Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 270 The Passage Through Time

I've been wandering around Pinocchio for so long, and there's still no response to the invitation.

Before the clockmaker's grave, it trembled with excitement.

Ah, you've found the place?

Yunzhi didn't release the invitation immediately; who knows what other things might happen next?

Ascending the high steps, under the watchful eye of the gravedigger, they arrived at the small garden.

In the courtyard of the garden, an old man lay quietly asleep in an armchair, holding a dream bubble in his arms and a hat perched crookedly on his head.

This is the watchmaker, the legendary tycoon of Pinocchio.

Perhaps because he was dreaming, he looked as if he were asleep.

"His legacy is a dream bubble, and I guess it contains something that only the nameless one can understand."

Gallagher explained, "But when I checked the contents, I found nothing inside. Maybe it's some kind of pioneering code..."

"It's normal to have nothing at all."

Yun interrupted Gallagher:

"Dream bubbles are empty."

Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned.

"Empty?"

March 7th was extremely surprised: "Why is it an empty dream bubble?"

They didn't doubt the truth of Yun's words, but they were indeed shocked.

Gallagher wasn't surprised: "It doesn't seem strange... He always had an inexplicable confidence in the nameless guest. In his plans, pioneers always had a place. I don't know where this confidence comes from. The still-living Shu Huan has never successfully contacted the train."

Yunzhi couldn't help but explain to him, "It's normal that he can't get in touch with us. During the time that Pinocchio had the accident, the Starry Sky Train was probably damaged and stranded. Later, Himeko repaired it and then it continued its journey."

Yun looked at Himeko.

Himeko nodded: "When I saw the Star Train, it had indeed been damaged for a long time."

She fixed it.

So even now, she still feels that in Pam's eyes, she is probably just a train mechanic.

However, she likes it very much.

The train conductor is someone you should appease.

Gallagher sighed: "I understand. I later found out after my investigation that the Star Train had experienced a period of stagnation."

Mikhail simply didn't know.

He never contacted the train again, nor did he ever look back at his distant homeland.

Pinocene was his second home, but now it's become a ghost town...

It's upsetting.

"Moreover, it's not that the dream bubble is empty, but rather..."

Yunzhi's gaze fell upon the Dream Reef below, illuminated by twinkling lights:

"The contents of the dream bubble... have left."

"Why???"

Xing's eyes widened immediately: "Wait, could it be...?"

Judging from the color scheme and the appearance... Xing felt that she had figured out the truth.

"It's exactly what you think."

Yunzhi expressed his agreement.

Xing scratched her head: "So, Misha is...."

At first, she thought he was just a hotel doorman, but later she thought he might be a memory meme.

But I never imagined that Misha was actually a memory that the watchmaker had preserved in his dream bubble.

"So, how did he get out?"

The latest question was raised on March 7.

Yun Zhi shrugged: "He'll probably never forget [Pioneer]... I'll go find him later."

Walter thought for a moment: "Isn't he right here at Dream Reef?"

When He Xing was searching for March 7 and Himeko, Walter had already seen Misha and the clock boy beside him.

"Let's wait a bit. Anyway, the main enforcers of [Order] have already turned themselves in. Even if they want to do something else, the Dream Master will have to take action himself."

Yun Zhi remained completely calm, even composed: "Besides, I also have something very important to deal with..."

He took the beautiful music box out of his bag.

"Hmm? An invitation?"

March 7th leaned over to take a look: "It's not much different from ours..."

After careful observation, Himeko shook her head: "Zhi's invitation seems to be older."

"Yes, I don't even know where it came from."

Yun Zhisong released his grip, letting the music box float in the air: "This music box wasn't a gift from Mr. Gallagher, nor from anyone in the 'family'... Xing, tone down your burning gaze, it wasn't a gift from any Heavenly Lord either."

The group of friends all turned to look at the star.

Xing gave an awkward laugh.

—She really did think of several star gods just now.

You can't blame her for that, after all, her divine lineage is too vast.

Walter then recalled what Huang Quan had said.

—If Huang Quan had seen Yun Zhi, but Yun Zhi had never seen her…

Is this invitation...?

"The hunting expedition has a cause and effect."

Yunzhi's words also prove this point: "Sometimes bullet holes exist before the trajectory of the bullet."

Therefore, this music box is not an invitation at all, but a "fruit".

The "effect" leading to the "cause".

The others hadn't reacted yet.

But Walter had already guessed what Cloud wanted to do.

"This invitation... can help you travel through time, right?"

"Yes."

Yun tapped the lid of the music box.

"Although I don't know exactly what it is about that's worth someone going to such lengths to send me a letter."

Anyway, there's still plenty of time. Traveling through time to take care of something shouldn't be a problem.

The bullets fired during a hunt can travel through time and space...

There's no reason why arrows can't do it.

--------------

At this moment, in the lobby of the Daydream Hotel (in reality).

Judge Xueyi, accompanied by the military officers of the Ten Kings Division, walked to the front desk and coldly looked at the pitiful receptionist:

"I am the judge of the Ten Kings Division of the Immortal Boat Luofu."

"By order of the First Envoy of the [Hunting] Bureau, True Lord Jingfeng Baiyu, we have come to arrest the serious criminal who colluded with the abundant evil creatures and sabotaged the confidential prison, the Escape Prison!"

Please cooperate.

Xueyi's tone wasn't as aggressive.

But it really chills one's heart.

Danheng and Portio, who followed them into Pinocchio, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

"Holy crap... I thought Luo Fu had really breathed his last..."

Potio was dumbfounded.

After all, the news that Luofu had lost a serious criminal a few days ago had spread quite widely.

No matter what, what was lost was the Great Lord of Annihilation, the messenger of [Destruction].

Many people are waiting to see how the First Envoy will handle this matter.

But the first order made him as quiet as a chicken.

Looking at it now...

So it wasn't just being quiet like a chicken, it was directly calling someone over to come right up to you and unleash a powerful attack!
