very different from the Pinocchio in my dream... but very similar to the dream described by Xing?"

Walter on the side nodded and said in agreement: "Indeed... I didn't pay much attention to it when I first saw it, but now that I think about it, there are so many similarities between the two."

He paused, and then continued, "Also, I've heard from some guests who frequent this place that the first place to stay after entering the dream should have been the 'Dream Hotel', but due to some unexpected factors... [the hotel is currently undergoing renovations]."

"Then the question is," Black Swan suddenly interrupted, "Generally speaking, under what circumstances would a building require large-scale repairs? Considering what she just experienced, the answer is obvious."

The black swan solemnly revealed the answer: "Pinocone's dream is gradually 'sinking', slowly returning to its original appearance... and then falling into the endless deep sea." Her voice was full of mystery.

"Sinking? You mean... the entire dream world is collapsing?" March Seven asked in surprise.

"Yes, what happened at the Dream Hotel was an obvious sign." Black Swan nodded affirmatively.

[Dream Chaser A: What! Does this mean that the Land of Dreams is about to be destroyed? ]

[Dream Chaser B: How can this be? The family is hiding everything. We have the right to know the truth.]

[Dream Chaser C: Pinocchio is so dangerous... No, I have to leave. I can't gamble with my family's lives. ]

"...I see. This explains the incongruity in the family's language." Walter suddenly realized:

"If this news were to be known to the outside world, regardless of the actual safety of the residents, the reputation of the Gala Star would inevitably be affected. The Harmony Festival is approaching, so they have no choice but to conceal this matter."

The Black Swan smiled and shook his head:

"The safety of the guests may not be guaranteed... Isn't the monster she encountered the best proof? Do you want me to remind you again? It is a memory domain meme..."

"How could the memes of death and murder appear in the dream that the family claimed to be "absolutely safe"... In Pinocchio, everyone can lie, including the family themselves."

"Ms. Black Swan, we have fully understood the current situation. Let's go back to your original proposal..."

"May I ask why Liuguang Yiting chose to cooperate with the Starry Sky Train?" Ji Zi asked.

"Well, please allow me to correct you... This is my personal request, not on behalf of Yi Ting. The answer is very simple, Ms. Ji Zi, I just want to make an exchange... an exchange of "memories"."

"Besides my duties, I also have some personal aesthetic pursuits. I am a memorizer and a collector. I also want to witness those precious memories that are crystal clear and brilliant. This idea is easy to understand, isn't it?"

"And you, the unknown passengers of the Starry Sky Train, the practitioners of the way of 'pioneering'... I believe in your potential, and I also believe that you will shine with unique brilliance on this stage..."

"This is why I want to make friends with you." At this point, the Black Swan chuckled and continued, "The place where nightmares and sweet dreams meet... It is the most suitable place to be the cradle of "memory."

"..I understand. But before I answer you, we still need to discuss something." Ji Zi responded with her arms folded across her chest.

"Of course, feel free to do so."

The Black Swan didn't care at all. He walked to the bar, ordered a glass of Suleda, and took the initiative to make room for everyone to discuss.
