Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

"While everyone is here."

"Let me explain briefly."

He gestured for everyone to sit around the sofa, and Ji Zi, with Gu Jing's arm around her delicate waist, skillfully steered the conversation with the air of a mature wife.

As she spoke, she took out a music box: "This is the invitation [the family] sent to our Starry Sky Train. Just wind it up and it will play music. Strangely enough, there are some discordant notes mixed in with the background music..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she demonstrated it again. After winding it up, the music box indeed played a pre-recorded message: [We cordially invite 'distinguished guests of the family' to Pinocchio to join us in a grand banquet with other guests.]

After listening patiently, everyone present, including those watching the live stream, noticed that there were indeed some discordant notes in the music.

[Himeko: When I discovered this, I also transcribed these noises.]

[Himeko: Then they discovered that their frequencies perfectly matched the gravitational waves emitted during the train's jump.]

[Himeko: And the spatial curvature of the train engine is used as the key to deciphering it.]

Himeko: I have obtained a coded message.

Himeko: [Taking in the impossible things from my dream.]

[Himeko: [Finds the legacy of the "watchmaker," the father of Pinocchio].]

[Himeko: [Then the answer: Why does life fall asleep?]

Himeko: Generally speaking—

[Himeko: This is actually a common way for us nameless people to call for help.]

[Himeko: But it's not exactly secret information; the Masked Fool, the Riddler, and the Otherworldly Demon can do the same.]

Himeko: Therefore, I cannot draw a conclusion either.

[Himeko: However... while we can't rule out the possibility that this is misleading, since this is a meticulously designed game, then from a certain perspective, this cipher text might be a clue intentionally given by the mastermind behind it.]

Silver Wolf: It definitely has that vibe.

Silver Wolf: There's a saying, "If you're going to show off, do it for those who understand."

Silver Wolf: Even the best works need an audience to appreciate them.

Silver Wolf: It's completely pointless to talk to a brick wall.

Silver Wolf: But speaking of watchmakers...

[Silver Wolf: I've also found some interesting information here.]

Silver Wolf: You probably won't believe it, but it sounds unbelievable.

Silver Wolf: This 'father of Pinocchio' was labeled a traitor by the [family] long ago.

Silver Wolf: The specific reason for this incident is currently unknown.

Silver Wolf: But it also seems to be related to the Star Train.

[Silver Wolf: It seems... this watchmaker was once one of the Nameless Ones.]

Silver Wolf: Besides that—

[Silver Wolf: There's also an interesting nursery rhyme in the dream world called "A Family of Seven."]

[Silver Wolf: Image and Text.jpg]

Attracted by the image, people clicked on it and were greeted with a strange nursery rhyme that contained a hint of bloodshed.

The specific content is further divided into four sections.

The first paragraph tells the story of a group of bad children who were locked in a cold iron cage. The jailer was heartless and enslaved them every day. Later, a big dog broke through the iron cage, and the group of bad children gained their freedom in this war.

This also formed a family of seven.

The second paragraph is what's really scary. It says that the family of seven lived in poverty, and there were local bullies blocking the road outside the village. Because they had no food, they resorted to cannibalism. The family of seven had dwindled to just six.

The third paragraph reads: [Six people hid in their home, nestled in a desolate little courtyard. The big dog, exhausted, slept soundly; a broken mirror injured a bird's wing; red flowers and green grass could not flourish; withered trees and rotten wood could not straighten. A butterfly flew out of its nest alone, only to encounter a swarm of large grasshoppers. The large insects ate the small ones, leaving only five members of the family.]

******

Finally, there is a fourth paragraph—

[Five people sleep in the house, spending all their time lying in the small house.]

[Angels visit at night, singing a harmonious symphony.]

[The melody is as beautiful as a dream, a dream filled with abundance and prosperity.]

From then on, everything went smoothly, and everyone could close their eyes and enjoy peace and comfort.

[Everyone, please don't wake up and forget those hard days.]

Those who read it patiently and know some inside information have already figured it out: this strange nursery rhyme is actually a metaphor for the development history of the [family].

The [family] once had seven lineages: Oak, Hound, Iris, Clover, Night Thrush, Fruit, and Butterfly.

According to the hints given by the nursery rhyme, [the withered stump and rotten wood (oak) can hardly bear the weight, and the green grass (clover) wants to find fertilizer], the fruit family has already been divided up among its own members, while the butterfly family chose to leave the [family] and was soon destroyed by the global insect plague.

The remaining five families, however, were incredibly lucky. One night, they were blessed by "Tongxie" and enjoyed comfort in the dream world.

However... now that we know the bad ending of Pinocchio is that everyone is asleep in their dreams, looking back at the line "[Don't wake up, everyone, forget those hard days]", people always feel that this sentence is somewhat intriguing.

******

[Kafka: There's too much information, let me organize it.]

[Kafka: First of all, Himeko's discovery seems to confirm one thing: there must have been a traitor within [the family].]

[Kafka: Secondly, this traitor hidden behind the scenes also wants people to see the impossible things in dreams, and wants them to search for the "watchmaker's" legacy, thereby solving a riddle: Why does life sleep?]

[Kafka: If we take this as a clue, everything points to the "watchmaker."]

[Kafka: The last point is rather intriguing.]

[Kafka: Normally, families who believe in "harmony" would be like obsessive-compulsive disorder patients; any discordant sound would be extremely jarring to them. But this time, their choice was a calculated move.]

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ······

[Kavka: In other words, [the family] clearly has its own plans.]

[Kafka: And *The Family of Seven* further exposes the dark secrets of the [family].]

[Kafka: Combined with the previous point that if Little Star didn't cooperate with Sand Gold, a bad end would ensue where everyone is asleep in a dream.]

[Kafka: You mean to say...]

[Kafka: Is the [family's] plan to assimilate everyone attending this banquet?]

[Silver Wolf: You're overthinking it, Kaffa. I didn't say that.]

Silver Wolf: It's now confirmed that someone wants to cause trouble at the [Harmonious Music Ceremony].

Silver Wolf: But it's hard to say whether the biggest mastermind is the [family] or some traitor.

[Silver Wolf: It's undeniable that "A Family of Seven" does reveal some dark aspects, but for this dark nursery rhyme to emerge at this crucial juncture, isn't it possible that it's a smokescreen dropped by some traitor?]

[Black Tower: Not bad, there are too many factions involved in this game: Harmony, Mysticism, Masked Fool, Preservation, Rememberers, Nameless Guest... Who is good and who is bad? Who can say for sure just by talking?]

.... ..... ....

[Black Tower: But what if "A Family of Seven" reveals is true?]

[Black Tower: This [family] and these traitors, I doubt there's a single good one among them.]

[March 7th: I get it!]

March 7th: Just like in a detective novel!

[March 7th: Who knows, classic scenes like family feuds, broken homes, and rivers of blood might unfold next!]

[March 7th: That's so exciting!]

[Gu Jing: Alright, alright, so you're all starting to play the prediction game now, huh? Someone, take this prophet out and chop him up!]

[March 7th: Haha~ I was just kidding, how could I possibly die in a dream!]

[March 7th: Hey! Wait a minute—!!!]

March 7th: Witnessing the impossible from my dreams...

March 7th: This...

******

On the sofa, the pink-haired girl, who was halfway through her speech, suddenly realized that dying in a dream was something that could never happen in a dream. Seeing her bewildered expression through the live stream, Hanabi, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

[Fireworks: Looks like you've already figured it out. Still saying you're not a prophet @March7th?]

[Xingbao: Speaking of which, I need to clarify something for March.]

[Xingbao: She's really not a prophet.]

[Xingbao: She's a jinx.]

[March 7th: Right, right...right my foot!]

[March 7th: I never expected that my casual remark would be so accurate.]

[March 7th: But I must say, whether it's dying in a dream or sleeping forever in a dream, I don't want that kind of ending! Let the mastermind behind this bring on their schemes! I'll smash their head in!]

[Bai Lu: Good! That's ambitious! The peanuts and melon seeds are ready, just waiting to see the show!]

[Hiluva: Haha! Well said!]

[Hiluva: Go for it!]

[Tingyun: This humble woman is eagerly awaiting the outcome.]

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Gu Jing didn't delay and snapped his fingers, taking the four people from Huang Quan into the dream world of Pinocchio.

Chapter 281 Silver Wolf: All I can say is—these teammates are all incredibly skilled!

The Daydream Hotel physically covers the entire Pinocchio, but that's just the surface. Only by entering the dream can one truly enter this star of the event. And the Pinocchio in the dream is composed of 12 independent dreamscapes.

This time, Gu Jing chose to enter the dream world [the golden moment].
