Starry Sky Railway: Start with some fireworks and have some fun

Chapter 168 Arrival at Edo Castle

Qinglan and Hua quietly buried the poor brother and sister without uttering a single word, because Qinglan had sensed through the bracelet that Hua Huo was not in good spirits.

Hanabi stood in front of the brother and sister's graves for a while, seemingly suppressing some emotion, while Aoran gently embraced her.

"Little Firework, it's time for us to set off."

Hanabi sighed, looking at the corpses strewn across the city, her heart no longer able to feel any joy.

“Honey, I…I want to rest for the night, I might…”

Qinglan smiled, then took out a photo from her pocket, which happened to show a simple large tent.

Qinglan tore the photo open, and the tent appeared right in front of them as if in response to a summons.

Then Qinglan found some photos of fruit, tore them open, and fresh fruit appeared in his hands.

"Have one! Luckily, we were well prepared this time. With this 2D camera, we can bring a lot more things."

Hanabi nodded, and she and Aoran went into the tent. Hanabi leaned on Aoran's shoulder and ate the fresh fruit in her hand.

Looking at Edo Star now, it's as if the apocalypse has arrived, as if nothing exists anymore except for ruins.

The destruction of the antimatter legion is utter; they will destroy everything, whether it be humans, plants, animals, or buildings.

Thinking about how her former planet has become like this, Hanabi feels terrible and needs some time to accept this reality.

"Darling, do you think... there are still humans alive on Edo? Could we... be the last ones on this planet...?"

"No, there's still Edo Castle we haven't been to yet. Don't think too much. The most important thing for you right now is to get some rest and get some rest. After all, no one can remain indifferent to something like this happening to their hometown. I'll keep watch tonight, so you should get a good night's sleep!"

After saying that, Qinglan got up and walked out of the tent. Edo Star is very dangerous now, and even Qinglan dares not be careless.

He sat outside the tent, looking at the once bustling city now a scene of devastation, and couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

These guys from the Antimatter Legion are even more ruthless than what he did in Pinocchio! This catastrophe on Edo Planet is practically genocide.

No one was spared, regardless of age or gender.

He had been on Edo planet for a long time now, but he hadn't seen a single living creature. At this moment, he knew he had to stop and give Hanabi enough time to calm down and adjust her state of mind.

After all, if Edo Hoshi were to follow in his footsteps and become as lifeless and devoid of vitality as he was now, Hanabi would likely be unable to withstand such a cruel blow. Thinking of this, he unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Honey, are you outside?"

Suddenly, the sound of fireworks came from inside the tent, and Qinglan immediately spoke up.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll always be here. You get some rest! I'll take care of everything."

However, to Qinglan's surprise, a small hand, as white as snow and as delicate as a flower petal, gently reached out and tightly grasped Qinglan's hand.

"I can't sleep without you by my side. Can I hold your hand to sleep?"

Qinglan smiled and said, "Little Firework, you look like a little baby."

Hanabi paused for a moment, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Yeah! So much has happened these past two days, I haven't had a proper rest. It all felt like a dream, but reality tells me it's all real."

Feeling the warmth from Hanabi's palm, Qinglan reaffirmed his resolve once more: no matter what happens, he will walk with Hanabi.

After a while, the sound of Hanabi falling asleep came from inside the tent. Being able to sleep peacefully on Edo Star, which had been completely turned into wasteland, was now a luxury.

I'm afraid that once they get to Edo, they might not even have time to lie down and rest like this.

.........

After Hanabi slept, she felt very energetic, and her mood seemed to have improved as well.

The two continued to flap their wind wings and flew swiftly towards Edo Star. Perhaps due to the Felix Felicis, they flew freely in the sky without being attacked by the Antimatter Legion, and did not even see a single member of the Antimatter Legion.

When they saw Edo Castle standing in the distance, Hanabi finally felt relieved.

Edo Castle was not destroyed; the people inside were still fighting against the antimatter legion.

Seeing this, Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. He gently patted Hanabi's shoulder and said, "Hanabi, you can breathe a sigh of relief now! At least it's not beyond repair yet. The spark of Edo Star still exists."

"Ok!"

However, Edo Castle was completely surrounded at this time, and it was impossible to force one in, whether by air or on the ground.

Looking at the densely packed antimatter army, Qinglan silently began to select a candidate.

"Honey, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how we can get into the city through the encirclement. If we enter the city and open the gates, I'm afraid... wait, it seems like this person can do it."

Seeing Qinglan's slightly upturned lips, Hanabi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Every time Qinglan showed this expression, it meant it was time for him to start his operation.

…………

Soldiers still resisting the antimatter legion on the walls of Edo Castle are fighting valiantly, wielding laser guns and controlling AI mechanical soldiers to fend off the legion's repeated attacks.

However, what they saw next horrified them.

A green flame instantly ignited across the entire battlefield, and a mature woman stood in the center of the battlefield, seemingly announcing the arrival of the end times.

"I am the commander of the Star God of Destruction, the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong! All members of the Antimatter Legion, evacuate the battlefield immediately!"

The Great Lord of Annihilation's orders to the Antimatter Legion are absolute. Huanlong advocates spiritual destruction; her spiritual power is extremely strong, and her words instantly cover the entire battlefield.

The antimatter legion, still preoccupied with destruction, left the battlefield like a receding tide. However, the people inside the city felt no joy at surviving such a catastrophe.

They didn't hear what "Illusion" said, nor did they know why the antimatter legion was withdrawing, but they knew that this withdrawal was just a brief respite for them.

Given the nature of the Antimatter Legion, they would never retreat. This retreat must be part of some conspiracy they are plotting.

Faced with the fear of the unknown, a shadow fell over everyone's hearts.

However, another Great Lord of Annihilation, who had been observing the battlefield from afar, frowned slightly.

"What's that Huanlong guy doing here?"

Chapter 169 Entering the City

After all the antimatter legions withdrew from the area around Edo Castle like a tide, Qinglan immediately returned to normal and headed towards Edo Castle with Hanabi.

"Darling, you're really something! You actually thought of disguising yourself as Huanlong. If that's the case, then isn't the disaster on Edo Star averted?"

Qinglan, disguised as Huanlong, lifted the siege of Edo Castle, filling her with confidence and giving her eyes a new sparkle.

However, Qinglan sighed, "If it were a normal antimatter legion, they would never have been able to turn Edo Star, with its first-class technology, into this state. Therefore, I am convinced that there must be a Great Lord of Annihilation behind this antimatter legion. I can only let them leave for now, but if that Great Lord of Annihilation were to take action, even if I were to transform into Huanlong, it would be difficult to command the antimatter legion. The most urgent task is to enter Edo City first!"

Edo Castle at this time was also quite different from what Hanabi remembered. The castle walls were now ridiculously high, and the entire city was tightly surrounded by these impenetrable walls.

There is also an energy shield at high altitude to prevent air attacks from the antimatter legion.

Hanabi and Aoran looked at the city with its defenses maxed out and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems there's a reason this city has held out this long. But Hanabi, how do we get in? Can we even get in during this special time?"

Hanabi sighed, "I don't know. I hope they won't arrest us as spies!"

Immediately afterwards, Qinglan and Huahuo landed near the city gate. However, the moment they walked towards the city gate, hundreds of small red dots instantly covered their entire bodies.

The meaning was clear: it was as if if they made the slightest move, these hundreds of lasers would be enough to turn them into sieves.

Qinglan's lips twitched. "Little Firework, the welcoming ceremony in your hometown is quite unique!"

Hanabi was a little embarrassed. "Honey, these are special times. Although we can force our way in, it's easy to get into a conflict with the people inside. Watch me!"

Immediately afterwards, Hanabi cleared her throat and said loudly.

"Fellow soldiers guarding Edo Castle, my name is Hanabi, and I am a resident of Edo Star. I hope you can do me a favor, as we have come here specifically to contribute our modest efforts to Edo Star."

The soldiers guarding the city frowned as they looked at the two people below the city, but their tone became somewhat unnatural when they heard one of the women say her name.

"She is... Miss Hanabi, is she really Miss Hanabi?"

"Fireworks? But wasn't she missing? Is this... real or fake?"

"Disappeared? Didn't he retire?"

"Oh? I thought they went to get married! It broke my heart for so long back then!"

.........

Listening to the soldiers on the city wall chattering about these things, but still holding their guns, it was clear that even fireworks couldn't make them show leniency.

Indeed, it is a matter of life and death, and we have just experienced a major battle. All the soldiers are on high alert.

Upon seeing this, Qinglan couldn't help but sigh, then immediately patted Hanabi on the shoulder, "Little Hanabi! Looks like your big star days are over, hahaha."

Hearing Qinglan's laughter, Huahuo was speechless. It was only three years since she left, but back then she was a household name! The entertainment industry is truly realistic.

However, at that moment, an officer slowly climbed the city wall and spoke loudly to Huahuo and Qinglan, who were flying in mid-air.

"Excuse me, are you really Ms. Hanabi?"

"Of course, absolutely."

"Then how do you prove that you are Miss Hanabi? Please show us your proof, otherwise we will not let you in."

Hanabi:…………

If it weren't for the fact that forcibly breaking in would damage Edo Castle's defenses, she would have already stormed in with her beloved. What kind of question is this that requires her to prove she is Hanabi?

Fortunately, Hanabi knew some of the military's identification technology on Edo Star, so she spoke directly to them.
