Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 147 The Tomb of the Former Nameless Guest at Liumeng Reef

While Gongsun Ming was still observing his surroundings, the others arrived one after another.

However, upon seeing Gongsun Ming's noticeably swollen back of the head, several of them almost burst out laughing.

Upon closer inspection, the people who arrived were Liu Ying, 'Ye Tianyu', Xing, Xiao Shi, Naxi Da, Jiang Tianxing, Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya, Seele, March 7, Himeko, Murata Himeko, Welt, and Pam.

The others decided to go to the venue of the Harmony Grand Ceremony, namely the Pinocchio Grand Theatre, and wait for the performance to begin.

Of course, apart from one particular cat, she didn't go to Liumeng Reef or the Xiele Grand Ceremony to watch the performance. Instead, she wandered around during the prime time to see what good things were available.

Unfortunately, there weren't many good things here, and even if there were, they couldn't be taken out, which saddened Pado for quite some time.

But the sadness didn't last long before they had to start running away.

After all, her behavior had attracted the attention of quite a few hunting dogs.

The arrest of her is now underway.

"Stop! Don't run!" the hound warned Pado as she fled.

"Don't come any closer!" Pado ran as fast as she could.

It must be said that Pado has always had good speed and luck.

They successfully escaped the hounds' pursuit after turning just a few corners.

Moreover, because he always wore a hood, his appearance and distinctive features were not remembered.

After realizing that the hounds hadn't found her, Paddo decided to go to the Pinocchio Grand Theatre to meet everyone.

But just as she was about to set off, she didn't notice that the space not far behind her was becoming illusory.

A meme creature with numerous eyeballs on its body emerges from the shadows.

His tail, like a sharp dagger, pierced straight through Pado's body.

Seeing the knife piercing her body, Pado was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had been attacked.

But before she could make any new move, she found herself at Liumeng Reef.

They also saw a group of people chatting with a man with a full beard not far ahead.

The bearded man seemed to sense something and immediately looked in her direction.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Pado instantly remembered who he was.

He was one of the hunting dogs she had seen before.

He was a good person, though. He knew I was "buying goods" but didn't arrest me; he even helped me a few times.

“It seems one of your friends was brought down by ‘Mianmian’,” Gallagher said, pointing to the cat not far away.

"Pado? Why did you come down here too? Weren't you going to see the Harmonious Music Ceremony?" Gongsun Ming asked in confusion.

"Don't even mention it. I was thinking of taking one last look at the golden moment before the Harmonious Music Ceremony to see if I could bring anything out. But I didn't find anything worthwhile, and in the end, I got pierced through by a strange-looking creature. Just thinking about it makes me ache..." Pado said with a hint of resentment, rubbing the spot on her back where Mianmian had pierced her.

"By the way, did you find that inheritance?"

“Yes, Gallagher is now planning to take us to see the former nameless guests and… the watchmaker who has been waiting for us for so long,” Himeko said.

“Since we’re already here, I’ll go with you to take a look,” Pado said. “I’m quite curious to know what legacy this watchmaker left us.”

"Those of you, please follow me. We won't wait for you if you miss this." Gallagher hurriedly walked towards a place that resembled a balcony.

There's a blond-haired middle-aged man standing here.

Upon seeing the group arrive, he bowed to them in respect.

Beside him were three tombstones. Each inscribed with…

Lazarina Jane Estella
Boreklin Tirnan

And a blank tombstone.

It appears to have been prepared by someone for themselves before their death.

The tombstone faces the Pinocchio Theatre and also the 12 o'clock hour, the golden hour.

“These tombstones… were carved by Mikhail,” Galakh said, stroking the blank tombstone. “He instructed me to send that invitation to the future nameless guests, that is, you. For this, he prepared a gift, a true ‘legacy’… belonging only to the descendants of the ‘pioneers’.”

The moment Gallagher touched the blank tombstone, the platform began to shake, as if something was floating up.

“Old friend, sometimes I forget you’re dead, as if you still had so much to say, so much to go on…” Gallagher said. “Now, I’ve kept my promise and brought you the descendant you always longed for. Although I don’t know why you could never forget that train, I still remember… what you said before you left this world…”

"Go forward, nameless travelers, his destination... lies in the garden ahead. The first and last nameless traveler of Pinocchio... 'The clockmaker, Ragvolk Charles Mikhail,'" Gallagher said.

The group entered the garden, but apart from Galah who led the way, as well as Liuying, Ye Tianyu, Xing, March 7, Himeko, Walter, and Pam, the others waited outside.

But Pado, as before, secretly slipped away to go on an adventure.

“He left this memory bubble. I guess… it must contain something meaningful to the Nameless Guest. After all, when I examined it, I found nothing inside. It’s probably related to the ‘Pioneer’ cipher, ha, even more mysterious than me,” Gallagher said.

"Hmm, let's take a look." Himeko gestured for Hoshino to try touching the memory bubble.

She nodded and placed her hand on the memory bubble. Instantly, her consciousness transported her to a certain place, but the problem was...

There is nothing here.

"Strange... there's nothing here?" Xing murmured in confusion. "I'll try again..."

Xing was unwilling to give up and stubbornly tried again.

But the result was the same; nothing was gained.

March 7th was also a little confused and touched Yipao as well.

The result, just like with the stars, was a blank screen.

"Huh? What's going on... Why is there nothing on this memory bubble?" March 7th wondered.

Himeko was also somewhat puzzled. She didn't quite believe that her senior had gone to so much trouble to get them here, only to give them a 'false' inheritance.

Perhaps there's more to this than meets the eye...

"open up"…

Blank and empty...

“I see… I think I understand now. If that’s the case… then the ‘Watchmaker’s’ legacy does indeed have some significance for us.” Himeko said with a smile, as if she had thought of something.

Walter seemed to have thought of something as he listened to Himeko's words, and nodded.

March 7th and Xing looked at their two elders, who seemed to have suddenly realized something, with puzzled expressions.

Liu Ying was also puzzled and wanted to ask Ye Tianyu beside her, but she didn't say it.

"Sister Ji Zi, Uncle Yang, what have you thought of? Can you tell us?" March 7 asked curiously.

"I'm not sure yet; I need to confirm something. I apologize, everyone, I need to leave now," Himeko said.

After saying that, she walked over to where the others were waiting and started chatting with Xiao Shi.

She then disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a few leaves as proof that she had once lingered there.
