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

"The performance is over. Liu Ying, your acting is really good. You are indeed my favorite girlfriend."

"Really?"

Upon hearing Qiong's words, Liu Ying felt no longer aggrieved. She remembered that her goal was actually to pass the test, and she shouldn't have had any extra emotions, but she just couldn't control herself. Now it seemed that her results were indeed very good.

"Congratulations to both contestants on advancing to the next round. We hope they can bring us such a performance in the next match."

The director clapped and said that there were more competitions like this waiting for them, and only those who got the highest score after all of them advanced could go see the robin.

"Firefly, I have two more scripts here..."

Qiong wanted to put on a show to earn more points, since it was relatively easy, but after he said that, Liuying's expression was clearly not so cooperative.

"Let's go do action movies instead."

Liu Ying suggested it, and Qiong wisely shut up. He felt that if he didn't agree to Liu Ying's action scenes, he might become the one who got beaten up.

Action scenes were clearly Liu Ying's domain. As if she wanted to vent all her previous grievances, she beat up the Dream Troupe in the action scenes until they screamed in terror, successfully winning the highest score of all the action scenes and undoubtedly taking first place. Even the judges and the director were afraid that they would be beaten up by her, so they passed the scene directly.

Wow, you guys really got first place?

March 7 and Himeko breathed a sigh of relief when they came out of the exit and learned that Sora and Ryuki had won first place. If something had happened here, they would really have had to pretend to be Star Core Hunters.

"Easily."

Qiong held Liuying's hand and said that Liuying was in a much better mood now. She had vented all her bad mood on those unlucky Dream Theater Troupe members, and a smile appeared on her lips.

After winning the championship, the passageway leading to the area below the Grand Theatre was opened, where there was a reception area for guests. As agreed, the robin would meet the champion there, and then they would go together to the Grand Theatre to participate in the Harmonious Music Ceremony.

But now that Qiong and the others know that Robin is no longer here, she can't possibly come out to meet them, so when they see Sunday dressed in a high-society outfit as they walk out of the passage, they are not surprised.

Chapter 116 Praising the Seven-Day Weekend

"Congratulations to both of you on becoming the stars of this grand musical event. Before entering the Grand Theater..."

On Sunday, as was his habit, he said some polite words to Qiong and Liuying, since they had indeed won the championship. As one of the organizers, Sunday wanted to be polite and talk about his own affairs.

"Give me back my robin wife!"

Qiong shouted, interrupting Sunday's words, and everyone watched as Sunday's expression visibly twisted.

"When did my sister become your wife?!"

On Sunday, he roared, "That bastard Qiong is chasing after the robin, but the robin hasn't agreed to be with him yet. Now he's calling her 'wife,' which is ruining my sister's reputation."

"The robin and I were in love, but then that monster called the Dream Master objected and forcibly separated us. As your brother-in-law, you not only didn't help your sister, but you also helped that monster deal with your own sister, gambling with your sister's happy marriage. I'm heartbroken and wish I could explode at you right now."

Qiong spoke with an air of seriousness, and after finishing, she raised her hand and patted her chest, revealing a phantom of a star core. She was truly preparing to self-destruct with Sunday.

"Stop, Qiong boy! If you blow up Pinocchio here, all the people here are doomed."

March 7th exclaimed in surprise and quickly hugged Qiong from behind to persuade him. Sunday was also speechless for a moment. He felt that he might be a bad person, which needed to be judged from many factors, but Qiong was clearly a pure villain who would self-destruct at the drop of a hat. Was that something a human would do?

"With your emotions so unstable, how can I entrust my sister to you?"

On Sunday, someone tried to persuade him, but March 7th peeked out from under Qiong's armpit and looked at Sunday with a look of utter disbelief.

On March 7th, I remembered a phrase that Qiong always used to say: "Human nature is about compromise." For example, right now, Qiong came up and asked for people, and Sunday would definitely scoff at it. But Qiong came up and wanted to die together with Pinocchio, so Sunday's attitude softened unconsciously. After all, no one had ever seen a star core self-destruct, and who knows if Pinocchio could withstand it.

"You must be wondering what I'm going to do. As a reward for your victory, I can talk to you frankly."

Sunday put his left hand behind his back and said that after hearing him say that, Qiong also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​self-destruction. Although he had said it before to scare Sunday, he had so many wives, how could he bear to self-destruct?

“Describing ideas alone is too abstract, so let me give you a simple example. As you may know, in some worlds there is a social system called a two-day weekend or a three-day weekend.”

"Only on such days can people live happily without having to face the law of the jungle. It's just a pity... that two or three days and nights are still too short compared to a long life."

"In my view, the ideal system of society should be a seven-day weekend. The day after Sunday is the second, the third, and even the eternal Sunday. This is the face of the new world, a day of eternal peace and inactivity."

Sunday explained the new world he wanted to create in a way that even March 7th could understand. Everyone understood it and suddenly felt that Sunday was not a bad person. He was not like the villain they had imagined who wanted to destroy the universe and eat people and drink blood.

"Thus, everyone can return to their original place in the paradise of the immortals. They no longer need to bear unnecessary responsibilities or suffer the hardships of reality. Only in this way can humanity face its destined end with the noblest attitude and live a life full of dignity. This is how to live happily."

"Miss Liuying, you who suffer from agenesis, you must understand what this means, right?"

On Sunday, he turned his attention to Firefly, seeking some sense of belonging from her. Because of her physical condition, Firefly probably longed for this carefree world the most.

"Sounds pretty good?"

March 7 scratched her pink hair and said, she couldn't find a way to refute Sunday's words. He looked like he was fighting for the happiness of all mankind. He was simply like a god of war!

"So, Dog Egg, no, Brother-in-law, what is the price?"

Qiong asked, feeling that Sunday's ideals were good, but miracles and magic weren't free; there must be a huge price to pay.

"The price is negligible, just a personal... permanent martyrdom. If this paradise is to be maintained for all, someone must remain in solitary lucidity until the end of the universe."

Sunday explained, and everyone understood: he was the host of the park, and he alone was needed to maintain the park's operation with the power of order, while everyone else just needed to indulge in pleasure.

"Sober, which means that paradise is still a dream. Stepping into paradise means abandoning reality, right?"

Firefly said to Sunday, and considering the current situation of Pinocchio, everyone understood what Sunday's actions were: cancel the setting of waking up from dreams and let everyone sleep until the end of the universe.

"This is not giving up, but transcending. Flesh and blood are weak and vulnerable. If material things are the root of spiritual suffering, then we should overcome them."

On Sunday, with a sorrowful expression, he thought of his sister, for only in this way could he protect the robin.

"Qiong, do you know why robins always wear elaborate necklaces?"

On Sunday, Qiong looked at Qiong and asked. Qiong hadn't paid attention to Robin's attire before, since she looked good in anything.

"Isn't it for the sake of looking good?" Qiong replied.

“She has a bullet hole in her neck. A stray bullet once hit her neck. If it had been slightly off, you wouldn’t be able to see my sister now.”

What Qiong heard on Sunday surprised him greatly. He had never heard of such a thing as a robin. Of course, he didn't know about it.

"Who did it?"

"It's not just an individual's act, but an injustice of the universe. A war has broken out on a planet, which is why the robin chose that place as her destination... To spread harmony and save lives on the planet, she personally went to the front lines. She hoped to soothe people's suffering with her songs and was willing to use her own flesh and blood to support the delivery of the company's relief supplies..."

"That incident taught me that nothing can be protected by simply praying for peace. As long as injustice exists in the world, countless robins will die on battlefields they should not be on, with goodwill toward those savages."

"We both know the robin's personality. Even if you try to persuade her, she won't give up doing these dangerous things. So this is the only way I can protect her."

Sunday explained the main reason for his decision: since his sister was disobedient, the only solution was to create a paradise for her that she would love.

Chapter 117 Hippe: I have high hopes for you

“That’s wrong. The robin wants to live in sober reality, not in the false happiness you’ve created.”

Qiong shook his head and said that he liked robins and of course did not want her to encounter that kind of thing again, but it was no different from building a cage to lock her in, except that the cage was big enough.

Firefly came to Qiong's side, reached out and held his hand, then looked up and looked at Sunday with him.

"In such happiness, people never overcome suffering, and they forever lose the opportunity to overcome suffering. In other words, it is escapism. In my view, it is only natural for people to make choices for themselves, and it is their inherent right."

"Perhaps escapism is the nature of the weak, but who is weak should not be defined by others. In your eyes, should I also be categorized as weak?"

With unwavering resolve and words, Firefly rejected Sunday's paradise. Her words carried a touch of the domineering spirit of a Grammer veteran. No matter how Sunday is categorized, she is a strong person who doesn't need to escape reality.

But Firefly didn't rule out anything. She just didn't want Sunday to define everyone as weaklings who needed his help. The paradise he created was suitable for weaklings who wanted to escape. If they went in voluntarily, the Starry Sky Train would never interfere. But people like Robin couldn't be forcibly dragged in.

Furthermore, Sunday's attitude was quite clear; he didn't give anyone a choice, he just wanted to drag everyone at Pinocchio into a deep sleep.

"Now that Miss Firefly has stated her opinion, the Starry Sky Train will naturally give us our answer."

Himeko said with a smile, she was very satisfied with the answers from Ryuki and Sora, and that was all she wanted to say.

"It's up to you, Qiong. Just as Mr. Mikhail instructed, tell him our choice."

Himeko looked at Sora and said, and Sora nodded. He took out the pioneer hat given to him by Mikhail from the Dream Handbook and put it on his head.

At that moment, Clock Boy appeared from behind Qiong, staring fiercely at Sunday, Mikhail's enemy.

"The Pinocchio in Mikhail's dream definitely does not belong to the Order!"

Qiong's will was unwavering, showing no signs of being swayed by the order. His will was like a shining star in the night sky, attracting the attention of certain star gods.

A gaze from the Star God fell upon this place, and Sunday's face clearly showed a look of astonishment. Everyone looked up and saw a purple divine body emerge. His skin was purple, and he was wearing a black robe woven from stars. Judging from the protrusions on the chest of the robe, his appearance was female.

This star god has a head of smooth white hair, and the irregular star rings behind him are more dazzling than any other color. On his head beneath his hair are three faces. One smiling face is smiling at Qiong, and there are two other faces on the left and right sides. The right face represents angry gnashing of teeth, while the left face is calm silence. At this moment, the fact that he is looking at Qiong with a smile is enough to show that his will is inclined towards praise.

"【Same as】Star God, Hippe."

Himeko uttered the name of the Star God, and everyone on the Starry Sky Train felt a surge of power. Sunday, however, felt the complete opposite. He knew that once Hipe discovered what he had done, a little willpower would be enough to crush him and the Dream Master.

Qiong clearly felt that his destiny was changing. Originally, he was Kripper's lackey and had always protected his destiny, but now the power of his destiny was changing towards harmony. Hipe did not take him away from protecting his destiny, but gave him a different path. Qiong could switch back at any time.

“Sister Hippe, your presence here means you think highly of me, right? I understand. This is the third time already. Actually, I was prepared to break up with Uncle Cripper a long time ago. I was bullied like this in Pinocchio and he didn’t even send a messenger to check on me. Our relationship was already broken. You’re still the best to me.”

Qiong accepted the change in her fate with equanimity. So what if she was a slave to three different families? It was no big deal. She would get used to being watched by the Star God after a while.

"Meeting is fate, so I don't need a gift. After things are settled here, I hope you will marry your son, the robin, to me."

Qiong said to Xipei that he had no experience when he was watched by the Star God before, and he did not think of making any demands. But once you are familiar with someone, you will become an old friend. So you have to try to get some benefits.

"If you don't object, I'll take it as agreement. This is a wedding blessed by the Star God. Let's see who dares to object."

Qiong saw that Xipe was still smiling at her, not with that slightly angry face, and a happy expression on her face.

After Qiong finished making these requests, Hipe's gaze completely disappeared. Everyone's consciousness returned to their own bodies. The glimpse just now was only a moment, not even a second, but everyone was sure that it was not an illusion. At this moment, the harmonious power emanating from Qiong was almost condensing into notes of a harmonious symphony.

Chapter 118 The Final Battle

"That Star God would actually cast a glance at Pinocchio at a time like this... Is it a resonance of pioneering spirit? Or is it that everyone's tacit understanding can even move the Star God?"

Sunday frowned and said that he was not afraid of Hipe, because compared to the size of the Star God, he could not possibly care about the affairs of a Pinocchio. Whether it was the remnants of Order causing trouble or not, even if the Taiyi of Order was really resurrected, no one could imagine what Hipe of Harmony would do. The Star God's thoughts could not be fathomed by human minds.

At this moment, Qiong walked up to Sunday, pointed to her face with both fingers, and looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

On Sunday, Qiong looked away and came to where he was looking, continuing to smile with a cheeky expression.

"what are you up to?"

Sunday asked with a straight face. He wasn't afraid of Qiong's physical attacks, but he was afraid of this kind of mental attack. Before he could completely give up his emotions, Sunday was still very vulnerable.

"I am now on the same path as the one destined by Xi Yin O Yi Si Wu Jiu Si Qiu Ba Yue-Yi Pei Qin, you see."

"Ah."

Sunday nodded. He couldn't deny this fact. Logically speaking, if he were still Tongxie's lackey, he would definitely be jealous to the point of being torn apart by now. Why is it that he has been a dutiful dog for so many years, and Hipe doesn't even know that he exists, while Qiong has only been in Pinocchio for a short time, and Hipe has already set his sights on him? Is that fair?

“Robins are birds of harmony, don’t you think we’re a perfect match?” Qiong said with a smile.

"do not think so."

"Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think. After all this is over, when I tell her my identity and the robin's faith in Hippe, do you think she'll reject me?"

Qiong still smiled as he spoke, his chest heaving with anger on Sunday. He was so angry he was about to faint. He thought Qiong's destructive power had reached its limit, but heaven knows why Xipei came to add fuel to the fire.

"You won't have that chance, because you're about to fall asleep in your dreams with these boring thoughts of yours. I'll make you dream for the rest of your life."

On Sunday, he shouted loudly, his voice distorted with rage. He had nothing to say to Qiong; they should just start fighting.

"So I have a question: Can I marry a robin and have children in my dreams?"

Qiong raised his index finger and asked Sunday. Sunday pondered the question. If he said no, then Qiong's dream would not be happy, which would not be in line with the paradise plan he had mentioned. If he said yes, then he would have to watch his sister being groped by Qiong in his dream, while as the only conscious dreamer, Sunday could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

"I..."

Sunday was so angry he couldn't speak. He chose to ignore Qiong's question and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Grand Theatre."

On Sunday, he only left this message at the same spot, and then there was no further news. He probably went home to look for something like blood pressure medication.

"Sigh, he made the big boss so angry that he rolled his eyes."

March 7th showed an expression of amazement. She felt that Qiong was doing it on purpose, but what Qiong said seemed to make sense. He just wanted a robin as his wife. What was wrong with him? Wasn't it just that his brother-in-law was too stingy?

"As expected of our A-Qiong."

Himeko said helplessly, "But this is a good thing. If you mess with the enemy's mentality before the battle, they are more likely to make wrong decisions."

"Firefly, I just checked the new ability we acquired. It's best used to support you, and Himeko-neechan can use it too. That way, our team is complete."

Qiong looked at Liuying beside him and said that the four-person team was just right. Liuying and Himeko were responsible for output, while Qiong was responsible for support. This was the ability of Tongxie. Moreover, Qiong was not only a support. When encountering danger, he could also throw Star Core Meteor Explosion. This was his own ability and had nothing to do with any destiny. He was a support with output. Sanyueqi was the protector and could add shields. It was simply a perfect combination.

"Yes, A-Qiong, I believe you."

Liu Ying smiled and nodded. The man she had her eye on was indeed extraordinary. To be noticed by the Star God at such a moment was perhaps a typical example of how the times create heroes.

On Sunday, the main body must be inside the Grand Theater. Qiong and the others also boarded the elevator prepared for the champion, transforming directly into light from the moment of hot sand and rising into the interior of the Pinocchio Grand Theater, which was floating in mid-air.
