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

[Bell: Judging from Huang Quan's words, she knows Sam.]

Wendy: A slave to fate, a traveler on a doomed journey, who knows the script for the future...

[Nicole: If I could see the future, wouldn't that be incredibly profitable! If I could, Rabbit House would never have to worry about money again.]

Zhongli: The outcome is certain, but the way one achieves that outcome can be chosen.

[How can we lose? Is there some kind of cheat? Wouldn't the Star Core Hunter be invincible?]

[Screw Gum: As slaves to fate, they care nothing about things unrelated to the script.]

After being asked the question several times, Sam thought it was his turn to ask.

"But you seem unaware, so it's my turn to ask: Who exactly are you?"

"Perhaps not your enemy."

"The answer is not what was asked."

Huang Quan, who had been standing there for a while, took two steps to the side.

“I’m not worth your curiosity. Lone galaxies always have secrets. I’ve been wanted by the company before, so it’s not surprising that I know something about Star Core Hunters… but that’s all.”

"Maybe I can help you."

Chapter 33 The Person Who Cannot Wake Up or Sleep

Sam certainly couldn't believe it based on just one sentence.

What is your reason for doing this?

Huang Quan casually spoke, one hand on his hip.

“I often forget things, so I’m more used to capturing things through feelings than through memories. That’s why I know who’s inside that cold armor.”

[Fireworks: I can't wait! Is it a star?!]

[Star: Yeah, why else would you, you fool, ask me? I don't want you to make fun of me.]

[Ring: Why don't you just say it, riddle master!]

[Walter: I wonder if, given our connection to Star Core Hunter Sam, I could borrow his mech to play with.]

[March 7th: Uncle Yang, that's a Star Core Hunter!]

[Walter: It seems Danheng has some connection with Ren, is that true...?]

[Danheng: No way!]

[Blade: Danheng, you can't escape.]

[Hu Tao: Guest, do you think there might be a cute girl like me inside the mecha?]

"So, are you willing to take off your armor and talk?"

Although surprised that his guess was correct, Sam was still reluctant to take off his armor.

"It's not the right time yet."

"I don't need help, but I can give you a suggestion that will be better for both of us."

The camera zooms out, and the two look at each other.

"If your goal is the watchmaker's legacy, investigate the family. They not only concealed the existence of death, but also buried the past and truth of the dreams."

“I’m already doing that.”

"—And, the Star Train is not your enemy."

[Kaeya: The Star Core Hunter seems quite concerned about the train.]

[Black Tower: It's more accurate to say I'm concerned about Xing, after all, @Kafka is practically Xing's 'mother']

[Kafka: Hmm~, Starbaby, be a good boy/girl.]

[Star: Mom, I miss you.]

"I know that... but I never expected to hear it from you. Xing has been taken away, are you still going to look for her?"

Sam shook his head.

"There's no need for that. I might as well tell you. Elio only gave me one instruction—to have the Star Train chase after the grand legacy."

[Nicole: What exactly is this inheritance? It's all just because the inheritance must be very valuable!]

[Datalia: Perhaps it's a kind of power.]

[Ying: That sounds so tempting! I'm about to throw up from searching for treasure chests in Fontainebleau.]

Paimon: Traveler, there's a magnificent treasure chest over there.

[Ying: Coming right now...]

[Billy: I also want the treasure chest inheritance, so I can buy Star Knight and Monica's...]

"Before we part, may I ask you one more question?" Huang Quan asked Sam with a hint of anticipation.

"Is there any part about me in your script? I'd like to know what kind of footnote I leave in the future foreseeable by fate?"

"Unfortunately, not a word was mentioned."

[Black Tower: The self-destructors of nothingness will only move closer and closer to nothingness, leaving traces behind. Perhaps they will forget you in the future, but who knows now? This video will forever record the traces of the Yellow Springs.]

“Not surprising.”

Huang Quan was already used to this outcome and turned to leave.

Seeing that Huang Quan was about to leave, Sam spoke up and gave an answer.

"Wait... I don't know how."

"Your initial question—whether you still dream about those who died because of you."

"I won't. I never will."

“I was born without the ability to dream. I live for cold reality, for a glimmer of light, burning… burning and burning until I turn to ashes.”

"So, I envy you."

[Rin: Ah! Why? He's not a robot, and you have to enter a dream to get in here, right?]

[Doctor Truth: Grammer Riders, weapons created to exterminate the Zerg, warriors capable of being cloned in an assembly line fashion.]

[Zhongli: It was actually created as a weapon; how terrifying must the insect plague be?]

"Is it……"

"Then you are already living in a conscious world."

Those who are unable to wake up and those who are unable to sleep...

[Gold Sand: In this world of clarity, it seems a journey to the underworld is necessary.]

We've come to this side of the star.

All four people on the train had arrived at the statue and gathered there.

March 7th was the first to speak.

"We've already heard about Miss Firefly from the Black Swan... but we never expected that even Miss Robin would..."

"I'm sorry... I couldn't be by your side then," Himeko said with concern.

Walter said that now is not the time to be depressed, and we should do what we can, such as catching the murderer.

The group exchanged information, and Himeko and Welt analyzed the current situation.

Ultimately, they decided to cooperate with both the family and the company, creating a system of checks and balances and mutual distrust, in order to uncover the truth.

On March 7th, after being bullied several times, Xing couldn't stand it anymore and started complaining.

Xing felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched March 7th stand up for her.

"It's okay, go ahead and bully me!"

"You..." March 7th was speechless after hearing Xing's words.

[Qingque: It still has to be March 7th, hurry up and show some love and care to Xingbao.]

[Kelin: Miss March 7th is feeling sorry for Xing, isn't she?]

[Rin: Hoshino, are you suddenly showing your masochistic tendencies?]

[Star: It's not my fault. You know me. Whenever I have to make a choice, some magical force makes the decision for me.]

[March 7th: Star! He's such a worry!]

"No, I can't accept that kind of reason!"

"Forget it, I'll keep a close eye on him! If all else fails, we can just use him against him."

[Xingqiu: That's right, how can she be bullied all the time? I love March 7th's personality.]

[Gold Sand: Miss March, please show mercy!]

[March 7th: Hmph, this girl is worth two men! Watch me avenge you!]

[Star: March, you're so kind.]

Now that the decision had been made, Himeko had Hoshi reply to Sand Gold, agreeing to the cooperation.

As soon as Xing sent the message, Sand Gold responded, sending another 10 credits as a gift to celebrate the successful collaboration and bring good luck.

Seeing the money already in hand, Xing was naturally happy to take advantage of the free money.

"The boss is so generous, thank you so much!"

Since that's the case, we certainly can't let our friends suffer losses when it comes to placer gold.

Another 10 will be issued.

"May your work commence smoothly and auspiciously."

[Nicole: ??? This money comes so easily, why can't I ever find it?!]

[Zhongli: Young Master, would you be so kind as to visit Liyue? I can show you around and show you the local customs and culture.]

[Young Master: I'm busy right now, let's talk about it later. Anyway, it's not costing me any money.]

Pantalone (the wealthy man): ...

[Blue Sparrow: If my boss were gold dust...]

Fu Xuan: Qing Que, you're slacking off again!

He gave too much.

It was clear that Sand Gold was very satisfied with the collaboration, so Star discussed the results with the others.

Hearing Himeko's long analysis of the stars made my head spin, and I unconsciously scratched my head.

When they arrived at Walter's place, they asked Xing what kind of person Huang Quan was. After thinking for a moment, Xing's mind went blank, as if she couldn't remember him.

She came here on March 7th and was standing at the bridgehead looking towards the Sky Theater.

"I don't know if it's too sudden, but I always feel... Miss Robin isn't dead, she's still alive and well somewhere. It was all just... a prank..."

"Because... isn't this a dream? How could someone die in Dreamland? Shouldn't only good things happen...?"

[Bell: March, you're probably not a prophet. Do you remember what you said when you came to Pinocchio?]

[March 7th: No way! Coincidences are just coincidences. After all, this is a land of dreams, nothing is surprising.]

[Black Swan: March 7th is a special day, hmm.]

[Silver Wolf: I'll call you Little Eriol!]

[Eriol: Shall I leave?]

"Sigh, seeing that grand theater makes me start having all sorts of wild thoughts..."

Xing spoke up from the side.

Are you doubting the family?

March 7th quickly denied it, feeling that he couldn't quite understand them.
