"Why did that Hanabi guy attack you?"

Seeing this, Black Swan quickly interrupted:

"Regarding this, I feel it's necessary to clarify a fact for everyone. Miss Hanabi's tricks can indeed cause people to hallucinate, but those strange dreams actually have nothing to do with her. Instead, they originate from Pinocchio himself."

Upon hearing this, March Seven couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked suspiciously:

"Pinocone...itself? What on earth is going on?"

The corners of Black Swan's mouth rose slightly, and he continued:

"Haven't you noticed yet? The so-called 'Dreamland' is nothing more than the result of the family's meticulous construction and maintenance through some unknown means. All of this is just a beautiful dream."

Black Swan continued:

"And the memory realm they fell into is what dreams are supposed to be. It's filled with chaos, danger, and mystery, like an unpredictable maze, where the beasts of memory—memetics—live."

Zhang Yu spoke slowly:

"She's right. Everyone, do you remember the scenery you saw when you fell asleep?"

Xing and Ying looked at each other, thought for a moment, and answered in unison:

"deep sea!"

March Seven cried out in surprise:

"Huh, so everyone sees the same thing? I remember... then there was a guest room, and then through the mirror, there was a long corridor..."

Walter added:

"'The Gallery of Thoughts,' that's what the hotel staff calls it."

Ji Zi said thoughtfully:

"Don't you think these scenes are very different from the Pinocchio in your dreams? However, they are very similar to the scenes later in the live broadcast room..."

Walter said thoughtfully:

"That's true... I didn't take it seriously when I first saw it, but now that I think about it carefully, I find that there are so many similarities between the two."

Jizi then added:

"Also, I learned an important piece of information from some regular customers. According to them, the first stop after entering the dream was supposed to be the 'Dream Hotel,' but due to some unexpected circumstances, 'the hotel is currently undergoing renovations.'"

Black Swan heard this and reminded:

"So, under what circumstances would a building need repairs? Considering what they just experienced, the answer is actually quite obvious."

Black Swan paused for a moment, then continued:

"Pinocone's beautiful dream is gradually sinking. It is returning to its original form... and finally falling into the deep sea memory."

San Yue Qi asked in astonishment:

"Sinking? Do you mean... the dream world is disintegrating?"

Black Swan nodded and answered affirmatively:

"Yes, what happened at the Dream Hotel was a harbinger of this phenomenon."

After a moment of silence, Walter suddenly realized:

"...I see. That would explain the awkwardness in the family's language."

Walter continued:

"If this news were to become known to the outside world, regardless of the actual safety of the residents, the reputation of the Gala Star would inevitably be affected. With the Harmony Festival approaching, they had no choice but to conceal the matter."

Black Swan nodded:

"Perhaps the safety of the residents cannot be guaranteed... Isn't the monster they encountered the best proof? Do you want me to remind you again? It's a memory domain meme..."

"How could a meme alluding to death and murder appear in a dream the family claims is 'perfectly safe'... In Pinocchio, everyone can lie—perhaps even the family itself?"

San Yueqi sighed with a gloomy face, spread his hands, and said helplessly:

"Ah, how did I get into trouble again..."

Zhang Yu suppressed his laughter and deliberately drew out his tone:

"This is better than your last time working as a pioneer for half a month, right?"

"Zhang Yu you——!"

Sanyueqi instantly got angry, put his hands on his hips and stared with wide eyes, like a little animal with angry fur.

"If you mention this again, I'll stab you with an ice pick!"

As he said this, he curled up his fingers and made a "dragon claw" gesture, then stomped his foot angrily.

This look made everyone laugh. Ji Zi covered her mouth and laughed softly, and Walter's mouth also had a slight mark.

Even Si Ke Ke, who usually had a blank expression on his face, raised the corners of his mouth, and the tense atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Chapter 129: Thunder and Lightning·Wangchuanshou·Meiyi?

After everyone had played around for a while, Jizi's eyes fell on the black swan, and she gently put her fingertips on her chin and asked:

"There's something I've always been curious about—why did Liuguang Yiting choose to cooperate with the Starry Sky Train?"

Black Swan bowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of correction:

"This is not Yiting's decision, but my personal request."

When she raised her eyes, a tiny light flashed in her eyes.

"The answer is very simple, Miss Jizi. I want to make an exchange - an exchange of "memories."

"Besides my duties, I always have some personal obsessions."

She pressed her fingertips lightly on her temples, her tone lazy and serious.

"I'm a rememberer, but I'm also a collector of memories. Who wouldn't want to witness those precious moments, as glittering as broken diamonds? You probably understand this feeling, right?"

Her eyes swept over everyone on the train, and her smile deepened:

"And you, the unknown passengers of the Starry Sky Train, the travelers on the path of 'pioneering'... I believe in your potential, and even more so, I believe that you will shine your unique light on this stage."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned to Zhang Yu, her eyes raised with joy:

"Besides, this is a lucky person favored by the Star God. Your memory must contain many adventures, right?"

"That's why I want to make friends with you all."

She spread her hands, her voice as light as a feather,

"The place where nightmares and sweet dreams intertwine is the best cradle of memory, isn't it?"

Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly:

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. My memory has a protection mechanism that you can't see through."

Seeing a hint of gloom in Black Swan's eyes, Zhang Yu changed the subject and smiled:

"But I can take you to some interesting places where there are countless "memories" worth collecting."

Black Swan's eyes lit up instantly, and he leaned forward slightly:

"Oh? What place is it?"

Zhang Yu didn't say anything, and operated the system to pull Black Swan into the chat group

"Ding--"

A crisp notification sound cut through the air, and a line of text lit up before everyone's eyes:

(Black Swan has joined the chat group)

Black Swan was surprised for a moment, and then looked at the memory fragments and chat records uploaded by Zhang Yu with excitement.

When he saw the Star God, he was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He ignored everyone and focused on the chat group.

Seeing this, Paimeng spread his hands helplessly.

"What a weird person! By the way, how is Miss Liuying?"

Zhang Yu nodded, and Xing and the others were relieved upon seeing this.

Afterwards, the train crew read Silver Wolf's message and decided to find out what was going on here. They planned to go into the dream again to investigate. Everyone in Teyvat also expressed their willingness to help.

When Xing and the others entered the dream again and passed by the lobby, they encountered an unexpected person who was confronting several monsters.

Huang Quan also noticed Xing and the others and had some questions.

"Eh? Why is it you?"

Paimon touched his chin with his little hand and asked with a skeptical look on his face.

"You're not lost again..."

Huang Quan shook his head and denied:

"That's not the way to say it. I just don't know where I am."

Paimon was speechless... Doesn't that mean he's lost?

[Hu Tao: "Haha, this Miss Huang Quan is really interesting."]

Yaejinko: "Haha, just like a certain country girl, with the same expression, she made a mistake but...ah...it was just a cricket or lightning...I'm already immune to it! I can become a god! Country..."

Lei Dianying: "? Huh? Why aren't you talking anymore? Don't you like talking?"

After Xing and his companions defeated the monster together, they decided to investigate together, so they teamed up with Huang Quan.

At this moment, Xing and the others felt the space become sticky, and immediately realized that Zhang Yu's passengers had their fate sealed.

When Xing and Ying appeared in the mysterious space, they saw Alechino (servant), Clorinde, Eula and Guoba standing in front of them.

Huang Quan was entering here for the first time and was a little confused about the situation. Paimon explained it to him.

Black Swan had read the relevant news in the group and was very excited to record it.

Ying asked Charlotte curiously what happened.

"We encountered a group of toy-like monsters, Alechino (servant)?, Guoba and Clorinde? And Eula, who sacrificed herself to save Xiangling and me..."

Charlotte's tone was a little sad, and her voice was trembling. Xiangling beside her also had red eyes and was no longer laughing.

Ying comforted him, "Don't worry, Zhang Yu is here, nothing will happen. Look at Xing, he was spat on by the Doomsday Beast and he is still alive and well."

Xing was originally very proud when he heard Ying mention him, but he became unhappy after hearing this. What does it mean to spit? His status dropped immediately, so he said quietly.

"Yingbao...you have changed..."

Zhang Yu also comforted

"Charlotte, Xiangling, it's okay. This is their choice, and it's a good thing now, isn't it?"

Jizi went over and hugged Xiangling and Charlotte, silently comforting them.

Just when Charlotte was about to say something,

Nanook, the Star God of Destruction

Guardian Star God Klipper

Abundant Star God Pharmacist

Klipper glanced at Eula and Clorinde

Nanook looked at Alechino (servant)?

The pharmacist looked at Guoba, and he was probably also attracted by Guoba's cute appearance, so he reached out and touched Guoba's head.

Guoba: "Lulululul???"
