Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

March 7th: [My suitcase can't fit you anymore! Can you walk by yourself?]

Amidst the joyful atmosphere of heading to a vacation, the train began preparing to depart.

[The train is about to leap forward—the train is about to leap forward—please sit tight and hold on tight!]

Pam's reminder came over the radio, and then the story transitioned into an animation.

[The leap is about to begin, 5, 4, 3...]

As Pam counted down, background music for a gacha pull began to play.

Xing closed her eyes peacefully, awaiting the arrival of the leap.

A deep blue energy began to envelop the entire train, followed by a deafening, complex roar!

The underworld, fireflies, chess games, robins... strange fragments began to flash back in Xing's mind.

When Xing opened her eyes again, she found herself sitting on the sofa in her hotel room.

This sudden turn of events truly stunned all the viewers.

"What the hell? What's going on?"

"As expected, something unexpected happened (sad)!"

"What did I do with this? Is this still Pinocchio?"

The explosive plot development at the beginning made the audience realize that things were not simple.

This dramatic turn of events surprised March 7th, who exclaimed in astonishment.

"My God, weren't you just on the train? How did you suddenly get to the hotel?"

Looking back on this experience now, Hoshino finds it hard to say exactly what happened at the time.

Is it a dream? Or... a dream from the future?

In short, the audience began to explore with these questions in mind.

Just as Xing was looking around to check the situation, a sigh came from the side.

【Another one...】

Turning around, a tall, slender woman with her arms crossed in purple appeared—it was Huang Quan.

Huang Quan seemed to be used to this, and looked at Xing with his indifferent eyes, devoid of any emotion.

"...Come with me."

The already bizarre plot developments seem to become even more bizarre with the appearance of Huang Quan.

"It's the Yellow Springs!"

"Wow, from the back view, she looked similar to Seele, but now that I'm looking at her from the front, she's actually a super cool older sister!"

"Long legs! Ah, no, this isn't the time to discuss XP!"

"Another one. Judging from what Huang Quan said, this has happened before?"

"I suddenly thought of the lyrics to 'Sleepless Night'... 'Desperate Reincarnation,' could it be hinting at something?"

"Holy crap, now that you mention it, it's really terrifying when you think about it!"

Xing in the story was clearly puzzled as well, and Huang Quan answered after she raised her question.

These questions... are meaningless, but I will try my best to explain to you: This is the boundary between reality and memory, a... dream.

At this very moment, we have coincidentally shared the same dream, appearing in each other's thoughts. This is the first greeting from the land of dreams to us.

Don't worry, you'll soon wake up from this dream, forgetting everything that happened, leaving only a faint sense of melancholy.

There's no need to worry about it; this kind of forgetting happens every morning, it's something we've long been accustomed to.

So, come with me, I'll take you home.

The film's riddle-like statements left the audience somewhat confused.

However, at least it sounded like Huang Quan meant no harm, so Xing followed Huang Quan out of the room.

On the way, Huang Quan introduced himself and then led Xing to the hall.

In the hall, many familiar figures to the audience were standing, seemingly all shadows of a dream.

Silver Wolf: [How are you planning to drag them down with you?]

Sam: [If you present the truth, they will naturally keep their appointment.]

The towering Sam standing in front of the tiny silver wolf evoked a strange sense of amusement in the audience.

"Hey! We can even see Sam and Silver Wolf here, and Sunday and the Robin in the background!"

"Haha, looking at it this way, Sam is almost twice as tall as Silver Wolf!"

"Wow~ It's a Sam Mech! Standing here, it looks like a giant figurine. I love it!"

"Finally, I can appreciate Sam's model from every angle! I'm staying here until Sam appears!"

Chapter 227 The Strange Red Dialogue

Seeing familiar faces appear in the dream, Gui Naifen went up and talked to them one by one.

Besides Sam and the Silver Wolf, Sunday and the Robin are also standing in front.

Sunday: [The stage for the Harmonious Music Festival belongs only to you, little sister.]

Robin: [But if I can't sing... what's the point of the stage?]

This dialogue gave the audience a clue to the bizarre journey to Pinocchio.

"Ahhh, it's a robin!"

"Wow, she's a real superstar! I even saw her ad in the nearby mall!"

"Based on my years of experience, Sunday's use of the word 'little sister' is definitely a sign of a siscon!"

"What kind of crazy experiences have you had over the years?!"

"What does this passage mean? Does it mean the robin can no longer sing?"

"Damn it, my head is so itchy, I need to grow a brain!"

Besides the Sunday siblings, there was another person that the audience didn't expect to see.

Doctor Truth: [What makes you think you can win, you damn gambler?]

Gold Alloy: [Three chips are enough; all or nothing.]

"Wow, it's my godfather! I never expected to see him at Pinocchio!"

"And gold dust! I've finally found you!"

"That voice is absolutely mesmerizing!"

"I see now, since you've all come to Pinocchio, you all have extraordinary skills!"

Finally, black swans and fireworks appeared on the side.

Fireworks: [Memoir... Do you think you can leave safely?]

Black Swan: [Sorry, my ideal dance partner... I already have someone else in mind.]

A long string of dialogues between the characters left the audience in awe.

"Everyone here is a riddle solver!"

"I sense that this is all foreshadowing!"

"You're not talking about my dream dance partner, are you? Hehe..."

"I didn't realize how small the fireworks were from watching the PV.

"From the moment I saw the fireworks, my gaze was fixed on them—jade feet, jade feet!"

After listening to all the conversations, Gui Naifen then controlled Xing to head towards the Yellow Springs.

Then suddenly a Hitchcockian zoom appeared in front of us, and the scene in front of us vanished abruptly, adding a strange eeriness to the whole atmosphere.

Finally, they stopped in front of a door. As Xing chose to open the door, a figure appeared before her without warning.

Welcome to Daydream Hotel! We wish you an unforgettable vacation! For check-in, please proceed to the hotel reception...

"Uh-huh-"

Misha's sudden appearance from behind the door startled Gui Naifen.

Fortunately, Huang Quan recovered after seeing that it was Misha, and then he spoke.

Leave this place, wake up as usual, forget this chance encounter, and return to where you came from.

But before we part, I have one request.

Upon hearing this, the audience began to feel curious.

This might sound strange or even rude to you, but I want to know...

Have we met somewhere before?

For the first time in the entire game, red text appeared in the dialogue box, which immediately shocked the audience!

"This is the first time I've ever seen red text in conversation!!!"

"Is there some kind of danger?"

"What if we're wrong and Huang Quan draws his sword to kill us in the next second?!"

"It shouldn't be. Judging from the conversation, could it be that we've met Huang Quan before?"

The red text in the dialogue immediately piqued the interest of the audience, who flooded the screen with guesses about its possible meaning.

Gui Naifen looked at Xing's answer, which included options such as "maybe I've seen it," "probably not," and "I don't know."

After careful consideration, Gui Naifen decided to follow her doubts and return to the Dao.

【What's the meaning? 】

You remind me of someone from the past. In my hazy memory, she stood beside me... just like this bizarre dream, so close yet unattainable.

The "she" in the dialogue, after being added by the comments, clearly refers to the protagonist, the Pioneer, because if the protagonist were Sora, then Yomi would be fighting with swords.

Then Huang Quan continued.

Can I ask you a few more questions? I... often forget things, so I'm more used to capturing things through my feelings than through memories.

Huang Quan values ​​Xing's immediate reaction more than the answer.

For example, when you woke up in your hotel room, you murmured several names. Were they your partners? Family? Enemies? It seems you've forged unbreakable bonds with many people and many things...

Are you afraid of losing this connection?

The red text of the dialogue reappeared, and combined with Huang Quan's words, viewers began to make various speculations.

Some say Huang Quan might have known the protagonist from the Star Core Hunter era, while others say Huang Quan might be related to the end, having lost his memory after seeing the stars in the future.

In short, after Gui Naifen gave an affirmative answer, Huang Quan nodded.

Hmm... what if there were a vast dream world, so realistic that it was indistinguishable from reality?

There, there is no separation of life and death; everyone can reap the happiness and fulfillment they deserve and live happily ever after.

Would you be willing to live there?

Upon seeing this question, March 7th suddenly became very excited, as if he had just realized something.

"Ah! This is it, the dream woven on Sunday!"

Xing, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"As expected, Miss Huang Quan knew the whole story from the very beginning!"

Looking at the question Huang Quan posed, this time it was quite direct and clear.

Is it a dream where everyone can find happiness and fulfillment...?

Faced with this question, viewers offered their answers in the live chat, with some saying they were willing and others saying they would depend on what price they would have to pay.

Gui Naifen fell into deep thought, recalling the carefree days of her childhood under her parents' protection.
