~7 min read 1,207 words

【Robin smiled: "A philosopher who is good at thinking... I hope I didn't disturb you."】

【The quiet old guest smiled lightly and said: "No, I don't have much time left, I hope someone can talk to me—not to mention a noble lady like you. If it's convenient, would you like to chat?"】

【Robin said softly: "I'd be happy to, let's just chat casually. You mentioned 【not much time left】 just now... forgive my presumption, is this why you came here?"】

【The quiet old guest smiled calmly: "Hehe, yes... I was on the battlefield, and when I crawled out of Suku's mothership, I was stuffed with some radioactive iron lumps in my head."】

【"What else? All my comrades are gone, and my hometown melted in several neutron radiation bombings. Hmph, it's all gone, I really can't live on... but I heard that there is a way here, so I came."】

【Robin comforted: "Too regrettable... I hope the Family can solve your worries."】

【The quiet old guest said: "The Family has indeed helped me a lot, and I want to express my deepest gratitude for this. They arranged a comfortable room for me, the most advanced life-support equipment, and a full platoon of nurses."】

【"Now my body is fixed in the dream pool, relying on life-support equipment to survive. The me you see is complete, clear-headed, and no different from a normal person... but the me in the hotel is not like this."】

【"The real appearance..." The quiet old guest smiled and said: "Heh, Miss Robin, I hope you will never see it."】

【Robin said softly: "So... you are going to live in this dreamscape forever, right?"】

【The quiet old guest smiled lightly and said: "Hehe, it's a blessing to be able to live. It doesn't matter if it's a dream or not, after all, I have no choice."】

【"My world was originally incomplete, and it might disappear in the next moment, so... even if the dreamscape is fake, it is a paradise for me. I cherish every moment here."】

【"Ha, I really envy these eternal things."】

【Robin's face showed sadness, and she said: "The story of that old man... is too sad, fortunately, this dreamscape has indeed left a happy thought for his remaining life."】

【Sunday nodded slightly and said warmly: "This is the meaning of the existence of Penacony's sweet dreams."】

【Robin's eyes were firm, and she said: "But sweet dreams have limitations after all. It is just a harbor for the frustrated to avoid the wind, and cannot eradicate pain from the source of reality."】

【Sunday smiled and comforted: "There will be a way—Penacony is already on the right path."】

The place where the Astral Express crew is located.

March 7th said with a low expression: "That old man, being able to spend his remaining time so stably and peacefully, is also a kind of happiness."】

Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and said: "Or rather, this should be the correct meaning of Penacony's sweet dreams, and it is also the Penacony that 【The Watchmaker】 and the others wanted to establish."】

Dan Heng nodded and said: "For those who are frustrated, Penacony is also a choice to heal their hearts, but if they sink into it, it will be counterproductive, turning this sweet dream into an abyss that devours the spirit."】

【After saying goodbye to the quiet old guest, Sunday and Robin met a figure that shocked them both.】

【She had the same appearance and dress as Robin, but obviously she was not the real Robin, but the Masked Fool Sparkle.】

【Looking at the arrival of the siblings Sunday and Robin, Sparkle, who was disguised as Robin, had a playful look in her eyes and greeted: "Look—who is this cute lady?"】

【Robin was also a bit dazed and exclaimed: "Huh, that is... myself?"】

【Looking at the two in front of her, Sparkle, disguised as Robin, pretended to be and said: "Brother! What a coincidence, we meet again."】

The livestream room.

"Good guy, Sparkle is dancing in a minefield."

"This is Elation, Sparkle is really looking for fun all the time."

"Calling brother in front of the real person, is this 'offending the sister'?"

"The guy upstairs, you are very wrong, driving again."

"The guy upstairs, you are very right, please add more effort."

"Who are you people, why can't I understand what you are saying."

"Oh, you don't understand, you can come to my room, I'll teach you!"】

"Jie-ge, don't!"】

"Who is Jie-ge?"】

"I don't know, somehow, this sentence popped out."】

"Hurry up and fork these people who are driving out."】

【In the game plot, looking at Sparkle disguised as Robin, Sunday's expression was indifferent, and he said calmly: "Show your true form, your tricks are useless to us."】

【Robin also understood the identity of the person in front of her, and said calmly: "I heard that a Masked Fool who is good at deception also received an invitation... it seems it is you. Are you having fun?"】

【Sparkle also revealed her true form, spread her hands, and said boringly: "Barely. People here are too easy to deceive, they will take the bait if you give them a little sweetness, and shrink back quickly when there is danger—simply put, they are stupid, rich, and afraid of death!"】

【Robin issued an eviction order and said: "Since you've had enough fun, it's better to leave early. The movement of 【Harmony】 cannot tolerate noise."】

【Sparkle pretended to be 'slaughtered after the donkey is used' and teased: "Why? The real one is back, so I'm useless? It's a pity I helped the Family so much, it's really chilling."】

【"You should thank me properly. If I hadn't been willing to clean up this mess... Penacony would have been in a mess by now, right?"】

【Sunday said in a deep voice: "That was the private request of the Iris Family head, and it has nothing to do with us. Step back, don't cause trouble for the Charmony Festival anymore."】

【For Sunday's cold words, Sparkle chuckled, her eyes faintly sharp, and said: "Charmony Festival? Hmph, who are you scaring? Do you think I don't know what you are planning?"】

【"Not to mention what you are thinking, chicken-wing boy, our cute Miss Robin should have made up her mind not to go on stage now, right? After all, you have also seen how ugly this sweet dream is under the operation of 【Harmony】..."】

【"【Land of Dreams】 Penacony... is the paradise you siblings want like this?"】

【Sunday's face sank, and he said coldly: "... Shut up."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

In a teahouse where players gather.

"Sparkle's words are harsh, but they hit the point."】

"Sunday should also know this, which is why he was rarely out of composure."】

"Speaking of which, it seems so. The last time he lost composure was because Miss Robin was harmed. Here... just because it touched the dream?"】

"Dream? Look at the guests who are indulging in the current sweet dream. 【Land of Dreams】 Penacony, when has there ever been a dream?"】

"Indulging in fake happiness, indulging the spirit, is just sinking into depravity, and has nothing to do with the word dream."】

"Ha, speaking of which, the name 【Penacony】 Land of Dreams seems quite ironic now."】 ===== CHAPTER 348 =====
