Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 163 A Double Dream? No, no, it's a Triple Dream! The Great Black Tower arrives at the scene.
"It seems we could have solved this even without your presence." A very familiar voice came from that moment.

It is Ye Tianyu, but it is not only Ye Tianyu.

Almost everyone who got off the bus to explore was here.

Why almost?

Because there are still a few people among them who are not here.

For example, Liu Ying, Xiao Shi's family, and Jiang Tianxing's family.

The response from the public was...

Liu Ying left and returned to the train on her own. Xiao Shi and Naxi Da were a bit exhausted, so they also went back.

Oh, and there's one more person who's not here either...

It was Gongsun Ming who had just left the team with them.

Kiana inquired about Gongsun Ming's whereabouts.

They eventually learned that someone else was investigating and returning some items at the tavern.

He will catch up with the train when it departs.

Kiana also wanted to go to the tavern, but was stopped by the senior members of the train.

Just kidding. If Kiana had actually been drinking there, the fool would have been the one to get into trouble, and the train would have been the one to pay for the damages.

Moreover, Kiana is simple-minded and easily deceived by fools.

Therefore, the parents strongly disagreed with Kiana going.

They even explicitly forbade Xinghe from going there on March 7th.

Of course, Bronya and Seele are also there, but they are both quite well-behaved and unlikely to be the type to go to the tavern for drinks.

(No way, Siberians don't drink alcohol??? Are you kidding me? That's as ridiculous as someone who's been in the desert all day without water refusing a bottle of water!)

Ultimately, the individuals who acted as witnesses and mediators brought the contract between the company and the family to a relatively amicable conclusion.

This concludes our trip to Pinocchio.

It's wonderful that no one was injured... wonderful... wonderful...

The matter was over, but Xing still felt that he had made a wrong move.

in the end…

Is something missing?
I don't think so.

Xing felt there was still a slight sense of unease about this place.

But I still don't understand.

That slight sense of incongruity…

What exactly is it?
“Ah… I remember now. Dan Heng…” Xing looked at Dan Heng but saw that the other party’s current appearance was the Dan Heng from before, not the Dan Heng in his Dragon Lord form.

Assuming what happened in the previous dream was true, then Danheng should have gotten off the bus with a cowboy to help.

I need to confirm this...

"Danheng, I have something to ask you." Xing found Danheng, who was discussing their next destination with the others.

"What's the matter?" Dan Heng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Did you get off the bus just now?" Xing asked.

"No, there are other people on the train who need protection, so I can't just get off," Dan Heng explained.

"Are you sure?" Xing asked curiously.

“Yes, I’m quite sure. You can ask Deputy Captain Vervi; she knows very well,” Dan Heng said.

"That's settled then. Our next stop is Mikhail's hometown—Ocean Star, Lusaka," Himeko said.

Although everything seemed normal, Xing still sensed something was amiss…

"Oh? It seems there's someone here who realizes something's not right here. Truly worthy of being able to contain a star core." A completely emotionless voice spoke at this moment. "Hmm...or perhaps, your sensitive memory-matter constitution helped you?"

Xing listened to the voice strangely, feeling like she had heard it somewhere before.
Hmm... It sounds a bit like the voice of the Black Tower people?
No… the voice seemed more mature.

She's a mature, sophisticated woman.

Memory sensitivity…

"I see! Now I know why!" Xing finally realized the truth...

This is not reality, but a dream.

Because the concentration of memory substances here is too high, Xing has been feeling dizzy all the time.

Upon realizing that, Hoshi's vision shattered as if a lens had broken.

The falsehood shattered completely, revealing the owner of the words he had heard.

A mature woman with light chestnut-gray hair, a pointed head, and dressed in a magical girl outfit.

"Oh! It's the mature version of Black Tower!" Xing blurted out.

"Call it whatever you want, the mature Black Tower, the Magic Black Tower, or the Great Black Tower," the Great Black Tower said.

"Wait, what brings you here? I heard you're the Commander, right? Is there something about Pinocchio that interests you?" Xing asked repeatedly.

“Simple. There’s an experiment here to resurrect a star god. I found it interesting, so I came to take a look,” the Great Black Tower explained. “But what intrigues me even more now is you. A body with four intersecting destinies and a star core, and the second person to realize on their own that everything just now was a dream. You’ve piqued my interest even more.”

"Four destinies intersecting... Is that strange?" Xing asked rhetorically.

"Hehe... It seems you're unaware of what happens when four destinies converge. Never mind, there's still time to explain. A normal person can only withstand the impact of one type of destiny energy at most. Unless the body is strengthened through training or genetic modification to gain a larger capacity, it will only explode and die. This is because the energies between destinies can also influence each other and cause conflicts; the more destinies, the greater the conflict. It's truly a miracle that the destiny energies within you can coexist harmoniously," the Great Black Tower explained.

"That's interesting. It was the Star Core that saved your life. The life force energy within your body was absorbed and transformed by the Star Core, becoming of the same origin, which is why you didn't explode and die." The Great Black Tower discovered the reason with a slight microscopic examination.

“My master also had many fates! And I heard he was at the level of multiple Commanders. But he didn’t explode either?” Xing asked rhetorically.

"Oh? You mean Tianyu, right? Forget about him. His body is completely unreasonable. The life energy within him is suppressed and dispersed by some unknown force. It's impossible for any collision of life energy to cause his body to explode and die." Daheita said, having heard that Xing's master probably knew who he was referring to.

"Do you know him?" Xing asked, becoming curious about the relationship between Ye Tianyu and the Great Black Tower.

"Speaking of him, when are you planning to test the simulated universe? The new DLC was recently updated." Daheita then remembered the request he had made to someone before. To be honest, Daheita himself was a little embarrassed. Ever since Ye Tianyu gave her a core, he had been studying cores and hadn't paid attention to the simulated universe for too long.

However, it didn't make much difference to her, since the current simulated universe had very complete information about the Star Gods.

What I'm trying to do right now is simply to recreate Rupert from The Genius Club #27.

So they started working on a new DLC, Gold and Machinery.

The purpose was to recruit more geniuses and prepare to do something big.

However, their research was interrupted before it even began by the 'gift' sent by Ye Tianyu.

Moreover, she heard a rumor that Screws was going to start a new research project.

Similar to a simulated universe, but it seems to be primarily used to study the concept of 'human'.

But now…

We no longer lack manpower or talent.

She has partnered with May, Mebius, and Vervière to work together on a simulated universe project.

Moreover, the Great Black Tower is very interested in that world…

A civilization that rarely produces three geniuses has emerged.

A genius who could be noticed by the wise and discerning.

That world is definitely not simple...

Moreover, they are not only three geniuses, but also three commander-level combatants.

And countless...

A warrior comparable to a high-ranking Destiny Walker.

　Wow, it's reached 1000 favorites! It's been about a year, hasn't it? I never imagined this book would achieve such success.
