Chapter 427: Bengtie x Pinoconi x In Our Time 57
[Misha brought the Clock Boy to Liumeng Reef. The Clock Boy once again asked him doubtfully where he was going next, but this time, his journey would probably stop here.
The Clock Boy was puzzled but still stayed aside obediently, wanting to wait for Misha to rest before setting off again. He couldn't understand what the end meant. He only remembered that Misha once told him that the pioneering journey would never end. He didn't know why Misha had become different from before.
Like Mikael and Gallaher and the other people in the Dream Reef, it was used to following Mikhail, but as Misha said, in the future exploration journey, they could only choose the direction of their own progress. 】
#Doctor: ...The previous scene, and now, from Misha asking the 'navigator' Mikhail where to go, to the people behind asking where 'Mikhail'/'watchmaker' is going...it's like a cycle
#Mikhail: Haha, yes, that's why I said, after going around in circles, I'm back to the beginning.
#Paimon: Ugh...
#三月七: It doesn't matter! Anyway, that's just in the video, the real Mikhail senior is back!
#Jizi: Indeed, although Mikhail-senpai will have to stay in Pinocchio for the time being, we welcome Wumingke home at any time.
#Walter: Yes, if you need help, you can always contact us.
#Qiong: That's right! Galaxy Batman! Ready to go!
#Danheng: Me too.
#Gallah: Tsk, now that these things have been revealed, it won’t take much effort to solve Pinocchio’s troubles... I should... At worst, we can just leave it all to Mikael and the others. Anyway, we still have the bird brother and sister, they can be used as well, as long as brother Bird really thinks it through.
#Sunday:……
#robins: We will definitely not ignore the matter of Pinocchio, seniors, don't worry, just like you said, we can't always rely on our seniors...
#No, wait, what do you mean leave it all to us? What about you? Gallagher?
#Gallah: Ahem, I, of course, have things I need to do!
#Come on, you definitely want to run away with Mikhail!
#Gallagher: Don't talk nonsense.
#Mikhail: Hahaha
#Mikhail: But the future of Pinocchio will indeed be handed over to you. But before that, we old friends and old rivals should make a thorough explanation to each other.
#Mockingbird: Are you referring to Mr. Gopherwood?
#Not necessarily, maybe he will bring a few of us with him. Tsk, to Mikhail, we are also juniors!
#Gallagher: Hum, Misha and I are the youngest
#Misha: Eh? Yeah!
#Yes, yes, yes! One of you is thirteen years old! And the other is only...how old?
#Gofem: According to the time when he left the dream bubble, Misha should be of negative age. After all, if it weren't for the appearance of the movie theater, he should have been officially "born" when the Starry Sky Train arrived at Pinoconi.
#Misha: ...negative, negative number?
#Mikhail:? How can this be calculated?
#Qiong: I understand! The train finally has a true junior who is younger than me! I am not the youngest!
#Danheng: But if I remember correctly, I said before that Misha has some of Mr. Mikhail's memories.
#Qiong: Humph! If you count Misha's age or seniority according to Mikhail's, then please count mine according to Xinghe's age!
#三月七: ...hiss, come to think of it, how old is the star core inside the dome?
#WhoKnows
[The Clock Boy thought Misha was unhappy and wanted to use the clock trick to make him happy. Mikhail refused, but he also told him the nature of the clock trick.
"Yes, in this dream, it seems to be able to solve all problems. So do you know what the clock trick is?"
As he spoke, the camera shifted to the top of the Golden Hour, and Clock Boy Plaza appeared in the frame, vaguely looking like the front of the Star Train.
Then he tells the Clock Kid, who doesn’t know what the clock trick is: “Everyone gets lost sometimes, undecided, not sure which direction to go.
It exists in this dream and everywhere outside of it.
But don’t be afraid, just as people feel lost, at some point they will make up their minds and make a bold but remarkable decision…
Whether it is calm, joyful, angry, or sad, all they need is a little push, and then they can take a step forward and move towards their own future.
I leave this little power to you, and hope you can bring it to more people...
——This is the trick of the clock, called the will to explore. ”】
#Paimon: Come to think of it, the clock trick is indeed magical!
#Wendy: It looks like the power of spiritual direction?
#Don't you mention it? Isn't it common in novels to see a hypnotist holding a pocket watch while hypnotizing people? Maybe the inspiration came from this. Although the watchmaker is a "compass", he is indeed closely related to watches.
#Mikhail: No, it's not hypnosis. Guess again~
#Elhaisen: Seeing is not necessarily believing, just like the function of clock tricks is not to "directly tamper" with other people's thoughts as you think.
#Zhongli: Indeed, rather than saying it is a direct change, it is more like...
#Doctor: Since Mikhail is here as a proof of his pioneering will, and can also teach it to Qiong, I feel that the clock trick... might be a kind of spiritual development?
#Mikhail: That’s right
#三月七: Hey?! Does that mean that even Wumingke can learn it?
#Dan Heng: ...I feel like you two will cause trouble after learning this.
#Paimon: Wow, it really is!
#Zhongli: Others can only give a push, and only need to give a push. It is still you who make the decision. Similarly, no one has to be responsible for the choices of others.
#Sunday: No need for total control, just a little push…
#Doctor: Yes, because you make your own choices, so you have to bear the consequences yourself.
#Sunday: But these results are not good...
#沙金: I told you that you are nosy! Really... I thought you would finally come to your senses after watching so many videos...
#Sunday: I haven’t completely given up, but still… um…
#robins: My brother still can’t let go
#Admin Q: It’s okay, just watch it slowly, there will be similar plots later.
#沙金: Huh? Who is it?
#Admin Q: Don't worry, these are examples from other worlds. Of course, there is also the original direction of your world line.
#Gold Dust: Oh...
#Traveler: In other words, those people who were tricked by the clock...actually...did what they wanted to do and said what they wanted to say?
#Elhaisen: Isn’t it natural to get off work on time?
