NFBE Chapter 229 "Dear guest, could you please come out and see me?"
Chapter 229 "Dear guest, could you please come out and see me?"
Continued from last time...
"Okay, my friend, I won't beat around the bush. I'll tell you the truth. I, Gold Dust, want to cooperate with Star Train as an individual."
"You shouldn't come to me for this matter. I'm not the boss of the Star Train. You should go to Sister Ji Zi for the cooperation. Oh, I see. You don't think you can't persuade Sister Ji Zi, so you come to me?"
"No, no, no, my friend, I am fully confident that I can convince Miss Navigator, but I have already told you... I have no interest in the battle for the inheritance."
“I came to Pinocchio just for work.”
"What kind of job?"
"I want to recover some lost property for the Company. Oh, I think you know, the ownership of Border Prison."
"I have some understanding, but not much."
"Well, how can I put it? Thanks to the "Cancer of All Worlds", this thing has long become a bad debt. Our "company" wanted to sit down and talk several times, but the "family" didn't even open the door."
"So? Don't beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say."
"Okay, okay, my friend, if you compare 'family' to a high wall, then all I have to do is to make this wall collapse, although I can't do it in a short time."
"But this is not my mission. My mission is just to make a few holes in this high wall. As long as there are loopholes, the "Company" will have plenty of means to deal with them."
"Then how do I know if you will use these tricks against us in the future?"
"If so, wouldn't it be better if you could help me? That way, you can understand the methods of the "company" in advance, and if we really deal with you in this way, you won't be helpless."
"..."
Qiong couldn't refute it, so she could only let "Gold Dust" continue talking...
After hearing the last part, Qiong roughly understood the meaning of "gold dust" -
He needs the help of the "train crew" because the "Starry Sky Train" has an unparalleled reputation in the universe, and "Harmony" will give the train the most fair evaluation.
And "Gold Dust" wants to use these good reviews to get everyone to support it, and put the death of "Mockingbird" on the table to make a flaw in the high wall of "family".
Then... maybe I should let the "company" intervene, but... I can't make the decision after all, and I have lost a lot of memories. Now I... am just like a child who is less than one year old.
The decision still has to be made by Sister Ji Zi and Uncle Yang, and... "Gold Sand" didn't force me to agree. I was thinking of beating him up.
Oh, this guy handed me this money, Qiong looked down and couldn't help but think - in the "dream", is this money really of any use?
Alas, it seems... I can only go back and talk to everyone.
When he thought of this, he suddenly saw the "Black Swan" standing beside him - "Hasn't she left yet? How about... go and ask her what she thinks?"
After thinking about it, Qiong immediately moved, and in the face of Qiong's doubts, "Black Swan" also said directly: "Dear, don't worry, if I hadn't seen your true strength before, I would have told you to worry about the means of "Gold Dust", the dangerous surroundings, and... potential dangers."
"But now... I am not worried at all. Your strength is unprecedented in my life. I think... within this "Pinocone", there is no one who can hurt you."
"Haha, Miss Black Swan, you are too kind. The universe is so vast that there are all kinds of things. Although Pinocchio is too small compared to the universe, it still has some people who are stronger than me."
After the two talked to each other for a while, they stopped talking. After a period of silence, "Black Swan" spoke first: "Well, I think you should go back."
Hearing this, Qiong did not refute, but went with the flow, although he could rely on the feather of "Yu Duchen" to pass through this chaotic "dream" on his own.
But... because he can't disturb Brother Chen Ye, so... he has to use it sparingly, because although the "Yu Duchen" itself has no energy limit, the feathers that are separated from it do have energy limits.
Once the energy in those separated feathers is used up, those feathers will become truly useless feathers unless you have a way to recharge them.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Qiong decided to hide the existence of "Yu Duchen" first. Now is not the time to let "Black Swan" know the existence of "Yu Duchen".
Before leaving, the "Black Swan" gave himself a card. Although the "Black Swan" said it very well, saying that this card could make him fall into a chaotic "dream", when there was no "Rememberer" around, this card could help him escape from the dream safely.
And this is also an apology for her concealing her true situation, but... due to Brother Chen Ye's teachings, the current Qiong is much more cautious than in the original plot.
Although he examined the card carefully, he could not see any clues. However, the safety of this card was related to his personal safety, so he still used "Yu Du Chen" to check it.
After confirming that the card was harmless to him, he thanked the "Black Swan" and returned to the surface dream.
The moment he returned to the surface dream, his cell phone vibrated countless times. He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from the "Train Crew Family".
………………
March 7: "Dome."
March 7: "Are you still in the Dream Hotel?"
March 7: "Dome!"
March 7: "Dome!"
When Qiong saw this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. After all... Xiao Sanyue really cared about her, but... she sent messages too frequently.
Just when Qiong was about to reply, Lao Yang suddenly sent a message asking, "What's wrong, Xiao Sanyue, did you encounter any problems?"
Sister Jizi followed closely and explained: "We are separated in the "Memory Realm", but don't worry, we are not in danger, and Qiong has the "Rememberer" with him, so there won't be any big danger."
March 7: "I'm so anxious."
March 7: "Help!"
Ji Zi: "Little Sanyue, please be patient and don't be impatient."
Dan Heng couldn't sit still when he saw this. He asked directly, "Do you need me to get out of the car to help you?"
And Sister Jizi quickly replied: "Not for now."
But Dan Heng still said worriedly: "Okay, but remember...if you need anything, you must tell me in time, and I will rush to support you."
Joachim sent a message to reassure people: "Don't worry, the real "Dream Hotel" is very peaceful and nothing unexpected has happened."
Dan Heng: "Huh, that's good."
Seeing this, Qiong also reported that he was safe and sound: "Family, my investigation is over and I am safe, but where should I go to find you?"
The next moment after this message appeared, Sanyue replied in seven seconds, and Sister Jizi also replied quickly: "Qiong, I'm glad you're okay."
And "March Seven" asked anxiously: "Qiong, are you okay? That bad woman didn't do anything bad to you, did she?"
Sister Jizi said: "Regarding Miss Liuying's matter... I'm sorry... but... she should be fine, right?"
Qiong: "Yes, "Firefly" is fine. I joined forces with everyone to repel "Memory Domain Meme·Death", and I also met Brother Chen Ye's former friends."
Ji Zi: "Okay, that's it. The "family" has now sealed off the scene. I'm negotiating with the representative now, and it will be over soon. And... we also have some speculation about the life and death of Miss "Liu Ying"."
Ji Zi: "But don't be in a hurry. If we leave too hastily, it may arouse the suspicion of the "family", so we need to wait a little longer."
Himeko: "Later... let's meet in front of the statue of Clock Boy."
When Qiong heard this, he went to the statue of "Clock Boy" first, then stopped in front of the statue, sorting out the whole story of what had just happened.
After waiting for dozens of minutes, Qiong finally waited for everyone's arrival. After listening to Qiong's story, everyone couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Especially on March 7, she said directly: "We have heard about Miss Liuying from Black Swan."
March 7: "It's just that... what we heard at that time was not your real version of what happened. But this is not bad, at least... Miss "Firefly" is still safe and sound, but Miss "Mockingbird" didn't expect..."
Joachim said with emotion: "Ah~ The reality is calm, but the wind in the dream is surging. This really fulfills the words of the Rememberer..."
Joachim: "...Ah, everyone. In short, now is not the time to be depressed. We should do what we can for them, such as...finding the murderer."
After saying this, Joachim said, “Let’s sort out our thoughts first.”
After that, everyone refined what they knew one by one, and then spoke out. Finally, after layers of refinement, they were able to deduce the current situation...
The "family" is unable to cope with the "Harmony Ceremony" and therefore needs the "Starry Sky Train" to help solve the case.
And...the case they wanted to investigate was only about the death of "Firefly", but they avoided talking about the death of "Mockingbird".
As for... "gold dust"? Obviously, this envoy of the "company" is not simple. Although he actively lowered his profile in the conversation with Qiong, he was still trying to intercept her in his words.
Moreover, she is intentionally or unintentionally agreeing to induce us to doubt "Huang Quan" and just oppose her!
As for those who died in the "dream", are they still alive in reality? In this regard... everyone said that it is necessary to return to reality and find out the truth.
However... when Xiao Sanyue thought that she could finally see Sister Ji Zi and Lao Yang walking together, "Joachim" suddenly said that he still had some things to do.
Maybe I need to stay in the dream for a while longer, and I will return to reality and reunite with everyone later. This makes Xiao Sanyue a little disappointed, but that's all.
After Joachim saw everyone off, he suddenly said something puzzling: "Dear guest, could you please come out and see me?"

Character introduction
Gold Dust, whose real name is Kakavasya, is a character in the game "Honkai Impact 3rd" and its derivative works produced by miHoYo.
Dust Gold comes from the planet Tsagania-IV and is a member of the Evikin people.[44] He is a senior executive of the "Strategic Investment Department" of the Interstellar Peace Corporation and one of the "Ten Stone Hearts". His foundation is "Gui Yi Dust Gold".
A risk-takers with a flamboyant personality, he always smiles, but his true feelings are hard to guess. He won his current position by gambling with fate, and he sees life as a high-risk, high-return investment, and he has always been at ease.
Identity background
The gold dust comes from the Ewekin clan of Tsyganj. His original name was Kakavasya, which means "son blessed by the mother goddess". He is the only Ewekin.[44]
Gold dust came from the desert of Gygania. For sixty copper coins, people branded it, put it in shackles, put it on the rack, and buried it in the yellow sand. But the sun could not kill the gold dust. Instead, the quicksand carried it to the embrace of the society and the company.[47]
Ms. Jade of the company admired Sha Jin very much. After going through a life-threatening test, Kakavasia was promoted to one of the "Ten Stone Hearts" of the company's "Strategic Investment Department" - Sha Jin, and obtained the cornerstone of a part of the power granted by the "Diamond" to seal the "Preservation" Order [21].
character traits
Although his appearance is very deceptive, he is actually a real gambler.[8] Sha Jin is diligent, generous, and willing to cooperate.[44] He is cautious and self-deprecating. Even if he wins a lot, he is still afraid of losing.[46] He likes to take risks.[46]
He always smiles and has an unusual fascination with gambling and probability. He has earned amazing wealth and status with his beliefs.[10]
Sha Jin did not believe in careful planning or precise calculations. He only believed in the chips in his hand and the courage to go all out.[4]
The fate of gold dust has been unfair from the beginning. In the final analysis, it is all due to luck. Good luck makes people strong and seizes their own destiny.[12] Gold dust has an easier time dealing with the poor than the rich.[13]
Alluvial gold can be used at will, or betrayed at the right time. Both use and betrayal are means of exchanging value, but alluvial gold will never be traded at a loss.[15]
Quote: "Three chips are all it takes. All or nothing."
