I'm in debt at Bengtie

Page 92

When I opened my eyes, I saw a place that looked like an abandoned station. The dark environment, coupled with the messy surroundings, looked very eerie.

"Liuying, are you okay?"

Qiong was even holding Liuying in his arms. They died together in each other's arms, and then came here together in each other's arms.

"We... are not dead?"

Liuying looked at the surrounding environment with curiosity.

"Yeah, we're not dead."

Qiong also looked around, at this place that looked like an abandoned subway station.

"Not only did he not die, but he seemed to have come to some extraordinary place."

"Um...I'm glad I didn't die, but could you please let me go first?"

Liuying saw that Qiong was hugging her while talking and had no intention of letting go, so she could only speak with a blushing face.

"I'm sorry, I was too anxious before. I was worried that you would be attacked by that guy, so I..."

As Qiong explained, he let go of Liuying, and Liuying didn't care at all, and was even a little happy.

"It's okay, I understand. In such a dangerous situation, you actually rushed forward to protect me. I'm very happy."

"That's good, but we're pretty lucky. After that monster attacked us, we didn't die and ended up in a new place."

Qiong turned around and looked behind him. In the middle of this dark subway station, there was a passage leading to the outside.

"Although I don't know what that monster is, since we're already here, let's explore it first, at least to figure out where this place is."

"Okay, I listen to you."

The plot was still completely different from the script, but Liuying didn't mind at all. She smiled and nodded, ready to do as Qiong said.

"Let's go."

Qiong took Liuying's hand without any hesitation and walked into the alley. Liuying was holding Qiong's hand, but this time she didn't say anything about letting go. Instead, she blushed and lowered her head, letting Qiong hold her hand like that.

The alley is very dark and narrow. Three people walking side by side would feel crowded, but it is okay if two people walk side by side.

The alley was dark at the beginning, but then gradually began to have some lights. These lights were all neon lights of various signs and trademarks. Above the alley, there were all kinds of randomly pulled electric wires, and the walls on both sides were covered with various graffiti. It looked like the style of the slum alleys in American movies in Qiong's impression. Combined with the various dazzling lights in the alley shots, it created a cyberpunk feeling.

Along the way, they also saw several other people standing in the alleys further away, but each of them was sighing.

Liuying was led by Qiong and spoke softly as they walked.

"It feels so strange here, full of darkness."

“Maybe it’s because there are fewer street lights.”

Qiong pointed at the wall next to him with his free left hand, motioning Liuying to look up.

"There's not a single streetlight along this road, only neon signs on the side of the road. It's obvious that the infrastructure here is very poor!"

"Infrastructure?"

Liuying didn't quite understand.

"To put it simply, when this dreamland was being forged, the dream builder was lazy and simply didn't do his job properly."

Every bit of Pinocchio was built by the family's dream builder using memory. In order to provide good service, Pinocchio's buildings are well built, at least in terms of public services. There are street lights and signs everywhere. Even the construction sites that are still under construction at the border of dreams are very bright because they are close to the edge of dreams and can see the dawn sun.

And this place is like a dark corner in the basement.

Qiong naturally knew what this place was called. The name Liumengjiao was very simple and direct. On the surface, the managers here said that this was a free place, but in fact it was a place of exile. After all, there was nothing here, only a group of frustrated people entertaining themselves here.

And there is no dream builder here to help expand again. At least Pinocchio still has dream builders to continue expanding, but here, there is only this place.

Walking all the way to the end of the alley, Qiong and Liuying found themselves at a dead end.

"It seems to be the end."

Liuying looked at the surrounding buildings that were much taller than where they were and shook her head slightly.

"No, this is where it starts."

Qiong pointed to the elevator next to him.

"Come on, let's get in the elevator."

Pulling Liuying, Qiong directly opened the elevator door, and the two entered the elevator together. The elevator was very intelligent. After sensing someone entering, it immediately started by itself and rose upwards.

Soon, they were taken to the upper level by the elevator. Compared to the alleys and the station below, the view here was suddenly much wider, and even the light became brighter. Although it was still relatively dim, at least there were street lights!

When the two walked out of the elevator, they met someone that Qiong knew.

"Hmm? It's the previous guest. We meet again."

Misha, the hotel doorman, looked at Qiong with a smile on his face.

Chapter 156 The hanging black swan.

"Misha? Why are you here?"

"I should be asking the guests this question. Shouldn't they be upstairs during their golden hour? Why are they here?"

Misha, the doorman at the Daydream Hotel, asked Qiong with curiosity.

"I got here by accident. And the Clock Boy is here too. Oh, and this is Firefly."

"Hello, I'm Liuying."

"Welcome, guest."

Next to Misha, there is a mini figure with a clock face standing on the ground. That is Pinocchio's super mascot, Clock Boy. It is also Clock Boy who gave Qiong the ability to perform clock tricks.

"Tick-tock, old friends and new friends, come and give each other a high five."

Clock Kid also jumped up and greeted Qiong and Liuying.

Here, Firefly can see Clock Kid.

"By the way, do you know this special...person...?"

Liuying asked Qiong beside her. It seemed that this was the first time she saw such a special existence as the Clock Boy, and she couldn't help but be curious.

"You should have met this Misha before. He's the doorman at the Daydream Hotel. He was the guide for me when I first entered a dream."

"As for the clock kid next to him, I do know him, but to be honest I'm not very clear about his identity, but he is also my friend."

"I see, this is the invisible friend you told me about during the golden hour?"

"Yes, that's what I told you at that time, your invisible friend. At that time, Misha could also see the Clock Kid, but only Misha and I could see it."

"So this is ah."

After Qiong finished explaining to Liuying, she looked at Misha again.

"Misha, how did you get here?"

"Our home is here, this is where we usually live."

"A place to live? Does the family let the hotel's customer service staff live in this kind of place?"

Qiong pretended not to know and looked curious.

"The family's treatment of the hotel's customer service staff is too poor."

"Well, that's not the case. This wasn't arranged by the family. We've been living here since the beginning."

Misha hurried to explain.

"Also, this dreamland isn't open to the public. Normally, we're the only ones living here. Later, some guests came in, but basically, no outsiders enter. Speaking of which, you said the guests came in accidentally. Normally, without help, even by accident, they wouldn't be able to enter here. They must have woken up directly from reality. Could it be that Mian Mian brought you two here?"

"Mianmian?"

Liuying was a little confused.

"Yes, I will go home after finishing my work in Meimeng. Transportation was quite convenient before, but since I can no longer travel freely, I have been relying on Mianmian to take me back and forth between the two dreams. I think Mianmian must have brought you two here."

Misha's explanation gave Liuying some guesses.

"Mianmian... Can you describe what Mianmian looks like?"

"Mianmian is a memory domain meme. She looks fierce and has many big eyes."

Misha introduced with a smile on her face, but Liuying's eyes widened.

"Don't be fooled by its fierce appearance. It's actually very obedient. It's always been Gallagher who has been taking care of Mianmian."

"Well, if that's the case, then we were indeed sent in by Mianmian."

It was obvious from the look of it that this guy was the one who stabbed Liuying and Qiong through.

“I didn’t expect it to be what the family calls ‘death’.”

Liuying suddenly realized.

"Although the family has always emphasized that dreams are absolutely safe and no guest will die, rumors of death have always circulated in dreams, like urban legends. And the "Mianmian" that Misha mentioned may have been seen by others, and it has become a legendary nightmare that can bring real death to people in dreams."

"Death? How can there be death in dreams? Mianmian is quite fierce and sometimes mistakenly brings back innocent passengers, but it will never harm anyone."

Misha immediately defended Mianmian.

Qiong also gave his evaluation with a smile.

"But what they see as a nightmare is actually a high-speed bus here, responsible for transporting people from one dream to another, and then picking them up from another dream back to this dream."

"Bus, that's an interesting name."

Liuying couldn't help laughing.

"Speaking of which."

Qiong looked at Misha.

"Have there been any new guests here recently? In other words, has Mianmian brought anyone new here, in the past day or few hours?"

"Within the last few hours?"

Misha raised her hand and scratched her hair.

"There is indeed a visitor, and he was brought in by Mianmian."

"Do you know who it is?"

Qiong wanted a definite answer.

"It's Miss Robin of the Oak family."

Great, I got a definite answer.

"About when did you come here?"

"Just a few minutes ago."

Very good, it seems that the robin was brought here not long ago. That means that the robin was brought here, and Sha Jin should have discovered that the robin was killed.

According to the deal between Black Swan and Gold Dust, Gold Dust should be waiting for Black Swan to take him to meet him.

Unfortunately, Black Swan couldn't take him to see the gold dust, and even Black Swan himself was probably in danger now.

"Can you take us to see the robins?"

Qiong pulled the firefly.

"We are fans of Miss Mockingbird!"

"um, yes!"

Liuying understood Qiong's hint and nodded.

"No problem. Miss Robin should be receiving Gallagher now. She hasn't said she can't receive visitors, so I can take you to see her."

"That's really nice."

Qiong smiled and nodded.

"You two, please come with me."

Misha took Qiong and Firefly to look for the robin who had just arrived here.
