Chapter 92 [Two-in-One] Reorganization, Memory, ...
The person who said he had found a solution remained silent when Dan Feng asked him about it in detail. He just smiled and said he wanted to keep it a secret.
It just so happened that the people on the Starry Sky Train emerged from the real dream and returned to the dream.
They were busy running around, explaining the truth of the whole dream to Lu Qi while working.
About Pinocchio, about the nameless guest, and those dreams that are about to fall.
"So the watchmaker's legacy is an empty dream bubble?"
After the Starry Sky Train crew entered a real dream, a place called Dream Reef, they encountered Firefly who had mistakenly entered due to "death".
Liuying leads them to their companions and reunite, where they also encounter the "Gravekeeper." Living only in dreams, the Gravekeeper, whose true form has long since passed away, guards the nameless guest's tombstone on Liumeng Reef, awaiting the arrival of the Starry Sky Train.
Among them was Gallagher, the man who claimed to be the sheriff of the Hound family. It was he who led the Star Train team to find the Empty Dream Bubble.
"Wait, wait, I feel a little dizzy... Who is the mastermind behind this?" Lu Qi asked, sorting out the information.
Now there were too many people entering Liumeng Reef, including the Starry Sky Train, the Star Core Hunters holding scripts, and even the head of the Oak family, Sunday, and his sister, the superstar Robin, entered together.
It's like reading a detective novel, gathering all the clues together and starting to explain.
Lu Qi was not at the scene, and after listening to Qiong's messy narration, he could only try hard to connect the people and events together.
"It could be Gopher, the 'Dream Master' of Pinocchio," Qiong answered honestly. "Uncle Yang needs to take Sunday to confront the Dream Master."
No wonder, after they emerged from the real dream, they separated from the main group. It turned out that they were going to settle accounts with the culprit.
"So... the Mikhail you're talking about is Misha?"
Qiong nodded again like a woodpecker.
March 7th next to him couldn't wait to explain.
"Oh, how can Lu Qi understand if you put it that way?" San Yueqi wanted to demonstrate with his hands himself, "Only people on the train can see Misha——"
"No," Lu Qi pondered, recalling his memories. "Misha, isn't she the ice-blue-haired doorman who appeared at the Real Daydream Hotel?"
The little raccoon with gray hair and golden eyes froze in place upon hearing this.
March 7th is confusing.
"What do you mean I've seen Misha in real life? How could he appear in real life... Did you see it wrong?" The pink-haired girl muttered, "No matter what, the Ragworker that Pam asked us to find is Mikhail."
"Maybe I saw it wrong," Lu Qi said obediently, "Maybe it's because although I'm a temporary passenger, I'm also a member of the train?"
"That's right," Sanyueqi nodded in agreement, his goldfish mind completely forgetting what Lu Qi had said before. "After all, Pam's attitude is also very strange. She calls you as if you were a passenger... Yeah, that's right!"
The extremely smart pink-haired girl suddenly realized what was going on. She clenched her right fist and hammered it into the palm of her open left hand.
"Since you know Misha, it will be easy."
San Yueqi immediately took over the speaking position and continued to explain the situation to Lu Qi based on what Qiong had not finished saying before.
Gallagher claims to be Pinocchio's hound. He once betrayed Mikhail and became a lackey of the "family". Now he has turned over a new leaf and is ready to throw himself into the arms of "justice".
Lu Qi: "The truth?"
March 7th: Think for two seconds.
"Gallaher is a real liar... I asked him his age before, and he actually said he was only thirteen! Well, I'll just take him at face value."
The memory meme "What Towards Death" is the monster that kills other people and brings them into real dreams. Its real name is "Slumber" and it is actually Gallagher's pet.
"...What kind of person is this? Can't he give his pet a better appearance?" March Seven complained again.
In addition, Sunday and the Robin brother and sister also entered Liumeng Reef. After communication and cooperation, Sunday told them an important news.
Pinoconni's "sweet dream" is maintained by the star core, and the location of the star core is the Pinoconni Grand Theater, where the "Harmony Festival" will be held.
"Holding a ceremony in such a dangerous place must be a big problem, right?" Lu Qi asked pointedly.
"Yeah," Sanyueqi nodded in agreement. "The star core is so dangerous, it should be sealed. If it explodes, won't the entire Pinocchio be blown up into the sky?"
"Come to think of it, didn't Sha Jin enter the dream with you?" Lu Qi thought back, remembering the company representative who had been taken advantage of. "I remember... it was Mr. Sunday who cast the 'curse' on him. Didn't they fight at Flowing Dream Reef?"
"Although we entered Liumeng Reef at the same time, we landed at different locations, so there seems to be a slight time difference," Sanyueqi said hesitantly. "Qiong entered later than us. I was already familiar with the place before he arrived."
"I see...there's a time lag in dreams."
"Yes," March Seven nodded, "so we didn't meet Mr. Gold Dust in there. We only found Mr. Sunday and Miss Mockingbird."
It’s a pity that it was just a dream, otherwise on March 7th I would have taken the album I bought to Miss Robin for an autograph.
After this is over, she will go find Miss Robin!
"That company representative probably had his own agenda," Ms. Jizi added. "His purpose... was probably to confirm whether 'death' could enter dreams, not to investigate the truth of dreams. I asked Gallagher about it, and he said he enjoyed chatting with the people at Dream Reef and then left using Mianmian."
The decisive action seems to have obtained the desired information, involved himself in the operation, and brought the information back to the company.
In order to get the big piece of fat meat, Pinocchio, the Interstellar Peace Company even dispatched several Stone Heart Tens.
What a pity! If only the Xianzhou Alliance had also accepted the invitation, Lu Qi could have torn a piece of meat from Pinocchio and fed it to Xianzhou.
"So, you are going to seal the star core now?"
March 7 said that everything depends on whether Sunday, Robin, and Uncle Yang who are traveling with them can convince the dreamer to abandon evil and turn to good.
If not, she would probably have to join others in contributing her limited fighting power.
"I knew there would be a fight every time." San Yue Qi sighed.
Wherever the pioneers go, whether it is a resort or a science and technology museum, there are always unexpected things.
She has long been accustomed to it and will continue to fight in the future.
"Okay, okay," Lu Qi comforted her, "I understand everything. Thank you for your explanation."
"Hey, you're welcome!" March 7 replied happily.
After she finished telling this story which was neither long nor short, she saw that Qiong was still lost in thought, so she shook his arm to force him to come back to his senses.
"Wake up, Qiong, don't sleep with your eyes open!"
"I didn't sleep," Qiong finally responded. He touched the back of his head and sighed, "I just heard some shocking news. It was like a long dream."
The gray-haired young man looked at Lu Qi who had revealed the answer to the mystery, and received a sweet smile from Xiao Bailong.
Knowing that she had dropped a bomb and having no intention of smoothing things over, the Dragon Honored Girl tried hard to comfort him.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Lu Qi encouraged. "You are not fighting alone, so just follow the 'script' and move forward."
"Lu Qi is right," Miss Ji Zi said gently, "Let's go to the Dream Store first to confirm the situation... Is Lu Qi coming?"
"No," she shook her head. "I have other things to do."
Among the group of people, only March Seventh knew nothing. The IQ of everyone on the train was at its lowest. She was still yelling before leaving, thinking that others were hiding something from her.
Qiong patted her little friend's head lovingly.
"If you know too much, you will be silenced." The gray-haired raccoon said mercilessly.
"Who silenced me? I don't use my Six-phase Ice just for show. I'm also quite good at fighting!"
The train left, and the relatively silent Star Core Hunter girl bowed politely to Lu Qi before leaving.
"What a polite little girl," Lu Qi said while gesturing as he saw the firefly-colored figure trotting away and tried to catch up with the gray raccoon. "It's a pity that her illness can't be cured."
That is the "price" brought about by genetic modification. Even a Star God would find it difficult to reverse the issue of paying the "price".
Loss of entropy.
It's not a disease that affects the body, but a cognitive disease.
"I hope fate can lead her to find a way out."
Lu Qi sighed and stretched.
The truth has been revealed, and we have heard many stories. The "ticket" to the beautiful dream will soon come at a price due to the intersection of reality and dreams.
But before that, Lu Qi wanted to enjoy the "last" time.
"Where should we go next?" Lu Qi murmured, "Is there any place Dan Feng wants to go?"
Ever since Lu Qi said that he had a way to solve his current meme situation, Dan Feng had been silent because he couldn't get an accurate answer.
This man still had faith in her and believed that Lu Qi could do it, but as the "end" was approaching, he felt a little uneasy.
So I could only remain silent.
Lu Qi pushed the former Lord Long Zun who was in deep thought.
"Let's go to the moment of the stars."
The Starry Moment has a long coastline, even though there is no real sea. One can only see virtual light sources on the Sea of Memory, the beautiful and dreamy waves on the sea, and the never-stopping luxurious ships - that is also the sea.
Dragons always yearn for the sea; that's their nature.
In order to simulate the feeling of "sea", the long coastline in the Starry Sky is divided into countless areas.
A large number of tourists, especially young couples in love, are walking here hand in hand.
The gravel under your feet is soft, without any uncomfortable pain, as soft as stepping on white cotton.
There wasn't much to see on the coastline at dusk, so Lu Qi and Dan Feng just sat on the beach, chatting about random things. Occasionally, they'd come across a passing cart and buy some cheap and delicious food.
Dan Feng didn't want to eat it, but Lu Qi forcefully stuffed it into his mouth. He could only frown and eat the strange-tasting food.
What broke this atmosphere was the message from Black Swan that Lu Qi received on his mobile phone.
[Black Swan: They are about to wake up.]
The time is almost up.
Happy moments always pass quickly, even in the twelve hours of Pinocchio, which is day and night, time is passing.
The happiness that we have fought for is about to end in this beautiful golden sea, witnessing everything under the virtual light.
The empty light cone in her arms now contains many of her memories, and until now, it is still working cautiously.
"Dan Feng." Lu Qi called out his friend's name, and under the gaze of his blue, fluorescent eyes, he showed a relaxed and happy smile.
"Yeah, I'm here."
The dream was about to break, and the stolen time would eventually come to an end. Dan Feng's mood became calm, and the falsely beating heart was only affected by her every move.
What would the future hold? He couldn't guess, nor did he want to. He only remembered that now, he wanted to look at her carefully and remember this face forever.
He reached out and tucked the loose hair that had fallen on Lu Qi's cheek behind her ear.
"I want to give you a unique gift," she said with a smile. As usual, she stretched out her hand and tiptoed to cover Dan Feng's eyes. "Close your eyes first. No matter what you hear, don't open them, okay?"
"good."
Dan Feng closed his eyes obediently.
Lu Qi let go of his hand, observed carefully, and even waved his claws in front of Dan Feng unsafely.
"Can you really not see it?"
"...light will still bring about some changes," Dan Feng said helplessly, "Can this be considered 'visible'?"
"Actually, I want you to cover your ears too." Lu Qi muttered.
This request was directly rejected by Dan Feng.
"No," he said grimly, "Dragonborn have keen hearing. They can hear even if they cover their ears."
"I know...that's all I'm saying. Do you still want a gift?!"
"..." Dan Feng was silent for a second, and reluctantly used the Cloud Chanting Technique, wrapping the water flow around his pointed ears.
Although the sound could still be heard, the noisy Lu Qi finally nodded in satisfaction.
He didn't know what she was going to do, nor could he see her expression at the moment. He could only feel that the "dream" was collapsing, and the "voices" of countless people were coming from a distant place.
There were screams, cries, and lingering fears.
Many people's dreams have been awakened.
At the hour of the stars, on the coastline at dusk, the number of young couples strolling leisurely through the streets gradually dwindles, and the shadow of "death" hangs over everyone's head, making them wake up uncontrollably.
Even though he couldn't see, Dan Feng knew that Lu Qi was trying hard to fight the physiological reaction and still chose to indulge in the dream.
But this resistance cannot last long, and she will always have a moment of clarity.
A soft hand touched his cheek.
Lu Qi's hands were covered with ice-cold water, carefully applying it to every corner of Dan Feng's body. Her Cloud Chanting technique was even better than his, and those delicate movements seemed to be innate in her body, moving according to her will.
Soon, she used the cloud chanting technique to collect Dan Feng's physical data.
There is no real flesh and blood in dreams, nor in memories.
The power of immortality can change the form of a living being, and before the fall of immortality, almost every dragonborn can do it.
Now, apart from Lu Qi, no other Dragonborn can do such a thing of resurrection.
Only she can do it.
If there is no flesh and blood, then use the resources at hand to create it at the moment when dreams and reality intersect and you wake up from the dream.
Is there anything more suitable to be a carrier than the immortal dragonborn himself?
The girl with white hair and golden eyes looked at her friend seriously.
She reminded herself of this countless times during this journey.
This was just a game, and even if it wasn't, separation and death were perfectly normal for living things. She should learn to accept it, learn to tolerate it.
Let time pass, let glory fade. The memories of the past are but fleeting illusions. All she needs to do is smile happily when she recalls them.
But Lu Qi was unwilling to give up.
The people she met and the things she experienced in Pinocchio told her that it shouldn't end like this.
Yes, it was just a dream.
Yes, it's just a game.
Then, she has the right to act recklessly and the courage to start over again.
Across the water flow of the Cloud Chanting Technique, Dan Feng heard Lu Qi's short chuckle.
Then he smelled a very faint smell of blood.
The sweet smell mixed with the irresistible smell of blood rushed into his nose. He opened his eyes suddenly, but could only see darkness.
Lu Qi used other methods to block his view.
"...What are you doing?" Dan Feng started. He could hear his voice trembling and choking. "Stop, please?"
"Do what you did before." Lu Qi smiled nonchalantly, not caring whether Dan Feng could hear her or not. She stretched out her hand, and the blood that flowed out was like the water that passed by before, mixed in the cloud chanting technique, and wrapped around Dan Feng.
Dragonborn have strong self-healing abilities, and Lu Qi is the best among them.
She was wearing armor given by the protective star god. Nothing could really hurt her except herself or the star god.
To this end, she repeatedly tore open her chest, which would heal quickly, and searched for the condensed "Dragon Ball" in her internal organs.
——Her heart.
For the immortal dragon descendants, the dragon balls are the source of power, just like the Chongyuan beads held in Dan Heng's hand. It is the ability that will be used when inheriting the Dragon Lord, and it is a treasure of the Chiming clan.
However, she didn't have anything to replace it now, so she had to make do with it.
She broke off the golden horns, cut off the flexible tail, and peeled off the scales - the blood that flowed out was just enough to form a new body, and she reassembled these "pieces of flesh" into the shape she wanted.
The white hair was stained with blood and was dangling at the end of the hair.
Lu Qi looked like he had been fished out of a pool of blood, and the blood energy on his body was incredibly heavy.
The dreams around her had fallen away, and she returned to the real reality, back to the original starting point.
In the dream pool in the Daydream Hotel room, those beautiful, dream-like memory bubbles were soaked in the blood of the Immortal Dragonborn, along with the entire fallen dream.
The dim coastline was dyed with blood, the clouds across the sky were startlingly crimson, and the light falling on the white sand was also transformed into blood-colored sand by the blood.
In the torment of pain and self-healing, Lu Qi even laughed out loud.
She succeeded on the first try... She's a genius!
No need to roll back, no need to start over. The pain exceeded the sum of all the previous deaths. It was like the rules were punishing her, the disobedient player, and tearing her mind apart.
She stood upright, staring with open eyes at the "body" made of the immortal dragonborn's flesh and blood, and stuffed her "memories" into it with satisfaction.
Dan Feng's voices were buried by his memories and could not be heard clearly.
The bloodstained ear was even vigorously shaking off the overflowing blood, the bright red color hanging precariously on the tip of the ear, slowly falling.
“Pah.”
She heard the sound of the clock hands starting to tick and saw the body she had "created" immersed in the follicle.
“Pah.”
She blinked, and the red liquid slid down her forehead and gathered on her eyelashes. Her white eyelashes could not bear it, and when she lowered her eyes, they lightly fell into the dream pool.
The dream has been completely shattered.
Lu Qi wasn't dead yet, but her body was throbbing with uncontrollable pain. To be safe, she separated most of her strength from her flesh and blood, causing the three destinies to vie for control within her body.
Commonly known as, they fought among themselves.
The immortality that had once been her eldest brother had been artificially weakened, and now, like a backlash, she was struggling to survive. The surging power surged through her veins, even protruding veins on her cheeks.
Even the blood that fell into the Dream Pool was spontaneously condensing and heading towards the Dragonborn's follicles.
Lu Qi couldn't control himself and could only call for help.
"Ms. Black Swan...I need your help."
She coughed up blood and called out to the omnipresent Rememberer. The Rememberer had already observed the situation in her room and immediately appeared in front of her after hearing Lu Qi's exchange.
"...Are you okay?" Despite knowing the situation, the Black Swan was still startled by the sight of the blood-soaked Dragon Lord. The elegant Rememberer turned and saw the eggs in the Dream Pool, distinct from the dream bubbles.
"Help me move the egg somewhere else," Lu Qi said in one breath, his voice hoarse, "...My blood is trying to gather and transform it into its original appearance. I can't control it."
It was a small matter. The black swan moved the egg to the other side of the room. She glanced at the people inside, and then looked at Lu Qi now.
Lu Qi took out a light cone filled with memories from the dream pool.
"Your reward," said the white-haired Dragon Lord, "is in it everything that happened to me."
The blessing of abundance couldn't quickly heal her torn body; it was straining to contain its disintegration. Lu Qi didn't dare move, and could only lie in the dream pool, breathing slowly as if dead.
"How can I help?"
Lu Qi shook his head with difficulty.
After receiving her reward, Black Swan didn't disappear immediately. She stood in front of the Dream Pool, watching Lu Qi's blood struggle to return to his body, then fall heavily as if exhausted.
One look is enough to tell that this daring Dragon Lord had torn himself into this tattered state in order to revive his old friend.
Lu Qi's breathing became very light, and the rise and fall of his chest was almost zero.
At the moment when her breathing was about to stop, the ice of "memory" suddenly appeared and froze the dying blood.
Time went back in that body, and the lost fluid returned to her body.
Black Swan looked on in astonishment, sensing the memory star god Fu Li casting a glance at Lu Qi.
The dying body breathed again.
