Star Rail Simulation, but surrounded by characters.

"So, there is no need to apologize. If you are really sorry, it will be enough to accompany me to a few more places."

[Seeing this, not to mention Liu Ying in the simulation, even the audience watching the live broadcast couldn't help but be moved. 】

[Himeko: My evaluation is, full marks. 】

[Xie'er: No, he's too good at talking, isn't he? 】

[March 7: Let me, the great detective of March 7, analyze it for you. 】

[March 7: First make a joke to ease the atmosphere, then respond seriously, put yourself in my shoes, and finally say that you trust me, I am very happy, and you have not forgotten the topic of returning to work...]

[March 7: Notes, hurry up! Where are the notes! I need to take notes! ! 】

[Bronya: Why did you write it down while you were talking? 】

[Ji Zi: Xiao Sanyue, calm down. None of the people involved are as excited as you. 】

[Xing: Not necessarily. Liu Ying might be happily rolling around on the pillow right now. 】

[Liu Ying: ...No, don’t talk nonsense. 】

[Liu Ying: (Put down the pillow) (Look around suddenly) (Where is the surveillance installed!??)]

In the simulation, Dong Liuying showed a clearly moved expression after hearing these words.

She took a step forward, wanting to say something.

At this moment, music started playing, and the lights of the Pinocchio Theater in the distance also shone.

"That's right! This is a perfect location, overlooking the entire golden moment." Liuying reacted, holding her hand on the railing, "Quickly take a photo, this is the time..."

Just as she said that, she heard a clicking sound next to her.

It turned out that Su Qing had already taken off the camera to take a picture when she opened her mouth.

Liuying couldn't help but smile.

She turned her face sideways, looking at Su Qing's focused look, and said softly in a voice that was almost inaudible to her: "Thank you."

Don't say sorry.

I can only say thank you, right?

Su Qing checked the photos taken.

Against the vast background, the Grand Theater of Pinocchio is at the center, and the light of the theater seems to shine all around. From an overlooking perspective, the prosperity of the entire golden hour can be seen at a glance.

The system pops up a prompt.

[Evaluation: This is an almost perfect photo, full of skill and ingenuity. It perfectly presents the style of Pinoconi, and may be used as an official promotional photo. 】

Even the system made a determination.

Liuying came over and looked at the photo: "It's so beautiful."

Su Qing also looked at the photo: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful."

[March 7: At this time, shouldn’t you look at the girl next to you and say this kind of line? 】

[Xie'er: That's too cliche. 】

[March 7: Classics are the way to go! 】

However, looking at the photo, Su Qing always felt that something was missing.

Over the past month, he seemed to have more than just Pinoconi in his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, there was no answer. Su Qing didn't delve into it further. It was already good to be able to take such a photo.

At this time, the prelude passed and a melodious female voice sounded.

Su Qing knew that this was the famous song "Save a Heart from Sorrow" by the famous Pinocchio singer Mockingbird.

"Birds are born with no shackles,Then what fetters my fate?"

(Birds are born without shackles, so what is it that limits my destiny?)

"Blown away the white petals,Leave me trapped in the cage."

(The white petals are blown away, leaving me trapped in the cage.)

"The endless isolation can't wear down my illusion,Someday I'll make a dream unchain..."

(Endless isolation from the world cannot erase my fantasy. One day I will liberate my dream...)

Su Qing and Liu Ying neither spoke anymore.

They sat on the chairs on the rooftop and listened to the singing.

Liuying handed over an oak roll cake, and Su Qing also handed over a bottle of Sureda.

Su Qing felt bitter in her mouth while eating the oak roll cake. The taste of this cake is really not that good.

It can only be swallowed if it is paired with a sweet drink like Sureda and the joy of this dream city.

Su Qing looked to the left.

However, Liuying ate happily. She held the cake and enjoyed the music while taking a bite from time to time. Her happy expression did not seem to be fake.

Su Qing had a vague guess.

This may be due to anentropy, which prevents her from experiencing ordinary sweetness. Therefore, only this bitter cake could give her taste buds enough stimulation.

…

【Accompanied by music, you spent some quiet time. Such an atmosphere is extremely rare in Pinoconi. 】

[Although you each have your own concerns, the distance between you has obviously become closer. 】

·

[Hearing this speculation about cakes, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was slightly heavy. 】

[It was Bronya who broke the deadlock. 】

[Xie'er: Haha, fortunately this is just a false simulation. Otherwise, terminal illness, destruction of hometown, and poverty of life... This setting would be too miserable for Liuying. 】

[Liu Ying: Well (raises hand weakly), actually, I am like this in reality too. 】

【star:……】

【March 7:......】

[Bronya: ...]

[Seele: Sorry!!!]

[Hanabi: Someone won't be able to sleep tonight~]

[After eating the cake and the music ended, you left the rooftop. ]

[On the way to the edge of the dream, you were surprised to find a piece of exposed dream. This seems to be the deeper, original dream of Pinocchio. ]

[Liuying's eyes lit up. ]

[She is very honest with you now. She tells you sincerely that for her, this is a precious opportunity and she must go in to explore. ]

[But there may be danger inside. Liuying hopes that you will go back first. She plans to go in by herself. ]

[You think about it and enter the original dream. You can also record the hidden side of Pinocchio. ]

[As for danger, for you, as a cameraman, going deep into the original dream to take pictures; as a chef, going deep into the beast's lair to find ingredients, it seems to be no different. ]

[So, facing this situation, several options flashed through your mind:]

[A. Enter the original dream with Liuying and explore it in depth.]

[B. Enter the original dream with Liuying, but persuade her not to go too deep.]

[C. Persuade Liuying not to enter the original dream.]

[D. Ignore her and go back to the hotel to drink Suleda.]

Space Station: 5. Fireworks with too good imagination

Su Qing first ruled out D, which was too pretentious.

As for option C, Liuying attached so much importance to it, perhaps it involved the problem of entropy loss.

It is not realistic to persuade a person in a desperate situation to give up hope.

[So you thought about it and gave an answer.]

[You plan to go with Liuying, saying that you are also very curious about the deep dream.]

[But at the same time, you also persuaded her not to go too deep. Since there are hidden dangers, it is better to explore the edge carefully for the first time.]

[Your suggestion is reasonable, and Liuying was convinced by you. ]

[So you went to the original dream together, and carefully explored only around the exit. ]

"Is this the real dream hidden by the family..."

Liu Ying observed the surroundings.

This is a dream with a very gloomy tone, strange dream bubbles, upside-down directions, clocks and ticking sounds everywhere, and whispers from time to time.

[Liu Ying paid special attention to the sound of clocks and whispers. She thought it was related to the legacy of the watchmaker. ]

[You took a picture of the scene here with a camera. This is a photo that you would never get if you explored Pinocchio normally. ]

"It's almost time to go back." Su Qing reminded.

"Well, okay."

Although I still care, this exploration has yielded enough results. Liu Ying abided by the agreement before entering, and the two walked towards the exit.

The surroundings became quiet at some point.

A monster with many eyes, shaped like a palm, and with spikes on its tail quietly appeared behind them.

[March Seven: ! ! ]

[March Seven: Turn back! Turn back quickly!! ]

Neither of them noticed the monster behind them, and they talked in low voices, walking towards the exit in front of them.

The monster rushed out suddenly.

It came too fast and too quickly, and for some reason, its goal was quite clear, and it went straight to Liuying.

The monster flashed past Su Qing, and its spiked tail swung out like a sharp blade.

Liuying opened her eyes wide, turned suddenly, and moved her fingers slightly, as if she was going to do something. However, everything happened too fast, and she didn't even have time to respond...

[Time freezes here. ]

[Purple monster, girl in danger. You feel that this scene has an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. ]

[Maybe it's because tragedy is always played like this? ]

[A sense of foreboding that you are about to lose something fills your heart. ]

[Talent: Teleport]

[Description: Don't be bound by the established plot, and don't put your hope in the hands of others. Only by holding power and opportunity in your own hands can you avoid regrets. ]

[Skills must be used by people after all. 】

【Even if you have such a skill, it is useless if you look ahead and behind. 】

【The scene in front of you is a question like this: Will you hesitate? 】

【Some hesitations are irreversible. 】

Boom!!!

The purple monster's tail needle fell heavily, hitting a cloud of dust.

Liu Ying raised her head suddenly, but found that she was held in Su Qing's arms and had left the previous position.
