Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"If you want to eat and drink here, then get a membership card. Once you become a member, you can eat and drink whatever you want."

Xing immediately started walking towards the counter.

"Then please help me get one, boss! I've dreamed of becoming a member here since I was little!"

"Isn't this your first time here?" Wang Xuanqiao was a little amazed at Xing's ability to talk nonsense, and suddenly even looked forward to the scene when Ying, who loved to make fun of people, came into the store.

"Isn't there a saying that everyone has their own promised land from birth? I feel like this is it!"

"It better not be here." Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but complain, "You are an unknown guest, you should have some shame."

After all, Wang Xuanqiao himself didn't want to be considered a game addict. If a customer became disabled because of his arcade, he would definitely help them break their internet addiction.

Anyway, I still signed up for Xing as a member. He was another person whose date of birth was unknown. When taking pictures, Xing casually put his hands on his waist, but it was surprisingly photogenic.

At the same time, the prompt to unlock the corresponding game also sounded.

[Game: "Minecraft" has been unlocked, please enjoy the experience. ]

Ouch? Ouch?

Wang Xuanqiao instantly showed a look of surprise.

Another heavyweight classic game has appeared!

"Maybe this really is your promised land." He immediately changed his words. This sudden change made Xingdu a little confused.

"Did I win something big? Like I was the 100th customer to get a membership card?"

"Let's continue with the introduction." Wang Xuanqiao cleared his throat. "This is my store: the Ninth Art Game Hall. Although it's a game hall, the system claims that it can connect all worlds. In other words, you are no longer in your own world."

"For guests who apply for membership cards here, the system will unlock corresponding games based on their characteristics. By playing the games they unlock, guests can get a special reward that is just for them."

"The game you unlocked is called Minecraft. It's a unique game in the gaming world, as its openness is unmatched, and its degree of freedom is unmatched. To put it bluntly, this game can become almost any game."

When Xing heard this, she was not excited. Instead, she pinched her chin with a thoughtful look on her face.

Openness...freedom...these two terms suddenly made her think of something.

For example—the star core in his body, known as the cancer of all worlds. And...the glances from different star gods.

"It seems that you also have some interpretation of yourself." Seeing this, Wang Xuanqiao understood what Xing was thinking.

She's not as carefree as she appears, and her playful attitude conceals a subtlety that's unusual for ordinary people. It's like the embodiment of her identity as a player.

Wang Xuanqiao gained a better understanding of this living "Miss Star Core".

Applying for a membership card was just a minor incident; the main issue was naturally what was about to happen at Pinocchio. Although there were also some personal matters involved, Wang Xuanqiao realized that if he didn't finish the card application process, Liuying might be scolded by Alicia to the point of smoking.

It has to be said that Liuying, who was born as a warrior, is really not good at getting along with girls like Alicia. He almost made her cheeks hot with just a few words.

It wasn't until Wang Xuanqiao came back with Xing carrying a bunch of snacks and drinks that Liuying immediately showed an expression of "being saved".

"Continuing from the previous topic, regarding Pinocchio's synesthetic dreams. Ever since I infiltrated Pinocchio, I've been trying to investigate the family. Due to the unique nature of the memory space, I suspect the family must be cleverly using this feature to hide something."

Xing also stuffed a lot of food into Liuying's hands, but she didn't have time to eat it because she still had to talk.

"The same goes for the Watchmaker's Legacy. Especially since your friend just sent us there, it's made me even more certain that there are layers of space within synesthetic dreams. And the twelve hours are likely just a representation of the synesthetic dream."

Xing stuffed a cookie into his mouth and thought as he chewed.

"Regarding Sambo, before we passed out, I saw Sambo transformed into a strange woman. She had black pigtails and red eyes."

"That's the Masked Fool, Hanabi." Wang Xuanqiao joined the conversation. "It seems you've already met her. Did she tell you she wanted to have a dream within a dream?"

Firefly and Xing shook their heads at the same time.

"We were looking for a door to the arcade, but fate seemed to have intervened at that moment, and we couldn't find an entrance. Xing wanted to make a door himself, but that person suddenly appeared and offered to give us a ride."

Liuying explained first.

"Now that I think about it, I'll have to thank her next time." Xing grinned, stuffed another biscuit into his mouth, and started chewing it.

It seemed the original plot had changed. Wang Xuanqiao nodded, suddenly curious about how Liuying, who bore the seed of a hero, could change her original fate.

Because according to Liuying, when she wanted to bring Xing into the arcade, fate intervened at the golden moment. If it weren't for Hanabi's help, they might not have been able to get here so smoothly.

As for why Hua Huo came to his aid at this moment, Wang Xuanqiao immediately guessed that it was likely that the Masked Fool, who truly knew the script, had sensed something and began to test the waters.

Maybe she is now wandering around the place where Liuying and Xing left, trying to crack the secret of entering the game hall.

"Ah!"

Hanabi, who was placing dolls in the dream corridor, suddenly sneezed.

——The author has something to say——

I can't add more chapters today. It's my fault. Sorry. I went to work on the original art collection today. I have it now. I will add more chapters tomorrow!

Volume 113: : Fireworks Doll, shaking its head

Liuying and Xing completed their information exchange. To be more precise, it was just a frank exchange of identities and positions. Liuying didn't get much from Elio's script, so she didn't know much about Pinocchio's specific situation.

Regarding the investigation of the watchmaker's legacy, they were on the same starting line. Fireworks not only gave them the opportunity to enter the game hall, but also opened the door to the deep dream for them.

Liuying and Xing decided to explore the deep dream first. Even if they encountered the so-called fate, they had a way out with the game hall membership card in their hands.

The two of them left together, and Xing also took away the uneaten snacks. The main point was not to waste anything.

Seeing her eating so much, people who didn’t know her would think that the Starry Sky Train didn’t give her food.

"Are they from another world?" When the two disappeared through the sensor door, Alicia suddenly asked Wang Xuanqiao.

"It's indeed another world. It's just that it's actually very similar to your world, because there's also a Walter from Earth on the Star Train. In a sense, you could say it's a future I've never been involved in."

"Is that so? In other words, there are beings like Kiana and the others in that world?" Alicia rested her hands on her legs, supporting her cheeks, her face full of daydreaming.

"That's very possible. Moreover, there are many [Isotopes] in that world. For example, Yomi, she is another Raiden Mei in that world, just from a different planet."

When mentioning Huangquan, Wang Xuanqiao suddenly remembered that this person hadn't visited the arcade since signing up for the card. Given her tendency to forget things, he wondered if she had simply forgotten about the arcade.

"Hmm, if that's the case, then maybe there will be another me in that world?" Alicia's interest almost overflowed from her words.

"Maybe." Wang Xuanqiao nodded, but then he thought of something and suddenly added, "But, for me, there is only you, Alicia."

"...Ouch! Why did you suddenly say that, Xuanqiao? That's so unfair! At least give me some time to prepare."

Alicia's elbow nearly fell off her thigh, and her cheeks flushed rapidly.

"That won't do. You're the one who talks every day, so it's my turn." Wang Xuanqiao looked at her cheerfully, "How about asking them to lead the way next time? Let's go to that event star, Pinocchio, and have some fun together?"

"Wow, really?" Alicia's eyes suddenly lit up. "So, are we the only two?"

"We can't form a Yingjie tour group. I'm not a local and I can't be a tour guide." Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but smile.

"Then I have to prepare well." Alicia smiled with her eyebrows curved, like a warm yellow crescent moon in the cool night.

"By the way, about that girl named Liuying." After laughing, she changed the subject. "She seems a little different from when she first came. There's an indescribable feeling about her, like a new sprout growing in a blazing fire."

"She has indeed broken through herself." Wang Xuanqiao nodded gently, "So I'm also looking forward to what she can do with this new look."

"Aren't you going to help them?"

"No. Unless the power of a Star God intervenes, Pinocchio doesn't need my meddling. Rather than being in charge of everything, I'd much rather be an ordinary tourist with you, wandering around."

Alicia's complexion had just recovered when it turned red again all the way to her ears.

Now Alicia is like a ripe apple, sweet, delicate and mouth-watering.

Wang Xuanqiao himself couldn't bear it anymore.

The two of them laughed awkwardly at the same time, like two fools who walked out of a comedy comic.

"Hey! Let's go listen to Eden's music."

"Yeah! Okay!"

Even though they were in their own territory, both Alicia and Wang Xuanqiao walked so fast as if they were trying to escape.

------

After returning to the deep dream, the first thing Liuying and Xing saw was a floor full of big-headed dolls.

They all resembled Hanabi, and even though the two had barely seen the Masked Fool once, they still recognized her.

There's no way around it; some people are born to stand out. Those who wear masks, in particular, need to be especially vigilant in this universe.

"Is she reminding us?" Xing picked up a doll and looked at it in front of him, but he didn't find any secret code or clues.

"I think there's something wrong with these dolls." Liuying shook her head. "She left these dolls behind, which means she came here as well. She knew our whereabouts were cut off here, which means she has actually been following us the whole time."

"Hey! What do you think would happen if she met the store manager?" Xing suddenly had an expression that said "I have an idea".

"Uh... well, let's not cause trouble for the store manager, right?"

As soon as Liuying finished speaking, the dolls around her suddenly came to life and began to shake their heads wildly.

"Warning—warning—explosion—"

"Attention—attention—a surprise is coming—"

"Yeah—Yeah—let's set off fireworks—"

The two men's faces changed, and Xing threw the firework doll in his hand back, and ran wildly towards the depths of the dream corridor with Liuying.

Then, the 'explosion' happened!

"Crack—bang!"

"Swoosh, swoosh—bang!"

"Woohoo—boom!"

"Hey! That wasn't an explosion!"

"Oh no, honey, that's the sound of you about to explode~"

Although... that was just an explosion described by all the dolls in spoken language. Then, the dolls all laughed wildly at the same time as if their trick had succeeded, and the laughter echoed for a long time in the empty corridor.

Feeling that they should be safe, Liuying and Xing stopped and took a breath to adjust themselves.

Liuying suddenly laughed. Xing was a little confused, but she also laughed along. Amidst the laughter, they readjusted themselves.

"There seems to be a dislocation in this space." Liuying raised her hand and pointed at the meme [Jingmeng Theater] that was walking on the wall.

"Huh? Strange, I seem to have seen this scene before." Xing suddenly remembered that when the train set off for Pinocchio, she had entered a similar dream and saw a strange woman in the dream.

But, who is she...?

The memory is very vague, I just remember that there seemed to be a flash of purple passing before my eyes.

"Xing, Xing?" Liuying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xing's eyes.

"Ah? Was I distracted just now?" Xing blinked hard and rubbed his head.

"You just said you'd seen this kind of scene, and then you suddenly lost consciousness." Liuying's expression was filled with worry. "Is it because of the memory? The memory environment here is indeed different from the golden hour. If you're not feeling well, we need to leave as soon as possible."

"I'm fine, I just feel like I thought of something extraordinary." Xing smiled slightly, looked around the room, and soon found a golden tower that looked like a fountain.

She ran over quickly and touched the golden tower with her hand, and soon something like a flower bud wrapped around her body.

"I remember that this method can be used to walk on the wall." Xing released golden dream bubbles towards the wall, building a counterintuitive bridge.

Liuying followed Xing and carefully stepped onto the golden bridge. Then he felt the sky and the earth turn, as if the entire space rotated like a square box in an instant, up became down, left became right, and the original direction was reset in an instant.

"This, is actually possible? It is clearly forbidden to arbitrarily change the gravity of dreams..." Liuying couldn't help but look back at the road she came from, and for a moment she felt dizzy as if she had lost her direction.

"You can't look back." Xing shook her head at her. "This is a dream. Perhaps cognition is more important than rules."

"Is that so?" Liuying nodded. "Come to think of it, it seems this space isn't the only place with these anomalies. When I was escaping just now, I noticed some words floating in the air. I remember it was... Mikhail."

"Mikhail?" Xing pinched her chin lightly. The name sounded very familiar, and she felt like she had heard it somewhere.

"I think, if that wasn't a hint left intentionally by someone, perhaps it was just the echo of a certain will." At this moment, the only thing Liuying needed to become a detective was a pipe.

"Also, I noticed before we set out that there seemed to be a lot of clockwork elements here. Since I previously suspected it was related to the watchmaker's legacy, is it possible..."

——The author has something to say——

Ahem, let me tell you a story that is not part of our main story.

That's it! At this moment, on Golden Hour Street, Huang Quan was being harassed by the gang leader, while Clock Kid was getting anxious because he hadn't waited for the Chosen Little Gray Hair!

So, how will this play end without its leading actor?
