People playing with figurines on Star Railway

"General!"

"star!!!"

Chapter 132 Death is not the end, but the beginning...

Empress Liuying looked at the figure behind her who had pierced her chest with the lance of protection, and surprisingly, a smile appeared in her eyes.

Her voice was a little dry, but it carried a smile.

"You...you finally came to my side on your own initiative!"

"Shut up, you lunatic!"

Xing's eyes, however, revealed an indescribable anger and sorrow.

Even if the other party has the face of a firefly, they should never have dragged A-Yu into this.

He even killed Ayu.

"A madman...?"

Empress Liu Ying looked at the stars, her lips curving upwards, which eventually turned into an uncontrollable burst of wild laughter.

"Yes, you're insane! I've been insane for a long time!!!"

Empress Liuying suddenly twisted her body, completely unconcerned even though her body was brutally severed by the lance piercing her chest.

Organs slid down the incision and onto the ground, but her gaze towards Ah Xing remained unchanged.

She opened her arms and hugged Xing tightly.

"Only you, only you belong to me! No one... no one can take you away!"

"is it?"

Just as Xing was being tightly embraced by Empress Liuying's hands, a slightly illusory figure suddenly appeared behind her.

In that instant, both the firefly that was about to give chase and the star that was being held widened their eyes.

Because that figure was none other than Xing himself.

However, this star was covered in blood, its form was illusory, and it was constantly emitting specks of light.

"you……"

Just as Xing was about to speak, he saw that Xing shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, to Liu Ying's astonishment, a thick golden light emanated from his body, which she clearly saw.

That was a star core.

However, this star core is very illusory.

Even though it is illusory, the star core still provides some stability to this illusory star form.

She grabbed Empress Liuying's hands with both hands, forcefully pried them apart, and kicked out, sending her other self flying.

star:? ? ?

"what?!"

Empress Liuying turned her head and saw the illusory star behind her.

Her expression froze instantly.

This...this is...

"What, you don't recognize me anymore?"

The illusory star simply smiled gently.

But the emotion contained within that smile was incredibly heavy.

She ignored Empress Firefly, whom she had captured, and instead looked toward the stars.

"Hey, my other self!"

"Ok?"

As Xing fell to the ground, just as he was about to continue his quest to settle scores with Empress Liuying, he heard his illusory self calling out.

Looking up, I saw the illusory stars smiling softly at me.

"Your Ayu... is still alive!"

Having left behind these words, she suddenly merged into the body of Empress Liuying.

Empress Liu Ying was startled, feeling the violent power surging from the inside of her body, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha... So, it turns out you've always been by my side, right here with me."

boom!

A terrifying explosion was detonated centered on Empress Firefly.

But this terrifying explosion did not cause even the slightest damage to Pinocchio; instead, it silently created an invisible ripple.

Wherever the ripples reached, all the insect swarms were silently erased, transformed into their original memory essence, and merged into this memory essence dream. Even the enormous insect nest, from which terrifying stinging insects crawled out, disappeared without a trace as the ripples approached.

Those infected with the Deli Sha virus and affected by the ripples seemed to have their terrifying virus swept away by an invisible force, leaving them standing there in a daze.

But the firefly that was closest to it was blown away by the explosion.

After an initial moment of confusion, Silver Wolf swiftly appeared beside Firefly and used Ether Editing to take her and Firefly away from the area.

Although there was a mistake in the script, there were no problems with the rest of the script.

Xing looked at the gradually calming scene with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Ah Yu...

still alive?

But...where is he?

As for that illusory self, Xing strongly suspects that it is another version of herself from another world who was tortured by Empress Liuying to the point of self-destructing her star core.

Drop drop!

A message from my phone.

Xing took out her phone and glanced at it blankly.

This message came from an account with garbled characters.

Death is not the end, but the beginning...

Her pupils contracted sharply. Was death not the end, but the beginning?

Could it be that A-Yu, who was supposed to be killed by Empress Liu Ying, is not actually dead?

But what happened at the beginning...?

Wait, this is the dream world.

I understand!

Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

What is the relationship between death in the dream world and the real world?

Ah Yu should be awake now, in the reality of Pinocchio.

It must be so.

Xing, who felt she had figured out all the answers, breathed a sigh of relief.

She slumped onto the bench, feeling her hands trembling.

"Xing, are you alright?"

The voice of March 7th came from beside me.

Xing turned her head and saw that March 7 and Dan Heng were standing beside her, while Himeko and Welt were also walking towards her not far away.

"No...it's okay."

Xing took a deep breath and smiled at March 7th.

"But... Liu Yu, he..."

On March 7th, I also saw that Liu Yu was pierced through the chest by Empress Liu Ying, and his body disappeared in the form of bubbles.

“It’s alright, March.” Xing shook her head. “Don’t forget, this is a dream world. Death… doesn’t exist here.”

Hearing Xing's words, March 7th and Danheng exchanged a glance and also felt that it made a lot of sense.

After all, what does the stuff in a dream have to do with reality?

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought Ah Xing would be devastated by this, and as Liu Yu's companions, they couldn't bear to be sad.

"Xing, are you alright?"

Himeko came to his side and hugged A-Xing tightly. Her broad chest almost made A-Xing unable to breathe.

Walter, standing to the side, had a somewhat complicated expression.

Whether it was the matter between Ah Xing and Empress Liu Ying, or the death of Liu Yu, for Walter, none of these things were as shocking as the Theresa virus that resembled Theresa.

God knows what he felt when he saw that army of Delilah, who looked like mentally challenged zombies.

But now, because Empress Liuying and the illusory Axing have both vanished, he can't find anything to ask.

After all, if you ask, neither Ah Xing nor Sam the monster who was taken away by Silver Wolf would know that Theresa is stupid... cough cough, Theresa.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Ah Xing, waving his arms and legs excitedly, finally broke free from Himeko's embrace, panting heavily.

"Is Ah Xing alright?"

"Yes, about Liu Yu..."

"It's alright, Ah Yu should be fine."

Xing waved his hand.

That's what they say, but Xing herself doesn't know the exact answer.

"what?"

Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance, both wondering if A-Xing had lost the ability to express emotions due to excessive grief.

"It's really alright. Don't forget, this is a dream world. What do things in dreams have to do with reality?"

"That... seems to make sense!"

Chapter 133 Figurines: Pleasure in the Underworld

At this moment, Liu Yu was silently watching all of this, chuckling to himself.

This whole show he directed has probably left Sunday and Gopher Wood completely bewildered.

After all, these two guys were meticulously preparing for the rebirth of [Order] Taiyi and directing the grand show of Pinocchio. However, before the show even started, the nearly extinct breeding reappeared and the strange meme virus appeared.

This will likely make those two suspicious for a while.

During this period, I have a lot of room to maneuver in terms of what I can prepare and what I can plan.

In fact, just as Liu Yu had suspected, Gopher and Sunday were becoming increasingly suspicious of each other.

"Unexpectedly, breeding, which had almost completely disappeared, has reappeared."

On Sunday, he was pacing back and forth in his office, somewhat absent-minded.

"Breeding is a minor matter; the ultimate goal is that meme virus. I analyzed it, and that meme doesn't seem to have been created by the original doctor at all. It's as if it was born out of thin air, and the range of infection is extremely terrifying, with very strange patterns."

"Oh?"

On Sunday, listening to Gopher's analysis, I became somewhat interested, but after thinking for a moment, I spoke up again.

"I'm actually more concerned about the last few people who take action than the virus itself."

"Those few..."

Gofemu pondered for a moment, thinking of those who ultimately suppressed Empress Liuying, although he hadn't seen their specific figures.
