Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Wang Xuanqiao was somewhat curious about what kind of dream Alicia had traded with Dr. Edward, but since she didn't bring it up, both Wang Xuanqiao and Eden tacitly agreed not to ask.

After leaving Dr. Edward's office, the three of them strolled along the commercial street. Wang Xuanqiao happened to see a car dealership clerk still hawking his wares, so he went up to them and bought all the Steinway Peregrine Falcons.

This isn't a game; you can't just park your car and watch it go by. Wang Xuanqiao found a place to fill up his jet-black Steinway Peregrine Falcon with Suleda, then stepped on the accelerator—no, valve—and began speeding along the neon-lit avenue with Alicia and Eden.

Moreover, the Steinway Peregrine Falcon is more than just beautiful!

Wang Xuanqiao fumbled around in the car for a long time before finally finding the hidden switch. He reminded Alicia and Eden to sit tight, then pressed the switch.

The pitch-black sports car instantly shot out into the night sky, and amid Alicia's joyful shouts, it became a bird soaring in the sky.

"Dear passengers," Wang Xuanqiao lowered all the windows. "Our next stop is the enormous airship cruising above the twelve o'clock hour—the Hui Changshi!"

Alicia smiled and clapped her hands, and Eden quickly joined her in clapping.

The Steinway Peregrine Falcon drew two white trails in the sky and finally landed steadily in the garage at the rear end of the Huichangshi.

The three of them got out of the car at the same time and walked up the stairs to the deck together.

Aside from the piggy banks and dream bubbles in the pool, this place was no different from any luxury cruise ship. Alicia was quite interested in piggy banks, but her clothing prevented her from getting into the pool. She could only take a few photos of the piggy banks with her phone by the pool.

"Is this also a dream?" Eden couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. But rather than calling it a dream, it's more like a special space composed of memory," Wang Xuanqiao replied. "I'm not sure about the specific principles, so I'd need to consult an expert in memory, such as the Rememberer of Liuguang Yiting."

"Also, this is the venue for the Harmony Ceremony. Because the Hibiscus will constantly cruise above the Twelve Hours, Harmony will also use this feature to spread throughout the dream."

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Alicia smiled. "This is the event Xuanqiao specifically mentioned."

"I definitely won't disappoint you," Wang Xuanqiao said with a smile. "After all, the protagonist of this commemorative concert is a truly remarkable superstar. She once braved danger to personally enter a battlefield, singing for both sides in a plea for peace. Later, she even used her own flesh and blood to protect a humanitarian corridor spanning the galaxy."

Eden felt his heart suddenly tremble and beat much faster.

Alicia also paid tribute to the big star whom she had not met yet, and said that she must listen carefully to the big star's singing.

Silent Eden looked at the notes floating in the air around him, and suddenly felt the urge to play.

"Manager, are there any musical instruments here for guests to use?" she asked Wang Xuanqiao.

"Can we use musical instruments? Indeed, there are." Wang Xuanqiao looked at Eden. "However, the instruments in the dream are likely members of the Dream Troupe. I'm not sure if the music they produce will meet your requirements."

"It's okay. I want to give it a try." Eden nodded slightly. "Where are they?"

——The author has something to say——

At that time, this case of rushing to the battlefield and calling for peace directly brought the image of the robin to its peak. She was like MJ back then. She was no longer just a star who sang and danced, but the embodiment of a golden spirit.

And now, the robin will continue to be a charity image into reality, just like Dishia, using the new era way to spread this spirit to further places.

I know a lot of people don't like miHoYo, but I also believe that personal preferences shouldn't override morality. When he devotes himself to charity, no matter how much you dislike him, you should at least have some respect for him.

There was a piano in the banquet hall of the Opal to create an atmosphere, but there was an ardent fan who claimed that he would never leave the ship. He sat in front of the piano tirelessly and played music non-stop.

Some might find such a maniac particularly troublesome, but Wang Xuanqiao disagreed. In reality, getting such a man to compromise was quite simple: simply accept his passion.

Just one sentence is enough.

"Hello. My friend was inspired after boarding this ship and would like to borrow this piano to express his thoughts. Is that okay?"

After hearing this, the enthusiastic fans of the Hui Changshi immediately made way for Eden happily.

Eden thanked him for his modesty, gently stroked the hem of her skirt, and sat down in front of the piano.

She tapped lightly on the keys a few times to test the pitch of the piano, and then her slender fingers began to dance gracefully on the black and white keys.

Although Wang Xuanqiao didn't understand music very well, he could still hear some of the emotions contained in it. The sound of the piano was slow and low at first, like a person carrying a heavy burden, panting and struggling to walk forward.

The music then grew more melodious, its tempo gradually quickening, like memories hidden deep within the mind being slowly unsealed and released from the deep ocean. A beam of light shone through layers of dark clouds, illuminating the person walking forward.

The sound of the piano became faster and more uplifting, as if the lofty ambitions of youth reappeared in his heart, or like the fighting spirit awakened from a trance and numbness. His eyes, which had been full of haze, became clear again, as if he saw a future that would overcome difficulties.

But the sound of the piano gradually began to soothe itself. Although the light had descended, the difficulties were still there, the obstacles that needed to be overcome were still there, and those who shouldered the heavy burden still had to move forward, and the weight had not been reduced.

However, he gained a little bit of strength, a little bit of strength that allowed him to stand up straight...

The final sound of the piano was like a spring flowing down a mountain stream, neither fast nor slow, full of spirit and vitality. It was not as vast as the ocean, nor as turbulent as a river, but it was clear and transparent, and anyone could scoop up a handful and drink it.

Eden's fingers stopped, and the music should have stopped with it. Unfortunately, this was a dream, and the melody seemed to have spiritual power and echoed in the hall, refusing to dissipate.

Alicia and Wang Xuanqiao clapped their hands at the same time, and then the other guests also applauded.

Eden stood up, smiled and bowed to everyone.

"please wait for a moment!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly broke through the applause. Everyone subconsciously looked over and saw a man wearing glasses. His expression was even more excited than the others, almost flushed.

"Miss, would you be willing to sign a contract with our company? With a talent like yours, your music must be heard by everyone in the universe!"

Well, it's an agent. I'm not sure if he's from Iris or the company.

But bringing up business matters at this time would inevitably spoil the mood. Eden smiled back at him but shook her head, declining the invitation.

"I just played the music that came to me emotionally. I hope I didn't disturb anyone," she said.

"That's such a shame!" The dedicated manager seemed unwilling to give up. "If we can't spread such wonderful music, it would be an unforgivable sin!"

Eden sighed.

"Sir, this performance isn't meant to be shared publicly," she shook her head. "It simply stems from my own personal feelings. All I can do in response is thank you for your recognition."

Alicia suddenly stepped forward and took Eden's arm.

"Eden, let's find a quiet place to sit for a while." She said with a smile, "The music just now was really beautiful, and I have so much to say."

"I'll listen to you, Ellie." Eden smiled softly and left with Alicia.

The dedicated agent did not give up and wanted to follow, but he saw the man next to the two women suddenly turned around and glanced at him.

With just one look, the agent suddenly dared not move.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Even though he was only being looked at, he felt a shudder in his heart, afraid to get closer.

Fortunately, the guests on the Hui Changshi were all well-known figures. Except for the dedicated agent just now, Eden and Alicia were not entangled and successfully left the banquet hall.

The three of them stopped at the quieter side of the ship.

"I'm sorry, this happened because of my momentary impulse." Eden first apologized to Alicia and Wang Xuanqiao.

"How could that be? Everyone just likes Eden's music so much." Alicia hugged Eden's arm and smiled.

"That's not your problem." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head. "I think if you could hear some emotion in the music, you wouldn't be so obsessed with it."

Hearing this, Eden's eyes lit up.

"Did the store manager hear that? My... more personal feelings," she asked.

"I guess I understand." Wang Xuanqiao stroked his chin. "It's like someone carrying a heavy burden, suddenly recalling their past, finding the passion to keep fighting, and finally returning to their true self."

Eden blinked and suddenly laughed softly.

"I didn't expect the store manager to hear all of this," she said. "Actually, I also discovered these emotions from the big star who was in charge of performing for the Harmonious Music Festival, whom the store manager mentioned."

"Huh, is it me?"

At this moment, a voice interrupted the conversation between the three. The door near the side of the ship suddenly opened, and the robin walked through the door to the three people.

"First of all, let me apologize. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." She apologized in advance, just like Eden did. "The performance just now was wonderful. I wanted to come directly here, but there were too many people in the banquet hall, so I took a detour. I just happened to overhear your conversation."

Wang Xuanqiao then took the opportunity to introduce the robin to Alicia and Eden.

"This is the big star I just mentioned, the robin who will sing for the Harmony Festival."

He then introduced Alicia and Eden to the robin.

"They are my good friends who I invited to visit Pinocchio—Alicia and Eden."

"Hello, Miss Robin."

"Hi~ Can I just call you Mockingbird?"

"Hello. Of course, since we're all friends of the store manager, there's no need to be so formal."

After greeting them, the robin, knowing that the three were there to attend the opening ceremony of the Harmony Ceremony, directly invited them to the lounge he was currently using, which was a quiet room where they could wait for the opening of the Harmony Ceremony undisturbed.

It just so happened that the robin also wanted to talk to Eden about music. She expressed her love for the accidental performance without any reservation, especially when she knew that the performance was caused by her, she even said frankly that she felt a sense of surprise.

As a result, the two musicians became more and more excited in their conversation, and it even seemed as if they had met too late.

Alicia and Wang Xuanqiao were left out. They sat in the lounge and watched Eden and Robin chatting happily. Then they looked at each other and smiled at each other.

They simply changed the 'battlefield' and started talking about Pinocchio using the terminal.

As they chatted, the countdown to the opening ceremony of the Harmonious Music Festival began. Wang Xuanqiao was about to head to the venue with Alicia to find a seat when he suddenly saw a message pop up from the "Sleepless Night Strategy Group."

------

Xing: Manager! Something big happened!

Otaku who plays games: ???

Otaku playing games: What are you doing? You drained the gacha pool and found out there is no guaranteed prize?

Xing: Nonsense! My face turned pale!

Xing: No, now is not the time to talk about this.

Star: The Masked Fool suddenly sent a message, saying that she had placed a bomb on the Pyrite. She had hidden the bomb among 999 dolls, and the time for it to be detonated was set to coincide with the opening of the Harmony Festival!

Firefly: [Shocked]

March 7: [Shock]

Huang Quan: [Shocked]

Walter: [Shocked]

Otaku who plays games: [Shocked]

Gamer: Ugh, no big deal. I thought you finally figured out that Gachapon isn't guaranteed to win.

Xing: [Shocked]

Xing: There's really no guarantee? Then why did I see a guaranteed super-big prize item below the grand prize?

The otaku playing games: Did you get that thing?

Xing: [Shocked]

Jizi: Let's get down to business first. We're already aboard the Hidden Stone. Xing has asked for help from others. We want to defuse the bomb before the opening ceremony so that the Harmony Festival can go smoothly.

Jizi: Manager, if we find the bomb, could you please help us deal with it?

The otaku who plays games: I'll look for one too, since I'm free anyway.

Wang Xuanqiao put down the terminal, stood up, and said to Alicia, Eden, and Robin, "We're having an impromptu treasure hunt. Do you want to join us?"

——The author has something to say——

Volume 153: : My True Self and the Golden Dream Journey (Part )

When Robin heard that a bomb had been placed on the Hibiscus, his expression suddenly changed.

But when she saw that the person speaking was Wang Xuanqiao, her expression immediately relaxed.

Oh, it's just a bomb.

"Do you need me to evacuate the guests?" the robin asked Wang Xuanqiao.

"No need, just look for the doll. The train crew has already contacted people and started the operation. Each of us will mark an area and conduct a carpet search. We can solve this problem quickly."

After Wang Xuanqiao finished speaking, he sent the map forwarded by Xing to Alicia and Eden, while Robin looked directly at the sleepless night strategy group. The four of them quickly subcontracted an area and set out to search for the big-headed doll left there by Hua Huo.

Although everyone moved very quickly, there wasn't much tension.

The others were probably less likely to get nervous because they knew Wang Xuanqiao was there. Wang Xuanqiao himself, of course, was aware of the nature of the Masked Fool and his gang.

While it's true that the Masked Fool is mostly a playful bunch, their bottom line is quite subtle. Even though Zombo calls her dangerous, Hanabi's interests and professionalism are far from dangerous.
