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

Qinglan stared in surprise, then his brain raced, and he slowly came to understand the whole story.

Why did this old man say he was guilty of murder? Why did his family secretly imprison him in his dreams? Now everything makes sense.

"The family wants to extract the core of this technology from this old man so they can control it, right?"

"Not only that, the organization that conducted this experiment back then was a company! Some other companies might have been involved too! But how exactly did they manage to throw a dead person into the Land of Dreams?"

Qinglan thought for a moment, then a room came to mind, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Little Firework, I think... I know which room he's in. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

About ten minutes later, Qinglan returned, but this time he was holding a bubble in his hand.

"What is this, dear?"

"The family is really amazing! I never imagined they could use this method to put that old man into a dream and let him live for hundreds of years."

Hanabi looked at the mass of memories, and then an idea immediately popped into her mind.

"Wait, has he really become a memory mass?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I guess it's because the physical bodies of short-lived species can't be preserved, so they extracted Chadwick's consciousness. Anyway, as long as they have a brain, they'll figure out this technology sooner or later."

Hanabi slowly gasped, "So now you've managed to get this thing here, darling, what are you going to do next?"

Qinglan smiled slightly, "I want to send this to the Genius Club to stir things up! I'd love to witness the battle between intellect and harmony firsthand! And this is solid evidence! But those lunatics in the Genius Club are elusive, so can you recommend someone I can send it to?"

Hanabi shook her head helplessly. "You can choose the person yourself! I know nothing about the Genius Club, but they are just like us Fools, a bunch of inhuman lunatics. I don't think they would risk offending the family for someone who has been dead for so many years."

"That's true. Those lunatics don't care about anything but their own research, so let's keep this for now! If it's not of any use, we can keep it as a souvenir."

Hanabi's lips twitched. "You're so boring, treating this as a souvenir!"

"Hahaha, Chadwick is in my hands now, the family must be going crazy! Just thinking about it is hilarious!"

"Alright, let's leave this old man's business for now. Aren't we going to have some fun at Pinocchio? While we're busy, my little apprentice has probably already finished his date and won over that little gray hair! Hahaha, let's go, let's go, let's go back to Pinocchio and see how my apprentice fared!"

…………

Upon entering Pinocchio once again, as expected, Fireworks and Azure Mist landed separately again. Every time we enter, we have to separate them. Pinocchio needs to improve in this aspect.

After Huahu sent Qinglan her location, she found a place to sit for a while, but the next moment...

"Hey! You are... Miss Hanabi?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Hanabi turned around again. "Robin, what a coincidence! We meet again. Who are you... going to see?"

"Mr. Gallagher of the Hound family asked to meet me here. He seems to have discovered something about the traitor within the family."

Hearing this, Hanabi frowned slightly. "He invited you over, were you alone?"

"Yes! My brother is currently preparing for the Harmonious Music Festival, and this is something I want to investigate. I don't want to trouble my brother. In addition, there's my voice problem, so I... I want to investigate the truth behind these things."

Hanabi smiled. "What a coincidence! I'm waiting for someone too! It's quite boring while waiting, we can chat to pass the time!"

"Okay!"

Time passed slowly, and soon the person the robin was waiting for came towards them...

Qinglan ran towards the location of the fireworks. Every time he came in, he had to do a long run. He was starting to complain about the Pinocchio's falling mechanism.

However, just as he saw Hanabi's figure, an accident occurred.

"Robin, watch out!"

Just as Hanabi was about to push the robin away, suddenly, a tail covered in eyes struck like lightning and pierced through Hanabi's delicate body!

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, especially Qinglan, who had just arrived at the scene. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at what was happening before him.

Hanabi's face was pale at this moment, but the strange, large tail was still tightly embedded in her body.

"Hanabi!"

Qinglan rushed towards Hanabi's side. As Hanabi fell, she saw Qinglan running towards her with a panicked expression.

However, just as their fingertips were about to touch, Hanabi's body exploded and turned into a puddle of liquid.

"Hana, Hanabi-san, what... ah!"

Before the robin could finish speaking, the large tail pierced through it mercilessly.

Qinglan stared blankly at everything that was happening before her eyes. They had clearly agreed to have fun together, but now, Hanabi had been killed by this monster.

Looking at the robin, which had also turned into a puddle of liquid, Qinglan slowly stood up. He touched his heart, and then looked at the monster in front of him. He immediately remembered what Hanabi had once told him.

In the realm of memories, there is a monster that can actually kill people in dreams! However, such a monster is generally unlikely to appear in Pinocchio, so Qinglan didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

However, to his utter surprise, this monster appeared and took Hanabi's life right before his eyes.

Just now, he witnessed Hanabi die right before his eyes.

Hanabi is dead.

Qinglan slowly closed her eyes. She had never experienced this feeling before. It was so oppressive and uncomfortable.

Is this what sadness is? Is he sad because Hanabi died?

Is this... sadness?

Qinglan slowly stood up. He looked at the monster, and a surge of hatred instantly flashed in his eyes.

"You scum, die!"

Chapter 114 Fireworks, the clothes you wore to the amusement park were really nice.

Without any hesitation, Qinglan took off the bracelet on her hand, and the next moment, the bracelet turned into a sharp spear.

Qinglan brandished her spear and thrust it towards the monster. The monster seemed to sense the danger and swung its disgusting tail, attempting to stab Qinglan in return.

However, Qinglan ignored them one by one. The death of Hanabi kept appearing in his mind. At this moment, a thought filled his mind.

Kill this monster, slaughter this guy.

The collision of the spear and the spike produced a deafening, suffocating sound.

The monster then quickly retreated, seemingly realizing that it couldn't defeat the man wielding the spear in close combat.

However, seeing that it was about to retreat, Qinglan transformed her spear once again, turning it into a bow and arrow. Qinglan drew the bow and nocked an arrow, intending to shoot the creature dead!

"Shhhhh!"

Three arrows were fired, hitting the monster directly in the eye. Then, the bow and arrow in his hand transformed into a meteor hammer, smashing the monster to the ground.

Qinglan was very skilled in using weapons, and he felt no unfamiliarity with so many different weapon styles.

Seeing the monster in front of him injured, Qinglan did not hesitate. The hammer in her hand transformed into a long sword, and she slashed straight at the guy's wound, wanting to kill the monster completely.

However, at that moment, the monster vanished before Qinglan's eyes as if responding to a summons, and the slash landed directly on the empty ground.

Qinglan gripped her sword tightly, staring silently in the direction the monster had disappeared.

Suddenly, Qinglan seemed to hear footsteps behind him, and almost instantly, he slashed his sword behind him.

"Wait, Qinglan, don't cut! It's me, Sand Gold!"

Sand Gold quickly dodged Qing Lan's knife. After seeing Sand Gold's appearance, the gloom in Qing Lan's eyes softened a bit.

"when did you come."

"It's been a while. I heard fighting coming from here, so I came over. The one who was just killed was... the robin, and the other one is..."

Seeing Qinglan's expression, Shajin did not reveal the girl's name. He had previously guessed that Qinglan and Huabi had a close connection.

As it turned out, Qinglan denied it last time, and she didn't admit it again when she saw that girl this time. But when he saw Qinglan's expression, he was certain.

After all, he's had that expression before!

"...Do you have any clues about that monster from earlier?"

Sand Gold shook his head, while Qinglan slowly closed her eyes, turned around and walked towards a certain place.

Sand Gold did not stop him, because Qing Lan was in great danger at the moment, and he might do anything crazy.

"A rare and exquisite artifact, I never imagined it would be in your hands. Hehehe, my friend, you've kept it well hidden!"

Sand Gold muttered to himself, looking in the direction where the robin had died. He sighed helplessly, wondering what expression the most handsome man in all of Pinocchio would have when he learned that his beloved sister had been killed.

At this moment, Qinglan slowly found a chair and sat down. He didn't show much sadness on his face as the fireworks disappeared before his eyes, but it felt as if there was a thorn stuck in his heart that he couldn't pull out.

"Little Firework...is she really dead?"

Qinglan took out the things that Huahuo had given him before, including the Sulphur drink she had taken out a few days ago that she hadn't finished, as well as some small items she had bought for him.

Then, an item came into his view: the dream bubble that Hanabi gave him when he confessed his feelings to her—a beautiful dream that belonged only to him.

Hanabi had previously said she wanted him to find a secluded place to fully experience the dream, but she's been busy with so many things these past few days that she's delayed the dream experience for a long time.

Qinglan's eyes were devoid of emotion as she slowly touched the Dream Bubble, and he, having lost the Fireworks, experienced the gift she had given him.

.........

"Oops, honey, your expression looks a bit stiff! What happened?"

Looking at the fireworks before him, Qinglan's eyes flashed with complex emotions. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but he couldn't control his body.

Yes! This is a dream she created for herself, which means that everything in the dream is fake.
