Star Rail Simulation, but surrounded by characters

"So, no need to apologize. If you're really sorry, just accompany me to a few more places, that would be enough."

[Seeing this, not only the fireflies in the simulation, but even the audience watching the live broadcast could not help but be moved. ]

[Jizi: My evaluation is, full marks. ]

[Xi'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: I started by joking to ease the atmosphere, then responded seriously and put myself in your shoes, and finally said I was happy that you trusted me, and didn’t forget to get back to the main topic of work…]

[March 7: Notes, quick! Where are the notes! I want to take notes!!]

[Bronya: How come you remembered it while you were talking? ]

[Ji Zi: Xiao Sanyue, calm down. The person involved is not as excited as you. ]

[Xing: Not necessarily. Liuying might be rolling around happily hugging her pillow right now.]

[Liu Ying: ...No, don't talk nonsense.]

[Liu Ying: (Puts down the pillow) (Looks around suddenly) (Where on earth is the surveillance camera installed!??)]

And after hearing these words, Dong Liuying in the simulation also showed an expression of being moved.

She took a step forward, wanting to say something.

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

"That's right! This is a great spot to overlook the entire golden hour." Liuying reacted and held onto the railing with her hands, "Quickly take a picture, this is the perfect time..."

As she spoke, she heard a crackling sound next to her.

It turned out that Su Qing had already taken down the camera to frame the shot when she opened her mouth.

Liuying couldn't help but smile.

She tilted her head, looked at Su Qing's focused expression, and said softly in a voice that she could hardly hear, "Thank you."

Don't say sorry.

All I can say is thank you, right?

Su Qing checked the photos she had taken.

In the vast background, the Pinocchio Theater is located in the center, and the light of the theater shines all around. From the bird's-eye view, the prosperity of the entire golden hour is in full view.

The system pops up a prompt.

[Comment: This is a nearly perfect photo, full of skill and ingenuity. It perfectly presents the style of Pinocchio, and may be used as a promotional photo by the official. ]

Even the system has 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 very beautiful."

【March 7: At this time, shouldn’t I look at the girl next to me and say this line?】

【Xi’er: That’s too old-fashioned. 】

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

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

Over the past month, it seemed that there was more to Pinocchio than just this in his mind.

After thinking about it and coming to no answer, Su Qing did not delve into it any further. It was already good enough to be able to take such a photo.

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

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

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

(Birds are born without shackles, so what is it that binds my fate?)

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

(The white petals blew 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...)

Neither Su Qing nor Liuying said anything else.

They sat down on the chairs on the rooftop and enjoyed the singing.

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

Su Qing ate the oak roll cake, and her mouth felt bitter. This cake really didn't taste very good.

It can only be swallowed when paired with a sweet drink like Suleda and the joy of this dream city.

Su Qing looked to the left.

Liuying was eating happily, she held the cake in her hands, enjoying the music and taking a bite from time to time, her happy expression did not seem fake.

Su Qing had some vague guesses.

This might be because of her entropy, which made her unable to feel normal sweetness. Therefore, only this bitter cake could give her taste buds enough stimulation.

……

【Accompanied by the music, you spent a quiet time. Such an atmosphere is extremely rare in Pinocchio.】

[Although you all have your own concerns, the distance between you has obviously shortened. ]

·

[After hearing this speculation about the cake, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became a little heavy. ]

[It was Bronya who broke the deadlock. ]

[Xi'er: Haha, luckily this is just a fake simulation. Otherwise, terminal illness, destroyed hometown, and poor living conditions... this setting would make Liuying too miserable.]

[Liu Ying: That (raises hand weakly), actually, I am like this in real life too.]

【star:……】

【March 7: ……】

[Bronya: …]

【Xi’er: I’m sorry!!!】

[Hua Huo: 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 dream building, you were surprised to find a piece of exposed dream. This seems to be Pinocchio's deeper and more original dream. ]

【Liu Ying's eyes lit up.】

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

[But it might be dangerous inside. Liuying wants you to 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 the danger, for you, as a photographer going deep into the primitive dream to take pictures, and as a chef going deep into the beast's lair to find ingredients, it seems to be no different. ]

[So, faced with this situation, several options flash through your mind:]

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

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

【C. Persuade Firefly not to enter the original dream. 】

【D. Ignore her and go back to the hotel to drink Suleda. 】

Space Station: 5. Fireworks with an Overly Good Imagination

Su Qing first ruled out option D, as this option was too ridiculous.

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

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

【So you think about it and give an answer. 】

[You plan to go with Liuying, indicating 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 is convinced by you.]

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

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

Firefly observed the surroundings.

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

[Liu Ying pays special attention to the sound of the clock and the whispers. She thinks this is related to the watchmaker's legacy.]

[You used your camera to take pictures of the scene here. This is a picture you would never get if you were to explore Pinocchio normally.]

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

"okay."

Although he was still concerned, he had gained enough from this exploration. Liuying followed the agreement before entering and the two walked towards the exit.

I don't know when the surroundings became quiet.

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

【March 7: ! ! 】

[March 7: Turn back! Turn back quickly!!]

Neither of them noticed the monster behind them, talking in low voices as they headed towards the exit in front of them.

The monster rushed out suddenly.

It came too quickly and too fast, and for some reason, its target was very clear, it went straight for the firefly.

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

Liuying opened her eyes wide, turned around 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 is frozen here.】

[A purple monster and a girl in danger. You feel that this scene has an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.]

[Perhaps it’s because tragedy always plays out this way?]

[An ominous feeling of losing something fills your heart. ]

[Talent: Teleport]

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

[Skills ultimately depend on people to use them. ]

[Even if you have such skills, it will be useless if you look ahead and behind. ]

[The scene before me is a question like this: Will you hesitate? ]

【If you hesitate, there is no chance of recovery. 】

boom! ! !

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

Liuying suddenly raised her head, only to find that she was being held in Su Qing's arms and had already left her previous position.
