Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

"Staying behind to protect the younger generation, that shows the demeanor of an elder."

The dream master looked up at the black hole that was absorbing the dream, and with a snap of his fingers, the black hole disappeared. The dream master has absolute control over the dream, and this control comes from the dream's influence on reality. In other words, as long as he can still influence the dream, attacks will be ineffective.

The reason why the Dream Master chickened out so quickly when facing Huang Quan was because he realized that his abilities could not affect people in the Void Fate Path. However, Walter was obviously not favored by IX, so he would naturally be affected.

"Qiong is the most likely person to defeat you. Although he is usually unserious, he is very reliable when necessary."

Walter remained completely calm. He pulled open his shirt to reveal the white shirt underneath, and raised his hand to adjust his glasses as he spoke.

"Adults have their own stage. Even if we take our final bow, young people will take our place and make the world the way they want it to be."

Walter charged toward Sunday without hesitation. He already knew that the Dream Master did not have a fixed body, so attacking Sunday was the best option to thwart their plans.

"Firefly, let me go! Robin and Uncle Yang, they're still here..."

At this moment, Qiong had already been carried by Liu Ying to the edge of the dream. After reaching the edge, she rushed directly into the void rift that Huang Quan had cut open. Huang Quan had previously cut open the outer shell of the dream, and his power was still on it, giving them a chance to escape.

"No, we must go back and report. We can't let Uncle Yang's sacrifice be in vain."

Firefly's voice came from inside Sam's armor. Unlike Huang Quan, she couldn't ignore all influences. If she and Qiong were left there, there would be no hope for the future. That's why she hit it off with Welt.

"hateful."

Qiong raised his hand as if to smash something, but then he remembered that Sam was Liu Ying, so he lowered his hand. Fortunately, Huang Quan had given his endorsement before, so if the Dream Master didn't want to die, he wouldn't take Walter's life. At most, he would be imprisoned. And since the Robin was the key to the Harmonious Music Ceremony, he would be fine too.

After descending for about ten minutes with Qiong, the outline of the Dream Reef appeared before them. Since the two had been here before, they didn't need a guide when they entered again and arrived here directly through the dream entrance.

March 7th and Himeko were chatting with Galahad when they suddenly saw Sam carrying Sora flying back, and both of them showed surprised expressions.

"Something's happened. Uncle Yang has been detained by the Dream Master."

After landing, Qiong quickly explained what happened in the dream. Himeko's expression was not very surprised. She had long been certain that the Dream Master was suspicious, but she did not expect that Sunday was also in cahoots with the Dream Master. Robin was the one who was kept in the dark.

Chapter 111 A Blank Dream Bubble

"That's pretty much what I thought."

Gallagher spoke, and without any visible movement, the area of ​​the tombstone beneath his feet began to rise, causing the surrounding buildings to shake, until it reached the predetermined height before stopping.

Looking ahead, everyone saw a staircase leading upwards, with a viewing pavilion at the top. From a distance, it appeared that there was a chair there.

"Before we left, the train conductor asked us to inquire about the three unnamed passengers in Pinocchio. Now we know about Ms. Lazarina and Mr. Tiernan, and we only need to find the last one, Ragwalk."

Himeko looked towards the high platform and said, as the train's intellectual leader, she could always figure out the answer faster than anyone else.

"Ever since receiving the Star Train's reply, I have been keeping track of your news, including the tremendous efforts you have made to connect the various worlds. And now, you have arrived here safely, proving your strength."

Gallagher said with a smile, his tone full of emotion, as he revealed the whereabouts of the last nameless guest.

"The last nameless traveler set off, stopped, and set off again... He went around in circles, but in the end, he returned to the starting point."

"On his deathbed, he instructed me to find the Star Train and send that invitation to the nameless traveler of the future. For this, he prepared a gift, a true legacy... belonging only to the descendants of the Pioneers."

"Now, it's time for it to see the light of day again."

“Pinocone’s first and last unnamed customer—the watchmaker, Ragvolk Charles Mikhail.”

As Galakh spoke, he led the way forward. In fact, everyone had already guessed it. Ever since the name Mikhail appeared, they had all associated him with the last nameless guest, which was not surprising.

The group walked into the viewing pavilion and came to the front of the seats. They looked at the old man sitting in the chair with his head tilted to the side, fast asleep. His life had come to an end, and he had entered a deep sleep that could never be awakened.

The old man held a rather large dream bubble in his hands, like a big round ball protecting him. One can imagine how long he maintained this posture, and he hasn't moved since the moment he fell asleep.

"Here it is, this dream bubble, but don't get your hopes up too high. I checked it, and there's nothing inside."

Gallagher pointed to Mikhail's legacy and said, "Qiong looked around and found that no one was going up, so she went up and touched the dream bubble herself, but the feedback she got was nothing."

Next were Himeko, March 7, and Hotaru. After trying, they still couldn't figure out anything from the dream bubble, so they all looked at Galah.

“I knew it. I never understood what the old man was thinking. He never managed to contact the train while he was alive, yet he insisted on leaving this as a legacy. In the end, it was just empty romanticism.”

Gallagher shrugged and said, "Not only is the inheritance gone, but the secret weapon to deal with the Dream Master is also completely gone. We can only rely on the Star Train itself."

"No, I don't think so. The nameless passengers on the train wouldn't do something so pointless. We must have missed something."

Himeko held a different opinion, and Galach nodded in agreement, saying that it would be best if they could make a discovery.

“Mr. Gallagher, we need to borrow your pet to ask Dr. Edward at the Dreambubble Shop.”

Himeko continued, saying that the pet is a sleeper, using its power to take everyone back to a beautiful dream, and inquired about the setting of the dream bubble.

“It’s possible, but the Dream Master is currently issuing a warrant for your arrest,” Gallagher said.

"Just go and come back quickly. Besides, there are a lot of people there. If the Dream Master doesn't want to cause panic, he might not take action. If I were the Dream Master, it would be more important to set up defenses in the Grand Theater than to capture a few people. That's the core of the plan."

Himeko is now the only option for me to confront her head-on, and her analysis is so reasonable that everyone agrees with her.

A monster covered in eyes appeared behind Galah at some point. After staring at it for a while, Qiong's body was teleported into the dream world. An ordinary person would probably have fainted long ago if they were teleported like that, but the people around her were not ordinary people either, but pioneers with strong spirits.

The four of them landed right next to Big Eyeball. Qiong and Dr. Edward were very familiar with each other, so they went up to greet each other.

"We don't do business."

Dr. Edward glanced at the dome and, upon discovering that the group of nameless guests had arrived, immediately closed his eyes, demonstrating just how badly the nameless guests had been perceived by him.

"I'll just ask a question and leave, otherwise I'll sleep on the floor here."

Qiong said frankly, "I love Qunqi." Dr. Si Dehua immediately opened his eyes, choosing short-term pain over prolonged torment.

"Is this supposed to be negotiation? How did you manage to mess up your eyeball like this?"

March 7th chimed in, trying to find fault with him. She thought Qiong and Dr. Edward were friends, but judging from his attitude, he clearly wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Dr. Edward, we obtained a blank dream bubble. Do you know what that means?"

Himeko asked the question, and her feeling was different from that of March 7th. The question was more sensitive, and Dr. Edward might not usually answer it, but after Sora's actions, it seemed to be very willing to cooperate.

"Impossible. There is no such thing as a blank dream bubble in the world. There must be content inside."

Dr. Edward shook his head with his eyeball, saying that this was his profession and he knew that the rule of the impossible was simply impossible.

"But it's blank!" March 7th said angrily.

"Then there's only one possibility: the contents inside, it..."

Dr. Edward suggested a possibility, which was a secret of Dream Bubble. Generally, it wouldn't tell its guests, but Qiong was watching closely, and if it didn't speak up, it might be driven insane by the torment.

After listening, Himeko thanked him and then quickly left the Dreamland with Sora and the others, using the power of slumber to enter the Dream Hotel.

As a passageway between Dreamland and Dream Reef, this place is currently quite safe, and there's no need to worry about being hunted down by her family. However, Himeko didn't consider this place as a foothold, but instead made a request to the slumbering figure beside her.

"Could you please bring Misha here?"

Himeko spoke to Chenmian, who nodded and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Himeko-neechan, why is it Misha?"

March 7th asked curiously. After going to Liumeng Reef, she also saw Misha and Clock Boy. She thought Misha was just an ordinary doorman, but she didn't expect to hear him mentioned here.

"The Anonymous Guest's Premonition."

Himeko gave a mysterious smile. March Seven scratched her head, but she knew she wasn't good at using her brain, so she quietly waited for Misha to arrive.

Chapter 112 My Brain Isn't Working

Excuse me, where is this place?

Misha was brought into the Dream Hotel by the Sleeping Ones, but he looked completely bewildered when he entered, as if he had no idea where he was. However, after seeing everyone on the Starry Sky Train, his heart instinctively calmed down.

Do you remember this place, Misha?

Himeko smiled and said that she did not directly tell Misha her guess, but guided him step by step.

"I... I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels strangely familiar. Where am I?"

Misha shook his head and said that he felt he recognized the place, but only had a vague impression of it.

"This is a dream bubble, and our consciousness entered it. It was a gift left by an anonymous traveler for the Starry Sky Train, but strangely, when we opened it, we found nothing inside."

"So I think, as the hotel doorman and the person who knows Pinocchio best among the Starry Sky Train's friends, you should be able to help us solve this mystery."

Himeko explained the situation to Misha, and then patiently explained that she was indeed an excellent navigator, capable of performing exceptionally well even when not facing her own people.

"I don't know much about dream bubbles. But if you all want to understand what this big house is, I'll try my best!"

Misha nodded. He was happy to help the people on the Starry Sky Train. Although they had only been friends for a short time, he had a good impression of the people on the train.

"Himeko-nee... I'm still very confused. Why are you so certain that Misha is related to this dream bubble?"

March 7th whispered to Himeko, "Of all the people at Pinocchio, why did they choose Misha?" Little March felt like her brain wasn't working properly.

“I can’t be sure, I just have some guesses. But since Misha feels familiar with this place… it means my guess might be correct.”

Himeko looked at Ryuki beside Sora and said something. Ryuki and Himeko made eye contact and paused for a moment, then nodded, as if they were on the same wavelength.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

March 7th felt ostracized, a kind of intellectual bullying, where everyone else understood but she didn't, which made her pout and feel sad.

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough."

Himeko patted March 7's head and said something, then followed Misha out of the guest room and into the Dream Hotel they had visited before.

The Dream Hotel has a unique layout; its doors are endless, like a maze. If you keep walking forward, you will pass through countless doors and return to the starting point. No other dream hotel has this characteristic.

However, led by Misha, the group did not experience the endless loop after passing through the gate. They arrived smoothly at the hotel lobby, a place that felt like home, with bedrooms, a playroom, a study, and a watchmaker's workshop.

As Misha walked along, his demeanor changed considerably. From initial confusion and bewilderment, he gradually became more determined. The easiest way to tell was by his walking posture; he was no longer as cautious as before, but rather composed and unhurried, as if he were the master of this place.

"I grew up here."

Misha stood in the studio, looking at the clock on the wall.

"It seems you've remembered everything."

Himeko nodded. Things were going as she had thought. The journey she had just taken with Misha was actually to help him recall those important things, but she had kept it to herself from the beginning, letting the mystery be revealed at the end.

"What's going on?"

March 7th clutched her head and said, feeling increasingly that her intelligence was insufficient. Although she had long accepted the fact that she was not as smart as Himeko, the difference was still too great.

"Little March, do you remember when Qiong mentioned that there was a clock boy that only she could see?"

Himeko calmly explained to March 7 that this was not something that could be explained in a sentence or two, but the answer would be revealed soon.

“I remember, isn’t that the one over there? We saw it at Liumeng Reef, and Uncle Yang greeted it too.”

March 7th pointed down at the clock boy next to Misha and said that he didn't know when it appeared, but it was Misha's little follower and March 7th had gotten used to its presence.

“The answer is the Star Train. Sora’s experience proves that at least Miss Firefly and Miss Yomi cannot see this clock boy,” Himeko said.

"Miss Firefly can't see?"

On March 7th, she looked at Firefly, who had followed her all the way, and wondered why Miss Firefly was so quiet and never responded when Misha spoke.

"Yes, not just Clockwork Boy, I can't see Misha either."

Liu Ying nodded and said that from her perspective, it was always the three people on the Starry Sky Train running around. She was the one being ostracized, but she didn't care. As long as she was with Qiong, that was enough.

"Wait a minute, this is terrifying to think about!"

March 7th said with a surprised look, "Clock Boy is understandable, it might be a memetic life form, but it's strange that Misha can't see him either, he's a living person... right?"

"I'm no different from Clockwork Boy; we're both meme lifeforms."

Misha then spoke up. March 7 looked at him and said, "Putting aside whether it resembles a meme life form or not, everyone can see memes like Sleeping Memes, so why is it different for Misha?"

“In March, the Star Train is key. Misha and the Clock Boy can only be seen by people on the train. Doesn’t this fit the legacy that Mikhail left to the Star Train?”

"He's Dream Bubble!"

March 7th was blurted out, and Himeko was amused by March 7th's cute remark, so she smiled gently and continued speaking.

"To be precise, it's the memories within the dream bubble. Dr. Edward told us before that there are no empty dream bubbles in a dream, but there is one exception: the things in the dream bubble can run out on their own."

Himeko's explanation further proves that Pinocchio is a world full of wonders. It's strange enough that something like a dream bubble exists, but the memories inside can even escape.

“I am a dreamer, Ragvok Shar Mikhail, or more simply, Misha.”

Misha spoke to March 7, but his voice had changed; it was no longer that of a boy, but that of an old man.

"So you are the watchmaker himself."

March 7th said in surprise, she thought she would never see the nameless guest alive again, but Misha's appearance still gave her some surprises.

"It's a pity that the dream tycoon that everyone admires is no longer here. I am just a microcosm of his life."
