Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

Looking at Liuying's expression, Zhuqing smiled and shook his head.

"It's not a very profound theory, it's just difficult to implement. If you want, I can consult a friend for you someday. He should be able to design a usable theory."

"Thank you, but no thanks."

Liuying shook her head. She was just a little curious and didn't want to trouble Zhuqing. Besides, she could fly herself, she just had to wear Sam.

"We'll be there in a little while."

In fact, after arriving at the border of Dream Building, the scenery here is very different from that at the golden hour. The most obvious thing is that it is brighter here, with meteors streaking across the sky. Looking up, the bright sky makes it difficult to take your eyes off it.

As the two stepped onto the stairs, a ray of sunlight fell on their faces.

The first ray of light still appeared in the distant sky.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful here?"

Liuying smiled. She was still very confident about this place.

"Yes, if you don't have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty, you won't be able to find such a place."

Unlike the flawless and exquisite scenery at that time, this dream-building border has a completely different beauty.

Hearing Zhu Qing's praise, the girl smiled even more happily.

Walking to the railing, she looked at the city in the distance and took a deep breath.

"No matter how many times I come here, this is still my favorite place. It's quiet, beautiful, and I can really feel alive."

“You don’t have to worry about when you’re going to return to Sam, or when you’re going to fall or lose sight, even though this place isn’t real.”

She knew that her thoughts were actually an escape from the cold reality, but she... really couldn't refuse.

"Many people who come to dreams choose to stay there because of their own disabilities. Some have lost their legs, but are able to run freely in their dreams; some are born blind, but with the help of dreams, they see this colorful world for the first time."

Zhu Qing walked up to the girl and said, "For these people, the appeal of Pinocchio to them is much greater than that to normal people like me."

"They know the pain of losing these things, and they are even more reluctant to wake up from such a dream. However, the determination they need to wake up from the dream is much greater than that of normal people."

"Under such a stark contrast, the thought of escape arises in everyone's mind, without exception."

Zhu Qing was telling stories and comforting the girl.

Firefly looked into the distance.

"Yes, just like you, I also have some thoughts of escaping now. After all, no matter what the reason is, I can't reject such a dream."

Unlike others, this is the girl's first dream, and perhaps her only one.

Although it was very different from what she had imagined, for her, such a dream was already a huge luxury.

"At least in this dream, I can live as Firefly forever. When I wake up from reality, I will return to the armor and live in this world as Sam and the Star Core Hunter. There's nothing wrong with them, but... they are not Firefly, and they are not me."

Fireflies kept flying across the sky, leaving one light after another in the girl's eyes.

“In dreams, there’s a past that’s too painful to look back on, a future that’s too hard to face. As long as you wish, these things will never happen.”

"Why does life sleep? I think it is because it is afraid of waking up from the dream."

Zhu Qing turned his back and leaned on the railing, looking at the girl.

“People in dreams can also find their own meaning, just like the dream builders we see. They may spend their entire lives building all kinds of things in their dreams, but for them, this dream is their meaning.”

"But the 'meaning' of the little firefly I know isn't in dreams."

Liuying paused, she looked at Zhuqing, only to see Zhuqing smile.

"We made a pact, didn't we?"

The girl also smiled.

"Yes, we agreed."

We agreed to find a cure for entropy together, and we agreed to find our own "future" together.

Everything in the dream is beautiful, but it is not reality after all.

So...if there was a future worth looking forward to in real life, she thought she probably wouldn't be so immersed in dreams.

"The future is also a dream, but this dream will be forged by you. Unlike Pinocchio, that future will truly belong to you."

Listening to Zhu Qing's words, the girl savored them carefully. The future is also a dream, a dream that truly belongs to her.

After a while, her eyes gradually lit up.

"So, I will definitely find my own dream, right?"

"of course."

The little firefly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great! If possible, I really hope to record this moment forever."

"So... take a picture?"

......

Chapter 107: Helper

"Photograph?"

The girl thought about it, raised her eyebrows and agreed.

"Good~"

She should have thought of it earlier. After all, there is no better way to remember the scenery than taking a photo.

"But I don't think I've taken many selfies, so they shouldn't look ugly, right?"

Zhu Qing looked at Liu Ying strangely. She seemed to have no correct understanding of her own appearance.

Judging from appearance alone, among the people Zhu Qing knows, Little Firefly will not lose even if he cannot win.

But this is normal. She doesn't have any friends on a daily basis, and Silver Wolf and Kafka probably won't tell her this. Even if they do, they are both very good-looking, so the little firefly naturally doesn't think she is special.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Feeling Zhuqing's strange gaze, Liuying tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

"I'll take the photo."

Zhu Qing stretched out his hand. If the girl wanted to take a photo, she should use her own mobile phone.

"Can we take a picture together?"

Liuying handed over the phone, "I haven't taken a photo with you yet."

"it is good."

Zhuqing took the phone and found a suitable place with Liuying.

The girl smiled and looked towards the camera.

"Eggplant~"

......

Four system hours later.

Golden hour, a restaurant.

Zhu Qing leaned on the sofa and looked at the gold sand opposite.

"So, why did you come all this way here?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's our common goal."

Gold Dust laughed, flipping the chips in his hands.

"Through some special means, I learned some information, and I hurried over to share it with you."

The chips in Sha Jin's hand stopped.

"First, let me tell you an indisputable fact. Pinocchio's dream is crumbling for some special reasons. As for the reasons... I think you can probably guess what they are without me having to tell you."

"The cause of the accident is not what we should focus on right now. Imagine, my friend, the collapse of a beautiful dream, family problems, and seemingly completely unrelated... Miss Mockingbird's loss of voice."

"Think about it, my friend. The family's methods alone cannot solve the vocal problem of a singer, not to mention that this singer is not an ordinary person."

That's Robin. Putting aside all her identities, she is also the sister of the current head of the Oak family.

If the family had a solution, it would be impossible for them not to treat the robin, not to mention that the robin is now going to perform on the stage of the Harmony Festival. The family cannot let such a big problem go unaddressed.

But now, the family's attitude is quite unclear.

Zhu Qing placed one hand on the table and tapped it lightly.

"From what I understand, she had voice problems a long time ago, and only recently became almost voiceless."

Zhu Qing told the story. He was not worried that Sha Jin would tell others because Sha Jin had a brain.

He won't do anything unnecessary.

"It started a long time ago? How did the family do it?"

Sha Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he was a little surprised.

"They thought it was a memory problem, so they consulted a memory specialist and a professional doctor, but... I can confirm that her voice problem has nothing to do with memory."

"My throat isn't damaged and it has nothing to do with my memory quality, haha..."

Gold Dust laughed twice. "That's really interesting. Between the family intentionally making her lose her voice and the family not wanting to make her lose her voice, which one do you think it was?"

"Oh, of course, it might be that the family really can't handle it. That's okay. After the Harmonious Music Ceremony is over, you can bring it to the company. The company will provide the best medical services."

Zhu Qing ignored Sha Jin's next words.

"The issue with her voice is probably related to the dream and the changes in her family."

No matter which one it is.

"Although I dare not conclude that these things are related, there must be some invisible and visible connections between them."

Shajin looked at Zhuqing, "And the main person in this matter, even if she knows nothing about it, she herself is a clue."

Robin.

When everything is unknown to everyone, no one knows the family situation better than her.

Of course, for her, once she wants to track down the whereabouts of the family traitor, she will definitely enter a dangerous situation.

"I'm quite surprised you didn't contact her directly."

"Come on, do I look so stupid in your eyes? I am one of the Stoneheart Ten after all, right?"

Gold Dust spread out his hands. "Why would I risk being kicked out of Pinocchio to find someone when there's a more convenient way?"

As for Zhuqing and Miss Robin, even a dog wouldn't believe that these two people have nothing to do with each other.

Obviously, Zhuqing is the best choice to contact Robin. The two have a close relationship, and even if they meet, it will not attract too much attention.

"I have already given that lady a heads-up. As for what I discovered..."

Gold Dust leaned back on the sofa.

"I'll wait for you to come back and tell me."

The two have clear division of labor, one is responsible for investigation and the other is responsible for implementation.

His preparations were complete, and the rest would of course be left to Zhu Qing.

"You really know how to order people around."

Zhu Qing sighed, "Any other information?"

"Isn't this what you're waiting for? Please, my friend, it's already remarkable that the company has been able to gather this much information in such a short time."

"As for the rest, why not ask Miss Mockingbird? She might know more."

"If I had, I would have known it long ago. Forget it, let's go."

Zhu Qing stood up.

"So urgent?"
