Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Page 4

[Jingyuan: It's actually our fellow train passengers! Is this a story about going to Pinocchio? Interesting. As far as I know, the train hasn't departed yet. Could this be a premonition of the future?]

[The Great Black Tower: It doesn't feel like a memory, but rather like the power of the end times. @Elio]

[Kafka: We don't know either.]

"Ding!" Xing's phone rang. He opened it and saw a message from Kafka.

"Star, please believe in us."

Nod your head.png, and the star is sent.

Sand Gold was watching videos at the company's headquarters.

“Pinocchio, train, family. It seems this guy named Xing is the main character in this video.” He fiddled with a golden chip in his hand.

"All or nothing."

[Ring: Judging from the comments, this isn't a real story happening in your world, is it?]

[Ambi: Looking forward to it]

Bernice: Looking forward to it

[Fluorescent: +1]

Paimon: +1

Wendy: Hey!

[Paimon: Don't break the formation, you buskers!]

[Hooke: Expectations]

[Natasha: Okay! Hook, study hard.]

"Attention passengers, the train is about to undergo a jump—please take your seats and hold on tight."

The train emitted a faint glow.

Fragments of memories flashed through Xing's mind.

[Firefly: That's me.]

[Robin: Me too.]

[Gui Naifen: I saw the figure of Huang Quan.]

[I didn't see anything there, don't spout nonsense. Do you think I wouldn't recognize Huang Quan? These people aren't him at all.]

[Listen: Woof woof~]

Zhongli: They do look somewhat similar.

Xing opened her eyes again and found herself in a spacious room.

He stood up, looked around, and walked forward.

"again……"

Upon hearing the sound, Xing turned around abruptly and saw Huang Quan standing there.

"Come with me," Huang Quan said, turning around to lead the way.

"Who are you?" Xing asked, puzzled.

"These questions are meaningless. This is the intersection of reality and memory, a dream."

"At this moment, you and I share the same dream, appearing in each other's thoughts. This is the first greeting from the land of dreams to us."

"Don't worry, you'll wake up soon, forget everything that happened, and only feel a little melancholy."

"There's no need to worry about it; this kind of forgetting happens every morning, and it's something we've long been used to."

"So, come with me. I'll take you home."

After saying that, Huang Quan walked forward without looking back, and Xing followed.

[Gui Naifen: Right, right? It really is the Yellow Springs.]

[Qingque: But why did Huangquan appear in Xing's dream?]

[Fu Xuan: People walking in the void, the train won't encounter any danger, will it?]

[Jing Yuan: It seems Huang Quan isn't the murderer, so we can rest assured for now.]

[Pera: So the last story was actually true, Miss Yomi.]

Bronya: Star, March 7th, be careful.

[Fufu: It's actually a true story! I thought it was some kind of plot device.]

[Charlotte: Interdimensional news is a novel idea, I'd better jot it down.]

[Anbi: The story is good, I like it.]

[Nicole: Ambi, this seems like something that actually happened in that world.]

[Star: Ah, I'll see the Underworld during the jump, hehe, big sister, let's stick it out.]

[Firefly: Star, don't turn bad, okay? If it were me, it would be alright, star.]

[Silver Wolf: Don't rush, it's not your turn to come out yet.]

"Walter, what do you think? During a jump, the star will see the underworld in its dreams," Himeko asked worriedly.

Walter glanced at Xing, who was grinning foolishly, and shook his head.

"If anything seems wrong while I'm watching over Xing, I'll wake her up."

Dan Heng also silently approached Xing.

"Don't worry, Xing, I will definitely protect you," March 7 said, hugging Xing's arm.

"March, you are so kind."

Chapter 5 Waaaaah, she stabbed me!

"We're almost there. Can you still walk?"

"I'm on the wall, and I feel good."

[March 7th: Xing, you truly live up to your reputation. Sweating.png]

"That's quite funny. Since you're in the mood for jokes, I assume you're alright."

Huang Quan chuckled softly.

"Don't stop, don't look back, don't look down, and don't look up."

Suddenly, Sunday and the robin's projection appeared beside the star.

"The stage of the Harmonious Music Festival belongs only to you, my sister."

"But what's the point of the stage if I can't sing?"

[March 7th: What? The robin can't sing anymore.]

[A fan: No! Who hurt our robin?]

[A clerk: Even so, Robin, I'm still your dog.]

[Ying: Sweating.png]

[Fu Xuan: The grand event is about to begin, but the robin cannot sing. It seems the event is about to encounter some turbulence.]

[Jing Yuan: Fu Qing, not bad, there will be big problems later.]

[Robin: Don't worry, everyone, I'll arrive at the Harmonious Music Ceremony on time.]

[Sunday: My younger sister.]

[Gold Sand: It seems the family isn't all that great after all. Let's leave everything to the company.]

[Family member: You *****, I ****.]

[Sunday: No need to trouble the company; the family will handle everything.]

The picture flashed by.

Black swans and fireworks also appear in the picture.

"Those who remember, do you think you can leave safely?"

"I'm sorry. My ideal dance partner... I already have someone in mind."

[Fireworks: Hahaha, it was me! This is so much fun!]

The image flashed again.

A door suddenly opened.

"Welcome to Daydream Hotel! We hope you have an unforgettable vacation experience! To check in, please proceed directly to the hotel reception..." Misha bowed deeply.

Huang Quan spoke again.

"Leave this place, wake up as usual, forget this chance encounter, and return to where you came from."

"But before we part, I have a request."

"This might seem strange, even rude, to you, but I'd like to know..."

"Have we met somewhere before?" The video subtitles instantly turned blood red.

[Qingque: Wow, what's going on? Why did that sentence change color? I'm a little scared.]

"I have no idea……"

"You remind me of someone from the past. In my hazy memory, she stood beside me... just like this bizarre and fantastical dream, so close yet unattainable." (Red)

"Can I ask you a few more questions?"

"When you woke up in the hotel room, you murmured several names. Were they your allies? Family? Enemies? You seem to have forged unbreakable bonds with many people and many things..."

"Would you be afraid of losing this connection?" (Red)

"I do not know."

"Hmm... What if there were a vast dream world, so realistic that it was indistinguishable from reality? There would be no separation of life and death, and everyone would be able to reap the happiness and fulfillment they deserved, and live happily ever after."

"Would you be willing to live there?" (Red)

"I don't want to live in a dream world, no matter what."

"Then...if this beautiful dream is destined to shatter, everything will leave: friends, family, strangers: then the wind, birds, stars...and finally yourself."

"Everyone, everyone in their memories, those smiles and tears, the fulfilled and unfulfilled promises... will eventually reach their predetermined end. If only you knew the destination from the very beginning of your journey..."

"Will you embark on this journey again?" (Red)

"I will continue to explore without hesitation."

[Black Tower: These dialogues are packed with information. This Yellow Springs is truly extraordinary; who knows how far Void has traveled.]

[Dr. Truth: It's very similar to my guess; it seems to be Pinocchio.]

[Dream Interpreter: Nothingness should not come here]

[Jadeite: It seems you'll encounter many difficulties on this trip, Gold Placer]

[Gold Sand: Don't worry, I'll complete the mission no matter what. I'll stake my life on it.]

[Jingyuan: Fellow passengers on the train, please feel free to ask for help if you need anything.]

Fu Xuan: That's right.

[Himeko: Thank you all.]

[Star: Don't worry, Lao Jing, I've got C covered.]

[Sunday: Welcome to the land of dreams.]
