Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

"You'd be better off believing I'm the reincarnation of Archivist than believing her."

Qiong laughed and said carefree things. Black Swan's tarot cards were just for fun, because she wasn't a person of intellect destiny, but a person of memory destiny. Fortune telling was just a hobby.

"Hmm, that seems to make sense."

On March 7th, realizing she had nothing to refute, she said dejectedly, then glanced at the lively academy celebration around her. She knew that these relaxing experiences might be about to end with the unexpected unfolding of events.

"Let me ask where Potio is."

Danheng took out his phone and asked Potio in his friend list. He had a good relationship with his male friends and would add most of them as friends. He would resolutely not add someone like Qiong, who was not a beautiful girl, unless it was an unavoidable situation, such as Sand Gold's friend.

"I found out, he's at Liumeng Reef."

Danheng was now very glad that he had received a reply. His phone, which had always been unable to send a signal, had not disappointed him this time. Potio quickly replied, telling him his location, which made the meeting much simpler.

"Then we should find a place to summon Mianmian, Clock Boy."

Qiong winked at the clock boy beside her. He was a long-time employee of Dream Reef and was also very familiar with another employee. It was great to have so many people around who could be of use, and there were no delays in doing what she wanted to do.

"Leave it to me. Mianmian and I are good friends, as is Miss Robin."

"I'm so glad I'm here," said the clock boy, patting his round watch face. He also brought along a robin, which meant he had become good friends with these magical dream characters.

"Little bird?"

“I often go to Liumeng Reef to teach children to sing, and I’m quite familiar with Mianmian.”

The robin smiled and explained to Qiong. Qiong remembered that when she went to Liumeng Reef last time, she also saw the robin playing with the children. She gently took the robin's hand.

"You still hope to help them with music, don't you?"

Qiong spoke the robin's thoughts, and the little bird's gaze softened as it looked at him. The two of them unconsciously developed a tacit understanding; he knew what he wanted to do, and she knew he understood her more and more.

Qiong and her group borrowed an empty storage room on campus. As soon as they entered, the clock boy rang the alarm, and the surrounding lights quickly dimmed, making the atmosphere somewhat eerie. When the mist appeared in the room, the hideous monster slumbered out of the mist. The only person here who hadn't seen it before was Estella, who was also intimidated by its appearance at first sight.

Qiong held Estella in his arms, giving her a hint that he would protect her. Although she didn't say much, she was quite pleased with Qiong's gentlemanly gesture, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"You might feel a little disoriented when you first meet Mianmian, but you'll get used to it quickly."

"Sora spoke in Estella's ear," she said silently. Although the stationmaster didn't do anything adventurous, she wasn't afraid to participate in such emergencies occasionally, since she had reliable partners by her side, especially Sora, who had risked his life to save her once. Although Estella didn't mention it much, it was her most profound memory.

"This is Mianmian Ninja Disciple? Although you look terrifying, I can sense that you have a heart of justice. Impressive."

Luanpo was probably a well-informed sea patroller. After seeing the appearance of Chenmian, Yiliu Qiba Qisi [Wu Liuqun] did not feel any fear. Instead, he reached out and touched it. Chenmian was also a good-tempered monster. It was not aggressive when facing strangers and obediently led the people in front of it into the passage to Liumeng Reef.

"By the way, where is Miss Tingyun?"

While traversing the dream, March 7th subconsciously asked a question. Although it was unnecessary to bring Tingyun along in this situation, March 7th still wondered if she would be in trouble if she found Origami University because she couldn't find the train crew.

Chapter 401 Who exactly is in love?

"It seems like she unconsciously approaches the underworld, and then gets lost somewhere."

After thinking for a moment, Qiong answered March 7's question. Since arriving in Pinocchio, he had been focused on the robin. Tingyun was here to relax, so there was no need to drag her along. She could do whatever she wanted.

"Hopefully, Miss Huang Quan won't be needed this time."

March 7 muttered to herself, "I have to say the name Huang Quan gives me a greater sense of security. Thinking back to when she was in Pinocchio, I should be worried about the walls of the dream world. I wonder if the dream builders have repaired the scars they cut last time."

"This is Liumeng Reef? It's a place that's not mentioned in any tourist guidebook."

After landing, Estella regained her usual energy. She looked around at the somewhat old and dark-toned buildings with curiosity, comparing them with the latest travel brochure in her hand. She found that the book was full of beautiful, golden dreams, which were completely different from the dream world in front of her.

"This is a hidden map. Bringing you here is a real bargain for you. Remember to give me a thank you gift!"

Seeing that Estella didn't seem scared, Qiong approached her and said with a smile, while the stationmaster immediately rolled her eyes at him.

"I know, you're just greedy and greedy."

As Estella spoke, she kissed Sora on the cheek, not bothering to hide the sound of the kiss, which made a crisp sound. Anyway, everyone around was one of their own, except for Miss Ranpo.

"Speaking of Liumeng Reef, we should go find Mr. Michael, right? I didn't expect this return visit to this old haunt would come so soon."

On March 7th, he habitually looked at the tallest building on Liumeng Reef, a garden platform where the old ancestor Mikhail lay in peace. The manager here was Mikey, and the last time they parted was after paying respects at the graves of the pioneers in the cemetery.

"Damn it! I've really opened my eyes. The atmosphere here is strange, there's even a statue of a monkey."

As the group approached the place where Mika usually passed by, they heard Luanpo speaking sweet words. The voice and tone were unmistakably those of Potio.

Mikael was talking to Portio, but he first saw the train conductor walking towards him, a genuine smile appearing on his weathered face.

"Everyone, what brings you here?"

Micah greeted him with a smile, leaving Potio standing aside. Clearly, in his heart, the one who had saved Pinocchio and fulfilled Mikhail's last wish was far more important than this sea ranger.

"Uncle Mikey, hello there."

On March 7th, he greeted Mikey with great enthusiasm. Mikey also welcomed the train crew. After his friend's death, he had no more attachments here, except for these pioneering younger generations left behind by his old friend, whom he always kept in his heart.

"Hello, Himeko and Welt aren't here?"

“They’re attending an academic seminar, you know young people don’t like that.”

On March 7th, they started talking to Mikey on the spot. Because the signal was very poor in Liumeng Reef, the train crew did not notify Mikey before they arrived. They originally planned to visit the old man's grave after finishing all their work, but unexpected events caused them to come first.

"Damn it, you guys got here really fast."

Portio wasn't angry about being interrupted. When he saw the train crew, he grinned, revealing a bunch of shark teeth, and said, "Although the Sea Rangers are not sociable, they still welcome people on the same ship. The current train crew is undoubtedly the best reinforcement."

"Your habits have changed? Didn't you used to call me 'baby'?"

Danheng noticed the subtle changes in Potio and asked about it. This wasn't because he was meddling, but because he felt that this change in habit might bring some clues, such as altered cognition.

"It's banana! It's banana! It's banana! I don't know what happened, but after coming to this place, I turned into a banana. I feel like I'm turning into a monkey."

When Potio talked about his verbal tic, he started swearing and became extremely irritable, which was why his temper was getting worse and worse, although it wasn't much better before.

"Mr. Potio, please wait a moment, let me adjust the tuning for you."

Seeing Potio's condition, the robin knew what to do. She reached out to Potio, and harmonious notes floated out and landed on him, as if tearing off a thin film from his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.

"Huh? Wow, this big star is really something! He's made me recover! Hahaha!"

Potio looked surprised, then tried several verbal tic-tacs, but the banana didn't appear even once. Overjoyed, he immediately took out a pistol, slung it over his finger, and started spinning it.

"What did you do?" Qiong asked curiously.

“There were some discordant notes in Mr. Potio as well. I used the power of harmony to tune him and temporarily eliminated those discordant notes.”

The robin explained that this wasn't her first time encountering something like this; in other words, she had noticed something before Qiong and the others arrived, but hadn't yet found a way to resolve it.

"Noise? Do you know what this banana baby thing is all about?"

Portio put away his gun and pressed on, his meaning clear: he was determined to find the guy who gave him the banana-like habit and love him to death, so much so that he had gotten used to it and couldn't change it anytime soon.

“I often come here to teach children to sing, but things have changed a bit lately.”

"Hmph, another monkey?"

Potio clearly knew quite a lot. The robin had only mentioned the beginning, and he already knew who had caused this change. After all, it was an open-book exam, and who else but a monkey would like bananas?

“Yes, it started after the Sleeping Banana Monkey appeared here,” the robin said.

"Mr. Michael, the Sleeping Banana Monkey has also spread here?"

On March 7th, she also asked Mikey a question. She thought that a place of exile like Dream Reef wouldn't attract capital, but she didn't expect that monkey merchandise would be promoted here. They really don't miss any opportunity to make money.

“That’s right. I don’t understand how young people’s tastes have changed like this, but some people wanted to put up a monkey sculpture in the square before, but Mr. Potio stopped them. We were discussing the monkey thing before you came.”

Mikael scratched his short blond hair, looking troubled. He felt the generation gap between himself and the younger generation was widening. He didn't think the monkey was that good-looking at all, but many people were chasing after it. He initially thought it was just a generation gap, but looking at the robin's serious expression and Potio's investigation, everyone could see that these monkeys weren't just involved in business competition, but rather some strange, brainwashing-like force.

"The nearby memory changed after it began to prevail. For some reason, although the noise had no substantial effect, I felt extremely tired whenever I used the power of harmony to tune it."

Robin explained using her own experience. Qiong held her hand and looked at her with some concern. Little Bird knew that it was because she had told him about being tired that he was worried, so she smiled slightly at him to show that she was fine and there was no need to worry too much.

"There's a club here called the Sleeping Banana Society, and they're the ones who keep promoting those monkeys."

Botioye shared his intelligence: given the current situation at Liumeng Reef, the propaganda department is definitely up to something.

“I tried to get in touch, but their entry requirements are too high. Besides, even if I could get in, my identity would be too… conspicuous. So I’ve focused my energy on dealing with the noise.”

Robin explained that Qiong then realized that she had already worked hard behind the scenes, but because of her status as a big star, she couldn't possibly spend all her time like others doing bananas for the monkey; that would be too strange.

"I have an even better way: borrow a membership card from those cuties who were grabbing territory before."

Portio grinned and began to solve the problem using the methods of a sea patrol ranger. Qiong felt that this idea was perfect for her, and immediately prepared to go and cause trouble with Portio.

"Silver Spear Shura, I have been looking forward to meeting you."

Ranpo found an opportunity to speak and started talking to Potio. In fact, Potio had noticed her long ago; such an unconventional outfit was quite rare.

"What brings you here, my little darling? Weren't you supposed to be at school investigating those monkeys?"

Potio asked, clearly seeing that the two of them were indeed in cahoots. Luanpo hadn't lied about the Sea Patrol Ranger, which meant that the enemy they were looking for was of a higher rank.

“I believe that working with the Pioneer Ninjas would be more fruitful, as they are professionals at dealing with evil ninjas,” Ranpo explained.

"There's some truth to what you're saying."

"Can you tell me now? What exactly is that Evil Ninja?"

Dan Heng asked, not because he had traveled all this way to find Potio to hear about the monkey baby, but because he wanted to know what was happening in Pinocchio and who their enemy was.

"I didn't tell you before because I didn't want you to be scared, but now I have to tell you. The leader of these monkeys is an Intellectual Envoy, Genius Club 64, Primitive Doctor."

Potio made a startling revelation, telling Qiong and the others about the so-called evil ninja. Now no one called him the one who randomly broke the riddle; this identity was indeed quite formidable and had to be avoided being mentioned.

"Oh right, I should have thought of that earlier. You thwarted Dr. Primal's experiments and were later punished by him, which is why you faded out of the Galactic Horizon."

Dan Heng's expression showed slight surprise, but considering the story he had heard, it didn't seem strange. The Sea Patrol Rangers were once a very powerful organization. They had even assassinated the Great Lord of Annihilation. They were truly envoy-level combatants. However, unlike the brute force of destruction, the envoys of wisdom were much more difficult to deal with. The Sea Patrol Rangers hadn't even caused the Primal Doctor to suffer a major loss. They had used all their skills to disrupt his experiments.

“That’s true. It’s a painful memory for him, but none of us regret it. That banana-loving thing deserves to die,” Potio said with dissatisfaction.

"You don't want to tell me that we're on our way to duel with a Wisdom Envoy?"

March 7th was completely distraught. She pulled Estella's arm and slowly backed away, indicating that this was no longer something a beautiful girl should participate in, and that the two of them should return to the space station.

"Of course not. The original doctor isn't that bored, and he wouldn't even look down on Pinocone. It was his men who came. You can probably guess what that monkey's goal is to turn everyone in Pinocone into monkeys. His precious Pinocone is also a place where I fought. How could I let a monkey ruin it?"

Potio's explanation was a relief. In fact, even if the original doctor came in person, it wouldn't be a big deal. As long as the casualties of ordinary people were not taken into account, Huang Quan alone could send him away. The combat power of such a knowledge envoy was definitely no match for the Void envoy.

"I've heard about some of the evil deeds of the original doctor. Even his subordinates would be difficult to deal with."

Robin frowned and said, "This is really bad news. I didn't expect the enemy to be related to the Envoy. Even if they are just the Envoy's subordinates, it's troublesome enough."

The Primal Doctor's evil deeds are truly countless. In a sense, to be able to sit at the same table as the Annihilation Lord, he has ravaged at least ten advanced civilizations. Each time he left, he left behind only a devastated planet and regressed monkeys. Even the Annihilation Lord would shake his head at the sight of him and lose interest in destroying such worlds.

That's why Potio hates monkeys; no one can laugh at the sight of all intelligent beings turning into monkeys.

"On the first day of missing my brother-in-law, if he were here, he would have loved all those monkeys to death."

Qiong was also sighing. His brother-in-law didn't have to suffer this humiliation at all, and the monkeys even took advantage of his weakness. He should have given the monkeys the Primordial Creation he had eaten.

“A-Qiong”.

The robin patted Qiong reproachfully, telling him not to joke about his brother, because even if his brother were here, he wouldn't love a monkey to death.

"Okay, okay, no, I'm just kidding."

Qiong soothed the robin's emotions in a gentle and persuasive manner. Now that things had developed to this point, it was time for Qiong to use her ultimate weapon: calling for reinforcements.

He opened the rift space, took out a black tower doll from it and placed it on the ground. Everyone around looked at the doll with curiosity, while Qiong began the awakening ritual.

"Black Tower, come out and save us! If you're any later, your super worker and your beloved husband will turn into a monkey."

Qiong pressed her face against the Black Tower doll's face and said, continuing to rub against it until the doll raised its hand.

"What's all the noise about? What time is it?"

The voice of the black tower came from the doll's mouth. She knew that Qiong always had trouble to deal with when he came to her, but she just couldn't bring herself to ignore him. After all, she had already promised to love him for a lifetime.

"I don't know, but Pinocchio is always at night," Qiong said honestly.

"What happened?"

The Black Tower Doll's gaze swept over the people around her. She recognized the train crew, of course, but there were two strange guys who were relatively unfamiliar. A genius like her, of course, didn't need to recognize each of the patrolling rangers.

Chapter 403 Super Thigh

"The original doctor's men have come to Pinocchio to cause trouble, trying to turn this place into a monkey paradise," Qiong explained to the Black Tower.

"Oh, it's him. Tell me when he comes in person. This genius is too lazy to deal with his incompetent monkeys."
