"The star of the grand event...is the star core disaster?" March Seven said in disbelief.

[Qingque: So the existence of Pinocchio is a disaster in itself? ]

[Black Tower: If the existence of Pinocchio really depends on the star core, then it may indeed be a disaster for this galaxy.]

[Pera: The star core is quite versatile. It can do this.]

[March 7: Speaking of which, Xing... do you have any special abilities, such as hidden powers or something like that!]

[Xing: If I had hidden powers, I would have used them long ago. ]

【March 7: That’s right...】

Gallagher paused and continued:

"The story begins a long time ago. After the "Watchmaker" and his party liberated the border prison, they were at a loss as to how to build Pinoconi from scratch, and there were endless internal and external troubles. At this time, someone came up with the idea of ​​​​the star core."

"This Yingxing core originally fell on Asdena during the war years. At that time, under the appeal of the nameless guest, people gave up the idea of ​​getting involved with this power. But there have always been people with ulterior motives who are secretly ready to make a move."

"The turning point of everything happened after Tiernan's death. The two unknown guest companions died one after another, forcing the "Watchmaker" to go to the frontier of pioneering. And this long journey gave his opponents an opportunity to seize. "

"By the time the family representatives from the Montor system responded to the call of the Watchmaker and came, the star core had already been activated and infiltrated into the original synesthesia dream."

[Qingque: I remember watching the Clock Boy animation before. There was an episode where the villagers tried to use the power of the meteor, but were stopped by Clock Boy.]

[March 7: So the Clock Boy is actually a metaphor for the history of Pinocchio, then what does the villain Stone Boss represent?]

【Jizi: Xiao Sanyue, think about it, stone. 】

[Potiou: Stop playing dumb, little girl. I'm telling you the truth. Stone - cornerstone - protection. Do you understand? Stone Boss is my precious Interstellar Peace Company.]

[Xing: ...Is this something I can say? ]

[Potiou: I'm not afraid of that, I've killed enough corporate dogs, I don't mind having a few more zeros on the wanted list.]

"I guess the family happens to have the knowledge to seal the star core?" Ji Zi said.

"More than that!" Gallagher said in a heavy tone, "They understand the star core better than ordinary people. They quickly helped Mikhail quell the civil unrest and joined the construction of Pinoconi in the name of "Harmony". "

"That was the third era known as the 'Dream Chasing Era'. The 'Watchmaker', who was kept in the dark, sent out an invitation to the entire universe, setting off a craze called the Land of Dreams."

[March 7: I see. No wonder the family would trade the knowledge of star cores with Professor Latio. In this case, he seems to be the biggest winner. He not only helped his friends, but also gained a lot of top-secret knowledge as a reward.]

[Dr. Zhenli: That guy and I are not friends.]

【March 7: Uh, but I haven’t said who it is yet. 】

"Then...how did they become enemies?" San Yue Qi asked, blinking his big curious eyes.

"Remember the metaphor of 'reclaiming land'? The truth is that the star core has never been sealed, it just exists in a different form in the dream. Think about it, what is the price of building and maintaining such a huge dream?" Gallagher asked, and revealed the answer himself:

"It's life, little girl. The magnificent dream is built on the death of the spirit. The poisonous wine called "happiness" flows through the dream, making people indulge in it. The mind slowly flows to the same end, and finally becomes the placenta of the dream." Gallagher's voice seemed to carry a hint of sadness and helplessness.

As he spoke, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The perspective rose, and the three tombstones and the nameless guest in the valley formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding towering skyscrapers, as if two completely different worlds were forcibly separated.

"Confusion, laziness, cowardice... these weaknesses that can be found everywhere in human nature were magnified and nurtured by the family, turning Pinocchio into another kind of prison, which is far more indestructible than the previous one."

"We found out too late. By then the family had gained control of everything, and those who opposed it were quickly controlled and expelled."

"With nowhere else to go, I had to rely on the power of 'mystery' to hide in this chaotic memory area, and spent several years 'fabricating' a meme in my dreams for our use—"

"'Slumber', that's its real name. Ordinary people can't fall asleep again in dreams, so we have the opportunity to take advantage of this loophole."

"So this is the true meaning of 'impossible things'. So, you sent out invitations in the name of 'Watchmaker' in order to find a faction that can solve the star core crisis and attract them to come to Pinoconi to discover the truth?"

"Not only that, what I want to see more is the constant fighting between the various factions for the inheritance. Plus, the Watchmaker has spoken for the first time in more than a decade, and the traitor in the family will definitely be exposed."

"So, 'inheritance' is really just a cover." March 7 confirmed again.

Gallagher smiled slightly and responded noncommittally: "If you want to treat the star core as a legacy, I have no objection."

Hearing this, Ji Zi's eyes became sharp and she asked, "So, where is the star core now?"

Gallagher raised his eyebrows and replied in a relaxed tone: "You should ask that Winghead kid. The Star Core has always been under the control of the family, and he is the face of the Oak family. He must know everything clearly."

[Star: The number of Sunday nicknames is still increasing! ]

[Hanabi: Sunday——The man with the most nicknames in all Pinocchio. ]

"Everyone looks so serious... Is there anything I can help with?" Misha asked, but no one seemed to be paying attention to him.

【March 7: Xiaomisha doesn’t seem to have integrated at all. 】

[Walter: Strange... Why did Gallagher ignore Misha's meaning at all... Could it be that he couldn't see Misha either? ]

【March 7: No way...】

Gallagher led everyone to the side of Sunday and Robin, and said with a serious expression:

"You guys have finished talking, right? So, are you willing to tell us where the "star core" is?"

Sunday raised his head, took a deep breath, and said, "It is the Pinocchio Theater itself."

"It is true. The incarnation of the family, the building that first appeared in the dream...it is the culprit that caused Pinocchio to become like this." The robin's tone was full of sadness and helplessness.

There was a hint of comfort in Sunday's eyes, and he patted Robin's shoulder gently, as if telling her not to be too sad.

Then, he spoke again: "And the person who used the star core to accomplish all this...I'm afraid it was Mr. Gefeimu, who is now the "Dream Master."
