The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Indeed, I didn't think much of it when I first met them, but looking back, I realize they have quite a bit in common." Walter also found it strange.

"Also, I've heard from some regular customers that their first stop after entering a dream was originally the hotel in the dream, but now... it's 'The hotel is currently under renovation.'" It's clear that Himeko isn't just playing around; she's gathering a lot of information."

"When does a building need repair? Considering her recent experience, the answer is clear." Black Swan said softly, "Pinocone's dream is sinking, returning to its original state... falling into memory."

"Sinking...you mean the dream world is disintegrating?" Sanyueqi was startled.

"That would explain the discord in the family's words." Walter folded his arms. "If this news were to become known to the outside world, regardless of the residents' actual safety, the reputation of the Gala Star would undoubtedly be affected. With the Harmony Festival approaching, they had no choice but to conceal this matter."

Black Swan: "The safety of the residents may not be guaranteed... Isn't the monster Xing encountered the best proof? It's a memory domain meme, a metaphor for death and murder. How could a meme appear in a dream that the family claims is 'absolutely safe'? In Pinocchio, everyone can lie—perhaps even the family itself."

(Mianmian: I’m not a monster, I’m a bus!)

"The family invited so many forces, but there's no way to guarantee their safety... I can't even imagine how many forces would attack the family if all these people were gone."

Li Shimin was amazed.

It is like a barbarian tribe on the grassland invites the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to participate in a festival, but someone rebels at the festival, resulting in the envoy's demise.

There is no doubt about that, the barbarians must be completely eliminated!

"Speaking of being enemies with many forces..." Empress Changsun suddenly thought of a character, or a force.

"Didn't Duke Hellfire and his gang say they were going to attack Pinocchio? I thought Xing was going to deal with them in Pinocchio. Why haven't they appeared yet?"

At the beginning, Empress Changsun really thought that Pinocchio was a replica of the plot of Luofu Fairy Boat.

After all, the method used by Duke Minghuo at the Black Tower Space Station was really similar to Huanlong, and he could definitely be called Little Huanlong.

Then, like Xianzhou, Pinocchio was invaded by foreign enemies, who used various schemes to make the people of Pinocchio panic.

Finally, the train crew helped to deal with Duke Hellfire.

This was how she had envisioned the story unfolding.

So, where are you, Lord Minghuo?

Could it be that he is lost?!

"Jizi: "Ms. Black Swan, we are fully aware of 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?"

"Allow me to correct you," Black Swan reminded. "This is my personal request, not on behalf of Liuguang Yiting. As for the answer, it's simple. I simply want to make an exchange... an exchange of memories."

"'Collector?' Xing summed up her behavior."

"Haha, exactly." Black Swan smiled softly: "Beyond my duties, I also have some personal aesthetic pursuits. I want to witness those crystal-clear, brilliant and precious memories - this idea is easy to understand, isn't it?"

"Himeko: "I understand. But before I can answer you, we need to discuss something."

"Of course, please feel free." Black Swan stepped aside, giving everyone room to discuss.

"After she left, Walter took the lead and said, "Jizi, what do you think?"

"Her words can't be trusted; there's a lot of deliberate intrigue." Ji Zi also saw clearly: "But I'm worried about the worst-case scenario. What if the changes in the dream really do exist, and they didn't happen naturally, but someone is behind it..."

"Then it's most likely related to the 'Watchmaker's Invitation,'" Walter continued. "Leaving aside extreme scenarios, the perpetrator of the dream change is undoubtedly opposed to the family. This leaves two possibilities: someone intends to bring in outside forces to destabilize the family's control over Pinocchio. Or, to protect themselves, the family is forced to secretly seek outside help."

"Jizi: "Judging from the coded message on the invitation and the family's reaction... the former is more likely. This means that the person who sent the nameless guest's coded message and the mastermind behind the dream changes are from the same faction... perhaps even the same person."

"Huh?" Sanyueqi was completely stunned.

"Why did she come to this conclusion? She doesn't understand! She doesn't understand at all!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Sanyue, I don't understand either."

"Me too."

"Wala, you can't mock Xiao Sanyue for being stupid anymore."

The common people were also confused and couldn't understand anything. They couldn't understand at all.

"Never mind, it's not important. Anyway, we just need to worry when Xing and the others are in danger, and cheer when we see them win."

"Yes, yes, yes. Wasn't it the same when listening to storytelling in the past?"

The common people quickly adjusted their positions as tools to create an atmosphere.

…………

"That doesn't mean anything," Xing scratched his head. "As for the technique, the Fool and the Riddler could do it, and didn't the company crack it successfully?"

"It's just a possibility," Jizi replied. "If this coded message isn't just a prank, but someone's intentional invitation to Kaituo, there's no reason for us to sit idly by."

Walter: "Well, let me tell you what I've discovered. Unfortunately, it's bad news. Some people have sighted a man in silver armored Gundam in Pinocchio. I've inquired with the Hound family and interviewed many guests who claim to have seen this intruder... and then I received this. I've posted it to the group, everyone, please take a look."

"Xing opened her phone and saw a video link in the group chat. When she opened it, a cute little figure of Silver Wolf filled the screen."

"Ahem, can you hear me? Star Train, long time no see—Is Pinocchio fun?"

"March Seven exclaimed, 'That's the little hacker girl!'"

"The Silver Wolf in the video continued."

"Seriously, I know you're all investigating Pinocchio's visions. Actually, we're very happy to see this. The deeper you investigate, the more likely you are to uncover the truth behind the dream."

"The family is hiding something, isn't it? We have firsthand information. Now, I have decided to be generous and share it with everyone. It's a pity—our wonderful vacation is about to end."

"Enter this code into your Dream Pool and go to the hidden map! The coordinates are all packed for you. Here, just copy them with one click."

"Also... I'm sure you've all heard about Sam. Look forward to it. He's a simple guy who enjoys fair and square victories. He'll definitely get along well with you. I hope you won't be overwhelmed by his enthusiasm."

"Oh, he asked me to tell everyone: In the unreachable dream, the play is about to begin - come on, all forces are mobilizing, Wumingke, don't fall too far behind."
