Star Iron: I picked up a secretary at the beginning of March 7th

"Hey!"

"Yo, wake up."

When Hualin opened his eyes, he saw the system looking at him with a smirk on its face. He immediately perked up and asked, "You...did you do this?"

"I do not know."

That's what it said, but the system's wildly raised mouth corners didn't mean that.

"(Urban swear words), it's my fault...ah."

"Oh my, it was just a dream." The system said with a little regret, "I just didn't expect that you would wake up. It seems that the ability compatibility of the abnormality is not very good."

"Huh? Are you treating me like a guinea pig?"

"It's better than not waking up. You know the ability of that sheep... or chicken. Do you want to sleep forever?"

"..."

Hualin didn't want to pay any more attention to the system, but looked around.

"Hey, let's talk about sightseeing later." The system came close to Hualin and asked curiously, "Tell me what you dreamed about just now? You were laughing when you fell asleep just now. What? Let me guess, did you dream about your little Sanyue?"

"No, I had a dream... I hope it wasn't a dream. Oh yeah, where is this?"

"It's not March 7th... Then why are you smiling so happily? Could it be..."

"Ok?"

Hearing the system's mean laughter, Hualin frowned slightly and stared at the system without saying a word.

The system tactfully put away its smile upon seeing this, and explained to Hualin in a serious tone: "Although you may be confused by this, this is indeed Pinocchio."

"Oh, of course, strictly speaking, it's 'real Pinocchio'."

"what?"

"Hey, what did I say? You must be confused for a moment." The system said, "I knew it." "Anyway, you just need to know that this place is called Liumeng Reef, and it is the real Pinocchio."

"...Why am I here?"

"Um...I need a guinea pig."

"You (urban swear words) really treat me as a guinea pig?"

"It seems that you are very self-aware of your settings."

"(District 25's characteristic foul language), you don't even want to act anymore, right?" Hualin glanced around and said angrily, "Let me go back, quickly."

"If you don't help me, neither of us can go back."

Compared to the indignant Hualin, the system was somewhat calm and relaxed: "If you think no one is waiting for you, you can probably waste time here with me."

"...What do I need to do?"

"Hey, come with me."

After saying that, the system turned around and left, but after a few steps, it turned back and gave Hualin a meaningful look.

"Tsk, I get it, I get it." Hualin clenched his fists, but finally chose to loosen them and keep up with the system.

At this time, the other side.

"what!"

"You're awake, little sleepyhead. It seems you had a good dream. How about it, did you dream about me?"

"You...it's you! You saved us."

"I just helped you leave that memory zone, that's all." Black Swan looked Xing up and down and said calmly, "Welcome to reality - Daydream Hotel - the place you are most familiar with and the safest place."

"I'm glad that your mental state is still normal and not affected by that 'original dream'. You're lucky."

"Thank you, Liuying... Where is my friend?"

"Haha, it seems that you care about that little girl a lot." Seeing that Xingruo cares about Liuying, Black Swan couldn't help but laugh softly, "Yes, even in the face of 'death', she tried her best to protect your safety... Even I am a little moved."

"I know you have a lot of questions in your head, don't be anxious. Before that, report your safety to your friends who are worried about you. They are in the hall outside, come on."

After saying that, Black Swan turned around and opened the door. Seeing this, Xing followed Black Swan to the hall.

"How suspicious! How can it be such a coincidence? There is definitely something wrong with that woman." As soon as Xing arrived at the hall, he heard Sanyue's complaining voice. He carefully glanced at the black swan in front of him, and Ji Zi's helpless voice came over: "But she did find Xing and saved her... Now we can only listen to the other party's request..."

"Hush, they're coming."

It was Cangye's voice.

When I walked down the stairs, I saw Sanyue who was worried and angry, Ji Zi and Uncle Yang who were on high alert, and Cangye who was staring at the Black Swan with vigilance.

"Ms. Jizi, look, I brought the child back as promised."

"What about the other one?" Cangye stared at Black Swan and said in a bad tone, "Cang...where is my brother?"

"Everyone can lie, but memories can't. I can tell you responsibly." Facing Cangye's questioning, Black Swan remained calm, "He's gone. In all my memories, he disappeared without a trace. By the way, he..."

Black Swan lowered his voice and said in a voice that a few people could barely hear: "Consider it a stowaway."

"......I see."

Everyone knew how Hualin got in, and now that Black Swan pointed it out again, Cangye didn't ask any further.

"So, Xing, how did you end up in a place like that...what happened between you and Hualin?"

"It's a long story, but I'll make it short." Xing told everyone his previous experience in a concise manner.

"Finished?"

Hualin leaned against the wall, looked at the system and asked, "So, you took me here in a roundabout way just to make me listen to your story, or the story of the abnormality that I already knew?"

"Hmm? You've heard it, why don't you say it?" The system's innocent and cute look made Hualin hard and his fists hardened.

"(Urban swearing), did you do this on purpose?"

"Who knows?" The system just smiled, making Hualin even angrier.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Seeing that Hualin was really angry, the system quickly changed the subject, "Let me ask you first, what did I just say?"

"At least two, at most six. Just an empty dream and the bird of the end, and you even talk about the small bird, the tall bird, the big bird, and the dark forest separately."

"That's good to know." The system said with a smile, then stretched out its hand and touched the iron fence beside it.

"Go ahead, take this elevator."

"Huh?" Before Hualin could react, he saw the system fiddle with it and the iron fence opened - it turned out to be an old-fashioned elevator.

"It will take you back, go ahead, I'm leaving."

The system waved its hand and turned away.
