Chapter 326

【"That will be your next stop."】

【Firefly's figure said with some longing and tranquility: "The Land of Dreams. Penacony."】

【"I wish you find the answer you want there... or, liberation."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

In the teahouse where players gathered.

"Miss Firefly and Miss Acheron have both said similar things."

"Even if the ending is destined, the road to the ending is ultimately chosen by oneself. If Miss Firefly and Miss Acheron met, they should also have a common language."

"It really is like that. From this point, it can be seen that they might also get along very well."

"But the Yepella Brotherhood? I seem to have some impression; it seems to be a branch of the Annihilation Gang."

"But looking at it, the time this conversation took place should be in some time in the past."

【This memory of the King ended quickly, and the screen slowly darkened again. Immediately, in a dark alley, Welt saw Stelle and Firefly appear before his eyes, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.】

【Stelle looked at Welt, who appeared here, and was also a bit surprised.】

【Firefly looked at Stelle and explained: "【Close your eyes】... This is the answer. It's incredible, isn't it? The monster we have always regarded as 【Death】 is actually the guardian of the Land of Exile. It follows a certain specific rule, kidnapping people in the sweet dream and bringing them here."】

【Welt Yang also said: "We have been confused about 【whether there is true death in the dreamscape】 before. Now it seems it is completely a thinking trap set by the mastermind to cover up the truth of people's disappearance, and... this stronghold named 【Dreamflux Reef】."】

【"Every appearance of that meme is related to the 【Watchmaker】. Since Dreamflux Reef is the destination where it kidnaps everyone, many problems that have troubled us for a long time should be able to get inspiration here."】

【Although Dreamflux Reef is also a dreamscape, the atmosphere here is clearly different from the sweet dream under the Family's management, and Firefly also heard the name of Gallagher, the Bloodhound Family officer she had contacted before, here.】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Seat of Divine Foresight.

"Watchmaker? Gallagher? Dreamflux Reef not under the Family's control?"

Jing Yuan whispered the known content, pondering, and said: "It seems many secrets can find answers and clues here."

Yanqing also noticed: "When communicating with Gallagher before, he seemed to have a complex connection with the Watchmaker, and the Watchmaker and the Family are not as close as the outside world perceives."

"And that Memory Zone Meme—who would have thought that this monster that looks ferocious is actually the gateway to Dreamflux Reef?"

【From Welt Yang's mouth, Himeko and March 7th had already investigated first. Next is to go to this true dreamscape, the Land of Exile, to investigate and reunite with Himeko and March 7th.】

【However, before leaving, one can talk to Firefly and Welt Yang to learn more information.】

【In the exchange with Firefly, Stelle also learned that in the 【Script】 Elio gave Firefly, the opposition between Sam and the Astral Express was inevitable. Firefly tried to organize such development, but in the end, she could only do so much.】

【And Firefly clearly also wanted to walk with the Trailblazer in her true form... instead of in the Sam armor.】

【To this, Stelle just looked at Firefly with a smile, shook her head, and said: "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart."】

【Firefly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and smiled: "... Thank you."】

【Subsequently, when asking about the 【Watchmaker's Legacy】, she also learned that Elio seemed to want the Astral Express to chase this legacy, and this legacy was of extraordinary significance to 【Trailblaze】 and Stelle.】

【As for Sam, it was the medical pod Firefly mentioned; its origin full name is 【Glamoth Iron Cavalry of the Firmament Front, Firefly Type-IV Strategic Assault (S. A. M.) Armor】.】

【In the conversation with Welt Yang, regarding Acheron's slash earlier, Welt Yang also understood why Acheron was unwilling to draw her blade. In the end, if it weren't for Aventurine's Preservation power, the entire dreamscape would probably have been affected.】

【When talking about Gallagher, Welt Yang also noticed the information obtained earlier regarding Mikhail—the former 【Watchmaker】—who built the current Penacony together with the Family, and then broke with the Family for unknown reasons.】

【But why did Gallagher deliberately bring up this information that seemed unrelated to the murder case at the time? And from Firefly's mouth, it was mentioned that she heard this name in Dreamflux Reef. Clearly, it is impossible not to be concerned about it.】

【Finally, the two talked about the current situation of Firefly and the Express crew. Welt Yang said that before finding Stelle, Firefly had found the Express crew to reveal her identity as a Stellaron Hunter and shared a lot of information, establishing a certain foundation of trust.】

The place where the Astral Express crew was located.

March 7th sighed: "I feel that now all the key points have come to Gallagher and the Watchmaker's legacy."

Dan Heng nodded and said: "But since someone mentioned Gallagher's name here in Dreamflux Reef, then his traces can be found here. Don't forget that he also directed the Memory Zone Meme to attack Sunday earlier. But judging from the current situation, he should be trying to bring Sunday to Dreamflux Reef."

Welt Yang also nodded and said: "And Miss Robin earlier should be the same."

March 7th also noticed this and said happily: "Then will we be able to see Miss Robin again next?"

【After a brief conversation, Stelle, Firefly, and Welt Yang passed through the alley, took the elevator under the giant Clockie statue, and arrived at the center of the Land of Exile.】

【After getting out of the elevator, Firefly parted ways with Stelle and Welt Yang.】

【Stelle and Welt Yang went to reunite with Himeko and March 7th first, while Firefly was going to try to find Gallagher first.】

【After splitting up, Stelle and Welt Yang encountered a surprised and familiar figure.】

【Blue short hair, delicate features—it was exactly the bellboy of the 【Reverie】 hotel, Misha.】

The livestream room.

"This is... the bellboy boy from before?"

"What bellboy boy, his name is Misha."

"Did you see? Clockie is also by his side."

"We can see it based on the game, but Mr. Welt might find it hard to see."

"To be honest, Misha appearing here feels a bit strange."

"You saying that is true. Could it be that this child is also not as simple as he appears on the surface?"

"Maybe it really is. Now, whatever happens in Penacony, I can face it calmly."

【And Welt Yang was clearly also puzzled by this point. Stelle and Welt Yang nodded and walked to Misha.】

【Seeing Stelle, Misha also greeted her with some surprise, then looked at Welt Yang and introduced himself: "Eh, it's the previous guest, we meet again! And this new friend... forgot to introduce, I am the hotel bellboy Misha."】

【Welt Yang also responded: "Hello, Misha, my name is Welt. We met when entering the dream..."】

【Suddenly, Welt Yang seemed to notice Clockie beside Misha. Seeing him for the first time, he asked with some doubt: "... Hmm? Who is this beside you..."】

【Seeing the topic fall on himself, Clockie immediately spoke: "Tick-tock! Old friend and new friend, let's high-five!"】

【Stelle saw Welt Yang could see Clockie and couldn't help but be surprised: "Mr. Welt is still young at heart!"】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

In the teahouse where players gathered.

"My god, Mr. Welt can actually see Clockie too?"

"Hahaha, Stelle probably didn't expect it either. Mr. Welt, who has always been like a parent, actually still retains a young heart."

"Could it be because Dreamflux Reef is different from the previous sweet dream, and everyone here can see this Clockie, which is nothing unusual?"

"There is this possibility. After all, this Dreamflux Reef looks very different."

"Maybe Mr. Welt is also a person with a young heart?"

"No way, after all, Mr. Welt looks so mature and steady."

【Welt Yang guessed Clockie's identity and said: "Are you... a Memory Zone Meme?"】

【Misha shook his head and explained: "No. Clockie is my good partner, our home is here."】

【"How did the two guests come here? Logically speaking, this dreamscape should not be open to the public... Could it be 【Cotton】?"】

【Welt Yang was a bit surprised and puzzled: "You said, this is your home?"】

【Misha nodded and said: "Yes. After the work in the sweet dream is finished, I will go home. The traffic is still convenient, but since it's impossible to pass freely, Cotton has been taking people back and forth between the two dreamscapes."】

【Welt Yang seemed to notice the key point and said: "Who is that 【Cotton】... Can you describe its appearance?"】

【Misha thought for a while and said: "Cotton is a Memory Zone Meme, it looks fierce, with many big eyes. But it is very obedient, and Gallagher has always been taking care of Cotton."】

The livestream room.

"Good guy, that Memory Zone Meme that looks dangerous is actually called Cotton?!"

"This cute name doesn't match it at all."

"But judging from Misha's words, this Cotton seems to be the bridge between the sweet dream and the Dreamflux Reef dreamscape... It feels different from what Sunday mentioned earlier."

"Could it be that Sunday doesn't know about this either?"

"It still feels like it doesn't make sense."

"Judging from Sunday's reaction to Robin's murder, he really doesn't know about Cotton and Dreamflux Reef, otherwise he wouldn't have angrily scolded Gallagher because of this."

"Speaking of Gallagher, Misha also mentioned this name. That Memory Zone Meme is indeed controlled by Gallagher."

"Sigh, every time some problems are solved, new doubts pop up. I don't know when it will end."

【After confirming that Cotton is indeed that Memory Zone Meme, Welt immediately asked if Cotton had brought any guests over in the past two days, and Misha didn't know much about it, only pointing out that they could ask Gallagher.】

【However, according to Misha, Gallagher is currently receiving guests from the Oak Family and specifically blessed everyone not to disturb them.】

【Misha looked at Stelle and Welt Yang and suddenly said: "Hmm, Mr. Welt, the person you are looking for..."】

【"Could it be Miss Robin?"】

【Welt Yang heard this, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "... Sure enough. With Miss Firefly as a precedent, it was within expectations."】

【Misha heard this and enthusiastically wanted to lead the way for Stelle and Welt Yang to find their companions and go find Robin together.】

【Stelle and Welt Yang, who were following Misha, were also talking.】

【Welt Yang said: "In this way, the two murder cases troubling Penacony have an answer. It's just that the mastermind's intention... has become even more confusing."】 ===== CHAPTER 327 =====
