"It is the cradle of my life, the meaning of my birth into this world, and for a long time, it was how the world saw me… how I was supposed to be." Sam said softly.
March 7th nodded, indicating that she understood, then looked towards Welt, who was silently watching her from a distance, and said softly, "Let's talk about it here. Uncle Yang is waiting for us."
"The time scale in Dreamscape Reef is different from reality, so you must not let your guard down. You are very sensitive to remembrance, and if you are not careful… you might get lost in this Remembrance Domain," Sam reminded.
The two walked hand in hand to Welt's side, and he said, "Let's go, the elevator at the end of this path will take us there."
They walked through the alley and entered the elevator. The long elevator quickly ascended to the top and then stopped steadily. As the elevator door slowly opened, a brand-new plaza came into view. The light here was slightly dim, but it did not hinder vision; instead, it created a wonderful atmosphere as if one were in a city under the night sky.
Welt couldn't help but exclaim, "It's incredible that such a large settlement exists in the dreamscape, outside the Family's sight."
"It's just that the atmosphere of this stronghold… is very different from the Golden Hour."
In the distance, the art style of Clockie and Golden Hour, which were not too close, made people feel a bit strange.
[Dr. Ratio: Based on the image of Clockie and some other information, it can be determined that the residents here and the dreams controlled by the Family are not isolated; they can all lead to each other.]
[Jing Yuan: It's just that it's really strange that the Family hasn't discovered this place until now.]
[Bronya: Gallagher—this name appears in almost all content related to Dreamscape Reef. It's too suspicious.]
"When I first saw it, I was also very surprised. The sky here is like… a reflection of the Twelve Dreamscapes."
"What's even stranger is that this place is also divided into a trade area and a residential area. Although simple, it's very complete. It seems that a considerable number of people live here."
"Although the two dreamscapes have different styles, the architectural styles are not much different, very much like the work of the same designer. The connection behind this similarity also makes one wonder…."
"Hmm. No point in overthinking it. Let's go meet Himeko and the others first," Welt murmured to himself.
"Walk down this road and turn right, and you'll be in the trade area. There are more people there, and maybe someone knows where they are." Sam pointed them in the direction, then prepared to turn and leave.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Welt asked.
Sam stopped at the sound, turned back to look at the two, and with a slight smile on her lips, replied, "The Astral Express should need some internal discussion space. During this time, I will try to find Gallagher first."
Welt was silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, then nodded in agreement, "..Hmm, then we'll contact you later."
March 7th looked at her with some confusion, opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but before she could, Welt raised his hand to stop her.
"Let her go. Before we judge whether she is trustworthy, we also need to observe. Before that, I want to talk to someone else," Welt then said to March 7th, gesturing in a certain direction. "Let's go together, March 7th. I think you should have noticed."
[March 7th: The person behind us is… Misha? And… Clockie!]
[March 7th: When did they arrive… Could Misha really have a hidden identity?]
[March 7th: March, your mouth is already quite accurate.]
[March 7th: What do you mean? Don't make it sound like I'm a jinx.]
March 7th scratched her head and asked curiously, "Who?"
"There, right over there," Welt turned his head backward, and March 7th followed his gaze, indeed spotting two familiar figures—Misha and Clockie—standing at a nearby street corner chatting.
"The bellboy of The Reverie Hotel, why would he appear here, and so soon after Miss Acheron severed the Golden Hour?"
"To be safe, it's better to confirm."
As the two approached, Misha seemed to notice them and enthusiastically said, "Oh, it's the previous guests! We meet again! And a new friend… I f-forgot to introduce myself. I'm Misha, the hotel bellboy."
"Hello, Misha, I'm Welt. We met when we entered the dream… Hmm… who is this next to you?"
"Tick-tock! Old friends and new friends, let's high-five!" Clockie said with his hands on his hips.
[March 7th: So Uncle Yang is still young at heart, huh?]
[March 7th: Huh, Uncle Yang can actually see this Memory Zone Meme?]
[Aventurine: Even more interesting, friends. Currently, besides Misha, the only people we've seen in the information who can see this Memory Zone Meme are the members of The Train crew.]
"Mr. Welt is still young at heart!" March 7th exclaimed.
"You are… a Memory Zone Meme?"
"No. Clockie is my good partner, and our home is here." As he spoke, he looked a bit strange:
"How did the two guests get here? Logically, this dreamscape shouldn't be open to the outside… Could it be Xiuyan?"
"You said this is your home?"
Misha nodded, "Yes. After my work in the Golden Hour is over, I go home. The transportation used to be convenient, but since we couldn't travel freely, Xiuyan has been taking people back and forth between the two dreamscapes."
"And who is that 'Xiuyan'… Can you describe what it looks like?"
"Xiuyan is a Memory Zone Meme. It looks fierce and has many big eyes. But it's actually very obedient, and Gallagher has always been taking care of Xiuyan."
[Sparkle: Pfft, hahahahaha]
[Sparkle: The name 'Xiuyan' is really too funny.]
[March 7th: If Misha needs to go back and forth every day, does he get poked twice every day?]
[March 7th: Uh, your way of thinking is as strange as ever.]
"Hearing that description… could it be?" March 7th said in disbelief.
"From the description, that Memory Zone Meme is undoubtedly death. Although it is considered a nightmare by the Family, in the eyes of the residents here… the truth seems to be completely different," Welt said.
"death, death? How can there be death in a dream? Xiuyan is fierce, and occasionally it brings back innocent travelers by mistake, but it would never harm anyone!"
[Seele: It sounds like—my dog doesn't bite.]
[Pela: When you say 'fierce'… are you referring to an entrance and invitation logic similar to a serial killer?]
[March 7th: Although I already guessed it was a bus, this name Xiuyan… do all the buses here look so fierce?]
[Sampo: Your bus is a bit of a rip-off.]
