"Star: Received."
Jiang Lin: +1
Walter: Yeah, I'm nearby.
March 7th: Danheng and I have arrived, and we just happened to pass by.
Danheng: Hmm.
Jiang Lin arrived in front of the Clockwork Boy statue.
By this time, March 7th, Danheng, Walter, and Himeko had arrived.
Beside Walter, a graceful figure with purple hair stood quietly.
On March 7th, she noticed Jiang Lin out of the corner of her eye and quickly waved to him.
"Jiang Lin, we're over here!"
After Jiang Lin approached, the others exchanged a perfunctory greeting and then returned to their previous topic.
"Miss Huang Quan, did you mean you're willing to help the Starry Sky Train?"
Himeko looked towards the underworld.
"Well, for some reason, I reached some consensus with Mr. Walter and am willing to do my part."
Huang Quan spoke calmly, but San Yueqi looked excited.
"Great! With Miss Huang Quan around, we should be able to do whatever we want in Pinocchio, right?"
Dan Heng shook his head. "We cannot let our guard down in March."
Walter agreed:
"Indeed, Pinocchio is shrouded in mystery, and there are quite a few people with ulterior motives. In addition, there is the impending clash between the company and the family. Now is not the time to relax."
March 7th scratched his head. "We were just trying to lighten the mood. By the way, why hasn't Xing arrived yet? I hope something happened to her."
Walter frowned slightly: "That possibility cannot be ruled out."
Himeko thought for a moment, "For the child's safety, I already sent Miss Black Swan to find her, so I don't think there will be any major problems."
Jiang Lin remained silent, simply staring at Huang Quan.
After noticing Jiang Lin, Huang Quan said with a hint of helplessness:
"Even I would feel a little uncomfortable with such a direct gaze."
"Oh, sorry, I was just curious."
Jiang Lin didn't pay much attention, but he also stopped looking at her like that.
Huang Quan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you curious about?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and replied, "I'm curious if you'll like Himeko's coffee."
Upon hearing Jiang Lin's words, Huang Quan was even more confused.
"Is there anything special about Ms. Himeko's coffee?"
Jiang Lin answered without hesitation:
"It's particularly memorable."
Himeko overheard their conversation and smiled slightly: "If Yomi is really interested, I'll definitely ask you to give me your opinion next time you visit the train."
At that moment, a black swan suddenly appeared, accompanied by a bewildered Xing.
"Gentlemen, I have successfully brought her back safely."
The black swan looked at the group with a faint smile.
But when she saw Jiang Lin and Huang Quan, her pupils trembled slightly, after all, she couldn't afford to offend either of them.
But on the surface, nothing seemed to have changed. "These two must be Miss Huang Quan and Mr. Jiang Lin, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."
Xing finally came to her senses at this moment.
"I was tricked by Sambo... uh, no, I should say Hanabi."
As she spoke, Xing looked at Jiang Lin and said, "How about we send her a big rocket?"
March 7th had some doubts: "Jiang Lin would send rockets? Isn't he very poor? Also, why would he send rockets?"
Xing also looked at Jiang Lin with some doubt, "You didn't tell them?"
Jiang Lin shook his head. "I haven't told anyone about this."
What kind of riddle are you playing?
Chapter 58 The storm is coming
Walter and the others looked over with some curiosity, but Jiang Lin simply said:
"They're just some trivial skills, at most they just look cool."
Seeing that Jiang Lin was unwilling to say anything more, the others did not ask any further questions, so Ji Zi looked at Xing again.
"Could you tell me what you've been through before?"
Xing thought for a moment, then said simply and clearly:
"A friend and I were caught in a firework trap, and when we woke up, we were in a very strange place."
"Hanabi said, 'That's a real Pinocchio…'"
Black Swan then added, "It is indeed a peculiar memory realm, but she is also quite special, as she was not affected by that primordial dream."
"Fireworks..." Himeko pondered for a moment, then looked at the black swan. "Do you know her?"
The black swan's lips curled slightly upward, exuding confidence.
“Of course, I know everyone here. In Pinocchio, everyone can lie, but memory doesn’t.”
"Really not?"
Jiang Lin asked with some curiosity.
The black swan's upturned lips froze instantly, and she answered somewhat cautiously:
"Um... probably not..."
On March 7th, Xing was quietly chirping crickets:
"Isn't she a professional in this area? Why does she seem so insecure? Do you think she might have suffered some kind of trauma?"
Xing thought for a moment and said, "She's actually quite capable, isn't she? If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be where I am today."
Himeko spoke up at this moment, bringing the topic back on track.
"Everyone, please share the results you found in your dreams."
The black swan nodded and spoke directly:
"Let me state the conclusion first. The so-called dreamland is actually the result of the family's meticulous maintenance through some unknown means, a well-designed dream."
And the realm of memories she fell into—that was the true nature of dreams: a chaotic, dangerous, mysterious, and unpredictable labyrinth inhabited by the beasts of memory.
Upon hearing this, Himeko and Welt fell into deep thought. They realized that the details they had seen along the way could indeed explain this.
"Pinocone's dream is sinking, returning to its original form...plunging into the deep sea."
Black Swan seemed to have regained her confidence, and her face under the veil seemed to brighten up.
Walter nodded. "That explains the incongruity in the family's words."
Himeko thought for a moment, then asked Black Swan again:
“Miss Black Swan, we have seen your sincerity, but please allow me to inquire in detail: what exactly are Yi Ting's reasons for choosing to cooperate with the Starry Sky Train?”
Black Swan's expression also turned serious:
"Please allow me to correct something... This is my personal request and does not represent Yi Ting."
The answer is obvious: many people are looking for me now. Yi Ting can't give me the sense of security I want, but the Starry Sky Train has that influence, making them hesitant to act.
And then there are your memories, so brilliant, that I must cherish them dearly.
Black Swan then changed the subject, deciding to add more weight to her position: "Besides, the help a memory-taker can provide in Pinocene is absolutely not to be underestimated, is it?"
Himeko nodded slightly and looked at the others. Seeing that they had no objections, she replied:
"I understand. Let's talk about other things."
At this moment, Dan Heng took the initiative to speak:
“I have been deliberately observing the movements of the family in my dreams. The members of the hound family have become unusually active recently, and according to my investigation, it is at the request of Mr. Sunday.”
March 7th was somewhat bewildered at this moment:
"Huh? Weren't we together after getting off the bus? When did you start your investigation?"
Dan Heng said helplessly, "You've been shopping there the whole time, so I haven't bothered you."
Walter then took over the conversation:
“It is indeed strange. I have also investigated the members of the Oak family, and I found that they disappeared quickly not long ago.”
Xing thought for a moment: "Maybe it's to cope with the pressure from the company?"
March 7th was a bit confused. "But do the Oak family members even have fighting abilities? They can't possibly combine their powers, can they?"
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard what March 7th said. He couldn't figure out the principle behind it, so he looked at Huang Quan, who had been silent all along.
She... seems to be spacing out?
Meanwhile, in a room at the hotel, Sand Gold, Toppa, and Ladio were all gathered together.
"There are no more spies around now, can you tell me your plan?"
Sand Gold looked at Topa across from him and asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, our original goal was to have a place at Pinocchio's table. Now that the cornerstone has been lost, the company has every reason to enter the market aggressively."
Ladio then spoke up:
