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

He was more lamenting that he seemed to have no chance to visit the grave.

He gently stroked his heart with his right hand wrapped in a white glove. He might not have the chance to visit the grave, but Jeremy believed that he really needed to take some evil into the grave.

"I'll take you here. Keep going along this road. There's a rooftop bathed in moonlight. That was Mikhail's favorite resting place. At the end of his life, he chose to sleep under the moonlight."

Gallagher pointed to the wide enough road ahead, indicating that he could only take them so far.

"Let's go, Mr. Jeramy, and see what kind of legacy and responsibility the father of Pinocchio has left you."

Robin nodded at Jeramy and was about to take a step, but was stopped by Gallagher's outstretched hand.

"Excuse me, Miss Robin, but can I ask you for a favor?... Within Liumeng Reef, there are many children who grew up here, as well as some elderly people who have fallen on hard times. They may never hear the harmonious music that seems to cleanse their souls in their entire lives. Now that you've arrived, I wonder if they'll have the same good fortune."

Looking at the hand that was blocking its way and had no intention of retreating, the robin frowned in displeasure.

Her gorgeous eyes lingered on Jeramy and Xing for a moment before finally focusing on Gallagher in front of her.

She could probably understand that no matter what the reason was or what situation he was in, [Watchmaker] Mikhail still had some irreconcilable conflicts with his family.

Even though he is now in a different situation and may not care about such things, as a follower, Gallagher is still worried about the robin belonging to the family.

At least, the inheritance Mikhail left to Jeramy and the nameless guest was something he did not want to be shared by his family.

"No, Miss Robin has to come with me."

Before the robin could say anything, Jeremy took a step forward and protected the Singer of the Universe behind him.

Looking at Gallagher who was blocking his way, Jeremy's attitude was equally tough.

"Miss Mockingbird has been kidnapped by me now. As a qualified kidnapper, I cannot tolerate the hostage leaving my sight."

Protecting the robin with his arms behind him, Jeremy stared at Gallagher in front of him without retreating.

It’s difficult to handle...

Looking at Jeremy, whose favoritism was almost written all over his face, Gallagher sighed helplessly.

Gallagher's own plan was to prevent the robin from entering the child's moonlight. He did not want any of his family members to enter Mikhail's resting place.

But it was also Mikhail's wish to guide Jeramy and the new unknown guest to the heritage, and he could not go against it.

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Gallagher took a step back, signaling that he could give in.

"Okay, okay, anyway, listening to music is fine at any time. Now it's more important to do business."

Watching Gallagher retreat and give in, Jeramie grabbed the robin's wrist, intending to take her into the child's moonlight, but the universal singer gently broke free from his grasp.

"Mr. Jeramy, I think Mr. Gallagher has some truth to his words. Family harmony shouldn't just be sung in prosperous cities. People trapped in distressed places need the protection of harmony even more."

There was a hint of mystery in the blue-purple eyes, and the robin smiled at Jeremy.

"Besides, the insect swarm is currently besieging Liumeng Reef. It's not advisable to stay here for long. I might be able to make some preparations now for a breakout later. So... could you please grant me a moment of freedom, Mr. Kidnapper? Please, please, please."

Seeing the robin clasping his hands together in a playful and cute gesture of asking for help, Jeremy subconsciously turned his face away, feeling that his spirit had been greatly shocked.

Is this really something the Universal Singer would do? I wish it was Miss Saturday who was posing so cutely.

"Take this with you. He will protect me...oh no, keep an eye on you for me."

After a moment's silence, Jeremy placed the venom spray gun in front of the robin, completely forgetting his previous qualities as a professional kidnapper.

After all, he was almost kidnapped by someone before, a professional kidnapper or something... He was really not familiar with the person, and he couldn't afford to lose face. His identity should be that of a glass.

"This is my mother's relic, don't damage it."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Volume 80: God Wolf Spider

Bathed in the childish moonlight, Jeremy and Xing walked through the somewhat long corridor and climbed up the stairs along the solution that extended upwards.

"Jerami, here..."

Halfway through the journey, Xing murmured something strange and looked around. Figures appeared out of thin air, all made of translucent memory matter, emitting a bright and crystal light under the childish moonlight.

"Hmm, there's something strange here. The concentration of mementoes is unexpectedly high, comparable to the mementoes outside of Pinocchio."

Jeremy also saw these remnants of the past made up of memories. If nothing unexpected happens, they will witness the story of the unknown guest named Mikhail on their next journey.

Looking at the afterimages passing by in front of him, Jeremy was a little surprised. It seemed that Mikhail was more determined than he had imagined.

Dreams are like the ocean, which may appear calm, but if stirred by the winds of thoughts, they can create unimaginable waves.

Only those with strong wills can leave their own traces in the waves called dreams, but the only one who can leave so many shadows...as far as Jeramy knows, the only other person who can do this is himself.

However, the traces he left behind were not the remnants of the past, but an endless swarm of insects.

"Let's move on. I also want to know what my senior is watching over."

Xing took a deep breath, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his usually lively and cheerful face. He walked with Jeremy among the afterimages, listening to the echoes left by Mikhail's past.

[Mikhail, have you really decided? That piece of amber containing a spider surrounded by a swarm of stinging insects doesn't look like an auspicious thing.]

[Tiernen, there's a swarm's nest deep within Pinoconi. I believe that amber is the key. For the future of Pinoconi, take this risk with me. After all, you're the most trustworthy guard of the Star Train.]

[Ahahaha... Of course. As an unknown person who has pioneered the way forward, how could I, Tiernen, be afraid of a mere swarm of insects?]

The two young men stood side by side, gazing up at the sky, one of them holding his hat which seemed to be blown by the wind, while the other held the ** at his waist. He looked very heroic in his military uniform.

[Mikhail, I heard you successfully achieved a simple communication with that insect crystal. You truly are the most imaginative of us all, always able to accomplish such incredible things.]

"Izarina, please stop laughing at me. You know how much time I've put into this, but there's one thing I really need your help with. As the best mechanic ever to work on the Star Express, I'd like you to draw up a design for a giant mecha. If it works, perhaps Pinocchio won't have to fear the Zerg's threat anymore."

A young man wearing a top hat stood opposite a slim woman. His voice sounded much more mature and a little hoarse, but the passion in it remained unchanged.

However, when the word "mecha" entered Jeremy's ears, he was subconsciously startled and felt a little surprised.

Mecha, could it be...

As Xing quickened his pace, more and more afterimages appeared in front of Jeremy's eyes, and echoes of the past also penetrated into his ears.

[Izalina, are you leaving? ]

"Yes, Pinocchio has settled down, and it's time for me to continue your journey. The general design of the mecha is complete, but unfortunately the energy connection and control center have not been perfected. It seems completely different from the areas I've been involved in before. I can't even determine what kind of energy it was originally designed to drive... The rest of the journey may be up to you, Mikhail."

This time, both voices sounded much older. The departing woman left a half-finished blueprint to the young man in the top hat, and then embarked on a journey to the other side of the starry sea.

[Old man, are you asleep? Sleeping on the table is bad for your health. You can draw this design after you wake up.]

This time, Gallagher's silhouette appeared in the afterimage, but his voice was still very young at that time, and was not at all decadent like it is now.

Mikhail's voice was already frail, giving people a feeling that it was about to die.

"Yes, perhaps it's time for me to rest. Unfortunately, even after Izarina left, the energy connection and central control issues remain unsolved. The mecha that Bug Crystal showed me seems completely different from the mechanical systems of other civilizations."

Before they knew it, Jeremy and Xing had stepped onto the last step. Looking at the reclining chair bathed in moonlight, they both subconsciously held their breath, watching the afterimage slowly walk towards the final resting place.

Under the childish moonlight, an unknown guest named Mikhail placed an insect crystal in his hat and approached the couch, holding the hat that had accompanied him for most of his life.

He was very old, and even his steps were shaky. He even needed to hold on to the edge of the recliner to make sure that his cloudy eyes were not seeing things correctly, and finally he dared to sit down slowly.

[Unfortunately, I wanted to leave a dream bubble, but now it seems I don't have the luxury of that.]

Looking up at the Pinocchio Theater in the sky, the unknown guest who had pioneered his life muttered to himself.

My descendants, I don't know if you can still see the afterimage I left behind, but I believe you will be able to understand my will... The hands of a clock repeat themselves, just like people's confusion, troubles, and weaknesses, wavering and uncertain, but ultimately, people must still move forward... Just like the compass on a train, it always points forward.

[And you, Lord of the Narrow Space, my companion whom I have never met. I do not know your name, but ever since I spent several Amber Ages finally establishing a rudimentary connection with the Insect Crystal, your name has been sung among the wolf spiders. This unfinished blueprint is for you. Unfortunately, I can only complete some minor tasks, but I believe that one day, you will be able to restore the glory of the Guardian.]

The moonlight was bright, and the shadow of the man sitting on the recliner gradually faded, revealing Mikhail's long-dead body, with only the last echoes echoing in the moonlight.

[This is the end of my pioneering work, but there are no graves or tributes here, only me and you, my fellow travelers.]

The echoes of the past gradually faded from her ears. Xing silently took the still exquisite, dust-free top hat from Mikhail's hand, while Jeremy took out a piece of clear amber and a carefully folded design drawing from the hood of the top hat.

Under the bright moonlight, the eight-legged spider lay quietly in the amber. As if it sensed a familiar breath, the clear insect crystal began to emit bursts of faint light.

"God Wolf Spider, my dear friend, it's been a long time since we last met."

As if he could understand the silent words of the insect crystal, Jeremy looked at the amber in his hand, and a smile finally appeared on his silent face.

"It seems that during the time you were apart from me, you also made some new friends."

In fact, the moment he got the Holy Sword of the King, Jeremy had already vaguely realized that the insect crystal of the God Wolf Spider might be in Pinoconi.

After all, in order to complete the arming of the King's Armor, the King's Holy Sword, the Unlocking Key, and the Guardian's Insect Crystal are all indispensable. And the moment Jeramy got the King's Holy Sword, he was very sure that he could complete the arming.

Based on this alone, Jeramy could conclude that the God Wolf Spider's insect crystal was very close to him.

However, the "One-Horned Lord of Brilliance" obviously does not refer to it.

Although the God Wolf Spider has eight legs, it should not have a single horn.

"You mean, the God Rhinoceros Beetle is here too, but Mikhail failed to bring it out... It's okay, I will rescue it, I promise."

Feeling the long-lost insect crystal throbbing in his palm, Jeremy's voice trembled slightly, but an inexplicable sense of security involuntarily emerged in his heart.

As long as God Wolf Spider was there, he was not afraid even when facing a swarm of insects.

As for why the insect crystals of God Wolf Spider and God Rhinoceros Beetle appeared in Pinoconi, Jeremy guessed that perhaps in the battle between the Amber King and the Insect King that even the Star God died, the insect crystals swallowed by him and their collapsed insect bodies were scattered all over the universe.

It seems that I have to pay more attention to the whereabouts of the insect crystals when I go on missions next time.

"However, I still need to help you build a new body. After all, the previous body..."

Recalling the last bloody battle in the Worm Abyss, Jeramy's expression became heavy again.

He died in that battle, and was only able to come back to life after countless Amber Ages with the power of the King's Certificate. The body of the God Wolf Spider was directly scrapped, and even the insect crystal fell into the hands of the Breeding.

Spreading out the design drawings left by Mikhail, the body of the God Wolf Spider appeared in the eyes of Jeremy and Xing. Judging from the appearance and external equipment alone, it was almost exactly the same as the one Jeremy had driven at the beginning.

The only pity was that the place where the cockpit should have been was blank, a problem that Mikhail had not been able to solve in his entire life.

But even so, it has been a great help.

Jeremy knew how to design the Guardian's energy connection system and control center. He even knew all the Guardian's body data, but it was undoubtedly a heavy task to reproduce the content in his mind.

The most complicated thing is the outer garment that does not seem to be the core, but is extremely sophisticated, enough to allow the guardian angel to switch between insect form and human form at will.

And now, with Mikhail's help, he only needs to complete the energy connection and control center.

"I never imagined that before I even left the Worm Abyss, shrouded in nothingness, someone would have already done so much for me... Don't worry, Mikhail, I won't let you down. I won't let Pinocchio suffer the same fate as the Worm Abyss."

Looking at the old man who was sleeping peacefully in front of him, Jeremy lowered his eyes silently and offered prayers and respect for him.

Xing standing next to her has also put on the exquisite black hat, indicating that she has taken over the pioneering will of her predecessor.

"Come on, Jeremy, it's time for us to leave."

Xing looked up at the sky and seemed to be able to vaguely see the shadows of insects flapping their wings flickering on the horizon. This showed that the crystal wall that had been guarding Liumeng Reef had become increasingly fragile, and there was a risk of being overwhelmed by the insects at any time.

Jeremy, who had temporarily sealed the gap with a glass foundation stone, felt this the most. He could clearly feel that the impact of the swarm of insects was becoming more and more violent, and the cracks he had created before were also widening under the impact of the swarm of insects.

However, the glass foundation was filled and patched as the crack expanded, which prevented the swarm of insects from pouring in through the gap.

But obviously, this is not a long-term solution.

Soon, Liumeng Reef may become a battlefield with the Zerg, but there are still many people here who are unable to fight.

Perhaps I should ask Miss Mockingbird if she has any means of communicating with Pinocchio's other dreams.

At least those innocent people must be sent out in time. Jeremy absolutely does not want to see such a thing happen again in front of him, as unarmed people are dragged into the battlefield.

Jeremy turned around and was about to leave Mikhail's resting place to look for the robin, but he seemed to suddenly sense something and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Jerami, what's wrong?"

Xing looked at Jeremy, who suddenly became serious and even a little angry, and was a little confused.

"My venom spray gun just fired."

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

Going back to an earlier time, when Jeramie and Xing were still wandering in the afterimage, the robin had already successfully met the old man and children that Gallagher mentioned.

"I really don't know how to thank you, Miss Mockingbird. The children have always longed for your singing, but due to their young age and family misfortunes, they are unable to enter the beautiful dream created by their family. And I... an old man with crippled legs, if it weren't for this Dream Reef, I wouldn't even be able to reach them."

After listening to the robin's song with the children, the elderly woman hunched over and thanked the universal singer for his kindness and generosity.

"I just did something insignificant. I'm glad you can realize your dreams in this dream, but..."

The robin shook his head slightly, indicating that what he had done was not worth mentioning.

"I know, and the children all understand that no matter how long they wander in dreams, they must return to reality. However, the Liumeng Reef now..."

"Don't worry, I'll find a way. Please take the children to Mr. Gallagher first. If you feel uneasy, you can teach others the song I just sang."

Calmly and gracefully, the robin let the old man and the children leave the somewhat dark alley. With its back to the darkness deep in the alley, it watched the unarmed old man and the children leave, and the smile on the corner of its mouth gradually faded.
