Chapter 247 The melancholy handsome guy
Pinoconi, dream world, central dreamland.
In the conference hall deep in the castle, pictures of the twelve dream areas of Pinoconi are hung on the walls. There is a glass sealed container on the long table. One corner of the glass has been broken. The last ball cage was used 24 hours ago. Sent it here.
People in various costumes sit at the table. Most of them look like young people in their twenties, but they all have kind eyes and a sense of elders' majesty. Their clothes are also different, with various expressions. The decorations all have a touch of white, and the family logo hangs in a prominent position.
"It's really nostalgic. The last time we gathered here for a meeting was the last time."
"What a pity, Mr. Nightingale, you look like a good boy in the tavern, born to be a masked fool rather than the leader of the family."
"Don't be like this Iris, I don't want to ruin my image in front of Miss Mockingbird. We are family, weareafamily."
The dialogue between the leaders of the family sounded quarrelsome, but it also had the flavor of a comedian, as if they were expressing their emotions through jokes.
After Pinoconi fell into the arms of the family, the dream world was divided into twelve areas. Each area has its own manager. Although the family seems to outsiders to be a whole, the fact is that there are countless divisions in the whole. of small bodies.
Most of the people who can sit on this table are one of the leaders of the family. They manage their own dreams and never interfere in each other's management, but they seem to be one body. That is under the loving radiance of the Star God Xipe. What can only be achieved under the light of others is called the seed of a harmonious family.
"The glass made of special materials was broken, the container was damaged, and the star core was completely taken away. Fortunately, the weird plaster head sculpture of the Erudite Society was not harmed. Everything in Pinoconi's dream world is currently normal." Then So said Florence Nightingale, the administrator of Pinocchio's Seventh Dream's rebirth.
"At least Pinoconi's dream world is normal so far." said Eros, the manager of the fifth dream's beloved moment.
"No, no one knows what will happen to Pinoconi after the star core is taken away, just like you never know when an apple will fall from the sky and hit you on the head. "Nightingale said, "Dreams may change at any time, just like a time bomb that goes haywire."
"No, at least the time bomb will still make a beeping sound, but the star core will not. It will only explode without warning."
Ellis took out an old-fashioned pipe from his breast pocket and tapped it lightly on the edge of the container. The purple cloud smoke slowly puffed out, covering the glass container inch by inch.
The family leaders seemed to be chatting calmly, but they couldn't help but look at the slowly puffing purple cloud.
That is the ability to look back in dreams. In that purple cloud, time will be manipulated like clockwork running backwards. That is the power of Iris, the manager of meteor time.
It is no exaggeration to say that the cloud could even wrap a piece of fur and reflect the time when the owner of the fur was still in the womb.
Dust could be seen flying disorderly in the clouds and smoke. The managers were all staring at the purple mist. After two minutes of silence, the ever-expanding clouds and mist slowly retracted like a retreating tide.
Ellis raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly: "It was in that scholar's laboratory that someone punched the container into pieces and took away the star core. The time was 28 hours ago. Oh my god, I can even Smell the lollipop on that intruder.”
"There is no need to repeat this kind of known information." Eros frowned, "What we want to know is who the person who took away the star core is, not whether he smells like a lollipop."
"I'm sorry, but the current situation is really bad for Pinoconi. The star core has been stolen, the Harmony Ceremony is just around the corner, and countless guests from all over the world are enjoying life in dreams..." Ellis shrugged and put the pipe in his mouth.
"But in the dream regression, I couldn't see the face of the criminal who took away the star core. Maybe some kind of ability blocked the ability to recall. In short, there is nothing I can do, but at least we know that the criminal likes to eat strawberry-flavored sticks. lollipop."
If anyone else had said such heartless words, they would have been criticized by everyone. But the person who said this was Iris, the elder who led Pinoconi in the last Amber Chronicle. The ability to reverse dreams is also very rare.
(Tomato’s updated AI illustration function seems to still need to be learned.)
The Ellis family was already an indispensable backbone among the six major families during Hanunu's rule and management.
They abide by the oldest system. Members of the family privately call these people old-fashioned old Pao'er, which means adherents of the old times.
It is said that the criminal system in the Ellis family is no different from that in ancient times. They use whips wrapped in thorns and dipped in salt water to whip the sinners' backs wildly.
Until the dying sinner sincerely repented, those tribesmen holding whips would sing the good songs of the Star God in their mouths to express their forgiveness for their mistakes.
But since the patriarch of this generation came to power, it is said that this kind of criminal method has been almost abandoned. Instead of whipping with salt water on a whip wrapped in thorns, this patriarch prefers to use the method of Interstellar Peace Company Lotto to make people suffer. Criminals extract punishment.
It is said that every family member who has ever made a mistake has kept silent about the punishment he received after leaving the Ellis family, as if it was some kind of taboo, and it has reached the point where he changes his color after hearing it.
"So we can only sit back and wait for death. We don't even know where the stolen star core is?" Nightingale said.
"Perhaps it is a member of the family, or it may be the group of masked fools in the tavern, or it may be the star core hunters under the madman Elio. Unless there is a change in Pinoconi's dream, we will not detect it at all. There will be no fluctuations in the star core, unless..."
"unless?"
"Unless the Mother Goddess can send down a revelation, all we can do is wait and see what happens, and at the same time send more tuners and tuners to the twelve dreams. When the star core erupts, we can be more proactive in suppressing it." Ellis Said lightly.
The family leaders were silent for a while and couldn't help but turn their eyes to the end of the conference table.
That was the seat of Sunday, the host of the meeting and the leader and judge of Pinocchio.
At this moment, he was sitting on the chair holding a book and reading it, as if he were attending a tea party.
"Has everyone finished the discussion?" Sunday felt the silence in the conference hall, closed the book and looked around.
"Well, Mr. Ellis's ability to trace back is of no help." Nightingale said, "The star core is currently missing, and the information provided by the scholar of the Erudite Society is also very vague. We cannot infer the identity of the person who took away the star core. who is it."
"That should be the power of the star core, or perhaps the power of a certain envoy. Since Mr. Ellis's backtracking can't detect the information, we have to find another shortcut and start with the scene and the scholar." Sunday Say it softly.
"The family also needs to conduct a thorough investigation, and ask the clan members below to see if any clan members have disappeared recently. At the same time, the Daydream Hotel needs to strengthen its defense and let the tuners and tuners in the dream pay attention to the star core fluctuations."
"In short, the Harmony Ceremony is coming soon, so we must not be sloppy." Sunday said, "Additional tuners and performers will be sent to the dream world. No matter where the star core breaks out, we must quickly suppress it."
"You may all know the importance of this Harmony Ceremony. We must make every effort to ensure that there is no leakage."
"Also, Mockingbird, three uninvited guests broke into Pinoconi?" Sunday turned to look at the woman at the table.
"Perhaps my perception was wrong. The auras of the three uninvited guests disappeared, or maybe they never came." Robin said softly, "Are you very concerned about the three intruders?"
Sunday shook his head and tapped his fingers on the table: "Happiness, preservation, memory, hunting, knowledge, nothingness, destruction... and immortality... The arrival of these three uninvited guests is really concerning. ..."
Every time he spoke a word, the atmosphere in the conference hall became heavier and heavier, as if those light words were weighing down like mountains, making everyone breathless.
"Maybe it's just a problem with the dream device. Don't worry about it. I've asked Theresa to go to the Daydream Hotel to investigate. I believe the answer will be known soon." Robin explained.
"I hope so, I hope there will be no unpleasant noise to break this beautiful chord." Sunday suddenly stood up and walked out.
The robin was silent and did not speak, with a faint light shining in its light blue eyes.
The conference hall was also unusually quiet. No one spoke, even the breathing was very light. Everyone fell into that weird atmosphere.
"The Harmony Ceremony... The last Harmony Ceremony, I and old Joss watched the butt rise and fall in the blue waves together." Iris' voice was low, and he blew out a puff of smoke, breaking the silence in the conference hall.
Robin shook her head, raised her skirt slightly, stood up and walked out. She held her mobile phone in her hand, the screen was slightly lit. For a few seconds, she exchanged text messages with someone. The other person's note name was - melancholy handsome guy. .
