Chapter 87: Death of a Mockingbird
Lu Qi spent some time communicating with the Star Core Hunter and initially gained his trust.
If she were to say, such a pure and gullible girl should not be sent out on the mission. If she had bad intentions, she would probably have buried the girl in the dirt.
Fortunately, Lu Qi is a good person.
The first thing the good guy did after exiting the Dreamland Hotel was check his phone. There were some brief discussions in the train group chat. Perhaps out of fear of leaving traces, the Starry Sky Train crew preferred face-to-face communication.
Next was the seminar between the Starry Sky Trains. Lu Qi tactfully did not attend, but told everyone in the group that if they needed help, remember to find her.
"What a busy day," Lu Qi replied, then collapsed on the sofa with a sigh. "I'm clearly here on vacation... Why are there conspiracies everywhere?"
She mumbled and turned over, lying lazily on the pillow like a caterpillar.
Her long snow-white hair was scattered on the seat, with the ends hanging down, almost falling onto the carpet like a waterfall.
Dan Feng stretched out his hand, and the condensed stream of water gathered Lu Qi's hair and placed it steadily next to her cheek.
Lord Long Zun, who didn't think there was anything wrong with his image at all, stuck out his tongue like a fool and finally tasted the water flow produced by the Cloud Chanting Technique.
Wow, there is no smell. It is just pure water... or water vapor condensed from the air.
There was really no surprise in the taste.
Lu Qi hung his head in disappointment.
Dan Feng: "...What are you doing?"
"I'm curious about the taste," Lu Qi said without blinking, "I've tasted mine, but not yours."
Dan Feng: “…”
He often felt that Lu Qi's IQ was not high, and there was a reason for that. However, she sometimes appeared to be very insightful and saw things clearly, but when it came to small things, she acted like a child who had not grown up.
Forget it... Lu Qi is young anyway.
"What are you going to do next?" Dan Feng asked, changing the subject.
"I always feel like I've been playing in Pinocchio for a long time," Lu Qi didn't answer directly, but said deeply, "Is it because the speed of time in dreams is different?"
"so?"
"I've had enough fun!" Lu Qi announced, "So next, I want to get down to business."
She sat up from the sofa, and her long white hair fell like snow, spreading over her body.
The beautiful golden dragon horns shone brightly under the lights of the hotel.
Dan Feng raised his eyes and looked at her.
"I want to find a way to keep you by my side."
The black-haired, blue-eyed man's expression and eyes softened.
"Well, okay," the former Dragon Lord said gently, "I'll accompany you."
If you want your memories to have life and be able to travel with you, you must carry with you enough memory.
It's a pity that Lu Qi is not powerful enough to carry as much memory as Pinocchio. This route is too troublesome and can be completely passed.
Another option is to use scientific methods to create a new body for Dan Feng, and then make the memory into a storage chip and insert it to start it up.
Who says electronic life is not life?
However, this would put Dan Feng in an immortal state, and once his memories were uploaded to the electronic network, they would be vulnerable to erosion. Furthermore, Lu Qi couldn't guarantee that he could always be with Dan Feng.
One day, she will withdraw from this huge game. What will Dan Feng do then?
Lu Qi racked his brains, thinking about the possibilities of various routes.
Finally, there is the simplest and quickest way.
Let this dream continue.
Forget about that... Even if she is willing, Dan Feng has no objection. The others will probably unite and beat her into a piece of cake.
Lu Qi felt that he had no intention of committing suicide for the time being.
"Ah, it's so difficult," Lu Qi said pitifully, "Invincible Lord Long Zun, please help me think about it!"
The invincible Lord Long Zun opposite was reading the book brought by the servant without changing his expression, and was perfunctory without even raising his head.
"The invincible Lord Long Zun has no ideas."
"This is a big deal that concerns you!" Lu Qi leaned over and put his head directly on the page of Dan Feng's book, resting his chin on it. "Why don't you care about yourself, you cold and heartless person!"
Her face was so close that Dan Feng could see the tip of her straight nose and the fine hairs on her cheeks just by lowering his eyes.
He could smell her fragrance, and even in his dreams, the scent still brought back his memories.
Sweet and light like a cloud.
Dan Feng didn't like overly sweet things, preferring lighter foods. But he really liked the smell of Lu Qi.
She was like a ray of light entangled in a nightmare, pulling him forward without any explanation.
"If you can't think about it, then forget it," Dan Feng said. He stretched out two fingers and touched Lu Qi's chin like he was teasing a cat. "I don't care."
"Well, I knew it. You're such a cold-blooded person who only cares about your own happiness!" Lu Qi said angrily. She lowered her head and bit Dan Feng's finger, leaving marks on his fingertip with her thin fangs. "Why don't you care about my feelings at all?"
"...Don't bite my hand. I just touched the book. You don't think it's dirty."
“I didn’t eat it…”
Lu Qi's words of defense were swallowed back by Dan Feng's glare.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," said the former Lord Long Zun, who was known to be cold and ruthless. "I'm happy enough to see you again."
He held up half of Lu Qi's cheek with his palm and touched her soft skin.
Now he can still touch her body like this.
All the pain and regrets turned into the calmest sigh.
"I'm very happy, Lu Qi."
***
Lu Qi's thoughts were quickly interrupted. Something major had happened at Pinocchio. A company representative attending the Harmonious Music Festival, one of the "Stone Heart Ten" from the Strategic Investment Department, Sha Jin, approached the Star Train team, urging them to partner with him and bringing him some important news.
In Pinocchio, who claimed that death never existed in dreams, a victim of "death" appeared, and it was the most important and shining star of the "family" - the world-renowned singer Miss Robin, who was killed.
The "Family" blocked any news about her and proceeded with preparations for the opening ceremony as usual.
Until now, the "family" has not released any news about changing the singers of the "Harmony Festival".
The people on the Starry Sky Train noticed the truth hidden beneath this event. Although it was just the tip of the iceberg, the nameless guests were able to discover with their keen sense of smell that this might be related to the person they wanted to investigate.
The truth buried under history is probably related to the sinking and disintegration of dreams, and involves multiple forces.
After all, before this grand ceremony, the "family" banquet never invited other forces. Now that they are being invited with such fanfare, it is itself a huge conspiracy.
What was supposed to be a vacation turned into a conspiracy melee with multiple forces involved.
It can only be said that fortunately the Xianzhou Alliance does not care about these things at all, so Lu Qi, who travels in his personal capacity, can stay out of it.
But it was just "can". In fact, she now openly belonged to the Starry Sky Train. Even if she was just taking a ride, it would be the same in the eyes of others.
So she became one of Shajin's partners.
"Gold Dust...the one from the company?" Lu Qi was confused. "Why did he want to see me?"
When Qiong talked about the blond company representative, the expression on her face was very strange.
"...What does that expression of yours mean?"
"I'm just savoring it," Qiong said with a serious face. "You know, he's so generous. He gives me money every time he sees me. So far, I've received 27 points from him. He said it's cooperation funding."
"What? There's such a good thing?!" Lu Qi opened his eyes wide in shock. "Give me his contact information, I want to max out his credit card!"
March 7th was complaining wildly on the side.
"Why are you the only one who gets a share? What about mine? No, no, that guy is very dangerous, don't ask him for money!"
"Why not take the free credits? On March 7th, if you want to open some, there's no virus in the money."
"You do have a point... No, don't sway my thinking! I didn't say there was anything wrong with his money, I said he had bad intentions!"
"He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions, but it's unclear what he's up to," Miss Jizi pondered. "Anyway, let's take it one step at a time. Even without Shajin's cooperation, we'll investigate."
"I agree," Walter pushed up his glasses. "Be careful when you're investigating, and don't get separated."
"Okay, Uncle Yang, I will definitely keep an eye on them!" March Seven clenched his fist with confidence.
The people on the Starry Sky Train dispersed. Walter and Ji Zi investigated alone. They seemed to have something they wanted to know, so they didn't let others accompany them. March Seven and Qiong followed Lu Qi like little followers and went to find the people from the Hound Family to investigate the situation.
Four people appeared together, and their number was quite conspicuous in the solitary dream.
The members of the Hound family were busy blocking off some areas and had no mood to care about these strange-looking guys. Instead, they were trying to stop passers-by from entering places they shouldn't enter.
The reason why some dreams are blocked is because someone witnessed "death" in a dream, causing a small-scale panic.
Almost all the witnesses were taken away by members of the Hound family, but the flow of people at busy times was unstoppable, and there were always some who heard the news.
In their view, the four tourists who came to join in the fun were a source of headaches and annoyance to them.
Qiong and Sanyueqi went up and began to inquire about the news of "death", but were driven away by the members of the Hound family. In desperation, Qiong suddenly remembered a familiar name.
"I'm looking for your Sheriff Gallagher. Can you help me contact him?"
"Gallah? Who?" The hound family member frowned. "We don't have anyone with that name here. Are you mistaken?"
"That's not right... He clearly said he was..."
Qiong was driven away with a confused look on his face, and the few of them squatted in the corner again, discussing what to do next.
The only ones squatting were Lu Qi, Qiong and San Yue Qi. Dan Feng stood not far from them, the distance was just right. As long as someone passed by, he could pretend not to know the three shameful people.
The three people who were disliked were completely unaware.
"Did you encounter a Rememberer?" Lu Qi raised his hand and asked, "Rememberers can blur other people's memories. Perhaps that 'Gallagher' is also like this, making others think he is a 'sheriff'."
"It's very possible!" Sanyueqi nodded vigorously in agreement. "Qiong, have you been deceived?"
"That's unlikely..." Qiong said with a headache, "Let's look for it again?"
"It's too troublesome to ask everyone one by one. If we want to play, let's play something bigger," Lu Qi said excitedly. He pretended to dig something out of his pocket, but in fact he used his immortal power to pinch out a large speaker. "Ding ding! Use this!"
Her eyes curved with a smile, and she stuffed the loudspeaker into Qiong's arms without thinking of making trouble to watch the fun.
"Come on," Lord Longzun tempted, "use this loud speaker and let Gallagher come to you!"
