Xing Tie, my abstract thinking ability is refreshed every week.

Until the very end of his life, his thoughts were on Pinocchio, not revenge.

Because he didn't want to see Lusaka's tragedy again.

Mikhail's life was like a captivating movie, which Chang Geng watched with immersive enjoyment.

After the movie ended, the scene changed again.

He returned to Liumeng Reef.

The scene was exactly the same as before the memory cannon.

Directly opposite Chang Geng is the final resting place of Mikhail.

But there was no one lying in the wheelchair in front of them, and no one was around.

Only Misha, who was a head shorter than him, stood before him holding an exquisite top hat.

“I have been waiting for you, the nameless guest of the future.”

Misha laughed.

"Although I don't know where you come from, what you look like, or your name... please allow me to call you 'The Pioneer' for now."

Misha walked slowly forward.

"I don't know why you came here."

It was clearly only a few steps away, but he spent his whole life walking it.

"Perhaps my nonsensical plan actually came to fruition, or perhaps Granholm just hasn't replied to me in a long time."

Even this final step was only completed after death.

"But whatever."

Misha approached him and stood on tiptoe slightly.

"Your presence here means that you have taken over the responsibilities I have not yet fulfilled."

Misha gently placed the top hat on his head.

"Pinocone, I'm counting on you."

He passed on this gift, given to him by his senior, to the younger generation in the capacity of a senior.

This is inheritance.

"Thank you."

Misha smiled, her face radiating childlike innocence.

"My journey has come to an end..."

After doing all that, Misha slowly backed away, growing further and further away from him.

So far away that they are separated by life and death.

"From this day forward, this is your path..."

As Misha retreats, her height, voice, and appearance all gradually change.

Children, youth, and the elderly.

He kept retreating, and his age kept increasing.

He eventually lost his balance and collapsed into a wheelchair.

It reverted to the appearance it had when Chang Geng first met it.

He looked as peaceful as an old man who was asleep.

Chang Geng remained silent.

He took off his top hat and silently examined this final gift.

The hat was undamaged and looked brand new.

It's clear that the previous owner cherished it very much.

The so-called "pioneering"...

He looked at the top hat and suddenly remembered a phrase for no apparent reason.

"—It means following the path that predecessors have not yet trod, and going even further."

Chang Geng muttered to himself, then placed his hat in front of his chest.

He then bowed slightly to the watchmaker in front of him, as if to express his condolences.

Volume 1: NO.93: Senior, your pioneering efforts back then weren't fast enough or ruthless enough (4k)

Liumeng Reef.

When Chang Geng straightened up again.

He had broken free from the bubble of memories and returned to reality.

Chang Geng gazed at the sleeping clockmaker.

Mikhail has gone far enough; it's time for him to rest.

The dream he was about to have was so long that even the sound of a train whistle might not be able to wake him up again.

All was quiet here.

In the undisturbed night, all the disputes seemed to have settled down temporarily.

But Chang Geng knew.

The conflict of "revenge" has only just begun.

"senior."

Chang Geng spoke up and placed the top hat on the head of March 7, who had curiously come closer.

His next task was to take on the responsibility of "hunting".

Instead of "exploration," they leave no room for the family.

Everyone knows that, after all.

Unless you're insane, you'd never provoke a hunting party.

Once you take action, no matter who you are or where you are, the vengeful fury of the hunters will come knocking on your door.

The hunt never ends, the war never ceases.

"Well…"

March 7th readily accepted, blinking as he did so.

"Your pioneering efforts back then weren't fast enough or ruthless enough."

As Chang Geng spoke, he already had a plan in mind.

Anonymous guest, anonymous guest, those who "pioneering" do good deeds without leaving their names.

But heroes cannot be nameless.

The family erased Mikhail's achievements for their own selfish reasons.

And they attempted to erase it once and for all, to silence history forever.

The reputation of the Sea Patrol Knights has been underestimated!

What to do with those who are disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust?

It's very simple, just kill!

Impolite, unwise, and untrustworthy; don't worry about anything else.

The wisdom of our ancestors is always right!

"Mikhail's dream of Pinocchio."

Chang Geng passed Gallagher and was about to leave.

"I will bring it back for you."

March 7th, wearing a top hat, stood beside him; the hat looked quite good on her head.

"Whether it's the Star Core or the family, whatever they owe Mikhail, the Sea Rangers will make sure he gets it all back."

Chang Geng's intention in giving the hat to March 7th is very clear.

She will represent "Pioneers" to witness the "Hunters'" campaign.

Mikhail's achievements serve as proof.

Oppression and injustice still exist here, but he will bring justice to the people as he desires.

"Let's wait here for good news."

After saying that, Chang Geng walked away, and March 7 obediently followed.

And then there's Huanlong. She didn't die; she's just a tool, a mere accessory, and doesn't deserve a voice.

"and many more."

Gallagher called out to him for no apparent reason.

Chang Geng stopped and turned around to see what was going on.

"Take this one too."

Suddenly, a golden flash came hurtling towards him.

Snapped!

He raised his hand and caught what Gallagher threw at him.

Chang Geng opened his palm.

Then, looking down, the nameless passenger's ticket came into view.

It's the one that was on Misha before.

"When the nameless passenger dies, his ticket should be returned to the stars by the Starry Sky Train."

After handing over the train tickets, Gallagher looked at Mikhail, who was fast asleep in his wheelchair.

I just felt like it was all over.

"If you're going to look for the Star Train again, I hope you can take it with you."

Gallagher entrusted his final matters to Gallagher.

"Mikhail's journey has come to an end."

"But there's one last step before it truly ends. May you bring a true conclusion to his pioneering work."

Knowing this, Gallagher prepared to say goodbye to everything.

"I feel bad for troubling you with everything."

"I really want to do it myself, but this sea of ​​stars is ultimately not for me."

Having no more attachments, he prepared to have dinner with the old man in hell.

"I can't leave Pinocchio, because I am..."

When a fiction is seen through, its existence will naturally come to naught.

"Shhh."

Chang Geng held his index finger to his lips, indicating that he should not speak.

"Don't say things like 'the journey is over'."

His intuition sensed something was wrong with Gallagher from the very beginning.

Of course I know what will happen if I let him continue speaking.

It's strange, this indescribable feeling...

Chang Geng also felt this through "forgetting".
