Nanook's seven kings were all ruthless and decisive, leaving behind a trail of destruction and devastation in their wake. None of them had ever appeared so leisurely.

Fenfeng is notorious for his capricious and unpredictable nature. His combat power is so terrifying that he can single-handedly crush an interstellar fleet and casually shatter a small star system.

Logically speaking...

The other party has intruded into his core territory of Pinocchio with a destructive identity. They are either plotting war or harboring a conspiracy. They are definitely not going to be so peaceful.

But the current situation is completely beyond his expectations.

On Sunday, I pondered silently, my mind rapidly weighing the pros and cons.

First of all, if the opponent really intends to make a move, the moment when space is most unstable after the jump landing is the best opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

If Fenfeng were to raise his hand and strike, his heavily reinforced dream barrier would be unable to withstand it. The entire outer airspace of Pinocchio would be instantly torn apart by the destructive force, and the grand ceremony site, the floating city-state, and countless living beings would all suffer instantly.

But the other party didn't move.

Throughout the entire process, he behaved himself and even deliberately concealed his aura, showing no hostility whatsoever.

Secondly, the Star Train itself has a special origin.

Wandering the stars, neutral and uncontested, not participating in the conflicts between star gods, not getting involved in the grudges between major factions, and spending years traveling between various star systems and planets to help people in need.

If he were to stop the train without asking why, or even force a fight, it would be disastrous.

Putting aside whether they can retain the Fenfeng, once a fight breaks out, Pinocchio will definitely suffer losses, the Harmony Ceremony will be completely ruined, and the "peaceful dream, joy for all things" brand that he painstakingly maintained will be directly destroyed.

What if the entire Star Ocean thinks that Pinocchio is stingy, xenophobic, and domineering, and actively provokes conflict?

Not worth the candle.

Finally, and most importantly.

He couldn't see through the Fenfeng.

What exactly is this foehn wind doing here?

Is he deliberately feigning madness to lull everyone into a false sense of security, waiting for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow to Pinocchio?

No, that's completely out of character for him.

I thought about it again and again on Sunday.

I can't figure it out.

I can't figure it out at all.

If you can't figure out the other party's cards and intentions, it would be the greatest folly to start a war rashly.

On Sunday, with a deep gaze, he stared at Lu Feng, who was lazily slacking off on the train, and quickly made a final decision in his mind.

We can't stop them now.

They didn't dare to stop them forcefully.

Rather than forcing a war amidst unknown risks and escalating the conflict to its fullest extent, it would be better to go with the flow and let them in.

People come in and move around right under his nose.

He had complete control over the entire order of Pinocchio, its surveillance network, and the dream barrier.

By keeping a close watch and monitoring every move in real time, he can detect any unusual activity from the other party immediately and stop the damage as soon as possible.

While it's impossible to kill him, it's possible to repel him.

This is still much better than forcing the other side to start a war outside the domain and destroying his entire Dream Starfield.

Having figured all this out, the seriousness in Sunday's eyes faded slightly, replaced by extreme caution and vigilance.

He raised his hand and reactivated the global communication network, and the tense atmosphere of war gradually eased.

His voice remained calm and authoritative, resonating throughout all combat units.

"All combat forces shall cease their wartime offensive posture, and the airspace blockade shall be lifted, and the outer layer of interception defenses shall be removed."

"Allow the Starry Sky Train to enter the country legally, and permit the Starry Sky Train to disembark and land at Pinocone."

As soon as the order was given, the entire dreamlike starry sea, which had been stretched to its limit, breathed a sigh of relief.

Countless hidden guards slowly withdrew from their positions, their taut weapons quietly returned to their places, and the layers of barriers pressing down on the airspace slowly dissipated.

That suffocating, oppressive feeling, like facing a formidable enemy, gradually dissipated.

But everyone knows it.

The crisis is not over.

On Sunday, a cold, hard instruction was added at the end.

"Everyone is now under close surveillance. Every move, word, and energy fluctuation of everyone on the train is recorded in real time."

"Foehn...keep a close watch on them."

"If he shows even the slightest sign of destructive activity, without needing to request permission, the entire region's strongest combat force will immediately surround and repel him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the undercurrents within Pinocchio completely subsided into calm.

On the surface, the gentle and peaceful dreamscape has been restored, but in secret, a net of traps has already been laid.

……

Inside the train.

The tense atmosphere among the group instantly became aware of the changes in the outside world.

The oppressive feeling that was so tight around me, making me feel uncomfortable, is rapidly fading away.

Dan Heng's tense back relaxed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"It's off; all the outer defenses have been withdrawn."

Walter nodded slightly, but his expression remained serious.

"He chose to let us in."

Himeko let out a soft breath, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"It seems we were overthinking it. They must have confirmed that we have no hostile intentions and granted us permission to participate in the ceremony."

Himeko said that, but she didn't really think that way.

March 7th breathed a huge sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said cheerfully.

"That scared me to death! I thought there was going to be a fight as soon as we landed! It was a false alarm! Come on, let's hurry inside and get out of the car to take a look around! I've been wanting to see the grand spectacle of Pinocchio for ages!"

The train quickly pulled into Pinocchio and arrived at its stop, during which time Hoshi also woke up.

Dan Heng wanted to leave someone in the car with Pam, but Walter refused.

The two looked at each other, and Danheng nodded.

The group of people who were about to get off the bus composed themselves and prepared to disembark.

Just then, Lu Feng, who had been lounging on the sofa and practically invisible the whole time, finally sat up slowly.

Lu Feng casually put away his phone and slowly spoke.

"You're getting off? Take me with you."

His tone was calm, and his mindset was remarkably composed.

Little did they know that his simple phrase, "Get off and take a stroll," instantly put countless people hiding outside on edge again.

In the monitoring list of all Pinocchio forces.

Others get off the bus as tourists.

His getting off the bus was part of a high-risk, world-ending target entry activity.

Dan Heng looked at Lu Feng.

Aren't you going to rest?

Lu Feng glanced at Dan Heng, then shook his head.

Walter glanced at Lu Feng, who showed no signs of anything amiss, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Himeko nodded with a smile.

"Alright, let's go down together. The Harmonious Music Ceremony is about to begin, and it should get lively outside soon."

Dan Heng glanced at Walter, who remained silent for a moment before nodding.

Dan Heng sat back down on the sofa, and Walter came to sit next to Himeko and the others.
