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

Just as he was confused, words began to float around him.

Mikhail, are you in there?

Mikhail, where have you gone?

It's so quiet, only the ticking of the clock can be heard.

The eerie room was somewhat frightening, but thankfully, fireflies could be seen outside the door.

After analyzing the situation, the two concluded from Hanabi's statement about a real dream that this place might be related to the watchmaker, so they decided to explore the surrounding area first.

Along the way, the voice that sounded like Misha appeared continuously along with the text.

【I understand...we're playing hide-and-seek, right?】

Are you hidden well...? I'm coming to find you!

Mikhail...where have you hidden?

Please don't go! At least take me with you, okay? Please!

The claustrophobic and dark atmosphere, coupled with the eerie text that occasionally appears, seemingly alluding to a certain story, creates an overall atmosphere that evokes a sense of dread.

Chapter 240 As Long as There Is Health Bar

After passing through a corridor, a treasure chest suddenly appeared in front of them.

As I stepped forward to try to open it, a sharp ringing sound suddenly rang out all around!

The lights suddenly turned on all around, and the sharp, urgent ringing sounded as if something had been disturbed!

This sudden turn of events startled the audience.

"Holy crap, what the hell is that noise?!"

"You scared me! Quickly, hug my Firefly!"

"You're thinking shit!"

"It's just like alerting the boss in a horror game!"

"Oh my god, it's the middle of the night here, I don't dare to watch anymore!"

Looking at the identical doors around her, Xing chose one and went inside.

The long corridor stretched to the end, and ahead lay another identical door.

But as it gradually began to move forward, suddenly!

When we arrived at the door at the end, the whole scene flashed with white light.

This sudden movement made many viewers' hearts skip a beat.

Upon opening the door, I realized I was back in the hall where I had opened the treasure chest.

At the same time, strange noises came from all around.

[Help! Help!...]

The surrounding televisions began to display distorted images, and the constant ticking of clocks was unsettling.

The eerie melody in the background seemed to speed up with each repetition.

The terrifying atmosphere, coupled with the occasional text that pops up, makes one's heartstrings twitch.

"Hey, drink! The moon hides in the cave, the azure dragon cleanses the world!"

"Huanghuang Mighty Spirit, respect my order!"

"Barrage of comments for protection! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The strange music continued, becoming increasingly eerie with each repetition.

There's a saying that extreme fear turns into anger, and now the audience is experiencing firsthand the truth of that statement.

The fear that was growing in my heart began to turn into a frantic restlessness, making it hard to breathe.

Please, I'm scared...

Eventually, in the repetitive room, the white light from the television began to become glaring.

The plot then shifts into a performance.

The television screen, which had been displaying a distorted image, finally went dark, but then a purple eye appeared on the screen!

Countless purple eyes appeared from all the television screens in the room, and Xing immediately brandished his baseball bat to protect Liu Ying behind him.

Then, purple mist swirled above, and a sharp claw emerged from it—it was none other than the BOSS, [What Faces Death]!

The audience even felt a sense of relief when the screen shattered and the battle began.

"Phew, we're finally in the battle! That really scared me to death!"

"Indeed, I'm not afraid when monsters actually appear; it's the unseen ones that are truly frightening!"

"As long as I have a health bar, I'll kill even a god! But don't give me this kind of invisible terror!"

"Is this the boss that was introduced in the preview? It's so cool!"

"How come there's such a bizarre creature hiding inside the Pinocchio?"

Zhou Tiange: ______

"Oh no, my synesthetic beacon is automatically filling in the blanks for me!"

After a battle, the story automatically transitions into a cutscene.

As Xing's bat was knocked away and Liu Ying was bound by the opponent's tentacles, she clenched her fist tightly with one hand.

The light radiated along the veins of the ground, like a shattered mirror, and several large, crystal-like hands reached out to grab "What is Facing Death" and slammed it against the ceiling.

A clear and light voice rang out, and the black swan was seen turning its magical artifact.

Without mastering the correct methods...it's impossible to escape the shadow of death unscathed.

The Black Swan, adorned with a purple veil, made a powerful appearance to save the day, instantly turning the tide of the battle.

Then, the Black Swan threw out a Tarot card, which slammed the monster to the ground. At the same time, it threw out another card, which flew into the television screen and opened a gap.

See you next time, go now.

Seeing this, Liuying immediately grabbed Xing's hand and ran towards the gap.

When I woke up again, only the figure of Black Swan was left in front of me.

You're awake, you little sleepyhead. Looks like you had a sweet dream.

This thrilling and exciting development left the audience in awe.

"Cool! Black Swan!"

"Black Swan seems so calm, she easily suppressed the BOSS, is she that strong?"

"When Liu Ying was tied up just now, was the way her fists were clenched meant she was about to make a move?"

"The Black Swan's voice was absolutely devastating, especially that 'Run!' part!"

"Another mature and elegant older sister is coming to help us. Star Core Spirit is truly a walking succubus!"

Back at the hotel, Firefly was clearly no longer around, having returned to reality. Black Swan brought Star to the three members of the train crew.

"Miss Himeko, look, I've brought the child back as promised."

Seeing that Xing had returned safely, March 7th's tense heart finally relaxed.

[Xing, are you alright? I couldn't find you in reality or in my dreams, I was so worried...]

After this conversation, it seems that the Black Swan, as the one who remembers, has far more clues than the train crew.

I know everyone here. In Pinocchio, everyone can lie... but memories don't.

The dream we just experienced wasn't caused by fireworks, but rather originated from Pinocchio itself.

The so-called dreamland is nothing more than the result of the family's careful maintenance through certain means.

Pinocone's dream is now sinking. Combined with the previously released coded messages, this is very likely a plea for help from the mastermind behind the scenes in order to break free from family control and save Pinocone.

As a keeper of memories, Black Swan wants to collaborate with the train crew to record the upcoming pioneering journey.

As everyone was discussing, Walter mentioned a tall man wearing silver armor and also produced a message log.

[Ahem, can you hear me? Star Train, long time no see—was Pinocchio fun?]

In the scene, a chibi version of the silver wolf is holding a megaphone, and its voice is coming from it, exciting the audience.

"Wow, what an adorable little silver wolf!"

"Hilarious! There's even a little silver wolf here!"

"Long time no see, Wolf, have you gotten your 76 accounts back yet?"

"It feels so good to see Silver Wolf. I've finally met someone I know outside of the train crew!"

"Friendship is a blessing, let's cherish it forever, cheers to our friendship!"

Silver Wolf, representing the Star Core Hunters, has sent a piece of code. Inputting it into the Dream Pool will reveal a hidden location.

[You've probably all heard about Sam already, so look forward to it! He's a simple guy who loves fair and square competition, so he'll definitely get along with you all. Hopefully, his enthusiasm won't overwhelm you!]

Oh, he asked me to tell everyone: in the unreachable dream, the play is about to begin—keep going, all the forces are moving. Nameless Guest, don't fall too far behind!

Chapter 241 Heartbroken

Judging from the message sent by Silver Wolf, it is clear that many forces have already begun to enter the game.

If this inheritance battle continues, it could potentially affect innocent civilians as well.

[Sam the Molten Knight, reportedly a remnant of the Grammer Knights, is a genetically modified warrior with extraordinary perception. He acts ruthlessly and without reservation, making him a dangerous individual no less than Kafka and Blade.]

After Walter's explanation, the audience learned about Sam's background.

"Grammer's Iron Cavalry? Is that the Grammer from the Sky Front, the dimensional accessory?"

"Wow, so there were clues about Sam all along!"

"According to the description, this thing seems to be a weapon created to fight insects, but Grammer was ultimately destroyed."

After some discussion, the train crew decided to investigate the situation based on the clues given by Silver Wolf, and Black Swan was asked to accompany them as a guide.

As the train crew began to move, the audience started to wonder what would happen next.

Xing originally wanted to contact Liu Ying to see if she had returned to reality.

However, when he turned on his phone, he found that he did not have Liu Ying's contact information, so he had to contact Black Swan to find out what was going on.

Don't worry, it's a one-way door; it only leads to a sober reality.

[Unless the girl is determined to stay awake no matter what... how is that possible? She's probably rubbing her eyes somewhere in the hotel right now.]

As the Black Swan recounted its story, the audience's anxiety finally subsided.

"But Liuying really doesn't want to leave the dream!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is likely to occur!"

"My heart is still pounding with anxiety!"

They then successfully re-entered the dream world. Due to Xing's special physical condition, the Black Swan was asked to stay by Xing's side to ensure her safety.

Along the way, the sight of the Dream Theatre troupe lying on the ground alerted Black Swan to something amiss.

Strange, there seems to be someone else here...

Upon arriving at the hall, Black Swan looked down at Huang Quan's figure and exclaimed in surprise.

【Ah...it's her? How is that possible?】

After learning that Huang Quan had also come to the dream by accident, Huang Quan expressed his desire to travel together to investigate, to which Xing naturally agreed.

After wandering through this upside-down dream for some time, the Black Swan decided to use some of its own memory techniques to make a small splash.

【Hmm... I've got it. I can see the center of this dream, and family members... and several figures groping forward. It seems your friend isn't doing too well either... one, two, three...】

[...Wait, three? There's a third person looking for the way to the lobby? Wait...this is...]
