Although Xing He thought it looked similar to a bathtub, the liquid inside was obviously not for bathing.

Shajin explained, "This is the Dream Pool. As long as you lie in it and hold your breath, you can enter the dream world. According to the family, everything can come true in that dream."

“Is this the tool for entering dreams?”

Xing He looked at the Dream Pool with some anticipation. If Ji Zi hadn't told them to reunite after putting away their luggage, he would have really wanted to lie down in it and take a look at the dream world.

"Next, I wonder if Director Xing He can give me some time so that we can talk about another matter."

Sha Jin suddenly spoke behind Xing He, and Xing He turned around and raised his eyebrows.

"You want my help?"

Sha Jin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and clapping: "You are worthy of being Director Xing He, the No. 85 of the Genius Club. You guessed my little thoughts right away."

Xing He spread his hands and pointed to the sofa beside him: "Let's sit down and talk. Besides, this matter is not difficult to guess. As early as when I was in Yalilo, Feicui asked me to take good care of her colleague in Pinocchio if possible. I didn't see anyone else from the Strategic Investment Department here. Obviously, that person is you, right?"

Sha Jin sat down on the sofa with Xing He, then nodded and replied, "Yes, the family's spies are everywhere. I can only talk to you now, Director Xing He."

He arrived at Pinoconi the day before. Before meeting Xing He and others today, Diamond had contacted him and said that Xing He would also come to Pinoconi.

Because the family has been keeping an eye on the company, it will be difficult to provide additional assistance after he enters the dream. At that time, Xing He will be his strongest reinforcement, so Sha Jin comes to find him.

Xing He stared at the gold dust in front of him with interest and said jokingly, "The family sent invitations to all the major forces in the universe because of the grand ceremony later, right? It's obviously a grand event, but why do you still want to seek my help? Does the company want to make a big fuss in Pinocchio?"

"How is that possible?" Sha Jin smiled and spread his hands. "There are many foreign guests here, and the company also needs to pay attention to its reputation. The Strategic Investment Department is just here to recover some assets that originally belonged to the company. It's not a big deal. But the invitation letter that Director Xing He just mentioned was not actually issued by the family."

"Huh?" Xing He was stunned. If it wasn't sent by his family, then who could it be?

Ji Zi never said that the family denied these invitations.

"[Watchmaker]." Sha Jin slowly put away the smile on his face and looked at Xing He with a serious expression: "There is a ciphertext in the invitation letter sent to the company. After analysis by the Ministry of Science and Technology, we learned that this invitation letter was actually sent by [Watchmaker]. He left a question for us invited guests, [Why does life fall asleep]? Those who answer this question can get the legacy of [Watchmaker]. So, Director Xing He, do you think that this seemingly peaceful and prosperous event is actually undercurrent?"

"So, you want me to help the company grab this so-called inheritance?"

"No, the company doesn't care about the inheritance. It just wants to take back the control of Pinocchio. A long time ago, Pinocchio was a frontier prison used by the company to detain prisoners. But later there was a commotion and the company lost control of Pinocchio. Now, the old guys in the company see that Pinocchio is doing well and naturally want to take it back. It's a pity that this hard job finally falls on the heads of us workers."

"So how do you want me to help you?

Xing He discovered that Sha Jin liked to speak in a roundabout way, and he immediately lost his patience.

Sha Jin seemed to notice that Xing He was getting impatient, and he quickly explained with a smile, "Of course I don't dare to bother Director Xing He to do anything, but I just hope you can help me in some situations. Even if you don't do anything, as long as you agree to help, it will add a lot of confidence to our actions in Pinocchio."

Xing He did not refuse this: "Okay, for the sake of Jade and Diamond, I will help you when necessary."

Jade and diamonds have already brought him a lot of benefits, so he should still give them this little face. Only by having mutual dealings can a good relationship be maintained.

"As long as you don't disturb me at Pinocchio..."

Before Xing He could finish his words, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door.

"Why are you guys in my room?"

Sha Jin and Xing He looked towards the door together, and saw a woman wearing purple clothes and holding a sword in her right hand standing there.

Sha Jin frowned and turned to Xing He and asked, "Director Xing He, is this your companion?"

Xing He shook his head: "Of course not."

Sha Jin understood, and then said to the woman at the door in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "This is the VIP room. The names of all guests who can stay here can be found, but I don't remember you being on the VIP list of the Daydream Hotel, strange lady."

The woman was a little surprised when she heard the word "VIP room". She then took out the room card from her pocket, looked at it for a few seconds, and then bowed her head to apologize to the two of them.

"Sorry, I'm lost. I got the wrong room."

After saying that, the woman turned around and left the room, and also helped Xing He and the others close the door.

Watching the woman leave, Shajin couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect that someone could get lost and come to the VIP room on a separate floor. Could this person be a star chaser? I remember Miss Mockingbird was also on this floor."

Xing He looked at the mark on the small map that showed the woman he had just seen, and there was a long name on the mark.

"I don't think Lingshi is a groupie."

"Commander?!"

"Yes, envoy."

[The Void Commander, Lightning, Forgotten River Guardian, Mei]

Chapter 169: As we all know, the protagonist is always the center of the conspiracy vortex (first update)

"That woman just now turned out to be the envoy..."

Sha Jin was extremely surprised after learning Huang Quan's identity. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for his next plan.

If it was before, he might still be worried for a while, but now...Sha Jin secretly glanced at Xing He.

Director Xing He is no less capable than any other envoy!

At least according to the company's intelligence, Director Xing He's apparent strength is at least that of a Joy Envoy. Diamond had previously said that Joy had lent all its strength to Xing He. Although he remained skeptical about this, he believed that Director Xing He would definitely not be weaker than an Joy Envoy.

With such a strong man as his trump card, Sha Jin felt that he had nothing to worry about.

"Director Xing He, I'll be leaving first. I need to talk to one of the family leaders later. I'm sorry I can't stay with you for long."

"Well, I have to go reunite with my friends."

After separating from Sha Jin, Xing He went directly to the lobby of the Daydream Hotel, where Ji Zi and others had previously agreed to meet him.

Xing He found Ji Zi and others sitting on the sofa chatting in the lobby and walked over quickly.

"Sister Jizi, I'm here. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Ji Zi and the others looked up at Xing He and shook their heads: "No, we just got here. Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Xing He sat down opposite Ji Zi and looked around at the busy hotel lobby.

"Are you sure you want to talk about serious matters here? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?"

Ji Zi smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, Walter has set up some devices around us to make it difficult for people to notice us. This is a little trick commonly used among the nameless guests."

Xing He understood, so he didn't ask any more questions and waited quietly for Ji Zi to speak.

Ji Zi glanced at a few people, and then said softly: "This time we came to Pinocchio not only to keep an appointment, but also to investigate the three nameless guests. However, the information provided by the conductor is only the names of these three nameless guests, so the rest of the matter needs us to investigate in person. I will send the names to your mobile phones later, and that is the second matter."

Ji Zi took out a music box from her suitcase and placed it on the table in front of them.

Walter recognized the music box as an invitation letter sent by the [family] to the Starry Sky Train at first sight: "Is this an invitation letter? Jizi, why did you suddenly take out this thing?"

"Because I discovered earlier that this music box made some noise when it was playing, and that noise completely matched the wavelength emitted by the train when it jumped. This is a common way for nameless guests to ask for help. After I analyzed this ciphertext, I got the following sentence..."

Just as Ji Zi was about to speak the secret message, Xing He couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"Could it be about the legacy of the [Watchmaker] and the answer to the question [Why does life fall asleep]?"

Although Xing He's muttering was very low, it was heard by everyone. Ji Zi, who was about to say it out loud, was also stunned.

"Xing He, how did you know? You probably haven't seen this music box before."

Seeing that Ji Zi and the others had heard his mumblings, Xing He simply told them everything about his previous conversation with Sha Jin.

"This is what Sha Jin from the Strategic Investment Department told me. He said that the invitation letter the company received also contained such a ciphertext, and the content is almost the same as the one in your hand, Sister Jizi. This is very interesting. Did the person who sent out the invitation letter add such a ciphertext to all invitation letters? What is the reason for doing so?"

Walter listened to Xing He's words and couldn't help but frowned and thought: "Maybe the person who sent the invitation letter wanted to conceal the person it really wanted to send the invitation to, that is, the Star Dome Train."

Jizi agreed with Walter's point of view: "Well, the secret message appeared in the form of a request for help between unknown guests. The real purpose of the person behind it is to attract the Starry Sky Train."

Ji Zi held her chin in her hand and thought, "I'm afraid this has to go back to the three nameless predecessors I mentioned earlier. According to the train conductor, the three predecessors were not immortals. It has been a long time since they were active. The three nameless predecessors are probably dead. Then who could use this to lure the Starry Sky Train here?"

These questions are all beyond their ability to answer now.

San Yueqi was already a little dizzy from all the twists and turns. He couldn't help but shake his head while holding his forehead. "Well, I thought we could have a smooth vacation this time! But I didn't expect that we would be caught up in some big conspiracy again! My intuition tells me that Pinocchio's dream might turn into a nightmare!"

Seeing Sanyueqi's worried look, Ji Zi smiled and reached out to rub her little head.

"Don't worry, Xiao Sanyue. You can go and have fun without worry this time. Just leave these things to me, Xing He and Walter. Just relax."

"How can that be done!"

San Yue Qi couldn't help but grumble, "You guys are all busy with work, and I'm the only one playing. It makes me feel like a burden. Besides, if we want to play, we should play together happily! How can I be the only one enjoying it? I want to help too!"

Ji Zi smiled with relief. Did you reject March 7th?

"Well, in that case, let's go into the dream and investigate the three nameless guests. Walter and I will find a chance to talk to the family."

"Great! I can finally go into the world of dreams and take a look!"

When he heard that he could enter a dream, San Yueqi seemed a little excited.

Ji Zi and Walter briefly reminded San Yueqi and Xing He to be careful, and then they separated and planned to go back to their rooms to sleep.

Xing He returned to the VIP floor along the original route. As soon as he opened the locked door and entered the room, he found that a guest had been waiting inside for a long time.

Xing He almost subconsciously opened the small map to confirm the other party's identity.

"Black Swan, the Rememberer of Liuguang Yiting, tell me why you broke into my room. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid you will have to stay here."

The black swan, which had its back to Xing He, slowly turned around, its lifeless eyes fixed firmly on Xing He's face.

"You are Mr. Xing He, right? If I say that I came to see you out of curiosity, would you believe me?"

Xing He cut out the Yama Sword and held the hilt with his right hand.

"That's no reason to break into someone else's room, Rememberer."

Chapter 170: Practice More if You're Not Good (Second Update)

When Black Swan saw that Xing He was going to get serious, he quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Mr. Xing He, I didn't lie. After all, even [Memory] came to Yalilo for you, plus the poem of the end. As the rememberer, I didn't miss the reason to meet you."

Black Swan's explanation made Xing He believe it a little more. Ji Zi and the others had previously told him about the characteristics of the major forces in the universe.

For example, the group of people in the company are profit-seeking businessmen, and the rememberers of Liuguang Yiting are those who are always eager to record a big news. [Memory] Star God Fu Li himself is the biggest paparazzi in the universe.

However, what surprised Xing He was that the name "Poem of the End" was actually uttered by Black Swan. This should be a name that only he knew.

"The Poem of the End, why do you call it that?"

Seeing that Xing He's vigilance was gradually fading, Black Swan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained with a smile.

"This is the name given to the poem that resounds throughout the universe by Liuguang Memory Court. Based on its description of the future, Liuguang Memory Court called it the Poem of the End. Some of us even speculated whether Mr. Xing He would be the messenger of [The End]. But now it seems that you are not."

"Those who are walking on the road to the end are all retrogrades. If you, Mr. Xing He, are the messenger of the end, you should know why I am here."

Xing He put away the Yama Knife and nodded: "It's a very reasonable guess. You pass the test, but I don't want to keep you here to chat now. If you have nothing else, leave."

Black Swan smiled, nodded, and walked towards the door, but when she passed Xing He, she suddenly paused.

"Mr. Xing He, I have a question I want to know. Is everything described in the poem of the end true?"

Xing He glanced back at her: "It's possible."

Although Black Swan was a little surprised by Xing He's answer, she nodded without asking any more questions and left the room.

After the Black Swan left, Xing He locked the door, walked to the Dream Pool, and picked up a copy of the Dream Pool Instructions from the side.

[1. Your dream image will depend on your real appearance, so please do not lie naked in the dream pool.]

Originally Xing He had no such plan, but when he saw that it did not require to be completely naked, Xing He felt a little rebellious and wanted to take off all his clothes and lie directly in it.

But this is just a thought. Xing He doesn't intend to give the person in his dream the chance to appreciate his figure.

Finally, Xing He lay directly into the dream pool without even taking off his dark matter armor. This was to prevent anyone from attacking his real body while he was sleeping.

When Xing He was lying in the dream pool, the system prompt popped up.

[Respawn point set]

"Wow, this dream pool can also be used as a bed. Well, I'll dig it out when I get a chance."

As time passed, Xing He's eyes suddenly went dark, as if he had entered a portal to hell.

After a dizzying moment, when Xing He opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in the original room, but all the lights here were out. Only the Dream Pool itself was still emitting a faint light, making the whole room look a little dark and weird.

[Unlock Achievement: Dream World]

[Achievement Points Obtained: 1]

"Hmm? Isn't this right?"

Xing He climbed out of the dream pool with some confusion. According to the dream manual, after entering the dream, he should appear randomly somewhere in the dream, not in his own guest room.

But the prompts that pop up in the system can prove that this is indeed a dream world.
