I'm in debt at Bengtie

"Isn't this right here?"

However, Sha Jin shook his head.

"Professor, you did guess my plan, but this is only the surface of my plan. The real plan is not like this."

"Ok?"

Latio frowned again, looking at the emerald green stone in his hand, and soon he understood.

"This isn't your cornerstone, this is Emerald's cornerstone!"

Even though he had never seen emerald stone, Latio could guess what this emerald green stone that looked like aventurine was. Especially since he was familiar with the ten Stone Hearts and knew who had a better relationship with aventurine, he could quickly guess who the stone belonged to.

"Emerald actually lent you the cornerstone as well."

"So what's your cornerstone?"

Latio looked at Gold Dust, whose face was full of helplessness.

"My cornerstone was also placed in this gift bag, but now it's gone."

"What do you mean?"

Latio was a little confused.

"You put the two cornerstones in the gift bag, but the family took your aventurine with precision?"

"That's the situation, and it's even more exaggerated than you can imagine, Professor."

Helpless, Sha Jin could only confess his plan.

"I broke my aventurine before I even entered Pinocchio."

"smash?"

Latio was puzzled again, but soon he guessed Shajin's plan.

"You smashed the cornerstone and mixed it among the jewels. To cover it up, you even placed the Emerald Cornerstone in there as bait. This was the second layer of bait. The first layer of bait was Topal's cornerstone in the cornerstone box. This way, if the family seized Topal's cornerstone, you could get the gift bag back. If the family searched the gift bag more rigorously, they would only take the Emerald Cornerstone, and you would get your cornerstone along with the ordinary jewels, right?"

"As expected of a professor, you figured out my complete plan based on just a few words from me."

Sha Jin clapped his hands in support.

"These are the three chips I prepared for this trip to Pinocchio."

"Three chips, three cornerstones, it's really a big deal."

"That's right. According to my previous plan, these three chips are enough. Everything... or nothing!"

As a destiny traveler, and one of the Ten Stone Hearts, power is Sha Jin's biggest bargaining chip. In this universe, it is useless for a person without power to speak nicely, because there will be many people who will help you restart your life regardless of your identity. Therefore, these three chips are enough for Sha Jin. Two of them are baits, and the real killer is his Aventurine Stone.

"It's a pity that you look even more like you have nothing now."

Latio crossed his arms and looked at Gold Sand with a sneer.

"Gambler, you lose this time!"

"Indeed, I did lose this chip."

Sha Jin did not refute and admitted it directly.

"The two chips that were originally used as bait didn't work, and instead we lost the most important chip."

It’s a headache. Gold sand is really giving me a headache now.

"Once I lose my power, it will be very difficult to do something next time."

"So, what are you going to do next? You only have seventeen hours."

"How about going straight to Sunday and confessing that you can't help?"

Gold Sand said to Latio with a smile.

"Then you will die miserably."

"Huh? What do you say?"

I don't know much about Tongxie's gold sand and I'm a little confused.

"You don't understand Tongxie. Based on my understanding of Tongxie, Sunday must have used Tongxie to bind you. The seventeen hours Sunday gave you are actually your last seventeen hours."

"What? After seventeen hours, I'm going to die?"

Gold Dust's eyes widened.

But Latio's answer made him even more horrified.

"That's not the case. According to my understanding of the family, in seventeen hours, you will be covered by the power of harmony and become a member of the family. A capable person like you will probably be accepted into the Oak family lineage by Sunday."

"Brainwashing and control!?"

"In terms of harmonics, this is called a tuned dissonant sound."

"It would be better for me to die!"

Sha Jin couldn't help but complain.

"Is the power of harmony so terrifying?"

"Humph, you've never seen Tongxie, so it's normal that you don't understand. Tongxie is just like that. Why do you think they act in a group? They didn't have so many people at the beginning. They're a family that has developed one by one!"

Latio crossed his arms and stared at the gold dust.

"How do you plan to break the deadlock in these last seventeen hours of your life?"

Sha Jin lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"There's nothing I can do. At this point, I can only place my hopes on my new friends."

"The unknown passenger on the Star Train?"

"Yes, Topa was even willing to lend him his name. I believe he must be of extraordinary value!"

161

Chapter 161 The management of the family is a bit abstract.

When Sha Jin was facing a dead end, the person he placed his hopes on was meeting the robins with Liu Ying at Liu Meng Jiao.

"Miss Mockingbird, nice to see you again."

"You are... Mr. Qiong? You are here too?"

At Liumeng Reef, Misha brought Qiong and Liuying to find the robin, and then they had a very unique meeting.

The sky was gray, the street lights were dim, Qiong and Firefly faced the robin, and next to the robin was Gallagher.

"Why are you here too?"

Like the robin, Gallagher was also very curious about the arrival of Dome and Firefly.

He knew the identity of Qiong Wumingke and was prepared to let him come over, but not now. It would be too early for him to come.

"Mianmian brought me here."

"Mianmian..."

Qiong's answer made Gallaher very helpless. It was true that he was the one who took care of Mianmian. Normally speaking, Mianmian was his pet, but Mianmian usually acted on his own, and he couldn't completely control and command him, so Mianmian would occasionally bring some people back.

But unexpectedly, this time, the nameless guest was brought back first.

He still needs time. He doesn't want his identity to be revealed so early and then disappear.

As a fictional historian, his identity is fictional. Once the truth is exposed, he will disappear shortly after the exposure. If it is exposed too early, his subsequent plans will not be able to be carried out.

"I'm sorry, Mianmian brought you here by accident."

"It's okay. We weren't hurt at all, were we? Not only were we not hurt, we even had a very novel experience. What a fun thing."

Qiong looked nonchalant, and what she said made Gallagher speechless.

He actually said that being sent by Mimi was a novel experience. Although he was not at the scene, he knew how Mimi sent people. For someone who didn't know Mimi's situation and was experiencing it for the first time, it didn't seem like a good experience.

"It's great that you can feel happy."

Gallagher was not in a hurry to tell Qiong about Mikhail, the watchmaker. After all, only Qiong came here now, and the other people on the Star Train had not arrived yet, so he could not say it directly. It would be time for him to confess after all the people on the Star Train came.

"By the way, Gallagher, do we have to go through something like that to come here?"

After greeting the robin, Qiong turned her attention to Gallagher.

"That's how Mianmian sends people off."

"I think it's exciting and fun, but for others, it doesn't look like giving someone away, it looks more like killing someone. It looks very scary."

"I know. Miss Robin has probably been found dead in her sleep by now."

Gallagher looked at the robin.

"Me? Died in my sleep?"

"It's not a true death. He just disappeared in Pinocchio's dream. And because of his sleep, people will think he was killed in a beautiful dream."

Gallagher explained.

"That's impossible."

The dome opened its mouth to interrupt.

"Although the robin was seen in a beautiful dream and mistakenly believed to have been killed, in reality, if we want to know whether the robin has been killed, can't we just go to the robin's room in real life and see if we can wake it up?"

"Don't dream pools in real rooms have this kind of safety protection? They can be awakened from the outside world, or in dreams, when people feel they are in danger, they will be forcibly awakened to reality by the dream pool."

Sha Jin has already proved this by using himself as an experiment, so Qiong, who has played the game plot, naturally knows it as well.

"Now that you put it that way, it seems... that's true."

Gallagher looked at Qiong in surprise. He had never expected this situation to happen.

Except for those who enter dreams in some special ways, or exist in dreams in special forms, other people who enter dreams actually enter the dream through the dream pool terminal controlled by the family. As long as they enter the dream through the dream pool terminal, if they want to know whether a person is dead or not, they can just go to the dream pool and find out, right?

"So, the family didn't send anyone to check on Mockingbird's room in reality?"

"This... I'm not sure either."

Gallagher was also a little confused for a moment.

Mianmian transferred the robin from the beautiful dream created by Pinocchio to Liumeng Reef. She only transferred the robin in the dream, not the real robin. Wouldn't it be clear whether the robin is dead or not by checking?

If you say that the firefly was smuggled in, so we don't know where she entered the dream or how she entered the dream, so there is no way to check, then forget it. The robin is one of yours, so you should know where she is, right?

But the family didn't send anyone to investigate. I don't know if Brother Zhou Ri suddenly became stupid or if he deliberately didn't investigate. In short, it was very abstract.

In fact, even more abstract are those who live in Liumengjiao. These people who live in Liumengjiao are basically transferred from Pinocchio’s dream. Many of them are frustrated people, but no matter how frustrated they are, they entered the dream from Pinocchio’s hotel. The position in the dream has changed, but your room in reality will not change. After you pay the room fee, will the family really not send someone to knock on the door and ask?

Qiong couldn't really comment on how magical the setting of Pinocchio was, but the family's hotel management was indeed a bit abstract.

Especially the scientist whose name Qiong couldn't remember. He invented weapons of mass destruction. The company wanted to get the weapons, so he ran away and came to Pinocchio, where he was controlled by the family. He even died, and the family turned his memory into a dream bubble.

But that's what happened. The family did not choose to control each other in the dream, but chose to let each other bask in the sun on the rooftop of the dream. As a result, they were discovered by the players, and then exposed. In the end, Meng Bubble was taken away by Screw Gum.

"So can we go back to our sweet dreams from here?"

"Naturally."

Gallagher raised his hand, and Mianmian appeared directly behind him.

"If you want to go back, just let Mian Mian take you there."

Mianmian's huge body is covered with eyes and sharp blades, which looks very scary.

"It's hard to imagine that this scary-looking thing is actually a bus..."

When Liuying saw Mianmian again, she couldn't recognize her and sighed.

"Miss Mockingbird, do you want to go back to your sweet dreams?"

Qiong looked at the robin next to him.

"No, I can't go back to my sweet dream yet. I want to learn more about Liumeng Reef here."

"In that case, let's go back first."

Qiong pointed at Mianmian next to her.
