Steampunk trailer: Panda Mouse's Gear Crisis
Amid the roar of gears in the space-time rift, Xiaodou felt his tail replaced by metal gears, and clockwork parts were mixed into the fluffy panda fur - he turned into a gear mouse, with a furry pad on his left paw and a precision gear on his right paw. When his tail was rolled up, it could actually make a "click-click" mechanical sound.
"Welcome to the world of steampunk~" The chip of the mechanical cat flickered in the smoke of gears. "The rules here are: mechanical hearts replace emotions, sweetness is contraband, and your fur..."
"It's hard currency on the black market." Bai Shenyuan (Lin Shen's personality) pushed up his steam goggles. He wore a gear engineer's leather apron, and from his pocket, a mold for osmanthus cake condensed from foxfire appeared. "Look up at the sky."
Xiaodou looked up and saw a giant mechanical bird flying by, dragging a "No Sweetness" banner. Citizens wore gas masks, with mechanical prosthetic eyes peeking out from the gaps in their masks. Each eye reflected the same slogan: "Bitterness makes gears stronger, sweetness is the beginning of rust."
- Ling Yuan: A steam knight, he hides a candy revolver under his cape, and his bullets are exploding marshmallows;
- Bai Yan: A dessert vendor who pushes a mobile osmanthus cake cart with a bell remade from a demon world bell;
- Lin Shen: A gear engineer who designs the heart for the Mechanical Queen, but actually secretly cracks the steam core.
"Hair-shedding monster, your tail can be used as a key!" Snowball (the mechanical cat detective) suddenly appears, with "Dessert Inspection Team" engraved on his badge. "The Mechanical Queen's castle requires the gear mouse's tail to enter."
On the auction block in the underground black market, the auctioneer held up a tuft of golden fur. "The fur of the Concept Rat can give a mechanical heart the ability to feel emotions. Starting price: 100,000 Gear Coins!"
Xiaodou clenched his fists—that was the hair he'd lost in Storybrooke. Lin Shen's personality pulled up black market information, his pupils constricting. "Buyer ID: Future Guardian, Coordinates: Concept Mouse Research Institute, 2149."
"So, I'm still imprisoned in the future..." Xiaodou choked, and the gear tail unconsciously rolled up the corner of Bai Shenyuan's apron. "We must stop them!"
Bai Yan's personality suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered in the demon world's fox language: "Don't worry, there is an interstellar tracker hidden in my osmanthus cake mold."
Lin Shen's personality received an invitation from the Mechanical Queen, signed "Qingluan·P·Mechanical Heart"—Qingluan was the Phoenix Clan elder from the Demon Realm arc, who had previously opposed Bai Yan and Xiaodou's marriage. In the castle hall, the Queen's mechanical heart beat with dark chocolate syrup, and within a glass jar within her chest floated fragments of the Concept Rat Clan's starlight.
"Engineer Lin Shen," the queen placed her mechanical claws on his shoulders. "I heard you can make the heart feel sweet?"
Ling Yuan's personality hid behind a pillar, and Candy's revolver aimed at the Queen's heart—which was made of fragments of the demon chain. Xiaodou suddenly discovered that the pattern of the Queen's mechanical eye was exactly the same as Su Tang's mechanical eye in the Star Wars chapter, and her crown was embedded with fragments of the throne's eye.
Before the auction ended, Xiaodou received a letter from the future. When he opened it, a yellowed photo fell out: an adult Tanggao wearing a gear mouse armor, standing in the ruins, holding up a piece of osmanthus cake. On the cake, there was a message written in chocolate: "Mom and Dad, don't trust the heart of the mechanical queen!"
Lin Shen's personality suddenly pressed down on Xiaodou's gear claws, tears flashing under his steam goggles: "The background of this photo is the demon world destroyed by the Heavenly Dao..."
The Queen's mechanical heart suddenly went berserk, splattering dark chocolate onto Xiaodou's fur, etching a pattern that resembled the character "Prisoner." Bai Shenyuan's three personalities simultaneously activated combat mode. Ling Yuan's cotton candy bullets exploded into blossoms, Bai Yan's osmanthus cake cart erupted in foxfire, and Lin Shen seized the opportunity to plunge Xiaodou's gear claws into the Queen's heart.
