Chapter 113

Welt: "A true... dream?"

Furina: "But aren't they already in a dream right now?"

Gan Yu: "Could it be... a dream within a dream?"

Paimon: "Oh no, I don't get it at all. This is way too complicated!"

Ying: "I feel like if it were me and Paimon here, we'd be completely lost."

Amber: "I wonder if you've noticed something."

Amber: "At the very end, Miss Huahuo called out Mr. Sanbo's name."

Colette: "Could it be... could they know each other?"

Stelle: "It's not just knowing each other—by Huahuo's tone, they're clearly family!"

Dan Heng: "Mr. Sanbo, you're clearly also a member of the Masked Fools!"

She: "Sanbo is one of the Masked Fools?!"

She: "This bastard hid it so well!"

Jepart: "So he's a Masked Fool who excels at disguise. No wonder we could never catch him."

Sanbo: "Big brothers and big sisters, I admit it—I am a Masked Fool!"

Sanbo: "But I'm nothing like that Huahuo! I have a conscience!"

Sanbo: "I just go around looking for small thrills, having a bit of fun. I'd never plan anything outrageous."

Huahuo: "Sanbo, do you even believe what you're saying?"

Huahuo: "A Masked Fool claiming to have a conscience... Hahahahaha... May the Jester God bless me, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts."

Sanbo: "Why wouldn't I believe it? I, Sanbo, am a man with a conscience!"

Sanbo: "Besides, I kindly told you a story, and you turn right around and use my identity to swindle people!"

Sanbo: "You've betrayed me!!"

Huahuo: "Come on, I'm a Fool and you're a Fool—between Fools, there's no such thing as betrayal."

Stelle: "Enough, enough, stop playing this double act."

Stelle: "Neither of you are good people anyway."

Huahuo: "Of course I'm not a thing—I'm a person, hehe~"

Sanbo: "Hey, lady, I helped you out with the Luoboge Gang, you can't just write me off because I'm a Fool, right?"

March 7th: "Huh... you've got a point. Our train crew isn't that unreasonable."

Stelle: "Alright, then we'll see how you behave from here on."

Gold砂: "Everyone... you seem to have mistaken the gravity."

Gold砂: "Shouldn't we be focusing on what the family hid within this so-called beautiful dream?"

Truth Doctor: "The gambler speaks truth. The moment to reveal the truth has come—we should watch carefully."

Redbird: "What... exactly is going on here..."

Sunday: "... Trust the family!"

The video continues.

【Hmm... where is this...?】

【Did I return to the hotel?】

【No, the atmosphere feels... like the scenery from when I first entered the dream...】

Stelle awoke in a strange hotel room.

When she woke, no one else was beside her.

Stelle pondered for a moment,

then prepared to take out her phone and notify everyone first.

Yet after sending two messages,

she found they wouldn't go through.

【Can't get through...】

Stelle sighed helplessly.

She could only begin investigating the strange room.

【Good heavens... this is too eerie...】

Strange sights filled the room,

sending a chill through Stelle's heart.

【... Liu Ying?】

Stelle stepped out of the room,

and found Liu Ying's figure at the door.

【Ah... Stelle!】

【You're here too...】

Liu Ying was overjoyed to see Stelle.

【Have we already died...?】

Stelle asked.

【I... don't know.】

【But we're definitely still in a dream, not somewhere else, and certainly not reality—the air carries the sensation of memory essence; I wouldn't mistake it.】

【But this place is so different from the beautiful dream I know—claustrophobic... silent... uneasy... and these floating words—you can see them too, right?】

【Under the family's governance, Pinoconny could never have a place like this. So, is it a dream bubble...?】

【No, that's not right—remember, before we lost consciousness, your friend said this...】

【The true dreamscape...】

Liuying shook her head, then analyzed a few points.

【He is not my friend.】

Stelle rebutted.

【I should have suspected him earlier... I'm sorry.】

【Regardless, the family must be hiding something—about the truth of the dreamscape...】

【And you noticed it when you woke up, didn't you? The clocks scattered everywhere, and the ticking...】

【My intuition tells me the secret hidden here is probably connected to that mysterious clockmaker.】

【If it points to the clockmaker's legacy—it concerns everyone currently in Pinoconny.】

【Let's go, Stelle... Whether to uncover the truth or leave this place, we must set out.】

Liuying's expression grew increasingly solemn,

and then she began pulling Stelle into motion.

They observed their surroundings,

and finally chose a direction to head.

【We can't go through here—take the corridor beside it.】

At a dead end with no path,

Liuying looked around, then said to Stelle.

Stelle nodded, then walked toward the door on the left, opened it,

revealing stairs leading downward.

The two exchanged a glance,

and began descending the stairs.

Along the way,

strange characters occasionally popped up.

【Huh? This is another dead end...】

【Look at the room's structure—could it be asking us to go around through the walls?】

After descending the stairs,

they found no path ahead.

And at this moment, Liuying,
