Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Yes. I'll go home after my work in Dreamland is over. Transportation used to be quite convenient, but ever since free travel became illegal, it's been Mian Mian who has been leading people back and forth between the two dreams."

"And that [Mianmian]... can you describe its appearance?"

Misha nodded. "Mianmian is a meme from the memory domain. It looks fierce, with many big eyes. But it's actually very obedient, and it's always been Gallagher who takes care of it."

Xing's heart skipped a beat: "Hearing this description, could it be..."

"From the description, that meme is undoubtedly Death. While it's considered a nightmare by the family, the residents here...seem to have a completely different view."

“Ah? Mianmian? This… cough cough cough…!”

Asuna was so shocked that she almost couldn't breathe and started coughing violently.

Why such a cute name?!

If you just listen to them, you'd think they were pets like cats and dogs—so intimate. But wouldn't they feel awkward being given these ugly, ferocious monsters?! And "fierce-looking," "very obedient"... does "very obedient" mean they'll kill anyone they're told to?

“Ahem…!!”

Asuna coughed even louder when she thought of the memory meme piercing Firefly's chest.

The deaths of fireflies and robins were probably also caused by Gallagher's command.

"Asuna, that name suits it very well." Kirito couldn't help but smile. "If you send the opponent away with one sword, wouldn't it be completely asleep forever? Calling it Mian Mian is very suitable."

Asuna couldn't help but frown. "Kirito, what's the point? So, if you were to say so, we could also name the boss 'Skeleton Hunter' who wiped out countless people on the 75th floor of Aincrad 'Bone Bone'. That would also be appropriate, right?"

"Uh, that kind of monster... let's just forget about it?" Kirito looked up at Misha. From the tone of his voice, it was not difficult to hear that he and Gallaher seemed to be very familiar with each other - or rather, Gallaher had a lot of voice and influence in the group of Liumeng Reef.

"No wonder... he dared to confront Sunday head-on. It turns out that Memory Domain Memes have been his pets from the very beginning."

When Gallagher was confronting Sunday, he didn't even say a word. With just a gesture of turning off the lighter, Meme rushed in from the window and completed the assassination. Their cooperation was even more tacit than that of players from countless guilds.

Hiding so deeply, it's really a waste of talent to be the sheriff of the Hound family.

"Death? How can there be death in dreams? Mianmian is a bit fierce and may bring innocent passengers back by mistake, but it will never harm anyone!" Misha promised solemnly.

Walter: "In that case, may I ask if it has brought back any guests in the past couple of days? In fact, we are investigating a missing person case in a beautiful dream."

"Misha doesn't understand this either, but since Gallagher is receiving visitors from the Oak family, it's not convenient to disturb them right now."

"Well, Mr. Walter, the person you are looking for..." Misha paused, "Could it be Miss Mockingbird?"

Walter said, as if he had expected this. "...As expected. With Miss Liuying as a precedent, it's not surprising."

"If you're looking for Miss Mockingbird, I can lead the way. She's given instructions to receive guests from outside."

"Misha enthusiastically offered to act as their guide, helping them find their companions so they could go see the robins together. The two of them agreed."

"There's a massive black hole in Liumeng Reef. Seeing that Mr. Walter seemed very interested in it, Misha introduced him to a staff member who specializes in black hole research. She mentioned a familiar name—Zalalina."

"She was one of the three pioneers who got off the train. She stayed here and became a prominent scholar of memetic dynamics, conducting numerous remarkable studies on the properties of memetic matter. But sadly, she passed away in obscurity, leaving behind only a few thin notebooks."

"According to Misha, she died during the Prison War, which is almost a thousand years ago."

Hunter x Hunter.

"Killua..." Gon said in a muffled voice as he sat cross-legged on the grass, "To die in obscurity like this, isn't it too unfair for a pioneer who had a dream and whose research changed the world?"

Chapter 434 2.2 Master Pinocchio (115)

Killua lay on his back on the grass, a grass stem in his mouth. "But that's what pioneers are like. Not every pioneer on the train can achieve fame and renown like Xing, Himeko, and Mr. Walter. Get off the train, practice [Pioneering], and then die in obscurity... Isn't this the life of most pioneers?"

Although Liumengjiao in the sky is not as prosperous as in the golden hour, there are still many people performing and playing in the streets and alleys. There are no footprints of pioneers in this dark night, but their traces are left everywhere.

"Not everyone can die surrounded by people. I'm afraid the other two pioneers also met a similar end?"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiaojie's serious expression: "Hey, you don't still expect them to be alive, do you?"

Xiao Jie didn't deny it either. "I really want to meet them. Mainly, I hope the pioneers can tell them about what they saw on the train. If they knew that Xing and the others helped the Immortal Boat and revitalized Beloberg... they would probably be very proud, right?"

"I hope so, but honestly, it's better to give up on this idea as soon as possible." Killua sighed softly, "A thousand years... even the immortal species of the Immortal Boat would have turned into a demonic Yin body, right?"

"As they were walking down the road, they heard a Pipisi man's trembling voice say, 'Let me go...'"

"San Yue Qi, standing by, held his forehead helplessly and said, 'Wake up! I beg you...'"

"When the Pipisi saw everyone, he called them ghosts and turned pale with fear."

"Hey, I told you I'm alive, and you're alive too, so please be normal..." Hearing familiar footsteps behind him, Sanyueqi turned around in surprise, "Ah! Uncle Yang, and Xing, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Help me! I met a family member on the road! He was really scared, and I tried to calm him down. But…"

“‘Please let me go, please let me go… I’ve done good deeds all my life, so why can’t I rest in peace after my death…’ The Pipisi man was practically crying.”

"…Well, that's what it is." Sanyueqi shrugged, looking very helpless.

"Xing: "Meet the ghost of Liumengjiao, March Seventh!"

"Wha-what the hell! Watch out or I'll hit you!" Sanyueqi raised her sandbag-sized fist.

Misha stepped forward and said comfortingly, "Sir, this is not the afterlife, this is Dream Reef."

"That's right. Did you hear that?" Sanyueqi looked at the trembling Pipisi behind him, holding his head in his hands, and said word by word, "Repeat after me: Flow, Dream, Reef."

"But the Pipisi in front of me was clearly even more frightened, practically hiding in the garbage. 'You, you're still chatting with something you can't see. I'm dead, right? Ugh, wuuuu... I shouldn't have challenged this taboo by trying to fall asleep in a dream... Curiosity got the better of Pipisi!"

-

Detective Conan.

In the basement of Dr. Agasa's house, Haibara Ai was looking up at the sky while gently stirring her coffee. When she saw the trembling appearance of the Pipisi man, she suddenly realized that things were not that simple.

——This Pipisi man couldn’t even see Misha.

"Kudo..." she suddenly said, "Do you think this sense of disharmony comes from this Pipisi or Misha?"

Conan pushed his glasses. "I prefer Misha. Of course, everyone can see the Pipisi, but not everyone can see Misha. He seems a little special..."

Although Conan didn't want to speculate that the other party was a "ghost", "ghost" was undoubtedly the most appropriate description at the moment.

"I know what you're thinking, but I have to remind you that Misha does have a physical presence in the Daydream Hotel." Haibara Ai put down her coffee cup. "He's a doorman, and a doorman's job is to help guests carry their goods. That alone wouldn't be possible without a physical presence."

"Yes, but that's the strange part," Conan continued, his fingers unconsciously rubbing his chin. "He knows Gallagher, and even Mianmian is willing to help him travel back and forth between the two dreams. There's a high probability that there are some intersections between them. Is there something wrong with that Pipisi?"

"I'm more inclined to believe it's 'family'... or perhaps the influence of Harmony. The more deeply someone is bound by Harmony, the less comfortable they'll be in Dream Reef. To sum up—the meme might have severed his connection with his family, causing some cognitive issues."

At this point, Huiyuan Ai raised her chin somewhat proudly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Kudo, what do you think?"

Conan nodded. "That makes sense, but why do robins seem to be so adaptable to Dream Reef?"

"..."

Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment.

"Eh?"

-

“Stop asking! It’ll attract monsters. All the dead are here, all of them…!”

"Pipixi's intense negative emotions successfully attracted the nearby meme, frightening him so much that he lay peacefully on the ground. However, Sanyueqi was quite curious. It seems that the pedestrians here are not afraid of meme."

"Unlike in beautiful dreams, here, people don't view memory memes as dangerous monsters... Even if there's real danger, they can be forced to wake up and escape the dream," Misha explained.

"A few people brought the Pipisi to Aunt Trish. She seemed to be used to these recent 'unexpected intrusions' of unfamiliar faces. The increasing number of such people made Aunt Trish believe it was a sign of a 'dream collapse.'"

"Anyone who accidentally breaks in will either be killed by Huang Quan or be abducted by that Memory Domain Meme, right?"

The dimple curled her lips. "Shouldn't this be blamed on Gallaher's poor supervision? He allowed this monster to run rampant in the dream world, or did Gallaher hope that Mianmian would kill more people and gather more and more people in Dream Reef?"

"But why would Mr. Gallagher do this?" The extra looked at his master with a puzzled look.

"Who knows? He looks like a good guy, but he might actually be plotting something behind the scenes?" Reigen shrugged. "But what's really worth paying attention to is Misha's words... 'You can escape the dream through forced awakening.'"

Xiao Jiuwo understood the meaning behind Linghuan's words: "What you mean is, when a person forcibly awakens falls asleep again, will they return to the golden hour or the Dream Reef?"

Lingxuan nodded. "Yes, if we could go back to the golden age, the existence of Liumeng Reef would have spread throughout Pinocchio long ago. I guess after these people were brought here by Death, they will never be able to return to that prosperous dreamland."

-

"This gentleman has been quite shaken. Miss March Seven, could you help me find a young woman from the Sky Ring Tribe? Her singing can heal emotional trauma."

"A girl from the Sky Ring Clan...?"

"I guess it's Robin. She's also at Dream Reef right now," Walter explained.

Chapter 435 2.2 Master Pinocchio (116)

"This Misha is going to take us to see her and find out what happened. But before that, shall we meet up with Himeko first? You were supposed to be with her earlier, right?"

"We encountered quite a few stowaways in our settlement. Most of them came from neighboring star systems. It's said that there are more than one place like Flowing Dream Reef in Asdena's memory. They're like small islands in the ocean, and they existed before our family arrived."

"March Seven shared the information he had gathered: 'It's said that when Liumeng Reef was first taking shape, this was the center of Pinocchio's dreamland!'"

Walter nodded. "If that's true, the many similarities between the dream and this place make sense."

"Following Sanyueqi's guidance, they quickly found Jizi, and thanks to her, they met a 'gravekeeper' named Mikael, who was one of the leaders of this exiled land."

“Gravekeeper…?”

Mikael nodded. "Life on Dream Reef is very free, and there's no organization to speak of. Everyone lives their own lives, and everyone keeps to themselves. All I can do is... clean a few tombstones every day."

"Mr. Mikael is too modest. Whenever a lost dreamer is brought here, it is always Mr. Mikael who takes on the responsibility of protection, either returning them to their sweet dreams or teaching them how to survive in the chaotic dream world," Misha added.

“So you’re the head of a family.”

Mikael was stunned for a moment: "Hmm? Mr. Walter, are you talking to me?"

Walter frowned: "...Hmm?"

-

Chainsaw Man.

"This isn't the first time. This Mikay couldn't even detect Misha's presence... How strange! Isn't Misha a native of Liumeng Reef?"

Hayakawa Aki frowned as he looked at the people chatting in the skylight. From beginning to end, Mikael never set his eyes on Misha.

As a public security officer, he instinctively judged that there must be something wrong with this doorman, but he found it difficult to judge whether the other party's plan was good or bad, and what he was trying to do.

(Could Misha be an undercover agent of the family? If he wants to get a job as a bellboy at the Daydream Hotel, the family has to work with him anyway, right? Could he be the head of a certain family… No, is he an undercover agent sent by the Dream Lord to Liumeng Reef? To monitor Liumeng Reef's every move?)

(He acts so innocently, and even sees Clock Boy... Is that acting?)

(But his kindness... doesn't seem acted.)

He rubbed his temples. The person who looked the least like a bad guy was the most suspicious.

"Denci," he suddenly said, "Do you think this Misha is a bad person?"

Although they usually don't want to ask for his opinion, Denji and Pava's intuition always brings unexpected surprises.

"Uh...are you talking about that boy who looks like a girl?" Denci lay on the sofa, picking his nose. "If that guy is a bad guy, then there will be no good people in Pinocchio."

"Denci, you never know." Pava plopped down next to Denci. "Last time, that Shajin looked so bad, but who knew he was actually such a good guy! And now this Misha looks so good, maybe he's the mastermind behind all of Pinocchio's schemes?"

-

"The so-called graves are cenotaphs. Mikael invites you to take a look at them. There might be something to be found there."

"But before that, there's an important guest who's going with them."

"Everyone followed Mr. Mikael's footsteps and just as they crossed a bridge, the clear voice of a young girl drifted in on the wind, mixed with the tender chorus of several children, sounding particularly ethereal in this dream."

"That's really... Miss Mockingbird!"
