"It ran away on its own?"
Gallagher was stunned by Yun Fan's words. He wondered if the other party was suddenly teasing him. The thing inside the memory bubble ran away on its own—this sounded far too absurd.
Gallagher thought so in his heart. The idea that Yun Fan was making fun of him flashed by.
But soon, he denied this thought. The guy from the Astral Express before him was not only a Nameless but also an Emanator of the Path of Causality. Perhaps because of this, he could see things that Gallagher could not imagine.
"This is going to be troublesome. The thing inside the memory bubble ran away on its own. Mr. Yun Fan, can you find where that thing is?"
Gallagher scratched his hair irritably. A trace of impatience appeared on his slovenly and tired face.
"No need."
Yun Fan shook his head gently, gazing at the memory bubble in Mikhail's hand, then continued.
"Since the memory bubble is Mikhail's legacy, I believe that even if the thing inside ran away from home, it is destined to meet the Nameless."
After saying this, Yun Fan glanced at Mikhail's hat, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately held back.
The Watchmaker's hat was of great importance. To him, it was just an ordinary hat, but to Stelle, it was one of the key items for her to step onto the Path of Harmony. Better to leave it here.

Penacony… Golden Hour…
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Misha is in danger! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
On the main street of Golden Hour, a character from a cartoon movie suddenly ran out from somewhere. At this moment, it was anxiously scurrying around the road.
Clockie kept making ticking clock sounds in front of one person after another, constantly begging them for help.
However, the passersby treated this very strange scene as if they couldn't see it at all. They walked past Clockie without anyone stopping.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! What should I do? Misha is in danger!"
After trying again and again, Clockie finally drooped dejectedly. The big eyes on its clock face also lowered, looking very disappointed.
And at this moment…
'Poke poke—!'
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Clockie is in a very bad mood right now. Friend, please stop messing around."
'Poke poke—!'
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Do you guys have…"
After being poked twice more, our good partner Clockie finally couldn't hold back. It suddenly turned around, its large clock face showing an "angry" expression.
"Hello there."
Standing before Clockie were two girls. One of them had short gray hair. At this moment, she was holding a baseball bat in her hand. Clearly, she had been the one poking Clockie with it just now.
Beside the gray-haired girl was a cute pink-haired girl. The pink-haired girl had fair skin, a good figure, and a pair of beautiful blue-to-pink gradient eyes as brilliant as the sky. Right now, those pretty eyes were sparkling with curiosity as they stared at Clockie.
"Wait! You can see me?! Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Misha is in danger. Please help me save him."
Only after realizing that the two girls could see him did Clockie excitedly jump up, making urgent ticking alarm clock sounds.
"Misha? You mean the bellboy at the hotel?"
Hearing the name Misha, Stelle was first slightly stunned, then seemed to think of something and asked tentatively.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Partner, you know Misha too? That's great! Please follow me. Misha is in danger!"
After saying this, Clockie waved at March 7th and Stelle, then hurriedly trotted ahead to lead the way.
"March, let's go too."
Stelle nodded slightly and said to March 7th.
"Mhm, okay."
March 7th did not refuse. Although she didn't know the bellboy named Misha, she was very curious about Clockie—this character from an anime.
Although they were currently in Penacony's dream world and it didn't seem strange for a cartoon character like Clockie to appear, still…
The girl had keenly noticed one issue: in this vast Golden Hour, it seemed only she and Stelle could see Clockie, while the passersby treated it as invisible. How could our little March not be curious about that?
The two girls followed Clockie's steps and jogged to the back of a small shop.
At this moment, the back of this small shop seemed very lively.
A group of fierce-looking black-clothed men had formed a encirclement around the back of the shop. Inside the encirclement, a blue-haired boy was looking nervously at the people before him.
The boy held a broom in his hands. Facing the menacing black-clothed men, he looked extremely tense and uneasy.
"You… don't come over!"
Shifting their gaze, beside the blue-haired boy, a purple-haired woman had her hand resting on the scabbard at her waist, her eyes full of displeasure.
"Get out of my way."
The purple-haired woman said indifferently, her gaze cold and seemingly devoid of any emotion.
"Hah?" After hearing the woman's words, the leading black-clothed man—the boss of this group—showed a surprised expression on his face. After glancing at the people around him, he pointed at himself.
"Are you talking to me?"
"No." The purple-haired woman shook her head.
"I thought so. How could you be talking to me…"
"I'm telling all of you to get out of my way."
Black-clothed boss: '...…'
The black-clothed boss fell silent. He was somewhat confused. Did this woman not understand the situation? It was clearly them who had surrounded the two. Where did she get the confidence to speak to him like this?
"…Miss, you seem to be unclear about the current situation. We are the ones who have surrounded you, yet you're acting all high and mighty telling me to get out of the way. Who do you think you are?"
"Jingliu."
"Huh?"
"Jingliu is my name." Jingliu repeated her name once more.
"Jingliu? Never heard of you. Which side are you from?" Hearing the name Jingliu, the black-clothed boss frowned slightly. He had never heard of anyone in the underworld called Jingliu, but since the other party dared to use the name "Jingliu," she probably had some backing.
"Which side am I from? I don't belong to any side. I am a Galaxy…"
Just as Jingliu was about to say she was a Galaxy Ranger, a righteous and imposing voice suddenly came from behind the group of black-clothed men, directly interrupting her next words.
"Stop right there, all of you!"
