[Star Dome Railway - Jing Yuan: Under normal circumstances, this situation would not happen on a planet covered in the light of "Harmony".]

[Star Dome Railway - Jing Yuan: But Mr. Gallagher just said that in the long-lasting war of independence in Pinocchio, many factions including the Masked Fool, the Nameless Guest, the Fictional Historian, the Mourning Actor, the Vanguard of Doom... all participated.]

[Starry Sky Railway - Jing Yuan: Even if there is an additional "abundance", it doesn't seem surprising. Fu Qing is probably suspicious because of this.]

"I don't know." Gallagher replied calmly, "When I met Mikhail, he was already the "Watchmaker". Maybe he inherited the title."

"...Mr. Sheriff, how old are you?" As if he had thought of something, March Seven suddenly became curious about the age of the man who was talking in front of him.

Gallagher turned and glanced at her before answering, "... thirteen."

[Star Dome Railway-Xing: This TM is thirteen years old? ]

[Original God-Paimon: Huh?! ]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: This doesn't look like she's thirteen years old at all! ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Kiana: Could it be that he is actually some special race? Aren't there always those in games? So he grew up very quickly, and became an old man at a young age. ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Bronya: Although the stupid Kiana's thoughts are a bit jumpy, in a large universe like "Star Dome Railway", this possibility cannot be ruled out. 】

[Starry Sky Railway - Gui Naifen: Hmm... the thirteen years he mentioned doesn't mean the thirteen Amber Ages, right?]

[Genshin Impact-Paimon: Uh... I think that seems even scarier. 】

"It's impossible no matter how you look at it!" March 7 in the picture also expressed strong disbelief.

Without dwelling on the issue, Gallagher continued: “Hanunu liberated the Frontier Prison, but left before he could see peace.

"The scarce resources, the covetous outside world, the disloyal prison districts... Asdena's future is still precarious.

"It was not until the historical "watchmaker" extended an olive branch to the "family" and tried to turn this prison into a star of a grand party... "Pinocone" finally got its current name and stepped onto the stage facing the stars."

"That's why he is called the 'Father of Pinocchio'." Jizi finally understood why the 'watchmaker' had such a reputation.

But new doubts arose.

Since the "family" was personally invited by the "watchmaker", and the "watchmaker" holds such an almost lofty status in Pinocchio, why was he called a "traitor to the family" by Gallagher?

San Yue Qi immediately expressed his doubts, "But, you clearly said before that the "watchmaker" was a traitor to the "family"? You also said that you were his companion, so you also..."

Gallagher shook his head slightly. "I am not his companion, but one of his many "children."

[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: Uh... in this case, wouldn't the relationship be closer? ]

[Star Dome Railway Sushang: Could it be that Mr. Gallagher is also a traitor? ]

[Star Dome Railway - Gui Naifen: Ah? But, if this is the case, not only the "Father of Pinocchio" of the "Family" is a traitor, but even the sheriff of the "Family" has become a traitor... Can we really catch the criminal in this way? ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: It is indeed possible. After all, it sounds like he has a very close relationship with that Gallagher.]

But Gallagher's words in the next video shattered everyone's speculation in the chat room.

"But I am indeed a traitor. I did not betray the "family", but I betrayed... Mikhail."

[Original God-Paimon: Huh? ]

[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: Huh?]

[Honkai Impact 3rd-Tesla: Huh? ]

[Star Dome Railway-Xing: There are still experts?! ]

"Oh...what did you do?" Ji Zi asked back in the picture.

"I didn't do anything..." Gallagher took a deep breath and looked even more depressed. "This is the biggest betrayal."

He continued, "Like you, I once had close friends. We worked hard for Pinocchio, but the Oak Family... did us an injustice.

“Mikhail is old and can no longer protect his children.

"We left the 'family' and found our own way, and became traitors to 'Tongxie'... even though the real traitor was someone else."

At this point, Gallaher's tone suddenly became a little excited, "They still praise the reputation of "Watchmaker" to the outside world, but secretly nail him to the pillar of shame.

“Even so, I still hope to clear his name.

"As long as we can find out the real traitor, the mastermind behind all this, Pinocchio's "Harmony" will be able to get back on track...

"…but we lost. After so much time, the Dreamland had been deeply affected. Under the endless pursuit, I gave up…like a lost dog.

"The family accepted me back and gave me the job of sheriff. It seemed like forgiveness, but it was actually punishment.

"From then on, I was completely cut off from my companions... and my past. And Mikhail..."

He paused before continuing, "...I heard that he died in a corner where no one cared, a place where no one could find him.

“I understand that from this moment on, the Pinoconi that I once was will never come back.”

After a moment of silence, Jizi continued, "We are deeply sorry for this story... but it's not that simple, right?"

"Hmph... Apparently, someone has inherited the name of 'Watchmaker' and has been secretly carrying out activities against the 'family' until now." Gallagher nodded.

"Is 'Watchmaker' an organization?" Xing asked.

After all, according to Gallagher's words, the real "watchmaker" Mikhail had already died in a corner where no one cared.

Obviously, the person who sent out the invitation in the name of "Watchmaker" could not be the "Watchmaker" himself, but could only be someone who secretly wanted to rebel against the "Family".

"That's understandable. But there should be only one person who inherited the title of "Watchmaker"."

Gallagher then sighed, “What a pity, after all these years, I still don’t know who that person was, or even if it was a person… or Mikhail’s ghost wandering in my dreams.

"So do you understand? That's why I'm willing to tell you so much... Because the girl's death must be related to the "Watchmaker's Legacy".

"And at the end of the fog...you and I can both get the answers we want."
