Chapter 245 Joachim's Story
Continued from last time...
"Ahem, well, I will answer your questions. After all, no matter what, you are well-known in the world for the "Star Train", and you are also a distinguished guest of the "Watchmaker". "
"What's more... I met this gentleman once during the 'Golden Hour'..." He glanced at Qiong, and then continued: "I remember that the little girl with silver hair was also there..."
"Well, to be honest, I feel very sorry for what happened to that child."
………………
Qiong: "Hiss... Brother Chen Ye, is this uncle Gallaher really the owner of that "Memory Domain Meme"? Why does it feel like he is not the owner?"
Chen Ye: "Alas... I never said that Gallagher was the owner of the "Memory Domain Meme". I just said that he might have a close relationship with that guy."
Chen Ye: "In short, I suspect he is pretending. Let's wait and see what happens."
………………
After hearing what Gallaher said, Qiong pretended to be bitter and resentful and said, "So... we are here to investigate this matter under the order of the family."
And Sister Jizi also said calmly: "Qiong is right, and that is exactly why we came to visit Mr. Gallagher. The train can't just sit there and watch the child's death, so we decided to help the family come to the "family" to find out the truth."
"I hope that this will bring him justice."
But when Gallagher heard this, he said with a slightly mocking tone: "Hahahaha, the 'nameless guest' is actually mixed up with the 'family'. Alas... it's really fate that plays tricks on us."
"Ah? "Family"...what's wrong?" Xiao Sanyue heard something wrong in Gallagher's tone, so she asked in confusion.
But Gallagher did not continue, but evaded the question with an ambiguous remark: "It's nothing, it's nothing, don't mind it. In Pinocchio, everyone likes the Family."
"And... no matter how much one resists the "dream", when the time comes, one will become reluctant to give it up. After all... who would be willing to leave a warm home? Only fools, children, and... drunkards with unclear minds."
But Chen Ye suddenly said, "Hearing what Mr. Gallagher said... you seem to have some hidden meaning."
Hearing this, Gallagher turned to look at Chen Ye, and then said something - "You misunderstood, I didn't."
But in fact… he had been looking at Chen Ye with a gaze that was difficult to detect, but he could not see anything until a voice sounded in his mind——
"'Gallagher', a 'fictional historian'..."
Hearing the voice in his mind, Arah tried to find out the other party's location through the power of the fate map, but... there was no result.
But…it was precisely because he couldn’t find any results that Gallagher found the results. He didn’t care whether the other party could hear what he was thinking. He just kept talking to himself.
"Hehe, you said you could be resurrected. Mikhail and I didn't believe it at first, but now... the facts are in front of me. However... you have already paid too much for "Pinocone" in the past..."
But before Gallagher finished speaking, he found that he couldn't think any further, and then he heard Chen Ye say: "What's the matter, Mr. Gallagher? Let's talk about the case first."
Hearing this, Gallagher understood immediately. It seemed that the other party did not want to expose his identity to his current companions, so he went with the flow and said, "You want to talk about the case? Sure, no problem, come with me."
"After all... this place is crowded and not suitable for talking. Let's move to another place."

Continued from the previous chapter (Chapter 230: Isotopes in Different Space and Time)…
Joachim looked at the still bustling dream before his eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "Even after such a shocking tragedy, this beautiful dream is still running smoothly."
"To be honest, apart from the "family" of "harmony", I really can't think of any other force in the universe that can maintain such a huge building."
Huang Quan also took over the conversation and said: "Even the "family" itself is a huge, perfect building, like... like a living statue of a god."
"how you said that?"
"Each member of the 'family' sees himself as a piece of the puzzle of the divine body, and revolves around a single core (the star god of 'harmony' - 'Hippie') and a common ideal ('harmony')..."
“And under His command, we faithfully perform our duties, dedicate ourselves, and receive nourishment in return.”
"Hmm... an interesting metaphor, and this... may be the root of the long-lasting "beautiful dream" of "Pinocone". "
"But the human body has its time, and so does the 'divine body'."
After hearing Huang Quan's words, Joachim crossed his arms and said with a hint of trepidation, "Haha, this doesn't sound like a comment a Sea Patrolman would make."
But Huang Quan replied lightly: "I just pointed out a wrong fact. Sir must be able to understand the meaning of it better than me."
"Oh? Why do you say that, Miss Huang Quan?"
"The beautiful dream is crumbling, but it's not because of a certain star god, or a certain faction, or a specific visitor."
"Its collapse stems from a certain inevitability of human nature, but the 'family' is unwilling to admit this. However, this behavior has become an invisible catalyst..."
“When people indulge their minds in dreams of no cost, no pain, only comfort and enjoyment, they will get closer and closer to “death”. No matter how blissful they think they are living, death is always an unchangeable outcome.”
"And the most important thing is that this kind of necrosis is not fixed in one place. It will spread and diffuse. The mutation of one piece of the puzzle will eventually cause the entire building to shake... break... and eventually collapse..."
Joachim took over Huang Quan's words and said, "In the end - the beautiful dream that people build for freedom will in turn become a cage that imprisons themselves. Haha... I believe Miss Huang Quan has gained a lot from this trip. Would you like to share it with me?"
"Of course, the premise is that I still remember..." As she spoke, she gently placed her hand on the guard of the sword, but quickly put it down... in a flash.
Joachim noticed her movements, and Huang Quan explained: "Don't mind it, it's just some of my little habits."
"Because of some things in the past, I have become very easy to... forget. And only when this sword is unsheathed, those hazy scenes will gradually become clear."
"Please feel free to do so," Joachim said.
But Huang Quan said directly: "That's enough. I remember clearly what happened in "Pinoconi". Please ask."
TWO THOUNDS YEARS LATER
“…someone once said to me: ‘Pinocone wasn’t like this a long time ago, and it shouldn’t be like this.’ ”
"How to say?"
"I walked through the reality and dream of the grand event star, watching the night rise and fall. Time stopped for people, but the spiritual wealth and poverty... also stayed forever at their own scales."
“So I think… the collapse of the “beautiful dream” is inevitable.”
"Maybe - there is a way we can change this."
"Perhaps. But - if this is the world people want - if this is why life chooses to sleep - should we still make it change?"
"Well... how should I put this? I personally don't know how to answer your question, but... since Miss Huang Quan has shared so much of your experiences with me, then - it's my turn to share a story with you."
"Oh? Then please go on..."
"In my hometown, there was a man who made a decision when the world was facing an irreparable pain—"
"He weaves together the dreams of everyone in the world, connects people's dreams to each other, and carries them on his own body..."
