The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Just then, Pam's voice suddenly came over the radio."

"Hey, hey, hey, all passengers, please pay attention! The train is about to jump, the train is about to jump! Please sit tight and hold on to your hand!"

"Haha, it looks like we're finally leaving. There are so many shining memories waiting for us in the distance, so let's stop here for now."

"Black Swan said that and walked away without waiting for Xing to reply."

"But after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head."

"Oh, by the way. As a small recompense for teasing you with that 'blank cone of light,' I want to give you a message. It means a lot to me—life is a winding maze, and we have nothing but memories. You must remember this well."

"Her eyes were as gentle as water, but before Xing could even take a second look, the black swan had already vanished."

"As preparations for the jump progressed, Xing closed her eyes on the sofa."

"During the rest period, the sound of the black swan arrived as promised."

"Countless shooting stars streak across the sky tonight... If you choose the right one, it will carry your wish to thousands of worlds."

"You're feeling pretty relaxed now, aren't you? Well...now, it's time for a little bedtime story."

"Let me first state the conclusion: in the confrontation with Sunday, everyone in the train crew, and indeed everyone in Pinocchio, failed. No one survived."

"..." Ying Zheng was stunned: "No wonder I feel that everything has gone wrong."

Lost, everyone lost without knowing when, and was completely immersed in the dream!

"How could this Sunday be so powerful? Without anyone realizing it, it made everyone fall into a dream!"

Fusu took a breath.

This is too terrible!

No wonder everyone looks weird, as if they've taken some drugs!

"What about Xing and the others? They won't have to stay in the dream for the rest of their lives, right?" Ying Yinman was a little worried.

Although she likes Sunday very much and wants a brother like him, after following Xing's perspective for so long, she has already regarded Xing as her friend.

She didn't want anything to happen to Xing.

"Don't worry. Since Black Swan is still so calm after knowing the truth, there must be a way." Ying Zheng was not worried.

On the one hand, there is the calm attitude of the Black Swan.

On the other hand... there's also Elio in the Star Core Hunter!

Whenever something was going to happen, Elio would have come here hundreds of years ago and started planning.

…………

"But don't be nervous," the Black Swan soothed. "Although the truth is horrific, it's not yet irreversible. You still have a glimmer of hope, and that's why I'm here."

"Next, Black Swan told Xing that she would retell everything that happened in Pinocchio and that Xing must listen carefully and remember it carefully."

"Because, in Xing's story, there is a fatal flaw - and the glimmer of hope lies behind this flaw."

"It's Misa!" Xing finally remembered what was wrong.

"When they arrived at the Daydream Hotel, they met Misha, the doorman."

"But, Misha is a meme! How could Misha, a meme, appear in reality?!"

A smile played on Black Swan's lips. "Indeed, even if the power of 'Exploration' grants Misha immense powers, there's one thing he can never achieve—life born in the Memory Realm can never appear in reality!"

“… Damn!” Liu Che was stunned and couldn’t help but swear.

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that the moment Xing and his crew arrived at Pinocchio, they were already in a dream?!"

"The entire Pinocchio incident happened in a dream?!"

For a moment, Liu Che only felt his scalp tingling.

In his eyes, the entire Pinocchio seemed to have turned into a spider spirit's lair. The spider web had already been woven, waiting for the prey to fall into the net!

"It's just like that... Sunday's plan is too deep and too far-reaching!" Wei Qing sighed, and felt a rare admiration for someone.

"Luckily, Sunday is a gentleman with lofty ideals, otherwise, Xing and the others would have died long ago."

They had fallen into someone else's trap for so long without even knowing it. To be honest, if I really wanted to kill them, Xing and the others might still have a smile on their faces when they died!

…………

“Similarly, you, who firmly believe in this memory that defies reality—at this very moment, are still in a dream.”

“Wake up, little sleepyhead. Escape from this endless dream and return to the waking world—there we will all find the answer (a glimmer of hope).”

"With the gentle voice of the black swan, the transition begins."

"Xing opened her eyes and appeared in Pinocchio's room."

"This way, dear."

"I heard the voice of Black Swan from outside the door."

"Xing stood up from the sofa without hesitation and pushed the door open, only to see Black Swan and Huang Quan standing outside."

"That's great." Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xing wake up. "Thank you very much, Miss Black Swan."

Black Swan chuckled, "Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"This scene seems familiar." Xing blinked.

Huang Quan: "I know you're still confused, and we'll do our best to explain everything. But before we explain everything, you must understand one thing... This is the narrow space between dreams and reality, belonging to those who have awakened from the Taiyi Dream."

"Remember that Sunday's ambition?" Black Swan reminded him. "He planned to use the Star Core, the will of over a hundred thousand Oak Clan members, and the wishes of all the people of Pinocchio to usurp the authority of 'Harmony' and restore 'Order' to the world."

"Unfortunately, the truth is more than that. As early as the moment we entered Asdena, we were already affected by the star core. Looking back, the strange dream in which you and I met might have been a sign that our thoughts were beginning to wander," Huang Quan added.

"So, I fell asleep on the train?" Xing wondered if her real self had never been to Pinocchio.

"If that's the case, I feel so bad!"

Huang Quan ignored Xing's wild thoughts and offered his own speculation: "I don't think their goal is to put everyone to sleep. On the contrary, they use the star core to catalyze Asdena's memories to penetrate the material world, allowing 'dreams' and 'reality' to merge."
