They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 342 The only officially designated "Pu Village" - Gallagher
Neither Star Peace Company nor Pinocchio issued a second statement after Robin ended her live stream.

The situation on the company's side is clear: Sand Gold successfully turned the tide, dealt with the Heroic Spirit Chadwick before the Market Development Department fleet arrived, and Emerald intervened and reached a preliminary consensus with Robin.

Seeing how effective the Strategic Investment Department was, and with further maneuvering by Diamond, the board of directors naturally shifted its favor towards the Strategic Investment Department.

As for the shot that bombarded the Market Development Department's fleet, the Emerald Report only reported one sentence: Chadwick insisted on bombing some of the company's property.

Therefore, Jade can only provide a few targets that cannot be bombarded, and let him choose the rest himself.

Of course, whether this reason is true or not is no longer important. Chadwick's consciousness has dissipated, and the memory bubble is in Dan Lei's hands. Unless Robin and Emerald explode, the company obviously cannot verify what the conversation was like at that time.

Moreover, even if it is later found that Emerald instigated Chadwick to attack the Market Development Department fleet, she would at most be demoted by one or two ranks, and that would be symbolic; she would be promoted back quickly.

After all, in the history of the Interstellar Peace Company, there have been many instances of high-level officials sabotaging each other. The fact that the other party lost a large fleet is at most a minor incident in the "Collection of Incidents of Harming Colleagues" recorded by Yi Ting.

It can only be said that Robin and Emerald are now holding each other's leverage, with Emerald holding the decision-making power to send the company's fleet to attack Pinocchio again.

The robin, however, knew the truth about the Market Development Department fleet being attacked by the Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse.

This is a phenomenon deliberately created by the jadeite, because only by having each other's weaknesses can the negotiations proceed smoothly, and only then will the robin believe that the jadeite is sincere in its negotiations.

On the Pinocchio family's side, the robin's introduction, using the identity of the fifth-degree tuner of the Harmony family, is a clear indication to the five Pinocchio families that he is ready to take the lead in the Chadwick affair, and he is doing so very seriously.

The five major families of Pinocchio are at least outwardly aligned in their beliefs.

They certainly couldn't directly deny the family's regressive timbre system.

Anyway, Robin is Sunday's sister. If Robin really does punish her brother as she says, then there's nothing more to say. Everyone should come out and apologize, and be punished accordingly.

If the robin favors Sunday, then how can she have the audacity to punish the other heads of households?

Let's just give this announcement a break and save face for this high-ranking leader. Afterwards, everyone should just quietly handle the situation.

After the live stream ended, Robin breathed a sigh of relief, while Danlei walked to the fortress's live stream system and said to one of the "kids" assisting with the live stream...

"Kid, tell me, when did the Star Core Hunters partner with Chadwick?"

The "little kid" Chadwick was referring to was Silver Wolf, who had, in principle, lived through two Amber Ages. Calling Dan Lei a child was a common way of addressing him, so calling Silver Wolf "little kid" wasn't an exaggeration.

However, Silver Wolf could accept being called that by Chadwick, but not by Dan Lei, and she immediately retorted.

"Trying to take advantage of me, huh? Why did you call me 'little kid'? According to the age calculation method of the Vidyadharas, you are only a few years older than me. In ten years, I will be older than you."

In response to Silver Wolf's protest, Dan Lei simply responded with a calm sneer.
"Come on, you'll be older than me in ten years. Let's talk when you're as big as Kafka."

Dan Lei regretted saying that as soon as he finished speaking, because Bronya's adult form in Honkai Impact 3rd seemed to have a very voluptuous figure, and Silver Wolf might be a super potential star.

Fortunately, her future potential couldn't affect her current defenses; at this moment, the silver wolf was only the size of a child, so she replied angrily.
"I knew you had ulterior motives towards Kafka. I have to remind her to stay away from you. After all, you're quite indiscriminate in your tastes, and you even have... never mind, why am I saying this? It seems like someone with a less attractive figure would be safer in front of you."

Dan Lei didn't bother to refute Silver Wolf's words, and instead steered the conversation back on track, saying...
"Don't change the subject. I'm asking when you started working with Chadwick, and that's in Elio's script too?"

When Dan Lei pressed for an answer again, Silver Wolf still didn't give a direct response, but instead said...
"Guess if this part is in Elio's script."

Perhaps I just can't stand you all ganging up on the elderly.

Anyway, Sam didn't know about the collaboration at first; she was notified later.

This includes the kidnapping of Miss Robin.

However, you should thank me. If Miss Robin hadn't been kidnapped, you guys probably wouldn't have been so eager to find this place.

Pinocchio's drama is just the first act; we'll have more to discuss later. Goodbye.

After saying that, Silver Wolf hung up the communication.

Silver Wolf's words just now actually hinted that Chadwick's story was indeed in the script.

Because of the unexpected assassination by the robin, Dan Lei's advantage in the plot was broken, which indeed became an opportunity for Dan Lei to actively participate in the Pinocchio incident.

So, Danlei turned to Artoria and asked...
"Artoria, Sam and her Heroic Spirit were fighting you, weren't they? Did she run away?"

Upon hearing Sam's name, Artoria's eyes lit up with a fighting spirit, and she said...

"Yes, we were preparing for a second battle immediately after we woke up from the illusion."

As a result, a bunch of mechanical golems attacked my soldiers from the side and rear.

To minimize unnecessary losses, I dealt with the mechanical golems first, which gave Sam a chance to escape.

"But Danlei, don't worry, next time, I will definitely slay that heroic spirit called the Grammer Iron Cavalry and put an end to this battle."

Dan Lei wasn't too surprised to hear that Sam had run away.

According to Silver Wolf, the collaboration between Firefly and Chadwick was most likely forced upon them.

Silver Wolf must have told her when she could leave, so her escape here might just be part of the script.

Fortunately, Danlei isn't worried about not being able to find Liuying later. The train crew has already arrived at the Primordial Memory Realm, and Himeko and Welt will definitely witness Danlei handing over the Memory Bubble to the Black Tower.

Then Xing and March 7th can freely explore Liumeng Reef.

When the time comes, Firefly will definitely appear and confess everything to Star.

So Danlei addressed the others present.

"Alright, I should keep my promise regarding Dr. Chadwick's matter. Let's go to the real-world Daydream Hotel. Black Tower should have already arrived with Screw Goom after seeing the live stream. She's quite impatient."

However, just as Danlei finished speaking, the robin suddenly said somewhat anxiously...
"Danlei, there's a problem. Communication here has been restored, but I can't get in touch with my brother. Could something have happened to him?"

Dan Lei: "??!!!!"

Here, let's rewind a bit and go back to the time when the negotiations between Robin, the company, and Dr. Chadwick finally reached a conclusion.

At the Morning Dew Mansion, a sheriff from a hound family was being received on Sunday.

Gallagher, who had been largely inactive in the Pinocchio incident except for a brief meeting with Star, was summoned on Sunday.

Entering Sunday's office, Galah saw the serious-looking Sunday and the Heroic Spirit lounging comfortably on the sofa beside him. Knowing he was likely exposed, Galah immediately scoffed.
"A maze of corridors and halls, traps and mechanisms everywhere, and the fact that the owner of this mansion keeps the heroic spirits by his side during the conversation—the owner of this mansion is a bit too paranoid."

Seeing that Gallagher had stopped pretending on Sunday, he said in an icy tone...
"You have a good sense of humor, Sheriff."

Hopefully, this sense of humor has helped you find the killer of the robin.

Seeing this, Gallagher naturally continued his mockery.

"Just expressing my personal opinion. What, did I hit a nerve?" Sunday was already losing patience, so he cut to the chase.

"Mr. Gallagher, my patience is running out."

Your passive resistance will only make me more suspicious that you are connected to the real culprit.

Gallagher laughed upon hearing this, knowing his days were numbered after being exposed. He slowly walked to Sunday's side, venting his pent-up resentment.
"I have too many unpleasant identities: scoundrel, hooligan, drunkard, rogue, but I never thought that one day I would be regarded as an accomplice of a murderer."

I retract my earlier statement: your problem isn't that you're overly suspicious.

You're a madman, you know? A madman.

You broke my spine, pulled out my fangs, and now you're accusing me of murder?
That's ridiculous. Only an idiot who's drunk on Solomon's would go crazy over stray dogs on the street.

What on earth is making you keep spouting nonsense?
You should be more concerned about the foreign guests who are waging a fierce battle in Pinocchio under the guise of the Holy Grail War than about me.

Seeing that Gallagher was a little defensive, Sunday became unhurried and even had the mood to explain to Gallagher...

"Because my target has always been you, Hound."

The bigger the commotion they cause, the greater my chance of making you and your true master, the watchmaker, pay for your crimes in blood.

Just like in the game, the weekday player believes Gallagher is the murderer of the robin.

Unfortunately, Sunday's guess was wrong. Mianmian really didn't come into contact with the robin this time, so Gallach was wrongly accused.

However, Gallagher had confirmed that the train crew had entered the Primordial Memory Domain before arriving at the Morning Dew Mansion, so he was not worried that the Starry Sky Train would be unable to learn the truth about the Clockmaker.

After all, Mikey from Liumeng Reef is also keeping an eye on the train crew, and he will take the initiative to find them after they enter Liumeng Reef.

So, in retaliation for Sunday's years of persecution of the remaining watchmakers, Gallagher decided to provoke him further. He walked up to him, pressed his face close, and mocked him.

"If I were really the murderer, why would you bother telling me so much? You and your spirits could just swarm me and pin this old dog to the ground, wouldn't that be enough?"

Ha, I forgot, you also have a difficult master, Pinocchio, as your dream master.

He told you to ignore that damn murder case and focus on the grand music festival, right—gentle brother?

Despite the blatant taunts, Sunday remained calm. He would slowly analyze the suspect in front of him, who was suspected of killing the robin, to determine whether the robin had been attacked by him.

So, I went straight back on Sunday.
"It seems your disguise has helped you fully understand every detail of the family."

Brown hair, soft and curly like Benny's (the dream maker).

The orange eyes remind me of Sir Whittaker's (head of the Night Thrush) gaze.

The strange scar is Woolsey's (the Houndmaster's) medal.

……

Everything about you comes from fifty-two loyal family members.

When they come together, countless tiny truths weave together to form a lie.

You extract a wisp of knowledge from each person, claim it as your own, and fabricate a complete Galah in your dream.

Am I right? The mysterious henchman, the watchmaker's loyal hound, the Assassin's master.

Gallagher fell completely silent on Sunday. He had thought that his identity had been exposed, but he hadn't expected that his disguise had been so thoroughly analyzed by the man in front of him.

So he slowly walked to the sofa where Metatron was and sat down directly next to the Heroic Spirit.

Metatron was naturally not afraid of a weak master sitting next to him; instead, he watched curiously as Metatron prepared to put on his act.

Gallagher, not to be outdone, took out a lighter, channeled his mysterious power, and while playing with the flames, infused his voice with a mystical destiny, laughing loudly.

"Hahahaha! You've got guts, impressive! I underestimated you."

I admire you, but so what? Does that prove I killed your sister?
Oh, I forgot, I'm the Master of Assassins, so I naturally have the motive to kill your sister.

When Gallagher said that, Sunday immediately assumed he had confessed.

Just as Galahad said, as the Master of the Holy Grail War, he naturally had the motive to kill the robin.

Moreover, given his resentment towards his family, he probably wanted revenge a long time ago.

So on Sunday, he unusually showed a gritted-teeth expression and confirmed with Gallagher...
"So, you confessed?"

Gallagher, of course, wouldn't confess. However, just as he was trying to draw Sunday's attention a little more so that Mianmian could stab him and help him escape, an Oak Family employee burst in, panting, and said...

"Master, the robin... Miss Robin is addressing the entire universe on behalf of Pinocchio."

She...she seems to have resolved Dr. Chadwick's matter and negotiated with the company.

Sunday “（⊙ｏ⊙）”

Metatron “(￣﹃￣)”

Gallagher "^_^"

Seeing the three people in the room with their different expressions, and Sunday looking incredulous, the staff member immediately took out a tablet that was playing a live stream of Robin and handed it to Sunday.

At this moment, Gallagher stopped playing with fire, and Metatron stopped lounging on the sofa and quickly went to Sunday's side to watch the live broadcast.

By this time, the robin had finished his moment of silence and was now giving his opinion on how to handle the Chadwick incident.

Seeing the robin point out Sunday's mistake and clearly state the punishment, Gallagher couldn't help but ask directly...
"So, how do you usually punish children who make mistakes at home? Do you make them stand with a bucket of water in the corner? Or do you use a whip?"

Because the robin voluntarily appeared on the live stream, Gallagher's suspicion of being a murderer was disproven.

However, seeing that the robin was alive and well and unusually happy on Sunday, I decided not to take Gallagher's sarcasm to heart.

However, Sunday did not expect that Gallagher was not prepared to let him, the head of the Oak family, go.

Just when everyone's attention was on the live stream, he suddenly said

“On Sunday, even though I didn’t kill the robin, you need to confront the truth about Pinocchio.”

As soon as he finished speaking, two perfectly synchronized "pfft" sounds came from Sunday and Gallagher.

Mianmian appeared behind the two of them without them noticing and stabbed them both through the hole.
