Chapter 425 Gathering
Chapter 425 Gathering
"Gold dust?" A strange look flashed across Dan Heng's face.
"Is it that gold-digging guy who likes to risk his life? I even had a deal with him once," Black Swan recalled.
Emerald nodded. "Yes."
"So I would like to ask you all to take us into the dream to investigate the situation."
“This…” The black swan pondered in silence.
"In that case, please take one of us too!"
Suddenly a bright voice rang out.
At some point, Hanabi appeared in a seat next to everyone.
"You are... the Masked Fool?" Black Swan recognized Hanabi's identity.
"Wow, darling, you're amazing! I didn't expect you to recognize me so quickly!" Hanabi was overjoyed.
"I'm afraid no one else could have gotten here so quietly except you." Black Swan had encountered quite a few Masked Fools before, so she knew what kind of people they were.
"Tell me, why did you join Pinocchio?" Black Swan continued.
“There’s no why. Fools never need a why.” Hanabi crossed her arms, her eyes sparkling.
Just then, footsteps sounded again at the door.
"Sorry I'm late."
Sambo rushed in covered in wall dust, with debris still clinging to his shoulders.
"And who are you?" Black Swan was now completely bewildered.
Why are they all showing up uninvited?
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Old Sambo, and you can buy anything you want from me."
Upon seeing so many people, Sambo was immediately overcome with excitement and eagerly bowed to introduce himself.
“Sangbo…” Danheng seemed to be deep in thought.
"Oh! I remember now, you're the shameless, cunning businessman Eve was talking about."
As soon as Dan Heng said this, all eyes in the room turned to Sang Bo.
Sambo couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, "Hahaha, Sister Eve, that's what you said about me."
He realized something was wrong, "No, I'm not a swindler!"
"So you're shameless?" Jing Yuan's eyes showed doubt.
"Haha, how can you say that? It's for better customer service, right, Fireworks?" Sangbo laughed shamelessly.
Hanabi turned her head away and declined Sambo's request to connect.
"Hey, you!" Sangbo was speechless.
"It's alright, I, Old Sambo, am a model of being able to bend and stretch."
"Everyone, I have a high-tech product from the planet Nibia. Everywhere there's scorching heat at 800 degrees Celsius, so the people of Nibia, with the combined efforts of their entire race, spent thousands of years creating this product: the Nibia Oven!!"
"This product is the culmination of Nibiya's wisdom! The oven temperature reaches up to 800 degrees! It's absolutely your kitchen essential and a cake-making master! Purchase it now for only 90,000 credits, not 9 million or 900,000! Don't miss this opportunity!"
Sambo spoke with great enthusiasm, and even Toppa was somewhat persuaded by him.
It just so happens that my eco-ship is missing such a powerful oven.
"This oven..."
"Wait," Emerald called out before Toppa could speak.
"What's wrong, Lady Emerald?" Toppa asked, puzzled.
Don't you think there's something wrong with this oven?
"The average temperature on Nibiya is 800 degrees Celsius, and this oven is also 800 degrees Celsius. So what is its significance to the Nibiya people?" Emerald asked.
"Yes!" Jing Yuan, who had just been moved by the same feeling, also realized it.
Dan Heng, who was standing to the side, seemed to have anticipated something.
"Damn it, is this guy sure he's not trying to scam us?" Potio realized as well.
The fireworks in the distance are waiting to be entertained.
“Good question, ma’am!” Sambo suddenly turned around and said.
"That's where your misunderstanding comes in."
"Heh..." Emerald showed a disdainful expression. She had worked her way up in the company for so many years, and this was the first person to say that she didn't understand.
"Then please explain to me, Mr. Sambo, what did the Nibia aliens invent this oven for?" Emerald Temperature.
"If the temperature inside and outside the oven is the same, what's the point of this product?"
“To make storage boxes,” Sambo said without hesitation.
Jade fell silent.
Everyone remained silent throughout.
That seems to make sense...
"Give me one," Emerald said after a long silence.
"Alright, thank you for your patronage!" Sambo rubbed his hands together, his face displaying the expression of a shrewd businessman.
"Huh? Ms. Emerald, you..." Toppa looked somewhat bewildered.
Didn't Jade just advise her not to buy it? How come she bought one herself?
Emerald turned her head and gave Toppa a reassuring smile.
Then she continued to say to Sambo, "In that case, I'd like to take a look at its storage function."
"Mr. Sambo, would you be so kind as to demonstrate?"
“Of course, no problem, my dear friend,” Sambo readily agreed.
What do you want to pack?
Emerald smiled at him and said, "You."
"Me?" Sambo pointed at himself, his smile instantly freezing.
The next second, he appeared in a flash at the doorway of the room. "Oh dear, I'm just too busy."
"I have another order for Zambia Star here, let's talk about it next time."
Before Sambo could even take a step, he was suddenly entangled by a snake.
"Huh? A snake?"
Sambo looked closely and suddenly realized that the snake under his feet had somehow turned into a whip.
With a sudden pull, Jade dragged Sambo back.
“Come on, give it a try.” Emerald looked at him with a smile, with the oven right next to her.
Good heavens, this is the first time I've ever seen someone actually scammed.
What kind of situations haven't I seen in the company?
Hanabi watched this scene with great interest.
Old Sambo has become a source of amusement again.
“Haha…” Sangbo smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Madam, how about... you try another one of my products, a refrigerator from the Frozen Planet? This refrigerator is also..."
"stop!"
The central government has reached its breaking point regarding the black swan event.
How did things turn out so messy?
All eyes turned to her.
Black Swan looked helpless. "You all want to get into Pinocchio, right?"
"Then you must follow the rules."
"Once we enter Pinocene, follow my instructions."
"Is everything alright?" Black Swan's gaze swept across the entire room.
“We have no problem,” Jing Yuan said, taking the lead.
“We can accept that too.” Emerald also agreed to Black Swan’s terms.
“For the sake of a balanced will, it’s all worth it.” Adek nodded.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Potio.
“Why are you all looking at me, my precious darling? You’re my informant!” Potio immediately said, which meant he agreed.
Everyone then turned their attention to Sambo, who was tied up.
“Don’t look at me, she’s the one who sent me here,” Sangbo said, pointing to the fireworks.
"Of course I agree! Such an interesting older sister must be a lot of fun."
Hanabi sat backwards in the chair, her eyes crinkling when she smiled.
"Okay." The black swan nodded, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
“However, I need you to tell me in advance what exactly you will be doing inside Pinocone,” Black Swan continued.
She's not afraid of anything else, but she's afraid that there might be some incompetent teammates among them.
After thinking for a moment, Emerald said, "Our primary goal is to enter the dream world to find Director Eve, and also to learn about the current situation of Pinocone."
Besides providing intelligence on the fleet's arrival, Director Eve is also of paramount importance.
They had to ensure the safety of Director Eve; this was an order given to them by Diamond.
Jingyuan added, "We need to find Eve, a member of the train, and Miss Huangquan."
Besides Potio's request, Jingyuan also learned from Mianmian about Eve's disappearance.
This is one of the reasons why he voluntarily requested to enter the dream.
Sambo looked at them with some surprise, "You're also looking for Sister Eve?"
“I am not,” Adekter said.
"I'll only find out who I'm looking for when I enter the dream."
The black swan was even more bewildered upon seeing this.
If we had known we all had the same goal, why have we made such a fuss?
However, all these factions and forces are actually here for one person.
She even had a vague feeling that the person Adekt was looking for was also Miss Eve.
"Never mind..." The black swan was exhausted.
"Alright, everyone line up and enter the dream one by one."
.....................................
The land of exile, Dream Reef.
Huang Quan led the train crew through the dark alleyways.
Suddenly, Walter Young noticed something.
“How did the doorman of the ‘Daydream’ Hotel end up here?” Walter Young was very puzzled.
“Misha?” Hoshi also saw Misha.
Misha noticed them and greeted them.
"Oh, it's our previous guest, we meet again! And a new friend... I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Misha, the hotel doorman."
"Hello, Misha, my name is Walter. We met in the dream..."
"Hmm? Who is this person next to you...?" Walter Young noticed the clock next to Misha.
"Tick-tock! Old friend and new friend, let's give each other a high five!" Clock Boy jumped up, the alarm clock on his face buzzing.
"Uncle Yang can see it?" Xing was somewhat surprised.
Huang Quan, standing to the side, also showed a look of surprise.
"You are... Memoir of the Memory Realm?" Walter Young speculated.
Misha shook her head. "No. Watch Boy is my good friend, and our home is here."
"And how did these guests get here? Logically, this dream world shouldn't be open to the public... Could it be 'Mianmian'?"
"You said this is your home?" Walter Young asked, somewhat puzzled.
Misha nodded. "Yes. I'll go home after my work at Meimeng is finished."
“Transportation used to be quite convenient, but ever since we couldn’t travel freely, Mianmian has been carrying people back and forth between the two dream worlds.”
"However, Mianmian is also gone now."
“Every time we go home, we can only walk through the ‘crack’,” Misha said dejectedly, as did the clock boy beside him.
“Mianmian? Who is that ‘Mianmian’... Can you describe what it looks like?” Walter Yang realized that something was wrong.
Misha continued to explain, "Mianmian is a Memoir from the Memory Realm. It looks fierce and has many big eyes. But it is actually very obedient. Galakh has always been the one taking care of Mianmian."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
It seems like his description is of the Memory Realm Memoir that Eve subdued.
“I think I understand.” Walter Young paused.
"Has it brought any guests back in the last day or two? In fact, we are investigating a case of disappearance from a dream."
To verify his suspicions, Walter Young asked the question.
"A person? What person?" Misha was a little confused.
“For example, Miss Robin.” Walter Young’s eyes were filled with a cold glint.
“No, Miss Robin has never been here before.” Misha shook her head.
“Strange…” Walter Young replied, feeling somewhat insecure.
"And what about the white-haired lady?"
“No, not at all.” Misha shook her head.
“These past few days I’ve been coming back with my friends, right?” Misha glanced at the clock boy.
“This is not right…” Walter Young pondered.
"Uncle Yang, what's wrong?" March 7th asked.
"If it's really as Miss Eve said, that Mianmian was just a means of transportation and not a dead person... then all the people who died in Pinocchio should have come here."
“But Sand Gold…” Xing said from the side.
Walter Young shook his head and sighed, "It seems that my previous assumptions were all wrong."
“Misha, do you know any way to get out of here?” Walter Young continued to ask.
"Leave here? The only way out now is through the crack in the city center."
"However, the rift won't open until tomorrow morning," Misha estimated.
"Tomorrow morning? That means..." March 7th realized something.
"When the Harmonious Music Ceremony begins," Walter Young's gaze turned cold.
He knew exactly what Xingxiao wanted to do: to use the Harmonious Music Ceremony to destroy the Harmonious Star God.
Therefore, they must stop Starsong before the situation worsens.
"Is there any way to do it in advance?" Xing asked anxiously.
Misha shook her head. "No."
"If we had Mianmian, none of this would be a problem."
Just as the train crew was sighing and lamenting, a dream passage suddenly opened beside them.
