Noticing the arrival of several people, Liuying smiled, but just as she was about to speak, her shadow suddenly turned into something heading towards death. The sharp tail blade pierced out from her shadow and instantly pierced her body.

"When you are ready, death will not come to you. But if you are not ready, death will come as promised, leading you to the waking world and leading you to face the bleak reality that you are not yet ready to face."

For Pinocchio to overcome this difficulty, everyone must work together, so Youyi naturally cannot miss the power of the Star Core Hunter.

Besides, this Star Core Hunter is also a Grammer Iron Cavalry. With her power, it will be much easier to deal with the King of Evils and the locust army.

In the blink of an eye, the fireflies turned into colorful bubbles and dissipated. Nothing was left at the scene except a pool of light blue liquid.

"When you are prepared, death will not come to you..."

Xing chewed on the meaning of this sentence. Liuying's death did not shock her much at this moment. Rather, Liuying's death made her more certain that Youyi was not dead.

Could it be...

In dreams, death is the path that leads people to reality, or to the real Pinocchio?

Black Swan interrupted Xing's thoughts and shared his findings: "Everyone, I have some unpleasant news. Miss Jizi and Miss Sanyueqi have been stopped by their families. I think we may need to return to reality and continue our discussion in a safe place."

Since Ji Zi and San Yue Qi have been discovered, it is only a matter of time before this side is discovered. Moreover, there is the threat of "What is Towards Death". Now there is another victim. There is only one best choice - to avoid the sharp edge and be tolerant for the time being.

Xing nodded, but her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, hoping to get some information to support her guess.

Huang Quan nodded, then said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Sorry, can you give me a few more minutes? I still have something unfinished."

Then, under the gazes of several people, Huang Quan walked to the place where the firefly turned into bubbles, stopped, pursed his lips, bent down, seemed to be holding something with his hands, and stood up again.

"I see. Let's go and return to the waking world."

Using "What Towards Death" to lead people to the waking world through death, thereby preparing for the upcoming decisive battle, is indeed a good plan.

Isn't it a bit inefficient to just use the method of "what is heading towards death"?

If I were to do it myself without considering the consequences, I might be able to make all the people in Pinocchio experience death, forcing them to return to the waking world.

Um, wait, using the power of nothingness to forcibly kill everyone....

Recalling that Youyi had previously attempted to use this trick to drag the entire Pinocchio into the shadow of nothingness, Huang Quan fell silent.

This time it was embarrassing.

To ease his inner embarrassment, Huang Quan stood up and said, "Let's go."

Although wondering why Huang Quan looked a little nervous, Black Swan did not inquire too much, but took a few people to the VIP area in the elevator.

While on their way, the two noticed a feeling of dry heat in the air.

Black Swan frowned. "...What's going on? A sudden...heatiness appeared in my memory?"

Huang Quan nodded: "I noticed it too, it seems like something is burning."

Xing investigated and found the remains of the Dream Dancer Troupe scattered everywhere. "Here, there's charred debris everywhere? There are still some sparks left. The culprit is probably still nearby."

The remains of these monsters are different. Some have narrow and deep cuts, with obvious black marks of intense burning around them, and sparks dancing in them, like broken stars chasing after nothingness. Some are pierced by some sharp weapon, and the tissues under the outer shell are completely evaporated by the high temperature in a short time. If you get a little closer, the steam that finds gaps in the wreckage will burn you. Some are simply explosives, with a ball of intensely burning flames inside, waiting to break out of the shell. If you dare to touch them easily, it will threaten your life.

Huang Quan muttered as he examined the brand new traces, "Something's wrong. These traces were left not long ago. Someone just left here. Could they be related to what just happened?"

"Based on just these wreckages, even I find it difficult to make a judgment." Black Swan is a rememberer, not a detective. It is undoubtedly very difficult to solve the case based on just some wreckage.

"That's obvious. There must be a connection," Leichhardt vowed.

Xing and Huang Quan glanced at her, waiting for her next words, while Black Swan had already found a clue.

"But corpses can lie, but memories can't." Black Swan searched for traces of memory left nearby, organizing them into clues. "From the memories of these remains, the attacker was tall and much stronger than an adult male. His methods were quick and decisive, killing everyone with a single blow. He entered through the door on the side of the lobby and headed deeper into the hotel. In that case, he must have witnessed everything that happened before."

"Wait, this direction... I take it back. We need to rush to that memory zone where Miss Liuying's figure is imprinted. Given the style of this uninvited and rude intruder, if that's his destination, there won't be any clues left at the scene."

"Follow me closely. I will try my best to create a smooth shortcut for you."

Black Swan has already guessed the attacker's true identity, but given the current situation, there is no need for her to go back and meet the mysterious attacker. After all, ensuring Xing's safety, preventing her from dying, and returning her intact to the Starry Sky Train is the top priority.

However, she chose to take the initiative to take Xing, Leichihart and Huang Quan to meet the mysterious attacker.

This abnormal behavior aroused Leihart's suspicion. Perhaps other people would think Liuying was dead after seeing the scene just now, but she knew very well that Liuying was not dead at all. Moreover, no one knew better than her who had left the monster remains in the lobby and corridor.

So she whispered in Huang Quan's ear, "This Rememberer has bad intentions, be careful."

Huang Quan nodded, and followed the memories of Liuying restored by the black swan. Finally, they returned to the place where Liuying had died.

Then, Xing saw a vague but familiar figure, or rather, a mecha figure, in the center of the lobby.

"That figure!"

Xing subconsciously looked at the Manasuko transformation device in his hand, then looked at the silver Gundam mecha not far away, his eyes switching back and forth between the two.

The mecha of the guy in front of me is so similar to the wandering Primhart form.

Could it be...

Is the real mastermind behind Pinoconi the same as Beloberg and Xianzhou Luofu, and also the wandering half?

Is his real identity Reimhart?

Looking at the tall, silver mecha-clad man, Black Swan said quietly, "Looks like someone's been waiting for you for quite some time. Are you finally planning to take the stage? 'Star Hunter' Sam."

Her voice caught Sam's attention. He slowly turned around, scanned the group, and then issued a warning in a deep, cold male voice: "A Sea Ranger and a Rememberer? The detective game is over. You shouldn't be here? Leave now, and no one will get hurt... Otherwise, you will all die...."

I don't have much time left. I need to rescue Leichhardt and Xing from these two evil-minded guys as soon as possible and then bring them to Youyi. So at the beginning...

Just fight in burning form!

"I will set the sea on fire!!!"

"I don't care if you're a star core hunter or a wandering clone. Right now, I'm going to defeat you!"

Xing refused to be outdone and immediately decided to transform to meet the enemy, but just as she was about to attack, Black Swan grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"Dear, let's leave this stage to them. There are people waiting for you."

Chapter 168 Xing: Don’t look at me as a fool, I am actually very smart

Unexpectedly, when the Sea Patrolman Huang Quan and the Star Core Hunter Sam were confronting each other and Xing was about to join the battlefield, the Black Swan suddenly took action and took Xing away from the battlefield. This action was really beyond the expectations of several people present.

But Sam didn't intend to let Huang Quan go.

Sam raised his finger and pointed at Huang Quan, challenging him: "You should draw that knife, Ranger, and return my partner."

Huang Quan answered the question irrelevantly: "...Hunter, do you still dream? Dream about those who died because of you?"

Sam replied coldly: "I don't have the ability to dream."

"Is that so... I'm curious, why did you return here after being killed? Can I take this as meaning that you've seen the waking world, yet still chose to embark on this path, this... road of no return?"

Huang Quan gripped the hilt of the knife tightly. She had already seen that the true identity of that thing heading towards death was a vehicle responsible for transporting people to a waking dream. The star core hunter in front of her had been sent to a waking dream, but returned so quickly and attacked her and others.

Does this mean that the star core hunters in front of them still choose to be their enemies after seeing Youyi?

"I am not obligated to answer your questions. There is only one destiny, and no one can avoid it. Before that, I still have the power to choose, but you don't seem to know, so it's my turn to ask: Who are you?" After seeing Huang Quan's knife, Sam could not connect the other party with the patrolling sea ranger. The other party was obviously a more dangerous existence, a dangerous existence that could bring death and extinction.

If this guy in front of me, disguised as a Sea Ranger, insisted on standing in front of me and stopping me from taking Xing and Leichhardt away, then I would have to resort to violence.

Besides, I may not lose now.

After experiencing death once, the weak self has died, and now the one who appears is a firefly, burning and burning for a little light...burning continuously until it turns into ashes!

Just as the tension between the two was about to ignite and explode, Leichhardt hurriedly appeared and stood between them: "Wait, don't fight! Don't fight!! We are one family, one family!!!"

After stopping the two men who were about to attack, Leichhardt looked at Sam and said, "No, you were dead, weren't you? How did you win the resurrection match so quickly? Can you jump from the graveyard like me?"

He hadn't expected that someone would start spreading rumors about his death in such a short time. This immediately made Sam furious, and even the air around him became heated: "Who said I was dead? I'm still alive and well!!"

I just went to Liumeng Reef for a walk, and how come the news of my death spread so quickly?

The news spread faster and more outrageously than the old rural lady's intelligence network.

What does it mean to win the resurrection match? Are there other people also playing in the resurrection match?

Leichhardt: "Not dead, not dead. I was just worried about you."

Huang Quan: "Do you...know each other?"

Sam: "We are comrades."

Huang Quan: “I see.”

A three-headed dog who is always doing all kinds of things, and a cute girl in a big mecha who shouts "I will set the sea on fire" when she sees the enemy. I can only say that there is a reason why you can be teammates.

After realizing that the Star Core Hunter in front of him was not an enemy, Huang Quan proposed: "How about it, are you willing to cooperate temporarily?"

Sam shook his head. "It's not time yet. The Star Core Hunters have their own battles, and the Sea Rangers have their own battles. Until our battle is over, our paths won't cross."

Huang Quan asked curiously, "Is this what's written in the script of 'Slaves of Fate'?"

Sam denied it. "My scripts are always just a few lines long. Beyond that, nothing is necessary or needed. Leichhardt's scripts are very detailed."

"Oh?" Huang Quan's curiosity was piqued. "I want to know what kind of footnote I have left in the future that fate has foreseen."

Sam: "In the fight against the remnants of the Borer and Locust Troubles, your sword will provide the most crucial fighting force for victory."

Huang Quan: "It's a simple sentence, but judging from your tone, this important fighting force shouldn't refer to me who drew the Zhao Dao, but someone else. Who is that person?"

Sam: "A gambler."

.....

"Thank you for your hard work, Rememberer—very wonderful driving the tiger to devour the wolf."

"When I first saw the Rangers and Hunters gathered together, my heart was in a knot... I didn't expect you to be able to successfully provoke a fight between them."

Sha Jin applauded Black Swan's performance. Even he didn't expect that it would be so easy to bring together the two most troublesome people in Pinocchio and make them fight.

Not only that, he was able to complete the transaction excellently and bring the people he needed to his side. As expected, he was very lucky. He won the grand slam in this bet.

"Well, as agreed, I brought this child to you. The deal is done."

With these words, the Black Swan stepped aside, leaving the most dazzling position in the center of the stage to the company's chattering peacock.

Xing wasn't angry about Black Swan's betrayal, but instead seemed remarkably calm. "Sure enough, in this Pino Connie, there's a bunch of conspirators with ulterior motives, crammed into a small stage. No one wants to be exposed to the spotlight, so they can only use me one by one, right?"

The attack of the Star Core Hunter Sam, the betrayal of the Rememberer Black Swan, the conspiracy of the Stone Heart Ten and the gold dust...

All these indicate that under the calm surface of Pinocchio there are undercurrents. Is Youyi's voluntary disappearance related to these forces?

It’s not clear, but judging from Youyi’s voluntary death, perhaps the world of death is far better than the dream of extravagance and decadence. But if that’s the case, why did Liuying die?

——If you are prepared, death will not come to you.

The hint left by You Yi made Xing understand a little bit. If you are prepared, death will not come to you. So if you are not prepared, do you have to face death?

Wait! Facing death?

Xing seemed to understand a little. These people who hid in the shadows of the stage, not daring to show themselves, and only dared to push themselves to the front, were they not prepared to face death? If so, then could Youyi's words be translated as...

Hee! I got it!!

How can I manage Pinocchio well with this bunch of insects?

Drag them all into the water!

Gold Sand didn't notice the strange look in Xing's eyes as he began to fill in the blanks. "I know you're angry, my friend, but Miss Black Swan didn't betray you. Far from plotting against you, she actually saved you from that 'Sea Patrolman'."

"And then?" Xing crossed his arms, a look of disdain on his face. "I'm in your hands now, and Huang Quan isn't here yet, so you can still say whatever you want."

Shajin extended his index finger and shook it in front of Xing's eyes. "It seems you still don't understand enough, my dear friend. This woman named Huang Quan is far more complicated than you think. She's not some sea ranger at all. She's an emissary, a messenger who brings death and the end. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"what?"

Xing was stunned for a moment. She should be shocked that Huang Quan was an envoy, but for some reason, she actually had a feeling that "this topic has passed, you are crazy."

It was strange, why didn't I doubt that Huang Quan was a Order Envoy? Instead, I felt that this was natural and as if... I had seen Huang Quan display the power of a Order Envoy.

Did I forget some important memory?

From Xing's doubtful words, Shajin knew that he might have caught a big fish this time, and it was a very big fish: "My friend, you seem to have some doubts or something wrong."

Xing expressed his confusion: "I don't know if it's my imagination or what, but I vaguely remember that Huang Quan seemed to have had a fight with You Yi, but I don't know why, so I only have a vague impression of it."

"They had a fight? A battle between envoys? No way, my God - this is even more interesting." Shajin originally planned to reveal some shocking news to Xing, but he didn't expect that Xing would reveal some shocking news in return.

Being able to fight with You Yi, and it was a big battle, completely confirmed his guess.

This Huang Quan is indeed a messenger.

Gold Sand continued, "Trust your intuition and judgment, my friend the Nameless Guest. Don't you find it strange? You remember a battle between You Yi and Huang Quan, but you have no recollection of it. Then You Yi died. And then, at the scene where your stowaway friend died, this unknown messenger clearly had the ability to stop it, but he did nothing and allowed him to die. Is there such a coincidence?"

"this...."

For a moment, Lian Xing began to doubt Huang Quan. After thinking about it carefully, this mysterious woman named Huang Quan was very suspicious.
