"You actually heard it!"

Firefly looked at Stelle in surprise.

Then, Lumine, Arlecchino, Clorinde, and other passengers of the Astral Express gave the same affirmative answer.

"You all heard it?!"

Firefly was stunned, and her heart was even more confused.

"In any case, the sound I heard exists."

"Mikhail... what does that mean? And those monsters wouldn't talk either."

"Wait, being able to talk means it's a human? Could it be a traitor of The Family?"

Paimon exclaimed.

"Let's go see and we'll know."

Stelle took out her baseball bat and decisively bypassed the obstacles in the opposite direction, walking toward the direction the sound came from.

Firefly, Lumine, Paimon, Sigewinne, and the others saw this and quickly followed Stelle's footsteps.

However, when the group arrived at their destination, what appeared before them was not some vicious person, but a timid-looking boy wearing blue clothes.

"Who... who are you?"

The timid boy looked at the people who suddenly appeared before him and asked in suspicion.

"That's what I should be asking you. Who are you, and why would you appear in this strange place?"

Paimon gathered her courage and asked the boy.

Although the other party didn't look like a dangerous person, being able to appear in this mysterious space and still be a normal person who could converse made Paimon have to be vigilant.

"I... I am Misha. I also don't know why I suddenly appeared in this place."

"This place looks so strange. By the way, have you seen Mikhail? I can't find him anywhere."

Misha shook his head and explained.

"I don't know. By the way, who is Mikhail? And why are you looking for him?"

"No, now is not the time to talk about this. You said you don't know why you appeared here."

"But at least you can tell us what you were doing before you came here?"

Paimon asked curiously.

"I... I..."

Misha opened his mouth wanting to answer Paimon, but soon showed a difficult expression again.

"Can't you answer us?"

Sigewinne asked.

"I... I can't remember clearly."

Misha pursed his lips and said.

"Can't remember clearly? Could it be amnesia?"

Stelle rested her chin on one hand and said.

"Amnesia..."

Misha seemed to be touched by Stelle's question; he buried his head deeply, appearing to be thinking hard.

Seeing Misha in such a state, the group didn't find it appropriate to continue questioning him.

"Um... may I ask, who are you talking to?"

Suddenly, Firefly opened her mouth and asked Stelle, Paimon, and the others in a low voice.

"Of course we are talking to Misha. Didn't you hear him say his name, Miss Firefly?"

Paimon looked at Firefly strangely.

"Misha..."

Firefly looked at Stelle, Sigewinne, Venti, and the others. Although they didn't speak, they clearly all agreed with Paimon's statement.

"What's wrong with you? Is there a problem?"

Stelle asked.

"... Actually, I can't see the Misha you are talking about."

Firefly thought for a moment before explaining.

"Can't see? What does that mean?"

"Isn't he standing right here?"

Paimon pointed at Misha, who was thinking with his head down, and her expression became even stranger.

"But in the place I'm looking at, there is nothing."

Firefly shook her head, still insisting on her statement.

She felt confused; clearly, she hadn't seen anything, hadn't heard anything.

But Stelle, as well as Paimon, Lumine, and other passengers of the Astral Express seemed to be able to see and hear Misha.

This made Firefly feel that Paimon and the others weren't joking with her.

What she didn't know was that Misha was actually a collection of related memories in the Memory Bubble left by the former Nameless, the Clockmaker.

He was born with self-awareness and, because he sensed the aura of the Nameless, left the Memory Bubble and accidentally fell into the crack between Penacony's reality and the dream.

The Clockmaker was a former Nameless, and Misha inherited certain characteristics of the Clockmaker, Mikhail.

This allowed only the Nameless to truly notice his existence.

Of course, the train passengers blessed by Luo Feng could also notice Misha's existence.

Luo Feng, who was tasting the food in the dream with Acheron and Yukong in the Penacony dream, felt a bit surprised after seeing Misha through Paimon's lens.

After all, in the original game plot, Misha didn't appear in this place.

However, associating it with the fact that in the game plot, the opening of the Penacony chapter was already the moment the Nameless fell into the Dream of Order, then at this time when the Dream of Order hadn't yet unfolded, Misha appearing before Stelle, Paimon, and the others wasn't too strange.

"Misha in this state should have just come out of the Memory Bubble not long ago."

"He might not yet know Gallagher and the 【Something】 kept by Gallagher."

"Interesting! It makes one want to participate right now."

Luo Feng's mouth curled up slightly.

However, thinking that if he went over now, it might cause the Teyvat passengers who could have taken this opportunity to step onto a Path to lose their chance, and it would also make Tingyun and Black Swan's trip to that dream lose its meaning, Luo Feng gave up this decision and instead continued to stroll leisurely with Yukong and Acheron.

………………

"Ah?" Paimon opened her mouth wide, moved a few steps away from Misha, and said vigilantly: "He... he wouldn't be a ghost, would he? That's why Firefly can't see him?"

"But if Misha is a ghost, why can we see him?" Lumine crossed her arms and carefully sized up the Misha before her.

From her perspective, the Misha before her was no different from the Dreamseekers who appeared in the Penacony dream.

If one really wanted to talk about ghosts, the future Aventurine and the past Aventurine born through the Harmony's baptism were more like ghosts.

At least the Misha before her didn't need them to use the Teyvat forum as eyes to capture.

【Mualani: The Traveler is right. If this Misha were really a ghost, it would be impossible for all the Astral Express passengers and Stelle, who is a Nameless, to see him.】

【Mona: Since it's not a problem with the Traveler and the others, could it be a problem with Miss Firefly?】

【Barbelos: Although there is such a possibility, it is also possible that Misha is somewhat special, which leads to only Stelle, the Traveler, and them being able to see him.】

【Candace: Since we can all see this boy, we can only conclude that he is a real person.】

【Dehya: Although I'm very curious why Miss Firefly can't see this Misha, I'm even more curious why this Misha appeared here, and who he really is.】

"I... I seem to remember."

Suddenly, Misha raised his head and said to Stelle, Lumine, and the others before him:

"I am a bellboy at the Reverie Hotel, a person who dreams of becoming a galactic adventurer like my grandfather."

"Um... you are all people from all over the universe, right? Can you tell me about your interstellar experiences?"

"Ah?" Paimon looked at Misha's sparkling eyes in surprise.

How could the person she thought was a ghost a second ago now be asking them for interstellar experiences? Isn't this a bit wrong?!

"However, a person who can say such things and show such expressions shouldn't be any ghost, nor any dangerous element like a traitor."

Paimon stroked her forehead with her right hand and muttered in a low voice.

Although the fact that Firefly couldn't see Misha still made Paimon feel confused, she no longer felt afraid of Misha's existence.

"A bellboy at the Reverie Hotel? We didn't see him when we checked into the hotel?"

Collei recalled it and said somewhat strangely.

"If he wasn't lying, it might be because the Reverie Hotel is too big and there are too many Dreamseekers." ===== CHAPTER 1771 =====
