Bengtie: The first kiss in March was my gray hair

Chapter 149 So...life falls asleep because of peace?

"Bad news? What bad news?" the girl asked curiously.

After taking a look at the cute little girl, the uncle in the gray vest said in a heavy tone: "The bad news is that Miss Liuying... has disappeared from the face of the earth. There is no trace left in the dream, and her body cannot be found in reality. It's as if... she has never been to Pinocchio."

"Ah? That's not right! If what you said is true, then Sister Liuying would have completely disappeared! But the bad guy said..."

"Uh... March~" Jiang Chen glared at his girlfriend speechlessly.

Feeling her boyfriend's slightly reproachful gaze, the girl was a little confused for a moment, and it took her a while to react...

[Ah! Oops! Oops! I accidentally let something slip...]

[The bad guy... shouldn't be angry~]

She glanced at her boyfriend with a guilty conscience, and only felt relieved when she saw that he had turned around and was talking to the sheriff.

[Huh~ Fortunately, the bad guy is not angry, otherwise... I would be guilty of a heinous crime~]

[But come to think of it, the bad guy... seems to have never lost his temper with me~] Thinking of her boyfriend who always treats her gently, a touch of tenderness and sweetness appeared in the girl's beautiful eyes. [Hehe~ He is worthy of being the man I fell in love with on March 7~]

And while she was pursuing herself...the man she liked was talking to the sheriff with a calm expression.

"Captain Gallagher, you just said that there is no trace of Firefly's existence in reality or in dreams. Could it be... because of 'death'?"

Gallagher shook his head with some regret. "Impossible. Pioneer, haven't you figured it out yet... The problem now is not 'she died', but 'it's as if she never appeared'.

The words of the uncle in the gray vest were like a thunderbolt, hitting the three people in front of the bar. For a moment, the three of them fell silent.

Looking at the few people in front of him who were silent, Gallagher sighed slightly. "Well, forget it, since we have come to this point, I might as well tell you directly. Miss Liuying's situation... let alone you, in fact, even the Hound family has never seen it before."

"Well, 'first time'? ...So in Pinocchio, 'death' is a real thing, right?" the red-haired woman, who had not spoken for a long time, asked calmly.

"Haha, you've already seen it all, there's nothing to hide." Gallagher laughed at himself.

"As you can see, a city with a bright and beautiful surface must have a dark side. I don't need to say more about the adult matters."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said meaningfully: "So... the family has always been deliberately hiding that unspeakable side?"

Gallagher gave the gray-haired boy a look of appreciation and nodded. "You are right. The family has always known about the existence of 'Death' and has intentionally concealed it."

"But...if you want to question the family based on this alone, you are too naive."

"Indeed... there is also 'death' in dreams, but... so what? After all, this is an event with a very low probability of happening... and it will only affect a very small number of people."

"If you really want to investigate this case in depth, you must first find out... the family's real "difficulties."

Seeing that he was trying to guide him, Jiang Chen was also happy to be free, and said cooperatively: "So, Commander Gallagher... are you going to start telling the story of you and Mikhail, the 'watchmaker'?"

"Haha, Pioneer, you are very smart and perceptive. I know that your Star Train also received the music box, right? Do you know what secrets are hidden in it?"

"Uh... music box? What is that?" Jiang Chen asked with a strange look on his face.

Seeing that he really didn't seem to know the inside story, Gallagher looked at the red-haired woman beside him. "Ms. Jizi, you didn't tell them about the secret code?"

"No." Ji Zi shook her head and said, "I... don't want them to go into their sweet dreams with doubts. I hope that the two little guys can leave good memories in Pinocchio. Rather than... sadness and doubts..."

Looking at this gentle elder sister, the girl's eyes gradually became moist. "Wow, sister Jizi, you are so kind to me and the bad guys..."

"I will never say your coffee tastes bad again~"

After tapping his girlfriend's head, Jiang Chen said unhappily, "March, at a time like this, there's no need to add the last sentence."

"But...but, the coffee made by Sister Jizi...is really..."

"Ahem!" Jiang Chen winked at his girlfriend frantically, trying to get her to slow down. If she continued talking, she would probably have to drink a cup of coffee specially prepared by Aunt Jizi every day.

Fortunately, his girlfriend understood what he meant and changed her words immediately. "Well, the coffee made by Jizi is really... really bitter~"

Looking at the funny couple on the train with some amusement, the woman smiled gently and said, "Haha, you two little guys...don't worry, I won't force you to drink coffee."

"Hehe," the girl giggled and scratched her boyfriend's gray hair, "Bad guy, did you see... it's still our sister Jizi, beautiful and generous, gentle and kind, charming and elegant..."

"Yes, yes, Miss March is right. Aunt Ji Zi is the best!" Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of pampering and love.

Seeing that the two little guys were showing off their affection again, Ji Zi shook her head helplessly. "Alright, alright, you two. Let's get back to business. Don't you want to know... what's in that music box?"

"have what?"

"What's the matter?" they asked in unison.

"A secret code... will allow you to see the impossible in your dreams, find the legacy of Pinocchio's father, the "Watchmaker", and then answer the question: why does life sleep?"

"Hmm? 'Why does life sleep'? Why does this sound so familiar? Miss March, does it sound familiar to you?" Jiang Chen looked at his girlfriend with amusement.

The girl's face turned red, and she stared with her big watery eyes and said shyly: "Uh, bad... bad guy, what are you... talking about? I... I don't understand at all~ Really... I don't understand at all~"

"Oh, it seems that Miss March has really forgotten. Then I will kindly remind you... Why is life dormant? It is because of them..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Bad guy! Don't tell me! Don't tell me!"

Looking at the blush on the girl's pretty face, Ji Zi fell into deep thought, and after a while, she said meaningfully: "Little guy, Sanyue, do you... know the answer?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about, Sister Himeko~ You just told us, how would we know~"

"Right, you bad guy!"

Feeling the cold murderous intent in his girlfriend's eyes, Jiang Chen tactfully began to play dumb. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't know. We don't know."

"You two little guys, you really are... the wife follows the husband." Looking at the two little guys flirting with each other, Ji Zi smiled and shook her head. "Since you don't know, let's listen to what Mr. Gallagher has to say first."

Gallagher: "Hmm? It's my turn? Have you finished interacting so quickly, Pioneers?"

March:"……"

Jiang Chen: "..."

Ji Zi: "..."

"Haha, just a little joke, let's get down to business first."
