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

"Miss Mockingbird?"

Like an eight-legged spider launching into action, Jeremy immediately jumped off the bed, took out a venom spray gun, and looked warily at the Singer of the Universe in front of him.

Although he didn't know why, Jeremy was sure that he had been kidnapped.

Without realizing it, he was transferred to an unfamiliar place, and a person who was theoretically hostile was looking at him with a smile.

If this isn't kidnapping, what is it? And it's kidnapping during sleep.

"Good morning, Mr. Jeremy. Although the time period of each moment in Pinocchio, named after dreams, is different, it is always morning here at the time of morning dew."

Looking at Jeremy with a wary look on his face, Robin smiled and nodded, then politely lifted the hem of her skirt and curtsied to him.

To receive such preferential treatment from the Singer of the World is a treatment that only super heavyweight VIPs can enjoy.

However, compared to the elegant figure of the universal singer in front of him, Jeremy cared more about what she said.

The moment of morning dew... That is to say, after being killed by Firefly again, he did not return to reality, but was intercepted by the other party in some unknown way and arrived at the moment of morning dew.

"Ms. Mockingbird, logically, I should have returned to reality by now, but since I'm here..."

"That's right, I was the one who tampered with the dream pool in that room."

Facing Jeremy's vigilant questioning, Robin nodded slightly and admitted very straightforwardly that that was what he had done.

"After all, that was Saturday's first time using his privileges, so it naturally caught my brother's attention. Naturally, I was also curious about Mr. Jeremy... So I had someone make some adjustments to the Dream Pool so that when it activates the dream escape program for the first time, it will send you to the Chaolu Mansion instead of returning you to reality."

After listening to the robin's explanation, Jeremy felt a black screen before his eyes.

Sure enough, he did not return to reality, but was intercepted halfway.

As a commercial spy and kidnapper, he actually fell into such a shameful trap. Jeramy immediately decided to keep this matter to himself, otherwise he would be laughed at by the Ten Stone Hearts for the rest of his life.

"In other words, here..."

Looking around and carefully examining the layout of the room, Jeremy suddenly had a bad suspicion in his mind.

After all, such a cozy decoration does not look like a guest room that has been vacant for a long time. There is even a half-finished bottle of Suleda on the desk.

If Jeremy saw correctly, it was the collector's edition that Fireworks disguised as a waiter delivered at the previous concert. Could it be that bottle?

"Yes, this is my room... Just kidding, this is actually Saturday's room. She has lived here since she was a child. Isn't it a surprise?"

"Okay, Mr. Jeremy, now you are my captive. Can you answer some of my questions? Otherwise, I will tell my brother that you sneaked into Saturday's boudoir... What will happen then? I am really curious."

The robin clasped its hands together and tilted its head cutely. The white feathers behind its ears even trembled slightly because of its owner's joy, like a holy angel.

But in Jeremy's eyes, the robin is not an angel at all, it is a devil crawling out of hell.

Sure enough, Miss Saturday was more elegant, decent and sensible. She would never play such an excessive joke on herself.

"Ms. Mockingbird, please don't make such jokes. I'm not some good, rule-abiding gentleman. My purpose in coming to Pinocchio is far beyond your imagination."

"I know, I know. Mr. Jeremy's goal was to kidnap me. I already knew about this the day I came back on Saturday. Otherwise, why do you think I went out of my way to have the Dream Pool renovated?"

The Universal Singer calmly took over Jeremy's words, seemingly unconcerned about his own safety.

Looking at Jeremy who seemed to have become more alert, Mockingbird didn't seem to care at all about the hostile relationship between the two. Instead, he kicked off his shoes, half-lying on the soft bed, looking at the boy who was looking at him across the bed, with a smile in his eyes.

"Let's stop chatting here. I know Mr. Jeramy is in a hurry right now. Don't worry, I really just want to ask a few questions. I won't ask for the Mother of Harmony's attention. After all, the truth of the answer is not important."

"First question, why do you want to kidnap me? I don't think that since Saturday trusts you so much, you would really be a vicious kidnapper... Unless she is truly lusting after you. Since Saturday trusts you so much, please don't betray her trust, okay?"

The sweet voice of the robin echoed in the room, completely quieting the atmosphere that was originally alert yet slightly lively.

Jeremy stared at the Universal Singer in front of him, and the singer also stared at him quietly, his crimson eyes filled with anticipation.

Of course, they were not the only ones who fell into silence. There was a special button embedded in the collar of the robin, which was connected to the sound track and faithfully transmitted the sound into the hall of Chaolu Mansion.

Sunday and a black crow sat at the table, quietly acting as silent listeners.

However, Sunday's expression didn't seem to be looking good.

"...I can't share the specific details. I can only tell you that one day I received a revelation from a certain Star God and saw a scene I had never imagined."

After a moment's silence, Jeremy spoke slowly.

This was a secret he had never revealed to Miss Saturday, and even his colleagues in the Strategic Investment Department had only mentioned part of it.

"So, what did you see?"

"Sun-blocking insect swarms, shattered gems, hoarse singers, tattered spiderwebs... it's not a happy story. To stop it all, I came to Pinocchio. Of course, my purpose isn't pure, and I have other goals mixed in with this trip, but those mentioned above are indeed my top priority."

"Is that so? It seems that the hoarse singer must be me."

After listening to Jeremy's explanation, the robin nodded thoughtfully, and the confusion in his heart was immediately answered.

No wonder Mr. Jeramy proposed to me kidnapping the robin so easily when we were in the memory space.

Apart from the fact that it was a joke, I'm afraid in his heart he didn't think he was doing anything bad.

A smile suddenly broke out on her pretty face, and the robin moved closer on the bed. In order to maintain a polite social distance, Jeremy was immediately pushed into the corner by her.

"So, Mr. Jeremy came all the way to Pinocchio just to protect me. I feel a little happy. Mr. Jeremy, why don't you give it a try? Maybe the robin will fall in love with you like Saturday did."

It seemed that the robin had no doubt about the truth of Jeramy's words, and he made remarks that were not sure whether they were a joke or serious.

[Clang——]

Sunday in the hall silently put down the glass that had been shattered into pieces in his hand, wiped off the powder in his hand calmly, and wondered in his mind how many layers of coffin lids he should nail on Jeremy.

Jeremy, who was unaware that someone was planning a funeral for him, climbed up the wall of the room like a frightened spider after hearing the robin's extremely bizarre speech.

Miss Saturday must never know this, otherwise someone will die, absolutely!

"Ms. Mockingbird, please don't make such ridiculous jokes. I'm very busy. You should send me off next."

"Of course, no problem. But since Mr. Jeramy is so busy, how about I save you some work... How about I go straight to your room and take you prisoner as soon as you open your eyes?"

Starting from Sunday's hands, fine cracks began to appear on the hard round table, like wild weeds growing wildly.

The Dream Master glanced at the crack under his feet, silently flew away from the round table, and stood on Sunday's shoulders.

"Mockingbird was just joking, calm down."

"I was just joking. Mr. Jeremy, please calm down. After all, I still have work to do for the Harmonious Music Festival, and I can't neglect my duties so easily. However, I do have one last question."

With a wave of his hand, Mockingbird signaled Jeremy to relax a little and asked his last question.

"Then let me ask, in Mr. Jeramy's eyes, what kind of relationship do I have with Saturday?"

The atmosphere fell into silence once again.

Sunday in the hall also stopped working on creating cracks in the round table.

He was more interested in his sister's emotional development than the already established reason for the kidnapping.

After hearing Robin's question, Jeramy's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

In fact, he had never thought about what kind of relationship he had with Miss Saturday.

To be called friends, the relationship between the two is too close.

But to talk about lovers would be a bit presumptuous. After all, neither I nor Miss Saturday had ever brought up such a topic.

"It seems Mr. Jeramy's consideration of the relationship between the two is more rigorous than I imagined. Well, there's still some time before the Harmony Ceremony, so why not take this opportunity to reflect carefully... I hope you can find the answers you seek in a sober reality."

Seeing Jeremy's hesitant expression, the robin smiled without saying anything, obviously already having the answer in his mind.

With a wave of her hand, the dream awakening program that had been blocked was activated again, and Jeremy's body began to turn into memory and slowly disappeared.

"Oh, by the way, before I leave, let me tell you one last secret. Saturday actually built a basement in the Chaolu Mansion specifically for you. If I hadn't tampered with the Dream Pool, you would have been sent there when you were dreaming using it. Of course, I'd love to send you there too... Anyway, remember my kindness in saving your life, dear Mr. Jeremy."

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

Opening his eyes again and looking at the familiar ceiling, Jeremy was finally sure that he had returned to reality.

Recalling the devilish singer of the universe in the Morning Dew Mansion, Jeremy couldn't help but sigh that the spotlight is indeed the biggest filter. Who would have thought that Miss Robin, who is gentle and elegant on the stage, would have such a side behind the scenes.

"The contrast of Miss Mockingbird is really hard to accept."

Mumbling something to himself, Jeramy breathed a sigh of relief that he had successfully returned to reality.

"Did the robin do anything disrespectful?"

"It's more than just being disrespectful. I even made some jokes that could be considered excessive. I don't think I'm as elegant and graceful as Miss Saturday... Eh?"

Subconsciously answering the question in his ear, Jeremy suddenly realized that there should be no one else in the room before he fell asleep.

He turned his head stiffly like a machine, and a blue-purple figure appeared in Jeremy's eyes.

"Miss Star... Saturday?"

Looking at Saturday lying on the edge of the Dream Pool and watching silently, Jeremy subconsciously exclaimed.

Especially the other party's sitting posture and gaze, which were almost identical to the robin just now, Jeremy couldn't help but sigh that the two of them were really worthy of being sisters.

However, when Jeremy thought about how he had just been talking to Miss Mockingbird about Miss Saturday in her room, and Miss Saturday was lying by the dream pool, quietly looking at his sleeping face, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Good evening, Mr. Jeramy. I thought I had no chance to see you stay in this room."

Looking at the somewhat flustered Jeremy, the robin raised the corners of his mouth and used a smile to hide the slight blush on his cheeks.

After all, she and Jeremy left Chaolu Mansion at the same time. If she wanted to appear in front of the other party as Saturday as soon as the other party opened his eyes in such a short time, she needed a dream pool that was very close.

And coincidentally, this room only has one dream pool.

"However, judging from what Mr. Jeramy said, you seemed to have had a very pleasant time with the robin just now."

Bathed in Saturday's meaningful gaze, an unprecedented sense of crisis quietly arose.

"We actually just chatted for a few minutes. It would be more accurate to say that I was asked questions by Miss Mockingbird unilaterally. Nothing else happened."

Feeling that Miss Saturday's gaze seemed to be getting a little strange, Jeremy hurriedly explained.

But for some reason, even though he was telling the truth, Jeremy still felt a little guilty.

"Yeah, I believe Mr. Jeramy."

It seemed that Miss Saturday didn't listen to Jeremy's explanation at all. She nodded obediently, as if to say whatever you said was the truth.

Jeremy fell silent again, as if Miss Saturday's unhesitating trust had completely put an end to the conversation.

Fortunately, an intelligent and mature voice interrupted the awkwardness between the two in time, otherwise it would be unknown how long it would take for the voice to be heard again in the room.

"Ahem, although I don't want to disturb your tryst, it's almost time."

Black Swan appeared in the room at some point, holding a tarot card with a door drawn on it.

Before we knew it, the appointment made three systems ago had arrived, and the patrolman holding the Jerami Holy Sword was about to come and visit.

When the business was mentioned, Jeremy's expression immediately returned to normal from a slight embarrassment, and there was even a hint of anticipation on his face.

The Holy Sword of the King, the treasure lost by Jeramy in the narrow space of nothingness, is also an indispensable condition for him to fully exert his full strength.

He originally thought that he would never have the chance to hold the hilt of the sword again in his life, but he didn't expect that the sword would fall into the hands of a sea patrol ranger and even appear in Pinocchio with him.

"I don't have anything to prepare. Please bring the Sea Ranger here, Rememberer."

Jeremy took a deep breath to calm his somewhat excited mood.

With outsiders present, the robin tactfully stopped admiring Jeremy's panicked expression and stood silently beside him.

"In that case, I'll call her over. But let me be clear, that Sea Ranger is a bit dull, so communication between you might not be that comfortable."

Black Swan nodded and threw the tarot cards in his hand into the air, and a new door opened.

When it comes to the use of memory, Liuguang Yiting is even far superior to Pinoconi. Even though this is a dream controlled by Pinoconi, it is still not difficult for her to open a portal.

It was with this method that the Black Swan toured almost all twelve moments of Pinocchio in a short period of time, and thus found the trace of the Void Walker.

Unfortunately, the black swan is still missing in the dream cage.

As for why he had to be the one to send the sea patrol ranger off... Black Swan really doubted that if he didn't help, the other party would get completely lost in the dream.

The door was slowly pushed open, and a figure that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar appeared in front of Jeremy.

Her long purple hair fell to her knees, a purple sword was across her waist, and her crimson eyes complemented her purple robe.

After seeing the figure clearly, Jeremy's eyes fixed and he subconsciously took a fighting stance.

"It's you?"

Although the color had changed, Jeremy would never forget this face.

It was this guy who suddenly attacked him when he was about to send Miss Saturday out of the memory space, which directly caused him to "die" in the dream.
