"Liu Ying is not a guest of the hotel, and she is somewhat resistant to waking up, so she is most likely still in the dream hotel."

Qiong shared his guess, saying that although he couldn't be 100% sure, he was about 80% certain.

"How come I've only just taken on this task and already encountered such a troublesome situation? Why don't you hurry up and go?"

Black Swan was also speechless. She felt that any normal person would scream and run for their life if they encountered such a dream. Why didn't they want to wake up?

"you're right."

Qiong immediately got up from the black swan, activated the control panel of the Dream Pool, and lay down inside. The feeling of entering the dream was the same as before, and he quickly fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he was in a dark-toned dream hotel room.

"Come here, darling."

Black Swan stood in front of the door and waved to Qiong. Qiong wanted to laugh when she heard her address. This wicked woman had already started to seduce her, but she couldn't laugh yet, at least not until she found Liuying.

"Don't worry, your companions are safe too. Before entering the dream, I asked each of them for a small piece of jewelry, which will allow me to sense their presence in the memory realm."

Black Swan spoke up, explaining that she chose to travel with Qiong because of his special status; as for the others, they didn't receive the special service of being personally accompanied by the Memory Master.

After the two walked out of the room, a familiar corridor appeared before them. Black Swan led the way, but they saw many monster corpses along the way.

"There seems to be someone else here. Who could it be?"

The black swan looked at the corpses on the ground and said that the corpses were very fresh, as if they had just been killed and had lost their life force. Moreover, they died peacefully, as if they had died without pain before they even realized what was happening.

Qiong felt he knew who did it, so he sped up and ran forward. After leaving the corridor, he arrived at a hotel's public lounge area. It was very spacious. Qiong stood at the top of the stairs and looked down. He saw a white shadow flashing around. The public lounge area was originally occupied by monsters, but every time the white shadow flashed, a monster lost its life and fell down. Soon, the area was cleared out, and the ground was full of monster corpses.

Huang Quan appeared on the open ground, holding the scabbard behind his back, and slowly inserted the katana into the scabbard with his right hand.

Chapter 78 Don't Hurt My Wife

"Ugh."

Black Swan was traumatized when she saw Huang Quan. She screamed and hid behind Qiong. The sound also caught Huang Quan's attention.

"Ah Quan, you're here too."

Qiong was relieved to see that Huang Quan had also arrived. In fact, this was to be expected, as they had entered the Dream Pool together. After entering the password, she was also pulled in, which was one of Qiong's plans.

"I got lost and ended up here. I didn't expect to find you here too."

Huang Quan remained calm about her situation. She had been to dangerous places before, and she didn't even think about why there were monsters in her dreams.

"Hey, is it you?"

Huang Quan saw the black swan hiding behind Qiong, and the single eye that wasn't covered by hair revealed a color different from usual.

"not me."

Black Swan shook her head and said that she really hoped Huang Quan could forget everything about her and never think about plucking her feathers again, as it was too unseemly for a woman.

"You know her, don't you?"

Qiong said with a smile, although it was very impolite, but when he thought about what happened to the black swan, he really couldn't control himself.

“She is the one I mentioned to you who remembers,” Huang Quan said.

"Yes, I remember. I heard that something pleasant happened between you two."

Qiong had previously encountered Huang Quan, who was being questioned by her family, in a dream. It was then that she heard Huang Quan mention meeting the Memory Maker. She hadn't expected this, but it turned out to be foreshadowing. Hearing Qiong use the word "pleasant" to describe it, Black Swan poked his back with her finger in displeasure.

"Yes, I look forward to dancing with her again next time."

Huang Quan smiled and said, seemingly enjoying the memory of that dance. Black Swan, on the other hand, shuddered and wished she could leave right now.

"Okay, let's keep moving forward."

Seeing Huang Quan relentlessly adding fuel to the fire of Black Swan's psychological trauma, Qiong could only quickly change the subject. They still needed Black Swan to guide them, and it wouldn't be good to scare her away.

Huang Quan nodded. She was already used to acting with Qiong. Even though this was a strange dream, she could still cut a path with her katana, so she appeared very calm.

"This memory domain is not small, but it's as relaxing as an amusement park for those who experience memories. Come with me."

Black Swan quickly got into the zone. The best way to overcome fear is to face it, so she decided to face Huang Quan properly. Anyway, with Qiong here, she wasn't worried about what Huang Quan would do to her.

"Based on my observation of the memories, Himeko and Mitsuki should have reunited by now, but there are traces of a third person here. She is... the little girl who was with you."

Black Swan closed her eyes and sensed for a moment. Qiong didn't know what level the Memory Master could achieve in the dream, but it should be like fighting on home turf, after all, she was working for the Memory Star God.

"Come here."

After the black swan pointed out a path, they went straight ahead. They encountered a wall in the middle, but with the help of the golden dream bubble, Qiong and the others were able to change the gravity around them and move forward. After passing through a series of doors, they arrived at the lobby of the Dream Hotel.

The lobby was empty at the moment. As Qiong walked forward to the front desk, she finally saw the pale green figure not far away.

"Liuying!"

Qiong shouted happily, and Liuying immediately turned around upon hearing his voice. Her expression changed from serious to joyful, and she ran towards Qiong.

Just as the two were about to touch, a pale purple vortex appeared behind Liu Ying, and a scorpion-like monster named Yi Yu Mei Yin emerged from the vortex, its sharp arm blades stabbing towards Liu Ying's back.

Qiong's eyes widened instantly. He sensed danger but didn't know how to save Liuying under these circumstances. He couldn't do it with a baseball bat or a lance. In that instant, Qiong made a decision. He condensed a phantom of a star core in his hand and detonated it before it could take shape.

The force of the explosion slammed into Qiong, propelling him quickly to Liuying's side. He shoved her aside, causing the arm blade aimed at her to strike Qiong's chest directly, piercing him through.

"Qiong!"

Liu Ying and Huang Quan shouted at the same time. After Huang Quan finished shouting, she instantly drew her katana. Her body was quickly covered with bright red patterns, and her hair turned completely white in the blink of an eye. With a single slash, even space cracked.

"Ow!"

Memory Domain Meme let out a miserable cry. Looking again, its arm blade was completely severed, and a third of its body was also cut off. Before Huang Quan could strike a second time, it immediately shrank back into the vortex and disappeared.

Meanwhile, in a strange room, a black cat suddenly opened its eyes. It scratched its cheek with its paw and stared sharply into the void.

"Elliot?"

Kafka's voice came from outside the window. She was drinking red wine by the window and noticed her boss's unusual behavior, which was quite rare.

"It's nothing, it's just that there's a problem with my script."

The black cat spoke, its expression unchanged; to it, this was nothing to be alarmed about.

"This is the first time I've heard you mention something like this."

Kafka looked at the black cat in surprise and said, "Elio's script has never had a mistake. Even the slightest problem can affect the subsequent development."

"It's all because of your eldest son. Ever since he met that woman on the space station, he's had the ability to change the future. That's not a good thing."

The black cat raised its right paw to its mouth and licked it as it spoke, showing no anger at the fact that Qiong was an uncontrollable factor; on the contrary, it seemed to be praising her.

Kafka was delighted to hear this. As a mother, she was naturally pleased to hear that her son had achieved something, even if it disrupted the boss's plans. But didn't this also prove that he was very capable?

"Fortunately, it's not too far off from the script. Tell Silver Wolf to stop playing games and go save the day," the black cat said after licking its paws.

"Oh, poor little silver wolf."

Kafka could only mourn for Silver Wolf for two seconds. Originally, Pinocchio didn't have Silver Wolf's role, or rather, very little role. She had already finished her business and started working on the game, but then Eriol called her out to work overtime. One could already imagine her cursing and swearing.

P.S. Although the plot is somewhat different, when writing fanfiction, if I can't save my wife, then it's all for nothing.

P.S., I chatted a lot about erotic comics with some perverts in the group today, so I accidentally updated late (:∠)

Chapter 79 The World After Death?

At this moment, Qiong was barely breathing. Three women surrounded him, each with a different expression. Huang Quan remained silent; she would not cry for Qiong, but clenched her fists, emanating a low-pressure aura. Black Swan looked completely unprepared, but still grabbed Qiong's hand.

"Qiong, Qiong!"

Liu Ying was already crying with tears streaming down her face. She held Qiong's body tightly in her arms. She knew that Qiong was injured while saving her. If she hadn't been so foolish, if she hadn't hidden her abilities, he wouldn't have done this. At this moment, Liu Ying was really regretful. She should have accepted Qiong a long time ago, she should have been with him a long time ago. What was there to hesitate about when a man was willing to risk his life for her?

"If I don't make it, don't worry about me. Even if I die and go to hell, I will climb out for you. Believe me."

Qiong forced herself to say these last words, then looked at Huang Quan with a gentle expression, raised her hand to touch her hair, and then her body slowly turned into bubbles and disappeared.

"Qiong!!!"

Liu Ying's hands gradually lost their support and fell to the ground. She looked at everything in disbelief. Qiong had just disappeared without leaving anything behind. He had died in the dream.

The firefly's eyes gradually lost their luster, her beautiful colored pupils turned pitch black, and a streamlined object appeared in her right hand at some unknown time. This object had two pairs of wings on each side, one large and one small, and the translucent blue wings were shimmering with iridescent light, but at this moment they bloomed with flame-like colors.

"I want everyone here to be buried with Qiong!"

Liu Ying roared through gritted teeth. Huang Quan and Black Swan stared in astonishment at the girl who had been embraced by flames. After the flames dissipated, a tall, silver mecha appeared before them.

"The entire family, Pinocchio, must die!"

A hoarse male voice came from inside the silver mecha. Liu Ying blamed the family for Qiong's death. If it weren't for the family's conspiracy, if the family hadn't released that monster, how could Qiong have become like this? How should she face Kafka now? How should she explain to Kafka? Liu Ying had nothing left to lose, so she decided to cause a scene.

"stop!"

Seeing the flames emanating from the mecha, powerful enough to burn through the dream world, Huang Quan immediately drew her sword and stepped forward to stop it. Although Huang Quan was also angry, she believed that Qiong would not die so easily and that he could still be saved. Before that, she couldn't let Liu Ying destroy Pinocchio.

At this moment, Qiong's consciousness was in a state of chaos. He felt as if someone was singing in his ear. It was the song of the robin. This voice possessed the power of harmony, because the robin was one of the most favored candidates for harmony and was known as the Child of Harmony. Her voice truly possessed magic, and Qiong was thus awakened.

When Qiong opened his eyes, he found himself deep in a dream. The sky was pitch black, with only a faint light illuminating the scene. He looked around and realized that he seemed to be lying on a bench, as if he had been moved there by someone.

"you're awake."

The sound of a robin came, and Qiong realized that he was not dreaming. He got up and looked at his side, where he saw the robin sitting gracefully on the bench, not far from him.

"Little bird, I never expected to meet you here. We're so lucky!"

Qiong's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile. Although he didn't know where he was, encountering a robin was definitely a matter of fate.

"However, when you were saving the unconscious person, you should have put me on your lap. That way, you could have protected my head and prevented it from getting injured again."

Qiong was giving the robin a very serious lecture. Her behavior of sitting beside him without resting her head on her lap deeply hurt him, which made Qiong very sad.

"Like an idiot."

Robin glanced at Qiong and said, "Is a lap pillow something that Qiong can use? Don't forget they've only known each other for a short time. They just went on a date together before. And you already want a lap pillow? You really dare to dream and ask for things like that."

"Where is this?"

Qiong asked the crucial question, and Robin, who had arrived a little earlier, also had his own personal guide.

“The people here call this place Dream Reef,” the robin said.

"Huh? But I remember I got here after being stabbed by a monster. You got stabbed too?"

Qiong scratched his head, looking puzzled. At first, he thought the monster was going to kill him, but now it seemed to be a special way of moving in the dream.

“Yes, after we separated, I started investigating the various books left by my family, hoping to find clues about the Pinocone mutation. I tried to experiment with the methods in the books, but unexpectedly, I summoned the monster you mentioned, and it brought me here.”

Robin explained how she got here, which was quite a strange encounter. As a weak woman with no power to even kill a chicken, she naturally couldn't do anything to resist the memory realm memes.

"...You're so calm."

Qiong was a little unsure how to describe it. Should she say that the robin was bold or carefree? She didn't seem to value life and death that much, which wasn't a good habit. Qiong hoped that his future wife could cherish herself more.

"Because this is the territory of Tong Xie, I have nothing to be afraid of, and the people living here are very friendly."

Robin laughed and said that she was also panicked for a while at first, but she quickly got used to the town. For her, staying here was more comfortable than in her dreams.

“You’re not from the Tongxie family, so you don’t know what’s happening in Pinocone. My singing comes from Tongxie. After returning to Pinocone, I’ve always felt discomfort in my throat. I thought it was just from the change in environment and from traveling too much between stars.”

"But after we separated, I gradually realized something was wrong. My voice had problems, possibly because my family had strayed from harmony."

Robin's expression gradually turned serious. These things couldn't be revealed to outsiders, but she had an innate trust in Qiong, and in the current situation, Qiong was the only one she could confide in.

"No, I asked you to find the mole, and you said everyone except you is a mole? Have you ever thought about changing your stage name to Gin?"

Qiong, suppressing a laugh, said to Robin, "I don't care about Pinocchio's situation, I only care about Robin and my family. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?"

"Go away, stop teasing me."

Robin rolled her eyes at Qiong. What was supposed to be a serious matter sounded strange to her, but it also eased her tension.

Chapter 80 Thank you, Brother Mianmian

"Hehe, don't you think we're destined to meet? You died, and I died, and we met in the afterlife. Death couldn't separate us. Isn't this a wonderful story?"

Qiong reached out to the robin, wanting to hold his hand, but the robin naturally avoided Qiong's touch. This guy always wanted to take advantage of others, and the robin certainly wouldn't tolerate his behavior, only letting him take advantage verbally.

"It's a twisted fate, but it's certainly unexpected to see you in a strange place."

Robin responded. She really didn't expect that Qiong would also come to this strange dream. They hadn't been apart for long and had already met here. Robin began to believe that this was fate, such a one in a million thing.

"Then how should we leave?" Qiong asked.

"Leaving here is not difficult. When the residents encounter danger, they leave the dream and return to their bodies, while their bodies live in other parts of Pinocene."

Robin explained the situation to the Dome: the residents of this dream didn't actually come from the Daydream Hotel, but from other people living in various parts of Pinocchio. Pinocchio is so big, of course it's not just the Daydream Hotel. The hotel also needs a lot of things, so the supply of consumables naturally falls to these ordinary people.

The common people of Pinocchio are not qualified to enter the dream, but they have their own way of entering the dream. Their final destination after entering the dream is this Dream Reef. Simply put, this place is like a rudimentary version of the dream, allowing people to experience the pleasure of dreaming without spending money, but it has little to do with the word "beauty".
