The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 261 Meeting Sunday

The sky darkened again, and the voice of Doctor Latio, the Truth Doctor, rang out: "It's time to wake up, gambler."

"What happened before was just a dream of gold dust."

"He covered his forehead and sat up on the sofa, still a little conscious."

"Oh my god, maybe I drank too much, Su Leda... I didn't expect you to come back so soon. How is it? What did you find?"

"As you might have guessed, no one outside knows that Robin has been killed. There's not even a whisper of a rumor. The TV is still broadcasting her ceremony rehearsal—probably a stand-in. People are still dreaming." Latio couldn't help but laugh.

“Of course.”

"Shajin wasn't surprised."

"Who could have imagined that death would actually befall the beautiful dream created by their family? Moreover, the victim was the heroine of the Harmony Ceremony."

"To be honest, I didn't believe it before, and even tried it myself a few times—until I realized I couldn't die. Whenever there was danger, I would be forcibly awakened by the Dream Pool, as if it were just a nightmare."

"That's why I'm convinced there must be a bigger secret behind this."

"This Sha Jin is really a ruthless person."

Dong Zhuo's eyelids were twitching.

Even a ruthless man like him who had killed countless people was frightened when he heard Sha Jin say that.

What does it mean to try several times?

That's nothing more than hanging, jumping off a building, or slitting one's throat.

Even though he knew that he was in a dream and theoretically he would not die, when he actually did these things, wasn't Sha Jin afraid or panicked?

What if he really died?

Then I won’t be able to drink fine wine or sleep with the Queen Mother anymore. What a pity!

"It seems that this gold dust... is actually longing for death," Li Ru speculated. "It longs to die, but for some reason cannot die. So it's constantly caught in a spiral of contradiction between wanting to die and being unable to."

…………

Latio: "You must have heard of that memory meme—when I went to the Oak family to make connections for you, they were in a state of panic. Besides the robin, there was another deceased person. We don't know his identity, but we know he was a stowaway."

"Two murders?!" Shajin was stunned, then realized, "I was wondering if that nameless guest's reaction wasn't right. She must have witnessed another murder... This murderer is truly a lunatic. But I have to say, the murders are a great starting point. We can accuse the family of negligence and use that as a pretext for the company to intervene."

"But their tactics are far more drastic than we imagined. They've even prepared a replacement for Robin." Latio didn't know whether to praise his family for their foresight. "So, what are you going to do next?"

"Hmm... Let me think about it. This is a rare opportunity, and I can't afford to miss it. I have to be very careful." Gold Sand pondered.

Latio scoffed. "Great, gambler! Are you at your wit's end so soon?"

"There are many chips, but you have to choose carefully. The most direct one... is still the robin."

"Remember, the Masked Fool told me to 'find a mute friend.' Mockingbird is the mute she was talking about. She's lost her voice, and most people don't notice. When she speaks, it's not her organs that produce the sound, but rather the resonance of 'harmony.'"

"If that girl hadn't lost her voice from singing practice, there was only one possibility: something was wrong with her family. To find out the reason, I tried everything I could to meet her."

“But she died, right before my eyes.”

"Of course there are ways to get the gold dust, but compared to using the robin as a breakthrough point, those methods pale in comparison."

"Wait a minute, so Hanabi was giving Shajin a hint? I thought she was just teasing Shajin."

Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded.

He always felt that he was pretending to be stupid and creating a silly character.

But now, he suddenly realized that he might be really stupid.

He didn't hear it at all!

"That..." Li Shimin smacked his lips. "I didn't hear it either. The main thing is, who would have thought that the robin was talking but actually mute!"

The power of harmony is so strong that it can even make a mute speak!

The power of destiny, isn’t it magical?

…………

"The game is completely lost, and I'm putting you on trial," Latio scoffed. "There are eyewitnesses at the scene, and the family will trust your alibi for now, but from now on... I'm afraid you'll have to spend the rest of your time under the watchful eyes of the hounds."

"The situation isn't optimistic, Professor. I'm starting to sweat. Do you think this situation... is still possible?" Shajin said, sweating, but in reality, he showed no reaction at all.

"Latio: "If you ask me about the probability—yes, but it's close to zero. To put it in a more local way, it's a dream. But if you just can't help yourself and want to try your luck, then there happens to be someone who is suitable... That man wants to see you again."

""who?""

""Sunday.""

"..." Shajin raised an eyebrow. "Will it be a court hearing or a private trial?"

"If it's the former, there's no need for me to deliver the message." Latio thought Gold Dust had asked a foolish question.

"Okay... That's right, all of it." Gold Sand's voice finally brightened. "See, the dead can't speak, but the living can. Latio, I can now confirm that there's definitely trouble 'within' the family. Just wait and see. That man's sister is dead... He'll be restless."

"Shajin believes in family ties. He's never even considered that there could be conflicts between siblings, or even siblings killing each other."

Liu Bei was quite surprised.

Logically speaking, since both Sunday and the robin are in high positions, wouldn't most people think that they are fighting for power?

Just like Hu Hai destroyed his entire family.

"Maybe it's because of Shajin's childhood experiences." Zhuge Liang even felt that there was a strong tendency towards self-destruction hidden under Shajin's smile.

And he was able to restrain this self-destructive tendency mostly by relying on his love for his family.

…………

"Latio brought the gold dust to the Morning Dew Mansion, the Oak family's stronghold, where the various families discussed the Pinocchio plan."

"In order to reach where Sunday was, the two of them even solved a code along the way."

"That's the test given on Sunday. If you can't do it, you'll be locked up there and wait for the company to come pick you up."

"Putting aside the question of whether it's embarrassing or not, the company's goal is definitely not going to work."

"However, these puzzles clearly don't faze Latio and Gold Dust."

"The two entered the gate. Sunday had been waiting for a long time: "It seems that the puzzle I set is still too simple for you, the company's envoy."

PS: I suddenly felt a tight pain in my chest this afternoon, which scared me because I had influenza A a while ago. I was afraid that it was pneumonia, or even myocarditis or white lung. I rushed to the hospital for a check-up and didn’t come back until around eight o’clock in the evening.

Fortunately, it’s nothing serious, but the doctor has strictly prohibited me from staying up late... otherwise, I don’t know what would happen.

I dare not stay up late to write anymore. There is definitely no way to finish five chapters today. I hope you will understand. I will try my best to update five chapters during the day.
