Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

This is not a secret worth hiding. Whether the other party believes it or not is none of Zhu Qing’s business.

"So, you met Tiernan at that time?"

"It's clearly written in the mission report. I don't recall the mission requirements requiring me to write down everything I said, right?"

Zhu Qing spread out one hand.

"It's my turn to ask questions. First question, which side are you from?"

"Is this question important?"

Gallagher asked rhetorically.

"Answering a question with a question is not a good way to answer it."

"At least now, I'm part of the family, but... maybe I can help you find a watchmaker."

Zhu Qing shook his head.

"The family won't let you do this."

"The family wouldn't let an old dog like me have contact with guests like you."

Gallagher straightened up.

"The actors haven't appeared yet. It's okay if you don't trust me. But if you have thought it through, go find a man named Shu Weng and wait for me there."

He glanced away.

"If we continue talking, I'm afraid there will be some problems on my side. Let's go."

After saying that, Gallagher turned and left without stopping.

Zhu Qing didn't stop him. He just watched Gallagher leave and then stood up.

Here comes another one...

This family is really in a mess. No wonder Sunday wanted me to take the robin away. If everyone in the family is like this, it's normal to not trust them.

However, just through the conversation, Zhu Qing knew that the person in front of him was most likely not a member of the family.

If he was the watchmaker's man, what he would probably want to do is to drag Zhu Qing into the game.

The first person to enter the game will not gain any benefits. On the contrary, he will only encounter more obstacles.

Now he has many allies and partners in Pinocchio, and the information advantage of entering the market early is not very attractive to him.

As for the so-called watchmaker's legacy?

He wasn't interested.

Zhu Qing raised his feet. If he remembered correctly, the Star Core Hunter had probably already made a good move on Pinocchio by now. If he really wanted more reliable information, asking the Star Core Hunter seemed to be a good choice.

Who will carry out the mission this time?

It looks like a little firefly?

Thinking of the girl's appearance, Zhu Qing couldn't help laughing.

Little Colander is good. You don't have to hide anything when talking to him. Likewise, Little Colander doesn't hide anything either. He always says whatever he thinks.

Most of the information that comes from her can be believed.

However, Elio did not prepare a script for Zhuqing. If he asked Liuying, Zhuqing didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Knowing the future in advance is not necessarily a good thing. This is why Zhu Qing has not asked the Star Core Hunter until now.

They can act according to the script, but Zhuqing can't.

Thinking about something, Zhu Qing left Clark Film and Television Park.

Gallagher's words might not be trustworthy, but at least they had some basis. It was a pity that he didn't have any influential friends in the family, so he couldn't check Gallagher's identity.

Although the robin is Sunday's sister, she has no similar authority herself.

As for Sunday...

If possible, Zhu Qing didn't want to trouble the other party.

For some reason, he felt that Sunday was a little strange, and this strange feeling made Zhu Qing a little wary of him.

Could it be that I've been too close to the robins lately?

Suddenly, Zhu Qing stopped and saw a young girl walking among the crowd in the distance.

I just thought of this little firefly and didn’t expect to see it here.

But this outfit...

Are you playing an artist from the Iris family?

As if she noticed someone was staring at her, the little firefly looked over. The moment she saw Zhu Qing, the girl's eyes seemed to light up.

Zhu Qing stood there, smiled and waved hello.

......

Somewhere, the two found a pavilion and sat down.

There is no sun at this golden hour, and no one knows what this pavilion is guarding against.

There was a glass of Suleda in front of both of them, but the Suleda in the little firefly cup was pink and green, and it didn't look like they would want to drink it.

Well, she likes it very much.

"long time no see."

Liuying held the cup in both hands, her tone filled with a hint of joy.

She really didn't expect to meet Zhu Qing here. The girl thought that they would not meet until at least the Harmonious Music Ceremony began.

After all, only at that time will people gather together.

If you want to find someone in Pinocchio on a normal day without any means of contact, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Well, from this point of view, she is still very lucky.

"How long have you been here?"

"Since we last parted, I've been rushing here at full speed."

Liuying had a smile on her lips.

She was too embarrassed to say that she was almost late for the mission because of playing with Zhuqing those days.

"Pinoconi is really big and interesting. I never thought the dream world would be so 'wonderful'."

The girl's tone was full of emotion, and she seemed to really like days like this.

Zhu Qing supported his chin and looked at the girl who had a strong desire to share. If he remembered correctly, Liuying was born without the ability to dream. Unlike intelligent machines that can install plug-ins, she, who was born without the ability to dream, seemed unable to use the dream pool.

In other words, the method of entering dreams by this delighted girl in front of him might be a little more special than that of ordinary people.

And judging from her appearance, she probably hasn't gone out since she fell asleep.

As for the reasons for not leaving, there are basically two: one is reluctance to leave, and the other is that the price of coming in is too high.

"Silver Wolf made up a new identity for me, an artist from the Iris family. Well... it's a very small position, but this kind of life is also very interesting."

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that she basically doesn't work. With this identity, she can go to many places.

"And in the dream, [Firefly] doesn't have to stay in [Sam] all the time. You don't have to worry about suddenly falling to the ground due to clumsiness, and you don't have to worry about suddenly losing your sight while playing."

What is normal for ordinary people is extremely precious to the girl.

“Just like an ordinary person.”

The girl looked towards the tall buildings with lights on in the distance. She really cherished everything in her dream, even though it was false. But for her who could hardly see any hope, it was not worth it.

This false happiness is also a rare happiness.

She smiled and looked at Zhuqing.

"What do you think of Pinocchio?"

"I feel like they're really like the artists of the Iris family, already getting into the groove of their work."

Liuying blinked and tilted her head to look at Zhuqing.

"......never mind."

Zhu Qing shook his head slightly.

"I've been looking around these past few days, and it's really a rare place to have a good dream."

"Yes, it's a pity that even such a beautiful dream is difficult to be accepted by everyone."

Liuying sighed softly. She even had a purpose in coming to this dreamland.

"Even credit points can't be accepted by everyone."

Zhu Qing looked at the girl, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "If it's convenient, could you tell me how you entered this dream?"

"Of course you can. This Silver Wolf didn't ask me to keep it a secret from you."

Liuying nodded. "This also requires the help of Silver Wolf. I need to crush my consciousness under the weight of the memory matter, and then reassemble it in a special way."

That feeling is not pleasant just by listening to the description.

"Well...it's going to hurt, and it's going to feel like I'm dying. It's very uncomfortable. So if possible, I should be in a dream until I leave Pinocchio."

"Can you find the dream you want here?"

Hearing this, Liuying hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't know, but this is the only chance I'll get to dream like this, so..."

So no matter how painful it was, she wanted to persevere.

"I want to give it a try anyway."

Zhu Qing didn't try to persuade the girl to give up. The fact that she could get this far proved that she could afford the price to pay.

Her will would not be shaken by the pain, and for her, being able to have such a dream, the pain was not worth mentioning.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it in Pinocchio. Even in reality, we always have the opportunity to find the dream that truly belongs to you."

"Well, this is our agreement, I remember."

She was no longer alone.

Liuying laughed.

After chatting for a while, the two turned the topic to Pinocchio.

"Come to think of it, I've been in Pinocchio for a while now, but apart from the script Elio gave me, I haven't noticed anything unusual about Pinocchio."

Liuying propped up her chin. "The script says that we'll have the Star Train pursue the watchmaker's legacy, but what exactly is this legacy?"

"..."

Little colander, I haven’t asked yet.

Zhu Qing shook his head.

"It could be anything: wealth, power, or an experience. Who knows, maybe this inheritance is just a cover."

Liuying nodded, and suddenly, she seemed to remember something.

"Oh, speaking of strange things, I remembered one."

Liuying looked at Zhuqing.

"Zhu Qing, do you know a sea patrol knight named Huang Quan?"

......

Chapter 103: I’m so happy to see you

"Have you met her?"

Zhu Qing became even more curious. Why did this lost guy still like to wander around?

Well, it’s also possible that he was wandering around because he couldn’t find the way.

Liuying nodded.
