Chapter 209: Death of a Mockingbird

As the gold sand gently pushed away the dreamy bubble covering the Dreaming Pool, the remains of the robin slowly appeared in front of everyone's astonished eyes.

She lay quietly in the pool, and the lingering glow of dreams seemed to still remain on her feathers. However, on her chest, a shocking purple knife scar was clearly visible, like the most unnecessary crack in the night sky, which deeply hurt everyone's heart.

When Xing witnessed this scene, her pupils suddenly shrank, filled with disbelief and grief. She could not understand why such a peaceful and beautiful existence would suffer such a cruel fate.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only the surging waves in my heart.

Then, as a gentle and sad ripple spread out in the dream pool, the shape of the robin began to gradually become blurred under the wrapping of the dream bubble, and finally turned into starlight and dissipated into the invisible, leaving only the purple scar that would be difficult to erase in everyone's heart for a long time.

Xing stood there, looking empty-eyed at the place where the robin disappeared, with mixed feelings in her heart. She slowly stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to grab something, but she could only touch the cold air and scattered fragments of the dream bubble.

Lin Yu and Liu Ying on the side were also silent, their faces were also full of shock, and there was an indescribable heaviness in the air.

"How...how is this possible?" Xing finally spoke, her voice trembling, "Why is she...why is she here? And why did she encounter such misfortune?"

After hearing Xing's question, Sha Jin also gave an explanation.

"Ah, my friend, when I saw this scene, my expression was not much worse than yours. You are not mistaken, it is her, the famous singer "Mockingbird"."

"Oh, by the way, let me make it clear to you that this has nothing to do with me. I'm just an unlucky guy who ran into the scene. My family can testify to this. If you don't believe me, just ask someone from the Hound family. They hate me and the company, so they will never lie." Sha Jin waved his hand to indicate that he did not do it.

"This is not the crime scene either. What I am showing you is a simple light cone presentation technology of a "memory". It is authorized by Yiting and owned by the company."

"At this point, do you still think that the 'Sea Patrolman' is an outsider? Pinocchio has solemnly promised that in the beautiful dream woven by the family, the safety of every guest will be guaranteed, and those in distress will be forcibly awakened and returned to reality safely."

"But what confidence do they have to say this? Because behind this promise is the blessing of "harmony"... The dream builders of the family connected their thoughts together and built an unbreakable security line of defense."

"And breaking through this line of defense and creating "death" in dreams without the family's permission, even the Rememberer can't do it, who can do it? My friend, it can only be her, the woman who calls herself the Sea Ranger... an imposter who concealed her true identity. The death of the "envoy" Afrit is a foregone conclusion, and the robin... her miserable condition is right in front of us, who will be the next victim?"

"Is it you? Me? Or her?" Sha Jin said, then looked at everyone in the room.

"This is really...hard to accept. In this case, I will never trust anyone again..." Xing looked at Sha Jin with a scrutinizing look.

"It's okay. You can make your own judgment. It always takes time to cultivate trust. I am willing to wait. I just hope you can understand that there are undercurrents surrounding the so-called "legacy" Pinocchio, and everyone has ulterior motives."

"Don't stand on the wrong side. If I were you, I would keep a distance from Huang Quan. After all, no matter what, the calculations on the stage are far better than the monsters hiding in the shadows... isn't it?" Sha Jin asked back.

At this time, the black swan also walked into the room.

"But who says there isn't a deeper conspiracy behind the surface calculations?" Black Swan said as she spread out her palms. Some memories appeared in her hands. She seemed to be recalling and enjoying.

"Remember, I thought our deal ended long ago." Shajin said as he looked at the black swan that suddenly appeared.

"Sha Jin is telling the truth. This 'memory' is real, without any distortion or grafting." Black Swan said as he looked at Sha Jin's 'memory'.

"The company is not Yiting. What it can do is very limited... You know this very well." Shajin said.

"Friends, let's not beat around the bush... let me get straight to the point. I want to reach a cooperation with Star Train in my personal capacity. I told you before that I am not interested in the battle for inheritance. I came to Pinoconi just for work. I want to recover some lost properties for the company, you know... the ownership of the "Border Prison." "Sha Jin explained without hiding anything.

"Thanks to the Cancer Star Core of the Ten Thousand Worlds, this thing has long become a bad debt. The company has tried to sit down and talk several times, but the family won't even open the door. You don't know how difficult these people are to deal with. Let's put it this way, they were able to conceal the existence of "death" before, and this time they will definitely be able to cover up the death of the robin."

"It just turned into bubbles and dissipated silently, and no one knew in the end... This is unfair, right? So friend, I need your help." Shajin looked at Xing.

"What help do you want?" Xing asked.

She herself was also wondering what the truth of the matter was..what else was there.

"I have only one goal: the family's gate is a high wall. To push it down, I have to chisel a few holes first. Once a flaw appears, the company will have plenty of means to deal with it. Now, the opportunity has come. As long as we can find out the truth about the "death of the robin", we can give justice to the deceased and at the same time gain bargaining chips. Please invite the family to the table." Sha Jin said, and then glanced at the place where the robin disappeared.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... I have been investigating and making friends in Pinocchio all for this moment. This bad news is extremely unfavorable to the family, so they will definitely spare no effort to prevent outsiders from intervening, especially in the company."

"But I believe there are a few factions that are exceptions. This is why I need you all. The Star Train is well-known, and Tongxie will give you the most fair evaluation. You can find out the truth and uphold justice, and I can use this to complete the company's mission... This is called a win-win situation."

"How about it? What do you think?" Sha Jin suggested.

"You want us to take advantage of our family's trust?" Xing frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, you might as well go back to your companions and talk to them. The navigator is a smart person. She must understand the value of this deal. Here, my contact information. Contact me when you have a conclusion."

"Oh and... take it! To carry out the investigation, you need to have some spare money, so don't be polite!" Sha Jin took out 50,000 credit points and placed them on the table next to him.

"See you later, friends. I am really looking forward to uncovering the truth about death with you all."

After saying this, Shajin went away on his own. He really didn't mean to force her, but it just felt wrong.
