People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

Unexpectedly, Xing gasped when he saw this, and covered his head with his hands, muttering to himself, not without doubt:

"A talking clock? I must be crazy... or is this some kind of clock-shaped Dream Theater?"

"Why did you stop suddenly...what the hell is this?"

At this moment, Yue Yan, who saw her suddenly stop, also looked over in confusion, and then saw the Clock Boy standing on the ground. After a moment of hesitation, he said:

"Mickey Mouse... Clock Boy?"

Clock Kid was even happier when he saw this:

“Tick-tock!! Finally someone recognizes me! You can see me too, right?

"Two kind people, can you help me? Misha is over there and he is in danger!"

As he spoke, his expression became somewhat depressed - so depressed that even his clock-like head became bent, with all of its squiggly black lines.

"Misha..."

This familiar name made Xing fall into thought: "I think I know him..."

"Are you two... talking to someone?"

At this moment, Liuying also walked over to the two of them and asked in confusion: "Why did you stop suddenly?"

"We are talking to a clock... Can't you see it?"

Xing stretched out two hands and gestured:

"A two-headed anime character with a clock head, wearing overalls and a blue hat... Oh, and it also said its name is Clock Kid."

"Huh? Clock Boy?"

Upon hearing this, Liuying was stunned. Although she wasn't a true Pinocchio, she really loved the Clockwork Teddy cartoon and had been following every episode...

However, she rubbed her eyes and looked carefully for a long time, but she couldn't find the anime character that Xing mentioned. She couldn't help but feel a little confused:

"Strange, why can't I see..."

At this moment, the Clock Kid spoke—it put its hands on its hips and said:

"Tick-tock! I guess only children who are innocent, straightforward, and childlike enough can see me!"

"Emmmm..."

Xing turned to Firefly and repeated, "It said you're not innocent enough, straightforward, and childish enough, so you can't see it."

"Eh?! Where is my childishness gone...?"

"Don't worry, that's probably not the reason."

At this moment, Yue Yan spoke in a soothing tone: "Otherwise, there's no way to explain why I can see it. It must be something else that makes us the only ones who notice this guy's existence."

As a restaurant owner who graduated from university a long time ago and has worked in society for many years...she gets up early and goes to bed late every day and thinks that she has lost her original childlike innocence.

Maybe a little bit is left, but probably not much.

In fact, the reason why she and Xing could see the Clock Boy was not because of any childish innocence, but simply because they were unknown passengers on the train. As a meme in the dream bubble left by the watchmaker, the Clock Boy in Pinocchio's story was to be seen by them, because it was left for the train.

"Anyway, let's not worry about that for now... Misha is in danger! Kind people, please help us!"

Clock Kid clasped his hands together and said, "Please, please! You're the only ones who can help me now!"

Xing Xiangying told Liuying about the request from this strange clock boy. As an understanding girl, although she couldn't see the anime character, she still said that she could put her own affairs aside for the time being:

"There's no rush for that matter. If you want, you can go help this... the clock boy that only you can see."

"Great!"

Hearing this, the Clock Boy jumped three meters high with joy - this is not an exaggeration, he really jumped three meters high... and after landing, he turned his two legs directly into electric fans, rushed out at a rapid speed, raising a cloud of dust.

"Come on, friends, over here!"

Such an abstract way of running... can only be said to be worthy of the identity of the protagonist of the other party's rubber tube animation.

It gives me a feeling of Gear Fifth Luffy or The Mask, or the classic cartoon - Tom and Jerry, where the two protagonists, Tom and Jerry, often appear in this kind of scene.

……

After following it through several streets, everyone saw Huang Quan surrounded by dozens of black men wearing sunglasses on the side of the road, and the blue-haired boy named Misha who claimed to be the doorman of the Daydream Hotel.

Clock Kid said anxiously:

"Tick-tock! See, I was right, Misha is really in danger!"

Xing was simply puzzled by this. Were these guys so brave? They even dared to block the Sea Patrol Ranger. You know, these ruthless people were all ruthless killers. Compared to them, the loving father seemed amiable.

This immortal centenarian eats arsenic - is he too old to live?

"Miss Huang Quan...why is she here too?"

"I don't know, it seems like I'm in trouble..."

Yue Yan shook her head, walked forward, pushed aside the group of men in black, and found a strong man in black who seemed to be the leader - this man was strong and muscular, with a broad back and strong waist, eight feet tall, eight feet around the waist, and eight feet around the arms! (This is an exaggeration)

There is a long scar on his face that is exactly the same as the one on the most dangerous man in Europe, "Otto Skorzeny". You can tell at a glance that he is a gangster.

She poked the man on the back and asked:

"Hey, brother, what are you guys doing surrounding a girl in broad daylight? It's a bit of a bully."

"Who the hell are you?"

Unexpectedly, the leader was quite arrogant. He turned around and glanced at Yue Yan - she looked weak and kind, and seemed easy to bully. He didn't care and replied:

"This woman is always looking for trouble. If she doesn't give us a reason today, you can't leave here. And you, stay out of my business and go where it's cool!"

Chapter 226: Miss Yue Yan’s kindness.

Seeing his gang member being bullied, Xing got anxious immediately and almost subconsciously took out his weapon and rushed forward to teach the gang leader the 108 uses of a baseball bat through physical means.

However, he was stopped by the anxious Clock Boy the next second, who said, "No fighting, no fighting~... Violence is bad, we need to find another way to solve this problem."

It said that it was going to let Xing learn the "clock trick". According to it, this is a wonderful magic that can make the good mood in dreams flow back into people's hearts, which can be used to ease the current contradictions.

Then it began to teach seriously, as if it really wanted to use the clock trick to fight against those gang members...

So, Liuying just watched Xing squatting on the ground, communicating seriously with a being he couldn't see, and then looked at Yue Yan who was negotiating with the gang over there.

I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say, so I opened my mouth several times, but closed it again before a word came out. In the end, I could only wait silently.

It wasn't until about ten minutes later that Xing learned the so-called "clock trick."

Clock Kid put his hands on his hips and said excitedly, "Alright, now you've officially learned the clock trick. Go use it on that gang leader and bring some good cheer back to him!"

"Okay! Watch me!"

Xing stood up and turned around to use his newly acquired skills to help Misha, Miss Huang Quan, and Yue Yan out of trouble, but he suddenly discovered that the dozens of arrogant men in black had disappeared without a trace, while Yue Yan was chatting with Huang Quan and Misha.

Now it was her turn to be dumbfounded.

"Ah? Where are the people?"

"Um... I actually wanted to tell you just now, but you seemed to be doing something important, so I didn't disturb you."

Liuying, standing nearby, said timidly, "Just now, after Yue Yan failed to negotiate with the gang leader, he apparently took out his phone and called the police. Moments later, several police cars arrived, and a bunch of hounds got out... Those in black were taken to the cars and taken away."

When you encounter danger, call the police - this is the right solution.

"Emmmm..."

Looking at the two people who were now safe and sound, Xing and the Clock Boy, who had just learned the clock trick, stared at each other and fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, the result was good. Although it was a little different from the expected solution, the two people were safe at least - solving the problem does not necessarily require using clock tricks.

……

"Misha!"

After the crisis was resolved, Clock Boy rushed over and hugged Misha - the way he hugged others was as exaggerated as ever, with his two arms each stretching out about 10 meters and tightly tied to Misha. After the hug, they suddenly dispersed and returned to normal.

Yue Yan was talking to Huang Quan - this third encounter happened much faster than they expected.

However, when the buffing effect of the food disappeared, the faint smile on Huang Quan's face after the meal also disappeared, and he returned to an expressionless state.

The girl noticed this keenly, and out of kindness, she asked:

"How was the ice cream before? It should be pretty good.

I still have a lot, if you need, I can get you a few more ice creams - they are packed in disposable boxes, which will be very convenient when eating. Although the presentation is missing, the appearance is a little worse, but the taste and effect are still the same. "

Faced with the other party's kindness, Huang Quan wanted to refuse - taste is quite a luxury for a self-destructor who has long lost most of her sense of taste... Although she really likes the happiness that those dishes can bring her.

But she didn't want to get addicted. As a person who was tainted with too much gray, she couldn't always follow Yue Yan. If she got used to the food, wouldn't she only be able to eat those bland and ordinary foods after she left?

Although it's not particularly painful, there are still some regrets...

Yue Yan seemed to have noticed Huang Quan's concerns, so she thoughtfully took out three restaurant pass cookies from her pocket and handed them to her:

"Take this... This is a pass to the dream world. Eat one before going to bed, or eat one directly in Pinocchio's dream, and you can return to that restaurant.

But remember to send me a message before eating, otherwise I might not be there or busy doing other things."

"..."

Huang Quan was silent for a while, then she asked with some doubt:

"You... why are you so nice to me? I just met you by chance, and I've never done you any favors. I even owe you a favor.

Why are you going to such great lengths to help me?"

It was completely normal for Huang Quan to have such doubts - she and Yue Yan were only acquaintances who had met a few times, so why should he be so nice to her?

Even the helpful Nameless Guest wouldn't be so eager to help a Ranger whom she had just met for a few days - of course she couldn't know that the other party had read the script in advance.

Yue Yan's answer to this seemed a little vague.

"Well, well... maybe it's because you look a lot like an old friend of mine, which is why I naturally have a soft spot for you."

The girl smiled and put the cookie into her hand before she could refuse.

"Also, I have a feeling... that you'll do me a big favor in the future. These foods aren't expensive, so consider it my thank you gift for your future."

"A thank you gift from the future?"

Huang Quan thought for a moment, then hesitantly put the cookies away and nodded slightly:

"Thank you, if you need anything... contact me, I'll do my best."

……

Huang Quan left, Misha and Clock Boy also left together, and the remaining three prepared to continue to the "secret base" mentioned by Liuying, where they would listen to each other tell their secrets.

To be honest, this is really a nostalgic word... It reminds Yue Yan of the "secret base" she set up with a bunch of naughty kids of the same age when she was a child.

but……

"Before that, I have one more thing to do. Don't worry, it will be quick and won't delay anything."

She looked through her system backpack - after giving Huang Quan three dollars, there were only five dollars left for the restaurant pass, which was a bit insufficient. She planned to make some more before heading to the secret base, as there would definitely be a great demand for this thing later.

The only special material needed to make this cookie is solid memristor, which the light cone is made of.

It just so happened that she had never had time to use the light cone that she had discarded before, so it was perfect to make cookies with it.

227

Chapter 227 Star & Firefly:/(//o/ω/o//)/

Of course, it doesn't take much time to bake a batch of cookies, and the method of making restaurant passes is exactly the same as that of ordinary cookies... Yue Yan can even use her own creativity and slightly change the recipe to make different flavors such as sweet and salty.

As for the pattern on the dream passport... in addition to the iconic tongue with a big mouth, she also made some small improvements on her own, using a fine knife to draw Pam's headshot, train head and other patterns on it.

Each piece is handmade and unique - as an excellent chef, it is normal for him to have some knowledge of art.

Looking at the basket of steaming cookies in front of her, the girl nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, this should solve the problem for the time being."

……

After making the cookies, she returned to the golden hour and followed Firefly with Xing to ride the pinball machine again and arrived at a cafe that could not be reached by normal routes.
