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

Pushing open the heavy door, the robin led Jeremy into the world beyond the door, and this time, they were finally greeted by no longer a swarm of insects.

A few minutes later, a purple figure appeared silently in the room. Looking at the messy scene caused by the battle and the countless doors along the corridor, even Huang Quan frowned subconsciously.

"The source of the insect swarm should be here."

Volume 17: I feel that the robin is not as good as Saturday

"I didn't expect that after getting rid of those bugs, this memory area would become like this."

Following the robin through the corridor in the memory realm, Jeremy looked curiously at this space where dream bubbles were floating everywhere, with amazement in his eyes.

Perhaps because it was too close to Pinocchio, this memory area inevitably took on the layout of the Daydream Hotel. The splendor of that event star was perfectly reproduced in the dream.

"In fact, the fact that the memory space has become like this is not entirely the result of natural formation."

The robin led Jeremy through the maze-like corridors of the Daydream Hotel until they came to a wall that seemed like a dead end.

"The five major families of Pinocchio discovered long ago that a person's dreams could influence their memory realms. For nearly ten Amber Ages, the families have continuously dispatched dream builders to use special methods to influence these memory spaces. While they can't force anyone into the memory space, anyone who stumbles into it will find it transformed into a Daydream Hotel."

The rich memory space is a unique advantage of the Asdena galaxy. Pinoconi certainly won't waste this God-given resource, and he simply uses the memory space to advertise his own hotel.

Standing in front of a dead end, the singer with long blue-purple hair subconsciously reached out to the Dream Bubble Wine Tower beside him, trying to fish out the dream bubbles that could form a passage to the wall.

However, the robin, who had repeated this action thousands of times since childhood, touched nothing this time, and there was nothing in the dream wine tower.

Obviously, the memory space that had just been ravaged by the insect swarm had not yet fully recovered to its original state, at least the destroyed and exhausted Dream Wine Tower had not been filled.

"give it to me."

As if he saw the robin's predicament, Jeremy walked up the wall as if nothing had happened, his feet clinging to the wall like a spider, and then stretched out his exposed left hand towards the robin still on the ground.

When the two stepped onto the wall at the same time, the gravity in the dream seemed to shift as their center of gravity changed. The original wall suddenly became the ground, and the corridor they had just walked through became part of the wall.

After following the same method and holding Robin's hand to cross several walls, Jeremy and Robin arrived at a luxurious hall.

And they were not the only ones in this hall.

Looking at the silver mecha and hacker girl standing next to the booth with an extremely obvious height difference, Jeremy's expression became a little weird.

How come the Star Core Hunter also came to Pinoconi? No wonder Kafka said that in Elio's script, she would die in Pinoconi. Could this script be a group version?

"These are just sounds, just shadows in a dream. Some are left by travelers who have visited this memory space, and some are memories of the past of the dreamers. Don't worry about them."

Seeing two familiar figures in the hall, Robin's smile froze. He pulled Jeremy's sleeve and planned to take him out of the hall quickly.

The reason was simple. The shadow that appeared in the center of the hall was the shadow left by her and her brother when they were discussing the matters concerning the Harmonious Music Ceremony.

"So, this is also a shadow?"

Looking at the image in the center of the hall, Jeramy's eyes carefully examined the robin's appearance.

His appearance is almost the same as the information given by the company, but compared with the revelation of the Amber King, he seems a little younger and does not have those eye-catching scars on his body.

This is normal. After all, it is still unknown how long it will take for the Amber King to reveal his intentions. It took a full fifteen years between the last time Jeramy received the revelation from the Star God and the time when the revelation became a reality.

"Miss Saturday, is this the legendary robin?"

"Yes... yes, this is the most dazzling star of Pinocchio. What do you think? She is very beautiful, isn't she?"

Resisting the urge to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Robin tried to keep his voice natural. He subconsciously glanced at the cups on the table not far away, using the reflection from the cups to check his makeup.

My disguise shouldn't have worn off during the battle. If I were to be recognized at this moment...

"I feel... not as good as Miss Saturday, I mean in appearance."

After looking closely at the image of the robin, Jeremy quite naturally came to the conclusion that the image of the robin was not as good as the robin itself.

The evaluation of beauty and ugliness is subjective, and impression is the factor that can influence this subjectivity to the greatest extent.

Just from the impression, Saturday, who had just fought together in the insect swarm, was certainly much stronger than the robin who had only been seen in intelligence materials and revelations.

"This……"

It is a strange experience to be judged as inferior to oneself.

The robin looked at his own simple attire and then at the radiant self in the image.

"Compared to Miss Mockingbird, there's still a big gap between me and her. She's a world-famous singer, and I'm just an unknown apprentice singer."

"Miss Saturday, don't underestimate yourself. I think your singing is just as beautiful as Miss Mockingbird's. Perhaps you just lack the opportunity to perform."

Pinching his chin, Jeremy showed a thoughtful look, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, he turned to look at the robin, whose expression seemed a little unnatural because of the comparison.

"How about this? I'm going to Pinocchio this time, and that robin happens to be one of my targets. If I can make Miss Robin disappear at the Harmony Festival, Miss Saturday will have a chance to become Pinocchio's rising star."

Although his knowledge of music is not profound, Jeremy can still distinguish between good and bad music.

Miss Saturday is literally outstanding in both her singing voice and musical ability. With such abilities, she should not be just an unknown apprentice singer.

The only explanation is that in the family struggle of Pinocchio, the family of Miss Saturday was suppressed, so that it has been unknown until now.

As for why Jeremy was so sure that Saturday was talented but not appreciated rather than just being indifferent to the world, it was mainly because of the song she sang when she tuned her piano for him just now.

That is the famous song of the robin, "Free a Heart from Sorrow". If you really don't care about the universal singer, you will not incorporate this tune into your own music.

"As for my reward, after the Harmony Festival is over, please ask Miss Saturday to give me a chance to visit Pinocchio openly."

"As a companion who has just been through the same boat, I trust Miss Saturday. Please don't sell me out."

Looking at the singer in front of him with a smile, Jeremy was very curious about her attitude... and her stance.

If you are ecstatic, your actions in Pinocchio will get a great boost, but you will also lose a friend.

If I flatly refuse and loudly scold him... I might have to be prepared to apologize to this companion I just met.

It's broken and it's coming for me.

The robin's heart skipped a beat, and his face remained expressionless, but he had already made a secret decision in his heart.

Call the police! Be sure to call the police!

When I return to Pinocchio, I will immediately tell my brother and the hound family about this matter. I must not let this guy enter Pinocchio's dream.

Robin gently tugged at Jeremy's sleeve, no longer caring whether this action would offend her or not. She just wanted to quickly take Jeremy away from this place that made her feel socially dead.

"...Did Mr. Jeramy say anything just now? Let's get going. I already know where the weak spot in the Memory Domain is. Just follow this long corridor and you'll find it in front of the closed door."

Volume 18: Mourning for the Dead

"Go through the long corridor ahead and you'll almost reach the border of the memory space."

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of it, the robin frowned in confusion.

She had left the dream in this way more than once. Logically, the door would move back as long as someone approached.

Just follow the door to the end and push it open to leave the dream.

However, most people who first enter the memory space do not understand the ins and outs of it, and can only wander in the hall until they fall asleep in their dreams.

Placing his palm on the door frame, the robin tried to push the door open, but the closed door stood firm as if it were cast in stone.

"Leave this kind of hard work to me, Miss Singer."

Seeing the robin's face flushed from the effort, Jeramy chuckled and placed his palms on the door.

squeak-

The tall door was pushed open with ease, without the strenuous resistance that the robin had felt just now. Instead, the robin almost stumbled due to the excessive force.

"The difference in treatment is too obvious."

She took several steps forward before steadying herself, and the robin grumbled slightly in dissatisfaction, but before she could raise her head, a childish yet familiar voice reached her ears.

[Mother, don’t go…]

The childish voice echoed in his ears, and the robin suddenly raised his head and looked at Jeremy behind him with an incredible look.

"Mr. Jeramy, did you hear any sound just now?"

Although it was a little unbelievable, the robin was very sure that the voice that just passed by his ears was Jeremy's.

But the voice was much more childish, more like that of a child than a teenager.

Moreover, compared to Jeremy's ease and composure, which was always accompanied by a smile, that voice seemed extremely flustered... and frightened.

As if worried about losing someone very important.

"Oh? Did Miss Saturday hear any noise?"

Looking at the robin in front of him, Jeremy tried hard to maintain his calm appearance, as if he really hadn't heard anything just now.

However, this is a lie.

Although it was very subtle, the robin still noticed it. Jeremy's expression suddenly became a little stiff, and the muscles on his face were shaking unnaturally.

Come to think of it, if even I could hear the echoes of the past, how could Mr. Jeremy, the master of the dream, not notice it at all?

Perhaps Mr. Jeramy doesn't want me to pry into his privacy.

"...Nothing, I guess I just misheard. After all, it's normal to occasionally experience various auditory hallucinations in a memory space."

Robin shook his head and turned his back to Jeremy, not wanting to delve into the matter any further.

However, she knew very well in her heart that if even she could hear that voice, then Jeremy, as the owner of the residual sound, could not be completely unaware of it.

He was just playing deaf and dumb.

There is nothing strange about this. Everyone has privacy that they don't want others to pry into. Since the person has denied it, if you accidentally pry into the other person's privacy, you just need to turn a deaf ear and keep the secret to yourself.

But even if the robin tried to ignore them, the echoes of the past would still ring in her ears.

Some are the tender cries of a child, while others are the gentle whispers of a woman.

[Mother, don’t leave me alone…]

[Breeding has taken away everything from us, even the once harmonious Zerg...]

With every step, new echoes reached the robin's ears, and the sounds became more and more panicked and anxious.

[I can help, I can do it, just turn the key three times...]

[Jerami, my lovely child, wait for me here...]

The further they walked, the clearer the voices of the child and the woman communicating became. They seemed to have a disagreement, or rather... in the increasingly serious situation, the woman's voice gradually no longer took Jeremy's feelings into consideration.

[Come down, Jun... Ugh, why can't I do this...]

[Hunter, this is the final commission. Take Jeramy away...]

Before they knew it, Robin and Jeremy had arrived at the last door, and the echoes in their ears gradually calmed down.

"Mr. Jeremy, this is it..."

Robin carefully observed Jeremy's expression. Although the boy was still trying to maintain his composure, the pair of eyes that had kept smiling even when fighting against the insect swarm no longer had the smile they had before. An incomprehensible emotion spread in his eyes.

All sorts of strange emotions intertwined in Jeremy's eyes, forming a color that even a robin could hardly describe in words or songs.

"After leaving the Memory Space, most people won't remember what happened there. It's like waking up from a hazy dream in countless mornings, leaving behind only a faint sense of melancholy at best."

Don't worry that I will remember the sound I just heard, I will forget it all.

I don’t know what her motivation was, whether it was to explain or to comfort, but the singer turned her back to Jeremy and slowly explained the experience of waking up from the memory space.

At least that's the case for most beginners.

"I don't think I'll ever forget what I experienced here. I met a singer whose melodies were like heavenly sounds, and we became companions with whom I had a decent relationship. This journey into memory land was definitely not just a fleeting dream for me."

Looking at the cautious Miss Singer, Jeremy couldn't help but smile. Thinking of the debt collector Huang Yu in the company who would cheat him every now and then, he couldn't help but sigh that the eldest lady of Pinocchio was more considerate.

"It seems our journey together ends here. Although the location of the door is a bit strange, it shouldn't be a problem."

Looking up at the last door stuck to the ceiling, Jeremy took out his venom spray gun and aimed it at the last obstacle to leaving the memory space.

"boom--"

Along with a slightly exaggerated voice, a spider silk as thick as a thumb shot out from the nozzle. The powerful force directly knocked open the tightly closed door, and after entering the door, it connected to the light screen displayed.

It was said a long time ago that spider silk can connect dreams and reality.

After such a long battle, Jeremy had already analyzed the boundaries of this memory space. Now that the robin brought him to this weak point, connecting dreams and reality was naturally a piece of cake.

"Please, Miss Saturday, I hope you can find your own value in the sober reality."

Tying the other end of the spider silk around the robin's waist, Jeremy snapped his fingers, and the spider silk connecting dreams and reality was pulled higher little by little, bringing the blue-purple singer out of the dream.

"Mr. Jeramy, I wish you the same... Watch your back!"

The robin, floating in the air and slowly rising, waved to Jeremy and was about to give him his farewell wishes, but saw a scarlet light rushing towards Jeremy from the end of the corridor.
