"Do you think the family knew about this place?"

After understanding the situation, Qiong asked in confusion, "If we follow the family's explanation, these people should all be illegal immigrants. After all, the Dream Realm is managed by the family, and although this place is simple, it is still a Dream Realm."

"I can't be sure about that, but this place is different from other dreams. It's a very special place. I've only been here for a short time, so I don't know much yet."

The robin shook its head and said.

"I need to let my girlfriends know I'm safe. What about you?"

Qiong Huanjiu, K Qi Liu Jiu Yi Liu remembers that he died in front of Liu Ying, and doesn't know what the girl will become, so he wants to go back before he dies.

"I can't leave yet. There are still many things I don't understand, so I need to stay a little longer."

"I see. But it would be a serious matter if you disappeared in the dream, since the Harmony Ceremony is about to begin."

"Yes, that's right. So I wanted to ask you, Qiong, to continue investigating Pinocone for me outside."

Robin looked at Sora with a serious expression and said that she had reasons for not being able to go back, but she was also very concerned about what was happening at Meimeng's place. At this moment, only Sora could help her. If he hadn't come here, Robin would have been left to wait and see.

"So, you only have me to rely on now?"

Qiong raised her hand to touch her chin, her gaze towards the robin gradually becoming more audacious, and a smile curved her lips.

"Yes, that's right."

The robin suddenly sensed a threat. Her two wings behind her ears folded up in tension. She knew that Qiong wouldn't hurt her, but he would take advantage of her in other ways, as he always did.

"Little bird, you know the word 'monopoly,' right? That's what this situation is about. So, how should you ask me for help?"

Qiong's mouth was practically splitting open to his ears. He really wanted to thank Memory Domain Memento for sending him here, and he would never hold a grudge against it next time he saw it.

"Can't you...can't you have a little bit of gentlemanly manners and finish the job first before making demands?"

The robin could tell from Qiong's expression that he was going to blackmail her, and her expression turned to a mixture of laughter and tears. She had been the apple of her family's eye for a long time, and no man would dare to make any demands on her. But this trick was completely useless against Qiong.

"Don't be silly, being a gentleman is just a self-deception. A gentleman is someone who can get what he wants, and someone who can't get it can only be impotent and furious."

Qiong shrugged and said that he would use any means to get closer to Zhizhi. If he didn't do that, the two of them would just be friends at best, and there would be no point in looking for a wife.

"What kind of twisted logic is that? What do you want then?"

"Of course, it's holding hands with the little bird."

"We held hands before, so that counts as paying the bill, right?"

The robin raised its eyebrows as it spoke, its little expression looking fierce, but Qiong thought it was so cute that she clutched her heart, almost dying from the cuteness of the fierce little bird.

"No, that doesn't count. You're wearing gloves, so you've clearly paid with counterfeit money. Take off your gloves and hold my hand."

"How did I come to know someone like you..."

Robin sighed and resigned herself to her fate. Although Qiong had used threats, Robin was not angry because she had been threatened in a similar way when Qiong invited her out before, and she was already used to it.

After a moment's thought, the robin took off its right glove and, incidentally, removed the pearl bracelet from its wrist, handing it to Qiong.

“These are my accessories. If you encounter any trouble, you can show them to your brother. I also want to ask you to protect my brother in this vortex.”

The robin made her second request. She knew something terrible was going to happen to Pinocchio, and of course she was worried about her brother. She had no way to protect Sunday, so she could only place her hopes on Qiong.

"Don't worry, that's my brother-in-law. Even if I get hurt, I can't bear to see him get hurt."

After receiving the ornament, Qiong stored it in the Dream Handbook. Then, she took the robin's right hand and said with a happy expression, her smile harder to suppress than the recoil of a star destroyer's cannon.

"You're such a wicked person."

Hearing Qiong's explicit address, Robin's pretty face flushed slightly. At this moment, she and Qiong held hands, and they really looked like lovers. You know, she and her brother rarely held hands after she became an adult, and Qiong kept calling her "brother-in-law" Sunday. Robin was so embarrassed that she hid her wings.

"Little bird, you are so beautiful. You are the most beautiful girl in the entire galaxy."

Holding the robin's little hand, Qiong felt as if she had grasped a wonderful future. The palm was smooth and soft, as if it had no bones. It had a warmth that belonged only to the robin, a temperature different from that of other girls, making Qiong completely reluctant to let go.

"I don't believe you. You must say that to every girl."

The robin said unhappily, thinking that even if she were to fall for Qiong by some chance, he still had many girlfriends, and of course she would feel a little jealous.

"You need to have confidence in yourself. What if you are the most beautiful in my heart?"

Qiong coaxed the robin, gently shaking her little hand up and down.

"What if? You bastard, I'm going to slap you."

Upon hearing this, the robin's wings stiffened with anger. He raised his wings, ready to slap the sky. The sky, of course, kept a suitable distance and, while doing so, grabbed the robin's hand and ran around the street laughing and joking. Although the little bird complained, he felt helpless and could only let him be.

Chapter 81 Bird Lovers

After running a distance with the robin by the hand, Qiong noticed a change in the scene before them. A huge black hole appeared in the sky, where no buildings could block the view.

"What is that?" Qiong asked curiously.

"The locals say this thing appeared a long time ago. It started as a crack, but now it's so huge that it seems to be sucking this dream away."

The robin didn't know much either; many of the secrets of this dream were beyond her reach as an outsider, and further investigation was needed to uncover them.

"Looks like things aren't going well here either."

Qiong felt this was not a good thing, but there was only so much he could do, so he could only let it be.

“I think this is a dream worth protecting. Those who can’t go into their dreams can experience the life of ordinary people here.”

The robin said softly that she had been going in and out of dreams since she was a child, and all she saw were distinguished guests who enjoyed themselves in dreams. They lived a life of wealth and were indulging in golden moments, gradually depriving ordinary people of the opportunity to enter dreams.

“I see many people here who may be blind or disabled in reality, but in this dream, they can all act as normal people. Perhaps this is the original intention of the watchmaker in creating dreams.”

"The reason for the existence of dreams... might be this."

Qiong never expected that the dream world had such a magical function. Then she remembered that Liu Ying seemed to have said something similar. Imagine, a blind person comes into a dream and can see all the colors and his own image. What a rare experience that would be.

Especially for the people of the Immortal Boat who are born with disabilities that can never be repaired, they might not want to leave once they enter this dream world. But that won't do either, because a dream is a dream after all, and they will eventually have to wake up and face reality.

"The watchmaker creates dreams, but it's not meant to keep people immersed in them forever. I've seen many people who don't want to wake up, but then Pinocchio becomes a prison."

Qiong sighed. Liu Ying had already proven with her actions that she was one of the people who did not want to wake up. But Qiong had already boarded this pioneering ship, so how could he stop in one place and not move forward? He could not care about what others did, but he should at least be responsible for Liu Ying.

"You...you unreliable person, it's unbelievable that you would have such awareness."

Robin looked at Qiong in surprise and said that Qiong's thoughts were exactly the same as hers. Robin had always firmly believed that dreams should not be a place to escape reality, and that all living beings must eventually wake up.

"Hey, why do you see me like that? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Qiong scratched his head and asked in surprise, feeling that it was really hurtful for a man as righteous and intelligent as himself to hear such a thing from a robin.

"I don't see it."

Robin looked at her hand and Qiong's hand and said that she wanted to loosen her grip a little, but Qiong said no way and held her hand even tighter.

"If you don't have any leads after you leave here, you can go to the company."

The robin gave up resisting and could only let Qiong hold her hand and speak.

"Someone from the company?"

"Yes, the reason I noticed the anomaly at Pinocone was because I received a secret letter from the company."

Robin explained, noticing the puzzled look on Qiong's face, and then began to explain the hostile relationship between the company and the family.

"As for why they came here, it's related to Pinocchio's history. The border prison was originally where the company imprisoned its prisoners. Later, the people here won the War of Liberation, but the company did not give up its jurisdiction. In the following Amber Period, Pinocchio changed hands several times and eventually fell into the hands of the family. So this time, the company came here to take back Pinocchio."

"Goodness, they can't sit still because they see how much money they can make here. Before, they didn't care if they lost a poor place. That fits my stereotype of companies."

Qiong laughed heartily. This behavior was actually similar to Toppa's debt collection, both aimed at recovering assets. However, judging from the family's attitude, it seemed that they did not take the company seriously.

"However, I am also a lackey of the storage company. You should be careful that I don't team up with the company. You'd better keep a close eye on me."

Qiong continued, pressing the robin's hand against her face, looking at her with a smile, feeling the warmth of her hand.

"You...aren't you a pioneer? Why are you talking about protecting faith now?"

Robin originally wanted to complain that Qiong was taking advantage of her again, but his words also aroused her curiosity. She really couldn't see where Qiong was hiding anything.

"Check out BOSS Zhipin."

Qiong took out her lance and stood it in front of the robin. The robin touched it curiously and could indeed feel the protective power on it. Then Qiong told her in great detail how she had been chosen by Kripper.

The robin looked at Qiong with incomprehension. How could someone like him receive a glance from the Star God? That was something countless beings in the universe envied. The Star God certainly wouldn't do something pointless. There must be a deeper meaning behind his attention to Qiong.

"Little bird, I'm leaving now. I hope to hold your hand again in the world outside of dreams."

Qiong held the robin's hands in her own and said, "I love you." The robin nodded subconsciously, but quickly shook her head. Everything in the dream felt real. She had actually held hands with Qiong before, but whether they could hold hands in reality was something she had to think about.

The next moment, Qiong woke up in the dream pool in the hotel room. After a moment of blankness, he looked at his side and saw that Huang Quan was still sleeping soundly next to him. He wondered what had happened in the dream. Qiong then chose to enter the dream again.

Meanwhile, in a guest room at the Dream Hotel, Sand Gold sat silently on the sofa, his hands crossed and resting on his chin, looking thoughtful.

You mean he's dead?

Sand Gold looked up at the black swan in front of him and said that he felt his luck had suddenly turned extremely bad. He hadn't accomplished anything he wanted to do, and he hadn't even seen Qiong's face.

"You can't find his location in the entire dream world. Whether he's dead or not, you can't achieve your goal."

Black Swan shrugged and said that she was Sand Gold's partner and had originally agreed to bring Qiong to him, but due to that unexpected incident, Black Swan was also helpless.

"That's really impressive. It's amazing that it can break my plans time and time again. Is it just good luck, or did it see through my plans?"

Sand Gold took out a round gold coin chip and started playing with it. He wanted to use Qiong to do something, but Qiong ignored him or avoided him.

Chapter 82 Another Bad Woman

Previously, Sand Gold ambushed Qiong in her room, but instead went to Huang Quan's room. Sand Gold then paid a price at the Dream Hotel to have Black Swan bring Qiong over for a private chat, but Qiong died right before his eyes. Sand Gold felt that this Star Core Spirit might be suppressing his attributes, which really hit his confidence.

"Wait, Qiong is back. I can sense that he has entered this dream world."

Black Swan suddenly clapped her hands and then disappeared from Sand Gold's sight. Sand Gold's face showed an expectant expression. She wondered what Qiong had experienced during that death; it must have been something interesting.

Qiong was in the lobby of the Dream Hotel. As soon as he arrived, he saw a large area of ​​scorched flames. Looking ahead, he saw two figures fighting, and he heard a loud melody playing.

【↓↓↓→↓↑→↓ ↓↓】

Huang Quan stood on a sculpture in the hotel lobby, holding an unsheathed katana towards the silver mecha below. Although the two were of unequal size, Huang Quan had a feeling of completely suppressing him.

"Hunter, do you still dream? Dream about those who died because of you?"

Huang Quan's gaze wasn't fixed on the silver mecha, but rather looked elsewhere, as if something was amiss there. However, Sam showed no intention of communicating with her.

"I will set the sea on fire!"

Sam's power reactor was pushed to its limit, shooting into the sky and bringing with it a rain of fire that crashed down on Huang Quan. Huang Quan drew his katana from its sheath and unleashed a series of slashes, one of which struck Sam, instantly creating a massive shockwave and plumes of black smoke.

"Stop, don't fight anymore!"

Qiong arrived at the center of the battlefield and shouted. Huang Quan and Sam stopped what they were doing when they heard his voice.

"Qiong, you're back."

Huang Quan took a step and came to Qiong's side, reaching out to hug him. This was one of the few times she had taken the initiative to hug him. She had believed before that Qiong would not abandon her and die, and now it seemed that her belief had come true. She was filled with emotion.

Qiong was held in Huang Quan's arms, and a happy smile appeared on his lips. He also hugged Huang Quan's warm body, and at this moment, they only had each other in their eyes.

Inside the Sam mech, Firefly finally realized what was happening. She wanted to go up and hug Qiong, to tell him how worried she was, but when she thought about her current appearance, she fell silent. She didn't know how to explain her identity to Qiong.

"Is he Sam? Why are you fighting him? Where's Firefly?"

Qiong recognized the silver mecha in front of him at a glance. It had sent a challenge letter earlier, but he was a little worried because he didn't see Liu Ying and Black Swan here.

"Liu Ying, she..."

Huang Quan glanced at Sam, unsure how to respond. Huang Quan was actually a kind woman; she wouldn't casually expose the secrets others wanted to protect. Moreover, judging from Liu Ying's behavior, she didn't seem like a bad person.

"Could it be that Firefly was harmed by Sam? That's impossible. My mother and aunt are both Star Core Hunters. There's no reason for Sam to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Qiong looked at Sam with a puzzled expression and said, "If Sam were really a terrorist, Kafka and Silver Wolf would definitely not have allowed him to come for a meeting. This doesn't make sense."

Seeing Qiong's worried gaze, Liu Ying was ready to risk everything. She wanted to tell Qiong her true identity immediately. However, just as she was about to remove her mecha suit, Black Swan suddenly appeared beside Qiong.

“Darling, come with me.”

Black Swan drew a tarot card, and before Qiong could react, the card was stuck to his body. Then, space distorted, and when he came to his senses, he was already in a hotel room.

"what are you up to?"

Qiong asked the Black Swan in confusion. He knew that the Black Swan's abilities in the dream world were amazing. This was the Memory Maker's home ground, so it was not surprising that the Black Swan would do anything. He had never thought that the Black Swan would hurt him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yi Zhe."

Sand Gold's voice came from behind Qiong. He turned around and looked at the well-dressed man in surprise. Qiong had been looking for Sand Gold after hearing what Robin had said, and this guy had actually delivered himself to his door.

"As agreed, I have brought this child to you. The transaction is complete."
