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

Her purple-red eyes were as gorgeous as red agate, and her pretty face with a sly smile proved that she was indeed a little fox, just like the black and white fox mask on her head.

"My name is Hanabi, nice to meet you, Spider-boy from Interstellar Peace Corporation."

Gently lifting the silk ribbon embroidered with red cherry blossoms behind her, Hanabi seemed to be obediently bowing to Jeremy.

However, the strange smile revealed in those eyes as gorgeous as red agate made people have to be vigilant and wonder if they would accidentally become a clown in the other party's foolish play.

Looking at the venom spray gun that had been aimed at her from a hidden angle as soon as she showed up, Huabi not only did not feel afraid, but there was even a flash of joy in her eyes.

This spider pattern looks a little familiar, if I remember correctly...

"I'm a fool from the tavern. What do you want from me, Miss Hanabi?"

Even though the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Jeremy still didn't let his guard down. At most, he just moved the venom spray gun that was secretly pointing at Hanabi to a different position, so that it was pointed at her openly.

After all, the Masked Fool's name is quite famous in the universe.

This group of people have always been seeking pleasure, and having no bottom line and no moral integrity is their label. When they are having fun, they usually don't care much about the feeling of having fun.

Although Jeramy would occasionally harm his teammates, he still felt inferior to the Masked Fool's evilness.

"Of course I'm here to have fun. I recently discovered something really fun."

Ignoring the venom spray gun that seemed to be ready to fire at any moment, Hanabi jumped onto the parapet of the Dior Shopping Center, using the top that looked like a castle wall as a springboard with scales. She looked lively and didn't seem to worry about falling at all.

"You probably saw that commercial about the chicken wing girl a while ago too, right? Want to join me for some fun?"

"I'm sorry, Fool, but I don't want to be your accomplice, nor do I want to be your joke. You'd better find someone else."

Although the target was also the robin, Jeramy did not want to act with this unpredictable fool.

After all, people who believe in joy are often fickle, and who knows if this fool will secretly stab him in the back.

"I have no choice. After all, the Rememberer from Liuguang Yiting rejected my invitation. So I have no choice but to come to you. After all, there are not many people in Pinocchio who can catch my eye."

The Fool named Hanabi jumped over the wall to Jeramy's side and threw a button shaped like a cherry blossom into his hand.

"This is the Mutually Assured Destruction Button issued by Lady Hanabi. With just a push, you can blast your opponent skyward. Feel honored, Spider-boy! This is proof of Lady Hanabi's approval."

Hua Huo put her hands on her hips and raised her pretty face proudly, as if waiting for Jeremy's grateful worship.

However, after waiting for a long time, Hua Huo did not hear the voice she wanted to hear. It was not until a while later that Jeremy's slightly confused question made Hua Huo open her eyes again.

"Fool, you didn't pick up the wrong fake, did you? I pressed the button but there was no response at all."

Jeremy took the button thrown by Hanabi and looked at the Fool in front of him in confusion. His hand pressed the button again and again quickly, and he pressed it several times while speaking.

"Why haven't you exploded yet?"

"Of course this thing only activates after pressing both sides. Spider-boy, are you really that excited to see me get blown up into the sky?"

"Of course I look forward to helping the people get rid of harm."

Looking at Jeremy who was obviously trying to sabotage her, Huahuo narrowed her eyes and wondered if she should just give up on trying to get him to join her gang and just turn him into a joke.

However, out of her desire for happiness, Hanabi chose to mercifully give Jeramy another chance.

She had a feeling that she would have a lot of fun with Jeremy.

After all, he is...

Looking at the purple spider pattern on the venom spray gun, Hanabi's eyes, which were already filled with a playful smile, became even more reserved.

"Spider-boy, don't be so quick to refuse. I'm sure you'll be interested in my conditions."

Walking around Jeremy in a slightly exaggerated manner, Hanabi slowly opened her mouth and stated her conditions.

"When I came to Pinocchio, I went into the memory space and had a good time. The adventures of the trainee singer and the corporate spy were so interesting. Even if it was just an afterimage, it was still fun, so I thought..."

Hanabi stopped in front of Jeremy and looked up at the business spy who was much taller than her.

"Don't you think it would be more fun if the apprentice singer defeated the Universal Singer and became the protagonist of the Harmony Festival, rather than directly disrupting the Harmony Festival?"

Volume 26: It's so fun

"That sounds interesting, but even if you say so, I won't accept your invitation, Fool."

Jeremy retracted his venom spray gun. Since the other party had no intention or ability to force him, it was not easy for him to just reach out and hit the smiling man.

But even so, Jeremy still did not agree to Huo Bi's plan.

Although Miss Saturday was no worse than the robin from the bottom of her heart, Jeremy knew very well that his relationship with Miss Saturday was not good enough to interfere with her choice.

Besides, he had hinted to Saturday that he could help her create some trouble for the robin, but unfortunately, his hint was ignored by the other party very bluntly.

Elegant, outstanding, and upright...

Although they had not been together for a long time, Jeremy had roughly figured out Miss Saturday's character. She would never use any despicable means in the competition.

"What a shame, Spider-Boy. I was hoping to share some little secrets with you, like... 'The indestructible god, sleeping peacefully on a bed of ice,' what does that even mean?"

Hanabi smiled and uttered some confusing riddles, but the next second, the venom spray gun that Jeremy had put away was already against her forehead.

"Could you please tell me where you heard this riddle, Miss Hanabi?"

Jeremy's face was full of smiles, but anyone could see the danger behind that smile.

The index finger on the trigger of the spray gun trembled slightly. Jeremy stared at the Fool in front of him, as if trying to see the truth from those gorgeous red onyx eyes.

However, there was nothing. The Fool in front of him just kept smiling the same way. Even when his forehead was pressed, his smile did not change at all, as if he had already known that Jeremy would react like this.

"Don't underestimate the Masked Fool's intelligence network, Spider-Boy."

Without any intention of dodging, Hua Huo took a step forward with the muzzle of the spray gun, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more joyful.

"But that riddle is already outdated. Even if you knew the answer, you'd never find the treasure that no longer exists. Besides, there's no such thing as an eternally frozen ice collapse in Pinocchio. How about we play a new game?"

"That's interesting. Tell me about it. Fool, what do you want to play?"

Jeremy raised his eyebrows, a slight smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

But the vigilance towards the girl in his eyes did not drop in the slightest.

"Relax, Spider-Boy. In this vast Pinoconte, finding what you want is like looking for a needle in a haystack without a qualified guide."

Hanabi hummed a little tune, and her face showed no change in emotion caused by having her head pressed against the muzzle of a gun.

Rather, she was enjoying it.

"Just like everyone who comes here has their own purpose, like me, and like you?"

The girl pointed her finger at herself and then at the boy in white.

Even Jeremy had to admit that what Hanabi said was right.

He really needs a qualified guide.

Regarding what he was looking for, the only person in the entire Pinocchio who was qualified to act as a guide could not be an ordinary family member.

Even within the family known for their harmony, they were merely the ones receiving orders and had absolutely no access to such secrets.

and so……

Does the key to the problem still lie with the universal singer?

Thinking of the figure of the singer, Jeremy's eyes fell on the largest electronic billboard during the golden hour.

On that huge billboard, the rules of the warm-up performance were being played over and over again.

Jeremy originally didn't want to get too deeply involved in this trap that was obviously set for him, but now it seems that he may have to take it a little more seriously.

As the sister of the head of the Oak family, the Miss Singer of the Universe must know something that is more secretive than other family members.

The singer definitely knows where those pristine memories that are never open to tourists are and how to get there.

But how should he approach Miss Robin became another problem.

Especially given his public identity as a stowaway, it is obviously not suitable for him to go through normal channels for his family. In other words... if he wants to achieve his goal, he needs to use some unconventional backdoors.

For example, find a member of the Oak family to introduce him.

Thinking of this, Jeremy burst out laughing.

This was obviously unlikely. It would have been fine if he hadn't used an official identity and wasn't wanted. There was no reason why the Oak family would have taken the initiative to introduce him...

No, or rather there is one.

The image of a girl from the Tianhuan tribe in a beige coat unconsciously emerged in his mind, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"No need, Fool. I already have a partner of your choice."

In order to have less contact with people in the tavern, Jeramy rejected Huahu's suggestion to go with him.

"But if you really do have an intelligence network, then I can ask you to do me a favor."

There was a gleam in the girl's cherry blossom-like eyes, and she smelled something fun.

Hanabi looked at Jeremy excitedly with a smile on her face.

"Interesting, Spider-Boy. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Since Miss Hanabi has given me a question, I think you wouldn't mind giving me another hint. Where is the singer I met in the memory realm on Saturday now?"

When Huabi heard Jeremy's question, she was already smiling, but her expression was startled for a moment, and then she showed an even happier smile.

This is really... so much fun!

Thinking that the spider boy in front of her seemed to have not realized something yet, Hanabi suppressed her desire to reveal the mystery in advance, and her eyes looked at the spider boy with even more joy.

"Ahem... Since you're so eager to know the whereabouts of that singer, Lady Hanabi will mercifully tell you."

"Turn right on Grax Avenue, go straight, and then turn left. Remember to play the Dream Pai Le for two and a half systems in a row, and the bird in the cage will naturally appear in front of you. Of course, remember to be careful of her cage."

After hearing Hua Huo's inexplicable words, even Jeremy was stunned.

What does "bird in a cage" and "be careful with her birdcage" mean?

Before he could think about the meaning of Hanabi's words, the words from the Fool suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"One last tip for you, Spider-Boy."

After saying this, the mask hanging above Hanabi's head suddenly cracked, as if the fox mask, which was forcibly glued together with black and white, was smoothly split into two halves along the boundary line between black and white.

The mask, which was broken into two halves, fell to the ground under the action of gravity and was completely shattered. The fireworks in front of Jeremy also emitted a little fluorescence, and the flamboyant red color became increasingly faint.

The masked Fool began to hum softly, a short riddle slowly flowing out of her mouth. The crystal light of her memories made the Fool, who was enjoying herself, look a little more sacred.

"The radiant one-horned master, leisurely struggling in the cage of dreams—want to know the answer? Then go find it, but don't be too impatient. After all, your time has not yet come... Of course, if you are ever interested in my plan, you are welcome to come and find me at any time."

The Lord of the One-Horned Shining One...the Cage of Dreams.

After carefully chewing on the fool's joke, Jeremy probably had a guess in his mind.

Pinocchio is a frontier prison. It is not an exaggeration to call it a cage of dreams. What is important is where the so-called one-horned lord is.

However, what is certain is that it is definitely not within the area open to the public by the family, at least not within the few areas that tourists and foreign guests can visit.

It seems that I really have to ask Miss Saturday for help.

ps: Please give me some votes, I heard this is useful.

Volume 27: A Star Girl Fell from the Sky

In the guest room of the Daydream Hotel, after seeing off batches of uninvited guests, the gray-haired pioneer finally learned to close his door tightly.

After looking around for a while and making sure that no one would disturb his dream again, Xing suddenly kicked off his shoes happily like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and pounced into the dream pool like a hungry tiger.

Although Xing had experienced the layout of the Daydream Hotel in the memory space, he had no chance to experience it properly because the patrol ranger was present at that time and a continuous swarm of insects appeared soon after.

After being delayed by the company's senior executives and the patrol ranger, she estimated that she was the last one to fall asleep in the train crew.

Lying down on the shell backrest in the dream pool, Xing couldn't wait to start the dream process and closed his eyes peacefully.

Half asleep and half awake, Xing walked into the canvas on the wall, climbed a short flight of stairs, and passed through the door in front of him that looked like a canvas.

Xing closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the breeze on her face.

I have to say that the experience of entering the dreamland through Pinocchio's official dream pool is really good, and it is completely different from the feeling of opening your eyes and seeing the world change when you accidentally fall in.

A gentle breeze blew on her face, and the slight feeling of weightlessness made Xing smile comfortably, but she didn't know if it was her illusion... She always felt that the feeling of weightlessness was getting worse and worse, and the sound of the wind was becoming louder and louder.

The gray-haired pioneer opened his eyes, and the glory of the golden hour was imprinted in his golden eyes and was constantly magnifying.

So... why did I fall from the sky after I fell into the dream?

Xing Su was falling rapidly in the air, with his limbs raised, as if trying his best to grab something to prevent himself from falling.

But unfortunately, although Pinocchio is a place of dreams, it is not a fairy tale and cannot make her fly out of thin air.
