Gallagher said gravely, "The story begins a long time ago. After the Watchmaker and his crew liberated the border prison, they were at a loss as to how to rebuild Pinocchio from scratch. Internal and external troubles followed one after another. Then, someone set their sights on the Star Core."

"This star core originally fell to Asdena during the war. At the urging of the Nameless Guest, people gave up the idea of ​​tackling this power. However, there are always those with ulterior motives, secretly plotting to take action."

"The turning point came after Tiernan's death. With the passing of his two fellow No-Name travelers, the Watchmaker was forced to personally embark on a pioneering expedition. This journey gave his rivals an opening."

"By the time family representatives from the Montor system arrived in response to the Watchmaker's call, the star core had already been quietly activated, silently infiltrating the original synesthetic dream."

Walnut: "I remember Pam... seemed to care a lot about these unknown guests..."

Zhongli: "Hmm... I asked them to look for it when I left, but now..."

March 7th: "Nameless Guests Are All Family..."

Xingye and Ying were rare and did not act silly, and were a little worried about Pam.

[Paimon: "What should we do now...Does Pam know?"]

Zhang Yu looked at Pam and the other kids who were humming and cleaning the record player, and sighed helplessly.

Zhang Yu (group leader) said, "Pam hasn't watched the livestream yet... Let's keep it a secret for now. We'll tell you after you guys finish exploring."

Walter: "Well, now is not a good time."

Seeing this, everyone had no other choice. After a few people adjusted their mindsets for a while, Ji Zi said to Gallagher thoughtfully:

"I guess those families happen to possess the knowledge to seal the star core?"

Gallagher shook his head. "More than that! Their understanding of the star core far surpasses that of ordinary people. Not only did they quickly help Mikhail quell the civil unrest, but they also naturally joined the construction of Pinocchio under the name of 'Harmony'."

"That was the third era known as the 'Dream Chasing Era.' The 'Watchmaker,' who had been kept in the dark, issued an invitation to the entire universe, sparking a rush to the 'Dream Land.'"

San Yue Qi asked, "Then...how did they become enemies?"

Gallagher asked, “Remember the metaphor of ‘reclaiming land from the sea’?”

"The truth is, the star core has never been sealed; it's simply been hidden in dreams in a different form. Think about it: what is the price of building and maintaining such a vast 'beautiful dream'?"

Gallagher's tone grew graver. "It's life, little girl. Dreams of splendor are built on the death of the spirit."

"The poisonous wine called 'happiness' flows through dreams, making people addicted to it. The mind gradually flows towards the same destination, eventually becoming the placenta that nourishes beautiful dreams."

"Confusion, laziness, cowardice... these weaknesses that are common in human nature are deliberately magnified and carefully nurtured by those families."

"It has turned Pinocchio into another prison, even more impenetrable than the old one."

"By the time we discovered it, it was too late. The family had already gained control of everything, and any opposition was quickly controlled and expelled."

"With nowhere else to go, I had no choice but to rely on the power of 'mystery' to hide in this chaotic memory realm. I spent several years 'inventing' a meme that belonged to us in my dreams—"

"'Slumber', that's its true name. Ordinary people can't fall asleep again in dreams, and we exploit this loophole."

Jizi suddenly realized: "So this is the true meaning of "impossible things."

"So, you sent out invitations under the name of the Watchmaker in order to find a faction capable of resolving the planet's core crisis and lure them to Pinocchio to discover the truth?"

Gallagher's eyes flashed with sharpness:

"Not only that. I'd like to see the various factions fighting endlessly over the so-called 'inheritance'—plus, with the 'Watchmaker' speaking out for the first time after disappearing for over a decade, the traitors hidden within the family will surely be exposed."

Sanyueqi murmured, "So... the 'inheritance' is really just a cover?"

Gallagher smiled faintly: "If you want to treat the star core as an inheritance, I have no objection."

Ji Zi asked: "So, where is the star core now?"

Gallagher looked off into the distance. "That's something we'll have to ask that winged-headed kid. The Star Core has always been firmly under the family's control, and he's the face of the Oak family, so he's definitely got the whole story."

Chapter 144: Is it the final chapter?

The young author has decided to speed up the pace. There are too many plots here. If you don’t understand, you can read the summary of the last few chapters.

Gallagher brought everyone to the presence of Sunday and Robin.

They had thought they would just meet up with the train crew, but now they had formed a massive team—Gallah, Mika, Misha, Firefly, Mockingbird, Sunday…

There are nearly 20 people in total. Why does this scene look so much like a street fight between thugs?

[Yan Fei: "I suspect they are ganging up on me!"]

Zhang Yu (group leader) "It feels like that..."

After everyone had communicated with Sunday and the robin, Gallagher also took everyone to see the last unknown guest.

The "Watchmaker"—Ragerwok Shar Mikhail—had already entered into an endless dream, and no sound could awaken him.

Sanyueqi suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "Sure enough! The 'Watchmaker' is the third unnamed guest. Even I guessed it~"

Gallagher nodded. "His legacy is a dream bubble. It seems to me that it contains something meaningful only to the Nameless Guest."

He shrugged helplessly. "After all, when I checked, it was completely empty... It's probably some secret code related to 'development' again, even more mysterious than me."

Ji Zi said calmly: "Well, let's see."

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly to the crowd. They all took a deep breath, gathered their composure, and cast their gazes upon the dream bubble that held the secret...

When her fingertips touched the dream bubble in Mikhail's hand, the expected scene did not appear - there was nothing inside.

San Yueqi widened his eyes: "Huh? What's going on..."

She leaned in closer to take a closer look in disbelief: "There's really nothing in this dream bubble?!"

Ji Zi frowned slightly and remained silent for a while.

San Yue Qi asked anxiously, "How could this happen?"

Gallagher seemed to have anticipated this and snorted softly:

"Hmph, it's really his style."

"He always has this inexplicable confidence in the Nameless Guest. In his plans, 'exploration' is an irreplaceable position. I really can't explain where this confidence comes from..."

His tone was complicated.

"After all, he never managed to contact the train when he was alive."

Dividing line--

Zhang Yu sat on the train seat, his eyes fixed on the live broadcast of the chat group, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised:

"It seems... they are also entering the final chapter."

He tapped his knees with his fingertips and murmured to himself:

"Will they notice anything when they find out that Misha is Ragwock Shar Mikhail?"

"But the black swan has already entered the dream. I'm afraid... I still have to experience a 'failure'."

Huang Quan was listening at the side and couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Zhang Yu already knew something a long time ago, right?"

Zhang Yu turned his head, looked at the planets passing by outside the window, smiled and nodded:

"Yeah. Actually, from the moment they walked into the hotel, the Star Core had already been influencing them. I think you also noticed when you watched the live broadcast that they sometimes communicate with invisible people."

"I'm just like you. The family doesn't want us to get involved."

He changed the subject slightly, "After all, dreams can't affect us Void Envoys. But unlike you... I wasn't expelled. Instead, I made a bet with my family."

Huang Quan frowned and thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully:

"bet?"

"Yes," Zhang Yu nodded.

"My bet is that even if I don't intervene, the nameless guests will still be able to crush the family's conspiracy."

A hint of expectation flashed in his eyes:

"The bet was that if I won, the family's share would belong to me. I just wanted to create more interesting dreams for my passengers, so I agreed."

Zhang Yu paused for a moment and then continued

"As for the other reason... it's because in this dream, that little girl Xing is hiding an opportunity that belongs to her."

Then, with a nonchalant look on his face and a faint smile on his lips, he said lightly:

"As for losing... hehe, I just helped them accomplish some things."

Hearing this, Huang Quan frowned, looking puzzled, and asked:

"Then you're not afraid of losing?"

Zhang Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile. He pointed at himself casually, then replied slowly:

"Me? Lose? Haha, putting aside how much I trust my partners, even if I really lose, I have the confidence and ability to flip the table."

Huang Quan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this, and secretly complained in his heart: Isn't this just playing tricks...

Dividing line——

Everyone also learned the whole story from Misha. In order to seal the star core, everyone decided to enter the Pinocchio Theater in advance, but the Harmony Festival was about to be held and the theater was temporarily closed due to rehearsal needs.

Just when everyone thought all was lost, the resourceful San Yue Qi came up with an unexpected plan that turned the whole thing around:

It turns out that before the Harmonious Music Ceremony begins, the family will open the venue for the "Suleda(TM) Grand Audition" to warm up for the ceremony.

As long as you win first place, you can enter the theater earlier than ordinary audiences.

After some twists and turns, everyone saw Sunday.

At first everyone thought that he had persuaded the dreamer, but when they heard him say frankly that he was a supporter of "order", everyone was surprised.

Jizi frowned. "It's unbelievable that Pinocchio is still hiding remnants of Order."

It was clear that Walter and Sunday went to find the dream master together before, but now there was no trace of Walter.

San Yue Qi couldn't contain his anger and demanded, "What did you do to Uncle Yang and Miss Mockingbird?!"

Sunday said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm just giving them some time to ponder their fate alone."

Ji Zi said in a deep voice: "You should understand that doing this means becoming an enemy of the Star Train."

"Even if we really have to make enemies with you nameless guests, it will only be me and the Oak family. But we haven't reached that point yet, have we?"

Sunday changed the subject, saying, "Everyone is fighting for justice for Pinocchio, and everyone sees your kindness."

Ying frowned slightly and pointed directly to the core:

"You want to negotiate with us?"

Sunday nodded approvingly: "Smart, kid. Your thinking is as sharp as that gentleman's."

Ji Zi refused to give in:

"If it is 'Order' that has driven you to imprison Walter and Mockingbird, and you're using this to coerce us into submission, then I don't think there's any need for us to sit down and negotiate."

"You misunderstood, Miss Himeko."

Sunday explained slowly, "They are safe. As the family has always promised, no one will be harmed in the Dream Realm, let alone in the brave new world that Order will create."

His tone gradually deepened, with an unquestionable certainty:

"Pinoconi and this universe have witnessed the blood of too many innocents. The strong wield their swords against the weak, and the victors bring the losers' lives to an end..."

"So-called natural selection is nothing more than allowing the world to build the well-being of all mankind on the remains of the weak. Only we, the fate walkers of "order" - or rather, only I, have the ability to end this absurd farce."

When Ji Zi heard this, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes:

"You intend to resurrect a dead Star God? No one has ever been able to do such a thing."

Chapter 145 The truth comes out

[Ningguang: "Resurrect the Star God!"]

[Lei Movie "Can such an existence be resurrected?"]

[Black Tower: "Haha, Ruan Mei, it seems someone is doing the same thing as you are, although for a different purpose."]

When Zhou Ri was communicating with Ji Zi and others, Xi Pei glanced at Xing
