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

The aroma of roasted coffee beans lingered in the air. Star, looking at the luxuriously decorated but sparsely visited shop, chewed on the remaining marshmallow stick covered in solidified syrup and wondered:

"The secret base... is it a cafe?"

"No, it's not."

Liuying shook her head and took the two of them around a corner, arriving at a manhole cover on the left side of the cafe.

She pointed to the round manhole cover and said:

"Actually, it's here. The place I'm talking about can't be reached normally. You have to go through the sewers."

"Manhole cover..."

When seeing this thing, Yue Yan, a native of Nanhe Province, almost subconsciously recalled the unfriendly regional joke in his previous life - the Da*Tongbao or something like that.

She shook her head, getting rid of those things that had nothing to do with the present moment from her mind, then she bent down and lifted the manhole cover on the ground.

The dark wellhead appeared before my eyes, and a cold air carrying all kinds of Suleda fragrance floated out from it. It was freezing cold, just like an underground parking lot in summer, making people shiver subconsciously.

Xing frowned and asked:

"Are you sure we should go this way?"

"Ah."

Liuying nodded and comforted him:

"Don't worry, it's not dirty down there. There's no real garbage in Pinocchio... It doesn't rain during golden hours, and the sewers only exist as a 'special road'.

There are many places that can only be reached through the sewers... I don't know why, but it's really clean down there."

She was right. When several people turned on the lighting mode on their mobile phones and went down through the well one by one, there was no unfriendly odor coming from the sewers and drainage facilities below.

The place in the sewer where sewage should have flowed has become a "turbulent river of mixed carbonated drinks", which contains various flavors of Soledad, including original, refreshing, cherry, orange, etc.

A mixed fruit aroma emanated from it. Because it was located in a cool underground place, these drinks were all chilled and exuded a chilling air.

"Wow...this is all Suleda?"

Xingyi was completely shocked: "Can these be drunk?"

"Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it... Although these are clean, drinkable carbonated drinks, there's no guarantee someone won't throw something bad upstream."

Liuying shook her head. "It's said that a masked fool once gathered a large number of emotional entities, crushed them, and dumped them all into the uppermost sewer. As a result, a huge riot occurred during the golden hour that day.

Although the family later installed a filter device in the sewer to ensure that the drink will not be contaminated, I still don’t recommend you drink this..."

"Then forget it..."

Hearing this, Xing immediately gave up the idea of scooping it up and taking a sip.

……

As a drainage system covering the entire Golden Moment, the route of this sewer is intricate and complicated. Moreover, because the place they are going to is rather special, they cannot use navigation, so the two can only follow the fireflies and walk slowly.

After wandering around for more than half an hour, they finally came to a ventilation duct - this should be the exit.

After opening it, Liuying said:

"This is it. Just crawl up from here... Be careful, this place is narrow and you might get stuck."

"I'll go first."

Yue Yan volunteered, walked to the pipe, bent down, got in first, and began to crawl forward.

Her few memories of ventilation ducts came from prison escape games or movies, where the protagonists often escaped from prison by drilling through ventilation ducts.

Although she has seen many movies about this, she has never tried it herself because the kitchen ventilation ducts are always filled with grease and it is inevitable that she is curious.

However, Miss Yue Yan obviously did not realize one thing - that is, the pipe required one to bend over to get through, and it was in a Z shape, and she was wearing a skirt, not pants.

Therefore, when you bend down and crawl inside, some...

Well, you know, it’s not a very appropriate picture.

Although her skirt was not short, the place was a bit narrow, and her clothes would get caught occasionally. Therefore, Yue Yan gave out a wave of benefits without her knowledge, which feasted the eyes of the two people behind her (fog)

Star & Firefly:/（//o/ω/o//）/

However, whether it was to avoid embarrassing the other or for some other reason, they both tacitly agreed not to point out the matter. Instead, they waited until the other person crawled out of sight and followed one after another.

Fortunately, Yue Yan usually dressed rather simply—pure white with black stockings. Although she had bought more daring underwear before, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she kept it in the closet and never wore it...

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be as simple as just giving out some small benefits (fog)

……

After climbing out of the ventilation duct, the three of them arrived at a secluded place that was completely different from the one in the city...

It should still be golden hour here, but the surrounding area is full of unfinished buildings, which looks like a place under construction. It is not as lively as the city and you can hardly hear human voices.

It's so quiet it doesn't even feel like a dream.

Walk up, stand on a high place and look into the distance, you can also see the brightly lit city in the distance.

It is a very interesting place. If someone is tired of the noisy carnival night, coming here to find a quiet place is probably a very comfortable thing.

"This is an area under construction... Tourists are generally not allowed here. Although the family turns a blind eye to such things, you still have to be careful."

Firefly reminded:

"If caught by some serious hounds, they will still be taken back to the main city."

228

Chapter 228 Free a heart from sorrow.

This place is not deserted, just as Liuying said, you can occasionally see the family hounds in uniform patrolling here, or the dream version of the civil engineer brother who is planning construction problems - the dream builder.

Even in dreams, their hair is as sparse as ever - after all, stress has a direct impact on the body in reality.

In addition, there are other tourists who have arrived here through some abnormal means like them - it seems that they all come here to find a little peace and quiet.

However, they still haven't reached the "secret base" that Liuying mentioned.

"We have to go inside for a while, follow me."

The few of them gradually went deeper into the place, and Xing and Yueyan followed Liuying around in circles - since it was a construction area that had not been officially put into use, it was difficult to find a normal long road here.

Certain sections of the road require the use of dream builder's tools, such as the Dream Builder Remote Eye, in order to proceed normally.

It’s just that this thing is a bit difficult to use and has a great impact on people’s five senses. In addition, there are no guardrails on some sections of the road in the construction area, so you need to be careful when using it.

"Well……"

Although Liuying had warned him many times before using it, Xing still accidentally stepped on empty air when he was using the Dream Building Eye to carefully prepare to cross a bridge to reach another building.

"Ah!"

Her foot slipped and she fell straight down from the building. In an instant, the remote eye emergency protection measures were activated, forcing her to exit the third-person state and restore the distorted space -

If nothing unexpected happened, she would be taken away from the golden moment by the dream's protection mechanism a second before she touched the ground.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that the dream determined that this was not enough to pose a threat to her, and she fell to the ground and felt pain for a while.

Kirby's Cliff Fall Jpg.

"star!"

Liuying on the side shouted anxiously and almost subconsciously took out the Sam transformation device.

Then, before she could react, she saw several huge green tongues with mouths slid down from the other side at an extremely fast speed.

They grabbed the falling Xing at the last second before she hit the ground, quickly tied her up several times, and quickly pulled her back and placed her on the bridge.

Xing, who returned to land, still looked a little frightened. He kept patting his heart with his hands, and his breathing was a little rapid.

Yue Yan helplessly reached out and rubbed her head:

"If you really can't help it, hold my hand. This tool is really too dangerous."

This time, she really couldn't be blamed for being careless... The Dream Building Remote Eye not only changes a person's perspective to a third-person perspective from high above, but also causes a certain degree of distortion in space, making it indeed difficult to control.

Even Yue Yan felt a little uncomfortable when using it, let alone others.

So for the next section of the journey, she kept holding Xing's hand as they walked forward, as if she was afraid that her raccoon would fall off the bridge again if she wasn't paying attention.

After a while, because this was too inefficient, she even gave up using the Dream Builder tools. Instead, she simply held the two of them in her arms, used the tentacles extending from her back to bite the building, and under the guidance of Firefly, she flew towards her destination like a tentacle monster.

This is much safer, and because you are moving in a straight line, you don't need to avoid patrols, so the efficiency is much higher.

"Well……"

However, Liuying still felt a little strange being so intimately hugged by a girl she had only known for a few days... But perhaps because she had been hugged once when she fell before, she did not resist, but her face turned a little red.

Furthermore, Yue Yan didn't really hug them with her hands, she just used her tentacles to tie them to her sides - after all, Liuying was about the same height as her, and Xing was a little taller than her...

If I really hold her with both hands, she will probably be squeezed like a sardine can.

……

As the green tentacle monster (fog) went deeper and deeper into the border of the dream, the human voices in the ears of the three people gradually became sparse and then disappeared. At the golden moment, the sky that should have been permanently dark now had a ray of sunlight in the distance, as if the sun was rising.

Outside the reveling crowd, the darkness that symbolized the never-ending night also turned into the coming day - it seemed that this was because the dream builders had not yet adjusted the weather system.

Looking up, they saw countless shooting stars falling in the opposite direction of them... It looked really beautiful - they were countless people dreaming.

They may be intelligent machines, immortals, interstellar tycoons, or invited destiny travelers. They fall from the waking world into the golden dream to seek a ray of peace for themselves.

Finally, under the guidance of Liuying, Yue Yan landed on the rooftop of a high-rise building and put the other two down.

"This is it... This is the golden hour, the closest place to the sky. It feels great and peaceful, right?"

After landing, Liuying walked to the edge of the rooftop. Her beautiful three-colored eyes reflected the distant scenery and the meteors flying back in the sky. She whispered happily:

“Without the clamor of crowds, non-stop revelry, or ubiquitous parties, I can quietly appreciate the beauty, people, and dreams of the moment without being disturbed by anyone…”

At some point, a familiar melody came from afar—a song with a touch of sadness and anticipation, a song by the interstellar star, the Robin, who was about to sing for the Harmony Festival, “Free a Heart from Sorrow.”

Beautiful music lingered in her ears. Yue Yan walked forward, leaned on the railing, and looked quietly into the distance... She didn't say anything, just looked.

It was not until a long time later that a breeze carrying moisture blew her hair, seeming to disturb her.

Only then did she realize that it was raining.

Sparse, cold raindrops fell from the sky, wetting her black hair, and then slowly fell from the ends of her hair. It was indeed rain... But there shouldn't be rain at this golden hour. It symbolizes sobriety and cooling down, and should not appear at parties.

But here, there is no party, so the rain falls normally.

“It’s raining…”

The soothing music continued, and the crisp sound of raindrops falling on the buildings seemed to be its accompaniment - behind the three people was that golden dream, and even at this moment, countless people were still falling into it, turning into a grand, endless meteor shower.

The Memory Court and the Tavern, the Fool and the Ranger, the Star Core Hunter and the Nameless Guest—different people and different things gather here. They may have different purposes, and they may even draw swords against each other, but...

"At least at this moment, time seems to have stopped, and we can quietly enjoy this golden moment..."

229

Chapter 229: I can’t find a reason not to rely on you.

As the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it had reached the point where they had to take shelter. Yue Yan casually took out a simple black umbrella, opened it, and called the other two to take shelter inside.

"So... can you tell us now? Your true identity?"

As they got closer, she said to Liuying in a very gentle voice: "If you feel a little embarrassed... you can have a piece of candy. After eating sweets, you should feel much better."

She knew that it was undoubtedly not an easy task for a terminally ill refugee patient who had left his homeland to personally talk about his past and the fatal disease he suffered from. Therefore, when she was telling the story, she felt that she could do her best to make the other person feel better.

As the girl finished speaking, Liuying realized that she had handed her a piece of candy without her knowing when - although it was wrapped in candy paper, it still exuded an enticing warm aroma.

She took the candy, said thank you, hesitated for a moment, but did not put it in her mouth, but put it in her pocket.

……

"I'm sorry...the hounds that encountered you weren't wrong. I was indeed a stowaway."

This time, in this deserted "secret base", Liuying did not hesitate any longer. She whispered:

"My hometown was destroyed long ago, completely vanished in the Silver Sea. Perhaps it was the Legion, or perhaps it was the Zerg...

But no matter what, this led to me becoming an interstellar refugee, like many locals of Pinocchio, which... is also one of the reasons why I smuggled into the golden moment.

How beautiful this dream is! The harmonious love seems to be able to embrace all people and things. No matter how much suffering you have experienced in reality, as long as you come into the dream, you can sleep peacefully, without being troubled by illness and death.
