Chapter 203 Black Swan

"Who are you...?" Liuying looked at her and asked puzzledly.

"Relax, little sister, I'm on your side."

"Well...why not call me this...The Rememberer Black Swan." The Black Swan smiled slightly.

"Okay, it's about to wake up, you guys should go quickly." The black swan said to the firefly.

Then Black Swan threw a tarot card at the TV behind Liuying.

The moment it was touched, the card instantly turned into a purple vortex gate.

"See you next time, the three of you." After the Black Swan said this, a weak suction force sucked in Liuying and the other two.

It seemed as if it was urging the three to leave quickly.

"Thank you..." Liuying thanked again and quickly took Xing and Sanyueqi away.

They seemed to be in a trance, motionless.

Maybe I'm experiencing something in a 'dream'?

I hope it's not what Liuying encountered.

...

"You're awake, little sleepyhead. It seems you had a good dream. How was it? Did you dream about me?" The Black Swan sat beside Xing's bed and asked in a low voice who had just woken up.

"It seems like... I had a dream. Was it a dream? It was you who saved us?" Xing held his head and looked at the Black Swan.

"I just helped you leave that memory zone, that's all." Black Swan shook his head.

"Welcome to reality, the Daydream Hotel, the place you are most familiar with...and the safest."

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

"Are you the Rememberer of Yiting...? What is the original dream..." Xing asked, trying to find the answer.

"I know you have a lot of questions in your head, don't be anxious, but before that, report your safety to your friends who are worried about you." Black Swan stood up and pointed to the slightly opened door of the room.

If you listen carefully, there's a lot of noise in the corridor outside.

There are Sanyue.. Sister Jizi, Lin Yu and others..

Outside the room..

"So suspicious... How could it be such a coincidence? There is definitely something wrong with that woman, even though she saved us..." March Seven said with a puffed mouth.

"Well...she did find you and rescued you. Now we can only listen to her request first..." Ji Zi said.

"That rememberer obviously came prepared, so it's better to be cautious." Walter reminded.

At this time, Xing walked out of the room and saw Himeko and the others gathered on the stairs.

"Ms. Jizi, look, I brought the children back as promised." Black Swan walked up from behind Xing and said to Jizi.

"Xing, are you okay? When I woke up, I found that you and Liuying were not around. I was so worried..." Sanyueqi said worriedly.

"I'm glad you're safe. Let me introduce you to Miss Black Swan, the rememberer of Liuguang Memory Court." Ji Zi said to Xing, Liuying and Sanyueqi.

"So you are Ji Zi's friend?" Xing looked at the Black Swan.

"Oh, no, Sister Ji Zi said that they met by chance while investigating dreams." Sanyueqi said quickly.

"Well, not yet, but because of you, we may be able to take this opportunity to get to know each other better." Black Swan said with a smile.

"So, how did you end up in that place? What happened?" Ji Zi asked.

"we are.."

When Ji Zi raised the question, Xing told her everything that had happened before, but concealed some information about Liuying's true identity.

"So, the person who attacked you was a woman dressed in red, who was good at illusion and could change into the appearance of other people..." Walter said, extracting useful information from Xing's words.

"Her name is Hanabi, and she's the Masked Fool who sneaked into Pinocchio... Don't worry, that girl won't try to target you for the time being. She must think she has succeeded, and is feeling smug somewhere right now." Black Swan explained.

Indeed, Lin Yu nodded.

"You seem to know her very well?" Walter looked at the Black Swan.

"Of course, I know everyone here. In Pinocchio, everyone may lie...but Memory won't." The Black Swan smiled, as if she knew everything.

Liuying became nervous when she heard what Black Swan said. She was exposed to his memory.

"So I need to clarify a fact to everyone... Miss Hanabi's trick can make people hallucinate, but that weird dream has nothing to do with her, but comes from Pinocchio himself."

"Pinoconi...itself?" March Seven wondered.

"Haven't you realized it yet? The so-called "Dreamland" is actually the result of the family's careful maintenance by some unknown means. It is a well-designed dream."

"And the memory realm you fell into... that is what dreams are originally like, chaotic, dangerous, mysterious... in the ever-changing maze lives the beast of memory, the memory realm meme..."

After hearing this, Lin Yu understood instantly, and also knew why he was the only one who did not enter the "dream" at that time.

Hanabi also said that she deliberately didn't let me in, but now it seems...she was lying to herself again.

"She's right, everyone. Do you remember the scenery when you fell asleep?" Ji Zi nodded, as if agreeing with Black Swan's statement.

After Xing recalled for a moment, he said, "Deep sea, right...?"

"Hey, so everyone sees the same thing? I remember... it was a guest room, and through the mirror came to a long corridor..." March 7 said while thinking hard.

"That's what the hotel staff at the 'Corridor of Thoughts' calls it," Walter continued.

"Don't you think these sceneries are very different from the Pinocchio in your dream...but very similar to the dream described by Miss Black Swan?" Ji Zi said.

"Indeed...I didn't take it seriously when I first saw it, but looking back, the two have a lot in common." Walter nodded.

Then, Ji Zi continued, "Also, I learned from some regular customers that the first stop after entering the dream was originally the "hotel in the dream", but due to some unexpected circumstances, "the hotel is currently undergoing renovations."

"Under what circumstances does a building need to be repaired? Combined with their experience just now, the answer is very clear. Pinocchio's dream is "sinking", returning to its original state... falling into the deep sea memory."

"Sinking? You mean...the dream world is disintegrating?" March Seven said in surprise.

"What happened to the Dream Hotel is a sign."

"I see. This explains the incongruity in the family's words. If this news were to be known to the outside world, regardless of the actual safety of the residents, the reputation of the Star of the Gala would inevitably be affected. The Harmonious Music Ceremony is approaching, and they have no choice but to conceal this matter." Walter seemed to understand something.

"The safety of the guests may not be guaranteed at all... Isn't the monster they encountered the best proof? Do you want me to remind you again, it is a memory meme... How could a meme that alludes to death and murder appear in a dream that the family claims is "absolutely safe"... In Pinocchio, everyone may lie, perhaps including the family themselves?" Black Swan said to everyone in a playful tone.

"Ms. Black Swan, we have fully understood the current situation. Let's go back to your original proposal... May I ask why Liuguang Yiting chose to cooperate with the Starry Sky Train?" Ji Zi asked.

"Well, please allow me to correct you... This is my personal request, not on behalf of Yi Ting. The answer is very simple, Miss Ji Zi, I just want to make an exchange... an exchange of "memories". In addition to my duties, I also have some... personal aesthetic pursuits. I am a rememberer and a collector, and I also want to witness those crystal clear and brilliant precious memories. This idea is easy to understand, isn't it?" Black Swan said, and some floating memories appeared in his hand for everyone to see.

"And you, the unknown passengers of the Starry Sky Train, the practitioners of the way of 'pioneering'... I believe in your potential, and I also believe that you will shine with unique brilliance on this stage. This is why I want to make friends with you. The place where nightmares and sweet dreams meet... is the most suitable cradle of 'memory'." The Black Swan said with a smile.

"I understand, but before I answer you, please let us have some discussion." Ji Zi nodded at her.

"Of course, feel free to do so."
