People playing with figurines on Star Railway

The train in the painting is indeed the Star Train, and the large face looks more like the exposed back of some kind of giant monsters huddled together, judging from the background...

No matter how Danheng looked at it, the background seemed to resemble the interior of the Pinocchio Grand Theatre.

"Sorry to bother you."

Dan Heng slowly opened his mouth to ask.

"Ok?"

The blue-haired girl paused for a moment, blinked blankly, and then looked at Dan Heng.

"Uncle... what's the matter?"

"Uncle..." Dan Heng's lips twitched, and he coughed lightly, "I wonder how you drew this scene?"

"I don't know, I just drew it like this."

"..."

Chapter 146 Old friends all came out in groups

Dan Heng had a lot to say, but after seeing the obviously bewildered girl in front of him and the boy next to her who seemed to exude a chuunibyou (delusional) aura, he swallowed his words.

His intuition told him that even if he asked, the girl in front of him wouldn't give him any answer.

"Forget it, it's okay."

Dan Heng waved his hand and left with a sense of helplessness.

Greta looked at Danheng's retreating figure, her eyes thoughtful.

"I'm thinking of drawing a cartoon of this uncle."

"........."

Hearing Gretchen's words, Kosmo, who was standing to the side, silently took a step back.

At that moment, he had a strong urge to hide himself in the crowd.

Dan Heng was unaware of these things. He simply walked on silently, vaguely sensing that Pinocchio seemed to have undergone some unknown and unpredictable change.

But he didn't know where this change came from.

"Joachim!!! Do you know how worried we were while you were gone?"

"That's it!"

Dan Heng was walking when he suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from ahead.

The voice was full of anger, and a boy's voice echoed it.

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng looked up, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Somewhat incredulous at what they were seeing, they even rubbed their eyes.

Not far ahead, Mr. Walter, who was usually mature and composed on the train, was now kneeling on the ground, looking down at the ground as if he were being reprimanded.

In front of him stood a girl with red pigtails and glasses, and next to her stood a little boy.

At this moment, the girl with glasses was loudly scolding Walter in front of her, as if she was venting her long-suppressed anger.

Dan Heng looked at all this with some confusion, but still silently approached.

Walter was a little confused, but also quite pleased.

He was certain that Tesla and Joe were both from his hometown and the two people who had been searching for him ever since he left.

Even if the two people in front of me are not the real body, this is enough.

"Walter...Mr.?"

Just as Walter was enjoying someone's reprimand, Danheng's slightly hesitant voice came from the side.

In an instant, Walter's entire body froze.

He suddenly looked up and gazed at the source of the sound.

He saw Dan Heng looking at him with a complicated expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Ok?"

Tesla was still loudly scolding Walter when he heard someone call Walter's name and immediately turned around.

"who are you?"

Tesla looked at Danheng without any hesitation and asked a question.

“Hello, madam.” Danheng nodded to Tesla. “My name is Danheng, and I’m Mr. Walter’s companion. May I ask, has Mr. Walter offended you in any way?”

In Dan Heng's view, the fact that this mature and steady Walter was reprimanded in such a way most likely means that he had offended an unreasonable person.

Otherwise, given Walter's emotional intelligence and methods, it would have been impossible for him to stage such an outrageous incident of being scolded and watched by others.

"Hehe... comrade~"

Tesla looked directly at Walter, his gaze seemingly sharpening.

grunt.

Whether it was a trick of the mind or not, Danheng thought he heard Walter swallowing.

Taking a deep breath, Tesla calmed his anger and looked at Dan Heng.

“Hello, Mr. Danheng. I am this man’s wife, Frederica Nikola Tesla. This is our child, Geoffrey Joyce Young.”

As Danheng listened to Tesla's self-introduction, he felt as if all the wrinkles in his brain had been smoothed out.

This isn't some case of Walter offending someone he shouldn't have; it's purely a family matter for Walter. Why is he getting involved?

"Ahem, Mr. Danheng. Although it's presumptuous of me, may I ask you something?"

Upon hearing Tesla's words, Dan Heng straightened up, and his expression became much more serious.

"Ms. Tesla, please speak."

"Well, Xiao Qiao and I just took a nap and ended up here from our hometown. Could you tell me where this place is? And what about this guy... um, Walter's situation here?"

Tesla's question surprised Dan Heng.

Judging from this, Mr. Walter's wife didn't use the Dream Pool... no, it seems she doesn't even know the rules here.

As for Walter's situation, he had previously said that he was looking for a way to return to his hometown, so it's understandable that he couldn't send his message back.

"So this is it. This is Pinocchio, a land of dreams. Almost everyone here comes here using the Dream Pool..."

Tesla listened to many explanations and nodded thoughtfully.

"So you mean this is a dream world, and Xiao Qiao and I are dreaming here, not in reality?"

"No, this is the real place, but your bodies are constructed of memory matter, while your consciousnesses are those that have crossed regional limitations to arrive here." Dan Heng paused here, "In other words, the moment your physical bodies awaken, your consciousnesses here will also leave."

Tesla nodded; she listened to the explanations and roughly understood some of the things.

That means Walter's disappearance wasn't voluntary; he came here and can't go back!

The reason why Xiao Qiao and I arrived here was entirely accidental, as our consciousness crossed some kind of limitation and arrived in this dream world.

In short, Walter had entered an extraordinary world system.

I was thinking about that.

Then a lively and energetic voice came from the side.

"Huh? Dr. Tesla? And...Professor Walter?!"

Walter was initially relieved that Danheng's appearance had diverted Tesla's attention from him.

The sound that came through left him completely stunned.

He slowly turned his head and saw three girls walking slowly towards him, storing ice cream, snacks and desserts.

One had white hair, one had purple hair, and one had silver-gray hair.

The girl who made the sound was the white-haired girl.

"Kiana? Mei? And...Bronya?"

Walter stared blankly at the three people who had come into view, feeling completely uneasy.

Seeing Otto before, and now seeing Kevin, Tesla, and Joe, can all be interpreted as some kind of projection.

But now, we see this trio again.

Walter even felt that he might not have ever left the Earth's boundaries.

Why is it that, without me even realizing it, all my old friends have suddenly appeared in groups?

Chapter 147 Electric Mei is still Mei, right?

Walter's brain is now essentially a blank slate.

What's going on here?

"Professor Walter?"

Kiana, the white-haired girl, looked at Welt with some curiosity and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Although things on Earth are still a mess, it's not a big deal for this Herrscher of the End.

So, her dream led her to Pinocchio, and unexpectedly, she was with Mei and Bronya, which somewhat eased her mind.

While I was enjoying this dreamlike place, I unexpectedly encountered the long-lost former leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

Kiana, what are you doing here?

Compared to Walter's unresponsive mind, Tesla next to him is much more rational.

In reality, it was simply that Walter, the traveler, saw some familiar faces in the place he was traveling to, and his brain just shut down.

Tesla, on the other hand, is based in its home market, so it didn't have the same sense of surprise as Walter.

Therefore, she is only asking Kiana questions now, instead of scolding Welt as she did when they met.

"Huh? Mei and Bronya are here too."

She noticed the other two people standing beside her and spoke up, somewhat surprised.

"Hello, Dr. Tesla."

Upon hearing this, the two greeted each other.

At that moment, Bronya noticed that the handsome young man standing there was staring at her and seemed to be frowning.

She glanced at Danheng with a somewhat strange look.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Bronya now prefers to take the initiative rather than wait for the other party to speak.

Dan Heng also realized at this moment that his gaze seemed a bit impolite.

"Sorry, when I saw you, I thought I saw someone I knew."

"Oh? Does that person look a lot like me?"

Danheng nodded, took out his phone from his pocket, and opened a photo that March 7 had sent him.

Bronya looked at the photos on Danheng's phone and was also somewhat speechless.

That appearance was exactly the same as mine.

No wonder the other person was staring at me blankly.

Kiana and Mei were also somewhat surprised to see Bronya in the photo.

"It really is, Bronya. That person looks just like you."

“My friend is also named Bronya.”

Dan Heng then spoke up as well.

Upon hearing this, the trio exchanged glances, all showing interest.

"I don't know who this is..."

"My name is Dan Heng."

"Mr. Danheng, could you tell us your story? And also, let me know what this guy is up to here?"
