[Hersher of Knowledge: "I'm so envious. It's so nice to celebrate the New Year."]

[Rosalia: "Little Mitsuki is still so lively."]

[Raiden Mei: "Hehe, what is Kurata angry about?"]

.

[Kiana: "It's New Year~"]

[Alicia: "I also want to celebrate the New Year on the train. I wonder what it feels like."]

[Padofilis: "Cute little Mitsuki."]

[Susanna: "Kafka is so good to the pioneers..."]

[Himeko: "Children with mothers are different."]

[Fu Hua: "..."]

[Encyclopedia content: "The sea of ​​trees returns to peace."]

New videos come one after another.

The audience fixed their eyes on the screen.

Golden moment.

The pioneer saw an old man sitting alone on a chair.

Seeing the old man's lonely look, she couldn't help but move closer.

The old man in front of her calmly gazed at the dream city in the distance.

Following his gaze, smoke rose above the fictional horizon of the city, which was a sign that the dream chasers had started the carnival for the umpteenth time.

The hustle and bustle of the city of festivals was so far away that the pioneer and the old man had nothing to do with it.

He sat like a statue, and even the signs of breathing were difficult to detect. Staring at him one by one, the pioneer couldn't help but hold his breath.

Then, the pioneer was surprised to find that people don't need to breathe in dreams.

"Hello, young nameless guest."

The old man suddenly greeted him.

"I thought you were dead."

The pioneer joked.

The corners of the old man's mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of smile.

"Many people don't realize that breathing is superfluous in dreams."

"It's just that for most organic life, forgetting to breathe is a difficult thing."

"No one has spoken to me for a long time. Some... too long."

"My name is Chadwick. Can you tell me your name, kid?"

Chadwick said.

"Keep it a secret."

The pioneer joked.

"Ah... you do have some "mysterious" temperament."

"Once, I could roughly guess a person's background just by his expression and clothes. But you... you are very special, kid."

"Even through the thick filter of dreams, I can feel the surging vitality in your body."

"You can't stop, and you are always pursuing adventures - or, "opening up" - on the road. ”

“The energy you possess… is endless… it seems to be constantly flowing out, exceeding the limit of the heart of any creature I know of.”

There was a hint of excitement in the old man’s tone.

…

[The Herr of Knowledge: “Is it so exaggerated? I used toHow come you didn't see it?"]

[Kiana: "This old man... seems very different..."]

[Raiden Mei: "He can actually see the specialness of the pioneer? Very impressive."]

[Theresa: "I can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person."]

[Alicia: "What an amazing old man."]

[Himeko: "Does Chadwick have a fiery eye? He can't see that there is a star core in the pioneer's body, right?"]

[Fu Hua: "That's too outrageous. It seems unlikely."]

[Padofilis: "But he should have noticed something abnormal in the pioneer's body."]

[Misterine: "Interesting old man..."]

...

"Child, the unknown in you makes me curious and happy. Both are emotions I haven't experienced for a long time-after all, I know nothing about myself now. Thank you for coming to me."

"Unfortunately, although my heart is extremely eager, I am afraid we can't talk here for a long time... They are coming."

Chadwick said helplessly.

"Sorry to bother you, Dr. Chadwick. The Hound received the news that you are being harassed by unknown people. We are here to help you drive away the troublemakers~".

Just then, a member of the Hound family came to the two.

"..."

"Just a calm chat."

The pioneer explained.

"Intruders-do I need to remind you that this area is not open to dream chasers? The Hound has the right to drive out the troublemakers who violate the family rules from the dream."

The member of the Hound family warned indifferently.

"...I'm leaving now, don't be violent. ”

The pioneer was worried about hurting the old man next to him and didn't want to cause trouble here.

"...Don't do it, Moira. I like this child. Can you let her go for once? For my sake, you know I hate violence the most."

The old man stopped him.

"...I know, Dr. Chadwick, this is for your sake. But just this time...never again."

"Leave here, dream chaser. Don't get close to Dr. Chadwick again, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Moira glanced at the pioneer and spoke coldly.

"...Tick! Come here, come here!"

Suddenly, the clock boy appeared not far away and shouted to the pioneer.

The pioneer walked towards the clock boy.

"Tick! There is something wrong with that old man! ”

“Why is he here alone, and why is he being watched... Very concerned, tick!”

The Clock Boy said.

“Can I beat that woman?”

The Pioneer said bluntly.

“Be friendly, don’t fight! Violence can’t solve problems!”

“I can feel that the old man must haveSomething is missing! Tick-tock, he is so pitiful! "

"Why don't we hide first and help him after the family members leave---it's the turn of the "clock trick" to show its power!"

The clock boy suggested.

……

[Herrscher of Knowledge: "As expected of a pioneer, it fits my style of doing things. What's there to be afraid of? Let's fight if we can!"]

[Yulandel: "But they are from the Hound family. If we fight, things will get out of hand."]

["It may even affect Chadwick."]

[Jizi: "All you know is fighting and killing."]

[Susanna: "If you can avoid fighting, try not to fight. Although this is just a dream, the Hound family is still a police officer of Pinocchio. The crime of assaulting a police officer is not a small one anywhere."]

[Shigure Kira: "Is it rare that Susanna can analyze it so clearly?"]

[Misterine: "Hehe, Susanna is a It has grown a lot."]

[Alicia: "Are you looking down on our Susanna?"]

[Theresa: "Let's wait and see. Chadwick is not simple. There are people from the Hound family protecting him?"]

[Raiden Mei: "Maybe he is a big shot..."]

[Seele: "It's the turn of the clock trick again!"]

...

After waiting for a long time, the Hound members guarding Chadwick finally left...

(Pioneer: Finally left... The family members are really patient.)

(Hurry up and check on Chadwick's condition.)

Pioneer returned to Chadwick.

"Why... haven't you left yet?"

"I'd love to talk to you more, kid. But you can't stay here for long... The hound family never warns the same person twice."

Chadwick wanted to urge Pioneer to leave quickly.

But Pioneer didn't answer and turned on the clock trick directly.

She saw that Chadwick was missing the gear of resentment.

After installing the gear of resentment on Chadwick, she unlocked the mood dial.

"Hmm..."

There is no doubt that the "clock trick" was successful... But Chadwick's expression did not fluctuate at all.

But Pioneer still noticed some changes hidden under the surface...

The accumulation of years made the old man in front of him no longer show his emotions on his face, but the uncontrollable joy and anger still made his limbs tremble.

"I...seem to remember something, something is beginning to emerge."

"The memory is still incomplete, many fragments are incomplete...but I can definitely see them."

The old man's limbs no longer trembled with anger. He closed his eyes and planned to start tracing everything in his life.

"Countless scattered fragments flashed before my eyes...I tried to catch them with a net, but they always managed to cunningly pass through the holes in the net,Disappeared in the ocean of unconsciousness."

"Only a few fragments were caught and left. I have to pick them up carefully..."

"I saw...something, some...weapon, accompanied by endless killing and death. It seems to be related to me."

"Why...I don't think I am a violent person. I don't want to think so..."

Chadwick began to talk to himself.

"Maybe you have been involved in a war."

The pioneer guessed.

"Maybe, maybe...but it feels different, very different. I don't want to go down that line of thought..."

"I also saw...some people. Ah...outstanding people, shining even in scattered memories."

"I...I used to be one of them, I was..."

"...genius club. I finally remembered that I was a member of the "Genius Club". "

Chadwick said excitedly.

...

[Raiden Mei: "Ah? Someone from the Genius Club? Then this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Black Tower."]

[Theresa: "Contact the Black Tower quickly!"]

[Himeko: "It seems that I have to take care of it now. The pioneers will definitely not ignore the Black Tower's affairs."]

[Susanna: "Why would someone from the Genius Club be in Pinocchio? On vacation?"]

[Tesla: "The people of the Hound family are watching him so closely, as if they are guarding a prisoner. How could he be on vacation?"]

[Alicia: "¨ˇ In other words, the family imprisoned a member of the Genius Club? ”】

[Padofilis: "If Black Tower knew about this... I can't imagine it..."]

[Herrscher of Knowledge: "The Pinoconi family is so bold that they dare to imprison Black Tower's sister?"]

[Fu Hua: "... When did Black Tower become your sister? Although she is indeed much older than you..."]

[Shigure Kira: "Chadwick is so pitiful..."]

[Prometheus: "Don't worry, there must be some reason behind it. Maybe the family is protecting Chadwick."]

[Rita: "Indeed, judging from Chadwick's age, he should be quite old."]

...

"Then why are you here?"

The Pioneer asked.

"I want answers just like you, kid. I have been stuck in this meaningless dream for too long. ”

“Why did I let time pass by without any thought of self-salvation? Could it be…”

Chadwick frowned and glanced at the place where the hound had just passed.

“The family… they must have exerted some kind of influence on me, and I am powerless to resist.”

“I can’t get rid of this influence by myself. I must rely on some powerful external force to intervene… such as… such as the “Genius Club.”

ChadwickChadwick guessed.

"I happen to know a few "geniuses".

The Trailblazer said.

"Are you willing to lend a hand to an old man you met by chance, child? Even if you don't know what kind of person he is?"

Chadwick looked at the Trailblazer and asked.

"I can't watch you being imprisoned by the family."

The Trailblazer put his hands on his hips, looking righteous.

"I understand... What drives you is the trust in your own intuition."

"Thank you, child. This dream is beautiful and illusory. If I stay here, I will never be able to save myself. It is you who gave me a glimmer of hope."

"That's enough... Go (Lee's) child, before the hound comes back. I will wait for you to come back with hope. ”

Chadwick watched the Trailblazer leave with gratitude.

(Trailblazer: Chadwick from the Genius Club... I have never heard of this person before.)

(Let me send a text message to Black Tower to ask.)

Trailblazer: I have something to ask you.

Trailblazer: Do you know a person named Chadwick?

Black Tower: Chadwick?

Black Tower: This is just an ordinary name. There are probably billions of people with the same name in the universe.

Black Tower does not seem to have any impression of this name.

Black Tower: Can't you explain it more carefully?

Trailblazer: I met an old man named Chadwick in Pinocchio's dream.

Trailblazer: He said he was a member of the "Genius Club".

Black Tower: ? ? ?

Black Tower: I don't have time to joke with you. Don't waste my time.

Black Tower: You are kidding, right?

Pioneer: What's so funny?

Black Tower: ...So you are serious?

Black Tower: Come back to the space station to find me, quick!

Black Tower: Oh, and more.

Black Tower: Keep your mouth shut, don't tell anyone about this!

Black Tower: I'm not kidding either.

……

[Raiden Mei: "Haha, the conversation between these two is really funny."]

[Hersher of Knowledge: "Black Tower has no impression of this person? That may not be the case."]

[Susanna: "Maybe Black Tower himself has forgotten it, after all, there are so many people in the Genius Club." Gou]

[Himeko: "Perhaps Chadwick has no research results, so it is not worth Black Tower to remember him."]

[Padofilis: "Is it possible that Chadwick is lying..."]

[Yulandel: "Maybe we will know when we arrive at the Black Tower Space Station. It is too early to draw a conclusion now."].
