Chapter 298: The things inside the Dream Bubbles won't just run out on their own, right? The "Crosstalk" duo takes the stage!
Little Gui's livestream channel.
"So, the Astral Express crew's first phase of the mission is complete."
"Attended the Charmony Festival, found clues about the three Nameless predecessors…"
"Next is to investigate the truth behind the Watchmaker's legacy."
"And of course, the latest task—dealing with the Stellaron!"
"So, we need to split into two groups."
"Old Yang and the siblings will go to confront the Sunday."
"Our protagonist group will go with Gallagher to see the Watchmaker's true legacy!"
As they spoke.
The protagonist group had returned to the monument.
Gallagher addressed the nameless monument: "Old friend, sometimes I forget you're already dead. It's like you still have so many words to say, so many roads left to walk."
"Now, I've kept my promise and brought the descendant you worried about your whole life. I don't know why you could never forget that train, but I still remember the last words you said before leaving this world…"
"Don't let us down, old man."
As his voice fell.
The platform began to shake violently.
The ground beneath everyone's feet rose rapidly!
Rising up from amidst the towering skyscrapers.
Until it reached the garden suspended in the air.
"Go on ahead. His final destination… is in the garden up ahead."
"The first, and the last Nameless of Penacony—"
"The Watchmaker, Mikhail Char Legwork."
Seeing this scene.
Little Gui felt a bit nervous.
The legendary Watchmaker…
Also a legendary Nameless.
In their era, they were undoubtedly the most active protagonists in the galaxy!
And now…
As they approached.
The sight ahead emerged before them.
Beneath the sea of the Memory Zone, in the garden closest to the full moon reflected in the water.
An old man leaned back in an armchair, silent and still.
The Watchmaker—Mikhail Char Legwork—he had already embarked on that endless long dream, and no sound could ever wake him again.
Forever frozen in this moment.
And in Mikhail's arms was a shimmering, iridescent Dream Bubble.
Gallagher indicated that this was the true legacy he left behind.
But when he checked it, he didn't see any content inside.
He guessed it might be some kind of code related to the Trailblaze.
However.
When Stelle stepped forward to touch the Dream Bubble, after confirming it repeatedly, she discovered that this Dream Bubble was, in the true sense, an "empty dream bubble."
March 7th exclaimed: "How can this be?"
"Hmph, or rather, it's just as I expected." Gallagher wore an expression of 'of course'.
"He always had inexplicable faith in the Nameless. In his plans, the Trailblaze always had a place. I don't know where that confidence came from… When he was still alive, he never managed to contact the Express."
"I never understood what that old man was thinking, but this empty Dream Bubble is really his style. Filled with nonsensical fantasy… and incomprehensible romanticism."
"Old rascal… I didn't expect him to leave any contingency plans anyway."
However, Himeko wore a solemn expression.
She said: "No, Mr. Gallagher. I think Mikhail must have left us the most precious thing."
"Heh, are you going to start preaching some grand philosophy too?"
"Just as Mikhail believed in the Nameless of the future, we also unconditionally believe in the Nameless of the past. They were willing to dedicate their lives to the land they loved, so how could they depart in a hurry with regrets about the future?"
"This Dream Bubble must have content; we just haven't fathomed it yet. Mr. Gallagher, when it comes to believing in the Watchmaker, you are the same, aren't you?"
Gallagher: "I'm a guy who follows the Path of Enigmata; my life philosophy is not to believe in anything."
"…So I equally understand what belief means for the Trailblaze. I also want to know what he actually left behind. Heh, I'll leave it to you all."
Himeko pondered for a moment.
Suddenly she said: "May I borrow your pet to sleep? I need to go back to the Golden Hour and head to the Dreamscape Sales Store to confirm some things…"
"For Mikhail, and for the future of Penacony."
...
"Did Himeko discover something?"
"Blank memories can't form a dream bubble, so there must be something inside."
"The Trailblaze represents believing in every step of the future, every possibility!"
"Awesome! Each of them understands the Trailblaze better than the Nameless themselves."
"There's definitely something there, but it's not time to reveal it yet. I always feel like Penacony still hides some secrets…"
...
Little Gui scratched her head.
She also expressed her own opinion: "I agree with Himeko's idea!"
"How could the precious legacy left by the Watchmaker be empty?"
"So… could the things inside this Dream Bubble have been stolen by someone?"
"It couldn't possibly have run out on its own, right!"
[ [Public Enemy], completed ]
[ New mission, [Gunslinger and the Smart One], started ]
[ Switching to [Boothill]'s perspective… ]
[ Boothill and Dan Heng have reached a consensus. Now, they must find a way to sneak into the Sweet Dream and save their companions… ]
Seeing the prompt on the screen.
Guinaifen temporarily set aside her guesses about the Watchmaker's legacy.
...….
"Finally, we've reached Dan Heng and Boothill's plot!"
"The art style of these two together is just too jarring…"
"Looking at it now, it seems the two have reached a cooperation, got off the train, and have also arrived at Penacony!"
At the hotel front desk.
The cold-faced dragon and the smirking Boothill stood together in front of the lobby attendant, Alley.
Dan Heng spoke: "Hello, we are Nameless from the Astral Express, we'd like to check in."
Alley was stunned: "Astral Express? But earlier…"
"Yes, our partners have already checked in beforehand. My name is Dan Heng, my personal information should be in the hotel system."
"I see. But your partner said at the time that your itinerary had changed and you wouldn't be able to check in."
Boothill waved a hand: "Ha! Doesn't that mean the plan has changed again."
Alley looked at Boothill with some confusion.
"May I ask who you are…"
"I'm a new Nameless who just boarded the Astral Express, my name is Pom-Pom."
...
"?"
"Hahahahaha…"
"Pom-Pom's reputation ruined!"
"Pom-Pom: ?"
"Pom-Pom: Right, my name is Boothill-Pom. I'm a Galaxy Ranger-Pom."
"Alley has been through too much lately."
"World-famous painting: Galaxy Ranger is still farming mobs."
"Why does Dan Heng always end up with such strange people?"
"The past is the past, the present is the present"
"With these two together, why does it feel like a crosstalk duo?"
