vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

Sometimes, even Jeremy felt that the experience of not dying even when the body was pierced, but only being able to clearly feel the wound torturing the nerves while healing was quite uncomfortable.

Besides, death is not a rare occurrence in Elio's scripts.

Except for the guy who longs for death, everyone else has "died" in various ways in Elio's script. A lively girl who can ignite the sea without any shame even "dies" every now and then.

[Listen to me, in Elio's script, your life will literally end in Pinocchio. After Pinocchio, Elio will no longer see your future.]

"It sounds like this trip to Pinocchio is going to be dangerous."

Jeremy seemed somewhat unconcerned about Kafka's worries.

Jeremy didn't think Kafka was kidding him, nor did he think Elio would add footnotes to the script, but he didn't intend to change his schedule because of this.

Pinocchio is determined not just because of the company's mission, but also because Jeremy has his own purpose.

If there really was a remnant of breeding within Pinocchio, he would get hold of it no matter what.

Taking out the venom spray gun that he always carried with him, and looking at the exquisite purple spider patterns on it, Jeremy's eyes, which always had a smile on them, flashed a hint of sinisterness.

This is not only for the future revealed to him by the Amber King, but also for his own bloody past.

A long time ago, he stood on the scorched earth ravaged by war and swore an oath to the civilizations destroyed by the insect plague - he would definitely kill the breeding completely.

This is a national hatred and a blood debt, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

【It seems that you don't plan to change your itinerary. 】

"After all, the entire Star Hunter community depends on me to make money to support the family. Sam's treatment and maintenance are not cheap, Silver Wolf spends money in the game every day, and A Ren has to change his bandages hundreds of times a day. And then there are your favorite sunglasses and coats. If I don't work for the company, Elio can hardly afford to buy cat food."

He tried to give a nonchalant reason in a casual tone, but Jeramy's understated words completely silenced Kafka on the other end of the line.

Although she knew that this was just a joke that Jeremy used to lighten the atmosphere, for Kafka, this topic was too heavy.

After all, Jeramy was telling the truth.

The Star Core Hunter's capital chain cannot be said to be rich enough to rival a country, but at least it can be said to be stretched to the limit.

After all, there are only a few official members. Sam has never been to school, Silver Wolf is an internet addict, Ren can't starve to death, and he knows nothing about business. As for Elio... its cat paw cannot be used as an official seal.

After all, the main business of the Star Core Hunter is to obtain star cores, and there are not many buyers in this universe who are interested in star cores. Even if there are, the Star Core Hunter will not sell them.

This business model of only outflow and no income means that the Star Core Hunters are destined to have insufficient funds.

For a long time, the Star Core Hunters have been in a sustainable stage of having to worry about the next meal after eating the current one. If it were not for the support of Jeramy, an excellent employee who resigned, Kafka would really have to consider how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Of course, the Star Core Hunters all have their own pride. Unsatisfied with Jeramy being the sole sponsor of an organization, they have certainly tried to generate income in alternative ways.

However, the company's financial firewall was too tight, and even Silver Wolf was helpless. Although Elio could predict the lottery numbers, those numbers had already been bought internally before the tickets went on sale.

After failing to generate revenue repeatedly, they even seriously considered randomly selecting a lucky member, sending him to the company to collect the reward, and then having others work together to break the prison.

Suddenly, the atmosphere feels heavier...

The other end of the communication fell into a long silence, and the eerie silence spread among the stars. Jeremy blinked in confusion. He shouldn't have said anything wrong.

[Anyway... since you've made up your mind, I can't stop you.]

Kafka's voice was filled with emotion. Time passed so quickly. She had promised her best friend that she would take good care of Jeremy, but before she knew it, it was Jeremy who took care of her.

"Wait, Kafka, I have a question for you."

Realizing that there was not much to talk about between them, Kafka was about to cut off the communication to prevent Jeremy's secret contact with the Star Core Hunter from being discovered, but before Silver Wolf could cut off the communication, Jeremy stopped her.

However, the fact that Jeremy, who had always had his own plans, would ask for advice from her did pique Kafka's interest.

【Tell me, is there anything I can help you with?】

"I want to protect someone from a future that's already in danger, but as a corporate spy for the Interstellar Peace Company, it's almost impossible for me to communicate calmly with him. Under these circumstances, how should I act? It's really a dilemma."

Kafka raised her eyebrows at the unclear explanation, and the gentle smile in her voice became forced, adding a hint of annoyance.

This kind of riddle that neither explains the cause and effect nor introduces the target information is sometimes really annoying.

"Time is running out. Silver Wolf's hacking methods will soon be discovered by the company. Our communication will be cut off in half a minute at the latest. Are you sure you want to tell me a riddle at this time?"

"My target is the robin, the singer whose voice resounds throughout the universe. I have received a revelation from the Amber King that there will be an unforeseen catastrophe in the future, and the robin's loss of voice may be the beginning of everything."

Urged by Kafka, Jeremy had no choice but to explain the reason briefly.

It is his habit to use riddles as decoration, but that does not mean he cannot speak well.

He just doesn't like to use words that don't require careful consideration.

Since you think Robin's stay in Pinocchio will lead to a bleak future, why not just kidnap her? As a former Star Core Hunter and a corporate spy, this kind of thing should be familiar to you.

"Besides, your job is to sabotage the Harmony Ceremony, isn't it? Robin is the family's fifth-level tuner, the key to the opening of the Harmony Ceremony. Kidnapping her would be a win-win situation for you."

Volume 12: Memory Space

Originally, Jeremy was still worried about how to prevent the Amber King's revelation from coming true, but after Kafka's advice, he suddenly felt that his thoughts were like the sun that had cleared up and his mind was opened up.

Perhaps only at this time, Jeramy would slightly agree with Long Jing's evaluation of himself.

As a corporate spy, his style of doing things was still too conventional. Most of the time, he would target inanimate objects like official seals and money trees, using more subtle methods to make the other party submit. Simple and crude options like kidnapping would not appear in his mind at the first time.

"But, kidnapping Robin? That's a big star at Pinocchio. I probably won't get close to him easily."

[That's something you need to consider... By the way, the Asdena galaxy where Pinoconi is located is extremely dense in mesomeric elements. First-time visitors are very likely to accidentally fall into the mesomeric space, so you need to be more careful.]

[After all... your memories aren't all good ones.]

Leaving behind a brief word of concern, Kafka was the first to cut off communication with Jeremy, without even giving Jeremy a chance to say goodbye.

After all, the company's firewall is not a second-rate thing that can be bullied casually. Even for Silver Wolf, a genius hacker, being able to hack into it for so long is already the limit.

Listening to the blind sound entering his ears, Jeramy silently hung up the communication and began to prepare for the space jump.

Pier Point, where the Interstellar Peace Company's headquarters is located, is separated from the Asdena galaxy where Pinocchio is located by a galaxy. If Jeramy does not rely on space folding technology, he may not be able to reach Pinocchio until the stars in the Asdena galaxy go out.

【The jump is about to begin, please be prepared. 】

A simulated electronic sound rang out, and under Jeramy's operation, the space where the spacecraft was located gradually began to distort, and was finally sucked into a newly opened vortex.

………………

The feeling of galaxy migration is very strange. In the white light that overwhelms the vision, space and time seem to have lost their concepts.

After a not-so-violent turbulence, when Jeremy's eyes could reflect colors again, he found that he seemed to be no longer in the cockpit of the spacecraft, but sitting on a comfortable sofa. The surrounding scene was no longer the boundless starry sky, but more like a gorgeously decorated hotel.

Although it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, Jeremy still recognized the decoration style - the classic style of the Pinocchio Daydream Hotel. He had seen it in the information about Pinocchio.

"This is……"

Jeremy casually brushed away the memory bubble that floated to his hand, and roughly understood his situation.

"I was just told not to fall into the memory space, but how come I ended up here right after? This is just fate playing tricks on me."

Standing up from the sofa that was so comfortable that he was reluctant to leave, Jeremy reached out and touched the wall behind him. The touch that fed back to him was extremely real.

If Kafka hadn't warned him in advance, he might have hesitated for a while before he could distinguish between dreams and reality.

But since we already know that this place is a dream, the right thing to do is to leave quickly.

After all, if Jeremy guessed correctly, he should be sleep-driving at this moment in reality. He didn't want to find that he was about to have a close contact with the meteorite as soon as he opened his eyes.

He took out his venom spray gun and pointed the muzzle at the Dream Pool facing the door. The lavender light flowed on the spider pattern and gradually gathered towards the muzzle of the spray gun.

【Fake! 】

The lavender venom changed the color of the clear dream pool, and the dream around Jeremy began to show an unstable fluctuation, looking like a mosaic with destroyed pixels, or a dilapidated wall with bricks and tiles gradually collapsing.

However, this memory space was more solid than Jeremy had imagined. This unstable fluctuation only lasted for a short time, and soon the collapsed wall returned to its original state.

This is normal. Memory is the foundation of the Asdena galaxy. If it was destroyed so easily by Jeramy, then Pinocchio would not have been able to stand for so many Amber Ages.

Since violent demolition is impossible, we can only analyze this memory space bit by bit and slowly find a way to leave.

Jeremy fished out some purple-dyed water droplets from the Dream Pool and put them into the venom spray gun's storage tank.

Jeramy's abilities...are extremely special and complex.

His spider silk can not only grasp entities, but even some abstract concepts.

It is said that if the coordinates are determined in advance, the spider's silk thread can even connect the boundary between life and death, and it is natural to cross the dream and reality.

It won't be long before the spider silk that can connect dreams and reality will be woven completely, and then Jeremy can follow the guidance of the spider silk and leave this memory space.

But before that... let's explore this memory space a little bit and deal with some annoying things by the way.

Jeremy turned his gaze towards the door of the room. From just now on, there was a constant and annoying knocking sound.

The incessant knocking sounds were like many hands pounding on the door one after another, and the force was quite brutal, even causing the tall and thick door to be slightly deformed. The mechanism connecting the door frame to the wall made a harsh struggling sound.

However, compared to this impolite behavior, the faint smell coming from outside the door was the real reason why Jeremy frowned.

He smelled a familiar scent…the scent of insects.

【boom……】

Finally, the door panel couldn't bear the continuous knocking and fell towards Jeremy.

Ah Sit Down (Acid Bomb)

Purple strong acid liquid shot out from the venom spray gun, corroding the door panel the moment it came into contact with it, creating a hole large enough for a person to pass through. Then, it continued to crash into the guests who had been knocking on the door relentlessly - several real stinging insects whose bodies were so wide that they almost filled the corridor outside the door.

The flying door frame and the fired acid bomb parted ways. Jeremy kept raising his gun and firing. The large hole corroded on the door frame allowed Jeremy to pass through it accurately without even touching the corner of his clothes.

In the end, the door frame smashed into the dream pool stained with purple venom and failed to hurt Jeremy at all. The real stinging insect knocking on the door was not as lucky as Jeremy.

Under the corrosion of strong acid, their hard shells are almost indistinguishable from foam boards, and their wings used for flying are corroded into steam the moment they come into contact with the air. One can even faintly see their disgusting internal organs through the corroded gaps.

"They are all old friends. They actually appeared in my dream, which means I haven't forgotten what you did..."

Jeremy clenched his right hand, the glass foundation he had just obtained was slightly hot, and a straight glass sword with a strange hilt appeared in his hand.

"In that case, let us reminisce about the past, my mortal enemy."

Volume 13: Miss Saturday

Have you fallen into the memory space again?

The singer with long blue-purple hair rubbed his eyes dazedly, stretched his body and sat up from the sofa.

The robin stretched out his white palm and moved it back and forth in the air around him, carefully feeling the concentration of the surrounding memory and soon came to a conclusion.

On the way back to Pinocchio to attend the Harmony Festival, he accidentally fell into the memory space again.

This is not surprising. The concentration of memory matter in the Asdena galaxy is unusually high. Even the locals of Pinoconi often fall into the memory matter space unknowingly when they leave the protection of the planet and travel in the starry sky.

What's more, the singer has been on tour for a long time.

It is not difficult to understand that when returning to the old place, one accidentally falls into the memory space.

However, faced with this dilemma that would leave ordinary people helpless, the robin did not panic at all.

As a local who grew up in Pinocchio, Robin has rich experience in getting lost in dreams. The self-rescue knowledge of how to escape from the memory space on one's own is even written into the Pinocchio Primary School textbooks.

Rather than finding a way out, the robin is more concerned about whether his disguise will be forced to be removed because he accidentally fell into a dream.

Looking at the full-length windows in the room, Robin carefully examined her makeup.

"The halo has been retracted, the wings have been hidden in the hair, the facial makeup has been completed, and as for the clothes..."

Robin looked down at her clothes. Although the beige jumpsuit could not completely hide her slim figure, it was definitely simple compared to the fancy clothes she wore on stage.

She was sure that no fan could see through her disguise. Even if her brother appeared here, he would have to take a second look before recognizing her.

"That way there won't be any problems. Even if I accidentally wander into someone else's dream, I won't be recognized."

Looking at himself in the mirror, the robin nodded with satisfaction.

It is not easy to escape from the memory space. It is very common to accidentally enter other people's dreams while trying to escape.

If someone recognizes me then, the situation will become very troublesome.

"Okay, let's start trying to get out. I remember how to do it."

Lying in the dream pool, the robin operated the program in the dream pool somewhat unfamiliarly.

Although it is just a product simulated from a dream, it still has functions similar to the original one.

Submerging herself in the water of the Dream Pool, the singer slowly closed her eyes.

First attempt at disengagement, start.

After an illusion similar to floating up from a dive, Robin felt that she was still immersed in the water of the Dream Pool. It seemed that escaping from the memory space was not as smooth as she had imagined.

"Failed? Then try again...ah!"
