Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

"From what we've seen so far, Pinocone now has a company, a family, a fool, and a messenger, and it's possible that there are even deeper hidden forces. However, we can't completely trust the videos; they're like edited movies that only show us what they've presented."

"The company has its own objectives, but our relationship with the company is fairly good."

"Black swans crave unique memories, so we must be wary."

"The Fool is a ticking time bomb; he might just cause a huge disaster."

"As for the families, this is their territory, and they have no idea what they are planning with the grand event about to begin."

Himeko, Hoshi, and March 7th were also listening attentively to Welt's analysis.

“That’s good, but just looking at the video isn’t enough. Let’s enter the dream world and see it for ourselves.”

Upon hearing this, Xing and March 7th readily agreed, as they had both longed to enter the dream world for quite some time.

"Then it's settled. We'll discuss it further when we get back."

I came to the room, lay down in the dream pool, and drifted off to sleep.

Firefly, I'm coming to find you. Wait for me.

“…Mikhail…”

Opening her eyes, Xing was no longer afraid of the air. She took out the prepared Wind Wings and floated down.

That's right, Xing bought the Wind Wings of Mondstadt from the Genshin Impact world early on from the MiYin Mall.

"Oh ho~, Pinocchio, the Galaxy Baseball Man, is here."

Chapter 25 Mikhail

A star drifting in the wind reaches a street corner and successfully encounters a firefly.

This time, there was no one else to disturb us. As for why we met so quickly—it was a two-way encounter.

Perhaps the fireflies have been waiting for the stars to enter their dreams all along.

The star, not yet fallen to the ground, calls out to the fireflies.

"Firefly, here, here!"

How could Firefly not notice? But she still pretended to be surprised.

"Haha, Xingni is actually on top."

"Come on, my Miss Firefly, let me show you around this time."

Her eyes curved slightly as she gazed intently at the stars.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Just like in the video, the two of them enjoyed the scenery, played video games, and watched street performances together...

Finally, they went to the secret base, although it was no longer a secret.

"Stars and fireflies are indeed a perfect match!"

Putting down the observation projector, Yu Mo couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Little A, do you think I'm suited to become—a god?"

"Manager, please have faith in yourself. Aren't you looking forward to it too?"

Perhaps. I will shed tears for tragedy, be happy for beauty, and grieve for parting...

But can I really become a god like this?

The blogger you follow has updated!

Having received the train's message, Xing and Liuying arrived at the golden hour together, ready to return to reality.

There was no one around as we walked, but when we arrived in the center, we saw Sambo standing there as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Sambo? Is that guy behind this?

"We meet again, my dear..."

Sambo looked at Xing with fireflies and felt a little regretful.

"Alas, it seems you didn't take my advice to heart at all... What a shame, you are so obsessed with that girl?"

【Yes!!!】

The lovely fireflies have already confessed to us.

[Huo Huo: This person is really annoying.]

[Sambo: Family, does anyone know? I didn't go anywhere!!!]

“You’re really… too blind,” Sambo said with dissatisfaction.

The firefly, noticing this, also took two steps forward to block the star behind it.

"Be careful, now I'm sure there's something wrong with your friend."

"Oh my, it seems this brave young lady wants to protect you. Why? Are you two that close?"

Firefly stared at Sambo with hostility.

"Without further ado."

Sangbo was so angry that he laughed instead.

"I love your personality so much, darling. I admit, you're different from that little gray hair; your nose is quite sensitive."

"Even so, you've fallen behind the main group. Haven't you realized yet—the family is hiding the secret behind this beautiful dream?"

[Is this something we can hear? We won't be silenced, will we?]

[Ring: We're about to get to the core.]

[Gold Sand: It seems the family is in trouble now]

"As for you, Little Gray Fur, the pioneer who saved the icy world, how much suffering did Sambo endure in Yalilo's stories? Never mind, it's my fault for believing him..."

"...I'm really, really disappointed in you."

Sambo raised his hands, and illusory red fish floated around them, making the two of them feel dizzy.

A strange red glint appeared in Sangbo's eyes as he walked towards the two of them. The scene then shifted to a little girl.

[Sambo: I knew it was you! Don't use my image, I don't want to take the blame.]

[Jingyuan: So it was the Masked Fool who did this.]

[Fireworks: Ugh, spoilers are no fun!]

He raised his finger and touched Xing's forehead, and the two of them collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Please take a nap in your true dream."

[Saying anything about jade will only hurt your brother, I'm going to get some ice cream!]

[Pera: Why did I understand so instantly?]

[Hanabi:...]

Am I too naive, or has the world gone mad?

[Zhongli: This must be an illusion!]

When Xing woke up again, she looked around and found herself in a scene that resembled the one when she first entered the dream.

Upon hearing the message, Shengxing took out her phone to reply to Himeko, but the message failed to send!

I can't get in touch with them.

Searching for clues in the room, I vaguely heard voices, somewhat like Misha's voice, and white words were floating in the air.

Mikhail, where have you been?

"It's so quiet, only the ticking of the clock can be heard."

[Huo Huo: What a gloomy place! The pioneers were so brave.]

Wendy: The voice sounds a bit like Misha's; it might be related to him.

[Star: Hehe, there's nothing I'm afraid of.]

Upon opening the door and entering the hallway, I saw Firefly standing next to a dead monster.

Hearing the voice, Liu Ying turned around and saw that it was Xing, which reassured her.

"Star! You really are here..."

“Are we already dead?” Xing asked.

"I have no idea."

"In any case, we must still be in a dream, not somewhere else. It can't be reality. There's a unique tactile quality in the air. I can't be wrong."

[The fireflies are so calm!]

[Ring: She definitely has some strength; didn't you see there's a monster lying on the ground?]

Liu Ying felt that this was not a beautiful dream, but more like a dream bubble.

"No, before we lost consciousness, which of your friends said this was a real dream?"

Xing shook her head, indicating that he was not her friend.

Liu Ying felt a little guilty.

"I should have suspected him sooner... I'm sorry, in any case, the family must be hiding something, the truth about the dreams..."

[The firefly cares so much about the stars, she kept apologizing the whole way...]

[Family? Come out and give us an explanation.]

[Gold Sand: @Sunday, where is Pinocchio's most handsome guy?]

"You noticed when you woke up, didn't you? Clocks all around and the ticking sound... My intuition tells me that the secret hidden here is related to that mysterious clockmaker."

[Could it be an inheritance? Take a closer look quickly.]

"If it points to the legacy of watchmakers, then it is relevant to everyone currently living in the Pinocchio dream..."

“Let’s go, Xing… Whether it’s to find out the truth or to leave this place, we have to set off.”

Following the fireflies, we began to explore our surroundings, with white writing appearing from time to time along the way.

"I understand... you want to play hide-and-seek, right?"

"Have you hidden it?"

I'm coming to find you.

After activating the mechanism, the room's gravity was altered, allowing one to walk along the walls.

"Mikhail...where have you hidden?"

“Mikhail…”

[Ring: Mikhail, he must be the watchmaker.]

[Jing Yuan: Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will also be one of the pioneers from back then.]

[Himeko: It's a pity I don't know her real name?]

【This is making my head spin!】

"Where...where...where..."

[Hu Tao: Guess what I found? These doors are shaped like Misha's pupils.]

[Fou: Could this be Misha's memory?]

"Mikhail, I've found you!"

A cheerful sound reached their ears, and Xing and Liuying saw the exit and prepared to go there.

"Is there something you want to say to me?"

What is this trying to tell us? Is it just some kind of wording about playing hide-and-seek?

"Wow! So beautiful."
