Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"It's too dangerous here. Please go somewhere else to take shelter for the time being."

"I'm very good."

Dan Heng slowly walked up to the crowd and asked:

“Those theater troupe members held on for a long time, why did you only come to help so late?”

"We're so sorry, we really didn't expect there to be guests here."

The bespectacled man leading the group bowed apologetically.

"We made sure there were no humans around before we left, so we felt safe to leave."

"How about this, I can give you a coupon worth 10,000 credits as compensation, is that alright?"

"..."

Danheng remained silent.

Seeing this, the bespectacled man laughed again:

"Of course, this may have caused you some emotional distress. With my highest authority, a coupon of 30,000 is the most I can offer. What do you think?"

"If that's still not enough, I can treat you to a meal privately, and if you want more..."

"I am fine."

Danheng interrupted the family member and asked:

"But those theater troupes from earlier are now in great danger."

"I know, I know..." the bespectacled man said apologetically.

"They died right under your nose, which gave you a bad impression."

"If you like, we can give you one."

"We have lithium-ion dogs here, and also..."

"That's not the problem."

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"Those theater troupe members from earlier, they chose to stay to support you, right?"

"But you just left without a care, and only came here now."

"If I hadn't acted in time, they would probably be dead by now."

Upon hearing this, the bespectacled man was taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, it suddenly dawned on me:

"What? So it was you who saved them."

"Okay, I understand. How much compensation do you want?"

"What?" Dan Heng frowned.

"What, are you pretending to be stupid now?"

The bespectacled man straightened his collar and said seriously:

"So you think that because you saved those theater troupes, you want to ask us for more money?"

"To be honest, those are not our existing properties, but the exiled Dream Theatre Troupe."

"In other words, they are worthless."

"..."

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

“What I mean is, you shouldn’t have abandoned them for so long.”

The bespectacled man was quite surprised.

"I understand, you mean their lives matter too?"

"Yes."

"Hahahaha...I'm dying of laughter."

Immediately, the staff behind the bespectacled man also burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, there's an idiot here!"

"You really treat these tools like family members?"

"Pfft, sorry, I couldn't help it."

"Don't even mention the Dream Troupe, even if the Beautiful Dream Troupe were to die, so be it. Wasn't their purpose in being born to serve us humans?!"

"Some idiots treat them like family..."

"Hey, you wouldn't happen to be from that Dreamy Bar, would you?"

"Hey, I've heard that they've been raising those little monsters. Maybe those were from their family."

"The owner of that shop used to be the manager of the theater troupe. I really can't understand it..."

"..."

Dan Heng was silent for a moment, then spoke:

"As long as there is thought, that is a life."

"Besides, they helped you."

"Isn't it only right for dream-created beings to help humanity?" the bespectacled man scoffed.

"Do you expect us to repay it? To repay a bunch of monsters that could go mad at any moment?"

"Don't be silly, I think you're just as good as those self-righteous people who believe in releasing animals!"

The bespectacled man took out a gold note from his pocket and handed it to Danheng:

"Here, this is a Dream Voucher worth 30,000, now it's yours."

"Take the money and leave, don't interfere with our work!"

Dan Heng: "..."

Chapter 826 Waaaaa~ Waaaaa~ Waaaaa~

ten minutes later.

The lobby of Dream Hotel.

Staring at the corpses before him, Audi seemed lost in thought:

"You mean, they were already like this when you arrived?"

"Correct."

Dan Heng nodded, and then the corpses slowly dissipated, turning into specks of light that flew into the sky.

Audi stared in the direction they had drifted away:

"Now... they've all been sent back to reality. They probably won't be able to enter the dream again for a while."

For Pinocchio, the importance of the Dream Hotel is self-evident, as it had previously had to be repaired and maintained due to numerous mysteries.

Even after the renovation of the Memory Garden, the number of memes has not decreased significantly.

Or rather, because dreams are pieced together again, they are more fragmented than before.

Every now and then, a mystery will appear, seemingly out of nowhere...

"Mr. Audi, what are you doing here?" Dan Heng asked.

"Oh, didn't Yan Huan just draft a new bill? I came to discuss it with him."

Old Emperor, his body hunched over, laughed:

"It's about the enslavement of the Dream Theatre by humans. He believes that the Dream Theatre should not be treated like slaves today."

"By the way, Mr. Danheng, do you have any clues about this?"

"No."

"So, the fact that those hound family members were forced to leave the dream just now really has nothing to do with you?"

"No. They were already lying there when I arrived."

"Hehehe, okay."

As Old Audie walked toward the Dreamy Bar, he said to Dan Heng:

“Generally speaking, drafting legislation is a very serious matter.”

"In principle, all board members should discuss the matter together, then vote on it, and finally reach a conclusion."

"But Pinocchio has just suffered a major blow, and it will take more time to regain its former glory."

"Therefore, the news of the drafting of this bill only reached me."

"Mm." Dan Heng followed behind Ao Di and nodded slightly.

Audihu asked:

"Do you consider... the Dream Theatre Company to be a life?"

Dan Heng answered without hesitation:

"Is that [the clockwork boy] considered a life?"

“Hehehe~ Good question.” Old Aude laughed. “Perhaps in the eyes of those guests, [Watch Boy] is just an animated character.”

"But you and I both know that it is not just a symbol."

"It is the embodiment of [the watchmaker], the very soul of Pinocchio."

"If it has consciousness and life, then it should naturally have [human rights]."
