vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

However, before she could finish her words, the spider silk had already led her through the door, and everything in the memory space had nothing to do with her anymore.

At the very end, all that was heard was a low murmur from the robin.

"Let it flow, the sword light of the past."

Volume 19: The Ghost of the Yellow Spring

In the cockpit of the spaceship, Jeremy suddenly opened his eyes, and his right hand wrapped in a white glove subconsciously touched his back.

There were no knife wounds, and no stabbing pain in the brain.

Why is it a little different from Miss Saturday's description? Even though he "died" in the memory space, he didn't feel that he had suffered any damage.

After fiddling with the console for a while, Jeremy put the spacecraft, which had deviated from its original route due to its owner falling asleep, into autopilot mode. Then he threw his body on the comfortable backrest, recalling the last scene he saw in his dream.

It was a ghost with white hair dotted with a little red light. The scarlet eyes seemed to reflect the blood beads from the underworld. The pale long hair was like a waterfall falling from the sky. A wisp of blood and tears slid down from the other's scarlet eyes.

Scarlet marks ran across the entire face to the chin, as if to split the enchanting face in two. Even the exposed skin was dotted with some scarlet lines, and it seemed as if red spider lilies were blooming on the red blade.

"Is that guy the envoy?"

Jeremy had only felt that kind of unfathomable power, like the abyss, from the envoy.

Moreover, Jeremy was certain that the person who attacked him was definitely not an ordinary messenger.

"Even this kind of person is attracted here. It seems that Pinocchio's Harmony Festival is indeed more interesting than I expected."

Looking at the star of the grand event floating in the boundless starry sky at the end of his sight, Jeramy did not show any fear after having just "died" once, but instead smiled.

It is easier to fish in turbulent waters. The more turbulent the undercurrent of the event star is, the greater the chance of achieving one's goal.

........................

Inside the memory space, Huang Quan watched as Jeramy's figure gradually turned into memory light and dissipated, and slowly put the long sword that had turned red back into the sheath.

The faded colors reappeared, and the self-destructor who walked in nothingness turned back into the self-proclaimed sea patrol ranger, and the red pattern on his body turned back into a purple robe.

only……

Huang Quan slowly lowered his head. There was a piece of missing hair at the end of his hair. The purple venom did not disappear when Jeremy was "invited" out of the dream. After corroding the hair that was swaying in front of him, it hit his side directly. Waves of tingling sensation appeared on his fair skin.

Even though everything happened in a flash, the other party subconsciously counterattacked in the shortest time possible.

Experiencing pain for the first time in a long time caused Huang Quan's eyes, which were originally as calm as an ancient well, to fluctuate slightly.

This highly corrosive venom seemed familiar to her.

I seem to have seen it somewhere...

With a flick of his fingertips, he wiped off the venom on his body, and the purple bun that had been corroded by the ends of his hair returned to its original state.

Huang Quan turned around, and at this moment, the pioneer named Xing finally arrived.

"Did you kill him?"

Looking at his companions who had been fighting side by side just now, Xing widened his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of disbelief and vigilance in his eyes.

Just now, she witnessed with her own eyes at the end of the corridor that Huang Quan attacked the familiar-looking young man in white without a single word. The attack was so swift and brutal that it was even more extreme than when the Zerg fought.

At least, Xing didn't see Huang Quan turn into the man with white hair and red eyes when he was fighting the Zerg.

Although he was unwilling to believe that Huang Quan was a person who killed innocent people, Xing inevitably became a little wary of his companions with whom he had just fought side by side.

"No, I just sent him out of this dream. Although my actions were a bit harsh, they didn't cause any harm to him."

Pointing to the wall that was cut open by his own strike, Huang Quan explained to Xing.

"If we continue to let him stay in the memory space, it may lead to unpredictable consequences."

Following the direction Huang Quan pointed, Xing slowly turned his gaze.

The walls of the corridor were easily cut open by Huang Quan's attack, like butter meeting a hot knife.

However, the cross-section was not as smooth as Xing had imagined. Shocking holes had unknowingly corroded the barrier of the memory realm, and tiny stinging insects could be vaguely seen crawling in it.

As Jeremy was "invited" out of the memory space by Huang Quan, these real stinging insects disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, like bubbles under the scorching sun.

But this time, they really disappeared, and there was no longer any of the rustling sounds that made people's scalps tingle in the memory space.

"That young man...it's nothing. The swarm has subsided. I'll take you away."

Huang Quan wanted to say something but stopped himself, but finally chose to give up the topic about Jeremy.

After carefully observing Huang Quan's expression and finding that the other party did not seem to be lying, Xing finally nodded and let down his guard.

"Okay, which way are we going?"

“There’s no need to look anywhere else, this is the border of dreams.”

His fingertips once again rested on the hilt of his sword, and a figure with white hair and red eyes flashed by. When Xing reacted, a scratch had appeared on his chest without him knowing when.

The memories that made up the body in the dream blossomed into a bouquet of flowers in mid-air like blood, and Xing lost consciousness in an instant.

Watching another figure being sent out of the memory space, Huang Quan slowly bent down and picked up the half of the spider silk remaining on the ground. The special touch made the reminiscence in her eyes even stronger.

"This poison, this spider silk, so that's what it is..."

The slight confusion in his heart was resolved, and Huang Quan took out a backhand straight sword with a strange guard from somewhere. The spider-like guard was surprisingly similar to the pattern on Jeremy's spray gun, and there was also a strangely shaped key inserted in the center of the guard.

If someone who is familiar enough with Jeremy sees this thing, they will certainly open their eyes wide in surprise, because Jeremy also has this strange key in his hand, and he regards it as a treasure.

Looking up at the dome of the memory space, the person who could produce dreams has left, and this memory area is gradually collapsing. Only the voice of the empty person who no longer actively dreams is floating in it.

"Nefera, I found him..."

…………

"Mr. Jeramy!"

The singer, whose fame resounded throughout the world, woke up from his dream with a start, and subconsciously called out the name that he had no time to dodge in order to send him out.

Covering his heart, even though he knew that the other party's target in going to Pinocchio was himself, the core of the Harmony Ceremony, Robin couldn't help but worry about Jeremy.

At the last moment before waking up from the dream, she clearly felt that after she screamed, the speed of the spider silk rising suddenly increased a lot.

In order to get himself out safely, Jeremy gave up the opportunity to dodge and fight back at the first opportunity.

"I……"

An indescribable feeling of guilt quietly spread in his heart, and the feathers behind the robin's ears drooped slightly because of his owner's low mood.

"Miss Robin, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"

The Oak family's servants cast concerned glances at the singer. After all, in addition to being a famous singer, she was also the sister of the head of the Oak family and the de facto second-in-command.

If anything goes wrong, they can't afford it.

"Nothing, just a dream."

The robin shook his head, looked at the star of the event that was already within reach, and quickly gathered his emotions.

"Please help me contact my brother. I need to talk to him about something... Oh, and book a room at the Daydream Hotel. The person staying there is named... Jeremy."

"In your name?"

"No, in the name of Saturday, and tell the Hound family that if anyone really moves in... arrest him immediately and send him to the Chaolu Mansion."

Volume 20: Jeremy was booked into a hotel?

"You mean, on your way here, you dreamed of an adventure with a female singer, and at the end of the dream, you were chopped to death by a female ghost who suddenly appeared?"

In the communication channel, Sha Jin summarized Jeramy's story in a concise and misleading manner, with an irrepressible smile in his voice.

"Jerami, I understand the boy's restless heart, but you shouldn't fool everyone with your dream, right? The people in our company are actually pretty good. If things really don't work out, you can just lower your dignity and ask Long Jing. It's just that she occasionally sucks your blood. Even if you consider Topa... Topa, you should be more proactive. Although Jeremy isn't as handsome as me, he's also very popular."

[Shajin, you're looking for death, right?...Bang Bang, hit him!]

Topa, who was originally listening for fun, was inexplicably dragged into the water by the gold sand, and immediately began to fight back in anger.

The sounds of chasing, collisions, and objects being knocked to the ground...all sorts of sounds mixed together, everything there was, and the communication channel was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

[Okay, enough of the fun. Kakavasya and Yelena are about to enter Pinocchio. This is the last time we can communicate so easily.]

When the joyful noises of his subordinates gradually died down, Feicui, the senior, coughed lightly, signaling that the fun should stop.

The head of the family had spoken, and Shajin and Topa stopped their daily play, and the communication channel suddenly became quiet.

[According to the original plan, Shajin's luggage would be confiscated upon entering Pinoconi. Topa and I would use our cornerstones to shield him. This was a long-established plan... As for Jeramy...something went awry.]

The thoughtful Ms. Emerald once again repeated the original arrangement for the three of them, but when she mentioned Jeremy, her voice finally fluctuated.

"Several of the spies originally planted within Pinocchio were recently eliminated. I'll investigate the traitor within the company, but more importantly—Glass's existence may have been revealed, but they probably don't know your true identity yet."

"Didn't they say that no one would know that I'm the eleventh? Could it be that..."

After listening to the information told by Feicui, Jeramy couldn't help but frown.

Rather than the leak of this code name that he didn't like, Jeremy was more concerned about the leak itself.

Logically speaking, apart from the ten Stonehearts who were present at the time, Diamond should be the only one who knew about this.

Compared to this leak, there may be a traitor among the ten people in Shixin, which is a more serious matter.

"I know what you're trying to say, but among the ten people in Shixin, he's the least likely to cause any problems. Otherwise, the family might know more than just one code name."

To comfort Jeremy who was beginning to think divergently, a sharp light narrowed in his emerald eyes.

Although the company and the family seem to be getting along well, that is just to maintain the necessary decency.

For commercial spies who are caught secretly, it all depends on whether their relatives are willing to bring them back.

If not, the consequences can be imagined.

Even if the person is retrieved, it is customary to perform several large-scale memory recovery operations to squeeze out everything that can be squeezed out before handing him over.

If a corporate spy is exposed, even if you just know that he exists, the difficulty of taking action will increase exponentially.

Jeremy...

"Don't worry, Ms. Emerald. It's just a code name. It's not a difficult matter."

For others, exposing their actions might be fatal, but for Jeramy, who has mastered illusion, it is just a matter of making things a little more difficult.

"Glass is wanted, what does it have to do with me, Jeremy?"

[However, Jeremy has actually already entered the family's sight. ]

Jade spoke the second piece of information slowly and calmly, causing Jeramy's expression to freeze.

"what?"

[Just received intelligence: A woman named Saturday has booked a private room at the Daydream Hotel for a man named Jeramy. Proof of identity is a spray gun with a spider pattern on it... Opening a new room outside the invitation-only area isn't something everyone has the power to do. Your new friend has quite the influence.]

The brief words plunged the communication channel into silence once again, and everyone understood what it meant.

Daydream Hotel is one of the most core buildings of Pinocchio. The hotel quota is strictly controlled. One can use his own power to open a room alone to wait for someone who may not check in. That Miss Saturday is at least a middle or senior level.

Moreover, this behavior will definitely bring both parties into the family's sight. Even if it is just a note on the memo, it will have a significant impact on corporate espionage.

After a while, Sha Jin's voice murmured.

[So, Jeremy just had a dream encounter with a certain singer, and then immediately booked him a room at a hotel... This couldn't be a honey trap.]

After thinking about it, Sha Jin could only think of this possibility.

His past experiences convinced him that there would be no free lunch, but that he would most likely fall into various traps filled with poison.

[It's also possible that he's being kept by a wealthy woman. In his dream, Jeremy protected her and even risked being hacked to death by an unknown female ghost to get her out. Maybe that's what really got her heart racing... After all, young girls are all into this kind of thing. Next up is a one-stop service to keep her in the basement.]

Topana's voice, mixed with unclear meaning, also came from the communication, and for some reason it always made people feel sour.

[This is actually quite good. This way, Jeremy can stay at the Daydream Hotel legitimately, entering the dream world without having to sneak in, and it also provides an extra layer of cover.]

Seeing her subordinates so interested, Ms. Jade also joined in the topic, and her teasing voice made people feel embarrassed.

"Can't you just expect me to be nice? And how could I possibly stay at the Daydream Hotel so openly? Please have more faith in my ability as a corporate spy."

Bullied by his colleagues, Jeremy immediately made up his mind.

Even if he starved to death in Pinocchio or jumped off the roof of the Daydream Hotel, he would never choose to stay in the room Miss Saturday booked for him.

[Okay, enough small talk. Since Jeremy thinks it's okay, let's continue. Jeremy will first try to sneak into the dream world, and then Sha Jin will check into the Daydream Hotel.]

Starting with Ms. Emerald's voice, communication signals fell silent one after another.

Jeremy sat on the rooftop of the Daydream Hotel, letting the evening breeze of the event star caress his face, his eyes never leaving the advertising TV that covered the entire wall of the building not far away.

And there, a singing program by the world-famous singer, Miss Robin, was being played.
