Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"Ellie, ah, the manager is here too."

She then realized that Wang Xuanqiao was standing behind the seat.

"Thanks for the game, Manager," Eden said, standing up. "It's really a surprise."

That's right, it's even the fastest way to temporarily brush points for others, Wang Xuanqiao thought.

"What kind of reward did the system give you?" he asked.

Speaking of earning points, of course, we have to mention the genuine rewards. Wang Xuanqiao was actually also thinking about his "index" duties, because he was curious about what kind of tricks the system could come up with.

Alicia also cast a curious look.

"Reward?" Eden began to ponder, as if listening to the prompts in his mind.

After a moment, she replied, "It's called [Voice of the Past]. From the description, it seems to allow me to tell others about the past."

Wang Xuanqiao immediately began to search the system mall.

[Sounds of the Past]: Yesterday's events have vanished into thin air. What can one do amidst the ceaseless flow of time and the repetition of the sun and moon? Only a light song, a short sketch, a photograph, a doodle can offer solace.

The holder can use any artistic medium to allow the audience to experience the feeling of yesterday again.

This time, it was Wang Xuanqiao's turn to ponder. Although this skill seemed a bit subtle at first glance, and even the skill description had a bit of a literary whiff, it was actually just the beginning of a skill tree.

And unlike the five-level structure that appeared previously, the skill tree belonging to [Voices of the Past] has only a three-level structure.

[Sounds of the Past], [Harmony of Time], [Ceremony of Memory].

They correspond to recreating feelings, recreating scenes, and recreating history. They just need a medium, and for Eden, that medium will undoubtedly be music.

But Wang Xuanqiao couldn't quite wrap his head around it. Was Rhythm Lightsaber really that awesome? How could a music game unlock something so advanced? [Memory Festival] Even the Rememberers of Liuguang Memory Court would be impressed by this level, right?

"Eden, Eden, if I listen to you play a song now, can I feel the same feeling as before?" When Alicia heard Eden's recitation, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It should be possible, Ellie. But maybe we need to find the corresponding song." Eden replied with a chuckle.

After hearing their conversation, Wang Xuanqiao suddenly understood.

I see! No wonder the Rhythm Saber could unlock this set of skills for Eden. He smiled and looked at Eden in front of him.

"You should be busy writing songs next." Wang Xuanqiao said with a meaningful smile.

Eden was a little confused at first, but then he understood the meaning of this sentence. He suddenly lowered his eyes, but the corners of his mouth became more upward.

"Thank you, Manager." She suddenly said, "This is indeed a gift that means a lot to me."

"You shouldn't thank me." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head, "Because that was the reward for your wish."

Eden smiled again, and unlike his usual calmness, he smiled unexpectedly cheerfully.

It had to be said that the conversation between the three of them was like a cycle. One moment this was confused, the next that. For example, now it was Alicia's turn to be confused. Each sentence of their conversation was understandable, but when put together...

However, all three of them figured out the reasons on their own.

Alicia was no exception. After her initial confusion, she quickly understood the meaning behind the conversation.

"Then let's go back first, Eden. Fire Moth still has a lot of old musical instruments. I want to hear you play the songs from your first performance!" Alicia hugged Eden's arm.

"Okay, Ellie," Eden agreed happily.

The two said goodbye to Wang Xuanqiao and left the arcade together. Before leaving, Alicia suddenly turned around and gave Wang Xuanqiao a meaningful smile.

After they left, Wang Xuanqiao found that a message suddenly popped up on the terminal.

It was sent by Alicia, and it seemed that she pressed the send button the moment she walked out the door.

------

Miss Pink Fairy: See you tonight~

------

"Ellie, why does your face suddenly..." Eden felt that his best friend beside him suddenly started to feel hot, and he turned his head in surprise.

"Because I just made a very bold decision." Alicia's breathing became noticeably faster, as if she was taking a deep breath.

"A bold decision?" Eden blinked.

What kind of decision would Ellie call truly daring? Her thoughts began to race up and down like notes on a musical score...

——The author has something to say——

This is an update that has been delayed for two days, I’m so sorry!

And, thanks again to the top tier player, Ai Xilu Weng, for the gift! But, while the soap is nice, don't be greedy.

It will affect my gaming time (crossed out)

Volume 116: : Dream within a dream, real dream

There are dreams outside of dreams.

The family used the unique memory environment of Pinocchio to construct a golden dream, building a high wall to isolate the wilderness of memory. While the world was intoxicated by the enchanting splendor of this dream, they never imagined that there was a group of people who plunged into the wilderness to cultivate the future.

Even though this realm of memories is not as brilliant and glorious as the twelve moments, when Xing actually walked on this land of dreams, he truly felt a sense of solidity as if he were standing on solid ground.

She entered the memory zone called Liumengjiao alone and met a variety of dreamers who had entered this golden dream. Some were frightened because they had mistakenly entered this place, some had settled down and lived happily here, some were guarding the tombstone alone, and some were also here seeking the truth...

Then, Firefly also came here.

Also accompanying him was an elegant rememberer.

"star!"

When Liuying saw Xing again, the joy that burst out was like the reunion of a close friend after a long separation. However, the scene of this reunion... to be honest, it was still a little subtle.

For example, next to Xing stood the renowned Miss Robin, while next to Liuying stood the elegant and intellectual Miss Black Swan. Coincidentally, judging by their names, these two might be considered to belong to the same category.

Fate is always so wonderful.

"You didn't just chase that memory meme away, did you?" When Xing saw Liuying, the first thing she asked was the question that she cared about the most.

This time has indeed taken quite a long time. If Liuying doesn't come, Xing feels that he will turn Liumeng Reef upside down.

It’s a pity that there is no trash can here. I thought the primitive dream would be more “primitive”.

"Uh...this..." Liuying's eyes were evasive and she hesitated, but the answer was self-evident.

"It's okay, good job!" Xing touched the clothes on his chest, "It hurts my chest. Next time I must find a different way of transportation."

"Hello, Miss Xing." Black Swan took advantage of the opportunity to join in the conversation.

"I've been commissioned to take you out of the dream," she said, glancing at the robin out of the corner of her eye. "Your companions are worried because they've lost contact with you."

"Oh no! I haven't contacted them in such a long time." Xing slapped his head and remembered that he might have been 'out of touch' for quite some time.

"Then Xing, you should go back first. You can inform your companions on the train of your current findings," Liuying said quickly. "This Miss Black Swan has a way to travel freely through the memory realm. Perhaps we can ask her for help next time?"

"Don't we have a better way?" Xing winked at Liuying.

"I see. I'll wait for you then." Liuying immediately understood and nodded with a smile.

The black swan also smiled slightly, but the curve of its mouth was meaningful.

She led Xing away from Liumeng Reef, while Liuying stayed where she was and exchanged glances with the robin.

"Um... Miss Robin, why are you here? Are you also..." In fact, Liuying wanted to ask this question from the moment she saw Robin.

How did the memory meme, wandering deep within dreams, find Mockingbird? She was clearly a member of the family, so she shouldn't be in a place like that.

"That's a long story." Mockingbird couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Ever since I returned to Pinocchio, my voice has been acting strange, and I've even gradually lost it. I thought it was because I'd been away for too long and wasn't used to the high-concentration mnemonics of Asdena, but later I discovered that wasn't the case."

"Pinocone's dreamland also showed signs of abnormality. The borders of the Twelve Dreams continued to expand outward, but when I asked the other family heads about it, they remained silent. Later, a secret letter from the company's envoy confirmed that there was some unspeakable secret hidden beneath Pinocone's glory. Finally, I found this place through several clues in the Oak family files."

Liuying's eyes began to flicker as she thought about it.

"If the family has strayed from the path of harmony, then what path are they taking now?"

If those who walk the path of destiny betray it one day, they will lose the power that comes from it. If a family that relies on the blessing of harmony loses the power and authority granted by harmony, how can it maintain its rule?

"I don't know," the robin confessed. "What the family is planning remains a mystery. But Mr. Mikael says the answer lies in the reason the watchmaker and the family fell out. He wants to make a deal with me so that I won't perform at the Harmony Festival anymore."

"A watchmaker..." Liuying re-savoured the name, the identity, and the role that ran through the entire Pinocchio.

"As for the identity of the watchmaker, Mr. Mikael told me that he was one of the three unknown guests who stayed in the border prison back then."

An unknown guest? Liuying suddenly felt her heartstrings flutter.

If it was an unknown guest, what would be the reason that made him choose to break up?

If I were a nameless person, I would open up a new future for the Earth.

"The future." Liuying suddenly uttered this word.

"The future?" The robin was a little surprised and repeated the word subconsciously.

"If this is the reason why the nameless watchmaker chose to break away, it must be because the choice made by the family will kill the future of Pinoconi and even the entire Asdena galaxy." Liuying slowly opened her eyes wide, "And the family controls..."

The two girls gave the same answer at the same time.

“Sweet dreams!”

The answer was like lightning in the night, suddenly breaking the darkness. But after that light instantly dispelled the darkness, it left behind an even more terrifying shadow.

Questions arise one after another, like shadows rising from the darkness. How can dreams erase the future? How can a family control dreams? How can a family... imprison all visitors?

Snap, snap——

A gentle applause reached the ears of the fireflies and robins.

"I didn't expect you to figure it out this quickly. You're worthy of being with Wumingke, right?"

Liuying turned her head and saw who was coming. She immediately showed a look of vigilance.

"You are of the Hound line..."

The man smiled and shrugged.

"Don't be so nervous, Miss Samuel. You've done such a high-profile job in the Iris family, there has to be someone to help you clean up the mess, right?"

Hearing this, Liuying relaxed her guard a little.

"Please reintroduce yourself. I'm Gallagher, the watchmaker's assistant, the founder of Dream Reef, and the fictional historian."

The man walked to the metal guardrail and looked to the north of Liumeng Reef. There was nothing there but a piece of memory emitting a faint glow.

"Honestly, your progress has exceeded my expectations." Gallagher toyed with a lighter. "The actors haven't all arrived yet, and the family is still taking action regarding Miss Mockingbird's 'death'. Yet, you've arrived here first, bringing us closer to the answer."

"So Mr. Gallagher, do you know what the family is planning?"

Robin stepped forward and asked.

"I have only to name one, and you will all understand." Gallagher turned his head.

"What is it?" Liuying asked.

"Star core." Gallagher calmly watched the two girls' expressions change from astonishment to realization.

“Strip away the gold and honey that dreams use to embellish the self, and you will find only bones and blood beneath the glittering veneer.”

"We tried to prevent this tragedy, but it was too late. Our families took advantage of the opening of the Void to establish themselves here, growing into intertwined trees. They now control everything, and we are powerless to stop them."

"So I sent an invitation to the Starry Sky Train, hoping that the new nameless guests could come here and accomplish what we failed to do."

Liuying took a deep breath.

"Where is the core?" she asked Gallagher.

"It's not clear yet." Gallagher shook his head. "I had originally planned to bring Sunday over and use his position in the family to learn about the location of the star core. But as I said just now, you're moving too fast. Now is not the time to negotiate with him."

"Please leave it to me, Mr. Gallaher," said the robin. "I should be able to persuade my brother to join our cause."

——The author has something to say——

Looking back at this plot, I can only say that Gallagher didn't expect the family to play such a big game.

I thought it was a stellar catastrophe.
