After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 340 In your dream, you will be the "Great Sage", not the "Malo" in reality

The expanding ball of flames obscured the sky from the perspective of the pink-haired girl April in the beret and the girl Zero in the leather jacket below.

The terrible heat had made them sweat profusely even before it even reached them.

"Chong-"

But at this moment, a clear and sharp sword sound burst out in the world of fire.

It is difficult to describe the scene at this moment.

In the perception of the two girls, it seemed as if a bright silver moon was rising up. In an instant, all the flames and fireballs disappeared into thin air.

Only the silver lines appearing on the three mechas indirectly proved what had happened.

The silver light on the mecha suddenly became brighter.

But there was no earth-shattering explosion. Silently, the mecha shattered into pieces, as if it had been chopped thousands of times in an instant.

The mecha "Piao Ling" and the pilot wearing a black tight suit inside were exposed to the eyes of several people.

It can be seen that the eyes of the three drivers are full of confusion.

Until this moment, they still hadn't realized what was happening.

The falling bodies and the strong wind whistling past their ears woke them up from their shock.

But before they could scream in surprise, there was a flash of silver light, and the bodies of the three pilots disappeared in mid-air and were forcibly taken in front of Ryan.

The silver-white owl flew to the two girls and protected them with its wings, just like protecting a chick. It glanced at the marks on the chests of the three pilots and said, "They are members of the [Alliance] Guard of the Mechanical Festival Star. I have seen their logo on the Starnet."

"But why did the guards who were supposed to protect the safety of our guests attack us instead?"

"Mechanical Festival Star, has anything happened?"

There was confusion and thought in the voice of the silvery owl.

Ryan's expression was flat.

Although the planet may have undergone some changes in its current situation, he has experienced such a difficult world as the Ancient God World, so the current situation can only be said to be a trivial matter.

He looked at the three pilots and said indifferently: "Why did you attack us?"

"You only have ten seconds to convince me to let you go."

"10..."

The countdown sounded, causing the three drivers' expressions to change.

Seeing that the countdown had reached 5, the middle-aged man who seemed to be the captain among the three sighed: "Sir, we have said everything, please don't count down."

"We launched an attack on you only because we accepted the orders from the [Alliance] to block any attempts to break through the Outer Sea during the event."

"The Outer Sea?" The Silver Owl asked in surprise, "Aren't we on the Mechanical Festival Planet now?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "The Planet of the Mechanical Festival is a planet created by machines that allows anyone to realize their dreams. Naturally, it also has means to resist outsiders."

"The Outer Sea is one of them."

"Any life that forcibly enters this world without being invited will be intercepted in the 'Outer Sea'."

"No!" Silver Owl said solemnly, taking out an invitation letter: "This is the invitation letter to the grand event from the [Alliance] that the Infinite Train Group received."

"How could it be?" After receiving the invitation letter, the middle-aged man repeatedly confirmed it several times. The anti-counterfeiting mark on it was undoubtedly correct, which made him hesitate:
"Could it be that there is a malfunction in the defense system?"

"Maybe this is a misunderstanding?"

His behavior made the Silver Owl fall into deep thought.

Ryan glanced at him and didn't ask too much. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Without an invitation, you can't enter the Mechanical Festival Star?"

"Of course not..." He blurted out habitually, but for the sake of his own life, the middle-aged man said: "Well... Actually, it's not impossible."

“You can sneak across.”

He spoke the last four words very quietly, but everyone present heard them clearly.

Hearing this, Ryan smiled.

He understood the subtext of the other party's words.

As a member of the escort team, it was the middle-aged man's duty to stop Ryan and others, but he failed and was ambushed and injured by the "thieves". He was unable to stop them, allowing Ryan and others to smuggle in. Although he would be scolded by his superiors for his poor performance, it could not be considered dereliction of duty.

Ryan raised his hand and tapped the three drivers lightly on the back of their necks. Immediately, all three of them fell unconscious.

At the same time, the sword energy swept through the three people, leaving some "heavy but not fatal" wounds.

After doing all this, Ryan looked at the three people in the Infinite Train Group and said with a smile: "Mr. Eagle, and Miss April and Miss Zero, I'm going to be a 'stowaway', what are your plans?"

"Let's go together." The silver-white owl sighed.

It seemed to have figured something out, and put away the invitation letter. "Anyway, let's go to the Mechanical Festival Planet first. Even if we are caught, we don't have to worry about our lives because the Infinite Train Clan will guarantee us."

"Then let's go together." Ryan looked at the irregular gap in the sky that was shrinking.

The next second, several people rushed in using their own methods.

……

This time, there was no bumpy ride. After the light in front of his eyes went dark and bright, Ryan found that he had come to a small hut with dim light.

I looked around, but I didn't see the two people and the owl from the Infinity Train crew.

Apparently, in the process of entering the Mechanical Festival Star, several people seemed to be teleported randomly.

Ryan felt a little bit disappointed that he couldn't get more useful information from the silver owl, but he didn't think much about it.

He stood up and pushed the door open.

Looking at the scene before his eyes, he looked thoughtful.

——In the dilapidated urban area, thick smoke can be seen billowing out of huge chimneys in the distance, and the thick pipes exposed outside the rooms are mostly rusted.

Is this what a world-renowned "Mechanical Festival Star" should look like?

While I was lost in thought, the iron gate of a house not far away was pushed open from the inside.

That's a boy.

He was about ten years old, wearing old gray clothes, his face was covered with dust, and his eyes were a little dull.

This kind of expression is commonly seen in people who do repetitive, high-intensity work and should not appear in a child.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and followed quietly.

The little boy wandered around in the dilapidated urban area, and soon he entered a huge factory.

There are many people like him who have come here to work at a very young age, many of whom are only five or six years old.

On the contrary, there are almost no adults.

What kind of factory is this?
Ryan felt strange.

So he also entered the factory.

This fully enclosed, super-large factory has an extremely strict monitoring mechanism.

However, this is meaningless to Ryan.

Whether it is the technological side or the extraordinary side, it has no effect on the ninth level who can use the power of the "big world" to shield his own existence.

Follow the little boy all the way into the factory.

Passing through the metal passage at the bottom of the field, Ryan saw an oversized hemispherical workshop. Here, there were countless metal tubes filled with light green buffer.

The children who entered the factory lay in the cabin under the metal tank. As the cabin closed, the children were soon sent into the metal tubes, with several strange pipes running through the back of their heads.

What is this doing?
Ryan became even more confused.

He did not act blindly.

Judging from the current situation, these children have been doing similar things for a long time.

There shouldn't be any major problems in the short term.

Rather than taking direct action to save them, Ryan was more concerned about the purpose of the mastermind behind all this.

At first, Ryan saw the boy's dull eyes and thought it was just a normal situation, but now it seems that there is a high probability that extraordinary forces are involved.

The perception circle expanded, and soon, Ryan locked onto the individual with the strongest aura in this closed factory.

In the observation room.

Supervisor Samuel didn't look very happy.

He looked at the comparative data displayed on the big screen in front of him: "The output of the number of beautiful dreams has decreased by 3 percentage points year-on-year?"

"I have clearly replaced the 'Chanmeng Battery' on time, why did this happen?!"

Faced with his angry roar, the staff below remained silent.

"A bunch of trash!"

Supervisor Samuel cursed and was about to say something.

But that's it.

"boom!"

The one-meter-thick metal wall made of super alloy exploded with a loud bang.

The powerful explosion knocked all the staff in the room unconscious in an instant.

Only Samuel, the strongest supervisor who had reached the seventh level, managed not to faint in the explosion.

But when he came to his senses, he felt a strong sense of suffocation.

His neck was grabbed and lifted up.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in controlling these children?"

Supervisor Samuel wanted to speak, but the strong feeling of suffocation made his face turn purple.

Finally, he heard these words.

"Forget it, I'll ask myself."

Dark purple lines were drawn and shaped in the eyes of the supervisor Samuel.

Due to the huge gap in strength and status, Supervisor Samuel couldn't even put up the slightest resistance and became a puppet of the [Thread of Sloth].

Ryan casually threw away the "human garbage" in his hand and asked in a calm tone: "What is your purpose in controlling these children?"

"To answer your question, sir." Supervisor Samuel bowed respectfully and said, "It is to create beautiful dream bubbles."

"After a series of calculations [by the alliance], we found that the dreams of adults are too logical and received a mediocre response in the market. But the dreams of children are different. They have almost no rules, are absurd and interesting, and have received a warm response in the market."

"The beautiful dream bubbles processed by this dream factory will be sent directly to the event city for guests to purchase and use."

"What will happen to these children?" Ryan asked again.

"After their beautiful dreams are drained away, they will become confused, dull and stupid, and soon they will die."

Although he had expected it, Ryan still frowned when he heard the "truth" from Supervisor Samuel.

"Sweet dreams, dream factory?" Ryan chewed on these two words.

"The Mechanical Festival Star is, in essence, a super dream world connected by countless beautiful dreams." Supervisor Samuel said with instinctive pride.

“Everyone here can realize their dreams, and the cost is just a tiny amount of money.”

"This grand event is held only once every five hundred years. Its scale and number of invited guests are unprecedented."

Ryan's eyes darkened slightly.

The situation on the Mechanical Festival Star was quite different from what he had imagined.

"How do people who come to the Mechanical Festival Star enter a sweet dream? Take me to see." Ryan said.

Supervisor Samuel said respectfully, "It is through a living machine called a 'dream machine'. There happen to be several of them in the factory. I can take you to have a look."

Led by their supervisor Samuel, the two came to a room full of technology.

In the center, there are three silver-white cabins.

When they came to the side of the cabin, the supervisor Samuel introduced: "Look at the front of the dream machine. The user can directly insert whatever dream he wants."

"Of course, this is a relatively primitive version. The Gala Star is a super-large public dream world. After the guests purchase customized dreams, they can switch directly in the dream, which is very convenient."

In one corner of the room, there were several metal racks with a large number of boxes on them.

These boxes are filled with fist-sized milky white bubbles.

"These are the dream bubbles."

"They vary in content because dreams are so special that even with targeted guidance, the details are always different, which means that the dreams experienced by each guest are unique."

Ryan picked up a dream bubble at random.

Just listening to the description, it seems very beautiful, but the customers who buy these dream bubbles know the production process of these dream bubbles...

Ryan inserted the dream bubble into the dream machine and asked the supervisor Samuel to enter the dream.

Through the "Thread of Sloth", Ryan simultaneously received everything that the supervisor Samuel experienced in his dream.

This is a dream bubble about adventure and heroes.

In the dream, the user will turn into a weak monkey, fight hard all the way, and finally take back his own power, become the "Great Sage", and defeat the evil boss behind the scenes.

A very classic and beautiful dream.

just.

The child who had this beautiful dream...became a "Monkey King" in the dream, but in reality, he was just an exploited "Horse".

Waking Director Samuel from his sweet dream, Ryan said in a cold tone, "Does the [Alliance] know about this?"

"Of course I know." Supervisor Samuel nodded. "In fact, it was the General Manager of the [Alliance] who ordered me to do this."

"Lord Souji is the supreme ruler of the Mechanical Festival Star."

"There are many, many more dream factories like mine."

"The General Manager of the [Alliance]?" A smile appeared on Ryan's face.

With a cold meaning.

With a clear goal, the next actions will be much easier.

"Where is the headquarters of the [Alliance]?"

Supervisor Samuel said respectfully, "The General has become one with the dream. He no longer has a physical body in the material world. In other words, He can descend upon any living machine. If you want to find Him, you can only enter the dream."
