Chapter 414 The Wise Man and the Sharpshooter
【The Starry Sky Train Family】
Walter: What happened? Has the family's situation suddenly become tense?
March 7th: Yes, yes, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Star: Eve's mom, she...
March 7th: What happened to Eve?
Star: Something has invaded the Morning Dew Mansion. After rescuing everyone, Eve's mother went inside herself.
Star: The head of the Oak family says she is searching for her own meaning.
Star: Eve's mother's fate is now unknown, and we don't know where she is.
Walter: What??
March 7th: Really?
March 7: Eve is so strong, she should be fine, right?
Walter: Star, where are you now? Let's meet up first and then talk.
Xing: I'm at the Krok Film Park right now. The family just sealed off the Morning Dew Mansion.
Walter: Okay, let's go there now.
................
After putting down her phone, Xing's expression was complicated.
She was very worried about Eve's mother.
From her final expression, she could tell that Eve seemed prepared to fight with everything she had.

The real-life Daydream Hotel.
Danheng led Potio to the hotel reception.
The receptionist, Ellie, spotted the two of them immediately and sensed that something was amiss.
At this hour, how could there possibly be any guests?
She stepped forward and asked, "Welcome to the 'Daydream' Hotel. How may I help you?"
Dan Heng glanced at her. "Hello, we are nameless passengers on the Starry Sky Train and would like to check in."
Ellie frowned slightly, a look of disbelief on her face. "The Star Train? But before..."
“Yes, my companions have already checked in. My name is Danheng, and my information should be in the hotel's system,” Danheng replied.
Ellie suddenly realized, "I see. But your partner said your itinerary had changed and you couldn't check in."
Potio said nonchalantly, "Ha! The plan has changed again."
Ellie looked at Portio and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
“I am a newcomer to the Star Train, an unknown passenger named ‘Pam’,” Potio said without hesitation.
Danheng coughed awkwardly twice. "He's my companion. We replied to the family's invitation before he boarded the train. So there shouldn't be any record of him in the system. Is there any way to make an exception?"
"Oh! Among the few anonymous guests who have already checked in, it seems two are in the same situation. It appears that more and more people are embarking on 'exploration' lately."
“Yes, it’s no secret in the galaxy that the Star Train has restarted, so many people who aspire to explore have boarded the train,” Dan Heng replied cautiously.
Ellie thought for a moment, "Since there's precedent, it should be fine in principle. Please allow me to contact your companions—"
Having suffered a loss because of the previous incident involving Director Eve, Ellie was being extremely cautious this time.
As the communicator beeped, Ellie looked somewhat anxious.
"Uh, I'm sorry. You two, I seem to be unable to contact the guests of the Star Train."
"What does it mean if we can't get in touch with them?" Dan Heng became worried.
"I'm very sorry, this is the first time I've encountered this situation. However, the system shows that the guests are still in a dream." Ellie immediately bowed and apologized.
Potio made a suggestion, "How about this, you give me a room number, and we'll go check it out."
“I’m afraid that won’t work. I can only provide the guests with their personal information after I have confirmed their identities,” Ellie shook her head.
"Then just pick any one—Walter, forcibly wake him up, won't that work?"
"That won't work either. Forced wake-up has strict usage rules and cannot be done arbitrarily."
"This won't work, that won't work, what exactly do you want? You want us two to sleep on the floor at the front desk, right?" Potio became anxious.
"Please be patient. We need to contact your companions to confirm your identities..." Ellie immediately reassured them.
"But what you just said is that we need to verify our identities before we can contact our companions," Danheng asked.
“That’s true.” Ellie’s gaze drifted to the side, avoiding Dan Heng’s eyes.
Potio slammed his fist on the table. "Damn it, stop creating this bureaucratic dead end! Little girl, I'm not targeting you, but if you can handle this, then help us. If you can't, then find someone who can, okay?"
"Don't turn your head away, baby! Look into my eyes!"
"Please calm down, gentlemen! I remember that it was Mr. Sunday, the head of the Oak family, who personally handled this matter. Please wait a moment, I will contact him right away."
“She probably didn’t mean to make things difficult for us; she just genuinely didn’t know what to do.” Danheng took Potio’s hand.
“This is not a good situation. You tried it on the train just now too, they really didn’t reply to your messages,” Potio said.
Danheng sighed. "There are some things that are bothering me, so I'll leave for a while. You can wait here for that lady."
"Go, but come back quickly," Potio waved his hand.
Even after Danheng left, Potio still couldn't stay idle.
"Waiting like this isn't a solution. Let's try to get some information out of his darling."
For a long time, Potio's gaze was fixed on a pair of travelers.
"Hey guys, are you all here for the Harmonious Music Festival?" Potio leaned closer.
The man shook his head. "I didn't come here specifically for this! I just happened to be here. Actually, I don't really know what it's for, but I heard it's very lively."
The woman beside her scoffed, "Heh heh, that's nothing out of the ordinary in Yharnamia! The birthday party my father threw for me back then was no less grand than this Harmonious Music Ceremony."
Jeno scoffed, "Stop bragging! The Harmonious Music Festival is a grand event held only once every Amber Era. Its cost is incomparable to your birthday celebration."
“That’s not right. How do you know she doesn’t only have one birthday in the Amber Period?” Portio retorted.
"No, that's right! I'm just a voice from the Amber Era!" the woman said, forcing herself to speak.
"Oh, my old monster, how old are you this year?" the man asked sarcastically.
"What's it to you? Don't you know a woman's age is a secret?" the woman retorted angrily.
Potio interrupted them, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you heard? Something seemed to have happened in the dream... Do you have any news?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? You're not going to ruin the Harmonious Music Ceremony, are you? No way, I've been looking forward to this for so long!" the man asked doubtfully.
"Look at how anxious you are. Don't you understand? With such a large event about to open, there's bound to be a lot of rumors. Don't worry, if anything happens, the family will be more anxious than we are," the woman said confidently.
"Oh! That's good! I came all the way here to join in the celebration, just in case something went wrong!"
Potio already knew that these two belonged to the little baby, and there was no useful information at all.
"Wait, that looks like a security guard..."
In the blink of an eye, Potio set his sights on someone else.
