Hiding in the corner, one on the left and the other on the right, Xing and Morien watched Welt striding toward the figure with long purple hair in front of them.

And at the door of Dreamscape Sales Store.

Welt held a cane and stepped forward quickly, approaching the purple figure in front of him.

The tall figure had his back to Welt, holding a peach, and stepped forward in confusion while raising his hand to take a bite.

Her expression looked a little dazed, as if she was lost.

"I say, you are going a little too far."

"Forget it once or twice. Do you really want to entertain my old friend?"

Welt's voice came from behind Acheron, and there was uncontrollable anger in the voice.

Are you playing Mei this time?

It's really too much!

Acheron turned around blankly and looked at the uncle who was looking at him with an angry face, not understanding what he was talking about.

However, looking at Acheron's current expression, Welt became even more angry.

Otto and Kevin can be considered his enemies. He may not care if they are used for entertainment, but Mei is his student and his comrade-in-arms.

Although this person did not die like the first two, and was not considered a consumer death, it still made Welt feel uncomfortable.

He is a person who values friendship very much.

Welt raised the crutch in his hand and chopped it down hard with the tip.

The invisible gravity field spread instantly.

The gravity of this area was increased several times in an instant.

The crutch in Welt's hand is a black hole. However, he will not really hurt Fool in front of him. He just wants to teach him a lesson, so he controls the intensity.

He just wants----

As long as----

Um----

Looking at the motionless Acheron and Welt in front of him, his eyes became a little solemn behind his glasses.

This Fool has some skills!

So, he began to increase the output of gravity!

Just need----

Xing clenched his fists excitedly and muttered something.

"Look, Uncle Yang A is up!"

"Um, Uncle Yang was subdued----"

"Wow! Uncle Yang apologized."

Welt leaned on crutches, lowered his head, and apologized sincerely.

"I'm sorry, madam. My name is Welt·Yang, and I am a member of Astral Express."

"I'm sorry for my previous behavior----"

"I accidentally mistook you for a Masked Fools. I'm so offended just now. Please forgive me."

Acheron in front of him nodded, without seeming to have any major changes in his demeanor.

I also had time to take another bite of the peach in my hand.

"I heard that a group of Masked Fools were causing trouble in the streets and disturbing Order, so I wanted to come and take a look." She explained why she appeared here.

"A gentleman with blue hair brought me here."

"Blue hair----" Welt repeated the adjective.

"I probably know who it is. I'm afraid he is the Masked Fools I call him."

Welt explained to Acheron.

Among the Masked Fools who tried to hold him back before, there was such a blue-haired and elegant Fool.

Acheron was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

"I see, I understand."

The two seemed to have reached a reconciliation.

It is understandable. After all, Welt only came forward with the mentality of "teaching the other party a lesson" at first, and Acheron's counterattack was also within the scope of "legitimate defense". There was no irreconcilable conflict between the two.

And----

Looking at Acheron's face, Welt still felt a little sad after all.

Sure enough, he knew that Masked Fools's trick couldn't just be to deceive him by pretending to be his acquaintance. The expression he was showing now was probably what those Fool really wanted to see.

Star not far away looked at this scene and turned to look at Morien.

"Should we run?"

"I feel like if I don't run away, I won't be able to escape for a while."

she said quietly.

Morien took back his head, nodded and said, "Indeed, run away quickly."

After that, the two of them walked away quietly.

After leaving the square, the two gradually moved faster, no longer sneaking around, and trotted forward, escaping from Welt's perception range.

After leaving there, the corners of Morien's mouth gradually rose, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha."

This is really interesting~.

This is the complete plan of Morien.

The first step is to cause Welt to have violent mood swings, so that he will lose his judgment on some things when his mood is unstable.

The second step is to let yourself and Xinglai gradually lower Welt's wariness.

He knows that he will definitely not be able to act like Otto, and he knows even more clearly that the star can at best scare Welt when he first appears.

But it doesn't matter, that's enough.

By making him subconsciously think that "all those pretending to be his old acquaintances are fakes", Morien's purpose will be achieved.

The next step is to let Sampo find a way to deceive Acheron.

He and Xing are fakes, but it doesn't matter, this Acheron is real.

It is genuine, and I am also genuine Nihility Emanator.

Just as he guessed, Welt's expression was really interesting.

I don't know why, but he always feels that his bad taste has become particularly high recently, and he always wants to have some fun.

"Hahaha."

Morien laughed heartily, and Xing also laughed along with it.

"Looking at you, this must be your first time doing something like this. How do you feel?" Morien closed his mouth, looked at Xing with a smile, and asked.

This time, he still did not speak with his mouth and resumed his previous communication using "Resonance Curse Technique".

However, Xing didn't pay attention to Morien's way of speaking, he just smiled and nodded.

She also found it interesting.

She is considered a "good kid" on Astral Express, but this is her first time teasing her elders.

It feels surprisingly good.

"That's right, you can do more similar things in the future."

Morien gives a thumbs up.

"You are Trailblazer, and a journey should always bring some laughter."

Xing nodded, indicating that he remembered.

Then, looking at Morien who had returned to his original state, Xing asked, "So, is this your original appearance?"

"How can you be sure that this is who I am originally?" Morien asked with his arms crossed and a smile.

He smiled and changed back to Otto.

"What if this is who I am?"

"But when you spoke to Uncle Yang, you spoke with your mouth," Xing shook his head and said, "But you shouldn't be used to speaking with your mouth."

Because Otto speaks with his mouth, and Morien is more accustomed to not using his mouth. Therefore, it can be inferred that Morien's original appearance is not the disguised face of Otto.

"The logic is a bit far-fetched, but it's about the same." Morien smiled and changed back to his original appearance.

This is probably Trailblazer's super intuition.

At this time, the two of them suddenly heard a noise.

"She's running over there, catch her!"

"Don't even think about running away, you stowaway!"

Xing turned around curiously and saw several Hound Family security guards blocking a silver-haired girl in a corner.

It's Firefly.

Just as Morien imagined, Firefly successfully exposed himself and was caught by the Hound Family's security guards at the very right time.

Obviously Morien's behavior delayed Xing for a long time, but Xing still heard the right call at the right time and was aroused to the right interest.

Sure enough, Finality's script will not cause problems just because of Morien's small changes.

Seeing Firefly blocked in the corner, Xing suddenly became interested.

She shouted something like "friendship", "bond", "it is my duty to protect beautiful girls" - these kinds of difficult words rushed up to her.

Morien did not follow him. He watched the show from a distance and saw that Xing was, as expected, recognized as an accomplice of the stowaway. However, this time Gallagher, who was supposed to come to the rescue, did not show up.

Morien looked around and didn't see the brown hair and gray vest that he wanted to see.

It's a little further away----

He glanced sideways, then quickly looked away.

Farther away, Robin stood at the door of the barber shop, watching what was happening here.

Seemingly noticing Morien's gaze, she started talking to the barber shop clerk, pretending that she was just passing by.

While they were thinking, several security guards surrounded the two of them.

There is no Gallagher this time. I don't know how Xing and Firefly will get rid of the security guard.

Morien was watching the show on the sidelines and had no intention of going up to help.

His presence dropped so low that he almost disappeared.

Then he swaggered into the encirclement and took a closer look.

Seeing that the situation on both sides is getting more and more serious, it seems that it is about to get out of control.

Morien suddenly seemed to feel something. He lowered his head and looked at Xing's legs.

There seems to be something in that direction.

There seemed to be a vague shadow there, but Morien couldn't see anything clearly.

But Xing seemed to be able to see it. She lowered her head and started talking to the invisible thing Morien, saying something like "Only straightforward, innocent, childlike children can see it——".

Oh? Is it Clockie?

Morien looked in that direction and probably knew what was coming.

I didn't expect to meet him here.

Clockie, one of Penacony, Memetic Lifeforms, claims that only straightforward, innocent and childlike children can see it.

However, it is essentially the manifestation of the former Nameless Mikhail Remembrance, similar to Memosprite. Only those who truly possess the spirit of [Trailblaze] can see it.

Morien can't see it. It seems that he has no potential to be a good person in the galaxy.

What a pity.

Just----

My Poké Ball is vibrating, and there seems to be a rare Pokémon around.

Just when Morien was thinking about how to capture Clockie, Xing lowered his head and exchanged something with the invisible Clockie, then raised his head again and looked at the security guards around him.

I don't know what she did. The mood of these security guards suddenly became low and melancholy. One after another, they came to the corner and squatted down. Several security guards with big shoulders and round waists started to hug each other and started crying.

Sure enough, Clockie found Xing and taught her how to "Clockwork Trick".

However, Morien did not expect that Clockie would come so quickly and take the initiative to find Xing.

It seems that it was no coincidence that he was able to find the star, because the star itself was Pathstrider of [Trailblaze].

This is probably the mutual attraction between Pathstrider.

Just like Stand User.

"Oh, wonderful." Morien applauded, giving applause and praise without hesitation.

This should be Clockwork Trick.

It is an ability given to the star by Clockie.

You can adjust other people's emotions with the help of Memoria in the dream world of Penacony.

It belongs to the power of [Trailblaze].

This is the great power of Super Trailblazer.

He has a stick that can vibrate at high speed, a spear that can be heated, and now he has the ability to control his mind. In the future, he can even activate the time-pausing ability of the Astral Express series and unlock a stick that can change shapes freely.

This is really great.

She is indeed the freest woman in the universe.

Firefly, who was pretending not to recognize Xing and saying thank you to Xing, was startled by the sudden appearance of Morien.

Xing actually accepted the sudden appearance of Morien well.

After all, people often appear next to her out of nowhere.

"How's it going? Aren't you awesome?" Xing proudly put his hands on his hips and looked at Morien.

As expected of her.

"Awesome." Morien gave a thumbs up.

"This move is called Clockwork Trick, right?" Morien said with a smile, "I heard what you said when you explained it to her."

"That's right," Xing nodded, "Clockwork Trick."

Morien looked at Xing's legs.

"This is Clockie?"

"You can also see him? I didn't expect you to be so childlike." Xing looked at Morien in shock.

"No, I can't see it." Morien shook his head, "I can probably only see a vague shadow, not the real Clockie."

"It seems that I have passed the age of true innocence.

"I was just thinking----"

After a pause, he continued.

"I was just thinking that you must have never seen the real Clockwork Trick." He said to the shadow next to Xing's legs.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Morien could clearly see the shadow jumping.

"He was very unconvinced." Xing acted as the translator and translated to Morien.

"I can see it." Morien nodded with a smile.

"I know a real Clockwork Trick." Morien raised a finger and waved it, "You don't even mean this."

"He said: Tick! Then what do you think is the real Clockwork Trick?"." Xing continued to translate.

"Actually, you don't have to change his oral habit." Morien glanced at Xing in a rather interesting way, and then looked at Clockie again.

"I think your Clockwork Sleight should regard people's emotions as a compass or a clock. The fluctuating clock gives a push to people's emotions and amplifies a certain aspect of emotion, right?" Morien asked in return.

After receiving Xing's affirmative translation, Morien continued.

"Humph, isn't that just opportunistic?"

"The Clockwork Trick I have seen really treats the world as a clock, and the fluctuating hands make time go back to Oldest One, changing what happened in the past, and going against time." Morien took his eyes away from Clockie and looked at the stars again.

"He said he didn't believe it." Xing shook his head.

"Then there's no other way." Morien smiled and spread his hands.

"Um, are you okay?" Xing looked at Firefly on the other side and found that Firefly looked a little nervous for some reason.

"No----nothing----" Firefly forced himself to smile, "I finally got rid of the security guard, I'm a little nervous."

She heard it, wasn't what Morien just said the power of Last King?

This made her more and more nervous, and she began to think about whether Morien should be expelled from Xing.
