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

Just as the new version was being released, Firefly, who was experiencing the storyline at the same time, immediately saw the message.

Firefly: [Uh... does Mianmian mean that Memory Domain Mystery?]

At the time... I was a little worried about your safety, so I rushed back.

However, unexpected things always happen when you try things outside the script.

Looking at the reply from the firefly, Xing's gaze seemed to be fixed on the part about her safety, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Immediately afterwards, I saw another message from Firefly.

Also, I have to apologize... I promised to treat you to dinner, but I only brought 2 credits...

It's clear that Firefly also saw the clip of Sand Gold casually giving away 5 credits.

Thinking back to when prices were skyrocketing in Pinocchio, I was afraid my 2 credits would be gone after just a few purchases.

Compared to the 5 credits that Sand Gold casually offered, this seemed all the more shameful.

[Next time we meet, I'll definitely bring enough savings!]

If you don't have it, go borrow it from Silver Wolf!

This news left Xing somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Silver Wolf, who was hiding in his room and going through the plot intensely, also felt a chill run down his spine.

Let's get back to the story.

In response to Sam's words, Huang Quan asked a pointed question.

Hunter, do you still dream?

Do you dream of those who died because of you?

The situation instantly became tense. Just as Huang Quan was about to draw his sword, he touched the hilt of the sword as if recalling some memories.

The scene then shifts to the Eternal Fire Mansion a few days earlier.

In the scene, Huang Quan holds his scabbard and points it at the Darkfire Duke on the ground.

[...It seems the outcome was already decided.]

They're still alive, and so are you. You still have a choice: leave the music box behind, and then go.

It seems that this is the scene where Huang Quan came to steal the invitation to the Yonghuo Mansion, and the audience is very curious.

"Wow, does this mean the Grand Duke's children are still alive?"

"Lord of the Underworld: Children, run!"

"Victory is achieved when you hold out until you draw your sword!"

Chapter 262 Walter's True Strength

In the storyline, when Huang Quan, whose strength is vastly different from his own, comes to his door, Duke Minghuo is not as disheveled as the audience expected.

[A choice? The path of destruction, paved with blood, allows no room for hesitation.]

Burning is the life of the fire demon, its beginning and its end. We are born towards death, merely a reflection of the universal truth: all things are born for destruction.

Even now, facing death, Grand Duke of the Underworld remains as calm and composed as ever.

Destruction is a magnificent moment; if one seeks survival through base means... then life is far too long.

Even if the answer... might be your own destruction?

The answer is not important; what matters is its existence, just as your existence is. Everything exists to be destroyed—and so it is with the envoy.

You will witness the most brilliant and violent fire in the world; may this burning illuminate your unfathomable dreams.

Finally, Huang Quan placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

In retaliation, Huang Quan informed the other party that hunting was not the path he was taking.

May death end your long dream... and lead you back to the world of wakefulness.

The end of this memory actually made many viewers look at Grand Duke of the Underworld with more respect.

"I guess this can be seen as upholding my beliefs."

"Wow, the Grand Duke is actually kind of handsome!"

"Everything exists to be destroyed, even death is merely an aid to my progress!"

"With such a strong conviction, if we didn't know the outcome, we would almost have thought the Grand Duke was going to become the Destroyer!"

"Forget it, handsome as he may be, the idea of ​​existing for destruction is completely contrary to Nanook's concept of destruction!"

"Ugh, this is boring. I was looking forward to seeing that arrogant Grand Duke of the Underworld rolling around on the ground begging for mercy. This is so dull!"

As the flashback ended, Huang Quan, who was gripping the hilt of his sword, gave up the attack.

Stop now, your time hasn't come yet.

Sam let out a "ha" upon hearing this, somewhat confused by what the other person meant.

I've seen many seemingly clever disguises that can cover the exterior but can't hide the interior, and you're no exception.

[That pioneer, you didn't intend to kill her. You only attacked to separate me from that memory-maker... Why?]

Are you a slave to fate, making you do this?

Sam stood there, somewhat curious, and asked about Huang Quan's origins and what he wanted to do.

Seeing that Sam still looked wary, Huang Quan spoke up and revealed the key point.

I prefer to capture things through feelings rather than memories, so—

—I know who's inside that cold armor.

These words shocked the audience.

"Holy crap, there are people down below Sam?"

"Isn't that obvious? There's definitely someone inside. The key is, Huang Quan knows this person?"

"It's Firefly, isn't it! In the previous episode, the shadow of Firefly mentioned something about a mecha!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The voice and body shape are completely different, how could it be a firefly? You might as well say it's an Aha inside!"

"What '100% guaranteed group participation' nonsense!"

In short, Sam's attitude did soften after his identity was exposed.

Furthermore, it points out a clue to Huang Quan's family's cover-up of his death.

—And, the Star Train is not your enemy.

Now that the matter has been made clear, there is no need for either side to continue fighting.

Just as Huang Quan was about to leave, Sam called out to him.

【I won't.】

Sam answered Huang Quan's initial question: whether he would still dream of those who died because of him.

I wouldn't, I never would.

I was born without the ability to dream; I live for cold reality, burning for a glimmer of light...burning on and on, until I turn to ashes.

Therefore, I envy you.

[Is that so...? Then you're already living in a conscious world.]

This last paragraph also makes one curious about Sam's past experiences.

Then, the perspective shifted to the Star Train.

He was invited by his family to investigate the truth together, and they also asked him to cooperate with them on the gold mine project.

Although everyone has their own ulterior motives, for now, they can only try to understand the situation by making contact.

March 7th, standing to the side, finally sighed helplessly.

I understand the道理 (principles/reasoning), but there are too many bad women and bad men here. I'm really worried about being betrayed. Xingdu has been bullied several times already, and I just can't stand by and watch...

In the face of the unpredictable and volatile situation of Pinocchio, the words from a fellow passenger on the train were truly heartwarming.

"Waaaaah, March, you're so kind! Hugs!"

"I'm so touched. Everyone's taking advantage of the Trail Blazers. The train crew is the best!"

"March is the best!"

After confirming the cooperation, Xing sent a message to Shajin.

The signature below the gold-plated portrait is particularly eye-catching: "Long-term commission for lottery services."

Seeing that the cooperation was reached, Sand Gold casually transferred 10 credits, then said that he had made a mistake and transferred another 10 credits.

At this moment, the phrase "inhumanly extravagant" is perfectly embodied in Sand Gold, making it simply irresistible.

Afterwards, the Star Train split into two groups. Walter said he was going to investigate some things that concerned him, while the others returned to reality to investigate the truth behind the deaths.

After the train departed, Walter looked to the side and said.

【Honorable guest, would you please come out and meet us?】

The camera pans, and Huang Quan appears behind the obstruction.

Seeing the other person's expression, Walter was clearly taken aback, his gaze fixed on Huang Quan until the other person interrupted him.

Being stared at like that makes me feel awkward too.

It's rare to see Uncle Yang lose his composure like this, leading viewers to speculate whether they knew each other in Uncle Yang's mysterious past.

In short, Huang Quan's name has already spread throughout Pinocchio.

Some say she is the real culprit behind the serial murders, and the Annihilation Gang members who came to the banquet also died tragically at her hands. Now she is trying to stir up a bloodbath in Pinocchio.

Huang Quan offered no explanation, instead shifting the topic to Walter.

[Quite a few suspicious individuals accepted the invitation. Do they really think... a long sword is more dangerous than the black hole in your hand?]

These words successfully sparked a discussion among the audience about Uncle Yang's fighting prowess.

"Wow! Even Huang Quan acknowledges his strength, is Uncle Yang really that powerful?"

"It must refer to the simulated black hole in the skill name!"

"Huang Quan has a lot of information!"

"Judging from this, doesn't it mean that Uncle Yang's strength is also close to that of the Commander?!"

"It can't be that bad. When we were fighting Huanlong before, Uncle Yang didn't have any particularly outstanding moments."

"A simulated black hole, huh? Does that sound like the kind of technique that can't distinguish friend from foe? Is that why Uncle Yang doesn't use it much?"

"Looking forward to Uncle Yang's highlight moments later!"

Walter did not deny Huang Quan's words.

[A very keen intuition; even the family couldn't pinpoint the true nature of this cane.]

Chapter 263 I had material while dreaming!

In the story, seeing that Huang Quan even knows the secret of his cane, Walter inevitably becomes wary.

Reveal your true identity and state your purpose, or I'd better be prepared to be torn apart by gravity.

Although we don't know how the fight will end, this statement really gives people a great sense of security.

Wow! Uncle Yang here really gives off a powerful yet reliable vibe!

"A reliable adult male!"

"Walter's value is still rising!"

"Let's see what it looks like when stars shatter!"

"If a real fight breaks out, would you win?"
