The surrounding scenery transformed into an exquisitely decorated, technologically advanced, yet classically elegant train carriage.
Before Qi Bao could even ask "herself" what was going on, her body had already started moving, and she jumped out with energetic and lively movements.
What came into view was that fiery red hair that still warmed her heart, and many familiar faces.
After more than a decade of evolution, Qi Bao, whose brain is clearly half a level smarter than March 7th's, quickly understood the situation.
What exactly is the surprise that 'myself' is talking about?
Join the Star Train.
When the conversation at the Daydream Hotel ended last time, Himeko-sama... this should be called Himeko-neechan.
Himeko invited her.
However, at that time, since Qi Bao was not the owner of the body, she needed to ask Bai Lian's opinion, so she delayed by saying she would think about it.
It now appears that 'the other self' has successfully joined the Star Train.
In other words, I will not only be able to act together with my beloved sister Himeko after a long time.
You can also ride this magical train, travel through the universe, go on adventures, and see countless new and wonderful worlds!
Qi Bao's heart was instantly overwhelmed with joy.
You should know that back in the solar system, she had been a recluse on the moon for quite some time.
She was originally a lively person, and she stayed alone on the moon to allow the Honkai to gently embrace humanity, thus giving Earth's civilization enough time to develop.
Qi Bao never complained about or hated her mission; it was her choice and her responsibility.
But staying cooped up on the monotonous moon for too long can get a bit stifling.
Occasionally using my consciousness to take a virtual tour of Earth is hardly enough to satisfy my thirst for knowledge.
But in this parallel world, things are completely different.
Finally, I don't have to sleep in jail anymore!
That feeling is like a high school senior who starts morning reading at 5 a.m. and finishes evening self-study at 10:20 p.m., returning to school after enduring the hellish college entrance examination.
My mindset has changed, and I feel much more relaxed.
Finally, I can play anywhere without any worries!
They even dared to go up and mess with the bald head of the teaching department!
[Mr. Walter? Wait, what's he doing here!?]
However, when Qi Bao caught sight of the bespectacled, brown-haired man at the back of the crowd through Bai Lian's gaze, her surging joy was instantly paused, turning into immense astonishment.
Moreover, Walter's expression was strange.
Like a skull lying quietly in the sunlight, with a peaceful expression of death.
【Eh? You know Mr. Walter?】
Bai Lian displayed just the right amount of surprise.
Prior to this, in order to avoid trouble and to prevent her fabricated identity from having loopholes, she had always deliberately avoided contacting Walter when it came to Qibao.
Qi Bao didn't notice Lao Yang's presence.
Now that Bai Lian has become more familiar with the train crew, having Qi Bao interact with them again will explain many details.
Mastering every detail on stage is key to a successful performance.
【Of course! It's more than just knowing him. Mr. Welt is the leader of Anti-Entropy, Bronya's senior. Don't you know him? ...Oh right, you're only 16 this year.】
Qi Bao suddenly remembered that she didn't know Walter when she was 16 years old.
No wonder even Dad couldn't get in touch with Mr. Walter during these past few Chinese New Year holidays...
As the Herrscher of the End, Qi Bao, who had grown up, quickly accepted the situation and sighed with a complex and subtle tone.
[So he ended up in a parallel universe... No wonder Dr. Tesla couldn't find him even after digging three feet into the ground.]
[Tsk tsk, when Mr. Walter goes back someday... he's probably in for a rough time~]
[Let me tell you, during the first Spring Festival, Dr. Tesla grabbed my dad by the collar and demanded to know where Mr. Walter was. He was quite ruthless.]
Because it was "herself," Qi Bao spoke candidly about some of her embarrassing past experiences.
As for why Siegfried was pressed for answers?
Siegfried, the famous slacker of Destiny, and Walter, the leader of Anti-Entropy, who also has a history of slacking off, are well-known drinking buddies in their small circle.
Walter has been away from home for a long time, so who else should Tesla contact if not him?
【……oh!】
Regardless of the size of the story, Bai Lian has a great interest in any dark history, listening with great interest, while outwardly displaying paramecium-like curiosity and surprise.
Do you want to explain this to him clearly?
Bai Lian asked this question in her mind as if nothing was wrong, but in reality, the multi-core processor was spinning rapidly.
They are considering various possible development paths and solutions.
【Um……】
Qi Bao rested her delicate chin on her hand and pondered.
Let me think about it.
He explained to Walter that he could act as a bridge for information exchange between the two worlds, reassuring the anxious and angry Dr. Tesla so that he could relay messages to the two of them.
However, this would expose Kiana's situation.
This matter is Bai Lian's secret, and revealing it completely could cause a lot of embarrassing situations and blunders.
Just like Qibao.
Anyway, she absolutely didn't want Qiong to know that the girl moaning and groaning beneath him was her several times... It was all Bai Lian's fault for giving her control of her body when she was at her peak.
The club is dead!
Very serious consequences!
Judging from her own experience, Qi Bao felt that this matter should absolutely not be publicized.
How about this?
Qi Bao quickly made a decision.
[We'll find an opportunity later to confront Mr. Walter privately, explain the whole story to him, and ask him to keep it a secret. What do you think?]
Mr. Walter is still very tight-lipped.
Since it wasn't just a matter for her, Qi Bao had to consider Bai Lian's thoughts.
This way, I can avoid the secret being exposed to everyone, and I can also get in touch with Mr. Walter.
Qi Bao's voice is very pleasant.
If Bai Lian's voice is youthful and energetic, then Qi Bao's voice is a return to simplicity, refined by time, now a gentle and graceful wife and young woman, yet still lively.
It has a subtle, gentle charm.
【Okay, okay! Let's do it that way!】
Overflowing with youthful energy and playfulness, Bai Lian readily agreed on the surface, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.
As expected of the understanding and mature Qi Bao, she is very considerate.
If Qi Bao chooses to completely reveal her true colors to everyone, it will be really difficult to manage Qi Yana's character.
It's possible to reveal a flaw, and if there's a flaw, a clever person might follow the clues and uncover the truth.
If his true relationship with the woman were discovered...
The consequences would be a hundred times more brutal than any hellish scene.
If you put yourself in his shoes, you'll know how shameful it is. You were tricked by Qiong into having sex with him... and so on, and you even clumsily acted out 'Qiong himself'.
That would be an unprecedented and extreme form of social death!
To avoid their ultimate social death, the victims will definitely take the initiative and eliminate the culprit that caused their ultimate social death.
Crush his bones and scatter his ashes!
Just thinking about that scene sent chills down Qiong's spine.
Fortunately, she still had a slight edge!
Hehe ~
Just as Bai Lian and Qi Bao were communicating in their private channel, the welcome ceremony on the train came to an end.
"Ah Qiong, what's that little surprise you were talking about?"
On March 7th, he couldn't wait to peek out and ask.
"I also have a new person who wants to join the group. We've met once before."
Qiong coughed lightly and clapped his hands.
"There are newcomers?"
"There are more experts?"
Not only March 7th, but everyone except Himeko was surprised.
As for Himeko, Sora has already spoken to her about it.
"Hey, here's the question~"
With a sudden change in tone, Qiong seemed to transform into a news anchor, speaking with intonation and rhythm.
"Who is this nameless traveler, whose breathtaking beauty makes even the stars pale in comparison, who is he who is about to board the train and embark on an adventure through the stars?"
"That's right, it's me!" ×2
Sounds overlapping each other.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Xing had stood up at some point, and under the soft blue starlight projected through the viewing window, she struck a graceful and dignified pose, one hand elegantly placed on her chest, like Venus under the moon.
And the other one.
With a soft whooshing sound, a figure riding a broom glided gracefully from the back carriage and hovered in front of everyone.
The newcomer lightly leaped off the broom, the hem of the magic robe fluttering up to reveal two slender, ivory-smooth legs that seemed to gleam faintly under the light.
She raised her hand to adjust the iconic pointed magic hat on her head, revealing a delicate face with gray hair and blue eyes, adorned with a sweet smile.
"Caster?"
"Miss Elena?"
Everyone surely remembers this gray-haired, blue-eyed witch.
After all, the Black Tower was summoned under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Moreover, the magical transformation into human form was also very impressive.
"Weren't you taken to the space station by Lady Black Tower for research?"
Asking questions on the seventh day of the third month.
"That's true."
Elena gracefully performed a witch's bow.
"I need to assist the Master's research project, but..."
"She's been interested in a lot of projects lately, and I just need to go back to the Black Tower Space Station periodically to help her. The rest of the time... well, that's my precious personal time!"
"As for me, I love traveling everywhere. I was originally enjoying a pleasant world tour on my planet."
Elena continued in her clear and sweet voice:
"The concept of the Star Train is so appealing to me! So, may I join?"
"of course can."
Ji Zi nodded gently.
