"There's something wrong with the background music."
Himeko smiled slightly and nodded in agreement:
"That's right, there are some discordant notes in this background music. I transcribed these noises and found that they perfectly match the gravitational wave frequencies during the train's jump."
Using the spatial curvature of the train engine as the key, I derived the following statement:
"To take in the impossible from the depths of one's dreams, to discover the legacy of the watchmaker who was the father of Pinocchio, and then to answer: Why does life slumber?"
Jiang Lin nodded without saying anything more, while Ji Zi spoke again.
"This precisely illustrates that this trip to Pinocchio was by no means smooth sailing."
"I understand. Does anyone else know about this?"
"Xiao Sanyue and Danheng already know that Walter seems to have something else going on."
And Xing…she seems to be asleep.
When Jiang Lin looked at Xing again, he found that she was indeed asleep on the sofa.
After saying this, Ji Zi left, while Jiang Lin continued to observe the stars.
Shortly afterward, the train came to a stop...
Jiang Lin was somewhat puzzled... Was this... where had they arrived?
At that moment, the train conductor walked over with small, quick steps.
"Passengers, the train has arrived at Pinocchio."
Then, Pam said with some emotion:
"What was once a border prison has now been transformed into this luxury hotel."
Although I was also curious about what Pinocchio looks like now while on the train, I couldn't get off, so you guys can experience it for me.
Pack your bags; you're ready to get off anytime. Remember to look for March at the back; she's waiting for you to depart together.
Xing woke up at this moment, looked at Jiang Lin, then at Pam, nodded, and got up to go with Jiang Lin to find the others to get off the bus together.
But Jiang Lin didn't notice anything unusual about Xing, and she didn't shed tears like in the original story. Perhaps... it was because it was a dream?
Jiang Lin didn't plan to go together. He looked at Xing and asked:
"You go first, I'll get off the bus with you later. By the way, did you dream about anything?"
Xing shook her head: "I didn't dream about anything."
Jiang Lin lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Never mind, you go find the others first."
Xing didn't ask any more questions and turned to find March 7th and Danheng.
Jiang Lin walked to the car window, looked at the luxurious Pinocchio, and took another careful look at it...
Yes, it is indeed reality, not a dream...
After a while, everyone got off the bus together...
At the entrance to Pinocchio, countless tourists from all over the galaxy arrive, and many family members are also on guard.
When the train crew finally arrived, Jiang Lin witnessed March 7's suitcase being turned over and over four or five times.
Everyone was subjected to very rigorous questioning before the check-in procedures were completed.
When it was Jiang Lin's turn, the family member stared at Jiang Lin's information for a moment, then reacted and asked uncertainly:
"You...are Mr. Jiang Lin?"
Jiang Lin nodded, then replied:
"My name is indeed Jiang Lin. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The family member then respectfully said:
"No, no, you can go in, but please don't bring any dangerous items."
"I feel quite dangerous myself."
Jiang Lin looked at the family member and said calmly.
"You...you must be joking, please come in! Please come in..."
Jiang Lin didn't say much and went straight into the green channel opened by the family.
When the family member saw that Jiang Lin had left, he also quietly left. A short while later, another family member came to take his place.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin arrived at Xinghe and March 7th's location, deciding to wait a little while for Dan Heng...
At this moment, March 7th looked at Jiang Lin with some doubt:
"How come you got through so easily? We went through more than a dozen checkpoints, big and small, along the way."
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and replied:
"Perhaps my family members thought I looked kind and didn't think I was a dangerous person."
March 7th was somewhat unconvinced: "Do I look like some kind of dangerous person?"
Dan Heng also arrived here at this time.
Xing then called to the others to walk together. March 7th pulled Xing and took the lead, while Jiang Lin and Dan Heng walked behind.
After the group entered the lobby together, March 7th said with a sigh:
"This hotel lobby is absolutely magnificent. It's packed with guest rooms; how many people must be staying here?"
"I don't know which room we're in. Let's go, let's go, Uncle Yang and the others must be queuing at the front desk. Let's hurry and meet them!"
Then, in March, she saw Himeko and Welt and ran over to them first...
The remaining three were not in a hurry. Instead, they first observed the hotel lobby, which was indeed quite magnificent.
At this moment, March 7th turned around somewhat flustered and said to the three of them:
"Come quick, something seems wrong..."
Seeing this, the three of them did not delay and went to the front desk where Walter and Himeko were.
March 7th was somewhat puzzled...
"Look, why are so many people gathered at the front desk? Did they run into trouble again after getting off the bus?"
"Don't worry, March, let's go and see what's going on with Mr. Walter first."
Dan Heng then spoke up to comfort him.
At this moment, Jiang Lin thought of the gold dust. He looked around carefully and sure enough, he found a handsome young man with short blond hair and gorgeous clothes in the crowd.
As they approached, they heard Himeko and the others talking.
Ellie: "I'm sorry, but the system doesn't actually have either of those names you mentioned."
"The message we received on the Starry Sky Train states that a room has been reserved for us. Please check it again."
Himeko spoke with absolute certainty.
Ellie replied somewhat helplessly, "Okay, I'll check it for you again."
He then turned around and checked it again.
Hmm... The Starry Sky Train has four Platinum Rooms...
These are Mr. Walter Yang, Ms. Himeko, Ms. March 7th, and... Mr. Danheng. Indeed, only these four have booking information.
Ellie turned back to look at Himeko again.
Xing then spoke up: "Oh no, Jiang Lin and I are going to have to sleep on the floor..."
After a moment's thought, Walter spoke:
"I understand now. No wonder Xing and Jiang Lin's names aren't here. They hadn't even boarded the car when we replied to the family."
Is there any way to temporarily add two guest rooms?
Himeko also spoke up:
“These two are new passengers on our Star Train, and we can vouch for their identities.”
Ellie held her forehead with one hand, looking very embarrassed.
"This...you're saying this so suddenly, I'm afraid..."
To avoid sleeping on the floor, Xing cooperated by showing her roaming visa...
"No, I don't doubt your identity, it's just..."
Ellie said somewhat anxiously, after all, she didn't have that much authority, but the Star Train was also a distinguished guest of the family...
Moreover, she felt that the man named Jiang Lin was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but deep down, she seemed to have a premonition that she didn't know him...
At that moment, a confident voice rang out:
"But right now is the eve of the 'Harmony Grand Ceremony,' the most important moment of each season for Pinocchio."
Then, the family extended an invitation, and guests from all over the galaxy packed the place to capacity...
The hotel's security was further compromised, leaving no room for error. This sudden incident was beyond the control of the young woman.
"Everyone on the Star Train, please don't make things difficult for them."
As the figure drew closer, everyone on the train recognized him—it was Sand Gold…
Seeing this, Walter's eyes widened in wariness, but he still spoke directly:
"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by our mistake, Mr. Sand Gold."
Meanwhile, on March 7th, he secretly whispered crickets to Jiang Lin and Xing...
"It's that bastard who got chopped down by Miss Yomi... Could he be here to cause trouble...?"
Jiang Lin calmly said, "Maybe they're here to help..."
"Ah? Really fake?"
On March 7th, he asked with some doubt.
At this moment, Himeko took over Welt's words and spoke to Sand Gold:
