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

Scott: [Ha, you bunch of high-and-mighty managers never take us low-level employees seriously. One word and you sent me to some backwater like Xianzhou, another word and you transferred me to Pinocchio! I thought this was going to be a sweet job...]

Who knew... spending all day hunched over talking business with a bunch of rascals would make my cervical spondylosis almost worse!

With just two simple sentences, he offended two groups.

"What? Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by a desolate place like the Immortal Ship?"

"I'm reporting this to the Interstellar Association! There are people here who are racist against us Pipishi people!"

"But Scott is quite capable, isn't he? He's got both Fairyship and Pinocchio in the market, both huge markets."

"I hope I won't be transferred to Onpharos later, haha."

In short, after a round of trash talk, the battle began, and Assassin, as the Memory Provider, started to use his advantages.

Let the camera start, the film reel spin, and we return to that timeless silent horror show!

[Performance, Action!]

The next moment, a black screen with distinct camera angles appeared at the top and bottom of the screen, and even the colors changed to the quality of an old-fashioned film.

Scott and Greedy vanished into thin air, and when the group tried to communicate, they found that the voices had disappeared, replaced by a voice that sounded like telepathy.

Potio: [Where's my voice? His precious one, his precious one! His precious one!]

Chapter 706 The Room You Can't Leave Without Doing Something

At the beginning of the mime, although everyone had lost their voices, everyone could still feel Potio's excitement from the enlarged text.

Why am I automatically imagining the voice?

"Who says pictures can't convey sound? Hahaha!"

"This deafening silence!"

"It's okay, the synesthetic beacon I received has its own sound."

"Please enter your voiceover to activate automatic voiceover mode and select your voice."

"Does it have a fireworks-like sound?"

"For the voice acting, I want Aha to do it!"

"Aha: 6, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

Although there is no voice acting in the game, such a minor issue is not a problem in the interstellar era, as players essentially have an on/off switch to automatically change the sound.

What intrigued Potio was that they were all silent right now, so how were they communicating?

At this point, Sand Gold glanced down at the camera.

Look, there's a line of dialogue here.

This explanation greatly shocked Potio, who showed a rare expression of astonishment, which made everyone laugh instantly.

"I can't hold it in anymore, don't suddenly break the fourth wall, hahaha!"

"Can't you watch it if there's no sound? Of course you should watch it with subtitles!"

"BoBoShark's brain is malfunctioning."

"Yi Zhe is still too much of a supermodel at Pinocchio!"

Seeing the bewildered looks on their faces, Scott, who was behind the scenes, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

[Hahaha, I've always wanted to see that expression on your faces, that look of utter foolishness, completely manipulated by me!]

Upon hearing this, Sand Gold frowned slightly.

[It's unfair! Why do you have a voice?!]

All of this was naturally due to Greedy's abilities, and a moment later, another group of friends who had received the news arrived here, completely unaware of what was happening.

Robin: [It feels so quiet... I haven't seen Mr. Portio, nor the enemy who invited us here.]

This sentence sounds like a flag that's about to go off, making people inexplicably uneasy.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a television set appeared out of nowhere, its smooth back facing away from everyone.

Because they looked very suspicious, Robin and the others decided to stay away for a while, but they were pulled back after only a few steps.

Scott: [You think you can just walk away once you've stepped into Lord Scott's territory? No way!]

Upon hearing this, Xing didn't hold back and retorted without hesitation.

Why is a dog barking?

Robin: [Scott? Is he the company representative who's good at bionic ventriloquism?]

Star: [Wow, Scott's really struck it rich! Even a big star like the robin knows your name.]

Okay, I told her that. I sometimes chat with my friends about the strange and wonderful things I encounter on my travels!

As expected of a veteran team, they silenced Scott with just a few words, and you could feel their anger even through the screen.

Finally, Star's finishing blow caused Scott to cut the connection.

Look, he's in a hurry again.

Then, when Potio appeared on the TV screen, and just as they were about to warn the others to be careful, Greedy used his ability.

When Xing came to her senses, she had already lost her companions, but another friend, Sand Gold, appeared beside her.

As a frequent viewer of horror movies, Sand Gold knew that splitting up in this situation was a big no-no. Although he didn't know if the rules of horror movies would apply to the two of them, the two decided to act together anyway.

Soon after, the two encountered Archer and Saber on the road—or rather, their subtitles.

Saber: [Master? I saw your subtitles! I'll find a way to get you out right now!]

These serious words are really hard to read.

"Don't say such hilarious lines with such a serious face!"

"You should be able to see the subtitles if you get close enough!"

"The public chat is hilarious!"

Archer was very wary of this, since all he could see were subtitles with the name Sand Gold, and what if it was an enemy ambush?

Archer: [If you want to prove yourself, you'll have to reveal ten embarrassing things that only my Master knows.]

Even Xing on the other side couldn't help but complain after hearing this.

Xing: [So you just want to hear embarrassing stories about Sand Gold, right...? Well, I'd love to hear them too.]

Seeing that the group had started chatting and were completely oblivious to the rules of a horror movie, the director in the background angrily emphasized the rules here.

The tightly sealed room locks everyone inside, and to get out, one must saw off the leg of any one of them; otherwise, the room will explode after a certain period of time.

Upon hearing this, Sand Gold spoke with great interest.

Sand Gold: [I know this! A room you can't leave without doing something! It's a classic element from old Pinocchio horror movies!]

However, for those who have watched countless films, this statement can easily lead them astray.

"This...this isn't right, is this really an element from a horror movie?"

"A room I can't leave without doing something... This feels so familiar, isn't this... well...?"

"Hey! Don't say it!"

"It's strangely funny coming from Sand Gold's mouth... What have you even seen?!"

"That's strange, why did my comments turn yellow?"

"Damn it! It's because you guys wear tinted glasses that you see everything as dirty!"

In short, in this poorly made and haphazardly pieced-together horror film, the question of whether to cut off the left leg or the right leg was placed before the group.

Archer: [Master, you heard that too. Choose one, will you saw off your left leg or your right leg? To be honest, if it were a buy-one-get-one-free deal, I'd rather saw off the arm with the Command Seal.]

Sand Gold: [Hey! You're my servant, after all. At least consider sawing off Hoshino's legs, okay?]

Wait, old friend, stop staring at me like that. I was just kidding.

The bickering between the two was quite amusing to everyone, but the choice still lay before them.

Just as Archer proposed a vote, suggesting that he cast his vote for his flamboyant Master first, Saber offered a better solution.

[Common sense would be that a Servant would simply chop open a mere door, wouldn't they? Master, please step back.]

The atmosphere in a horror movie set stems from insufficient firepower, while in a horror movie, the characters' combat abilities are too high...

Rules are meant to be broken!

Then, the girl with the sword shouted angrily, and the lock snapped open with a crack, easily opening the door. The director was so angry that he jumped out.

[To brazenly choose violence in a horror movie—the heroic spirits from another world truly lack any artistic sensibility!]

As a blonde beauty, shouldn't you take the initiative to create screams and wait for the hero to rescue you?

These familiar elements also drew a lot of criticism from everyone.

"It's tough; a classic horror movie needs a blonde beauty who can only scream."

"Sir, times have changed. Now everyone likes to watch blonde beauties uproot willow trees."

"A major taboo in horror movies: Don't let incompetent brutes on set!"

"Coincidentally, what this place has no shortage of is firepower, haha."

Chapter 707: There aren't many animal sounds left for Scott.

Once the two sides inside and outside the room meet, the BOSS from the horror movie also appears at the opportune moment.

Scott Chainsaw: [Hehehe, trying to run away? Did you even ask for my opinion, the protagonist?]

However, it was Scott's appearance that caused horror films to veer further towards comedy.

After easily defeating Scott, who was empowered by the power of the Memory Master, as if he had rolled over a speed bump, the film set entered intermission.

During this time, the group learned about Greddy's background through Sand Gold's knowledge of horror movies.

I'd only ever heard the name. This guy was a bad film director active in Pinocchio's early days, who made a staggering number of low-budget silent horror films and was particularly good at playing with interesting commercial gimmicks.

The film that imprisoned them was something Sand Gold stumbled upon at the Interstellar Antique Market.

Hearing this, Xing asked a question out of curiosity.

[Who knew the gold mining director would visit flea markets?]

Gold dust: [Discovering residual value from a bunch of things that others consider useless is quite an achievement, and it can also broaden one's horizons.]

Getting back to the main point, once you learn that the other party is an unknown nobody, then finding weaknesses in historical records is obviously not a viable strategy.

However, judging from the current situation, although the opponent's ability is somewhat troublesome, it is merely a trap to ensnare the target.

To break this cage, it seems we still need to find the other party's true form.

After some discussion, the two sides, who both expressed no interest in the Holy Grail, formed an alliance and headed towards the exit together.

The familiar Pinocchio corridor and the familiar repetitive rooms evoked memories for the players.

"I'm reminded of some unpleasant memories..."

"No, this past trauma is coming back."

"When Mianmian comes out later, it will be the final blow!"

“Mikhail…”

"I was really scared when I played this part..."

Just as the group had circled around several times, at a loss, and just as Greddy was about to make another move, a familiar song rang out, and the notes transformed into solidified power that drifted out to guide them.

This heavenly sound in the silence also invigorated everyone.

"Harmonious divine power, boy!"

"This is... music... a robin, is that you singing?"

"The bird has turned on its maximum speed!"

How did I get pulled to the top of the axis?
