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

Looking at the singer in front of him, Sunday denied the other's confidence for the first time, as if he had some hidden meaning.

"I... understand. At this critical moment, it's really not appropriate to let personal actions affect the Harmony Ceremony. I will keep my distance from Mr. Jeramy for the time being."

Nodding somewhat dejectedly, the bluish-purple figure took two steps forward, looking at the head of the Oak family in front of him, seeming a little curious.

"Brother, what happened? You look a little depressed and... angry. Did something unexpected happen during the preparations for the Harmonious Music Ceremony?"

"Yes, a lot has happened. I've received many reports. The shadow of death is echoing in Pinocchio, and the sound of insect swarms flapping their wings can be heard from time to time... Oh, sorry, I forgot you just got back from a date and probably don't know about this yet."

He made a slightly apologetic sound, Sunday's smile was a little forced, and he looked a little worried.

"I don't know when it started, but the shadow of death began to descend... In the family's dream, no misfortune should happen, but they destroyed the harmony and order of Pinocchio, wantonly toying with and mocking the tragedy of innocent people. How hateful."

When mentioning this, there was a hint of obvious annoyance in Sunday's voice, as if he had been troubled by this matter for a long time.

"To think something like this happened... Was someone killed again?"

The robin raised his hand to his lips in surprise, looking completely clueless.

"Yes, I just confirmed that another person has experienced mental death in Pinocchio, and that person is... you!"

Turning around indifferently, Sunday no longer fixed his gaze on the "Mockingbird", as if he didn't want this despicable fake to destroy the image of his sister in his heart.

"That's enough, Fool. Your actions chill me to the bone."

The smile of pretended surprise on the corner of his mouth froze, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a cunning smile. Crimson cherry blossoms appeared in his eyes, and the Masked Fool slowly revealed his true identity.

"You're quite perceptive, Chicken Wing Boy. But I'm curious where I revealed my flaw."

"...My sister wouldn't say anything like actively distancing herself from Jeremy."

After a moment's silence, Sunday explained his argument somewhat depressedly, and even he himself seemed not to hope that this argument would come true.

But unfortunately, this is the truth.

From the moment Mockingbird said he would keep his distance from Jeremy, Sunday had already determined that the other party was nothing but a despicable fake.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Sunday knew very well that his sister would not distance herself from Jeremy just because of his few words, let alone on the grounds of the Harmony Festival.

Just kidding, Mockingbird even cleaned up the basement. Instead of reducing contact with Jeremy in preparation for the Harmony Festival, Sunday felt that it was more likely that his sister would trick that guy into the basement and lock him up until the end of the Harmony Festival.

Even Sunday himself didn't know how his pure and innocent sister became like this.

Sure enough, it’s all that guy named Jeremy’s fault.

But now, it is obvious that the fool in front of him who pretends to be his sister is more hateful.

"[Ode to Harmony] Truth be told, the words of a fool begin with folly and end with treacherous arrogance... Please return, for His dream does not welcome you."

"Don't be so serious. I just want to ask, at this point, are you still not going to take action?"

There is cunning and treachery in Hanabi's smile, as if a fool is excitedly watching a silly show happening in front of him, looking forward to what kind of masterpiece the next characters will present.

"I wasn't lying just now. Your dear sister is indeed on a date with Jeremy. A swarm of insects is swarming around them, ready to attack. It won't be long before they become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks. You... probably don't want to watch them soar into the sky and turn into lovebirds."

"Not yet. Until His eyes discern who is righteous and who is wicked, I will become a sharp sword that separates the clear from the turbid, and judge according to justice. So... stop defileing my sister with your treacherous tongue, you vile fool."

Looking up at the light in the dome, Sunday murmured to himself.

It's not that he doesn't worry about his sister's safety, but some things can't be rushed.

For example... [Chorus] Dominic's séance.

However, it's soon.

The magnificent music has already begun, and the power of the order level is gathering and condensing.

When the music is finished, Dominic of the [Chorus] will descend at the call of Sunday, transforming into a sword of judgment, and using an unquenchable fire to burn all existence that attempts to threaten the [order] of Pinocchio.

"The murderer has been exposed in His light. It won't be long before he falls to the ground because of his own scheme."

"If he does not turn back, then his sword will be sharpened and his bow will be strung, so that the evil brought by the wicked will be brought upon his own head. Then the presumptuous man who does not love God will realize that he is only a mortal and will go down to Hades..."

"May those who overstep their bounds recognize the current situation and consciously retreat before accepting humiliation."

Unable to stop the Fool's departure, Sunday stood in the light and muttered to himself.

As the last syllable of the prayer fell, his originally brown eyes almost completely turned silver, and his tone, which was originally a little worried, became emotionless.

At this moment, he no longer looks like a rule maker or maintainer, but more like the cold and ruthless rules (order) itself.

………………

"Gallagher?"

Looking at the decadent man who suddenly appeared, Jeremy immediately took out the venom spray gun vigilantly, pointed it at the mysterious man, and was ready to fight again at any time.

Although the cornerstone was used by him to fill the hole and cannot be used temporarily, it does not mean that Jeremy's strength will decline.

It has only been a short time since he got the cornerstone, and he has not yet regarded it as an inseparable part of himself. Most of the time, he still uses it as another means of fighting to hide his identity.

"Don't be so hostile to me. We're not enemies. Rather, I sincerely invited you from the beginning, but you refused... If you had agreed from the beginning, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, there was no fear in Gallagher's eyes, even though he knew that the poison contained in it could easily take his life.

With his hands raised to his sides in a playful manner, Gallagher cracked a joke in his humorless voice.

"Surrender, surrender... How about that? This will show my sincerity, right?"

"Mr. Gallagher, you just said that the end of Pinocchio is coming. What's going on... Also, where is Miss Star?"

Noticing that other people in Liumeng Reef who noticed the movement here began to cast wary glances in this direction, Robin gently pulled Jerami's clothes, signaling him not to be impulsive, and at the same time asked the two questions that he and Jerami were most concerned about.

What is the end of Pinoconte that the other party mentioned?

And where is that nameless gray-haired guest?

Noticing the wary looks from others, Jeremy frowned slightly.

It wasn't that he felt threatened; quite the contrary, he frowned precisely because he didn't feel threatened.

There was no hostility in those people's vigilance. Instead, there was a hint of hope and... worry, as if they were afraid that they were waiting for the wrong person.

Bathed in this strange gaze, Jeremy lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly, but the hostility in his words did not diminish in the slightest.

"Tell me where the star is, now."

"I knew you would ask that. When you're in an unfamiliar place like this, aren't you the first person you care about? It seems Mikhail is waiting for the right person. You and he are both idiots."

After making some unabashed complaints, Gallagher noticed that Jeremy's gaze was becoming increasingly hostile. Finally, he shrugged, knowing that he was bored, and looked away.

"Look, she's over there, she's been waiting for you for a long time."

Jeramie and Robin followed Gallagher's gaze, but saw only an empty and deserted street.

A breeze blew by, picking up a few pieces of waste paper and blowing them next to the trash can.

Apart from that, there was nothing else in that alley.

"Mr. Gallagher, please don't make such a bad joke at this time. The trust between us is still very fragile and there is no basis for fooling each other."

Looking at the empty alley, the robin frowned deeply, feeling as if he had been fooled.

This Gallagher looks depressed. Could he be a masked fool in secret?

"Wait, Miss Robin, come with me."

Reaching out to stop Robin, who looked a little unhappy, Jeramy grabbed her wrist and led her into the alley and to the trash can.

If it had been anyone else, Jeremy would have immediately thought Gallagher was making a fool of himself.

But if the person he was looking for was the star core spirit, Jeramy would have no doubt that Gallaher was telling the truth.

Even if Jeremy doesn't trust Gallagher's character, he should believe in Xing's love for the trash can.

Reaching out and pinching the lid of the trash can, Jeremy slowly lifted it up a little.

The light from outside penetrated into the trash can, illuminating the pair of golden eyes and the neat gray hair.

"Jerami, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xing poked her head out of the trash can with the lid on, looked at Jeremy in surprise and put her arms around his waist.

"Woo woo...Jerami, you have to stand up for me. The people in Liumeng Reef are bullying me."

"what?"

Hearing Xing's crying, Jeremy was suddenly surprised.

Doesn't he know that this star core spirit has taken away the rare items from the Black Tower and killed Ruan Mei's experimental subjects. It's good enough that she doesn't bully others, so how could it be the turn of others to bully her?

"What did they do to you?"

"As soon as she entered Liumengjiao, she started doggy-paddling at the trash cans in the streets and alleys, scaring everyone else and causing them to quickly hide all the trash cans. The one she's in now is a new one I found for her. She's like she's home, staying in there and won't come out... Don't worry, this trash can is new and very clean."

Gallagher, who had followed them here, spoke and explained to them in detail the reasons why Xing had fallen into such a state.

After listening to Gallagher's explanation, Jeremy was silent for a moment. He looked at Xing, who was crying in the trash can, and then looked at the clean trash can lid in his hand. He silently pressed Xing's head to put the lid back on, and even sealed it with spider silk.

Sure enough, this star core spirit just needs education.

"Jerami, that's too much, too much."

After finally getting out of the trash can, Xing looked at Jeremy in front of him angrily, his gorgeous golden eyes wide open, like a kitten with its fur standing on end, and even let out a threatening whimper from his throat from time to time.

Xing also knew that her hobby was indeed somewhat unique, but that was no reason for Jeremy to go so far.

He actually sealed himself in the trash can and kicked it down the stairs like a ball. I have no dignity left in me.

"I'm going to tell Liuying to beat you up."

Being looked at like this by Xing, Jeramy sighed helplessly.

It was indeed his fault for stuffing the star into the trash can, but rolling down the stairs was purely the star core spirit's own fault.

It was clearly her own fault that she moved around and ended up overturning the trash can from the inside, causing it to roll all the way down. How can she blame me for that?

Rubbing Xing's head like coaxing a child, Jeremy took out the burning fire gun and threw it back into Xing's arms.

"Stop talking nonsense. You've been here so long in advance. Have you noticed anything wrong? I don't trust that guy named Gallagher."

He picked up the familiar flame gun, and the gun burning with amber flames did not burn its owner, but instead consciously restrained the flames on it.

After putting away the flame gun, Xing looked at Jeremy in front of him suspiciously, and even began to suspect that this guy had been replaced by someone.

"Jerami, you actually have a cautious side. I used to think you were the type who was super easy to deceive. You would believe anything someone said."

Although they had not known each other for long in theory, Xing's first impression of Jeramy was not that of a savior or a gentle boy.

But... easy to deceive.

Yes, easy to cheat.

Regardless of whether he knew Jeremy before, the fact that he asked him to be his love strategist without any doubt made Xing certain that this guy was the kind of person who would easily trust others.

If he wanted to, he could easily make the other party take him to visit Aideen Park eight times like a sucker. But if he fell into the hands of someone like Kafka, who was more cunning than spider silk, he might be sold out and foolishly help others count the money.

Judging from the Star Core Spirit's life experience of half a year, Jeramy is definitely the type with a short life span, and he is only alive today because of his good luck.

But now, Jeremy actually said that he couldn't trust others. This made the same difference to Xing as Ji Zi saying that she would never make coffee again.

"I'm suddenly curious about what kind of image I have in your eyes. Besides, a place like this is full of weirdness, so it's normal to be on guard."

Taking Xing and Robin to sit on a bench by the roadside, Jeremy began to ask Xing for specific information about Liumeng Reef.

Although Gallagher had mentioned some of this to him before, Jeremy didn't believe the man who was made up entirely of lies.

"Dream Reef? I don't know much about it. After all, I've only been here for a short time."

Recalling his knowledge of Liumeng Reef, Xing slowly explained this land of death to Jeremy.

"Dream Reef wasn't a dream created by the family. It's said to have existed long before Pinocchio's independence. The watchmaker has been living in seclusion here since a falling out with the family. It's not so much a retreat as it is a quest to stay and watch over something, even failing to see off an old friend who embarked on a journey where his life was uncertain."

The three tombstones he saw in the cemetery flashed through his mind, and Xing's cheerful face became a little gloomy.

Before entering Liumeng Reef, she really didn't expect that the nameless guest had set foot in Pinoconi ten Amber Ages ago and left such an indelible story here.

"Watch?"

When this word was mentioned, Jeremy was slightly stunned.

Although this star core spirit usually looks cute and naive, it is actually quite smart, at least it has no problems with its choice of words and sentences.

The word "watch" is not something that can be used casually.

"Yes, watch."
