Starry Sky Railway: Start with some fireworks and have some fun

"I don't know, but the patriarch instructed that only you can see what's inside."

Hanabi nodded and casually picked up the briefcase.

When Hanabi opened the box, it turned out to contain the recording devices of guests at the Daydream Hotel. By simply flipping through them, one could find information on almost all the guests of the Daydream Hotel.

"Good heavens, there are so many people at the Daydream Hotel? Let me see if there are any interesting people, hehe!"

As he looked at the fireworks one by one, he became more and more surprised.

"Wow, so many factions! There's even the Wisdom Clan from the Immortal Ship! Darling, they're from your hometown! And this seems to be the Learned Scholar Society, haha, and this Memory Master... They even have their room numbers. I must say, they're quite efficient on Sundays!"

"So, who exactly are you looking for?"

"Of course, I need someone who's easy to tease! Sambo is here again, and you've turned into a little hamster. Of course, I need to find someone interesting to pass the time!"

Then, Hanabi kept browsing and eventually saw many familiar names on the list.

"Danheng, March 7th, Walter Yang, Himeko... these seem to be members of the train crew! Even people from the Starry Sky Train are coming to Pinocene?"

"Are you looking to have some fun with them?"

"No, they haven't arrived yet! It shows as unoccupied... Good heavens, they even booked the Annihilation Gang? Sure enough, I wouldn't be surprised if Star Core Hunters showed up at the Daydream Hotel."

Hanabi complained as she flipped through the pages, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find anyone who interested her, since there were just too many people.

"Alright, alright, let's rest today and look for it tomorrow! Darling, we can finally drift off to sleep!"

Qinglan nodded. "Yes! After all... dreams are the soul of Pinocchio!"

Immediately afterwards, Hanabi gently lay down in the Dream Pool, and then held the little hamster Qinglan in her hands.

Hanabi gently rubbed Qinglan's head, then her eyes drooped and she slowly drifted off to sleep...

Chapter 84 The Pinocchio That Did Not Die

"Wow, so there's a room in the dream world too! Is this what it feels like to dream? Darling, are you still there? I don't want to accidentally step on you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hanabi felt a weight on her back. When she turned around, she saw that Qinglan's arm was already on her shoulder.

Seeing that Qinglan had transformed back into human form, Hanabi blinked. "Seriously, this really worked! You actually managed to sneak in... But, darling, what if you get discovered looking like this?"

Qinglan stretched and said, "Don't worry, in the real world, I'm still under your thumb! Besides, with so many people entering Pinocchio, how would my family know if I came here illegally?"

"Hahaha, you're something else! This is the first time we've had such a clear conversation in a dream! Is this really a dream?"

As she spoke, Hanabi pinched herself and found that she felt no pain, and her eyes brightened up.

"This is getting interesting, darling. Look, I can't feel any pain when I pinch myself! Hahaha, this dreamland is really something!"

Seeing Hanabi pinching her cheeks like a child, Qinglan looked around. Although their room was similar to the room in the Daydream Hotel in reality, Qinglan felt the reality of being in a dream when he saw the books and teacups floating in mid-air.

Then, Qinglan found a fruit knife on the table and made a cut on her arm. The cut healed quickly, just as Hanabi had said, without any pain.

"Indeed, we're in a dream. Is this Pinocchio's dreamland? If possible, perhaps many people would live their whole lives here!"

However, Qinglan didn't know the extent to which this dream protection mechanism could protect her, and Hanabi only turned around to eat some fruit when she saw a very strange scene.

Qinglan kept cutting himself with the knife, but his face showed a thoughtful expression. Then he continued to make cuts.

"Honey, while dreams don't kill people, the way you're doing it is a bit perverted!"

"I'm trying to find the protective mechanism of dreams. It seems that for minor wounds like this, dreams automatically heal the body. What about this kind of wound?"

After saying that, Qinglan immediately transformed into a blade, then stabbed herself in the chest. Under Hanabi's watchful gaze, Qinglan vanished before his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Hanabi instinctively stood up and ran towards Qinglan's side, only then realizing what was happening.

"Yes, Pinocchio isn't dead. I was scared to death by this guy."

About two minutes later, Qinglan reappeared in front of Hanabi, and Hanabi asked with a helpless expression.

"What? What's it like to have died once?"

"There's definitely something to it about the protection mechanism of dreams. If someone is about to die in a dream, the Dream Pool will forcibly wake them up in reality and pull them out of the dream. It seems that in Pinocchio, just as the family said, there is indeed no death!"

After experiencing the wonders of Pinocchio firsthand, Qinglan couldn't help but sigh, realizing that his plans for entertainment were unlikely to succeed.

"Hey? Even though Pinocchio isn't dead, and all those crazy ideas of yours can't be used, we can still find other fun to do!"

"Other fun, what do you mean?"

Hanabi squinted her eyes, then took Aoran's hand and walked directly towards the door.

"Of course, I'll go to Pinocchio to play all sorts of pranks! Anyway, you've already tested it, no one dies in Pinocchio, so I can finally unleash my full power. Hehehe!"

After opening the door, the two did not arrive at a corridor that resembled a virtual space. There was nothing inside, but the surroundings were filled with materials that looked like those used in a theatrical performance.

With Hanabi holding Qinglan's hand, they ran straight to the end. A flash of bright light engulfed them.

When Hanabi opened her eyes again, she was already in a city, and everything around her felt so real.

Pinocchio, a city that oscillates between reality and illusion, is truly fascinating.

"Honey, this place is really nice, isn't it?"

Fireworks had barely finished speaking when Qinglan did not respond.

"Darling...where is he?"

Hanabi turned around and found that Qinglan, who was supposed to have come in with her, was nowhere to be found. Hanabi immediately took out her phone to try to contact Qinglan, but Qinglan sent a message first.

[Little Firework, where are you? Why did you suddenly disappear?]

[I was about to ask you the same thing! What happened?]

It seems we separated automatically while entering Pinocchio. Where are you now? I'm coming to find you.

Even if you say that... this is our first time here, and we don't even know where we are... are there any landmarks there?

Hanabi waited for about three minutes before Qinglan's message came again.

There's a large statue of a clockwork figure here... I'm next to it now.

"A statue of the Clockwork Boy? Hahaha, Qinglan really doesn't know anything about his background!"

Immediately afterwards, Hanabi bought a map nearby. When she saw the distance between her location and the Clockwork Boy statue, she couldn't help but sigh, and then typed to Aoran.

[Haha, darling, that's called Clockwork Boy. But it seems I'm still quite a distance from that statue. Why don't you play around there for a while in the meantime?]

After sending the message, Hanabi seemed to feel that something was missing and continued to add to it.

Also, don't chat with pretty girls, I'm worried you'll get scammed! Pretty girls at Pinocchio are all sorts of con artists; you can find all kinds of people there. Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried you'll get scammed out of your money. This is just a piece of advice!

At this moment, Qinglan, who was standing under the Clockwork Boy statue, smiled when she saw Hanabi's last message.

"This guy, even if Pinocchio has a lot of swindlers, can they compare to the freaks in the tavern? Does she think I'm an idiot?"

Qinglan replied immediately afterward.

"So, if that's the case, then you're the girl who's best at lying, Little Firework?"

Chapter 85: A Scene Where Morals Shattered

"This guy……"

A shy blush appeared on Hanabi's face. Looking at the text message Qinglan sent, her heart was a little flustered, but she quickly calmed herself down.

"This guy, he did it on purpose! He must have done it on purpose."

Qinglan waited for a few minutes and found that Hanabi had not sent him a message. He didn't care and simply lay down on a nearby chair, waiting for Hanabi to arrive.

"Pinocone didn't die! So my plan didn't work out. Come to think of it, you can't die in a dream! Hahaha..."

For him, Pinocchio's dreamland was a bit fantastical, but otherwise it didn't impress him. It's said that many people came for the watchmaker's legacy, but he didn't even know who the watchmaker was, and his legacy didn't interest him at all.

Okay, it's decided. If possible, he'll play a prank here. No one's going to die anyway.

What a pity! The plan to "offer death for Pinocchio" has been aborted. Since that's the case, old Sambo seems to be of no use anymore; maybe it's best not to bring him at all!

[Sambo, are you there?]

[Good heavens, you actually messaged me first! I've never seen anything like it before.]

Have you been to Pinocchio yet?

[They've already set off and should arrive in a few days. What's wrong?]

【nothing. 】

【? ? ? 】

After ending her chat with Sangbo, Qinglan sighed helplessly once again. Oh well, let's just consider this a relaxing trip for him! Anyway, Huahuo should have prepared some other entertainment for him as well.

If all else fails, he could deliberately reveal his identity as a stowaway and then engage in a love-hate chase with his family.

Qinglan thought for a while, then decided to take a nap on the bench. He then opened his eyes.

"It's like I was already sleeping. What's so special about sleeping in a dreamland? A dream within a dream? Besides, I'm not sleepy at all here!"

Qinglan didn't want to stray too far from the statue, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find Huahuo when she arrived, but the waiting process was too unbearable, which made him feel anxious and restless.

Then, Qinglan saw many people taking pictures in front of the Clockwork Boy statue, as well as tourists who seemed to have just arrived in Pinocchio on the street, and he couldn't help but smile.

"I've got it! Here's another way I can pass the time."
