Holy crap!
Xinghejing stumbled, his hand trembled, and the score that could have surpassed March 7th's was now frozen.
"Qiongzai!"
With a dark expression, Xing handed the game ring to Little Duckling, then dashed up to the second floor with her long white legs, abruptly pulled open the soundproof curtain, and prepared to pounce on it.
"Huh? What about people?"
However, her movements suddenly stopped, and there was not a single person on the large bed in the room, which could easily accommodate four people.
Xingmeng's golden eyes sharpened.
Suppressing the empathic feedback from her body, Xing immediately began a thorough search.
The room of the Haunted Rabbit was empty.
Greta and the two Seeles are still painting and modeling.
Who exactly is Qiongzai having a deep conversation with?
Xing stood in the empty train carriage corridor, looking bewildered, like a lost husky.
Could it be the Black Tower Doll?
No, this feeling, this scale, and this texture definitely can't be the small hills of a doll.
It's big and moist.
Use the process of elimination.
There are very few trains with such strategic reserves now.
Black Swan and Himeko.
She was familiar with Celia and Leura, but this wasn't the feeling she had.
I think I just saw the black swan giving Greta a divination in the observation car.
Could it be Himeko?
The moment the guess popped up, Xing gasped sharply.
When did this happen?
How could she not know?
Is Qiongzai really that brave?
Hoshi sneaked into Himeko's room, pressing his ear against the cold metal door, trying to catch the slightest sound.
Unfortunately, the Starry Sky Train has top-notch soundproofing technology, so you can't hear a sound at all.
She swallowed hard, her eyes filled with struggle, curiosity, and a strange excitement.
In the end, he still couldn't muster the courage to knock on the door. Enduring the lingering sense of shared experience, he staggered back upstairs with a distorted expression.
When Xing suddenly went crazy and then suddenly became listless, the neighbors downstairs just gave her knowing looks, like, "Oh, she's doing it again."
After all, the performance art of the Star Core is part of the daily scenery of trains.
Even Qi Bao and Elena have started to get used to it.
After Qiong gave Raven a sufficient future and thoughtfully sent her directly to Yalilo VI through the Anywhere Door, she leisurely returned to the train.
Second floor, bathroom.
Xing lay naked in a large bathtub that could hold four or five people, with several rubber ducks floating on the surface.
She tilted her head back, a blush and a hint of languor still lingering on her pretty face.
What kind of expression is that?
As she stepped into the bathroom, Qiong felt like Sakurajima ants were crawling all over her as she was stared at by Hoshino's gaze, which contained a mixture of envy, disdain, indifference, and confusion.
Xing hummed twice, her fingers forming delicate pinkies, and said in a seductive, melancholic tone,
"I know Qiongzai understands his sister's thoughts, but he insists on stating them all clearly. He's so shameless~"
"Sigh~ I'm just too thin-skinned, so I deserve to be teased by Qiongzai all the time. How can I complain about others?"
"hiss……"
Qiong was so agitated by the intricate and unpredictable tone that his hair stood on end and goosebumps covered his skin.
"Hey hey hey~ what's going on?"
Xing pinched her pinky finger, her tone still melancholy.
"Stop, stop, stop! Sister, I was wrong!"
Unable to bear this mental pollution any longer, Qiong immediately raised her hands in a standard French military salute, her expression one of extreme pain.
"Hum~"
Xing snorted, stood up, straightened her chest and raised her head, revealing a brand new smile on her face, showing off her neat and white teeth, and her voice became lively and cheerful.
"The ultimate weapon: sweet, delicious, and refreshingly juicy!"
She spun around lightly, raising her right hand to make a gun gesture, aiming at Qiong's heart. She tilted her head playfully to the side, her right eye squeezing out cutely, and uttered a crisp onomatopoeic word.
"biu~!"
"Come, let me pierce your heart!"
cute?
With the added touch of misty water vapor and open and honest interaction, it's absolutely adorable!
But Qiong felt her stomach churning.
Qiong: "..."
I can't take it anymore!
He pounced on it, physically shutting the Star Core Spirit's mouth to prevent it from continuing to disgust people.
Then, well, due to the absolute difference in physical fitness, he was easily pushed back into the water by Xing.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"
Qiong was splashing around wildly in the bathtub.
"Hehe, Qiongzai, accept your punishment!"
Xing looked down at the drenched chicken in the water and sat down on Qiong's face without giving her a chance to resist.
"I told you not to take me with you!"
……
The joyful yet chaotic, warm yet playful daily life continues.
In their cheerful and heartwarming daily lives, Qi Bao and Elena have almost completely integrated into the magical family of the train crew.
On the ninth day, the train made a jump and left the Asdna system.
Entering the unknown star field given by the Black Swan, we headed towards Onfaros.
The train traveled for six days in the silent depths of space, exceeding the speed of light.
The coordinates of Onphalus.
Arrived.
"Where is Onpharos?"
In the observation car, Qi Bao stood on the edge of the porthole, her smooth forehead pressed against the window wall, her gaze searching for the universe.
But the planet that should have been obvious was nowhere to be seen.
Outside the window, there seemed to be only a vast and deep universe.
"Why is there nothing here?"
Elena, who had been full of anticipation for the pioneering journey, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Could it be that the position is wrong?"
She turned her head to look at the woman who was wearing a purple veil.
Not only Elena, but the other friends also looked at the black swan.
"Just a moment please……"
The black swan gracefully bowed, its figure vanishing like smoke, and the next moment it appeared in the cold vacuum of space outside the train.
As a memetic life form, she requires no protection and can move freely in the universe.
The passengers on the train watched as the black swan circled the starry sky, then gently raised a delicate hand covered by a silk glove.
It was as if a veil covering the universe had been lifted.
"The answer lies in the starry sky."
Beneath the curtain, a dazzling and brilliant light shone forth.
Onphalus appeared.
"The light is so blinding."
Qi Bao raised her hand to shield her eyes.
"What is this? Is this also a planet? There are celestial bodies like this?"
Elena, from a fantasy world, slightly parted her lips.
Isn't the world supposed to be spherical?
Why are there strip-shaped ones?
"My God, Onpharos, it's an 8!"
The star core performs consistently.
"What 8? That's a Möbius strip, isn't it?"
Haitu's Commentary.
"As you can see, Onpharos is shrouded in a chaotic mass of matter, making it difficult to observe from the outside. Ordinary interstellar travelers cannot detect its existence, let alone pass by or reach it."
The silhouette of a black swan appeared inside the carriage.
"It lies hidden beneath the light of [knowledge] and [memory]. This white band of light that wraps around Onphalus is the result of the intertwining of three destinies."
What is the third destiny?
The little duckling asked.
"It's a pity."
The black swan shook its head. "I don't know what the third destiny is either."
"Only you pioneers can delve into the heart of the vortex and see its true form."
"That being said, there is still too little information."
Dan Heng frowned: "The more practical problem is that we can't select a landing site right now. What awaits us might be the ocean, a vacuum zone without oxygen, or even volcanic lava..."
"Wait, where's Ah Qi?"
Qiong felt very uncomfortable not hearing the familiar sarcastic remarks, and found that the pink-haired girl who was most excited and should have been the most active in theory was not there.
"She just said she was going back to her room to get her camera so she could take pictures of Onphalus from the sky."
Xing scratched her head: "Why does it take so long to get a camera?"
"Go and have a look."
Qiong set off first, followed closely by the others.
A little while later, in the room on March 7th.
"Little March, are you really alright?"
Listless, March 7th sat on the edge of the bed, with Sora supporting the pink-haired girl who looked extremely weak, as if covered in a blanket. Himeko's face was full of worry.
"Are you sick?"
