Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"This was specially prepared by the family; I'm sure you'll like it."

"Come on, line up one by one, don't rush!"

"Make sure you hold onto it carefully until the grand opening of the Harmonious Music Festival, and then—at the climax of the performance, press this button together with the people around you."

"Maybe... something really interesting will happen!"

……

the other side.

In a dark and narrow alley.

Walter nodded slightly to Yan Huan, who had just arrived.

"I'm glad we're all safe and sound."

"Alliance Leader?" Yan Huan smiled slightly.

"I told you it would be alright, look, we're all doing just fine!"

Firefly agreed:

"Isn't that incredible?"

"In fact, the monsters we have always regarded as [death] are also the guardians of the land of exile."

"It follows a certain pattern, abducting people from their dreams and taking them here."

Walter exclaimed:

"I haven't felt this kind of sit-up feeling in ages."

"Our previous confusion about whether real death exists in dreams now seems to be a mental trap set by the mastermind behind the scenes."

"To cover up the truth about the disappearances of people, and... this fortress called [Dream Reef]."

“Every appearance of that meme is related to the watchmaker.”

"Since Liumeng Reef is the destination where it abducted everyone, many of the problems that have troubled us for a long time can probably be solved here."

Yan Huan's gaze swept past Walter and looked behind him. The alley was very simple, with a feel of the lower districts of Belleburg.

"This place... is very different from the golden age."

Chapter 712 is a bit rudimentary.

Firefly agreed.

"The atmosphere here is completely different from that of a dream. People live a very relaxed life, and there are no family-like managers."

"His mental state... was also somewhat subtly dazed."

Just as she said that, two drunkards staggered over from the opposite side.

He does appear to be mentally unstable.

A drunkard stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in confusion:

"Oh my god, it's Yang Chaoyue! Did I just see Yang Chaoyue?!"

"It's that... the Law of Reason..."

Before he could finish speaking, another drunkard interrupted him:

"You little rascal... hiccup~ you've been playing too much video games, haven't you?"

"I do think that one with long black hair looks familiar."

"He called out, he called out..."

"Bai Ye Lin Yin...?"

……

Seeing the two men brutally beating up a drunkard in the street, Liuying quickly advised them:

"...Wait a minute, hitting people is wrong!"

Yan Huan turned her head:

"Isn't this just a dream? They won't kill us, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Firefly: "...Uh."

Liu Ying stood alone in the middle of the alley and waited for a while before Yan Huan and Walter finished.

Walter regained his composure and asked:

Where were we?

"There are no family-style managers here, right?"

Liu Ying nodded slightly:

"Correct."

“But I had previously gleaned a familiar name from snippets of conversation among the residents.”

"...Gallach."

Upon hearing the name, Walter immediately pictured the sheriff in his mind.

"It's that man again, always appearing at just the right moment in every crucial place."

"It saved us the trouble of looking for someone."

He looked at Yan Huan and said in a deep voice:

"Himeko and Mitsuki have already set off ahead of us."

"Yan Huan, get yourself together. We'll rest for a bit and then set off."

"Okay, I'll take my time."

Yan Huan did not intend to set off immediately, but instead headed in the direction behind her.

He had been concerned about this for a while; the alley seemed to start at an abandoned bus stop.

The place is incredibly desolate, and the cold wind blowing here gives it a horror movie feel.

Fireflies quickly followed.

"What...what are you doing going this way? We should be heading towards Mr. Walter's direction."

"Not urgent."

Yan Huan put her hands in her pockets, silently surveying the somewhat gloomy waiting area, and pondered:

"This place... looks a lot like the place where the main character gets off the train in the Watch Boy cartoon."

"Look at this tunnel, isn't it just the right width for the Star Train to travel through?"

"Uh……?"

Hearing Yan Huan say this, Liu Ying also began to examine the abandoned tunnel.

"Is it possible... all train tracks are about the same width?"

Liu Ying stroked her chin and pondered:

"This place looks like it's been abandoned for a long time."

Do you think... there's a connection between the watchmaker and the Star Train?

“Obviously.” Yan Huan put her hands in her pockets and slowly walked back towards Walter.

As he walked, he said to the fireflies beside him:

"Actually, I noticed it as soon as I arrived here."

"What did you find?" Firefly tilted her head.

"Why don't you look up?" Yan Huan suggested.

"?"

Fireflies looked up at Yan Huan's words... The sky above Liumeng Reef was not simple.

The golden city is upside down in the night sky, brightly lit.

"It's...the golden hour in the sky. I noticed it when I came here before." Liu Ying was a little confused, not knowing what Yan Huan was referring to.

Besides the golden moment that was upside down in the sky, there was also a grand theater that was upside down on top of the two of them.

"This Dream Reef seems to be hidden on the other side of Pinocchio's normal dream."

Yan Huan pondered as she walked:

"Looking at the golden moment from this perspective, doesn't it resemble something?"

The fireflies still tilted their heads back, carefully gazing at the panoramic view of the golden hour.

From this perspective... a shadow overlaps with the magnificent city.

"Xingqiong...the engine of the train?"

The firefly blinked:

"It does look somewhat similar."

When the two walked up to Walter, the latter asked:

"You seem to have discovered something?"

Yan Huan told Walter about her discovery, and the latter also looked up to examine the golden city in the sky.

"..."

"It's not that they're very similar, but they're about 80% alike."

Walter said with a solemn expression:

"If Pinocchio really has some connection with the Star Train, then our task becomes even more important."
